IMMIGRATION DESIRED.
Gov. Carter Says Hawaii Has No
Sympathy With Exclusion.


The Governor of Hawaii in his annual
report to the Secretary of the Interior
says that labor there has fortunately been
fairly plentiful as the present temporary
arrangement between this country and
Japan exempts Hawaii from an exclusion
with which she does not synnpathize. The
governor adds hope that whenever per-
manent arrangements are made the geo.
graphical position of Hawaii and the
wishes of her people will be recognized by
exempting her from any prohibition
against immigration. (which may be de-

CHICAGO. ILL.,, December 1.-THE
rows among the American League mag
mates and the threatened rebellion against
Ban johnson are still all imaginary.
Pence seems to prevail among the men
who make the spheres go whizz-by
proxy-and all is merry as six wedding
bells.
There were no trades or deals as far
as anybody could find out. Everybody
talked saseiy as to what he would do
or could do. but when 1t came down to
cases there was a gentle shrinkage.
Every one was willing to give away
Jimmy Fossil. Johnny Doddun and Harry
Haswaz in exchange for Lajoie and Joss.
but the trades fell down at the crucial
moment. It is safe to say that there will
not be three actual trades today. al
though the magnates would like to make
about twenty exchanges.
President johnson expects that the sea-
son will be launched later than 1t was
last spring-April i1-but does not think
that the later opening will effect any
change in the number of games played.
The minutes of the board of directors
meeting. held yesterday morning. were
approved and adopted.
