Shooting for Bars.

The annual shoot for bars which has
been occupying Honolulu National
Guardsmen for two weeks past at the
Kakaako rife range win close tomor-
row. The targets have been kept hot
for the two weeks OF the shoot. for af-
ternoon and morning soldiers were
there in squads and companies. Over
one hundred and twenty-five of the
guardsmen in Honolulu participated in
the practice this year and the shooting
has been close and interesting. AS
many as seventy men were waiting
their turn at times. and the interest
this year has been greater than ever
before. the reason for which can prob
ably be found I'm the fact that this is
the first competition shoot held for
some time. No shoot was held at all
in 1901. so this is really the first test
for two years of the prowess of the
guardsmen with the rifle.
The competition has been going on
now for nearly two weeks, the COM
manders of the various companies taxi
ing regular turns as range officers.
Lieutenant L. L. Berndt was in charge
June 10th and also one week later. the
officers each taking two or four days.
Captain Klemme was range officer June
18th and 23rd; Lieutenant ]. N kipa
the 18th and 25th and 10Th and 26th;
Captain Klemme again on the goth and
9th: Captain Boyer on the 21st. and
he will again be In charge today. Lieu
tenant Berndt was in charge on the
22nd, and Captain E. II. Boyen on the
2Srd.
Some excellent scores have already
been made. but nothing definite can
be given out until after the close of the
shoot. Captain Samuel Johnson of
Company F has made the best individ-
ual score so far. making forty seven
out of a possible fifty He is the only
man SO far to receive a gold bar at
this contest. though good many of
the sharpshooters expect to make the
required forty-five points today or to-
morrow. A good many of them have
already won silver and bronze bars,
but it is the gold they are after this
time. and quite a few will be added to
the list Saturday or Sunday. Spring
field rifles have been used almost en-
tirely in the shooting and the men are
much pleased with the new rifles they
recently received from the War De-
partment at Washington. The shoot
ing closes tomorrow afternoon at five
o'clock.

Baseball Making.

The process of making basebalis on a
wholesale plan is rather interesting
one, consuming in single season some
thing like 5000 skins. The scrappings
from the shoe factories, of which the
raw balls are nodded are stored in
cellars of about one acre each, and
from this material the balls are shaped
is bound by a few or several dozen
rounds of cord. The raw balls are
placed in automatic molGs, shaping the
ball, and at the same time pressing out
all moisture. to the tune of 800 gross a
day. One employee will shape as many
as 1000 of the raw balls in a single
working day.
The newly pressed balls are then sort
ed and allowed to dry out for period
of from three to four weeks, when their
weight is reduced TO perhaps five

REPLACED BY AMERICANS.
Action of the Rosebery of the German
 Turf

Berlin, May 6.-Herr Bleichroeder, the Rosebery of the German turf, has discharged every German who has any thing to do with his racing stables and from trainer to stable boys he has re- placed them with Americans, among whom are several colored men. Herr Bleichroeder has told his turf acquaint- ances he was convinced Americans knew how to get the best out of racing horses and that he intended to employ no other nationality in his stable. Herr Bleichroeder is prominent banker.
 Only two American jockeys are con- tinuously engaged on the German turf, these are Eddie Ross, who is retained by Herr Bleichroeder, and Nate Hill, who is retained by Herr Weinberg of Frankfort. Ross and Hill have started the season so successfully however, that no matter what kind of a horse they ride this horse is immediate ly marked as a favorite.

NO COLORED WOMEN'S CLUBS.
National Federation Takes Final Vote
 Against Their Admission.

Los Angeles, Cal, May 6--To day may be chronicled as the day when Massachusetts club women saw the plans for which they have been fight ing for two years go down before the vote of the National Federation The final defeat was given to the proposal for the admission of colored women's clubs, the effort to down the individual club as step toward reorganza tion through state federations only failed, and the plan to reduce the per capita tax from ten to five cents was showed under. The dispatch with which the three issues were defeated, in the midst of intense excitement on both sides, was a matter of surprise even to the dele gates who aided in the result There is no element of bitterness in the defeat and the union of the south and the north, as far as the womens clubs are concerned, promises to stay connected for some time.

MR. STR4US EXPLAINS.
A Wrong Impression Concerning the
 Miners Demands.

New York, May 6.--Oscar S. Straus, vice chairman of the National Civic Federation and member of the spe- cial committee on conciliation and ar bitration, said to-day to the Associated
 Press that but for the good offices of the Civic Federation and the co-opera-
 ton of the labor leaders of that com
 mittee the coal strike would have been declared shortly after the meeting held
 by the coal miners at Shamokin, six weeks ago. The conciliation committee succeeded in bringing about the two conferences that have since been held between the presidents of the four roads on the one side and President Mitchell and his committee on the other.
 MT Straus added that the public is entitled to know that the question at issue had nothing to do with the rec ognition of the union The miners rep resented by Mitchell asked for an in- crease in pay per ton and fixed wage schedule and that the coal be weighed at the mouth of the mine, so that the net weight of the ton for which they were paid should more nearly approach the ton of commerce. All of these mat ters were discussed al the various meet ines in apparent spirit of mutual con- sderation The operators. however, absolutely declined to make any con- cession upon any of these points.
 Mr. Straus, upon being asked whether he thought a strike would take place, answered that he felt that the refusal of the operators thus far to make any concession and returning an absolute mo" to Mir Mitchell and his colleagues would, in his opinion, not only lead to a strike, but to a most determined one one, he feared, that would extend be- yond the anthracite coal regions.
 MT Straus said his Investigation of the subject indicated that this strike would effect probably a tie-up of one, if not two, of the railroads running into that region, besides causing cooper ating strike in the bituminous regions, with their 300O workers.
 Upon being asked wither in his opfn- ion. there was yet any possibility of averting the strike, MT. Straus said not unless some reasonable concessions are made 10 the miners demands or unless both sides should consent to leave the whole matter to competent arbitration The Civic Federation has up to the present time exhausted it's good offices; 1t has used it's best endeavors towards

Rages for Almost Four Hours on the
 Philippine situation.

Washington, May 6.-For almost four hours to-day a fiery discussion of the Philippine situation ra ged in the senate. It was started by MT. Beveridge, of In- diana who made some sharp strictures on the members of the opposition, be- cause, as he said they persisted in tell ing in their speeches only one side of the story
 While he admitted that some out rages had been committed by American soldiers in the Philippines, MT Bever- idge said it was true, too, that unparal- lelled kindness had been shown by the American troops to Filipino prisoners and Filipino wounded. Food and medi- cine, he said, had been shared with them, and they had been succored on the battlefield and cared for tenderly in the hospital. While saying that the omission to tell this side of the story by the democrats was unintentional, he suggested that it was unfair to make an aIraisnment of the American soldier and not tell both sides.
 MT. Carmack and MT Rawlins warm ly resented any imputation of unfair ness. MT. Rawlins declared that no partisan motives had actuated the op- ponents of the present Philippine policy, but that they were moved only by pa triotism and love of country.
 MT. Turner, of Washington, delivered a scathing criticism of the methods practiced by the military authorities in the Philippines, dwelling particularly upon the alleged order of General Smith, whom he denounced as mon ster in human form. He urged the Philippine committee to turn all the
