Rock Islands Position in Relation
to Western Association Re-
organization.
OTHER TOWNS ARE WAKING UP.

Indications That Meeting OF the Direc-
tors VIII BE Called In the Near Future
Town in Good shape for Continuing the
National Game-TaIk OF a New Central
League.
Action on the part of the Rock Isl
and Baseball association i timely
Just now. in view of the activity man
fest among other cities during the
past few weeks with reference to the
Reorganization of the Western associ-
alton. Rock Island was dropped from
the league once before because she
banked too strong on the honor OF
sister cities and arose to protest
against the outrage that was TO he
perpetrated on her when il was too
late. Present indications are that
meeting of the Western association
directors will be announced in the
near future. although President T. j.
Hickey, of St Joe, has not been heard
from on the subject for several weeks.
Rock Island should by all means he
represented if baseball is to continue
here the coming season. The local
association, of course. has not a great
deal of money to work on, but it is
safe TO predict that the admirers of
the game will put their shoulders TO
the wheel and see the officers through
in any expense that is incurred. The
town was never in better shape to
tackle the baseball proposition, having
park almost free OF incumbrance,
suits and all other paraphernalia that
goes to equip a club of players.

Japan's Gain.
~HAr little anair in the way of

~HAT little affair in the way OF
friendly Offices" for which
the government of Japan has
thanked the United states wasn't of
much account. The Hawaiians paid
seventy-fve thousand dollars to japan
to satisfy a demand that was of more
than doubtful merit. But Hawaii had
to show a free-and-clear title before
annexation could be contaminated. and
in order to expedite things the blood
money was paid.
This money is in satisfaction of
damages which Japan was alleged to
have suffered last year when its i'm
migrants were refused a landing at
Honolulu. Japan had been sending
students and free laborers to the
islands for the purpose. as the Ha-
waiian government feared. OF eventu-
ally making trouble in domestic poll
tics. There was no other reason why
they should have come. as Hawaii Of
fered no special facilities for students
that were not obtalnable in Japan at
less price, while the free labor market
was congested. An attempt was made
to stop the influx by obliging every
japanese immigrant to prove himself
possessed OF fifty dollars in gold. But
the scheme did not work.
As told by the San Francisco Chron-
icle. "a bank in Japan loaned each one
the money and got II back by return
mail. Their the Hawaiians set up the
cry of fraud and began sending these
filled cheese immigrants home. but
the Toxic abine interfered with
threats, demanded free entrance for its
people and claimed one hundred and
fifty thousand dollars indemnity" But
for the influence of the United States
Japan would probably have used force
in getting satisfaction.
At the time when the annexation
project reached a serious point, his
Japanese lain came up. Apparently
the authorities at Washington did not
believe that Japan's demand was just
but President Mckinley. realizing tn,
value of Japan's good will to thu
United States as respects the future o
the Philippines, persuaded the Dol
government to compromise for seventy
five thousand dollars. Japan was sat
isfied. and this country was freed from
a possible grave embarrassment. |
was cheap enough relief for Hawaii an,
the United States. and pretty nearly a
clear gain for Japan.

TO IL that the flag was kept flying there.
This comprehensive plan settled down
after a time to the suggestion that the
island of Luzon would be ~enough-iet
Spain have the rest of them, or any
body who wanted them.
According to all the recent reports
from Washington, the prevailing theory
there is hat IL will answer all this
country's purposes well to have a bit
of land, with harbor and coaling
facilities and with suitable adjacent
territory, at or lear Manila; that We
keep Manila itself is one of the latest
suggestions, and since the city has be-
come our own as the result of the re-
cent capture. that suggestion will prob
ably find wide favor.
Aguinaldo himself. about whom this
country has learned a little something
within sixty days. may presume to
have much to say. when the discus
sion of peace terms advances to the
point where the fate of the Philippines
is to be settled. He is a native of the
island Of Luzon and OF the now famous
province OF Cavite. He is not yet
thirty years old. His father was a
planter. but the plantation is the sub
ject of litigation. He is fairly well edu-
Gated. but the troubles that started in
the litigation over his fathers estate
have kept him in turmoil most of his
days and he had developed the traits
that fit a man for the guerrilla warfare
in which events have made him con.
spicuous.

Police Authorities Compel a Faro Bank

After a good long period of time dur-

The men who are behind the game
are Butte parties. and thev rough an

started in Monday night. but ran the
game only a few hours before they
were notified that they would have TO
stop or AXE the consequences. The
game was therefore stopped. On Tues
day night the gamblers opened up once
more. and IL is said they ran nearly all
night without the knowledge or the
officers. As soon as the latter received
an intimation that the game was again
going or, they made a most emphatic
demand that the game cease at once.
The gamblers apparently saw the fu-
