stitution and their obligations to the
other clubs.
The resolution adopted at the an,
nual meeting of the league at Spring
field last fall ousting Rockford and
substituting Peoria. recited the sec
tons of the constitution of the league
which were unaltered by the resolu-
ton adopted at ST Louis, and resolved
| that for business reasons-the unsatis-
factory relations of the Rockford club
n the way of financial returns to the
| league-its franchise be terminated,
| and the treasurer was instructed to re-
turn 10 that club one-eighth of all the
money in the league treasury. This
requirement TO the extent Of some
of 500 was complied with.
Rockford Begins Suit.
Thereupon Rockford began proceed
ings in court against the league in the
form of an application for an injunc-
ton restraining the league from termin-
ating its membership on the ground
that under the st. Louis resolution it
had 3-year contract with the
league which had not yet terminated.
The league entered q demurrer on the
theory that the St. Louis resolution did
not set aside or even amend the con-
stitution. as its provisions strictly pro-
vided that every club bound by the
3-year contract should abide strict
ly by the letter of the constitution,
which gave the league license by a
vote Of the majority of the clubs to
terminate the membership of any club
when it might be deemed proper for
business reasons. And there were bus
mess reasons in the case of Rockford
Owing to Mr.. Sections asso-
citation with the league and
the fact of his authorship of the
constitution, as well as the various
resolutions which it has been the aim
of Rockford to show We're in conflict
with the constitution, he has been the
brunt of all kinds Of illusions compli-
mentary and otherwise from the press
of that city, and now that a victory
has been won. in which no man has
greater license than he to rejoice. he
will probably catch his breath long
enough TO beam upon the fans of that |
city one Of those peculiar smiles of !
his.
In the meantime he is receiving con- |
gratulations by telegraph from all over
the league.
Mcconnell at Hot Springs.
Jack Mcconnell. manager of the |
Rock Island team. has been forwarded |
his uniform TO his home in Missouri. |
and next Monday he leaves for Hot
Springs TO work for three weeks with |
the Pittsburg Nationals. who will train
at that resort. Mcconnell writes that
he expects to be in the pink of condi-4
ion when he reports for duty in RocI
Island. He goes to Hot Springs with
out expense to the local association.
Tenn VIII Practice at Home.
The Rock Island team will not train
at Iowa City with the university team
his spring, as it has done in years
Iast. This change in plans is due to
he fact that the university this year
will not have a team available for
raining purposes. The Rock Island
players will practice at home. and
iates for exhibition games are now
Jeing arranged

Word comes from Nome that Mayor King is seriously ill, it having been necessary for him to undergo an opera tion. It is belived he will recover. An unusually cold snap is prevailing and high winds are Glowing. It is death to be abroad.
 Bishop Rowe, known and loved by the miners of Alaska from Icy straits to Point Barrow, and whose peregrina- tions are likely to fetch him up in the remotest mining camp of the north land at the most unexpected time, was iourneying down the Yukon by dog team last winter. For days the trail had been very heavy; the Bishop and his dogs were almost exhausted, when they approached the mouth of the Panama and met tired looking "mush- er," a stranger, from up the latter stream. Having 400 miles of the Tana- ma to traverse, and following custom of the trail, the Bishop asked the "musher" about the condition of the trail he had just come over. The "mush- CT" broke out: "Pardner, she's the blankest, blank, blank trail man ever travelled over. I've been in this blank, bIankety, blank, blank country five years and never saw such a blank, blankety, blank, blank trail. How is she up the Yukon?" Just the same; just the same," answered the Bishop as he cracked his whip over the tired dogs and took his way up the Panama. -EX.
 The great potlatch, given by the four chiefs of Sitka, Annihootz, Bon-a-hayn, Wis-ke-lah and Yah-kwan, known to the white people as Jackson, Bean, Paddy and Davis, and which has just come to close after five weeks of feasting and iollifcation, will mark the termination forever of an ancient h. dian custom in this section of Alaska, if the edict the big chiefs sent forth shall be obeyed. After the last feast and the last dance of the great pot latch and the last vestige, of the say ings of the big chiefs had been distrib- uted among the natives of the different tribes of their countrymen, the four chiefs. with George Shortridge and Chilkoot Jack, of the Chilkats, and other high-class Indians, gathered there in secret concIave, aud to the others Annihootz made a speech, enjoining tbat in the future there be no more potlatches, no more tribal dances, no more feasting, and that hereafter the Indians abstain from further observ- ance of the customs and traditions of their race, but that they accept the re- ligion of Christianity and follow the precepts of the Nazerine and the cus- toms of their white brethren. The other chiefs including the Chilkats acquiesced. Such is the story brought from Sitka by Chilkoot Jack, who re- turned from the ancient capital of Alaska, on the Georgia. All the Chil kats, Hoonahs, KilIsnoos and Yaku- tats have left Sitka, except George Shortridge, chief of the Chilkats, who remains there for while longer Chil- koot Jack returns a richer man than when he left. He was given S270 in money, 100 blankets and 10 large boxes of provisions, by the generous chiefs who gave the potlatch, besides seven coaloil cans filled with eulachon oil.- Skagway Alaskan.

Arrangements are now being made through the Newfoundland government for the conveyance of British and Am erican astronomical expeditions to Labrador and Hudson's bay next sum- mer for the purpose of observing the total eclipse of the sun of August 30 1905. The matter has been arranged in advance for the coast is now blockaded with ice and will not be free until July, leaving only few weeks in which to transport the parties to the far North ern region and enable them to install all the observations points selected, with their telescopes and other instru- ments. The eclipse can be observed most advantageously in Labrador be- cause the period of eclipse will last longer there Ca little over two minutes) than any other place on this continent.
 Recent United States consular re- ports have the following to say con- corning trade conditions in the Yukon: Tine total trade of the Yukon territory for the calendar year 1904, as shown by the customs returns at the ports of Dawson and Whitehorse, amounted to SIP. .5O9, ,804, the imports being valued at s1 .698, ,883. and the exports at 510,8ll,2ll. Of the exports, SlO,324,72O represents gold dust and but S486, ,49l merchandise Exports to the value of SlO6O3,55l were invoiced through this consulate for the United States and Alaska, made up as follows: American goods, 5l84,- G84; American gold dust, 8l20,G56; to- tai American exports, S305,340; Cana dian goods, s9l,147; Canadian gold dust, 5lO2O4O6l; total Canadian eX- ports, S1O,208,9l1 With the exception of the gold dust, which went to the assay offices at Seattle and San Fran cisco, all the American and Canadian goods were shipped down the river to Eagle, Fairbanks and other towns in Alaska on the Yukon river.
 The Alaska Penal code provides:- "that a person is not competent to act as a juror who has been convicted of a felony. nor unless he is a citizen of the United States" When the District court convened at Rampant, Jdly 21, 1903, Judge Wickersham ordered a spec iaI venire to issue for trial jurors. Deputy Marshal George Dreibelbis, in summoning these jurors, subpoenaed a young Canadian citizen, who for two months prior had been in the employ of Judge Wickersham, as a guide on pleasure trip to Mt. Mckinley. Being called into the jury and asked if he was a citizen of the United States, the guide answered ''No." Council then challenged the juror on the grounds of his being a non citizen. Judge Wicker sham then requested his guide to stand aside, but would not excuse him from further attendance as a trial juror. This non citizens name remained on the jury pay roll to the end of the ses- sion, when about S1oO was paid to him from the government treasury, for ser vices which he could not render. This merely shows the illegal means resort ed to for the purpose of grafting pal
 try amount of the peoples money. There is in existence abundance of evil dence to show just how these corrupt officials have footed the treasury of as many thousands.-Rampart Forum.
