CONTRACT
The Veteran VIII NOT Manage
or Play on Providence Team
tho Coming Season.

Pres. Cressy Of the Providence Base
ball club received letter from Bill,
shindle this morning in which he returns
the check for 500 advance money given
him last Sunday at Philadelphia, notifies
President Cressy that he cannot come to
Providence and that he has returned the
contract
Shindle's price was accepted by Presi-
dent Cressy and the latter came home
well satisfied with the situation. Presl-
dent Cressy had an interview with Presi-
dent Powers OF the league this morning
who advised that nothing be done about
filling the vacancy for a couple OF weeks
as by that time IL Is probable that the
big league teams will unload one or two
surplus players. and by the middle or
April there will be n lot OF fast youngs-
ters upon the market.
Mr.. Shlndle stated In bis letter that al
ter due consideration and trying 10 ar
range his business affairs at Gloucester
city. he found that IL would be impossi-
bic for him to accept the management or
the club and do justice to himself and the
club.
He stated that ne had thought over the
matter well and was compelled most re-
luctantly 10 give up the project. He hoped
he had not incommoded President Cressy
I'm any way and wished the club every
success.
In the meantime. however, the club's
roster has been considerably augmented
and now contains number OF good
names.

The expected has already happened
in the District Court where an incident
occurred yesterday which even Judge
Davis's organ, the Bulletin, cannot pal

Defendant was asked to plead, but
Straus objected, wishing to read the
complaint. He asked for a continu-

defendants first appearance under the
present complaint, which had just been

against which he might wish to offer
technical objections.

The JAPANESE VIEW.

It is interesting to note, in the ORR
entail files, what the vernacular press
of Japan is saying about affairs with
Russia. Under this head the visit of
General Kuropatkin has supplied it
with text which it was not backward
in developing.
The Jill Shimpo has no doubt that the
Minister'S visit will furnish him expert
ences useful in determining his govern
ment's policy. 1t draws his attention
to the fact that japan is now a con-
additionally ruled country like certain
European States. What the people at
large desire finds expression in the pro-
gram of the government. That Is
illustrated by the Anglo-Japanese ALI
ance. The alliance had long been
among the nations wishes though con-
Ssummaeed only last year. 1t is not pos
Slrlc for Japanese statesmen to ignore
tk>AGeople's will. Thus, when in 6efer-
enceto the representations of Russia,
Germany and France, the Liaotung
Peninsula was given up, the Japanese
nation, while appreciating the difficult
position in which their Ministry tound
itself, did not withhold its condemna-
ton and even went to,the length of i'm

sia's circumstances are very different.
Her occupation of Manchuria is a tenn
porary business, and in evacuating it..
according to her promise, she would
not have to fear any arraignment ct
the bar of public opinion. In fact. her
statesmen are not fettered in their acts
as are the statesmen of Japan. If Ger
eral Kuropatkin imagines THAI the
views of a section of Japanese politi-
clans, however influential they NAV
be. represent the views of the japanese
nation, he will fall into a serious blum

THE POLICY OF MEDDuING.

The American. like the English pub
lie, has never yet learned to mind its
own business. 1t is forever meddIing
with the purely domestic affairs of for
eign countries Does the Sultan take
summary measures against Armenian
outlaws for disturbing the peace?
Then at once the American and En-
gIish public dubs these half-savages
christians" and sends memorials and
protests which the Sultan properly
thrusts into his waste-basket. For
years the American public did what it
could to break up the political union
between England and Ireland. just as
the English public, in times past, had
striven to dissolve the union between
the sections of the United States. !
These were examples of officiousness by |
no means rare. Take, for instance, the |
causes of the Spanish war. Thsy began
in sentimental crusade, egged on by
yellow journals, against the admins
tration of Spain in Cuba More false
hoods were told about Spanish misrule
there than their authors ever can atone
for and they brought on a war which.
in it's indifference to the rights of SOW
ereignty and ownership in Cuba, was
as cold-blooded as any war in history.
How immensely batter off the United
States would have been if it had let
Cuba and the Philippines alone; how
little real call there was to interfere in
either place.
The pet aversion of the Anglo-Saxon ;
public is probably Russia Now Russia
Is a poorly civilized country, with scant
morals or humanity; but it has been
formally recognized as a power Of the :
first rank and it's rights guaranteed by e
treaty. Outsiders have no call to try
and change its prison system or its at r
fitude towards Jewish or Finnish or /
other subjects. That Is its own affair. I
That the Kitchener slaughter was de- I
plorable, all will agree. But so was q
the killing Of Italians in New Orleans
few years ago; so was the wholesale n
slaughter of Cinnamon in Montana; so a
are the recurring tragedies of the negro o
and the stake and the various water a
cures in the Philippines. We may ii
with the Firms. who are de- r.
prived OF their constitutional rights Il
and trust that the Firms will SYM b
pathize with ouc negroes. who are de- g
prived of theirs. But we should be n
greatly affronted If Russia, the master a.
Of the Films, should memorabilia us to p
give the negroes fair deal in the m
South. Imagine the outcry that would c
come from the very people who signed re
the Kitchener manifesto which, we il
trust, the President will not send for pl
ward. In
1t is as much a matter of propriety al
for nations as for individuals to attend a
to their own affairs and let other people &C
attend to theirs. An adherence to that tn
rule in international concerns would m
.ase friction, hinder wars and give each re
power more time to deal with the cry or
ing evils under it's own flag. 81
