CHINA HAS A CLUB.
viii Demand Open Door For Men as
Well as GooGa.


Washington, Nov. 14-Whether Chin
csc exclusion should be applied to the
Philippines is among the subjects en-
gaging the attention of the Philippine
commission. Considerable evidence
bearing on the matter has been collect
ed and besides presenting this testi-
mOny with their full report it is expect
ed that recommendation will be made
which may have considerable influence
in shaping the course of this govern
ment and the action Of congress. It is
understood that two of the members
of the commission, Messrs. DENLY and
Worcester have expressed themselves
as favorable to an application of the
Chinese exclusion act to the Philip
pines.
From the fact that General Otis has
issued an order for Chinese exclusion
it is assumed that his voice, as a mem
Der of the commission also would be for
Chinese exclusion in the Philippines
ever, is understood to be favorable to
Chinese admission. While this personal
view of the admiral has been expressed
to friends, it is not known whether he
would give it official expression in case
all colleagues on the commission favor
ed recommendation of exclusion. The
attitude of President Schurman has not
been made known even in an informal
way.
The exclusion question is involved
to some extent with the inquiries which
the United States is now making of
other powers as to the maintenance of
an open door policy in China 1t was
stated today in an authoritative diplO-
matte quarter that in case the United
States adopted a permanent policy of
Chinese exclusion in the Philippines,
there was little doubt such a course
would cause China to be less friendly
in her cooperation with the plans OF
the United States to extend our trade
in the empire.

Jack Scales Says Corbett Is No Match
For Jeffries.


London, Nov. 14-Jack Scales who box
ed with Jeffries during his visit to Eng
land says;
THE most remarkable circumstance
connected with the fight between Jeffr1eS
and Sharkey is the fact that two heavy
move of boxing, able to deal heavy knock
out blows, should have fought twenty
five rounds before deciding who was the
better man. Only boxing men can appre-
ciate what twenty-five rounds under such
conditions means.
If 1 should prophesy, I should say
never again in the boxing history of the
world will so many rounds be fought
before a decision is reached by two
well matched heavy weights.
I had never doubt a to the winner
of the fight. Jefries is one of the most
remarkable fighters that ever appeared in
a ring.
"COrbett can't possibly defeat the man
who sent FitzsimmOns to his corner and
gave Sharkey his quietus Had I the
alternative of meeting COrbett or JeffrieS
for championship honors, I'd have no
hes1ta ton in fixing on COrbett.
''COrbett, predict can not stand up half
as long as Sharkey did against JeffrieS-
1 would be willing to back JeffrieS against
all corners for the next five years Fitz-
simmons Will always remain middle
weight champion. At 1853 pounds he can
not be beaten by any man breathing.
There Is absolutely no Eng1Shman,
present or on the horizon, who will give
the American champions much trouble
for many years to come. At any rate

CHICAGO Will GET 1T.
She Is in the Lead For the Next Re.
publican National Convention.

Milwaukee, Wis. Nov. 14.-Henry c.
Payne, national Republican commit
teeman of Wisconsin, gives it as his
opinion that Chicago will be the place
selected for holding the next national
Republican convention.
1T seems likely that Chicago will
be chosen as the place for holding the
national Republican convention" said
Mr.. Payne. 1t is the natural place for
the convention and probably has the
best chance for getting it. SO far as I
know Milwaukee is not a candidate; I
saw something in Chicago paper to
the effect that Milwaukee was trying
to get it, but it is too late for Milwau-
kee to enter the race; you see it is only
about three weeks before the time for
the meeting of the national committee.
I understand that Kansas City, St.
Louis, Denver and other cities are after
it, but Chicago perhaps has the ad-
vantage"

Something More About an Interesting

notice the mention made in your Fri

The Rev. w. F. Boyakin was a pioneer
Baptist minister Although seventeen
years younger he was a contemporary of
that missionary pioneer, the Rev John
Mason Peck, whsoe MEMOIRS may be
found in our city library. 1t will be re-
membered that the BaptistS were among
the earliest in the missionary fields Of
Missouri and Southern Illinois and among
these John NJ. Peck was the most notable.
He died in Illinois a few miles east Of
St. Louis in 1858, with the Rev. w. F.
BOyakin at his bedside. Perhaps it would
not be correct to say that he was Mr.
Peck's successor, although he was prom

Captain Arson has written a long letter

golden opportunity to go into the game,
as the public were sick of syndicate bail
and anxious to hail with delight the new

There are several parties here willing
to buy stock in the new organization, but
no leader comes to the front. Captain

in the new move, and some influential
people have already preached the subject
to him, but he will take no stand in the
matter at present
The directors of the Boston club deny
the story to the effect that they were af-
ter the Charles River park, claiming they
intend to stay at the South End grounds
for years to come.
It is well known that a few men we'll
up in politics have set wires to force the
Boston club to leave its present home.
These men are in with a big real estate
man who is after an option on the Charles
River park the only available grounds
with proper facilities for taking care of
the crowds.

was not after the Charles River park, as
the owners were anxious to let the park,
and 1t gave the new association a good
chance to get a franchise for the asking,
and a ground for the yearly rent, and a
ground that cost more than league parks
to fit up.

most favorable report upon the island
which has a native population of about
1000 persons, for whom some form of gov

BIGGEST TRANSACTIONS FO

Generally Ascribed to the Money Set

of Foreign Capital.

The Stock Exchange has not shown
such activity for months as it display
ed today. Sales amounting to nearly
$4,000 were made within few minutes.
The whole list of stocks felt the activity.
The reason generally aScribed for this
activity was the news received by the
Coptic of the completion of the Homo
kaa deal. This deal was initiated by
Edward POLITE of the firm of f. POLITE
q Co. Through f.. c. Macfarlane he Sc
cured an option on 10000 shares of Ho-
nokaa stock at $2S.5O a share on condi-
ton that he should list it in San Fran
cisco and place it at $35 a share. The
option was secured from big holders of
Honokaa who We're asked to give
options on one fourth of their holdings.
Between the time the movement to get
the stock was begun and the time it
was all secured there was a very great
change in conditions. The banks i'm
the States very materially shortened
their accommodations particularly for
speculative transactions and there was
general downward tendency i'm stocks
PollitZ ability to carry out his program
under these conditions was doubted and
it was expected that he would ask
either an extension of time or some
modification of the option. He did
neither, however, but in one day placed
the whole $1,000 shares i'm San Francisco
New York and Europe, thus introdu-
cling Hawaiian sugar stocks into these
markets. Honokaa is considered one
of the first class stocks. The land is
