Toxic Disorders Did Not Re-
fleet National Sentiment.
THE OFFICIAL ADVICES
PUBLISHED REPORTS WERE
MUCH EXAGGERATED.
Not the Slightest Hostility to Ameri-
cans Was Shown, According to Mr..
Hioki Of japanese Legation.

An official report concerning the recent
by the Japanese legation. 1t appears from
this that the reports published in this coun-
try were greatly exaggerated and mislead-
ing and that the menaces to Mr.. Hartman
and party and the destruction of the mis-
sion properties are in no sense attribut-
to a feeling of hostility toward Americans.
National Sentiment Not Reflected.
Mr. Hioki, charge daffares of Japan,
said today:
MY advices from Toxic do not attempt
to minimize the Importance of affairs as
they existed. The condition was regarded
deplorable by the government as well
by the people. 1t gave a painful sur
prise to the Japanese. however. to see that
the action of riotous mob joined by the
worst elements of the city into which de-
generated an intended orderly political
meeting, should be regarded in foreign
tional sentiment
The immediate pr0yocation of the riOtOus
outbreak was the action Of the police who
sought to prevent a political mass meeting
and not in the slightest feeling of hostility
toward foreigners in general or Ameri-
cans in particular, entered into the spirit OF
the mob.
THE action Of the police in forbidding
the holding of the mass meeting infuriated
the crowd and the destruction of property
followed. but / can positively state that
the question OF nationality of the owners
of the property had nothing to do with this
vandalism

No Injury to Foreigners.

mo personal injury was done to foreign
ers member of Mr.. Harriman's party
who drove through the excited mob was
but technically assaulted, and was in no
way injured or even hustled or threatened.
OF course. there are many Japenese who
are disappointed over the terms of the
peace treaty, and 1t Is natural that they
should express their disappointment, but
the majority OF the thinking classApf my
country deprecate the riotous acti3h and
regret the injurious impression crea4ed by
those disturbances which apparently led
some people to regard them as an indica-
ton of feeling of hostility on the part OF
Japan toward the United States. 1 am au-
thorized to state that Notwithstanding what
differences of opinion may exist in Japan
over the terms of peace, there is a strong,
united and friendly feeling toward the
United States and a deep appreciation OF
the earnest, impartial and sincere goodwill
which has attended the efforts of Presi-
dent Roosevelt"

THE DIAMOND.
BILLY LUSH
 AT WORK
He Has Many Candidates in The Yale Cage-Cossip and Stories About the Game and Players.

Billy Lush has forty-seyen collegians working out at Yale. The professional baseball coaches at Yale have been John G. Clarkson, Charley Nichols, Charley Hickman and Tot Murphy, but none of them ever began work as Mir Lush does. All except Dr Murphy were with the players simply in the cage, leaving the team to join their hines as soon as the league season opened. Dr Murphy was not allowed to do any coaching. He simply handed over his suggestions to Captain Wins low. Billy Lush is q coach as Mike Murphy is for the track team and John Kennedy is for the crew and he will be with the baseball men till the sea son closes. With Lush goes a system of coaching which puts baseball on the same plane in point of organizat tion with the other sports at Yale. Walter Camp is the head advisory coach and Captain Bowman will run things as field captain. There are forty-seven men at work now, including fifteen batteries. Yale has four places to fill on the team, including working up q new battery. Arthur Erwin and Frank Lasley stand out prominently as catch CTS. Erwin weighs 190 pounds and is built like Cooney, Princeton's giant backstop. Among the pitchers, Cliff ford Bell. the ''Ir0n Man." and Jack son are in the lead. The most promis- ing candidate for third is Captain Church of last years freshman, nine. Captain Bowman will hold down the initial bag. Yale stands pat in her outer garden with Bruce Smith, Cote and Barnes.

WADDELL'S NEW CURVE.

Lynn, Mass, Feb T.-Rube Waddell. the crack pitcher of the Philadelphia Americans. turned fireman Sunday and by il display of herOism prevented a millinery store. which was partially destroyed week ago by fire, from again being the prey to flames.
 A Mrs Patten runs millinery store on Union street. She was trying to heat the place Sunday afternon with an oil stove. A boy carrying several boxes in his arms kicked the stove oyer. and one of the lady clerks rushed into the street yelling Fire Wad- dell was passing the store at the time. Taking in the situation at glance. he rushed into the store. and tearing a portierc from its fastenings. wrapped it about the stove. which was on the point of exploding, ran into the street and deposited it in d snowbank. Rube was telling his friends that night how he did it. "I just picked up that oi. stove. gave it a sort of spit ball twist and sent it clean over the home plate into a snow heap. It was just little practice for my arm, that's all" Rubc did not even go back into the store to receive the thanks. perhaps the embraces. of the pretty millinery clerks who were praising him as a hero.

When George Hackenschmidt. the

 April. hc intends 10 introduce novelty
 ill the way of arranging matches. Here
 toforc wrestlers were never required to
 post any forfeits for appearance or as
 guarantee that they will wres;lc in

 ever Ihe Russian has appeared in the
 past he has always attracted q large
 crowd. His opponents know this and
 are glad of the chance to meet finn.
 for besides being assured of q good ad-
 vertisement they know that they win
 get liberally paid for their services. Many have abused this by laying
 down after going few minutes. turn ing what looked like good match into q farce. Consequently Hacken- schmidt's reputation suffered and ih
 some quarters he was accused of fool
 ing his friends and admirers. In 2 re- cent interview in Australia. Hacken- schmidt had this to say relative to the practice:
 Fl have always looked upon some wrestlers as being square. but lately my expcricncc> have taught me other wise.

In race run recently at New Or leans Jockeys II. Phillips and Henncs- sy had passage at arms that was in teresting as viewed from the head of the stretch. Both boys are under con tract to J. Phillips and are great chnms. Phillips redc .\u Rcvour and Henncssy had the leg up on FoXmead. They hooked up half mile from the wire and began to ride desperately, neck and neck. In the middle of the stretch FOXmead began to carry .Au Revoir to the outer rail and Phillips hit Hcnnessy's horse over the nose with his whip to keep him from swerving. He aimed another blow, but this time he struck Hennessy ac- cdentally in the back. Hcnnessy did not understand. and as the blow stunS him he proceeded to lash Phillips across the arms and chest with all the strength as his command.
 Look out for the stewards " cried Phillips in pain. It was happy thought. for Henncssy stopped intiict- ing punishment just in the nick of time. The stewards saw nothing. and after tho race Phillips offered an apol- ogy to his chum.

Several years ago McCatfrey was in poor health and his friends were con- siderably worried about him. But he has been living quietly since and is HOW in good physical condition again. McCaffrey was the first paid referee iE this country. He acted ill this ca- pacity for the old Coney Island A. c. and received q salary for his services. Other referees in those days were glad to receive chance to pass upon the merits of two pugilists. if only to gain notoriety. But McCaffrey made ref. crceing q business proposition. and nowadays no glove fight is conducted without a paid judge.

San Francisco, Feb With every .hing apparently in readiness for the Battling ,Nelson-Young Corbett fight here on the 2Sth of this month, there is likely to be hitch.
 Jimmy Britt's fickleness is the cause of all the trouble.
 Now that the fighting game stands good chance of being put on the kibosh in this city in the next few months. James Edward wants just one more chance ta figure in real match. and has intimated to Battling Nelson that he would throw over the proposed interpational battle with Jabez White and take on the Chicago lad for re- turn fight.
 Meanwhile Morris Levy of the Hayes Valley club, which had the Corbett- Nelson date, is completely up in the air.
 Young Corbett is the most popular fighter of the trio. and the unanimous sentiment among the sporting fraterni. 1y here is that Nelson, as we'll as Britt, fears Corbett. There is no longer any doubt about it. Nelson is known tu have said he considers Corbett a hard CT man to whip than Britt.
 Corbett in the meantime is hard at work training for bout. He is ready to meet Britt. Nelson or any one else of his weight.
 The sporting people of this city are becoming very much attached to Cor bctt His willingness to fight is win hing favor. and if Britt and Nelson continue to sidetrack him it may arouse public feeling that would have it's effect on the receipts if a bout be- tween Britt and Nelson were to take place.

As Drake will prob- ably play against Michigan next fall, Heston will be the first one of Yost's pro- teges to put against Michigan eleven an opponent trained in Yost's style.

When Booth visited in Chicago on his way west last October, he dis, cuSsed the value of a footbal Il career to the young man who intends to enter a profession or any vocation which de- mands a close and large acquaintance with business men. Booth declared that he believed that his football experiences at Princeton had practically made pro- fessional career easy for him in New York city. In discussing this matter he said: We all know that a large ac- quaintance is absolutely necessary to the professional man. l have been prac- ticing law, or rather been running the bluff, for three years.

And this has been almost entirely due to the fact that was at one time prominent foot ball player at Princeton. Everybody has heard of ise it seems. and this fact alone is better than an introduction.
