course, become affected to a consider
able extent by the great outdoor move
ment that has converted Independence
Day into the greatest sporting carni-
val of the year
The Navy Department has wisely
encouraged this tendency, and where
ever an open field is available, the
piece de resistance is a baseball game,
sometimes between rival mines picked
from members of the same ship,
oftener between teams representing
different ships and in some extreme
cases between mines from separate
squadrons who happen to be in rem
devious near each other
Then there are track and field
events. The fleet-footed wearers of
the blue show how fast they can
sprint. Now just what good this does
them in their developments as fighters
is not clear. for even had they the
instinct to flee and get over ground
faster than a Duffy it would do them
no good at the moment when the prov
of the ship was heading for moist
trip to Davy Jones Locker However
they run and throw weights, jump and
pole vault
If no athletic field is available. then
he rivalry must be confined to aquatic
vents, swimming and rowing races.

Iitions preclude rowing or swimming, |

CHICAGO, Dec 2S.-At a meet
ing of creditors of the Zion City
estate, last night, in Zion tabernacle
Receiver John Hatley announced
that conditions have reached a point
where they demand that immediate
arrangements be made for selling
the entire property.
Many of the creditors, he said, are
in absolute poverty, as the result OF
having invested their all in the
kingdom Others are borrowing to
meet living expenses and are APP
preaching financial ruin. The re-
ceiver said that he is receiving every
day urgent letters asking for an inn
mediate settlement of the estates
affairs.
The fact that winter has arrived
makes the crisis sharper, and Mr..
Hatley felt that the dictates of hui
mainly must be met. The. creditors
will vote on the question of selling
the property.

situation as critical, owing to the agi-
tation of the South Chinese opium
dealers and owners of gambling
houses, who are disconnected, as a
result of the various recent reforms
and the suppression of the opium
traffic. At several places, depots OF
arms have been discovered. The
Japanese, it is added, have consider
ably strengthened the guard of their
