SARATOGA, N. ", August 94-The
Saratoga season is now on It's last
week, and while 1t has been success
from racing point of view. 1T cannot
be said that 1t has come up to the
standard of other years, socially speak
ing. There is no absence of racing
folks, but such cannot be said of the
prominent social lights who always
made 1t their business to spend at
least n portion of the month Of August
at Saratoga. At-no better place could
this be noted than at tho clubhouse In
the afternoons and Canfield's at nights.
Last year the clubhouse balcony was
crowded to an uncomfortable degree,
VII 9 tables after the races at Can
fiel&'s were at a premium and had to
be reserved in advance. Things are
quite different this year. No one ex-
perienced any trouble in finding seats
on the clubhouse piazza during the.
running of the races, while there were
many vacant tables at Canfelds in the
evening. The villagers also complain
of the absence of the social horde. Cot
tages which were eagerly engaged at
$1,000 for the season in 1906 went beg
sinE for half that amount this year,
and even with these prices prevailing

and the committees have had pressure
brought to bear on them with the object OF

No plunglnE on Races.

Old timers such as veterans among
the bookmakers. who have been coming
to Saratoga year in and year out for
the past decade. are authority for the
statement that the play" in the ring
this season was the lightest known for
many years past. In fact, 1t was so
light that many of the operators
among the NETS" grumbled nightly
in the evening, while holding post-mor-
tens on the days events.
Last year and several years previous,
when the Gates-Drake and other equal
lily powerful combinations were at the
helm and betting was high. commits
sions of from $4,000 to 100000 on a
race were of common occurrence. 1t
was even said that between Mr.. Gates
and Mr.. Drake commission of $4,000
was not rarity by any means. Then
there were also in attendance at the
track New York millionaires. who
Thought nothing of wagering $4,000
| or $4,000 on SOME fancied horse. These
commissions would reach the ring ana
never cause futter. It was ONLY the
sensational plunges of Drake and Gates
which would attract attention and at
times create something of a mild panic

operators here are "a mild in compari-

There are several important changes
made in the compulsory school law
which went into effect at the beginning
of this school year. Children between
the ages of and 10 are required to at

FOR CLOSER RELATION.
Japan and The United states Will
Settle Differences.

CHICAGO, Aug. 5.-A special dis
patch to the Tribune from Washington
Gays:
Japan and the United States propose
TO demonstrate to each other and to the
world their mutual desire to maintain
close and friendly relations. The dem
oDstration is to take the form of nego-
tations for the removal of all differ
eDces which have arisen between them.
AS q result OF linvestiga ons in Aslatic
Immigration conditions which Secre-
tary OF Commerce and Labor Strsus and
the Japanese commissioners are max
iDg, the two governments will be in q
position to approach the settlement of
the grave exclusion question with q
better appreciation of each others ne
eessities and embarrassments.
The Japanese Ambassador, Viscount
Aoki, has given the Administration to
understand that this government IL op-
posed to pelagic sealing, which means
it does not countenance in any way the
poaching operations of japanese seal
era. nor will it tolerate like operation
in Japanese waters by American seal
ess. Beyond these two matters there
are no differences OF any ma trial con.
sequences to be adjusted.
The question which is most difficult
Of settlement is that of immigration
Although delegation OF business men
from California came to Washington to
urge the President to take action
toward lowering the bars against
-Asistic immigration, there is no doubt
sueh an action is impossible at the
present time. Eventually. in the judg-
ment Of the President, all the immigra-
lion restrictions Will be removed. As
he pointed out in conversation with the
Japanese, 80 years ago the latter re-
fused to admit Americans into their
eonntry. Today Americans do not ad-
NIT Japanese. Fifty years hence the
objection OF the United States to the
Japanese coming here will have disap-
peared and, moreover, the destiny OF
population viii be such that the Asiat-
les will find sharper competition than
they do now and viii not care to come
10 tins country.
