EneIand's Interest in Siam.

Great Britain's interests in the
settlement of the ST, mese-French
question are not regarded as merely
commercial, although the houses
engaged in the Siamese trade have
raised no small part of the popular
protest against Frances action. -
The opinion in high/p1litical
circles is that more important in
ternational matters than England
immediate trade with the east are
at stake. Siam has long been re-
garded as the buffer between
France and England in the east,
and the prospect that this buffer
will be mutilated or halved is be-
lieved to threaten trouble for the
British in Burmah.
The territorial claims of France
are not limited to the region 80
miles wide and $50 miles long, in
habited by tribes which Siam has
ruled but nominally and which has
been explored only by French trav-
elers. They extend over an enorm-
Gus piece OF Siam proper, and II
granted, will separate Siam from
China, and bring French and Brit
ish possessions in Asia into
immediate conjunction. This
Siamese territory, which France
demands simply because she covets
it, is one of the most fertile and
advanced districts of Siam. The
surrender Of it to the French would
annihilate a large British trade.
Neither England nor China is like
ly to remain passive in case France
persists in her endeavor to exact
this unpledged pound of flesh.

The BOSTON'S TEAM FAILED TO
SCORE a SINGLE POINT.
A Return Match VIII Probably
Be ARRANGED.

| As anticipated, a large cOncOurse OF
people witnessed the first football
game of the season on the new base
ball grounds Saturday afternoon, the
contesting teams being an eleven from
the L. :. :. Boston, and the Pacifics,
a recent creation of Secretary Corbett
of the Young Mems Christian AssOci-
alton. 1t was agreed that American
intercollegiate rules should govern
the game, and the ground was marked
Off in conformity thereto. Promptly
at half-past t, the advertised hour,
play was commenced, the Pacifics
winning the toss for position.
Following the lineup the Pacifics
got possession of the leather, and by
active playing forced it down in close
proximity TO their opponents goal.
After number of exciting scrim-
images Left Tackle Wise of the Pacitics
got the ball, and by a clever double
pass, which completely fooled the OPP
posing team, enabled COrbett to make
a pretty run for a touchdown. a
successful punt-out having been made,
Il straight kick to goal was made by
Corbett within eight minutes time of
play, scoring the first goal for the
Pacifcs.
The next goal was made by the
PaciticS in six minutes play, being
kicked by Corbett.
After many downs on both sides
and indiscriminate playing, Wise
made another clever double pass to
Corbett, who scored touchdown by
a well executed run; but by a wide
kick TO the right of goal, failed to
oF, II -
After the next lineup, the play was
pretty well toward the Pacifics goal,
and the Bostons made several good
points. The referees allowed n foul
against the Pacifics for some violation
of the rules, and after few moments of
delay play was resumed. COrbett got
the ball and scored a running touch
down for the Pacifics in IS minutes,
and afterwards made Il straight kick
to goal.
Three minutes being lost in wra ng-
ling on the field, half-time was called,
the score standing four tOuch-dOwns
and three goals, or % points for the
Pacifics as against nil for the BostOns.
After n rest of ten minutes, play
was resumed. In the last half-time
the PacificS managed to secure two
more goals, winning the game by a
score of five goals and four touch
downs, or total of 81 points to nil.
Ensign VOgelsang, of the Adams,
and H. c.. Hapai refereed the game to
the satisfaction of both sides and all
present Several good plays were
made by members of both teams,
Corbett, Wise and Crane leading for
the Pacifics, and Humphreys, NOrcOtt
and Boyle for the BostOns. 1t could
be easily noticed shortly after the
game commenced that the BostOns
stood but little chance of winning the
game, their opponents seeming to I'M
derstand the game more throughly
and outplaying them at every point.
There are two or three members of
the Bostons team who should learn to
keep their tempers before playing
football again; one of these made HIM
self particularly offensive in many
ways during the game.
In all probability a return match
Will be arranged.

Knows Nothing of 1T.

Professor Henry Berger in an
swer to inquiries made last night
said that he knows nothing of the
assertions regarding trouble in the
Hawaiian band. Two of the men,
bers of the band have resigned but
there is no danger Of the band 60
ing to pieces. He states that the
article published in an evening
paper was wholly without
foundation, and as far as he is
informed the members of the
old band are neither willing or
anxious to be restored. As far as
musicians are concerned he says he
is able to fill any vacancies which
may occur, without the assistance
Of persons who are trying to write
down the Hawaiian band for rea-
sons best known to themselves.

MATCHMAKER AND JEWELER,
DUSHORE. IA.
For 1893.

This is the season when many
people give their orders for reading
matter for the coming year. In this
connection we would call the atten-
tion of all to the unparalleled offer
made by the publisher of the REPUB-
LICAN. The offer is the REpUBLT-
CAN and New York Tribune one
year for the small sum of Sl.25.
This is the best newspaper comb
nation ever made in Sullivan coun-
ty.
The REPUBLICAN, is by far the
best paper published in the county.
Our subscription list has nearly
doubled in the past six months and
it continues to grow. This is good
evidence that it is the leading paper
of the county.
The Tribune needs no recon-
mend from us. 1t is an old estab-
lished paper well known to nearly
every one. Ii ranks among the
very best city weeklies, having de-
partments for the family, the boys
and girls, The agriculturist, the
puzzle solver, and the best digest of
city markets of any paper published,
When two such papers as these
can be procured for tbe remarkable
low price of $l.25 for whole year,
no ore should be without reading. If
you hav'nt full supply of read
ing for 1898 send the publisher of
the REPUBLICAN $1.25 and try this
combination.

Topeka, Jan. 10.--The predicted
clash between the Republicans and
Populists of Kansas over the organi.
zation of the House has come, but
in a totally unexpected manner
The Populists made bold bluff to
exclude from participation all those
members against whom contest were
pending.
The Republicans would not listen
to such a proposition which would
mean the surrender Of the House to
the enemy, and the result is that
two Houses are organized and are
in full blast side by side in the same
room.
1t has settled down to a case of
freeze out and the side with the
most endurance will win.

FIGHT AGAINST CEOCKER.
His Leadership OF Tam many Hall
Will BE Strongly Contested by
Disappointed Members.

New YORK, Jan. S.-The fyht
that has been brewing in Tamme nv
Hall for some months is rapidly
reaching focus, and it will be a
short time only when Richard
Crocker's leadership Will be dis
puted.
Ample evidence is already at hand
that the moment a break appears in
the ranks there will be a rush to
muster under the banner of the OPP
position without regard to the form
In which it maintains itself. Mayor
Gilroy's administration promises to
be one of great dash and brilliancy.
Precedents are to be cast aside,
great public improvements, like that
OF widening Elm street at cost of
three million dollars, will be order
ed and carried out, as in the Tweed
days, and the patient taxpayers will
be called upon to foot the bill.
Then the trouble may begin.
Hitherto Mr.. Crocker has been one
OF the most discreet of men, but
now it would seem that he has cast
discretion to the winds, as when h.
issued his manifesto, declaring that
lie had no use for "business men,
as such.
The disappointment in mercantile
circles when Mayor Gilroy an
nounced his first batch of political
appointments on Wednesday was
great. In Wall street and among
banking men the feeling was one OF
severe censure. Meanwhile the
politicians, who were forgotten in
the distribution OF patronage, and
who have been buoyed by the hope
OF securing a snug political berth,
are now ready to fight. They are
willing to throw off the mask of
friendship Mt the instant the call to
arms is made.
With the appointments of John
L. Scannell as Fire Commissioner
the factional fight in Tammany Hall
is intensified. Ex-Mayor Grant re-
peatedly refused to give Scannell
an office, although urged to do so
by Crocker. The fact that Mayor
