The Augusta Chorus

Judge Philbrook, as usual, led the
Augusta chorus, last evening, in the
vestry of the Universalist church. But
while really more than pleased with the
work the singers are doing. he says
that it is positively necessary that all
be present at every rehearsal, to be in
suitable condition for Prof. Chapman
to take up the work, when he arrives
in a few weeks. The impression, per-
haps, prevails among some of whal
might pass as the better, or more ex-
perienced singers, that there is no par
ticular need of their regular attend
ance.
At the conclusion of one of the most
successful rehearsals yet held, and one
of the most enjoyable, Judge PhilbrooA
impressed on the members of the cho-
rus, that they make special effort
one and all, to be present at the re-
mainder of the rehearsals.
His work as leader is highly appre
ciated by all. He inspires the singers
with fine expression, and, under nj:
able leadership, they are making grea
progress.

In my statement published in the
Journal of Monday, relative to fish and
game legislation, l state that the open
time for moose is from Oct Ito Decem-
ber l. This was the way it passed the
House. as 1 was present and heard
Jones of Lincoln, offer the amendment
to this effect, and the bill as thus
amended was passed to be engrossed in
the House, and as 1 heard of no change
from any source after that, supposed
the bill passed in that form. but no.
tice by the printed laws that it was
changed after it passed the House, SC
that the close time on moose is frcm
Dec. / to Oct, Is. instead of from Dec.

LIQUOR RAIDS.
Marshal Morss and officers Go
Through North End Bar-rooms.
And Succeed in Finding Some Con,raband
S!un--Work Done systematically.

City Marshal Morse and officers,
raided the three liquor saloons at the
North End at 6.10 o'clock. last evening,
owned by A. M. Walker. Charles Well
man and Charles E. Stungis. A good
amount of liquor in each place was
found and the proprietors were sum
moned to appear before the municipal
court to answer to the charge of ille-
gally selling.
few minutes past 6 o'clock, the
marshal accompanied by Officer Jones
in team left the police. station.
Shortly afterward on foot followed
Officers Shea and Randall, and later
Officers Thompson and Ward also
Joined the procession. No one sus-
pected for a minute that there was
anything in the wind. Messrs. Morse
and Jones descended upon Sturgis'
place. while at the same time Officers
Thompson and Ward were doing the
same at Walkers establishment and
Officers Shea and Randall at the store
occupied by Wellman.
The proprietors We're dumbfounded
but We're very calm and collected when
the guardians of the peace announced
that they would take charge. In the
places run by Walker and Wellman
were a crowd of fellows playing cards
and shaking dice and generally having
a good time. The raids We're done in
such n systematic manner that all the
goods on hand were captured, va
riety, too. at that, whiskey, rum, gin.
wine and beer.
The officers informed the customers:
to vacate which they did without much
ado. In fact in one place, as soon as
the policemen had shown themselves,
three Cf those in the crowd had dis
appeared.
The team which carried Marshal
Morse and Officer Jones to Sturgis'
place was loaded with the goods and
taken to the police station. A large
crowd assembled as usual in order to
see the excitement.

TRAINING OF A GLADIATOR.

Into Condition-ip-Fig Is
What Defeated Gorbett.

CARSON. March iS.-Charlie White left
for San Francisco early this morning.
taking with him Corbett's other trainers.
Despite the defeat Of his man. White was
congratulated on all sides for his work in
putting the ex-champion into the superb
condition in which he entered the ring.
White was given free swing In his train
ing and used his own methods with such
success that he has taken first rank in
his profession. He said, in explanation OF
his system;
II consider Il of the highest Importance
20 get an accurate opinion on the Condi-
ton OF the man before beginning work
Upon that opinion the training must be
based. the work being varied 10 suit the
man. The exercise must be begun gradu-
ally. the speed and weight OF the work
being gradually increased up 20 within a
short tinSe before the fight. Then the diff

weakest and slowest shall he used at wide
intervals. thus punching the kind Of work
in which the man shows bis best form.
As the time for the contest draws near.
the boxing should be done az the hour at
which the fight is TO occur. and great care
should be taken in the road work 10 pre-
vent Injury 10 the wind.
In training Corhett ! hammered his
face. arms and breast every night with
small bags containing a powdered prep

could be seen. the skin ives not broken

beaten Fttz IL ne had practiced his usual
ring tactics and stayed away. In-dghting

where he won.

GIVEN AN EVEN BREAK.
sfler Was Quick to Resent an Inn
piled Threat by the ex-
Champion.

CARSON. March ls.--Just before the
fight an interesting conversation took
place ia Corbett's dressing room at the
arena between the champion and Referee
Siier. Corbeft opened the conversation by
saying:
ly''
How do you think that you are going
TO win H. that you make such remark
as THAR asked Sier.
"Oh. ] don't mean anything rejecting
on you" retoined Corbeft. "bu; there are
a thousand OF my friends from San Fran
cisco at the ringside. and they viii not
goes 10 get into that ring he viii have
the whole top OF his head blown OF. =
That means, ! suppose" said siler.
that II don't do just right. the whole
top OF my head will be blown OFF,
Not al all Corbett replied. but my
friends win not stand for me to lose.
I'm tell you one thing" said Siier. and
that is. the very best that you're going to
get out OF this thing viii be an even
break That Is all you are entitled TO.
and il Is all that you are going TO get.
That is all that FItz has coming 10 him.
and he VIII get just that and nothing
more X is possible that / may lose my
head and make a mistake. but ] am GO
ing TO be careful. and l viii see that both
Of you get an even break. and nothing
more"
Corbett again declared that he had not
meant that any attempt would be made
10 intimldaie the referee. but that ne
feared that the feelings of his friends
could not be restrained in case they saw
him losing
The end Of the fight. however, was so
quick and so decisive that there was no
room for argument on the part of the
friends of Corhett or anybody else.

BALFoUR Is ASKED To EXPLAIN.
House OF Commons Much Excited
Over Cretan Question.

LONDON, March ls-Apparentiy the
blockade OF the island of Crete does not
begin until Sunday next. but the situation
is very puxzling Sir William Vernon
Harcourt tried 10 obtain light on the sub
Ject today, and Mr.. BAlfour refused TO be
drawn into definite statement on the
subject.
The badgering of Mr.. Balfour caused
much excitement. the opposition evident
ly making the most OF the statement OF
the Marquis OF Salisbury the other day.
when he referred 10 the speeches Of NJ.
Meline and NJ. Hanotaux.
Mr.. Morley began by saying sarcastic
ally: I'VE have been referred by Mr..
Salisbury to these speeches. whether. in
the words Of Meline. Greece has again
been invited 10 accede 10 the note OF the
powers"
This probably irritated Mr. Baifour
whose irritation grew as Mr. Morley. Sir
Charles Dixie and others pressed him.
each side vigorously cheering. The excite
ment was intense when Sir William Har-
court arose and said:
Perhaps, before We move a vote OF the
censure. We must ask If We be allowed TO
debate it,
This reference TO yesterdays closing of
debate on a clause 10 the education bill
Aas received with loud opposition cheers.
Il must ask again continued Sir VIII
liam amid cries of order" as the only in
formation which has been given 10 the
house and country Is in the speeches of
Hanotaux and Meline. what the words
then Crete would be hlockaded in NJ. Me-
lines statement means" (Cries Of or
der")
Mr. Balfour. who was then at a white
heat OF irritation. answered the question
as given out.
Il is Understood in the Hobbies Of the
house OF commons that Sir William Har-
court will shortly take UP Mr.. Balfours
challenge and move an address 10 the
crown on Cretan Affairs.

JAPs NOT ALLOWED TO LAND.
Hawaiian Government Takes Firm
SInnd Axainsi IsnInI n rants.

SAN FRANCISCO. March iS.-The fol-
lowing advices from Honolulu were
brought by the steamship Australia.
Serious trouble Is anticipated here over
the refusal OF the customs authorities TO
permit the landing OF 5S1 Japanese laboreTs
brought here by the Kobe immigration
Companys steamer Shinshiu Maru. Tho
local agents OF the japanese company
have been placed under arrest. charged
with violation OF the immigration laws,

The rejected Japanese threaten open re-
volt. and they have the sympathy OF the
entire japanese population Of the island.
The matter has been carried into the
courts. and II the japanese fail 10 find re-
lief there they Will probably appeal 10
their consul to interfere.
In case the consul does not interfere.
trouble IL sure 10 follow. The customs
authorities arc sure that they have un-
earthed a gigantic attempt TO import Jap
anese into Hawaii in violation OF the Inn
migration laws. and they propose 20 make
IL 40 warm for the schemers that they
will not dare attempt IL again. The feel
ing runs equally strong among the An
glo-Saxous OF Honolulu.
There Is a diversity OF opinion on the
rights OF the present lot of immigrants TO
remain on the Islands. While the bulk
OF the people are not informed ON the Law
touching immigration OF japanese into
Hawaii, either free or contract. stlil thu
belief is current that there is q defect in
the statutes.
The men placed under arrest were: w.

ident Of the Kobe Immigration Company.

were released on their own recoKHizance.
