The Commercial team hoped the sec ond same would take place at Astoria and there Is much disappointment here In consequence. It Is believed by local enthusiasts that Multnomah would be defeated on the Astoria grid Iron and felt that Multnomah shares this belief. The Portland Journal has the following to say of the coming match: The Astoria football eleven Is anx ious for another go with the Multno mah team, and If Captain Stockton can see his way clear to bring his squad to this city on December 3. the local clubmen will gladly accommodate the Astoria fishermen. In his letter to Manager Watklns, Captain Stockton stated that owing to the closeness of the Astorla-Multnomaa game on Oc tober S another game would prove which eleven was really the better one, Inasmuch as both teams have im proved in playing since the first match. It would be inconvenient for Multno mah to go away from home any more this season on account of the expense and time Incurred in the California trip, but the clubmen would be pleas ed to meet the Astorians once more this year. "The Astorians lived up to their reputation in the first game and gave Multnomah a hard struggle, and If there were another match the specta tors would certainly see championship football. "Multnomah practiced again last evening and the work was very satis factory. Harry Corbett was out lor the first time and showed up in old time form at left half. The work last night was fast and the coaches were delighted with the showing." for volunteers came through the Japa nese counsel In this city. At the con sulate, however, there is discreet and Oriental silence. "It Is a matter for sevret." said one of the secretaries enigmatically. WOULD NOT PRODUCE LETTERS.

STEP TOWARD GREAT REFORM SPEAKS ON IMPERIALISM. Finds No Support for Arguments in Its Favor. New York. Oct 27. Ex-Assistant Attorney-General James M. Brecken in an address to the republican club at Princeton university, has discussed the work of the department of Justice In enforcing the Sherman antl-trust law, and talked at some length on "Imperialism." "I fall to find in any portion of the the constitution or In any of the tradl tions of the fathers," he said, "that the Pacific coast was to be 'all and end all' of our national career'. He who would forever keep the public In her swadling clothes should first convince us that If he were president of the most powerful nation In the world that he would advise it to stand aside for lesser and weaker powers."

San Francisco, Oct 27. Patriotism Is a Japanese Instinct bred in the bone. Today over 200 Japs sailed on the China to fight In the war.

Also they paid their own passage across the ocean or when they could not do this, friends paid it for them. The emperor had asked for volun teers. Over 500 young men answered the call. ' Two hundred sailed today and 300 more volunteers are impatiently wait ing for the next steamer to Japaa It has been said that the Mikado's government sent letters to relatives of Japanese In America, requesting them to call the American residents home.

A local Chinese stated yesterday that the edict of the Chinese Reform Association that queues must be cut oft had caused much discussion In Chinatown. It appears that the rule Is intended to apply only to members of the association. The Information reaches the local Chinese colony through the San Francisco Daily News, a Chinese publication. The reform as sociation numbers many well educat ed Chinese among Its members and the proposal meets with favor among those who were seen yesterday. They all say the wearing of queues Is womanish and all would favor short hair. Pending receipt of oftlclal ad vices queues will be worn. It Is sold by leading Chinese . here that. If members of the association obey the edict, practically all other Chinese will also cut oft their queues. The reform association has for its. ob ject complete change of administration in China. The present dynasty Is non progressive, and the reformers seek Its overthrow. If they ever : succeed they will establish a good school ays tern, build railroads and otherwise strive to emulate the Internal conduct of the more enlightened powers. The association Is made up principally of Chinese living abroad, and they will set an example for their countrymen at home to follow. , "We will be perfectly satisfied to cut off our queues," said a prominent Chinese yesterday. "The queue Is too much like the headdress of a woman to suit us, and Astoria's Chinese would gladly, welcome the change. Any movement looking to the advance ment of China will be encouraged, for It is certain the country will never be come great or prosperous until many of the present customs are abolished.''
