TODAY'S FOOT BALL GAMES.
Several Contests of Importance Are
Scheduled.

Several games of foot ball of great in
terest will be played this afternoon. AL
though not classed among the big con-
tests of the season, the outcome of the
games is looked for just anxiously OF
the part of the hackers of the various
teams they would on the result of a
Thanksgiving day scrimmage.
To the University of Pennsylvania the
contest with Lafayette this afternoon is
really one Of the most important of the
year, and for the first time in the history
Of the gridiron field the contest between
these teams is classed in advance ds one
of the big games of the season.
LafayetteS unexpected though we'll
earned victory over the sons of Penn last
year has served to increase the interest il
todays game. There is much specula-
ton to the outcome of the game. This
years teall a the University of Pennsyl-
Vania is undoubtedly stronger than that
which suffered defeat last season, while
Lafayette has one of the strongest teams
that has ever represented the eastern col
lege, so that the game will be one of excit-
ing moment to all concerned.
Captain Cochrane of the Princeton team
who was injured IN the game with the
Tigers, will probably not play in the game
With Cornell this afternoon. The Princeton
team, however. will average over $50
pounds. as it will line up today, while Cor
nelfs weight is lib. 1t is not certain
whether Cornell Will score or not, and the
betting would Seem to justify the belief
mat the Tigers are not as sure themselves
on this proposition as their coaches would
like them to be.
Reports about the Harvard eleven are
conflicting. One is to the effect thai the
Indians will have an even chance of WIN
Ling this afternoon, while another comes
fro m a coach a Yale who says that Brown
will rot even score.
1t is stated that the Harvard team is ter
ribly crippled. with some of the regular
men on the sick list. and she must of neces-
sity present the weakest team today that
she has put out this season. The betting
is even that Harvard will win
The game that will, in all probability,
attract the most attention this afternoon
Is the one between the Indians and Yale.
The Indians are confident of scoring, and
perhaps heavily, while the Yale team is
not at all corfident that there is a pos
sibility of keeping the Carlisle team from
scoring. The Yale team is in fine shape.
while the Indians are not far behind the
Ellis in the matter of condition. AS it will
be the only big game in New York, there
Is every likelihood of an immense crowd
on hand. The betting is about even, with
the odds slightly in Yale's favor, that the
red men will score.

government people as TO the cause which
mas led to the great change in attitude of
Japan Undoubtedly self-nterest has some
thlng to do with it. Since the beginning Of
the Immigration trouble last March no i'm
migrants of the $40 class have come TO The
islands Pending the contention all free
laborers have been held back by the Japan
csc government, and the result has been 4
greatly diminished immigration of the class
that Japan is most DESTROYS should settle
and acquire property rights in the Hawa-
liam Isiards. 1t is thought, however that
the persuasive firmness Of thu administra-
tlon at Washington has not been without
potent influence. But another and more
1ar-reaching motive is that the japanese
government thinks that the treaty of an
nexatlon will fail, and without annexation
there is no cause for worry or anxiety about
her interests on the islands, Should an
nexation fail, Japan we'll knows that she
can more than hold her own with the
feeble government of Hawaii whether Il
monarchy or Il republic.
At the same time, as matters stand at
this moment, the government of Hawaii is
bound to accept Japans change of heart in
good faith and go ahead with arbitration.

JAPAN WILL ARBITRATE
Agrees to Consider All Points in Issue With
Hawaii.
Reason for Japan's Seeming Back
down Said to BE Belief That An
nexatiOn Will Fail.

special from Honolulu to the New York
Tribune under date of October II. says:
The contention between the government of
Japan and the government of Hawaii,
growing out of the immigration question:,
is now in fair way for settlement by arbi-
tratioh. 1t is arbitration as proposed by
Hawaii, and not as dictated by Japan.
This is the latest news brought from Japan
by the Belsic today and just transmitted
to Mr.. Cooper, minister of foreign affairs,
by Mr.. Shimamuwa, the minister OF Japan.
The japanese government is now ready to
submit to arbitration all the points at
issue, without any reservation. Here tofore
Japan has declined to arbitrate the two
chief points at issue, both of which OF
vital Importance to Hawaii. These are, as
quoted from Count Okumas letter of Au-
gust /:

Jnpan's Changed Attitude.

This would place Japan's treaty rights
above Hawaiian law and involve the SOW
ereignty of the Hawaiian Islands. Today's
communication from the japanese govern
n ent. however. shows a complete change
in its attitude toward Hawaii. Japan
makes no reserv alton now, but desires to
submit every point at issue to arbitration
without reservation or delay. This prac-
ucally opens up the wnCle question, and
is just what the Hawaiian government has
contended for. Accepting the action Of
Japan in good faith, the Hawaiian govern
ment has made its reply promptly, suggest
ing that the arbitration shall be by three
eminent Jurists, each government select
ing one, and uniting on the choice of the
third. While making no objection to the
King of Belgium, named as arbitrator by
the Japanese government, the Hawaiian
government believes that the points st
issue. as questions of law and fact, would
naturally be best treated by lawyers, and
also that this would prevent any compli
cation that might arise If the arDitrati ton
We're by the head of foreign power
Should Japan accept this suggestion the
way will be clear to arbitration, and the
speedy settlement of the japanese ques-
ton.
agree to this last proposition. Whatever
motive there may he, it has been apparent
for a month past that the Japanese govern
ment has manifested desire to smooth
away friction and get rack to former
friendly relations with the Hawaiian gov
eminent and also with the government of
the United States. This has been plain
enough ever since the Japanese cruiser left
Honolulu harbOr over q month ago. The
communication received from Japan today
is scarcely yet known outside government
circles, but the information contained in
this dispatch is official authority.
