As trudged along on that lonely walk

the hardships and disappointments the future
had in store for US.

with victory, from scenes dark with dire de-

moss waved in sad sympathy and the soft

the moaning pines. Some answered from far
Northern prisons, and some from pallid and
suffering forms on hospital cots. Many in

various discouraging reports were brought

that Hood had surrendered, then again that

escaped were scattered in the woods. So l

if possible, and await Developments

labor As the old year with its pleasant
memories dies and the new year is nshered in
with all its bright hopes, and the studies and
work and struggles begin again with renewed
effort, while peace and quiet reign for short
time, let Us draw our chairs around the cheer
ful hearth of THE NATIONAL TRIBUNE and
have u chat about our prospects.
AS each of us in turn expects to be at the
very head Of our " to be great National
Patriotic Literary Association, let US each see
how much we can accomplish. Why not
everyone of you get together all the bright
young women of your acquaintance and form
home social club to meet semi-monthly;
elect officers, lay out your programs, and see
that they are carried out Take up the read
ing of history, solid fiction, and poems. Get
your books from the public Libraries. Let
each member read chapter or poem or an
account of anything interesting, then let the
members discuss it. You will all have any
amount of real happiness and pleasure out OF
it,
Then at our National meeting your papers
on patriotism consist mainly of an account OF
the work that you have accomplished In your
home club.
Here is Thought on which would like to
have the opinions of the members. Let each
member pay, say % cents admission fee and
so much per year, whatever you decide upon,
and the funds thus collected be devoted TO the
buying of patriotic literature for the poor OF
our neighborhoods. Your paper might be
sent to old soldiers or their descendants who
could not get it otherwise Or we could ac-
complish great work among the poor many
of whom do not know the meaning of patriot
ism.
Wishing you all the good things of the
season and peaceful, happy and prosperou;

Japanese to Enjoy Same Rights as Other
Peoples.

Washington, Feb. 5.--In explanation
of the position assumed by our state
department in the negotiations with the
Japanese government, relst tive to the
status of Japanese citizens in Hawaii in
case of the annexation of the islands by
the United States, it may be stated on
the authority of the officials charged
with the conduct of the negotiations,
that, in their view, if new legislation is
not had, the natives of Japan resident
in any part of the territory of the
United States. unless expressly excepted
by law or treaty, will have the rights
Of citizens of the most favored nations
after July, 1899 upon the taking effect
of the treaty with Japan, negotiated by
the last administration and promul-
gated March q, 1896
The department officials believe that
Japanese now in the United States are
entitled to naturalization, provided they
comply with the terms of the existing
laws and that they are also entitled to
free entry to our shores, the only prohi-
bition upon Asiatic immigration being
laid upon Chinese
In addition, the new treaty with Japan
specifically in articles l and 2, confers
upon Japanese in the United States full
right of free entry and travel and all of
the rights enjoyed by people of any
other nationality, in defense of their
rights, and in all matters connected
with the administration of justice.
They are privileged to hold lands as
a native citizen, to trade freely, estab-
fish factories and generally do all Of
the exemptions accorded other national
tiles. With all this there Is one saving
clause, found in the second article, pro-
viding that the treay shall not affect
| the laws regarding trade, immigration
of laborers, police and public security
| which are nov in force o. which may
hereafter be enacted
1t is possible that exercising this
| privilege, congress may legislate to
control the entry into the United States
of japanese or regulate their move
ments from one part of our territory to
another, but as the matter now stands,
there is no provision touching this sub
ject, and there viii be none under the
operation of the new treaty in 1890 I'M
less congress acts.

EXPEDITION SAILS.
Relief for Klondlkers Now Actually on the
WAY.

Portland, Ore, Feb. 5.-The expedition
which the United States government is
sending into the interior of Alaska with
supplies for the relief of miners who are
reported to be in want sailed for Dyea
tonight on the steamship George w.
Elder The Elder carried $50 passengers,
81 of whom are officers and enlisted men
of the army, who will act as escort to
the pack train which it is expected will
carry the supplies over the passes, The
officers in charge of the detachment
are: Capt. George Rubin, assistant
quartermaster; Capt Bogadus Ed
ridge, in charge of the escort, with
Lieut.. b. w. Clark, assistant and Lieut..
G. NJ. Kemp, assistant surgeon. About
200 tons of provisions We're forwarded by
the government from here, and addition
al supplies will go from Seattle in few
days.
Brig. Gen, Merriam, commanding the
department of the Columbia who has
general supervision Of the preparation
for the expedition, has assigned Major
L. H. Rucker fourth cavalry, to the
command of the relief expedition. Major
Rucker has been ion Alaska for several
weeks, and has taken temporary sta
ton. at Dyea.
Gen. Merriam expects to so to Alaska
on the steamer Oregon which is sched-
uled to sail from here Feb. 8, and from
Dyea he will direct affairs until the eX-
petition is started over the passes. The
government has let a contract to the
Snow and Ice Transportation Company
of Chicago for carrying $50 tons Of sup
plies from Dyea to Dawson City, but
as the paraphernalia of the company has
not yet arrived on the Pacific coast. it
is probable that Gen. Merriam will push
on a portion of the supplies by pack
train to Lake Lebarge, and there build
boats on which to carry the supplies
down the Yukon.
1t is expected that the reindeer
brought from Norway by the govern
ment, will be landed in Alaska within
a month, and if possible additional sup
plies will be taken in with them.

TO HOLD AN INDOOR MEET.
Holy Cross viii Have One in the College
Gymnasium Next Month.

The Holy Cross Athletic Association has
decided to hold an indoor meet in the coll
lege gymnasium again this year. The date
for the affair has not been set as yet, but
1t will probably take place sometime in
March. A set of games was held there
last season which were very successful,
although the track is small and the seat
ing capacity somewhat limited
During the B. A A. meet at Boston,
Saturday night, after Holy Cross had been
defeated by the U. of p. relay team, it
was suggested to Trainer Murphy that
the Pennsylvania boys come here and race
Holy Cross again, this time with half-mile
relays. Trainer Murphy said such a race
would be agreeable to him, and 1t is proba-
Bile that arrangements can be made where
by the teams will meet again.

scHAEFER BEAT sLossoN.

New York, Feb, with the victory
giving the American championship in 1S-
inch balk line billiards almost within
his grasp, George Slosson was defeated
tonight by Jake Schaefer Of Chicago by
a score of 600 points to 500 points, in the
game for the championship of America,
which took place at Madison Square
Concert Hall.
Throughout the game the men were
playing so evenly that It was a toss
up as to who would win. Schaefer was
the favolite, but towards the end of the
game it looked as if Slosson would win
but he fell down on a drive to the cush-
ion, when he had good lead and only
four points to score to win. On the.
whole, the billiards was very slow, but
the play was interspersed with some
brilliant work. Schaefer's highest run
was &C.
