Missed by Narrow Margin.

OF the other ten balls thrown Sullivan
was able to sprint under only one and
that one he missed by a narrow margin.
Consequently, out OF thirty-nine balls
tossed from the Monument top, Sullivan
caught three.
The only base ball paraphernelia that the
catcher wore was his big leather mitt
his cap and his spiked shoes All of the
catches were made on the south side
of the Monument. Sullivan thus being

Promulgation Of Convention Is Ex-

Sporadic Outbreaks Likely to Be In
spired by Supporters of Korean
Royal Family.

TOXIC, August 24.-The text of the con
vention under which Korea is annexed te
Japan was communicated at IL O'Clock
this morning to the representatives OF the
powers The document, which, according
to now established fact, was signed Au-
gust - will be effective when officially
promulgated This will occur, according
to some of the ministers. August ~ OF
August 80. when the independent exist
ence OF the hermit kingdom, the struggle
for whose control started the Russo-Jap-
anese war, will cease.
Baron Hirata. minister of the interior,
summoned the proprietors of all the Jap
anese newspapers to his cabinet today
and requested them to publish no uEau-
thorized information regarding the sltua-
ton in Korea.
He pointed out that such publication
under existing conditions would only
make the task of the Japanese govern
ment in carrying out the annexation
more difficult The newspapers agreed
TO his wishes and nothing regarding the
annexation beyond official statements will
therefore be published here before the
publication of the promulgation OF the
convention.
Some Fear of Disorder.
The Japanese government. which mas
a large number of representatives al
ready in Korea, will be prepared to take
over the machinery of administration In
Korea without any delay. Considerable
uneasiness is reported at Seoul, owing to
the circulation Of threats of disorder fol-
lowing the annexation.
These emanate, according to the view
taken here. from malcontents who have
not received the consideration wnich
they think their due In the provision made
by the convention for the future OF the
Korean royal family. mobiles and Of
ficials.
Sporadic outbreaks in protest against
the absorption of Korea by japan are
enticinated but serious rioting or even
widespread objection from the Koreans TO
the annexation is not expected
No Surprise in England.
LONDON. August 2A-AIthough the
long-expected oficial announcement OF
the annexation OF Korea by Japan has
aroused the greatest interest u. diplomatic
and business circles, it causes no sur
prise.
The British foreign ONCE has for
some time been conducting INFORMAL
negotiations with Japan with tne view
of protecting British interests In
Korea under the Anglo-Japanese treaty
of alliance. negotiated in 1905.
This treaty stipulated that the free
hand enjoyed by Japan in Korea shall
be subject TO the principle Of equal
opportunities for the commerce and
industry of all nations"
Business interests insist that this
gives to Great Britain the opportunity
of negotiating a special commercial
treaty affecting Korea, under which
the advantages of the existing ar
rangements with Korea would not be
lost

Walsh Does the pitching. y

permit was secured from Iol. Spencer
Cosby, the officer in charge OF the public
buildings and grounds, and at IL O'Clock
this morning Sullivan and a coterie of
White Sox players gathered at the base
OF the Monument Big Ed Walsh, winner
or yesterdays pitchers battle against
waiter Johnson, was among the number,
and he undertook the task of tossing the
pellets from the Monument top.
Walsh put cOnsidera bile speed behind the
throw from the window in order to coun-
teract as much as possible the effect of a
ntful breeze that was blowing, and the
nrst ball dropped straight as a plummet.
But 1t was intended merely as an expert
ment, so that Sullivan might be able to
gauge speed and direction. and no effort
was made to catch il. Almost Immediate
ly the breeze freshened. and the next thir-
teen balls were carried in all directions

or three of them, and those not quickly
enough 10 make the catch. That exhaust
ed the supply OF balls at the Monument
top. and after long wait a dozen of
them were returned to Walsh.

Makes Good Catch.

Again the breeze proved q handicap,
and not until the tenth ball Of the second
lot-or the twenty-fourth actually thrown
did Sullivan get fairly under one Of the
falling pellets. This twenty-fourth ball
he caught fairly. and while the spectators
cheered loudly Sullivan showed it in his
pocket to be kept as a souvenir
Meantime DR.. Harry White, many time
conquerer of the Nationals. had evolved
theory all of his own that the balls
ought to be thrown further into the field
and while the crowd again waited he
walked up the Monument steps and.
standing well within the window to Sc
cure the space necessary for a good
swing. he hurled ball after ball as far
as possible down the Monument hill. Sui

Il think il a great mistake he said,
that the health officer has allowed the

ity has been 16 and Is per cent, wren IN
reality II has not been over per cent
at a rough estimate"
Ii was explained this morning In the
health office that all announcements OF
mortality In this disease were prefaced
with the statement that il was as near as
could be figured with the present incom-
piete methods of reporting the disease.
The health department gets reports OF
all deaths by infantile paralysis. as wei
as everything else. but the reports OF
patients suffering with the disease come
in merely because the physician in the
case remembers that the health officer
would like to have il.
