With regard to the story that Haiti has seized the little island of Navassa it is learned at the State Department that the matter is now under examination by the department, but no immediate decision is expected. The tenur2 of the Baltimore company which has occupied the island is fecullar, being based upon what are known as the guano statutes, and there is, it is said, at least some shadow of justice in the action of Haiti in undertaking to assume Possession while the island is deserted. ——————_~-—_____ It matters little what it !s that you want— whether a situation or a servant—a “want” ad. in The Star will reach the person who can fill your need.

NINTH PLACE Senators Went Up, on Winning Yes- terday’s Game, NOW LEADING OUR BROOKLYN RIVALS Locals Playing Good Ball for Manager McGuire. CURRENT SPORTING NOTES Those who went to the base ball grounds yesterday afternoon, and there were 2,000 of them, witnessed about as preity a con- test as has been played here for many moons. What was still more satisfactory to the crowd, was that victory percied «n the Senatorial banner in an extra-inning game, the Orioles dying gamely, however. The-heroes of the game were Gus We: hing and Bridegroom Anderson. Weyhing pitched another of his masierly games, holding the hard-hitting birds down to seven hits, one of them being a scratch double, and giving but one pass in the ten innings. In the words of Manager Hanion of the visiting team, Gus yesterday was even better than he was years ago when he was the leading twirler of the Associa- tion, and easily demonstrated that he is today not only the best pitcher on the Washington team, but also the equal of the best in the League. He used speed, send- ing in now and then.a slow one, and at crit- ical points in the game, and’ there were many of them, gave a fine exhibition of nerve and steadiness. He was well support- ed by the men behind him, neither uf My- ers’ two errors nor that of Selbach figuring in the accomplishment of the lone run se- cured by the oystermen. m again demonstrated that he is e best and most reliable of eme! gency hitters in the League. Aboul every one present expected that beautiful silver tea service presented to him as he Went to bat in the first inning would prove his hoo- doo. It did not, however, and after Sailor Wrigley had mad= a neat little presentation address, surrounded by the men of buth teams, informing the smiling and blushing bridegroom that the handsome wedding gift represented the esteem and god wishes of his fellow-players, the big fielder went to first_on a pass from Twirler McJames, Jimmy evidently being afraid of the newly- made Benedict, Gettman having sent a singie to center. But “Andie” forged to the front in the fourth inning, smashing a single to Brodie in center field, which that would-be terror obligingly allowed to roli between his legs, Anderson reaching third before the sphere was recovered. He remained there but a moment, however, for McGuire shot one at McGann which the big first baseman man- aged to stop in time to put McGuire out, but on which Anderson easily scored. Not another run was scored by either side until the eighth inning, when the visitors tied the game. Severaf times prior to that inning, however, parti¢ularly in the sev- enth, it seemed impossible to prevent them from scoring. In that inning Selbach drop- ped a fiy sent him nn, the first e placed him S caught napping by ‘hoithrew the bail to ch him at third. myers in Brodie then dropped a fly in short left, De Montreville's little fly back of short putting him on second. Hall, the new third base- man of the Oriole a popping up a little ended the suspense by y.to Reitz, In the next inmmg Robinson t a‘fly which dropped between Selbach and Wrigley, the captain of the Baltimore team, reaching second on his scratch hit. On MeJames' bunt Wey- hing threw to third to catch Robbie, but just failed, the tieisg. run coming on’ Jen- fiy to Gettman. Neither side scored\insthe ninth inning, and with the excitement ai fever heat, My- ers fumbled r’s bunt, and Jennings was given the first man up, had gone out on adfly to Selbach when‘ ali this happened, and McGann popped a foul fly to McGuire. With a man on first and sécond, and two out, Holmes sent an easy grounder to Reitz and died at first. Wrigley, the first man up for the Sena- tors in the tenth, went out at first on a grounder to De Montreville. Weyhing was also an easy out, but Selbach sent a hot one at McGann, whose throw was muffed by McJames. Gettman then sent a bound- ing one to Jennings, who was kind enough to fumble it, and with first and second oc- cupied and two out, Anderson walked to the bat. He had a strike against him when he hit a terrific one down the left-field line, which Kelly, who had batted in place of Ball in the ninth inning, could not get hold of, and Selbach raced across the plate with the winning run.

Anderson's great batting at the proper moment has sent in the runs that defeated Baltimore in four of the last five games played with the Senators. Gus Weyhing has won five of the last six games he officiated in. He had lots of speed, pegfect control and an excelient curve jn yesterday's gan “noddle” to great advantage in playing upon the weakness of the Baltimore bat- ters. The Baltimore Herald says that consid- ering the sort of game the Senators are putting up against Baltimore they ought to be leading the league. DeMontreville was happy yesterday. He pulled off three singles and played second without an error, having two put outs and six assists. a Jimmy McJames pitched a geod game, but Weyhing did better. If Jimmy is worth $5,000, what is Gus worth? Mc- James did considerable kicking on Lynch's decisions, but the fact is, that down shoot of Jimmy's fooled the umpire as well as the batsmen. The silver service presented to Anderson yesterday by his companjons of the Wash- ington club consists of five handsome pieces with a salver. The card that went with it read: “John Anderson, from the members of the Washington base ball club. Hearty congratulations and many good wishes.” The Senators went to Paitimore at noon today and will try to take another ball from the Orioles this evening. Al. Maul will do the twirling for the Baltimores, while Swaim or Mercer will be on the rub- ber for the Washington boys.’ Tomorrow the Senators will be at home at National Park with the Baltimores again their op- penents. ‘Ladies’ day,” coupled with the great interest in the series, will doubtless draw a great crowd. Mr. Wagner extended the courtesy of the grceunds to James V. Shields, a Washing~ ton boy now in St. Louis, and ten other Washingtonians during the last the mound city. Paul Cromeiin, formeriy teller of the Lincoin Bank in this city, where the Senators usually deposit their money, was among the party. Tin horns and conch shells helped to make things lively, and the best of all, write Shields, “Washingtons won.” A meeting of the directors of the East- ern Base Ball League has been called at Syracuse, N. Y., for Sunday. A reduction of players’ salaries will be considered. President Joh: s-n of the Western League, Who returned to Chicago from St. Joseph, Mo., yesterday, says that the Omaha fran- ehise has been transferred to St. Joseph. Adrian C. Anson resigned yesterday as manager of the New York base ball club, and it was innounced that former Manager Joyce would be reappointed. Jack Doyle, the ex-Oriole first baseman, watched yesterday's game in Washington from one of the boxes. To a Baltimore Sun reporter Doyle stated that his being iaid oft by President Wagner was at his own re- quest, because of iliness. He said he had had some disagreement with Wagner, and had told him he was not happy in Wash- ington and wanted to be traded to New York. Wagner consented, and Doyle sald he thought the deal would soon be made. New York's offer for Doyle was so small that Wagner would not accept it. Fred Clarke, Louisville's manager and great outfielder, was married Tuesday in Chicago to Miss Annette B. Gray. A band of twenty pieces led the bridal procession. The bride is a sister to the wife of “Chic” Fraser, the Louisville pitcher. Both couples left Chicago that evening to join the Colo- nels in Pittsburg. The directors of the Louisville club sent a silver tea service as a bridal present, and the Louisville players also sent a silver service. Congratulations to the popular young manager were re- ccived from all the league clubs. According to the Pittsburg Dispatch, a hbase ball deal of vast importance to Pitts- burg is now under way and will probably be closed this week. It is promised that ‘when the deal is made public it will prove the surprise of a decade. While all man- her of guesses are flying around as to what the deal is, it is safe to say that it is notk- ing more nor less than a virtual consolida tion of the Pittsburg and Cleveland b: ball interests. No one need be in the least d to hear within a few days that President Robison of the Cleveland club has been given an interest in the Pittsburg ciub by Messrs. Auten and Kerr, and that an interchange of players will follow. -—__+——_ AT BREEZY WARM. Famous Old Resort Renews Its Best Attractions—Some of the Cottagers.

Attack on the Measure as a Piece of Favoritism, but it is Passed Without Division. The Senate, late yesterday afternoon, passed a bill conferring upon Adjutant General Corbin the rank, pay and allow- ances of a majcr general. When vnant- mous consent wa asked by _ Mr. Sewell (N. J.) for consideration of the bill, Mr. Pettus (Ala.) objected. However, by a vote, the Senatt decided to consider the bill. Mr. Pettus sharply criticis the measure and charged that General Corbin had been rapidly promoted by reason of political favoritism. This charge bronght several Senators to their feet, among a were Messrs. Bate, Pasco and Br- democ all of whom testificd to Corvin's distinguished ability and fitness for the position he occupies. Sewell, Hale and Foraker paid high tributes to Gen, Corbin, warmly eulo- gizing him for the splendid record he hoe made both on the field of battle and in the positicn he now hol There was no di- vision on the vote by which the bill was passed. After the Star's report. of ihe Senate pro- ceedings, was Closed yesterda’ r. Alli- sen called up the House resol pre- viding for the adjournment of Congres> at 2 o'clock today and had it reférred to the committee on appropriations. Mr. Allen (Neb.) and Mr. Hawley (Conn.) thought it impossible that Congress could dispose of neccesary business and adjourn today. Mr. Hawley called attention to the large number of confirmations that ought to be in justice to the appointees and ex- PB ed the hope that no adjournment would be taken until they had been ciepos- ed of and until all conference reports had been ageeed to. Mr. Sewell (N. J.) called up the bill fixing the rank of the adjutant general of the and Mrs. Wa'ker Fearn, well known in | army as that of major general. Mr. Peitus (Ala.} objected to considera- tion of the bill. z On motion of Mr. Sewell, the Sen: vote took up the measure. Mr. tacked the measure, declaring it was a piece of political favoritism and was a wrong to many other officers now in the fieid. Mr. Bate (Tenn.) defended the bill and 4e- fended General Corbin, the present adju- tant general, paying a high tribute to Gen- eral Corbin’s executive ability. Mr. Sewell said no man had demonstrat- ed more fully than had General Corbin his distinguished ability and his entire worthi- ness fer the promotion the pending meas- ate by who has re- | ure would give him. In reply to the charge of Mr. Pettus phat General Corbin was a political favorite and had profited thereby, Mr. Foraker said he was unwilling that such a statement should stand uncontradicted. He pointed out that General Corbin had won the honors that had come to him by meritorious services. of Jure, and most of the cottages and {His promotion had been earned step by rooms have already been taken for the season. ee AT DEER PARK.

He had served eleven full years on the plains fighting Indians, and long before that had won distinguished honors in_the civil war. Mr. Pettus interrupted Mr. Foraker with the remark that he supposed General Cor- bin was great because he came from Chio. “It is not necessary,” retoried Mr. For- aker, hotly, “for me to answer the flings of the senator from Alabama at General Corbin except to say that it is entirely un~ warranted in this Senate. General Corbin has a record-that the senator has no right to sneer at. Of course, that he came from Ohio has nothing whatever to do with this bill. The senator knows that. No apclogy came from Ohio, and especially sone to the senator from Alabama, who has manifested so much heat in this discussion.” Mr. Morgan (Ala.) thought the general idea of the bill, that the adjutan: general should be a major general, was a sood one, but he believed the President ought to make the nomination in the regular way. Mr. Morgan said that while no doubt Gen, Corbin was a deserving officer, this w: piece of personal favoritism, and senators were now engaging in returning favors. “I have no doubt,” he continued, “that Generali Corbin has rendered afte of con- spicuous service, which some of our friends missioned army, and General Corbin has had a part in that.

The vessels of the | squadron will not be the same as those | criginally selected, for the reason that the recent engagement with Cervera's squad- jron necessitated some changes.
