nothing. Perhaps when you got It you had a vague Idea that you or 6ome member

JAPAN'S TRADE.
Much of Jt Is GolHg to Canada
Japanese Finances "improved.
VICTORIA, B. C, Jan. 1. F. G. Nosse,
Consul-General for Japan at Montreal, ar
rived here yesterday from Yokohama. In
an interview he said:
'Trade between Japan and Canada is
growing fast, especially In the imports
of salt salmon by Japan from British Co
lumbia. Hitherto the Japanese have had
to import the. salmon from the fisheries;
of the Russian Asiatic coast, from Sag
hallen and Kamschatka, but now the deal
ers are looking to British Columbia for
jthelr supply, and when the fact Is con
sidered that in Japan there are 40.000,000
people who are willing purchasers of salt
salmon, Jt Is easy to see that the pres
ent supply imported by Japan Is but a
drop In the bucket to what must come
when the trade has been satisfactorily
worked up.
"Japan will also Import much lumber
from Canada, the market for the timbers
of this country being large. Machinery,
agricultural Implements, electrical appa
ratus, flours, cottons, etc., will also And
a great wiarket in Japan, and the Japan
ese are also great buyers of bicycles.
"The finances of Japan are again in a
stable condition. The Impression that
went abroad regarding a financial strin
gency in Japan was erroneous. Money Is
plentiful, but In common with other na
tions Japan was a heavy loser as a re
sult of the troubles In North China. As
Is well known the greatest market of Ja
pan for silks, teas and other ware Is In
North China, and the troubles causing a
stoppage of all trade, the loss was great.
The Chinese Government, however, has
drafted a settlement of the Indemnities
demanded by the powers and things are
approaching a normal condition.
"The political situation is quiet in Ja
pan at present, and there are no rumors
of war. The Russophobe feeling has more
or less subsided ;in fact, the nations seem
to have been educated somewhat by the
recent fracas In North China, and the
general feeling Is that peace should now
be assured for some years at least.
"Japan is making gigantic preparations
for the monster exposition which Is to be
held In Osaka, Japan, Xa 1968."

miles of Manila today, came across 20
armed Insurgents in a cuartel or bar

then burned the barracks and proceeded

PRESIDENT OF GUBA

imous Electoral Vote,
MASS01TESABSENTFR0MP0LLS
Many of the Partisan of the Nation,
ailst Candidate, Confident of Vic
tory, Did Not Participate la
the Electiex.
HAVANA, Jan. L The Indications are
that the entire Palma ticket will be elect
ed, and that Tonias Estrada Palma. the
Nationalist candidate for the Presidency
of Cuba, will receive the unanimous vote
of the electoral college.
The adherents of Bartolome Masso, the
Democratic candidate, who recently with
drew from the campaign, not only with
drew their candidates, but refused to go
to the polls. A remarkably light vote wae
polled throughout 'the Island.
La Discussion ascribes this Indifference
to the certainty on the part of the Palma
Ists of being victorious, and that conse
quently a majority of them stayed at
home and did not vote. La Discussion says
that the vote may be taken as a protest
by the Cuban people against the imposi
tion of official candidates.
The Dlarlo de la Marina says that the
result is an indication that the Cuban
Democracy may look upon American poli
cies as Inevitable. .

NEW YORK, Jan. 1. Tomas Estrada

ANOTHER PLAYHOUSE BURNED
Fire la Keith's Union-Square Thea
ter at New York.
NEW YORK, Jan. 2. Fire was discov
ered early this (Thursday) morning In the
engine-room of Keith's Union-Square The
ater. The -flames were first seen by the
engineer of the Morton House, which ad
joints the theater, and he gave the alarm.
There were 300 guests In the hotel, who
were hurriedly notified, and made their
escape to the street, clad In their night
garments. The halls and corridors of the
hotel were filled with "smoke, and the
guests from the upper floors were com
pelled to grope their way to the street.
So far as known they all got out In safe
ty. Keith's Theater Is a six-story build
ing, and the Morton. Is five stories, both
practically In the same building. By 2
o'clock the flames had spread with re
markable rapidity, and It seemed- as If the
firemen would not be able to prevent their
spreading to every part of the building.
It was learned that the fire started In
the storage-room adjoining the engine
room of the theater. Within 20 minutes
after Its discovery It had eaten its way to
the stores adjoining on the east. The Mor
ton House Is on the west. The clothing
store of Benson & Co. was soon destroyed,
as was the cigar store of Manuel Diaz.
At 2:45 A. M. Chief Croker announced that
he had hopes of confining the theater fire
to the basement of the theater and also
of preventing Its spread further to the
eastward of the two stores burnea.
The guests of the Morton House were
taken to other hotels In the vicinity, to be
cared for, and many of the men had time
to go back to their rooms to save their
valuables. The excitement In the hotel
was added to by the firemen dragging
long lines of hose through the halls, so
that they could get the streams to play
on the rear of the theater. There were
wild .scenes In the hotels as the guests,
porters, waiters and maids ran screaming
to the street. Many of the women fainted
and were carried 6ut, but a search of the
hotel seemed to satisfy the police that all
were able to reach places of safety.
While the fire department was trying
to overcome the fire In the basement sev
eral firemen went Into the main theater
and carried out the tanks containing sev
en seals, comprising Woodward's troupe.
Meanwhile lines of hose were carried to
the stage and held In readiness should the
flames break through the floor from the
basement. This basement is called fire
proof. It was one mass of flames from
end to end. and on the strength of Its
fireproof qualities depends the safety of
the theater proper. The loss Is estimated
at 525,000.
DR.PEARSON'S PHILANTHROPY
Pacific University and Whitman Col
lege Will Be Helped.
CHICAGO. Jan. 1. Dr. D. K. Pearson,
the Chicago philanthropist, made a New
Year's resolution today, which was at
the same time an ultimatum to the col
leges which are expecting to profit by his
bounty. There are eight of these col
leges, and 8400,000 of the doctor's money
will be handed over to their endowment
funds the minute that they have raised
corresponding sums of money on their
own account. Not one of them had, how
ever, fulfilled the conditions at the close
of last year.
"They shall have until January L 1S03,
to pay their pledges," he announced at
his Hinsdale home, "and If they are not
ready then, they will never get a cent
from me. That's the limit."
By way of making this binding. Dr.
Pearsons embodied his resolutions In let
ters which he wrote to each of the college
presidents. Dr. Pearsons announced fur
ther that it was his purpose not to make
any more conditional gifts to colleges.
It was his Intention, he said, to give the
rest of his wealth, probably J3.0OO.OO!) or
S4.000.000. outxbzht in tha eaurse of the
next few years to the colleges which have
accomplished the most with what he has
given them In the past.
"Every cent I give away after the end of
this year." he said, "nJXl go straight out
to the Institutions I have already helped.
There are 30 of them In all, mostly In tne
West, and I am going to look them all
over next year, and make up my mind.
The colleges that have done well, iat
have saved the endowment and used It
In the right way, will get the money."
Some of the fortunate colleges Dr. Pear
sons has already decided on. He- did not
say so directly, but his praise of Drury
College, Missouri; Whitman College,
Washington; Colorado College, Pacific
"University, Oregon, and Belolt College, left
no doubts of his Intentions toward them.
"Real gems," Is what ho calls them.

plans they are waiting to see If the new
Secretary will offer any practical sugges
tions. Meanwhile, there Is talk of repeal
ing entirely the war revenue -law to stop
the Inflow of money. It Is also said that
now Is a good time to redeem all the
greenbacks, which would take up the sur
plus as well as the J15O.O0O.O0O gold
reserve. It Is believed by some
financiers In Congress that on this
account and because it would be
many years before greebacks would
be taken up there would not be the
slightest contraction of the currency.
Financial legislation to stop the coinage
of the bullion and selgnorage into .silver
dollars, but to have It all coined Into sub
sidiary coin. Is also suggested. If the
new Secretary should Indorse any of the
suggestions there is possibility of action
of some sort by Congress.
TEMPERANCE INSTRUCTION.
Prof. Sedjrwlclc Says Science Teach
ing Is SmTijccfed to Propaganda.
CHICAGO, Jan. i. Scientific temper-
-ance Instruction, as taught in the public
schools from the text-books now in use,
together with antl-vlvesectlon, and anti
vaccination and Christian Science, were
denounced by Professor William T. Sedg
wick, president of the American Associa
tion of Naturalists, at a banquet tonight
given by members of the scientific soci
eties now in session at the University of
Chicago.
"It Is a notorious and disgraceful fact,"
said Professor Sedgwick, "that with a
view of pleasing a self-constituted oli
garchy, some writers have even made
alcoholic Instruction the beginning, the
middle and the end of their text-books.
Of such books It may be truly said that
they have no permanency of their "own
and with difficulty would be preserved In
schools."
President Sedgwick's address was upon
"The Modern Subjection of Science and
Education to Propaganda." "It Is right."
said the Professor, "that pupils should be
taught the clanger of alcohol and narcot
ics, but teachers of,ten go too far, and It
even appears that all Instruction In phys
iology and hygiene In public schools has
passed, to a great and unjustifiable ex
tent. In the hands and under the subjec
tion of the temperance propaganda."
President Sedgwick believes that there
should be little or no state regulation of
what shall appear In text-books. "Scarce
ly had science and education." he said,
'freed themselves from the church when
'they began to be threatened by subjec
tion to the state. No wise educator, wno
ha,s given any attention to the subject,
can deny that the Influence of this power
of the propaganda has been, in most re
spects, injurious to the proper teaching of
physiology and hygiene In the lower
schools. In my opinion It Is time for a
body of scientific men like the American
Society of Naturalists and the American
Association for the Advancement of Sci
ence o put on record their opinion that
the subjugation under which science and
education are today suffering from the
temperance propaganda has become Intol
erable." J. McK. Cattel. of Columbia University,
was elected President of the Society for
the ensuing year and R. G. Harrison,
of Johns Hopkins, secretary. . A reso
lution -i-as adopted by the society favor
ing the bill pending 1n Congress provid
ing for the preservation of the cliff
dwellings In Colorado by forming there a

Baudy does not expect to end his Interest
In and support of the proDOsed school
with the gift of Jl.000.000. He also will
establish an endowment fund. The In
stitution takes on still greater Importance
from the fact that It will be actively fos-
tered by the French Government. The
students will consist of GOO graduates of
French colleges, to be selected by the
government, and 200 will be sent over
each year. They will come on scholar
ships, all expenses of transportation and
living being defrayed by France. At the
conclusion of his conference with Dr.
Harper, Mr. Ridel left for Washington

Ten Minntca After Down' Seventy
Yard Run in Open Field, Sunders
Fumbles to Albertson for
a Touchdown.
From soaring visions of victory perch
ing upon their banner, Multnomah's hopes
were dashed down yesterday to a real-
ization of defeat, and 6-0 were the num-
ortlo 1T ttiA nt a n . A A H V. .
M-4.3 W1U b IIIC &UKI Ul Will IUIC Ull LliO
football carried off by the triumphant Re-
llance warriors. Ten mluutes before the
j tide of battle turred In favor of the Uul-
lfornians, the Multnomah rooters had
, risen to their feet to yell and shriek In
their exultation at one of the most spec-
tacular plays ever seen on a local gridiron.
, Downs, the swift, clever end. had
snatched the ball from underneath the
heap of piled-up, mlxed-up players, and
was seen dashing his way to the oppon-
i ents' goal. Crimson and white waved In
the air, while the fleet-footed runner sped
down the clear field.
'."Run. Downs, run! Oh! Mr. Downs,
please run!" screamed one pretty rooter,
leaning over In the grandstand and be
laboring an old gentleman's silk hat with
a paiasol In her excitement.
It looked like an easy touchdown for
Multnomah, but the crowd reckoned with
out one Vos Burgh, the Reliance quarter
back, a fleeter runner, who recovered him
self and started after Downs on the lomr,
stern chase. Amid the most terriffic
cheering and excitement, the little run
ner gained upon his slower opponent, and
downed him by a clever tackle before the
coveted goal-line was reached.
Multnomah groaned and squeezed out
briny tears. But there was more to
come. Having lost the chance to score
after outplaying the Reliance visitors, the
gods frowned again when the tall and
dusky fullback, Sanders, was attempting
a punt from behind his own. goal-line.
The ball came low, and horrors! San
ders juggled and muffed It. He bent over
over to recover It, when three Reliance
men crashed through the line and were
upon him. Four men made a simultan
eous dash after the ball, and when they
were sorted out. the coveted pigskin was
found reposing safely under the brawny
Albertson. It was a touchdown for Re
liance, and more tears, weeping, walling,
and gnashing of teeth were In order for
the Multnomah supporters. In 10 min
utes the game had been lost and won.
It was hard luck to be lifted 'up to the
heights of victory only to be dashed
down to the slough of despond, but' such
Is football.
Fumbles Ijont the Game.
Two costly fumbles by Fullback San
ders, coupled with a poor pass by Center
rush Kel.er. were responsible for the de- f
feat. Multnomah had played the"Call
fornians to. a stand-still. When the score
was made the Multnomah men Had the
ball on their own 45-yard line and, on the
first down, the signal for a punt was
given. Sanders muffed the ball, and In
stead of falling on it, tried to recover it
for a kick. However, before he could
reach the leather, a Reliance man had
fallen on It, and then the fun began. In
three plays the Southerners pounded over
the Multnomah line for 15 yards, and
then a place-kick was attempted, but
the ball flew wide of Its mark and Into
the open arms of Kerrigan, who was
downed on his own 5-yard line. Sanders
then stepped back across his own goal
line and the signal was given for the fate
ful punt. Keller made a low pass. San
ders juggled with the pigskin sphere,
dropped it, and started to recover It. but
was too late. Albertson, Percy, and Col
lins had broken through the Multnomah
line. Albertson falling upon the cherished
ball, and scoring the only touchdown of
the game. While the players stood si
lently under the goal-posts, Wilson kicked
an easy goal.
Players Evenly Matched.
The playing In the first half was slight
ly in Multnomah's favor, and twice the
local clubmen were within scoring dis
tance of their opponents' goal-line. The
playing was confined to Reliance terri
tory, and kicking tactics 'were often re
sorted to. Sanders doing magnificent
work. In the second half, Multnomah
had two opportunities to score, but was
unable to make the necessary yardage.
During the few minutes preceding the
time the score was made, the ball was
In Multnomah's territory, but honors
were even so far as actual playing was
concerned. In the second half a regular
fusillade of punts was kept up by San
ders and Percy, the former easily dem
onstrating his superiority. However, the
Multnomah ends failed to take care of'
the many excellent punts, and little Vos
Burgh, who played in the back field for
Reliance, made numerous telling ad
