CALCUTTA. April IA most inter-

annual meeting Of the Calcutta Turf
Club this week
The effect would be to outlaw a GER
tain class OF horse in this country. while
The doom of pony racing would be
practically certain II would be brought
about by an alteration Of rule 4S of the
rules Of racing. In 1901. or thereabou
the Calcutta Turf Club sought the CO.
operation Of the Western Indian Turf
Club. and a proposition was made to
restrict animals that had run and won
at unregistered meetings in any country.
Dumping Ground.
There were go many vested interests
at that time, however, and II was realized
that Sd many animals would be con-
cerned. that a compromise was arrived
at whereby the ban would only be ap-
piled TO horses that had run at unsanc-
toned meetings in india Consequently,
India has long been regarded, in the
language Of tariff reformers, as the

Neat Scheme.

The question Of penalties for races
won at these unregistered meetings in
Australia is enc that is crying aloud
for legislation, for as things are at
present any pony that has raced him
self UP TO the top Of the handicap at
the unregistered and has won hun
dreds OF pounds. can come up here and
swoop down upon a maiden race and
start bottom Of the weights, for the
Indian handicappers have not form TO
guide them-no means whatever OF iden-
tifying an entry
Ii is fairly obvious that in the event
OF the changes becoming law. the bust
ness OF the Australian importers. who
find" this class of race horse and
ship il to India. will be impaired, and
in these circumstances there is likely
TO be a bigger demand than ever for the
English thoroughbred. This demand
had grown very appreciably during the
last two or three years, and as the
results have been distinctly encouraging,
The English market is likely to boom.

Quarrel Between Japanese Diplomacy
and Mliitarism.
Victoria, B. c., Sept 19.-The steam
er Empress of India, which has Just
arrived from the Orient. brought news
of serious differences In the Japanese
cabinet regarding Japan's actions In
Manchuria. Viscount Hayashi, for
merly minister to Great Britain, re-
signed the post of foreign minister In
Premier Saionijis cabinet because of
the action taken regarding the South
Manchurian railway system, which
Japan took over as government con-
cern. Japanese vernacular papers
pointed out that the quarrel is really
fight between diplomacy, headed by
Viscount Hayashi, and militarisrn.
headed by Marquis Yamagata. The
military section opposes the opening
OF Manchuria and moreover wishes to
control the Manchurian railway as q
strategical line, while the diplomatic
section has declared for the opening
81 Manchuria and seeks to subordinate
militarism, while fighting for the COM
mercial development by Japanese Of
South Manchuria. The military Sec
tion, which sought to appoint the late
Field Marshal Kodama In charge Of
the Manchurian railway system, seeks
to appoint a military adviser, who
would In effect control the line. It
was In protest to this arrangement
that Viscount Hayashi resigned. One
Toxic paper points out the efforts OF
the military sections have more than
once occasioned relations OF more or
less unsatisfactory character with
America and England regarding Man
churia.

TERRORlsTs ARE ALARMED
WHOLESALE ARRESTS ALL OVER
RUSSIA or MEMBERS or
FLYING GROUP.

st. Petersburg, Sept. l9.-Disheart-
ened at the capture Of their principal
leaders. OF whom Vladimir Mazuri and
q number of others have been exc
cuted, the flying group" OF the revo-
lutionists, which seeded from the
parent organization last winter and
which has been responsible for almost
all the important assassinations and
robberies since the convocation of par
lament, has voted to return to the
fold and submit to the orders OF the
central committee This step means
certain regulation OF terroristio activ-
fly, because sentences which formerly
were passed and put into execution by
this irresponsible little group OF
scarcely 100 men hereafter will have
to be approved by the central COM
mittee.
Members Of the "fiying group" are
convinced that they have had a traitor
In their ranks, because the arrest
within the past fortnight Of over half
their number In various parts OF Rus
sia could have been brought about
only by the possession OF inside infor-
nation. They suspect Belenzoff. who
was the leader OF the band which
committed the bank robbery In Mos
cow last March and who made such
q marvellous escape from his capt0rs
while being brought back to Russia
from Switzerland. This remarkable
escape is best explained by the con-
nivance of the police. It Is rumored
that Belenzoff Is now living In close
hiding at the headquarters Of the Mos
COW secret police.
