came as a complete surprise to the
British public, as there had been vir-
tually no intimation that any friction
had arisen between the two Govern
ments.
The placards posted by the evening
papers were given over exclusively
to the American note, and the papers
gave it the largest headlines they
have given any news during the last
month.
Consequently the British people ~
gard this as one Of the most impor-
tant occurrences Of the whole war.
Nothing Of its kind since President
Cleveland's Venezuelan message has
produced such sensation.
The first impression of the public
is that the note may create friction
and, perhaps, some unfriendly feel-
ing, although the newspapers point
out that it specifically states that the
representations were made ID 4
friendly spirit.
The American stand, however, hae
caused little surprisein official circIss.
as negotiations extending over. sever
al months between Ambassador PSF
and Foreign Secretary Grey have
conferred about the termination Of tile
ultimate destination Of the Ameficl6s
cargoes in question and the pre1o6t
protest summarizes all the grievanc6p y
OF the United States in this come
ton.

There are two factions, one of which
the Mendes factiOn-claims the

RRIETER CLOSES GAMES
At CARNIVAL GROUNDS
Many CritiCiSe Officials For
Allowing Chance Games at
Carnival and Prohibit Them
in Local Business Houses.

One pillow rattle. one knife rattle
stunt and a perfume ring rack were
closed wednesday evening by Chief
OF Police Krieter at the carnival
grounds The three games. so thought
the chief, were so near unlawful
gambling that he forced them 70 stop
plying their business. Early in the
evening the president Of the Misha-
waka Business Mems association,
Charles l.. Ostrander, visited the
grounds and registered a complaint
10 the chief against one Of the main
attractions and also the way the
carnival was being allowed to con-
duct its entertainments.
Mr.. Ostrander is alleged TO have
said that ne was OF the opinion that
the La Del La Mar show was even
worse than the oriental show with
the carnival which visited Mishawaka
during the Homecoming week late
last summer. The chief. however
failed to see the show in the same

it was comprised merely OF posing
scenes and that he could see nothing

Other than the chance games and
the show there were no complaints

permission to the carnival people
10 operate ball racks and hammer
devices as chance games when local
merchants in the cigar and cOnfec-
tiOnery business are prohibited from
operating any sort OF chance game in
their places Of business. Even the
candy rattle cards and similar forms
OF petit chance risks were placed I'M
der the ban.
The action Of the police was highly
endorsed by many while others feel
that in making the cleaning of chance
games at the carnival grounds the
other stunts should have been in
clude6 The grounds Monday even
ing wee crowded with people and ap-
parently the shows and other money
getters are enjoying a prosperous
business
As the managers OF the carnival
brought the shows here on their own
Initiative there is no one to whom the
blame can be shifted for the trouble
the police are experiencing.
Mr. Ostrander takes exception to
the statement regarding his position
in the matter He said TO The News
the city had called on him and had
registered a complaint regarding some
OF the attractions which were being
featured on the show grounds. He
Immediately visited the place but on
the assurance or Chief kreiter that
all the obtectionaI parts Of the pro-
gram had been cut out he tok no fur

the attractions and was therefore not
in a position 10 criticize them.

Thursday that his entertainment was
one OF the cleanest dancing features
ever shown I'm Mishawaka. He is in

been directed towards it.
