DECLARED OFF.
The International Billiard Tournament
Has Been Postponed.

New YORK, April s.-The Interna-
tional Billiard Tournament that was
to have been played in this city has
been declared off and the S., 600 offered
as prizes withdrawn. When it was
suggested that it was extremely Inn
probable that the foreign experts would
consent to come over unless their ex-
penses were forwarded, Smith Inv
structed Morris Daily to write them,
guaranteeing each $3.50 out Of his own
pocket, in addition to the S. 900 al
ready donated. But none of the French
players of note will accept. Schaefer
has broken his wrist, Ives will not be
competitor, and George Slosson is
the only prominent player willing to
enter the list. This has caused Smith
to abandon the idea of an international
tournament.

Arizona for Statehood.

WASHINGTON, April s.-"The Senate
Republicans are making strong effort
to delay action on the nomination of
the President for Governor of Ari-
zona,'' says the Baltimore sun CORE
spondent. 1.-THE Legislature of Ari-
iona will adjourn in about ten days.
The Senate of the Territory is
strongly Democratic, and if a Demo-
cratic Governor is put in Office
at once his appointments of
all local officials will, OF course, be
promptly confirmed by the Senate. To
have all Territorial officers in accord
with the Democratic party is of much
Importance, in view of the fact that
full preparations for Statehood are ex-
pected to be made during the coming
summer, and it is believed Arizona
will be admitted into the union at the
next session of Congress.

BELOIT ALL EXCITEMENT.
Result of the License Vote Sets the
City Wild.

Beloit, Wis. April THE result of
the election on the license issue is still
the absorbing topic in Beloit The na-
tional election did not create more eX-
element. The saloon men are especial
ly delighted at the citE's voting for Ii
cense and many think that the license
question is settled for many years to
come. This is high license town and
the fee will be as high as the law will
permit. The no license people say they
expect to show by the way saloons are
to be conducted that no license is best
for the town. There were only sixty
nine arrests in the two years of no Ii
cenSe against 274 arrests in the last
two years of license. Unless the saloon
keepers keep very close within the speci-
tications of the law they will turn pub
lie sentiment against them again

WANTS CANADA TAKEN IN.
Ex-Premier MERCER of Quebec Would
Like to See Annexation.

NEW YORK, April s.-The Hon.
Honore MERCER, exPremier of Quebec,
speaking OF annexation with the
United States, says:
I'VE do not want to become a part
of tie United States by way of a
treaty, but between your country and
Great Britain. When Napoleon sold
Louisiana he sold the sugar fields
and threw in the population.
Great Britain might sell Canada
in the same way-sell our rail-
roads. our canals, our public buildings
and sell our public lands and throw US
in: take the millions and leave US our
debts. For the assumption of our
$500. 600, 900 public debt we could offer
to the United States more than full
equivalent. Besides the great rail-
roads and other public works, for
which these debts have been con-
tracted. we have in the fertile belt of
the Northwest 200, Geo, coo acres of pub
lie lands which will raise great crops
of wheat. Once relieve US of the bur-
den of federal government and our
revenues would be available for many
public uses.

ANOTHER ACCOUNT OF TEXAS.
DrOuth, Failure in Crops, GrasshOp-
peers and Money Panic Makes
Things Gloomy,

EDS. JoURNAL-Having read Mr..
McCurdy's letter from Texas, in re-
ply to r. P. McElreath, send you
al extract from letter from Frank
McElreath, Of Vernon, Texas, which
will show that the failure OF so.ne
of the people out there to make
money, iss not due TO their being
''born tired" He says; "Good
wheat brings twenty-five cents per
bushel. We make this year from
five to seventeen bushels to the acre.
1t costs eleven cents per bushel
to get it threshed. Owing to the
drouth, corn and oats will be total
failure. A great many will have to
leave here, leaving their machinery,
their debts and good wishes with us.
The grasshoppers have done great
damage out on the plains, but not
so much here. The money panic
has ruined a great many. A sheep
raiser tVld me to-day that he could
not get bid on his wool in Chicago.
| sometimes look upon the old Com
snche Indian as he goes about
bare-headed in the lot July sun,
with his government tlanket, his
squaw and his papooses, all ted by
the United States, and l think how
happy you are in your heathenish
darkness, you old imp Of the devil.
The money panic and the crop fails
ures does not put any long face on
him"
From the above, it will be seen
that though man may be hustler,
ike our friend McCurdy, yet with
drouth, grasshoppers and money
panics, man may not find the
baked shoat, the honey pond, and
ritter tree even in that Eldorado.

The factory will be the material
