AT The NEW GAME.
Slosson and Schaefer Meet Over the
billiard Table in New York-A
Brilliantly PLAYED Game

New York, Feb. 5.-Nearly every bill
lard enthusiast of note in this city and
vicinity was at Madison Square garden
concert hall tonight TO witness the
contest between George Slosson, the
champion billiard player and Jake
Sehaefer of Chicago, VINO met there to
decide which was the better player at
the newly-formed game of 1S-inch balk
line billiards. The intricacies of the
wide balk line game were never made
more apparent than in to-nights game
Each man was on his mettle, but the
sloWness of the scoring made it evident
that the 1S-inch balK line game. with
the condition of one shot in space, is
calculated to puzzle the most expert
players.
The Wizard opened up with a miss
ana Slosson followed suit. Then Schaef-
er put up a brace of buttons and his op-
ponent followed with similar combi-
nation. Slosson in his third inning by
clever aii-around playing. placed Is
TO his credit, and Schaefer in his sixth
and seventh innings responded with Il
and %, most of which were made in the
open by very dexterous plays. Schaefer
IN his 18th inning put UP a beautiful
bunch of "a, to which Slosson replied
with good runs of 10 and 90
Schaefer then got the balls under his
control and played fautlessly for q
buttons and followed up with a string
y 's'i' "". ~ tiit tlii u tue DUtil
inning the score stood: Schaefer $40.
Slosson 324. Score at the end of the
6Sth stood Slosson 466 Schaefer 452.
Slosson played second fiddle in the
music made by the clicks of the worries
until the finish of the saith inning, when
he pressed the Chicago man with n
squirt of % buttons From this time on
Slosson kept in the lead and by some
very pretty work on the open table put
together beautifully punched 10.
At the conclusion of the 18th inning
Shaefer was Go points behind, but by
brilliant all round play. which included
delicate nursing and wonderful straight
rail billiards. the Western player soon
tied the score, amid deafenng cheers
and handelappine
Some of the shots We're marVelously
executed, and the most difficult prob
lem offered him seemed easy until he
fell down on follow shot" to the
cushion when he had made a break of

Versary With 3S to go in order to win.
Slosson started on a beautiful run in
the S0th inning. The New Yorker made
"a by nervy work. but he fell down on
a draw shot. which was very difficult,
and he failed to score. Schafer then
started in and ran out the game with
a we'll put up "a, which was played in
faultless style.

JAPS IN HAWAII.
There viii BE No Bar to Their Natural
ization as Citizens.

Washington. Feb. 5.--In view of the
question that has been raised as to the
correctness of the conclusions had by
the officials of the state department
who have been engaged with the nego-
tattons with the japanese as to the
status Of the japanese in Hawaii after
annexation, further inquiry was made
to-day to ascertain the ground for the
statement that the Japanese, unless
there was legislation To the contrary by
congress, would be entitled To the priv
ileges of naturalization if they so desire
qulemeHts of the law. The officials
naturally are reluctant 10 discuss pub
licly a question of this kind, which must
be hypothetical. in advance OF the dis
position of The pending annexation
treaty and, moreover. are indisposed to
be put in the position of laying down
legal principles. But, in substance, their
contention is that, under the laws as
they exist to-day. japanese subjects are
entitled to naturalization.
As for the condition that will arise
under the new treaty with Japan, that
goes into effect in 1882 the state de-
partment holds that 1t confers upon the
japanese the rights Of favored nations
In all matters. While there does not as
yet exist any naturalization treaty be-
tween Japan and the United States, this
cannot be regarded as Il bar to natu-
radiation. for there are no such treaties
existing at Il number of countries the
citizens of which are admitted To United
States citizenship upon compliance with
the laws
