cHIcACO'S Big
ATHLETIC MEET

CHICAGO, June 4.--Despite the
rival attraction Of the Harlem Ma
tional handicap an immense crowd
of lovers of outdoor sports went out
to Marshall field today to witness
the athletic games OF the western
conference meet. for which several
hundred athletes have been training
for months past. The meet this year
Is mestern In fact as well as in name,
for the entries include representa-
tiyes of colleges as far west as the
Pacific coast.
The meet marks the first attempt
Of Leland Stanford. Jr.. university
to break into prominence in western
athletics. The university has sent
eight men to the meet. including such
we'll known athletes as Dole, who
holds the worlds pole vault record
Of IL feet Ia inches, and w. F..
Dunn. holder of the Pacific coast
record In the 440-yard dash. Other
colleges and universities represented
at the meet are the University of
Chicago, University Of Illinois, Pur-
due university. Indiana university.
State University Of Iowa. University
Of Michigan. University Of Mime
sofa. University Of wisconsin. North
western university. Beloit college.
Oberlin university. Lombard univer-
sity. Iowa State college. Iowa State
Normal school. Missouri university
and Drake university.
With nearly 400 crack athletes
among the competitors 1t Is to be ex-
pected that several records win go
by the board before the day is over.
Michigan is the logical favorite for
the championship, but at least three
other teams. Leland Stanford. Wis
consin and Chicago, must be taken
into consideration. 1t is conceded
that the dashes will go to either
Vic Rice OF Chicago or Archie Hahn
Of Michigan. Furber OF Wisconsin
is expected to carry of the honors
In the high jump. II he can repeat
his past performances.
How many points will be taken
away from Michigan by the smaller
schools is the question upon which
the championship depends. Purdue
and Wisconsin will make an attack
upon Michigan's long distance rum
ners. and Chicago is expected to fur
nish trouble In the sprints and
hurdles, In the hammer throw and
shot put Rose OF Michigan will have
formidable competitors in Rothgeb
of Illinois. Long and Bertke of Wis
consin and Parry and Maxwell of
Chicago. There has been no previ-
Gus opportunity to judge of the rela-
tive merits Of the Stanford men, but
the critics are of the opinion that the
team from the Pacific coast may con-
siderably upset Michigan's calcula-
tions on the championship.

the mighty Stats came up with his

never saw or heard of before. He
had things in great variety and he
certainly did 90 the limit with all he
had.

pector named Erickson recently came
upon little valley between two
knells and in digging about for
signs he bumped into large, even
ly hewn rock upon which were some
almost erased letters and figures. His
curiosity being aroused he dug the
slab out OF the dirt covering
From what he read Of the lettering
he thought the slab had been a grave

pile of rocks lends credence to the
opinion.
Mr.. Erickson says the word
Clarke" can be family traced on the
face of the slab, cut in what have
at one time been rugged letters. while
some distance above is a fragment
of the letter IL" and a part of a
date. This fact leaves little doubt
but that the stone is a relic of the
Lewis and Clarke expedition.
1t is supposed by Mr.. Erickson that
the slab was erected to mark the
place of burial Of one Of the Lewis
and Clarke party. He has brought
the matter to the attention of the
st. Louis fair commission, and the
monument will probably be placed on
exhibition at the fair.

LONDON, Feb. 25.-In the absence
of further definite details regarding
the naval engagements of Tuesday it
is believed by experts here that fol-
lowing the daring attempt of the
japanese to blockade the entrance to
Port Arthur. Russian cruisers prob
ably came out a short distance to
reconnoiter. The Japanese then fired
at long range and the Russians re-
treated back into the harbor. This
is in a measure confirmed by private
advices.
The advices received here from St.
Petersburg indicate that the japanese
loss consisted of only four steamers,
with which they were attempting to
block the harbor. The torpedo boats
and destroyers which Joined in the
attack seemed to have escaped after
the steamers were sunk. No Japanese
battleships or cruisers seem to have
been even damaged in the fight.
This is considered no great loss
to the japanese, as they evidently
expected to lose the steamers. They
failed, however, in accomplishing
the object of the attack. that of
bottling the Russians up in the har-
Dor and attacking them under cover
of the burning steamers.
The steamers were filled with in
fiamable material and it is supposed
that it was expected that they would
explode and do damage to the Russian
vessels.

MANY GREAT CHANGES IN JAPAN

tural class, the laborng class and the
merchants.
The first class included the feudal
lords, court nobility and the knights
OF the feudal lords. They were per-
mitted TO carry two swords, were
exempt from taxation and were the
educated and literary class. The other
classes were kept in subsection and
taxed heavily.
Today there are three classes-the
nobility, gentry and common people.
The nobility was created in 1884 and
comprises FIVE orders-prince, mar
'quis, count, viscount and baron. The
gentry are descendants of the samurai
OF the old first class.
The common people include the rest
of the population. In 1900 the nobility
numbered ASH, the gentry 2,lO5, 8es
and the common people Al ,653, 900.
Reverent obedience to superiors is
the fundamental principle of Japanese
society, The language is filed with
Difference. The other person is always
intelligent, wise, clean and beautiful,
While the first person is humble, in

ordinary salutation is an obeisanee,
consisting of a profound bow. In the
house salutation consists of bowling

Some claim the japanese are descen-
dants of Malays, and say the emperor
is of a striking Malay type.
Two distinct types of japanese are
found-the oval-faced, narrow-eyed,
small, aristocratis class, and the full
faced. flat-nosed, stout, common people.
The latter show Malay origin, it is
claimed. The average American or
European, is small, having long
trunk and short legs. The average
height of male Japs is about the same
as the average height of European
women. He is "veritable diamond

The japanese are quick to learn.
Their minds are strong in observation
perception and memory, but weak in
logic and abstraction. They have we'll
trained power of observation, and
their minds are veritable storehouses
Of information.
The typical Jap is loyal, filial, re-

generous. His besetting sin is decep-

are predominant, Buddhism and Com

has made the greatest inroads.

temporary victory injure their pros
poets for still better things in the
future has led parties closely identi-
fed with Senator Turner and d. c.
Corbin in their railroad project to
make the above statement to mem-
bers Of the shippers association.
This long hoped for information
has come in the last two days not to
one person. but to several, and always
in substantially the same form.
First Definite information.
Because Of the fight being waged
by local shippers for better freight
rates the public now obtains the first
reliable information regarding the
plans of the Canadian Pacific railroad
and the connecting road of Senator
Turner and Mr.. Corbin.
Corbin Raising Funds.
1t is now stated on reliable author
ity that d. C. Corbin, whose name
has long been connected locally with
this new move of the Canadian Pa
cific, is in the east at this time max
ing arrangements to finance the road.
Senator Turner left for the east q
few days ago. ostensibly to try q
case before the supreme court. It
was stated at the time he left that
he would be gone for a month or two.
1t is now learned that after his busi-
ness is completed in Washington city.
he will Join Mr.. Corbin in New York
and together they will push financial
for the new line from
Spokane through the Kootenai coun-
try of northern Idaho to a British
Columbia connection with the Cana
dian Pacific.
For many years Spokane merchants
and jobbers have looked with longing
eyes toward the Independent Canadian
Pacific road. which it is believed will
give Spokane merchants the hong
hoped for rates whenever it secures q
