THE FIRST TOURNAMENT
A Good Attendance at the Butte
Tennis Club.
PICKING THE WINNERS
Hillman Is State Champion and VIII
Play the Winner of the Pres
emit Tournament-To-Day's
Attractions.

The first round at the net in the three
days state enn took
| place yesterday afternoon at the court
of the local tennis club. corner of Mer-
curry street and Excelsior avenue. The
attendance was good and a number of
society ladies were interested spectators.
This is the first state tournament since
1895. and il is a pretty hard proposition
to pick the winners. The out-of-town
contestants are H.. II. Matteson, Great
Falls; r.. w. Thomas, Anaconda; John
Bryce, Helena, and Clifford Hillman,
Helena. Hillman won the champion
ship in 1895 in singles, so he is now the
state champion and will not play in
singles until he meets the WHINE of
the present tournament. He played a
match in double yesterday which dem
onstrated hat he is in good form and
whoever meets him at the finish will
certainly get a good run for first place.
He is a graceful. steady player. places
his drives with great accuracy, seems
TO watch the opponents game and is
quick to take advantage.

Bryce showed wonderful endurance.
and the longer he played the better his
game became.
X. w. Thomas is an excellent player,
but was not at his best and showed the
effect of too much practice work in the
morning. In the match between Barker
and Matteson, the latter played much
better than the score indicates, and
this was one of the most interesting
matches of the day.
All but the finals were best three in
five. There were three matches in sin
giles and two in doubles.
The score: Singles-Barker beat
Matteson. Cd; 60. Mclaughlin beat

ASKING FOR RkTl0NS.
General Lawton Putting Cubans to Work
in santiago.

Santiago de Cuba. Sept. 5.-Two hun
bred CubanE from Genera Cebreco's
camp in the hills near Cobret province
came to the city this afternoon and sur
rendered their arms and asked for ra-
tions. General Lawton took the arms
and put the men 10 work on the water
front TO arm their rations.
The Cubans say their forces in San
tiago province are suffering from want
of food and are on the point of break
ing out. They have no provisions and
cannO get forage. General Lawton has
replied that he will ration all men who
will come to town, give up their arms
and work for their food, but that he
will not supply any men who persist
in keeping arms and skUiking in the
hills when they ought to be on the
plantations helping TO make harvest.
He believes il will not be long before
most Cubans will have given up their
fight for recognition and hay returned
to their homes.

PEARY'S ESQUIMAUx.
Only Two of the Six Survive and OGe of
Thcm Boy, May Not Go Back.

"Esquimaux in New York will soon be
mighty scarce" said Matt Henson, who
s the active assistant Of Arctic Explorer
K. E. Peary. Four of the six Esqui-
naux brought hero by Mr.. Peary have
died. When the Esquimaux party reached
New York it consisted of the following
Ahlungahnaksoah, who is IS years old
the little boy Mini, who is 9 years old;
Nooktah, 43 years old: Ah-weah, Nook
tabs daughter, 8 years old; Kessuh, 30
years old, and his brother "Little'' Kes-
sub, 81 years old.
All but.the firstItwo have died. It was
evident that the climate here did Lot
agree with them, and four suocumbed
at last to sort Of consumption. which
was very quick. When they came here
the party was put in charge of Superin-
tendent Wallace, of the Museum of Natu-
raj History. and the Esquimaux were put
on exhibition, SO to speak, in the muse
un building in Manhattan square. While
they were.5here they were subjected to a
careful examination under DIR. BoaZ, who
found out many things of chronological
interest.
There had been, as DR.. Boaz said, sew
eral Esquimaux in the country, and a
great deal had been written about them
by explorers, but the observations at the
N useum proved useful in corroborating
evidence gathered in exploration and from
observation of the Esquimaux at the Car
Isle Indian School, at New Bedford,
Mass, at the Worlds Fair at Chicago
and at other places where these people of
the Polar region had been temporarily.
While at the museum all of the Esqui-
nnaux, with the exception of Mini, the
little hoy, became i'll with what the doo-
tors thought Was grip, and Mr.. Wallace
moved the whole party up to his home in
Highbridge and gave them house away
from the DUST and bacilIi Of the city.
There they were put In charge of young
Esquimaux woman who had come here
from her home to the Worlds Fair and
had married and made up her mind to
stay here.
The Esquimaux improved at first, but
soon grew worse, and the sick ones were
sent to Bellevue Hospital, While they
were at the hospital Nooktah, little
Minis father, died, and later the woman
Ahweah, died at Highbridge. Little

to aid in carrying out his plan. DR.. Chan
proposes to enlist In the United States
regu lar army or to receive an appoint
nlent as surgeon. He will ask for au.
thor1ty to enlist party of about 200 OF
his fellow countrymen in San Francisco
and take them to the Philippines and do
missionary work among the Chinese resi-
dents OF that country. DR.. Chan says
that of the 5000, 900 of inhabitants in the
Philippines g. 600, 900 are Chinese. They
are taking no part in the insurrection
against the Spaniards, but were strongly
opposed to Spanish rule He says that the
Chinese in thu Philippines are almost on

If he can go over there he would infiu-
ence them in favor of putting the
island under our control and would
org anizs large army of Cinnamon to

and to become allies OF the army of

ence with Governor Bushnell and the War
Department at Washington in reference tc
his plan. The principal danger to the
doctors scheme is that somebody may
tell the Chinese in tho Philippines about
our drastic exclusion acts and the
numerous anti Chinese riots on the
Pacific coast. A little instruction on
those points might greatly disinchne
them to fight under the stars end stripes.

THE NEW TAXES.

The war revenue bill is now law, and
some provisions of it go into effect i'm
mediately. The measure gives the gov
ernment power to borrow $500, ,000, 900,
500, 600, 600 on certificates of Indebtedness
running not more than year bearing
three per cont interest, and S400. 600, 600
on coin bonds Reasonable in ten and pay
able in twenty years. The money derived
from the bond issue can be used only for
war purposes, but the proceeds of the GER
tificates may be used to make up any de-
fieiency in the revenue. AS it looks now
the money provided by these loans will be
much more than sufficient to meet the ex-
penses of tho war, though If 1t should
drag on through the year another loan
might be necessary. But the probability
now is that a very few months. If not
weeks, Will see the war ended.
70 meet the interest on these loans and
the ultimate payment of them, a great
variety of taxes have been imposed, many
of them of kind which we have been
unfamiliar with since the civil war. But
one change, we believe, is made in the
tariff, and that is the taking of tea from
cents pound upon it. The most of the
revenue will come from internal taxes,
among which the stamp tax is very prom
inent. This was selected probably be-
cause experience has shown that it is cas-.
lily collected and hard to evade. After

cy or hires house will have to
contribute something for carrying on
the war, and he will do 1t through
a stamp. Amusements of various
kinds come in for a pretty heavy con-
tribution, and people who travel in cars
will probably find the price of sleeping
berths raised to take care of the tax i'm.
posed upon them. The beer drinksr will
hereafter get less beer for his money, and

WITH THE MAINE BOYS.
Chaplain of the Maine Volunteers Writes
of Their Camp Life.

Rev. e. P. Estabrook, chaplain of the
Maine volunteers, has written to the Bid
deford Journal an interesting letter on
camp life ut Chickamauga. In the
course of the letter he pays this high COM
pliment to Col. Kendall, now in temporary
command Of the brigade:
1t may net be arniss for me to say that
anything which gratif1es Col Kendall is
doubly pleasing to all his subordinsteS
/ never cease to marvel at the devotion
which he inspires In all who are asso-
ciated with him. His wish is always law
among us, and If 1T ever comes 10 fight
ing, Col. Kendall needs but lead the way
and the First Maine will follow while
a man stands The regiment is fortunate
in having fallen into the hands of Lieut..
Col. Morton, who is @ graduate of West
Point Military academy, and is very
faithful and efficient officer. No detail
of discipline or camp sanitation escapes
his notice and fesling Of confidence In
lis ability and intention to look after
everyone's health and comfort pervades
the entire regiment.
Chaplain Estabrook took occasion In
his letter to urge the Biddeford girls to
write more frequently to the members
of the Biddeford company-a suggestion
that is doubtless not necessary Of the
Portland soldier boys Bis reference to
the yearning for more home letters was as
follows:
Having the mail in charge, want to
say word in my own behalf to the
girls Co. 6 left behind. 1t is simply lust
heart rending to see the fellows line up
and look while the mail Is being dis
tributed, and after 1t Is all given out and
not sign of letter remains they will
come to our table and stick their heads
into the empty mail bags and finally
ask us to look in our hats and pockets
and see If their particular letter has
not been in some way mislaid. So wish
the Biddeford girls would write often
and be sure to lick their own stamps.
Commenting on the alleged attempt of
the Kentuckians to 'string up' Ruby.
a Portland soldier, Chaplain Estabrook
wrote: -
1 presume you have heard of our expe-
rience with our neighbors Ewho attempted
to indulge that desire to chang q mig

region. They did not hang him. At the

Up in Highbridge, Mini is the idol OF
the Wallace family and he has all sorts
of good times with little Willie Wallace.
In all sorts of sports he is sure to be an
adept, for he is as strong as the average
boy three years older, and is as sturdy as
an Ok. He had some trouble in learning
to ride the bicycle and in playing base
bail, but he succeeded finally. It is In
hunting, however, that the little fellow s
native instincts serve him hest. Give him
n bow or small air gun and he will
wander in the woods for hours. He is
becoming acclimated in all senses OF the
word, even to having his hair clipped a
little shorter than he ever saw hair in his
own land. In his few months stay he
has learned enough OF the English tongue
to carry ON conv srsation with his friends.
