Deal Closed Whereby Sensa-

Early in September.
VETERAN M. KAHOE
COMMENDS PLAYER
Thinks New Recruit May Prove
a Second Walter =
Johnson.
By THOMAS KIRBY.

Before taps IS sounded at National
Park in October, local fans will have
an opportunity to see a pitching phe-
nom. who is touted as a second Walter
johnson.
While Mike kahoe was following his
guerrilla tactics through the bush leagues
OF the middle West he was drawn 70
the Central League by sensational
stories about the ability OF Pitcher
Walker, OF the GAINESVILLE club. When
the veteran saw the youngster he de-
cided that delay would be fatal, Sc he
Immediately closed a deal whereby
Walker is 10 become the property Of
Washington at the end Of the season.
Cp TO the time Kahoe saw Walker,
the work Of the twirler had been most
impressive, but since that time all OF
his pest performances have been over
Swallowed. He has won four out Of five
of the games he has pitched, but the
other day he capped the climax and
earned right to the title OF Iron Man
by not only pitching two winning ball
games in the course Of an afternoon,
but shutting out his opponents in both,
and allowing but seven hits in the
eighteen innings. Considering that the
Central League ranks wei I'D among
the minor organizations such perfor-
nance is no mean feat.
Cantillon does not intend to wait until
next season for the pitcher, for he
has closed a deal whereby walker is
10 come here early next month. so that
he viii have one or more opportunities
10 demonstrate his worth before the
Nationals close their Inflated campaign
the first week in October

Smiths return to the form displayed
when he first joined the Nationals has
been one Of the few bright spots in
the work Of the club during the past
week.
The consensus Of opinion among the
fans was that Smith was through so
far as the majors were concerned
They pointed TO his mediocre work IN
the majority Of his games, but the
limit was reached Tuesday when the
announcement that ~ was 20 work
was actually Kissed by paviilontes ald
bleecherltes. Such an adverse reception
is Inclined 10 take the steam out OF any
nall PLAYER but with Smith il had eX-
actlv the opposite effect, for he never
pitched better ball.
Even then some thought t1at IL was
simply a flicker before the candle went
ont hut Yesterday Smith came back
and If anything. actually improved on
his showing Of two days previous NOT
that he completely puzzled the Maps
FOR they got men on often tuousn, out
il was IN these Instances That smith
showed his rarcst form, bringing me

ALASKA INSANE.
Appropriation Required To Care For
Numerous Cases.

WASHINGTON, Feb. l3.-The
problem Of dealing with the rapidly
increasing Alaskan insane has again
been presented to Congress.
Secretary Garfield Of the Depart
ment of the Interior has requested
an additional appropriation Of SIS,
600 to be made Immediately for prae-
tically all the money provided for
contract obligations has already been
expended. The Alaskan insane, un.
der contracts, are now being cared
for by a sauitarium at Portland,
Oregon, at a cost to the government
of 1884 a year per capita.
Secretary Garfield reported to Con.
gress that the number Of insane from
Alaska is increasing constantly and
the reason advanced is the extreme
cold and the isolation from civiliza-
ton Of many of the inhabitants Of
that territory. There is no place in
Alaska where the insane can be cared
for.

MORE ANTI-JAP TALK.

HELENA, Mont, Feb. 13.-While
there is a consensus Of opinion that
the Anti-Japanese memorial which
has been introduced in the House By
Representative Norton is too dras-
tic for adoption, it seems certain that
with amendments which will be Of
fered it will pass the House. The
Silver Bow County delegation, l2
strong, and most Of the Democrats
favor it and enough Republicans
have signified their intention to sup.
port such legislation to make it al
most certain that the House, which
has a Democratic majority Of five,
will send the bill to the Republican
Senate. There is seems probable the
memorial will be killed.

DRAINAGE BOND ELECTION
Action Postponed Until Attorney
General is Heard From.

The commissioners court, which
met today to name the voting places
for holding the election in the pro-
posed drainage district, found it nee
essary to postpone action in the mat
ter until an opinion from the attor-
ney general concerning an import
ant point in connection with the
matter could be obtained As the
new drainage law provides that
elections for the purpose of voting
on drainage bonds shall be held in
conformity with the regular state
election laws, it appears that voting
places must be opened in every pre-
cinct. or part of election precincts
in the district. Now, the proposed
district in which the bonds are to
be voted upon includes parts of five
election districts, but in only two OF
these are there sufficient qualified
voters TO furnish officers to conduct
the election, according to the law.
As only qualified voters who reside
IN the district can serve as election
officers, this may prove an obstacle
to holding the election on the bond
issue
The county attorney has been in
structed to obtain an opinion from
the attorney general on the subject.

Der Z, awaiting the opinion. 1t is
expected that the difficulty viii
probably be overcome by that time,
and the voting places can then be
named and other arrangements for
the drainage election completed.
