a more conclusive argument in favor Of
the freedom of trade in Japan than the
progress that has been made under that

JOCKEYS EXPERIENCE.
Eddie Jones Tells of Peculiar Man
a.ement of Austrian Races.

Eddie Jones talked interestingly OF ms
experiences in Austria to San Fran
cisco reporter. He rode for Antoine
Diecher, wealthy brewer, who had a
stable of forty horses but is going to
ride in England next year where there
is mere money. A contract is now be-
ing drawn up with Tom Southall, for
whom he rode six races at Manchester
while on his way back to America.
Austria is no place for a Jockey IN
less he has a good contract with some
owner remarked Jones. ''Over there
they don't give you anything extra IL
you win, and there is very little chance
to dc, outside riding. Every stable mas
its jockey, SO if You have no contract
you are very much up against it. All
the American boys, Taral, Morgan and
Gray, besides myself, had regular en-
gagementS, and all made some money.
Jones stated that meetings OF three
weeks length were held at Vienna, Buda-
pest. Carlsbad and couple of 9th p.
places Sunday was the biggest day OF
the week, but there was no racing on
jockeys, trainers and horses came from
England, but the officials were mostly
natives-and such suspicious officials.
Whenever an American jockey is seen
to talk to anybody he is sent for and
asked to explain his conversation in de-
tail AS Eddie was constantly running
across Americans whom he was always
glad to see, he was frequently UP be-
fore the judges explaining that he was
only a friend from America In Aus
tria the tracks are straightaway and
grass, and the majority of races are run
over a distance of ground Eddie said
they used a gate very similar to the
Australian and no recall flag.
Until the American jockeys arrived they
lined up at the post and waited for one
another to get his horse straight and
all broke together In other words,
there was no jockeying to get the best

brought their horses on the jump and
sometimes scooted under the barrier be-
fore the others were ready, the natives
did not know what to make of it. Finally
they begged the Yankees to go up and
break with them, and they did, though
once in a while one of them would burst
away in front especially if they were
on a real good thing. Eddie said all the
betting was done in mutuals, and it was
heavy, and there were few prohibitive
favorites.

SLOAN WILL RIDE HERE.
Little Jockey Never Again to Try
English Courses


NEW YORK, Dec. 2S,-Tcd Sloan, ac-
knowledged to be the greatest of all
Jockeys, will be in the saddle again next
season, and he will do all his riding in
this country. Fever since the English
Jockey club refused to renew his license,
Tod has been idle, with the exception of
a few mounts in California He was told
that unless he could get license to ride
III England it would be a waste of time
for him to apply to the Jockey club here
for permission to ride. The rulings of the
English Jockey club are the law here,
because in England finding of the
American turf governing body has the
full effect of a PRONUNCIATION of the Eng
lish body
All the influence that Sloan could bring
to bear upon the English stewards fail
ed to secure reopening of his case, and
last year he did nothing except to fit
back and forth between this country and
Europe, shoot pigeons. try his hand as
an angel and bet a little on the races.
But when the season of 1902 opens in the
East Tod will be found in the saddle, and
he says that he will show the world that
his period of idleness did not take the
edge off his skill as a rider.
According TO the stories told in up
town sporting resorts, Sloan has been
assured that the ban will be taken off
him in England within a few weeks. It
is known that this assurance has reach
ed the Jockey club in this country for
Tod has been Informed that the moment
he is restored to good standing abroad
he can have a license to ride here. That
is just what Sloan is after for an en-
gagement which will yield him even
more money than Danny Maher will get
for riding for King Edward has been Of
fered to him.
Sloan has no idea of returning to Eng
land. He has had enough of the Eng
lish game. If he makes good on the
tracks of the metropolitan circuit he
will be satisfied. Unlike the majority of
jockeys Tod is Tot gaining in weight
as he grows older He is a man now,
and will never weigh much more than
he does today. He can ride as light as
any of the first-class boys in this coun-
try. He doeos not waste away in Turk
ish baths, and never finds it necessary
to take violent exercise.
It is understood that Sloan will sign
with the stable which seeks him, accept
ing a big sum for first call on his serv-
ices. As the stable is net large one,
he will be able to take any number Of
outside mounts. 1t is said that the Stale
to which he will attach himself will race
exclusively in the East, although a horse
may be sent to try for the Chicago Derby
In that event Tod will go on and give
the Westerners an exhibition of his skill
The influences which have brought
about the prospect of his restoration to
favor in England are unknown, but those
who have followed the case closely say
that the return of his license will be
made upon the express stipulation that
he will not attempt TO ride in England
next season. Tod was only too anxious
to enter into such an agreement, as he
is heartily sick Of the English game

COLONIES DON'T PAY
GERMANY, PERsIsTING IN POLICY
OF COLONIZATION RECEIVES
NO BENEFIT
ARE NOT SELF SUPPORTING
Some Interesting Figures and In
structive observations From
Consular Agent Harris
at EibenstOck.

WASHINGTON, Dec 29.-The state de-
partment has received from Unitca
States Consular Agent Harris, at Giben-
stock, an interesting report on the sub
ject of German colonial enterprises Mr..
Harris quotes from speech delivered
by DR.. Vosberg Rekow, director of the
German bureau for the preparation Gt
commercial treaties, before the mer-
chants of Leipzig. as follows:
1T is evident that we can never give
up our present policy relative to foreign
affairs, OR the strenuous efforts beng
made to become great sea power. we
must engage in colonial policies on a
large scale. We must strive to expand
our spheres of interest and to instiH in
our people the consciousness of the ne
cessity of an aggressive policy. 1t is only
by the annexation of territory beyond
the states, the development of our co:o-
MES, the, organization and direction of
emigration to the same, that we may
ever hope to be in a position to supply
those natural products which we are not
apIe to produce within the borders of
the home country"
Colonies Not SeIf-Supporting
Mr.. Harris points out that while the
territory comprised in all of the German
colonies abroad amounts to 2,557, COO
square miles, with a white population
OF 5,09S (only a little more than half
being German), not single one of
these colonies is self-supporting. The
total income of the colonies for 1900 from
tariff dues and the like amounted 10
$S,226,470, while the deficit, it is stated,
reached $6,9T7, 922
The ideal relations between a colony
and the mother country, says Mr.. Har-
ris, are those which permit the colony
70, no toll !, io1, a
mother country receives and pays back
in manufactured state; but, in accord
ance with an irresistible law of econo-
mics, a colony with great material re-
sources will emancipate itself gradually
from the mother country. at is doubt
full, however, continues Mr.. Harris,
whether this will shortly be true of any
of the present colonies of Germany
British Colonies Do Rest.
In almost every part of the world, It
is stated, where Germany's acquisitions
are situated there is in the immediate
neighborhood a colony of Great Britain
or of some other country which is better
able to produce colonial products.
Great Britain says Mr.. Harris.

submitted showing that Germany's
share in the exports of her own colonies
is only so per cent, while of all the prod

| MANILA, Dec. 29.-Referring- to the
work accomplished by the United States

months, while houses have been built

and appreciate what has been done and
the leaders were doing all they could
to bring the remaining FilipinOS to a

Gen. Chaffee, when questioned concern
ing alleged friction between the civil and
military authoritfs in the Philippine
archipelago, said that absolutely no such
friction exists and that perfect harmony
prevails between the two authorities. He
said that his relations with Gov. Taft,
Acting Gov. Wright and other commits
sioners were satisfactory and pleasant,
ard he thought that the published state
ment of friction between the civil and
military officials here must have re-
suited from misunderstanding of the
facts in the case.
Cen Chaffee further explained that
every time the slightest friction had
arisen in the provinces between the two
authorities he had invariably ordered the
military to surrender to the civil author

Mute. Yet ELOQUENT Appeal.

No where throughout the vast realm of
baseball, except in the infinitesimal frag-
ment allied to the trust combine by
personal or financial ties, can there be
found a sign of antagonism to the new
president A. G. Spalding, and his sup
porters within the old National league.
But if there be even shadow of pubic
doubt as to the justice of Mr.. Spaldlng
cause, or the wisdom of his seemingly
arbitrary course, it will be at once re-
moved by a re-perusal of this platform
laid down by the new president and IN
dorsed by the National league:
Ito promote, foster, elevate and per-
netuate the game of baseball, the nation
al field sport of America.

lures that may tend to degrade and de-
moralize the sport.
