DOWNFALL PREDICTED.
Count Ito No Longer Japan's Idol-An
Uprising Against the Ministry is Feared.

New York, May 22.-The World this
morning prints the following despatch:
Toxic, May 10. via Victoria. b. c.,
May 21.-To few people who share the
secrets of the japanese government N
this portentions crisis the startling
changes of the past two weeks seem
little short of miraculous.
The whole attitude, spirit and pur
pose of the administration appears to
have been reversed in single day.
When the truth becomes known to the
people the effect will surely be astound-
ing. There has never been time in
the history of the country when gene
raj uprising against the ministry was
SO deeply feared. Even now, although
only vague rumors of the actual stu
alton are beginning to be circulated,
the tide of popular opinion is shifting
with ominous rapidity.
A fortnight ago the names of Count
Ito and Viscount Matsu were honored
every there.
Now the former is spoken of with
dark distrust, and the latter escapes
harsh criticims only because it is be-
lieved that his illness prevents him from
acting in concert with the prime min
lister. What will happen when all is
revealed is ma tier of conjecture. No
one that has had an opportunity of fol-
lowing the course of affairs doubts for
an instant that the cabinet will be COM
PEELED to retire and that the services of
the eminent leaders will be forgotten in
the outburst of indignation at what will
be deemed an inglorious sacrifice of nat.
ionai honor.
0 Alatsu stood first in popular favor, but
his nominal superior was almost equal
ly the OBJECT Of gratitude and admira-
ton.
Now the long and arduous laboIs of
Ito are falling ont of the public remem-
trance and every body within the official
circle feels that he is doomed. Without
pausing to reflect upon difficulties which
may have surrounded him or to inc uire
into the necessity which may have
inspired his actions, his cuuntrymen will
charge him with the betrayal of all that
they hold highest and dearest, and will
listen to no appeal for the conformation
OF his political errors. s...
1t has long been, known that heroic
force of character was not one of Count
Ito's characteristics. His best friends
were apprehensive at the outset of the
war that he might be found unequal
to the weighty responsibilities thrust
upon ului. DuG as dualfs proceeded
and it became evident that the move
ments of the government were wisely
and firmly directed, these anxieties
were gradually dispeled.
1t was believed that he had grown in
strength with the magnitude of the &C.
casion, and had risen above tendency
OF irresolution and timldity, which once
limited the scope of mis- ability.
But under the strain of sudden adj
versity and the imminence of peril to
the nation, Ito's stock of fortitude gave
way, and he allowed the vast interests
committed to his care to be premature-
ly sacrificed, without any proper effort
to safeguard them.

THE FIELD OF SPORT.
1t Was More Than Easy For Us
This Time.
WE PLAYED ALL AROUND THE
KENNEBECS YESTERDAY.

In Hits and Scores and Errors We Were
More Than Twice As Good-They
Played a Loose Game and We Didn't
That's All-Dooley Made Good Inn
preston, Both Fielding and Batting.
Yesterdays game WAS easy all the way
through for the Porilands. and consequent
ly pleasant for the audience.
But the result was foregone conclusion,
almost from the first inning, whom the Ken
nebecs made beginning in the FIELD by
a'uffing three balls in succession. Because
of these errors and Leighton's two bagger
and Dooley's single, We began with three
runs. We kept right on getting runs In
ever inning except the seventh and ninth.
Leighton got a second two-bagger in the
second and brought in Quinn. who had
waited for four and stolen second. In the
third Alagoon lined out a hit for two bases.
Dooley hit safe and so did Gill and tw o
morescafne in.
We got.our first earned run in the fourt b ,
Cannon hit safe, stole second and came in
on Jack Leigbton's third hit in succession.
We did still better in the fifth. After
+Dooley went out at first and Goodhart
singled, and then was caught on second,
Gill sent. warm one down to Bean. The
nimple little shoIt-stop was too sure OF it.
Because 1t started with regular bounds, was
no reason it would keep on SO. 1t skipped
Il long the ground under his hands. he
didn't touch it but it wss an error just as
much as if he'd fumbled it. When u ball
| gets away from him in that way, good in
fielder considers himself at fault. No
| diamond is a marble floor. on which the ball
will bound regularly. Gill stole second and
came in On Quinn's hit. Then Cannon
made the biggest hit on the grounds tkis
season. The ball went over the left field
| fence fifty feet up in the a ir and must have
landed in the mud fats. That gave us three
runs for that inning, and lead of 10 to2.
The Ksnnebecs braced up in the sixth
Jack Leis hton muTed Baker s fly. in that
| unaccounta BILE way that happens some
times. Then Goodhart had a passed ball
and Baker went to second. Flynn hit safe
| IL and stole second. Baker had come in OF
course. and Flynn came home on Pickett's
| hit. The latter stole second. They all stole
second yesterday, but the crowd Kissed
when Pickett ran down to third while
Goodhart was throwing the ball back 10 the
pitcher. Then Spill made an erorr and
Pickett came in. They got another run in
| the eighth but there was no hope for them
| from he beginning, and it was tiresome
| con .est from the first. The score:

Seen and Heard on the Diamond.

Jack Leighton bit like giant yesterday.
After three straight hits, two of them
doubles. lie drove hot one down to King
and broKe bis bat into two pieces.
Butler had Spill at bis mercy, and he was
{ he only ons of the Browns who got no hit
He actually struck out three times. We
would suggest that it looked very much as
if the bat were not long enough. That is.
Spill grasps it SO far up on the handle that
he don't have enough left to reach with
Dooley was justly hero of ths game. He
is six feet one inch tall and he reached for
everything on first in fine style. Also he
made three pretty hits. His beginning was
very auspicious.
Dextraze began the game at the bat for
the Kennebecs by sending sky scraper
far iGpGnto the air over right field. There
was plenty of time for Lauder TO run in un-
der fe&bward first base, but he made bad
error of Judgment and waited. Then when
he did run in, lie was too late. 1t was an
error as much as if he'd muffed it. Surely
an error OF, tie head is as bad as an error of
the hands9a
~ Goodha Certainly does not throw quick
ly to second. but our pitchers are also to
blame in not noticing the runners sharp
enough. Several times yesterday they got
such a start or Cannon. that it was plainly
no use for Good hart to throw. and he did't.
Between Gannons' neglect OF the bases
and Goodhart's poor throwing. they reached
second almost at will yeste rday.
On The other hand, Kelly throws quickly
to second, and when he throws straight,
which isn't always, the runner is about
sure to be caught He caught four of the
Portlands yesterday.
In the fourth beautiful double play was
made, like flash. Kelley caught Spills
third strike and nabbed Jack Leighton. who
was trying to steal third.
Gill did very we'll at second, but it strikes
us he is not SO good hitter or base runner
as Corbett. What's the good of so many
changes.
There were some splendid catches of diff
cult flies yesterday. Quinn, who is getting
better and batter. just reached and held a
Dig foul after long run across from left.
King ran out into right field. like deer,
and spoiled IA neat base hit. DextraZe got
Quinn foul in the same way after long
run.
Magoon is Certainly hitting the ball, and
lie knows it. After Lauder's hit in the
eight. Magoon said to the rest, as he picked
up his bat: do you want that score"
Then he stepped up and lined out his
second twe-bagger.
