"The lime for the report to he made Is left to be agreed upon, and It may be that the tlmo will tllffer in different cases, but any time, however short, fur nishes an opportunity for investigation and deliberation, and It Is hoped that the period provided for Investigation and de liberation will be sufficient to secure a settlement without resort to war. "Each party in to reserve the right to act Independently after a report Ih sub mitted, but It Is not likely thu a nation will declare war after it had had an op portunity to coiifer during the Investi gation with the opposing nation.

SENTIMENT ALL FOR THE GAME City and Count Official Will Soi Call lor r.lccllon, Which Would lie Only n Needless KxpeaNe. Sunday base hall In Omuhu. will bp tol- I crated by tKe fans and people In general Lund pIayTa li .- tlje pluycrn without tne formality of an election, as required b a law passed by thp state legislature hub year. At least this is tho way the pioposltlon lines up at the present time. Senate file No. 2S, Introduced by Bart llng of Otoe, Is the Sunday base ball o'lt. It strikes the word "sporting" out of the nntl-Sunday amusement statute; speci fically permits base hall In a village or city when a majority of the voters x press their opinion by so voting, or In a county outside tho corporate limits when the county board so votes. The hill was passed with the emergency clause it tached on SIArch 18, Just ono month irlor to the opening of the Western league In Omaha. No Election la IMaalia. Up to tho present time no ono has asked tho mayor to call an election for the purpose of voting on this bill and the chances are that It will never bo put to a vote. Thero Is very little opposition to Sunday base ball In Omaha. Pa llourko has never been Interfered with by the "dada" and no formal kick has been lodged by tho residents In the vicinity of tho ball park. B. F. Martli president of tho Trl-Clty Baraca union, Is not figuring on fighting against tho playing of base ball In Omaha on Sunday until It Is legalized. When seen on tho subject by tho sporting editor of The Bee Mr. Marti said: "There aro many worse things In Omnha. than the playing of haso ball on tho Sabbath. I am going to take tills proposition up at tho noxt meeting of the union, but 1' don't think It will do any good to fight Sunday haso ball In Omaha. It Is too popular and, as I said before, thero are many things which need chang ing In this rltv before we start knocking Sunday base ball." County Not Concerned. As to the county commissioners and the city commissioners, they havo no opposi tion to Sunday base ball ami will nut i agitate an election. Ho It appears as If : Omaha will have Sunday base ball In tho .future Just as before, and there will probably ho no election Just for the pur pose of legalizing It when everyone knows that the majority of Omaha voters have no fault to find with the national pastime on Sundays In Omuha.
