"War Party's" Spies.

In one diplomatic quarter the opinion
was expressed last night that the spies
probably represented the war party in
Japan, this party having organized a
band Of spies, whose information would
be useful in case the war party gained
control OF the japanese government and
succeeded in bringing about a war be-
tween Japan and this country
This belief is somewhat strengthened
by the report that trouble of a similar
nature has been experienced in one of
the California forts
In all circles astOnishmea- was *
pressed last night at this evidence that
there is an element in Japan which an
parently believes that the kingdom Of
the Mikado can ever hope 70 cone with

United States. That announcement
rather than depression, has beer. created
in the minds of the war party by the
sending Of the big American feet to the
Pacific waters was another opinion
freely voiced, as II was pointed out that
the japanese war party. being infiamed
with the desire for war could imagine
that the sending OF the feet was an
acknowledgment Of fear on the part
Of the United States.

Former Spy Reports.

not the first offenses Of japanese spies.

amused at two young ladies' who
were evidently unconscious Of
the concern their actions were giving
TO the mOtorman of the car The girls
were about eighteen years old and one
of them had just purchased an alarm
clock. The alarm was set, and every
few minutes the girl with the clock
would release the key.
The little bell would Jingle away mer-
rily and at the very next corner the
car would stop. No one alighted and
the conductor, after waiting a reason
able times would give the moJorman
the signal TO go ahead After q little
more chatter and still more giggling, the
girls set the clock off again, and again
the car stopped This was repeated

To Reduce the Team.

While the Little Rock team is having a two days lay-off from active operations, Manager Finn is hard at work planning for the cut down which is necessary be- fore Friday of this week. Ac- cording to the rules of the league each club is allowed to carry but 14 players after May 10, and the enforcement of this rule to the letter is one of President Kava- naugh's hobbies. As a result, Friday will witness a general elimination of talent in all the eight clubs of the organization.

A pretty way Of finishing the waist and

the joining may be very nicely accomplish
