said the minister from Pocassett.
"You are not a minister, and you
know it, he continued, land this is no

The excitement grew intense. The
ministers clinched and it looked as if
they would fall in a heap on the floor,
but they broke away just in time.
When they finally separated the min

end of the hall and stood beside the
stove and glared at his rival until the
services were over, but hostilities were

JAPAN'S TRADE.
About Forty Per Cent. of All Exports Sent
to the United States.

About Forty Per Cent. or All Exports sent
to the United States.
Japan's recent great strides in trade
and commerce form the subject of 4
long report to the state department
from James F. Connolly, United States
consul at Hiogo. Mr.. Connolly tells of
the wonderful progress in mangf9c5
tues, aTts, etc. The opening up Of
China to the investment of capital and
trade operations, accomplished by the
Japanese themselves will eventually,
according to Mr.. Connolly, prove per-
haps the most serious drawback to the
future trade of Japan. He thinks that
until the operation of the revised trea-
ties with Japan are tested and prece-
dents established as to the rights of in
dividuals and of property, the prefer
ence in all matters connected with in
vestments of capital and trade pursuits
will be in favor of China.
Figures given in the report show that
the United States purchased about 40
per cent. of all Japanese merchandise
sold for export last year. American
merchandise sold for import shows q
decrease for 1895 as compared with the
previous year.
In making inquiries on the subject
of American trade Mr.. Connolly was
told generally that the quality of Amer
lean products was excellent but the
producers did not seem to consider the
trade of Japan sufficiently important
to remodel their prices and freight rates
to the extent necessary to meet the
competition,

by's Unique Live Fish Exhibit

New York, March 21.-The exhibit
tions held in Madison Square Garden of
the Sportsmen's association during this
week is one of the most interesting
and instructive shows given in the
east. The association was organized
year ago with the object of increasing
interest in sports of all kinds. One OF
the most important changes this year
is the establishment of the loan and
trophy department, for which elaborate
preparations were made Many we'll
known hunters of this city were rep
resnted by specimens of game of all
kinds, large and small, while cups,
medals and other prizes won by them
were shown. Other interesting features
were a tribe of Indians shown with
their camp equipage. They erected te-
PEGS, built their camp-fres, hobbled
their ponies and generally gave faith
full representation of their life. Dur
ing the hours Of the exhibition they
made the beat and other work which
is common among them, and appeared
themselves at times in peace dress, and
at other times in war dress, and gave
many characteristic dances
One of the principal features of the
loan exhibition was furnished by Police
Commissioner Theodore Roosevelt Mr.

big game as he is of catching law

Theodore Thomas presages a perma

as TO entertain the hope that he will
eventually return to the east. But
Chicago has a strong hold on the direc-
tor. Last year the golden jubilee Of
his arrival in America was made the
subject of an elaborate celebration in
which Chicago's leading citizens took
part.
Mr.. Thomas was born at Essen, Han
over, Germany, October II, 1885, and
came to this country in 1916. He re-
ceived his musical education principal
Iy from his father, and played the
violin in public when only six years old.
After his arrival in New York he
played in concerts for a while, and then
made tour of the south. Returning
to New York in 1851 he played in con-
certs and at the opera, later becoming
an orchestral leader. In 1855, in con-
nection with others, he began series
of chamber concerts, and in 1854 ne
gave the first of his symphony concerts
These were continued until 1873, when
he went to Cincinnati to take the d1rec-
ton of the college of music there. he
returned to New York in 1880, ana re-
su1ned his work here, occasionally max

ARBOR DAY PROCLAMATION.
1t Is Issued by Gov. Upham--
May First.

The governor Arbor day proclama-
ton issued Saturday, is as follows:
State of Wisconsin, Executive Of
flee, Madison: In conformity with
law and custom which, in a few
years, has commended itself to the peo-
pie of the state, |, William II. Upham,
governor of the state of Wisconsin, do
hereby designate and set apart, Fri
day, May l, next, as Arbor day, and
recommend that the public schools and
other educational institutions and the
citizens of the state generally do OBJ
serve the same in an appropriate man
ner.
Il recommend that the day be de-
voted, as in former years, to the very
general planting OF trees, shrubs and
flowers, to the end that lawns and es-
pecially school grounds and public
parks, may be permanently enriched
and beautified.
"(SeaD. In testimony whereof |
have hereby set my hand and caused
the great seal of the state of Wiscon-
sin TO be affixed.
Done at the capitol, in the city of
Madison, this 18th day of March, in
the year of our Lord 1896"

The Upham oficeholders also made
d quiet, sly fight against Mr.. Scofeld, a
rumor having gained circulation to the
effect that the opposition to the re-
nomination of Gov. Upham had begun
to crystalize around the Oconto man as
an available candidate for governor.
1t was queer combination to see Hau-
gen and Upham men both working to
defeat the same man, but it only
served to emphasize the saying that
politics make queer bedfellows when
rooms are crowded.
The pulling and hauling was some
thing awful all the morning. The fight
in the tenth district for a place on the
state central committee resulted dis
astrously for the A. P. A. men who
were backing Mr. Willard because he
was conspicuous before committees in
the last legislature when speeches were
made in favor of taxing church prop
erty. They only mustered q votes in
the delegation, however, and Mr.. Mil
lard was defeated by L. H. Mead, WHO
is prominent secret society man, but
has never been accused of being a
member of proscriptive organizations.
Frank Pooler, La Crosse delegate,
said that his part of the state was
stoutly opposed to Hoard, who, he
thought had already done harm
enough to the party. In his opinion
the Hoard move was that of a faction
which should be suppressed as en-
phatically as possible. He denied that
Sawyer was supporting or favoring
Hoard. Sawyer was entitled to place
on the delegation and he was doing
nothing to imperil his own chances
After all the money that Mr. Sawyer
had spent for the party, it would be
rank ingratitude to prefer any other
man to him as the head of the delega-
ton to the national convention. AS
to the settlement of the Milwaukee
contention, Mr. Pooler said that it was
the result of the pounding admins
tered to the Payne movement by the
delegates from the rest of the state.
1t would have made no difference if
Mr.. Payne had a unanimous delega-
ton from Milwaukee, for he could not
have been elected even then. Four
years ago he was sent to Minneapolis
as Harrison man and then entered
into a deal to defeat Harrison. The
republicans of the state remembered
that incident and they did not propose
to have any man on the delegation
this year who would not vote fair. No
matter how much Mr.. Payne might be
n of
known that he was not in sympathy
with the movement. There is no call
for such men at this time.

breakers. He has spent years in the
country and Canada, and his trophies
are interesting for their attractiveness
and variety. Next to the donation of
the police commissioner that of George
Gould was the most attractive. The
railroad magnate has interested him
IL years old, and in his pilgrimages to
the southwest, which occur once
year, he secured many valuable and
unique prizes. Still another prominent
man who lent his aid to
making the show successful is
Robert Bonnor. His exhibit in
cludes several hundred trophies.
Messrs. G. P. Morisini, Fred Hoey, the
crack shot, and w. C. Harris, are also,
among those who lent valuable collec-
tons to the association during the
week.
Of the athletic organizations the
chief exhibits Of a loan nature came
from the New York and Manhattan
Athletic clubs. These consist for the
most part OF banners and cups won
from time to time in all big event of
the continent. The Chicago Athletic
club and the Boston Athletic associa-
ton also exhibited. Such celebrated
champions of the cinder path and field
as Alexander A. Jordan, the all-around
champion; E. G. Carter. big James

ment the BARRIERS have kept their shops
