 The big gates will be reached at 2:S0 o'clock, promptly, and the two teams, Atlanta and Birmingham, with the band between, will march to the grand stand. The speeches will be made amid the wild cheering of the assembled multitudes, and then the teams and band will march back across to the flag pole In center field to raise the bunting. The Barons will do the raising, and as the pennant climbs the pole there will be a few brief remarks by some of the speakers.
 Governor Conner is among the invited speakers, President Kavanaugh of the Southern league, Mayor Ward of Bir mingham and Mayor Joyner of Atlanta have also been asked to attend. One of the mayors will toss the first ball across the plate and the other will toss the second.

Charued With Arson.

4 Huntsville, April Especial .)-Richard Betts and Shelby Hammond, negroes, were brought to Huntsville last night and lodged in jail on charges of arson in the first degree. They are accused of setting fire to the home of William Cartwright in the Madison precinct while the family was asleep. Cartwright and his family escaped from the burning building and found traces of the work or firebugs Bloodhounds were taken to the scene and they followed trails to the homes of Betts and Hammond. The state expects to establish a motive for the crime and there is a possibility that the men will be hung.

 Since that time he has written insult ing letters to Manager Vaughn, said bad things about Birmingham and everything connected with the club and behaved badly. However, Mobile wanted him, and paid for him, and he is theirs now.
 Meridian, where Bruner thought he had a certain berth, did not care to have him another year, stating that he was not good enough for them again.

The talk of Manager Vaughn to Meek seems to have had a good result. The fans are with Meek when he plays ball and will show their appreciation of an honest effort on his part. They all want to see him make good with the team.
 It Is right to censure and it is right to praise. As a usual thing the censure Is left out and the praise put in, and In this case both are given equal standing. Meek has the ability to make the best first baseman or catcher in the league and training is all he lacks.

Pitcher Rowan, who went to the sky yes- terday afternoon in the ninth inning, has been disposed of to Atlanta by Manager Hugh Jennings of the Detroits.

PARIS, June 27.-The Post lntelli-
gencer's correspondent says: At the
present hour, there is perhaps no single
question of international Importance
which is the object of more earnest at
tention-one might say more general
uncertainty and distrust-than the at
titude. aims and imbitions of the
youngest of the great powers. 1t
would almost seem as though the
tremendous struggle from which Japan
emerged victorious had had the effect
of unnerving the world and causing
it to whisper anXiously: Whose turn
will it be neXt?"
If this atmosphere of distrust is to
be dispersed it is of the first import
ance to know what really are the aims
and intentions of Japan. No man
is better qualified to speak on this
subject than the distinguished diplo-
mat who bore so brilliant part in the
negotiations at st. Petersburg, which
preceded the Russo-Japanese war and
who now represents the Mikado in
Paris.
Shinichiro Kurino is a sincere ad-
mirer and friend of America, where he
spent quite a considerable portion of
his life. He speaks with evident pleas
ure of his old Harvard days. In all,
NJ Kurino was ten and half years a
resident of the United States; seven
and a half years as a student Che
graduated in 1881 and three as min
lister plenipotentiary at Washington.
On quitting Harvard, M. Kurino enter
ed the Japanese foreign Office, whence
he was dispatched to Washington in
1894. From Washington he went to
Rome and thence to st. Petersburg
where he remained up to the outbreak
of hostilities. The ambassadors own
comment on his diplomatic career is
worth placing on record as the utter
ance of a noble mind.

THE AMBITION
OF THE JAPS
sA TENENT BY THE JAPANESE AMBASSADOR AT PARIS-SAYs
JAPAN is NOT SEEKING ACKNOWLEDGEMENT AND
DOES NOT WANT TO SHUT WHITES OUT EAST

iect of my visit, his eXcellency said:
Il must confess that there is a re-
grettable tendency just now to regard
the relations between America and
japan as grave Incidents of little inn
portance in themselves have been ex-
aggerated to such an extent that the
two countries have been represented
as being on the verge of war. A French
journal actually went so far as to
prophecy the outbreak of hostilities
for February IS.
Il cannot understand this distrust OF
Japan on the part of Americans in the
Eastern states. Whether it is due to
the San Francisco affair l cannot say,
but certain it is that it exists. 1t can
not have been caused by jingoism, for
there was a complete absence of any
such spirit in Japan, both the press
and public maintaining all through this
difficulty the most perfect sangfroid.
"There is no ill-feeling whatever
against America in Japan. The Japa-
nese are and always have been very
cordially disposed toward Americans.
There seems to be a deep-seated doubt
as to our intentions, a conviction that
we have some arriere-pensee-sOm
scheme at the back of our heads.
Americans forget that we nave only
just emerged from a long and costly
war; that defects in our military and
naval organization naturally were re-
vealed during that war and must now
be remedied and further that repairs
are needed on an enormous scale. They
forget that we have whole fleet Of
Russian ships to repair and refit be-
fore they can be rendered serviceable.
This entails one or two years work yet
for they were terribly knocked about.
81 repeat if Americans were aware
of the precise reason for our increased
military and naval expenditure, they
would understand that our task is at
present chiefly one of repairs rather
than of increasing ornaments.
GAS to the increase in our forces In
Korea and Manchuria, this has been

and all this quite apart from the ques-
ton of adequacy of consideration,
which, immaterial though it be, the
facts at all events resolve in plaintiffs
favor Plaintiff complains, not alone
of transfer at an unfair price, but
especially that a creditor, occupying
a trust position of peculiar advantage,
engaged in effecting a secret prefer
ence of himself over the other creditors
whereby the entire assets of a cor
poration were taken and the concern
put out of business, thus depriving
the other creditors not only of the
present means of satisfying their
claims in whole or in part, but also OF
all possibility of satisfaction in the flu
ture. 1t is the fraudulent result Of
which we especially complain"

them roughshod? There is no limit if
you once embark on the sea of doubt
and suspicion. And yet one might have
thought that our arrangement with
France had given the coup de grace to
the Yellow Peril.
There never was a vestige of foun-
dation for the fear that Japan coveted
and was scheming to seize Indo-China,
any more than for the canard that we
have designs on the Philippines. |

not share this suspicion. Territorial
ACKNOWLEDGMENT is not always lucra-
tive America has discovered this in
the case of the Philippines. The Phil
ippines are not paying concern.
1T is not the policy of Japan to seek
territorial aggrandisement. Our am
bition, our destiny, is to be a
world power, and not confine our
selves to the East. We are, therefore,
not against Europe and America, but
with them as one of the powers, and
as such it is to our own interest to put
away all thoughts of aggression and to
promote international peace by our
readiness to support arbitration

is personally of the opinion that there
is no ground to go upon for such an
agreement, for the very good reason
that Americans are averse to "entang-

ry to go back a few years to find

There has been quite little talk
around town, about the chances of
holding an automobile race meet in the
near future on the Waikiki road. Such
a plan if permission could be obtained
from the proper authorities would be
very interesting, as there is room
enough for several cars at once on
the road, and the chances for records
being broken are very good Racing
is very good test for cars, and no
doubt a number of good races could be
run, dividing the cars into classes as
to horsepower, price, etc. 1t is hoped
that these races will be held on Labor
Day, and that a number of cars will
enter.

TROY LAUNDRY
VS., The SANITARY
BRIEF FILED YESTERDAY BY THE
ATTORNEYS FOR THE TROY
COMPANY.

A brief was filed yesterday in the
Supreme Court by the law firm OF
Thompson and Clemens for their client
the Troy Laundry Machinery Company
in its case against the Sanitary Steam
Laundry Company, and J. Alfred Ma
coon, appealed from Judge Robinson's
order sustaining the demurred of the
defendants
The suit is bill in equity brought
by the Troy Laundry Machinery Com
pany attacking an assignment of the
Sanitary Laundry Company's entire
business to Magoon, it's vice president
director, manager, and creditor, chars-
ing that the action was fraudulent. In
part the appellants brief recites:
Nov, what was the full value
given for this transfer of 100000 worth
of property? The purported assump-
ton of two mortgage debts aggregat-
ing 100000 neither of which, so far
as plaintiff has had any notice, has
ever been released of record or salts
fed.
THE element of full value is not
enough to save the defendants under
the facts alleged and by the demurrer
admitted. Here we have an insolvent
corporation, making an assignment o.
it's entire property, putting itself out
of business, by way of preference of
creditor, who as vice president, di-
rector and general manager in con-
troll and direction Of the enterprise,
participated in this transfer to him
self without the usual sequel of change
of possession, either real or apparent,
