BASE BALL TODAY.

Something About the Opening League
Game at Athletic Park.
The base ball season in Topeka will
open with the first of a series of three
games with Leavenworth at Athletic
park this afternoon at o'clock, the
weather permitting.
The Leavenworth team and party of
about twenty-five people arrived at noon
and are at the Fifth Avenue hotel
Manager Fred W. Gasmann of the
Leavenworth team is confident of
winning today's game and he has
imported battery from Kansas City
to help him do it. He will probably find
that his Kansas City men will not sur
prise the Topeka players very much. On
the other hand, Connors, the Topeka
pitcher, will probably show them few
moves in ball playing they have not
heard of before.
The center fielder of the Leavenworth
team is Henry Sickel. who, like Hoy, the
great center fielder of the Cincinnatis, is
both deaf and dumb. If he can play
half as we'll as Hoy he is good enough.
He is the favorite of the entire team.
The positions of the players are as fol-
lows:

CRISIS NEAR IN HAWAII.
1here Never Will Be Harmony TIL the
Monarchy h Restored.

There Never Will Be Harmony TIL the
Monarchy Il Restored.
SAN Francisco, May 16.-Julius A.
Palmer. who went to the Hawaiian
islands to investigate the state of affairs
there as special correspondent of the
New York Evening Post three months
ago, arrived here on the Australia He
believes that there will soon be crisis
there, and that the end can only be the
restoration of the monarchial form of
government He says there never will
stored and Princess Kaiulani is placed
upon the throne
In giving his reasons for this belief he
said: There are three main points of
danger to the government The first is
that Secretary Gresham has decided that
Bowler is not an American citizen, and
that Great Britain has decided that Rick
ard and Walker are British subjects.
"The greatest fear of the Hawaiian
government is Japan, and they do not
scruple to say so. They are making ar
engagements to get in 5000 Chinese
coolies and send away as many Japanese.
The government, when the Japanese
coolies came in, gave an understanding
coolies they would employ them. Now
Japan will probably hold that this an
Outstanding is being violated.
''The third danger to the govern
ment party is in themselves. The dem
ocracy, or American league is taking
umbrage at the new importation of Chi
nese.
"The financial condition is also one of
the things that will help bring on crisis.
May the government advertised pub
licly that no bills must be paid except
in three and six months credit.
'The loyalty of the natives to mon
archy was never as strong as it is now,
and it was the basis of the union of all
parties in past years, aud there will be
no harmony until that monarchy is re-
stored in Princess Kaiulani, and that
would make peace at once"

Topeka Man Said tn Have Been Swim
died Out of $4,000
CHICAGO, May 16.-The arrest of Wal
ter Marshall Cowen of Kenosha in the
Texas land swindling case was the re-
suit of an investigation begun by Gov.
Culberson of Texas, his land commits
sioner and j. Baker, and Gov. Altgeld of
Illinois.
So far as known here, there are now
six victims of the swindle, whose aggre-
gate losses are nearly $4,000.
About the middle of April William
Briggs, of 6019 Green street, Chicago,
was in the Washington street real estate
office of Jackson Taylor They were
discussing real estate deal
whersbyS Mr. Briggs had traded
property in Chicago for land in Texas.
Mr.. Taylor said that his client had more
of the land and desired to obtain more
Chicago property. The next day Mr..
Briggs introduced Col. Slough of COOS
Halstead street As result of the intro
duction Col. Slough traded property at
COLL Morgan street and at 1881 Eliz-
abeth street for Texas land.
The amount involved was $4,000.
Mr.. Briggs received an abstract and
warranty deed. The name in the de- ed
was Thomas Fl. Bell" of Denver, Col
The papers were certified by Attorney
Cowell of Kenosha, who claimed ia have
power of attorney from Bell, and Cow
ellis seal as notary public was affixed.
Colonel Slough wished to inform him
self regarding the taxes on his newly &C
quired property, and wrote to the author
tiles of the counties where the land was
located-Pecos, Preside and Tom Green
counties. In reply he learned not only
that he had no title to the described
property, but that Thomas H Bell never
had title to it
An inquiry for further Chicago victims
who it is believed exist in hundreds, will
be prosecuted until the time for Cowelps
second arraignment. Topeka. Kans."
Said Detective Alexander, will furnish
a $4,000 victim and a man in West
Washington street. Chicago will swell
the aggregate at least $4,000 more"
In connection with the land swindles 1t
is believed Cowell had to do with but a
small portion of them. The police as
sert that the big swindlers live and
maintain richly furnished offices in Chi
! cago, and while the COwell continuance
| is pending an effort will be made to To-
cate them.

Frederick Warde.

| OF the play which Is announced for
production at the Academy of Music
Thursday evening by Frederick Warde
and his company the follow criticism
us taken from an exchanges:
"D'Ennery's brilliant romantic drama,
The Mountebank,' was splendidly pre-
scented by Frederick Warde and his ex-
cellent company last evening before an
appreciativo audience. In the role of
william Belphegor, the Wandering
Mountebsnk, MIR. Werde has plenty of
room for the display of his versatile
histrionic powers. His portrayal of the
anguish OF the deserted husband Is o
masterprice of acting. A more emo.
tional situation than that a. the climsx
OF the second act is seldom seen on tho
stage, the audience being spellbound IS
father and cen were overwhelmed with
grief. Both we're compelled to come
before the curtain in response to the
storm OF applause. Again, at the climax
OF the third act, Mr.. Warde and the
clever Count de Rollac, personated by
Mr.. Herman, were rewarded with
curtain call. Tho rest of the cast is also
satisfactory"
In addition to this dramatic company
Mr.. Warde carries double quartette OF
trained vocalists, who contribute largely
to the success of The Mountebnnk"
by their rendition of the musical num-
bers introduced.
Manager Hooper is guaranteeing Mr..
Warde $500, and it is left with the
musement. loving people to say whether
ne has to draw on his bank account or
not. The tickets for Warde are now on
sale. Manager Hooper has arranged
that the prices shall only be csc. soc,
75c and 81, which are less than Mr..
Warde ever played and only consented
to do so on account of Manager Hooper's
guarantee. Secure your tickets st once
and don't keep jack on the anxious
bench.
