cot K.derable talk In loeal baseball cir

Brunswick will, in all probability, be
in it.
The News favored the idea, but said
that he league would have to be run
on a small plan to make It a success.
As viewed by local lovers of the
sport, it Is their idea to get up -*>e

DERRICK
GAVE WAY
ACCIDENT AT PUBLIC BUILDING
YESTERDAY BUT NO
ONE HURT.
A large piece ot marble, weighing
about three and a half tons, fell from
the top of the public building yesterday
morning about 8 o'clock, but, fortu
nately no one w'as injured and the
damage will only amount to about $35
or S4O.
It seems that the stiffiegs of the
large derrick had a flaw in them and
in raising the large niece of marble
from the ground to the lop of the
building it gave way. and the marble
came from the top story of the build
ing to the ground.
The marble, which had already been
cut and was ready to be placed in po
sition was smashed, and this was
■ bout the only damage done.
The workmen always keep clear ol
the large derrick when it is in opera
tion, and for this reason no one was
hurt, but had there been anyone under
the large marble it would have meant
death to them.

REAR mDMIRAL HARMONY AD
VISES FULL PREPARATION OF
THE KAISER.
Washington, December 29 —Highly
significant of the feeling which domi
nates army and navy circles that
trouble with Germany is one of the
things to be expected i.i the future is
the opinion of Rear Admiral llan.any,
retired, which has just appeared in *hc
New York Herald.
The Herald, which is one of the
strongest advocates of the ujd ui!dmg
of the navy, has recently published a
series of interviews with men in pub
lic life and with officers of the r.avy'
in wnch the desirability of a stead)
naval increase is set forth. Others
have, however, merely hinted ~t in
ture troubles; it remains for Admiral
Harmony to “talk out in meeting," as
the saying goes, and lie does it.
Germany is Being W rtjhvJ.
The appearance ot this interview co
incident yvith the Venezuelan compli
cations makes it doubly interesting.
It is no secret that Germany’s move
ments in South America are being
constantly watched, and vatc icd close
ly, by the diplomatic representatives
of the Unued States on the ground.
Germany’s declarations are necessarily
taken at their full face value .vnen ii
conies to official utterance mil official
taction, but how much her motives are
questioned was shown by Piesldeut
Roosevelt's selection of the Caribbean
as the scene for naval maneuvers
which were timed to occur just as Ger
many and Great Britain found It no
cessary to send fleets in that direc
tion to coerce Venezuela.
That this disposition of the fleet
which placed under Admiral Dewey
the largest force which has even been
gathered together on this side of the
world, was mane atm wll <
a. view to possible complications over
the Monroe doctrine. I have on the
highest possible authority. The mo
tives of Great Britain have not been
questioned. Great Britain has an in
terest in the'Mont oe. doctrine as gieat
as that of the United States itself.
From being the trad tit onal enemy oi
this country, England has become its
best friend—not through any particu
larly sentimental friendship, but be
ause she needs our friendship In ,
ruin. With Germany the case is dit
,erent. Germany has long looked wit.
hungry eyes at the great continent ol
.youth America, which she believes
ould be made to blossom and prosper
far beyond its present condition il
opened to colonization under the Ger
man flag. The Monroe doctrine stand:
in the way. German statesmen and
■he officers of the German army am.
navy have looked forward to the lime
that Monroe doctrine, and he it said 1
.iietr credit they have looked forward
when they will bo called upon to test
to it with eagerness. They are not
maid 01 the test.
