Does Away With Associations.

The salient point of the proposed amend
ment is that individuals and not clubs
become members of the American Bowling
Congress, and the cumbersome and unnec-
essary city bowling associations are done
away with, following the lines of theAma-
teur Athletic Association and the League
OF American Wheelmen.
With the army of bowlers in the country
as members, each paying % cents annually,
the American Bowling Congress would have
fund that would enable 1t to pay a sec
Rotary, and this man, swho would devote
his entire time to the congress, would be
able to take charge of the detail work OF
all national tournaments, which would give
an official of the governing body of the
sport direct charge of the annual meets and
insure the rigid enforcement Of all rules
This is but one of many rules that needs
revision. as 1t is generally accented that
bowling Is the most misgoverned of sports
While it is not at all likely that the Mil
Waukee congress will accomplish all the
reforms needed, at least a wedge will be
entered and movement will be started
that may produce desired results

The vice governor replied that the only
place where such an event could occur
was at Nagasaki It would not be re-
ceiyed at Yedo. To Nagasaki TIE great
American functionary must go - pre-
sent the letter. Thus three days OF coll
loquy had been carried on, and no rar-
son had been permitted to come aboar1
other than the interpreter. The de-
mand that the ceremony take place Il

err0r was informed that the event must
occur at Yedo But ne was also inform
ed that no indignity would be allowed,
but that the intentions of the com

The guard boats that had surrounded
the squadron since its arrival, must be
instantly removed or they would be de-

guard boats departed
On the fourth day the vice governor
was permitted to go aboard the flagship.
and after an extended conference with
Lieutenant Contee. he informed that Of
ficer that he being the ''Yakumin.' pos
sessed no authority to permit the presen-
tation of the letter to occur at Yedo, and
consequently he departed. so that the
negotiations were temporarily suspend
ed. Such intolerable assumption OF au-
thority by the hair-faced barbarians was
utterly disgusting.
The people, who were now thorough
ly alarmed repaired TO the temples of
their gods TO implore help. From sunset
TO dawn of day, rockets were shot UP
from many parts Of the city Of Yedo
summoning the people to arms. Extra
ordinary efforts were put forth in max
in preparations for defense. Lights
were flashed from distant hills sur
rounding the city and the danger was
rapidly communicated to the people far
away from Yedo. The alarm was sound
ed. The holy land invaded-the sacred
waters soiled, and polluted by the bar
barians of a foreign nation.

IN the early hours of the following
day, a large barge, apparently official.
propelled by q dozen or more rowers,
proceeded from the shore to a point
near the squadron, followed by large
number of small boats, which imme-
diately surrounded the American ships.
But, to the anazement of the natives,
they found it impossible to fasten their
lines TO the ships AS fast IS their ropes
were flung upon the decks, they were
east off into the water EXclamattons
Of astonishmeEt followed these ineffec-
tuaI efforts TO attach their lines TO the

The vice governor. who had expressed
a desire to come on board the flagship.
was informed through his Interpreter
that this would not be permitted The
Americans would speak only with the
governor himself. Finally, after a

to go aboard the flagship, and see a rep

/ had come from the far-away American
nation.
But the great commodore did not ap-
pear There was mystery concerning
