NOT TO ENTER MEXICO
Gathering Of National Militia
Board Has No Significance,
Says Stimson.

A gathering in Washington of the
national militia board and a conference
of its members with Secretary Stimson
and Maj. Gen. Wood yesterday afternoon
was the slight foundation upon which a
rumor was based that Intervention in
Mexico was under consideration. AS a
matter of fact, Secretary Stimson after
the meeting declared positively that un-
less trouble should be caused by the cir
culation of unwarranted stories of that
kind. he could see absolutely no reason
to apprehend any change in the attitude
of the United States toward Mexico,
which would remain one of quiet OBJ
servation and abstention from any inter-
ference between the federal and revolu-
tionary elements, as long as American
life and property continue to be re-
spected
Nevertheless the national militia board
Is engaged in an undertaking of the
greatest Importance to the militiamen OF
every state in the country in trying to Sc
cure from Congress legislation that will
strengthen the National Guard by giving
it national support through a reasonable
pecuniary compensation to the individual
militianlen for the time and trouble they
give to the pubic service.
The opinion of the Attorney General to
the effect that the militia cannot be
called into foreign service as at present
organized naturally led the War Depart
ment to oppose the bill for the payment
of the militia, which would involve an
additional appropriation of s9,OOO,OOO for
the National Guard, unless that limita-
ton is removed.
The members of the national militia
board who met the Secretary of War in
conference are Gen. c. p. Boardman of
Wisconsin. Gen. W. E. Finze4 of Oregon
Gen. Thomas J. Stewart of Pennsylvania,
Col w. S. Metcalf Of Kansas and Maj.
H. S. Berry of Tennessee.

4. That Koiin Yamada. the Japanese
billiardist now in America, is destined
some day to win the 1872 balkline bill
lard championship of the world is the
opinion of many American cue ex-
perts. In the recent tournament in
New York Yamada won third honors,
but since then he appears TO have
picked up many of the finger points of
the game. His defeat of Slosson and
Morningstar in Pittsburg during the
last few days indicates how dangerous
he is.
Maurice DAILY, who regards Yamada
as a candidate for championship hon
ors, says of him: He has a lot &c
learn. but he will get a lot from obser
walton and experience. At present he
depends on his execution and lacks
system. When he becomes more me
thodical he will be the player most
likely to have the edge on Willie
Hoppe for the championship. His
temperament seems to be an idea
one for billiard player. If he is sus
ceptible of any emotion his immobilt
countenance does not betray it. APP

The aeroyacht, latest of all the

word received here today by a we'll

According to advices Manager F. w.
Payne. who is in active charge of the
show, is negotiating with one of the
well known firms of aviators and has
been practically assured that the mys-
ferrous aeroyacht will be seen at the
shows This machine is in reality an
aeroplane, but it is equipped with a
boats body capable of carrying five
or six people. The operators seat
controls and paraphernalia is arrang
ed much like a modern automobile
and instead of being balanced on a
framework in mid-air. the driver and
passengers sit comfortably while the
machine glides over the water up tC
