CLAPP AWAY
His Pleasure Trip to Florida
Placed Nelson on the
Anxious Seat.

From The Journal Bnrea~, Room IS, Pos,
B"tEaan1, Washington.
Washington, April 2.-Senator Clapp has
been subjected so some criticism in
Washington of late because Of his absence
when the Indian appropriation bill and the
Morris bill were before the senate COM
mittee for final action. If it had not
been for the voluntary kindness of Sena-
tor Quarles of Wisconsin, also a member
OF the committee. these two bills might
have had hard sledding Mr. Quarles
took hold in the absence of Clapp, out of
regard for Senator Nelson, and both bills
came through all right.
But Nelson was on the anxious seat for
several days. When the session opened,
Nelson was made member of the COM
mittee on committees, which provided
places for new senator's and looked after
reasslgnHents for old senators. 1t was
Nelson's especial aim to have Clapp made
member Of the Indian committee, for it
was known that many matters of great
Importance to the Indians Of the state
were to come up, and Clapp's long service
as attorney general was supposed to have
fitted him for the intelligent handling Of
them. According to Nelson's plan, Clapp
went on the Indian committee, and then
Nelson loaded himself to the guards with
other work, the most Of it in connection
with the committee on commerce. He
was doing half a dozen mems work, al
most, when the word came that Senator
Clapp had gone off to Florida for a
pleasure trip Of several weeks.
While I do not quote Senator Nelson,
il is well known in the delegation that
he was greatly embarrassed by this
absence, and did not get his own and
IClapp's work in hand for several days,
and then only through the kindly aid Of
other members.

The publication of his report Is almost

Colonel Chamberlain found corruption

Japan, and his two sons The eminent

rest OF his party are at the Ryan. The
count expects to leave st. Paul on his
way east tomorrow. F. B. Clarke, gen

ern is looking after the comfort of Count
Matsukata and his party while in St,
Paul.
T. Like Count Ito, who Visited the north
west some months ago, Count Matsukata
is here to learn what he can of American
methods as typifying the most advanced
stage of what Japanese statesmen term
western civilization. Count Ito's English
was bad Count Matsukatas is even
worse. In fact most conversation with
him must be carried on with the aid of
an interpreter.
Count Matsukata Masayoshi is larger in
stature than Ito He is bigger in frame
than the average Japanese coming to
American shores. He looks the states

give evidence OF years and his general
demeanor and facial expression suggest

count Matsukata was willing to talk for a

ding and wedding breakfast but an hour
or two ahead. The count has much in the
way of compliment for America. He is
impressed with its wonderful possibili-
ties and resources. He is much interest
ed in this section on account of it's pro-
duction of grain and grain products. The
friendship OF the United States Is desired
by Japan. The count hopes for and ex-
poets a big increase in Japan's exports to
the United States. and says that Japan.
ambitious to grow industrially, will in
crease its purchases here. Japan is
pleased with the gold standard, and the
governments policy is to make the
improvements from its regular revenue
instead Of borrowing from other countries.

the senator or to express his views, it

not appealed to him in any way. But
Senator Nelson is an influential member

word that had been passed around that
there was no chance that the bill could
get up in the house. On the theory hero

games that were played years ago as
s'revolutionizers" and are now scarce
ly ever resurrected except as illustra-
tions of the possibilities Of the game.
Take any table and draw chalk
line through the center lengthwise.
Draw three other lines across the
diamonds and the green surface will
be divided into eight spaces. On a
5x10 table these spaces will measure
% inches. At the points where the
lines touch the rail there are eight
anchors, each 3x6 inches. Rules gov
erning this game are about the same
as those governing 14-inch balk line,
except that at least one object ball
must be driven out of its space on
every second counting play.
The game may be played with four
balls, but even beginners are adjured
to use three balls. In many respects
the object of this style of game is no
different from Mr.. Rawson's eight
inch balk line game in which the
shooter loses his turn, although he
counts what he made, if two object
balls roll into the same balk line
space. The contention made for the
eight-space balk line game is that it
will tend to bring into the same class
about 100 balk line experts whereas
under the terms of ordinary balk
line, but few professionals are in
the same class and a very small num-
Der of amateurs have any right to
contest for Class A. championship.
The eight-space game is open to
the objection. that it complexities play
for the spectator. For years the adj
herents of championships have cried
for simplified play SO that larger
throngs will appreciate the execution
of the players.
