Fpokane, Wsiih., Jan. 4. If tbe Wash Jigton stale bowling league Is formed the Coeur d'Alene club ''will 'hang up a Jmndsome trophy to the Winner, the de ciding match, to be played in Spokane. Manager Patton says that the offer will he. made to the league to be fprtned."but him buslneM' doea 'not allow' him to de vote the time neoessary for Ha organl-atUn-and probably some one rtse will 1 appointed jto work up the organUa tlon. He says that the offer of the tro j I y , will, be 'made to.1 the ltgue, and hat the 'elub.. will, Kfand by Tlt at any limw. .8t now look 'a though there v. mild be plenty of clut in the vicinity ft Spokane to make a good league in t)il ftlon if the men 011 the -oat. do l.nt Uo take hold of the matter., At. the Coeur d'Alene bowling alley the men are bowling every da for the handsome gold medal to be given as a trophy to the winner of high average for 60 games. , The rules restrict '.tits playing In no way, but to provide that every man entering, the city champion ship shall have bowled at leant 5t games. As soon ati one 'fifty, la finished 1 the player may start on another and in crease his average if possible. , J. ;.(.y. It now ; loota as though the Coeur d'Alene team would not take, the Walla Walla trip that has been planned. Re ports from that town Are to the effect that the team there ia In a bad way, and that it ia open for purchase. It, is not stated whether the trouble is in mid management or lack of support. The local team is at present looking for other fields to conquer. From London Truth. '- ' ' ' Blr Blundell Maple has been, racing for the lat 20 years, and if any one denlred proof of the theory that, either breeding or buying horses for the turf Hi pure lottery, it would be fnnrM the fact -that be never owned a rt. class horse, although there was a lav- isrr ouuay. or money, based upon the ad vice Of many rnrt m. tii,.-i Maple bred and raced horses upon an cnui iiiuub . obis. una ingenious writer in a non-sporting paper deecrlbea him as having been one of the few men who made th turf pay. . when his stud ac counts have been made up from first to last there will, t apprehend, be a deficit of at least a quarter of a million. When he got into parliament his weak point was to retard himself nntmn .1.- ' - w J . Ul. turf. I remember asking him once as a ran wnetner - any owner ot homes could really make money in the long run by winning races and without betting on them. : He replied that he did not thins; -this nnti,i k,,. good deal might ' be made by buying .ci j uioi-iiMOB Biamons. -I'nen why, I asked, "do not these patrons of the turf An-nnV i'n.n,n.. .n.j uwotunv, iic inpiieu. flrst-clasa stallions cost a great deal of reaay money, ana this Is Just what they have. not got.".. , . . .' . . .. - 1. DEMOCRATS GATHER FOR IMPORTANT WORK Leaders' Present in New York and: Will Re 1 organize National Committee-The McClel ' lan Banquet' Tonight . -.'. (Journal Special Sorrice.) v. New York.. Jan. 4. While the pres ence of a score or more of Democratic national leaders in New Yorklt today is for the ostensible1 purpose of attending tonight's banquet in honor of Mayor McClellan, it ia no secret in political circles that the gathering of the party leaders Is due to considerations of far greater ' importance. A conference to discuss plans for reorganizing the Dem ocratlo, national committee is the real magnet that, has attracted the big meu of the' party; i,.. .'.'.- v.. iy Those'., in attendance include"' Such eminent party leaders ar ex-President Cleveland, . ex-Senator .David . B.' Hill. Judge Gray of Delaw'are, Congressman DeArmond of Missaurl ' and Congress man William A. Gaston1 of Maasachu setts. William C. Whitney, John G. Carlisle; August Belmont and : others who were connected with the triumphant Democracy of Grover Cleveland are also taking part. These leaders do not at tempt to conceal their intention to take the control of the national committee out of : the hands of the radical or Bryan element, which now controls it, and to' agree -among themselves on a candidate for chairman, - to succeed James K. Jones of Arkansas. That Senator Jones will not have charge of the forthcoming presidential campaign they regard as a certainty. New York is considered the important state to the Democratic party this year, and the Democratic leaders in the East believe. it is said, that a New York man should be made chairman of the committee. Friends .of Senator P. H. McCarren, the new Democratic boss of Brooklyn, say that he would have strong backing among the Democratic leaders of the East for the chairmanship. .Mr. Mc Carren is not yet even a member of the committee, but it was understood when he took charge of the Democratto cam paign in Brooklyn last October, sup- plantingvHugh'-McLaughlin, Jthat - he would.be elected a member, in place of Norman IT Mack of "Buffalo, thus be coming the. representative of New! York state; on . the national committee. '- - . McCarren is said to be the choice of Tammany for the chairmanship of the national committee, and it Is under stood : that Leader Murphy and . his friends will' work hard for his selec tion. . . Whether the Democrats through out the country .at large -can be suffi ciently impressed with-McCarren's 'fit ness for the place is a matter of doubt It is believed that' the southern and westerh Democrats would much pre fer a man better known to the country at large,, and it is more than possible that this sentiment is strong enough tor defeat the plans of McCarren support ers. - , . Aside ' from ' the . reorganization ' con ference, tonight's banquet at Sherry's will -be of national importance in itself. Mr. Cleveland's acceptance of an invli tation to speak Is taken io mean, that the banquet will mark the formal open ing of the Democratto ; national cam paign. There hfcs been a two-fold plan in the minds of the promoters of the banquet first,' to start, the national campaign along sagacious and conserva tive lines, and, second, to bring the new mayor .of New York into further na tional prominence, not that there is any intention of grooming him far the pres idential nomination this year, for that, in the mind a of the Democratic leaders, would .weaken the Tammany organiza tion" by taking Colonel McClellan from the mayor's chair. ' ' For his reason all of the best-known Democrats vof the United States, .men like Senator GoAnan of Maryland and Richard Oliier of Massachusetts, havt been sought as guests, and the speeches nlade tonight will purposely outline the most advisable lines of battle for the impending campaign. - ' FIRST GUN TO BE FIRED AT HASAMTO SSZTOB TOXXYESA EXPRESSES KZS TTEWg OX THB OOMDrO OOHTEST BETWEEW JAPAW AJTB USIA POBTXO.ITD JAPAVESX WOUXD OO HOKS to nave. , "War Is inevitable... The great mass of the people of Japan are clamoring for hostilities to begin.' But for : the firm stand of the conservative government, headed by Iota, blood would now be flow ing. He has maintained his position for peace under tremendous pressure. Unless the Russians open the-war, or make an official den which will obviate all possi bility of a peaceable adjustment of the questions involved, the government will probably allow the full time, up to Jan uary 10, given for the Russian answer, to expire before taking any action." Bo stated Z. Toklyeda, the editor of the Japanese newspaper In Portland, yester day. ' Mr. Toklyeda is well educated and thoroughly conversant . with the condi tions that confront his people. : , -BnsslaA Diplomacy a Fraud. In Speaking of the' basis of the seri ous controversy, he said: '.' ,' "Insincere was the advocating of the peace conference at The Hague, by the Russian emperor. He has two tongues. With one he spoke oily words about the white dove of peace to the representa tives of all nations. With the other he gave orders to prepare for war. His navy was increased; his standing army enlarged, fortifications erected, and to gain time he Is responsible for the dip lomatic hypocrisy Which, in the eyea of every power, has clouded the Integrity of the mammoth empire of the csar. , "The negotiations for the settlement of Manchurian problem between Japan and Russia have not been bona, fide as far as the Russians are concerned. They have all the way through recog nized nothing but their own selfish in terests, and ho , discrimination has been made between right and wrong. - This has been the history of the Russians for the last half century. She has broken her word in many , instances. Among those that have suffered from her treach ery are Poland, Persia, Turkey, Bulgaria, Afghanistan, China, and Japan. - Was s Deliberate Ue. . ' y-.lt f "Russia never Intended to carry out the terms of the treaty for the evacua tion of Manchuria," he continued. "Un der this agreement the first installment of trosps was to be removed In October, 1902. i This part of the contract was car ried out with great display. The soldiers left in a body, but others straggled back in .small bunches and the forces there were increased Instead of diminished. On April 8, 18S2, the date for the second evacuation, the Russians were, engaged in fortifying the strategic points, and have ever since been preparing for war and making promises to gain time, s "Manchuria has a population of nearly 6.000,000. It ia a race of fierce 'people that can put from 400,000 to ' 400.000 blood-thirsty and fanatical warriors in the field, and with these under the Rus sian flag, they could sweep over and con quer any part 'of Asia. , Confident of UltlxDaAp Tlotory. "Japan has right on her side. She has been patient to an extreme. Her foundation for war Is logical. She has been bulldozed, deceived and insulted by the Russian bear. She has only one hon orable course and that 1 to strike back. I am confident that Japan will be suc cessful in the end. The only drawback Is a lack of money, but under the cir cumstances 1 don't think there will be any trouble in getting all we need. We are preparedy - for a three-year ' war. Over 600,000 soldiers are in readiness, and If It comes to a show-down we are in a position to nearly doable this num ber. Our navy Is concentrated near the scene of the proposed warfare while that of Russia is broadly scattered. We can utilize almost our. entire fighting .force, while Russia must leave many at home to protect her from Invasion in case of complications resulting with other na tions. . .. . : "In my opinion the first roar of battle will be heard in the neighborhood of Masamto, o the coast of Korea. This Is a strategic point for the occupancy of which a hard fight will be. made by both sides. A great naval encounter Is what the Japanese anticipate ' In an en gagement of this kind they have no rears, and tninK that they have more than an equal chance.-. Admiral Thibay ama, one pt the fathers of the new Japa nese navy,- has stated: - 'I am willing to sacrifice my life and half of the Japa nese fleet if we can win.', "Admiral Io. who is of the same call bre as Fighting Bob Evans' of the United States navy. In the Chinese war sunk several vessels under great odds. He is confident that he will have no trouble defeating the clumsy Russian ships if he meets them, and Is anxious for the fray. '"Field Marshal Yamagata' and- Chief of Staff Oyama are experienced military leaders and have no fears of making a brilliant showing Some of the best of ficers from the .different 'nations of the world hold commissions in both the Jap anese army and navy, and with modern equipment, there is no danger of being outclassed at any stage of the game.. Would Ktlp, Mother Country. 'Thousands of. the Japanese race bow living on the Pacific coast of the United States would rush to the rescue of. the mother country in case their services are required. In Portland at least 100 would start without delay if a call came, Fortunately these .men are not needed as Japan has more military material now than she can press into practical service. Ail of the local natives of Japan are tak ing a deep interest in the trouble, is the conflict means . much to the 'nation. - In the last few years the country has made remarkable progress and gained the ad miration of the whole world. That she now has the sympathy of all the powers there is no question, and that the cause or right will eventually be triumphant we feel confident." a vaosgTzov to snnnnr-szDZxs. , From the Brooklyn Eagle. Are. you superstitious T Consider carefully before answering even to your self.: Ia this age of enlightenment there are very few frank enough to admit that we take seriously any of those -vague feelings of Impending good or bad for tune which all of us have at times, and yet there are hardly any of us whose lives are not to a very considerable ex tent controlled and guidejl by them. Did you ever notice in your life days when everything seemed, to sro wrong?. and other , days when things seemed of their own accord to "come your way!" Even the most logical and level-beaded of us have had these experiences con stantly. Some of us attribute the feel ings and the procession of event to some higher law, some undiscovered relation between things which appear unrelated, some unsuspected working of the law of causation which produces a clearly per ceptible ebb nd flow of 'good and bad fortune, and, baaing our belief on this vague explanation, deny our superstition. But are we not Just as truly supersti tious as the, negro mammy who sees the new moon over her left shoulder and at once predicts ill fortune to herself and her family? - -,?,,. .. : ... This is not an attempt to explain away the things that are inexplicable. We are slowly but surely finding out the facts wtilch bear on good or evil for tune, and one of the first and most im portant factors ia the subjective state of mind that is to say, our personal at titude toward the outside world. Here is a hint for sunny-siders: vLef your first waking thought be a rood- natured one. Be considerate and agree able to the other members of the fam ily before breakfast It Is an old saying. "Well begun Is half done," but let sunny-siders try this method of "getting out of the right side of the bed" and no tice how much oftener the good days will follow. It won't always come that way, but, merely as an experiment and sug gestion, it's .worth a trial. ' ... - Preferred Stock Canned Ooods. . . Allen A Iwls' Best Brand. .J .
