PING PONG FOR PUGS.
Corbett Says It's Necessary During
Training.

New York. April 2s.-If all the prize
fighters follow Jim Corbett's ideas they
will soon be ping-pong experts. The ex-
champion introduced handball as
course in preparation for a bout.
and every knight of the canvass oored
arena adopted the method. Now comes
James J. with the ping-pong idea.
There is a motive for Corbett's adoo-
ton of it. He says that nothing is bet
ter for quickening the glance of the eye
than it. and that is why he has taken to
it. Then another benefit to be derived,
says Jim, is that it strengthens the wrist
He says he will introduce the game as
a feature of his training which he in
tends to go through this summer, in an
ticipation Of securing a match with JEFF
fries in the san-
He has already ordered two ping-pong
tables to be sent to Bayslde, L. /, where
he will train.
Corbett started right in to work the
way he die when last he met the cham
pion. An afternoon work in gymnasium
constitutes a days training for him now,
but the real hard course will begin
about next week.

FRANK THOMAS WINS.
Will Keep His Place ON Demo-

Saturday afternoon the Democratic
delegation to the Wichita state cOnven-
ton met to organize and to name a
state central committeeman. It was
rumored that a fight would be made OF
Frank Thomas, who wished to continue
as state committeeman.
The supposed fight did not develop
and Thomas won by a vote of IS to ..
of the delegation Mr.. Thomas intro
duced the following resolutions which
We're adopted:
Resolved, That we recognize in VIM.
A. Harris a distinguished, able and
faithful senator, and we commend him
especially for his service to the country
in compelling the Union Pacific Railway
company to discharge its obligations to
the government. His election to the SEN
ate was made possible only by the
united action of all the political ele-
ments opposed to the Republican PARTY,
therefore, be it
Resolved, That we favor his return to
the senate, and to that end the Demo-
cratic state convention should endorse
him for reelection.
Chief Justice Frank Doster has earn
ed the confidence of the people irrespec-
tive Of party by his able and upright
conduct in his high Office. We therefore
favor his nomination by the Democratic
state convention as one of the justices
of the supreme court (the Office Of chief
justice having been abolished.)
Also we favor the nomination for
other offices of men of approved ability
and character, whose past political affil-
iations, sympathies and conduct insure
united political action by all elements
opposed to Republican misrule."

LOOK MIRO ImMIeRATIoN POOL.
Santa Fe and Rock Island Are Both
Parties to It

Western passenger agents are greatly
excited by the news that the interstate
commerce comm issiOners would begin
an investigation of the immigrant bust
ness on May 2 at New York. The notice
came to Chairman Macleod of the
Western Passenger association, and re-
quested him to appear at the hearing
He communicated the announcement to
the passenger agents.
The immigrant bureau, or clearing
house, with headquarters in New York,
always has been held to be illegal. 1t
is in the nature of a pool, the immi-
grants arriving in New York and des-
tined to points in the west being dlvid-
ed among the various roads west of
Chicago and St Louis.
The roads parties to the agreement,
each being guaranteed 10 per cent Of
the business, are the Chicago, Burling-
ton & Quincy Chicago & Alton, Chit
cago. Rock Island & Pacific. Missouri
Pacific, Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fe,
Chicago & Northwestern. Chicago, Mil
Waukee & St Paul, Wabash, Union Pa
cific, and Illinois Central.
The bureau was organized in 1890 and
has served good purpose. Prior to its
formation immigrants were pOunced up
on after arrival at Castle Garden by
INSCRIPTIONS sOcalled immigrant steam
ship agents and deprived of nearly all
they possessed. To stop the practices Of
these sharks the western roads pooled
the business and employed agents in
New York to see the Immigrants safe
on their way.

Y. M. C. A. DAMAGED.
Fire Plays Havoc in Railroad
Branch.

Fire which broke out in the roof Of
the railroad z M. c. A building at the
corner OF Adams and Fourth streets
Saturday evening, reduced to honey
comb the covering of the structure and
because of the water required to
quench the flames much of the furni-
ture and equipment in the upper story
was greatly damaged. The extent OF
the loss is not known, the place having
been closed awaiting the arrival OF the
insurance adjusters. In its blanket
policy the Santa Fe has the building
insured for $4,000 and the contents Tor
81 900.
At 500 smoke was seen issuing from
the shingles about midway between the
ends and an alarm was at once sent
in. The shops department responded
first, and then the city companies ac-
peared working a half hour or more
before the PLACE was placed under con-
troll. The origin is unknown, though it
IS thought that a live wire was re-
sponsible for it; and it has been sug-
gested that a spark from a passing en-
CINE was dropped in the dry wood OF
the roof While the fremen were at
work much of the furniture, books and
other contents in the first floor We're
carried out to safety. However it was
impossible to get at the piano, tables,
carpets and other equipment upstairs,
and they were soaked by the streams
from the fire companies. Preparations
trated with a stereopticon, and so costly
slides were damaged.
"Au our announcements have been
cancelled said Secretary T. E. PrOut,
although the lecture by r. B. Reading
of the Baldwin locomotive works on the
working and handling of the COM
pound engine will be given Monday
evening at the Jefferson street mission.
The building will have to have
new roof and new ceiling, and a lot of
repainting must be done. We shall,
however, open temporary quarters in
the annex next door to the association
rooms, where we have two rooms on
the second floor. Our men may have
the privileges of membership in the city
association by showing their tickets"
There is no conjecture as to what will
be done toward providing the organi-
cation with permanent quarters. A
meeting of the board of directors has
been called for this evening at s O'Clock
at the home of Secretary Prout, SO
Madison street. Friends of the institu-
ton have hoped for a long time that
the Santa Fe would see fit to help the
association into a better home than it
has had and so far as is known the
officials of the road have shown a
friendly disposition in this respect
the old building will be repaired for the
present use. 1t has been contemplated
that new structure, modern in all
ways, would be erected near Second
and Hancock streets. The building
which was damaged by fire Saturday
evening was put up in the early days
OF the Santa Fe and was used for diff
ferent purposes until given over to the
z NJ c. A. several years ago. The as
| ISOLATION has a total membership of
about 500, and has far OutgrOWn the
| quarters which were assigned to 1t.

Install &c semanhora svaten.

Work has been commenced at Wich-
ita at the junction of the Rock Island
and Santa F'e tracks at Lincoln street
which will be used for the ssemaDhore''
system of tagging trains. This i'm
provement has been considered by the
two companies for several months. The
building will cost about So, 900 and when
the system is completed, trains on either
the Santa F'e or Rock Island tracks,
may pass without stopping
The semaphOre system is used great
deal in the east. Two men are neces-
sary to operate it, one for the day ser
vice and another for the night BY
a signal arrangement it is possible for
the ENGINEER on an approaching train
to tell whether the track is clear at a
distance of half a mile. The system is
so perfect that should two trains meet
at the crossing, the operator can pre-
vent an accident with but an instant's
notice It is thought the building will
be ready for service about the middle
of next month.

Unparalleled Success of Santa Fe and

Practical results have fully demon

there is plenty of traffic for both that
road and the Southern Pacific, and that
both would be benefited, says the Chi

c. p. Huntington a great number Of
changes have been effected in South

that Sl4 100000 viii be available for sur

TRUST HELD CRIMINAL.
Attorney General of New York Would
Imprison the Principals.

Albany, n. Y, April 2S.-The prosecu-
ton of the beef trust by the New York
state authorities will be criminal in
character. Attorney General Davies
made this clear calling attention to
the fact that the law which is claimed
to be in violation is the DonnelIy anti
monopoly act of 1889, which carries as a
penalty fine and imprisonment of en-
ployes as well as principals. The prose
cution to be instituted by the attorney
general of the United States will only
be along civil lines.
Attorney General Davies said today:
Il have secured additional evidence of
the existence of an alleged combination
to raise the price of beef. No matter
what the federal authorities do We shall
go ahead along our own lines and if the
evidence warrants we shall take sepa-
rate action"
