The Skeeters won and the Orioles lost
in yesterdays game making the two
teams tie for first place. The former
beat the Broneos. The latter were van
quished by the men from Toronto. The
Colts saved themselves from a shut out
at West Side Park by scoring a run in
the opening inning. They played a
plucky and snappy game. They did not
allow the Skeeters to score until the
sixth inning. 1t was fine contest be-
tween Olmstead for the Jerseys and
Faulkner for the Canadians, but Ohm
stead proved more effective in tight
places. Faulkner put his team in hole
three times by issuing passes but fine
fielding prevented scoring in each in
stance. But one error was made in the
entire game and that was by Bean. Ro-
chester did not make an error. But this
fact. only the more strongly accentaates
the Skeeters' victory. In the opening
inning with one OUT, Manning, Of Roches-

Assemblyman James Hamill Of this
city was the principal speaker at the an

day night of the Young Men's Catholic
Association. In urging that aI organi-
cations of this character should taks
part in politics, Mr.. Hanill said -
Primarily the object Of them Is ths
uplifting of their members. They ara
training places for young men, to enable
them TO engage in the struggle Of life.
They are the homes of recrea ton and
refugees from trial and false aaluremeat-
In the period of youth, when the char
aeter Of young man is plastic aud when
the habits Of life are formed and when
vice is apt to present itself to them IA
more entieing -guise than at any other
time of life, these associations serve to
surround him with the influences which
shield him from temptation and mould
him to useful Christian manhood TEeir
purpose is to minister to the threkfoid
wants Of mens to improve their intel
lects; to strengthen their morals, and to
satisfy the innocent and laudable desire
for physical exercise and enjoyment
mot only do these associations confer
benefit on the individuals who compose
them, but they are mighty factors in the
political life Of the community. and con-
tribute most powerfully to the mann

gence and good morals, and right here in
this connection we may avail ourselves to
propose the question whether associa
tions Of this kind should take part in
politics. whether they should become po-
litical factors. In my opinion the aues-
ton should be answered in ths aairma-
tive.
by this assertion, however. I By no
means wish to imply they should become
either the servant or the enemy ef. any
political party in the State for the mere
sake Of engaging in political warfare.
But should the emergency ever arise
where the interests Of society or State
are threatened with danger, or whore
the interests of themselves impsrilsd,
then if a remedy at theh polls.be e4pedi-

KAISER EXCITED.


PARIS, Junei16. 1905. The Figaro
says that the conversations which are
going on between France and Germany
relate TO something more than the Moroc-
co question, which is merely a pretext
for opening up a general discussion be-
tween the two Governments. Neverthe-
less Germany wants the Morocco ques-
tion settled before anything else. Should
France agree to the international con
ference proposed by the Sultan Of Moroe-
co, 1T is probable. says the Figaro, Z
that the diplomatists would meet in Paris
and not in Fez.
Germany desires to obtain from France
guarantee that the latter will not try
to isc.ate her. either by negotiations that
would tend to impair the Triple Alliance
by relations Of close intimacy with Ger
naany's rivals or by other means. Ger
many desires plain and exact assurance
that France is not and will not be against
her.
F The Echo de Paris says that Ger
many asks France to agree purely and
simply to the summoning Of the inter-
national conference on Moroccan affairs.

Col. Dickinson Withdraws
Opposition to the Third
Nomination of the
Mayor.
RESULT OF WARD CANVASS
RESULT OF WARD CANVASS
Al Wednesdays Conference
Il Developed That Repub-
licans Overwhelmingly
Favored Pagan.


Col Dickinson, the Republican local
leader. announced today that he had
withdrawn his opposition to the nomina-
tion of Mayor Fagan for third term.
This conclusion, he says, was reached
after a conference at the clubhuse the
Dickinson Association Wednesday night
with Republicans who had canvassei The
situation BY wards Ten of the twelve
wards Of the city were represented at
the conference. The reports indicated
that the Republicans in all the wards
Overwhelmingly favored Mayor Fagan's
denomination.
''That's all I wanted to know the
Colonel is said to have explained. after
the reports had been discussed.
News Of the Colonel's withdrawal of
his opposition to Mayor Fagan created
sensation in some quarters while in
Others it had been predicted. 1t was re-
ceived joyfully by those holding Office
under the Pagan administration. Some
sores have been left, however, that win
not be easily healed.
City Collector Fry was in an amiable
mood, be he refused to discuss the mat
ter. He has been known throughout as
the peacemaker.
Speculation was rife in the City Hall
as 70 whether the Colonel would resume
his weekly visits to the City Hail. Prior
70 his falling out with Collector Fry his
weekly receptions were held in the Col
hector Office
Colonel Dickinson also denied this
morning that he would attempt to replace
the Big Four Fry, Ely. Higgins and
Mitehell-of the organization committee
Of Hfhe Republican County Committee,
who espoused the Mayors cause when
the Colonel declared against him.
Mayor Fagan was not inclined to dis
cuss the matter
A few of the Mayors supporters ex-
pressed the hope that there was no 80
kerH in the ColoneI's announced attitude.

MERELY
MENTIONED

Sergeant O'Connor, of the Oakland
Avenue Police Station, did d very fool
ish thing when he went on the bond of a
woman charged with being q disorderly
person. He committed an offense against
the laws of the State when he falsely
swore that he was a property owner.
Chief Of Police Murphy promptly sus-
pended the Sergeant when he learned
the facts. O'Connor is liable to dismis-
SAL More than that. he will be very
fortunate If he escapes Indictment and
Imprisonment. Not much sympathy is
expressed for the accused Sergeant
among the members of the police de-
partment. They recall how he tried 10
put Captain Nugent in a hole when he
was doing duty in the Grsenyille pre-
cinct. The Captain had committed some
trivial breach Of the rules Of the depart
ment It would have passed unnoticea
had nor Sergeant O'Connor hurried off
to one Of the Police Commissioners and
by exaggerating the facts caused the
Captain much annoyance ana perhaps
some worriment. Sergeant O'Connor de-
serves no consideration at the hands Of
the Police Board His offense is a seri-
Gus one and is aggravated by the fact
that the woman for whom he put his po-
sition and liberty in jeopardy is well
known 10 the police and one whose char
acter is not of the best. Ii remains to be
seen whether O'Connor. who is a promi-
nent Republican, can successfully exert
his political influence to smother the case.

PEACE EFFORTS
Powers Unite to Prevent
Further Fighting and
Induce Japan to
Moderate Her
Terms

WASHINGTON, June 16. 1905 The
question now agitating those interested
in the pending peace negotiations be-
tween Russia and Japan is the possibility
of the cessation of hostilities. Despatch
es from Manchuria say that the Japan
ese army is apparently beginning what
may become great battle President
Roosevelt is extremely anxious that moth
ing should happen 10 interfere with the
success of the conference which is to be
held in Washington.
If the Russian and japanese forces
should be locked in another death strug-
gle between now and August, when the
envoys of the two Powers are expected
to meet, the problem would become very
much more difficult National feeling
might be aroused, which would hinder
an agreement on terms of peace The
President is said to be using his infiu-
enee to stop the fighting until it is known
what the outcome of the peace negotia-
tions win be.
The first step would probably be the
signing Of protocol by Count Cassini,
the Russian Ambassador,and Mr.. Taxa
hira, the japanese Minister in Washing
ton. This is the usual procedure when
two warning nations come to the point of
trying to agree. Field Marshal Oyama
and Gen. Iinievitch would then be in
structed to conclude an armistice, and
the fighting in Manchuria would stop I'M
til peace had been concluded Or diplom
acy had failed
There are no signs as yet Of any
steps TO sign a protocol. It is said in a
most authoritive quartersthat question
of a cessation of hostilities may not and
probably will not be determined until
after theh peace plenipotentiaries meet
in Washington. 1t is admitted, however,
thar an ar4nistice could be arranged on
the field
Russia, il is learned has already had
an inkling of what Japan's peace terms
will be, and the neutral Powers have
been made acquainted with this informa
tion.
The additional fact was disclosed to-
day that the Governments of the United
States, Germany and France are COUNSEL
ing Japan not to be TOO severe in her de-
mands. and there is a hopefE feeling
that these opportunities will be effective.
as 1t has been made plain that Japan de-
sires to retain tie sympathy Of her
friends aud 10 give no cause for criticism
to the Powers which are generally sup
posed to be friendly to Russia.
England was asked to join IN this
movement to persuade Japan TO be rea~
sonable. but declined to do SO, holding
that Japan was her diplomatic ally in
Far Eastern affairs and had won the war
without England's assistance and should
not be hampered by any suggestions
from that Government in dealing with
her yanquished enemy.
Japan. it was declared to-day. was
particularly anxious to retain the COR
dial good will Of the United States. and
ment i inaking ii behalf Of moderate
! treatment Of Russia are expected 70 bear
good fruit,

George NJ. Mcgarthy's announcement
that he would not make a contest for the
Mayoraity only confirms the statement
made in The News that he was not the
man whom Co Dickinson had in mind to
pit against Mayor Pagan at the prima-
ries. The News does not claim to be in
the confidence of the Republican leaders,
but the fact remains that it is the only
newspaper that predicted these import
ant happenings.

For the information Of some Of the
Pagan followers who seem to think that
recent developments indicate that thefght
against Mayor Pagan viii be abandoned
before the primaries, the News" will
state. though not authorized to do so,
that Colonel Dickinson is as much deter
mined, if not more SO, that Mayor Pagan
shall not receive another nomination.
The Colonel is carefully laying his plans
and in few days bomb that is intend
ed to do considerable damage win be
hurled into the Fagan camp.
1T would be rank cowardice for the
Colonel to quit at this stage of the
game, said a well informed organization
Republican last night, and he has no
such Intention Just watch events. The
political fur will soon begin TO fly and
there will be a lot of the Fagan follow
