CANADA'S INTRIGUEs,

In Hawaii Regarded as Signi fl
cant at the State Department..
WASHINGTON. Dee. 16.-The dispatch
Of the Associated Press with the latest
news from Honolulu was read with
much interest by state and navy de-
partment officials. Secretary Gresham
exp ressed his thanks for the privilege
of reading 1t, bat had nothing to say on
the cOEtents or on the Hawaiian ques-
ton. His attention was especially
called to the definite move by Canada
to secure closer relations with Hawaii,
but he refused to express an opinion
upon this phase OF the question. Can
ada'S efforts to secure fOOthold in
Hawaii are. however, regarded by the
state department officials as particularly
interesting and significant. One of the
assistant secretaries of the department.,
whose attention was called to the SUBJ
ject, at once turned his attention to
looking up the statistics relating to
trade between Canada and Hawaii.
During Mr.. Blalne's administration
of the department Canadian commits
!sioners came to Washington to endeayor
to include this country in their scheme
of broader commerce. One Of the
commissioners was Hon. Mackenzie
BOWell. Canadian minister of commerce,
who is the same official now negotiating
in person at Honolulu.
An official, who has closely observed
Canada'S efforts to extend her trade,
said:. Minister Bowell's move in Ha-
Wall is in line with a settled policy of
Canada to
DIVERT TRADE
from the United States. At first Cam
ada attempted to open trade with the
West Indies, and one OF the Canadian
ministers, Mr.. Foster, went 10 the
Indies to negotiate for the new trade.
AT the same time attention was given
TO extending Canada's trade in the
Pacific. The Canadian Pacific line

"Budd.' Easy-going and quiet men
who love the game of billiards do not
often make such exhibitions of them
selves as they did when this announce
ment was made. They were not con-
tent with giving forth meaningless
yellS from their lungs, but they stood
on their seats and waved their arms
wildly about. Two men waved their
handkerchiefs in JOY which they only
felt by cOntagion.
Schaefer did not wait an instant. but
made another stroke with that wonder
full cue. and went Oh with his work.
When he got to $50 Schaefer was
tired. His movements from one side to
the other of the table were labored. The

almost constantly in action. He had

he made those last 10.

Festivities on the Ice Blades and

Last night the Ramsey street skating
rink gave its opening. with an excellent
attendance. good ice and plenty Of
music. Next Wednesday evening Miss
Mabel Davidson, whose accomplish

known to be here commented upon. will
give an exhibition at the above rink.
Miss Davidson is at present member

ly impatient before the men appeared.
William Moulton, as in most of the
games during the week, was the ref
cree. Schaefer won the bank. and
chose the spot ball. He was
successful on the break and seemed
to have fallen into his stroke imme-
diately. only he contrived TO pick off II.
The balls were left in very bad shape
for Ives. and he failed to count. Schae-
fer sailed in greatly in earnest and
pulled out IA open table shots, failing
on simple carrom. Ives got them near
the upper rail and began to get interest
ed in the nice exhibition of balk-line
billiard nursing. He became so inter-
ested. in fact, that he failed to get the
balls out of balk after making 50. The
score was then % to 80 in his favor.
Schaefer and Ives were both appar-
emily determined. Schaefer cracked
an ineXcuSable duck egg, and Ives, who
was apparently in state of lassitude
as yet, rolled them around for ten and
stopped on a misscue. For the second
time Scbaefer passed, falling to hit the
object ball. and there were some groans
over the poor playing when Ives made
only four. Schaefer then
WENT TO WORK LIKE A MAN.
In the tenth shot he got the balls
securely anchored on the lower rail.
and he began to play the nurse with a
superb lightness that he had not before
displayed during the weeks games. He
used his cue as though it were feather,
and the ivories seemed scarcely to move
under the magic touch. Young Ives
brought his teeth down hard on his
mouthful Of tutti frutti when the Wiz
ard passed the 100 mark, but Jakey
went right on with the work. encour-
aged by the terrific plaudits of the
crowd whenever he made a quarter
of hundred. When he passed the
200 notch, cheers rang out all over the
hall. When Schaefer, still perfectly
fresh, and with grim sort of smile
on his face, passed the 800 mark,
the assemblage rose as one man and
shouted for fully five minutes. If he
could hold the position. Shaefer would
exceed. If not surpSss the big ''anchor"

the Chicago tournament. From side to
side of the table lie walked, mopplng
his forehead, but cool and impurtabla.
When he had completed $50, and while
the crowd was yelling itself hoarse.
Jake walked to where his attendant
was waiting and took another quaff
from the tea cup. With renewed nerve
he went back TO the table, and began
again. Ives would occasionally rise

administration Of State Affairs
Suits the People, Says Croker.
New YORK, Dec. 16.- "A formal inter-
view with Richard Croker, chief sachem
OF Tammany hall, was given out for
publication today. The feature of the
interview is that it is largely personal.
He starts out by saying that he invites
an investigation by the legislature.
Then follows circumstantial defense
of Tammany hall. The big chief makes
the positive declaration that he does not
possess dollar that was not honestly
earned.
''If those who charge otherwise" he
said significantly, would. only make
specific declarations,I would find means
of compelling them to prove their
charges He follows this up with the
declaration that he will under DO cir
cumstances withdraw from the leader
ship of Tammany. He believes the peo-
pie of New York are satisfied with the
sort of government Tammany is giving
them. With reference TO the reSOlu-
lions recently adopted by what is called
the Independent Tammany organiZa-
ton, he denies that the Ii quor saloons,
gambling houses, houses OF ill-fame and
other criminal re sorts are assessed
for political purposes. He says
there is not gambling establishment
in town, and in the first time
for thirty years such a thing can be
said. He acknowledges that he advised
the passage of law that would close
the pool rooms. He says they We're
nuisance, and they diSgraced the city.
Nine-tenths of those who went into pool
rooms were clerks. who could drop into
pool room across the street and lose
their money.
AS to DR.. Parkhurst. he said: II
have never said anything against DR..
Parkhurst, and will tell you why. l
have good deal OF respect for any man
who tries to do what he thinks is right,
and / think Dr. Parkhurst is that kind

Rain Prevented the Raid.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 16.-A drenching
downpour of rain today. which caused
the postponement of the races at the
Ivy City course, saved the management
and hookmakers from the disagreeable
results of a raid. The authorities claim
that the law is being violated by max
ing pools at the track, which they con-
strue to be within the meaning of the
mile limit law, though the betting ring
is just outside. All arrangements had
been made for the raid, but the rain
frustrated the plans. 1t is authori-
tativeiy stated, however, that the raid
will occur the next day books are made
at the Ivy City track. Owing to this.
the races have been postponed in
definitely until some arrangement can
be arrived at.

Preparations for Winter Sports
The committee from the Western
Base Ball league. which was expected
arrive in st. Paul Friday, or yester-
day at fartnest, has so far failed to ma
teralize. 1t will be remembered the
committee was to pass upon the protest
filed by A. A. Poupeny for the st. Paul
franchise in the league, which was not
granted, owing to the delay in tele-
gram. John S. Barnes was seen yester
day. He stated that the matter was still
in the balance, owing to the non-appear-
ance of q. A. Vanderoeck, the present
owner of the Detroit franchise. The
date of his arrival is little indefinite,
but he may reach st. Paul any day now
possibly by tomorrow, as he wired Mr..
Barnes that he would reach st. Paul
somewhere between Dec. Is and 20.
Whe reaches here the other members OF
the committee. one each from Minne-
apolis, Sioux City. Detroit and Toledo,
will be notified by Mr.. Barnes, after
which they will all come together here
at the Merchants hotel and settle the
mooted question as to whether st. Paul
shall enter the league or not.
Mr.. Barnes yesterday had filed with
him thA official hOpd of II r .TahOSOO of
Cincinnati, for $4,000. Mr.. Johnson is a
sort of trinity i'll the Western Base Ball

secretary and treasurer are united i'll
him. OF course it is we'll understood
that there are eight cities represented
by clubs in the league. each of which
has to forward to President johnson
$500 in cash, or 1000 in all, and he has
forwarded Mr.. Barnes his bond in
double this amount, including, also.
other incidentals.

HAWAIIAN MESSAGE.
There Is a Chance OF Its Delivery
Monday.

Monday.
WASHINGTON, Dee. 16. = There is
nothing new to show that President
Cieyeland's message on Hawaii has yet
been completed or put in writing for
transmission to the senate. 1t has been
confidently expected that it would go in
on Monday, but there has been no au-
thorltatiye information to warrant the
expectation. 1t is now suggested that
the president may desire to hear from
Honolulu after the Corwin's arrival be-
fore divulging the history of the Ha-
Waiian episode. This would involve a
delay of many days, as the Corwin was
not due in Honolulu before Thursday
of this week. The supposition that the
message is to be withheld SO long is
regarded as extremely improbable.
State department officials were busy
today preparing quantity of new ma
terial, on what subject could not be
learned.
