Baseball.

The St. AlOysius and the A !lexandria
baseball teams played a game on the old
fair grounds yesterday evening, very
large crowd being present. Some very
petty plays we're made on both sides,
but the Washington players were The
heavier batters and won the game by 2
score of 7 to 8. German pitched for the
home team and Noyes for the Aloysius.
The demonstration after yesterday $
game was disgrace. While no doubt
exists that the umpire was wrong IN
some of his decisions, yet 1t was plan
that the Ale&andrias could not have
won the game, as some of the local team 5
errors were too expensive, The Alex
andrias are putting up good games at
all times, and can win games without
the assistance of a crowd OF h0odlums.
The Alexandria team is composed OF
gentlemen, who wish to win the games
on their own merits, and can DO soi bnt
they don't expect TO win every time
A large crowd of citizens are attending
the games aud want to see good orderly
ones. Besides large number Of ladies
are also present at the various contests,
and such occurrences as that Ct yesterday
are not only disgusting to them, but al
so to the peace-loving baseball enthusi-
asts. Let us have good, orderly games
without the interference of bystanders.

The Gulf Stream.

New York and vicinity will become
famous as 4 winter resort If the Gulf
Stream keeps up its tendency in that d.
rection. There is evidence that the big
stream oil warm water from the Gull Is
many miles nearer Sandy Hook than
ever before in the history of current OBJ
seryations. The nearness of the Gulf
Stream is one explanation of the warm
water Ut the beaches this year. The old
"steadies" who swim at Manhattan
Beach every day while the pavilion is
open declare that they never knew the
water TO be so warm as it is this year.
All the regular swimmers agree that the
water along Coney Island has been con-
sistently warmer this summer than AT
any time in their experience. Scien-
lists are unable to explain this yagary
of the Cult Stream. In fact, sclen-
fists have never been able to explain
much about the stream. They know it
is out there in the ocean, about 100
miles from Sandy Hook, and that it is
about 800 miles wide ut that point.
Long Island real estate men are already
making use OF the Gulf Stream to adver'
tise their property. Some OF them as
sert that the Gulf Stream runs within
40 miles of Long Island in the winter
time, when it is pressed in by Arctic
currents

Pond on Alexander Island.

Col. HOxie, engineer in charge OF Po-
mac river improvements, has submitted
his report upon the pond of stagnant
water on Alexander Island. Complaint
reached the Office of the Commissioners
of the District of Columbia from several
sources that the pond caused by the con-
,struction of an embankment by the rail
road company across ROach's run had
resulted in nuisance. The locality be-
ing outside the jurisdiction of the Dis
trict of Columbia, the matter was refer
red to the War Department. Col. Hoxle's
report shows that no action by the war
Department "would be practicable or
appropriate, and that it is probable
the railroad company at an early day
will remove the cause of complaint.

fected By scaling a back fence and
breaking through the rear portion OF the

about the rooms of the house, and there
was every reason to believe that boys

common occurrence of late for people
who leave their houses for a few days
during the summer months to return and
find evidences of robbery or vandalism.
Others who have taken their families on

turning home, found their fruit trees de-

PEACE PROSPECTS.

President ROosevetis reported to have
made an appeal to both Russia and Ja'
pan to leave the question OF the purchase
price of the northern half Of the Island
of Sakhalin to the arbitrament OF a com
mission. According to a dispatch from
the ST. Petersburg correspondent OF Il
European news agency, Count Lamsdorii,
the Russian Foreign Minister, declares
Russia will pay no contribution direct
or indirect, nor will it make any cession
of territory, Emperor William has ex-
pressed his cordial recognition Of Preslg
dent Roosevelt. Efforts for peace. The
Krupps have received orders from Japan
for armor plate and guns costing Sill
go, 600. There is a growing French
sentiment that Russia is losing ground
by her delay in accepting the peace
terms.
A high financial authority in St. Pet
ersbrrg declares that it will be impossl-
bic for Russia to continue the war.
The foreign capitalists who subscribed
the eI2O 600, 900 war loans are not
likely to give another penny, and
the internal loan has proved a drug
on the market, only 1000, 900 to 20
600, 900 roubes having been taken up.
The resources of the treasury are, 1t Is
added, so exhausted that within few
DAYS it will have to abandon the artificial
stimulation OF bonds. There remains the
alternative ofreyersion to paper currency
or the forcible appropriation of the wealth
of the monasteries if Russia must con-
tinue the war.
The report has reached the Russians
in NJ. Witte's suite at Portsmouth y. b.,
that Emperor William may go to Peter
hof to see the Gar. 1t was stated in
cable dispatches that he had sent an
officer of his staff to st. Petersburg. A
military man ia used in Germany and
Russia for private messages between SOW
ereigns. The report is regarded at Ports
mouth as significant, for the last time
that the Emperor saw the Car the result
was a stihening of the Russian backbone
II Emperor William arranges to meet the
Gar again it would hardly mean that
Berlin was more anxious for peace than
il was sometime ago.
