CHIEFS OF NATION THERE West Point Holds Advantage Throughout, SEVERAL PLAYERS HURT Fnils.delpb.ia the Scene at Brilliant Assemblage, Wliich Witnesses Fierce Straggle Between Sol diers and Sailors. PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 29. In the fourth contest on Franklin Field be tween the football elevens representing the Army and Navy today, the young tars -were decisively beaten by the score of 22 to 8. The first half ended -with the score at 10 to 8, In favor of the West Point men. The latter had made two touchdowns, neither of. which resulted in a goal, while Annapolis scored a touch down on a sensational run of 62 yards by Strassburger, and forced Daly back of his own goal line for a safety. In the second half ' West Point's goal was never In danger, while the soldiers duplicated their performance of the first half and kicked both goals. As a football contest It may, without opeaking disparagingly of either team, be called mediocre, but as a society event It was a gigantic success. There were distinguished guests from both fighting departments of the Government, and prominent citizens from nearly every sec tion of the United States. Ex-President and Mrs. Cleveland occupied a box on the Army side, and close to them sat Miss Alice Roosevelt, on whom every at tention was showered. The box occupied by Mies Roosevelt was directly in front of the section occupied by the West Point cadets. Her sympathies were plainly with the Army doj-s, but, perchance as a balm for the Navy lads, she was be comingly attired In a navy-blue gown. The President was prevented from attend ing the" game, because of the press of of ficial business, and Secretary Root, of the Army Department. w,as unable 'to be pres ent because of the serious illness of his father-in-law. He was represented by First Assistant Secretary Sanger, who looked after the Washington guests. In a box closa to that occupied by Miss Roosevelt were Major-Generals Young and Chaffee and Adjutant-General Cor bin. They were the guests of Clement A. Griscom, of this city. General Chaffee was particularly elated over the success of the cadets. General John C. Bates, commander of the Department of the Miawuri, also occupied a box. Between the halves Miss Roosevelt held an Im promptu reception, and shook hands with many friends. A great crowd congregated in front of the box, anxious to catch a glimpse of the daughter of the President. At the conclusion of the first half Gen erals Corbln and Chaffee walked across the field to the Navy side and condoled with Secretary Moody, who occupied a box with Congressmen Adams, of Pennsyl vania, and Gillette, of Massachusetts. In a box adjoining that of Secretary Moody were Admiral and Mrs. Sands, and their daughter. Celc7ratlns the Victory. While all were waiting for the reappear ance on the field of the contending forces, the two bands of.the Army and Navy were working overtime on songs which had been arranged for the occasion by the supporters of the respective football elevens. "Mr. Dooley." "Good Old Sum mer Time." "Under the Bamboo Tree," and other popular airs were torn to shreds by the musicians. The scene at the close of the game was thrilling and spectacular. At the sound of the referee's whistle announcing the close of the contest, the supporters of both institutions rushed to the soggy field and time and again the bands marched around the big grounds, followed by the students cheering. Finally the West Pointers halted in front of the east goal. A cadet climbed the goal post and planted tin Army flag at the top of the 20-foot upright. Not to be outdone by their vic torious brethren, the Navy boys made a rush for the same goal, and In a moment the orange and blue flags floated from the top of the other goal post. Trere were one or two sensational runs. Strassburger's GO-yard dash for a touch down was brilliant, and Daly's running back of kicks was little short of marvel ous, but the safety of the Nay was due to bad judgment on his part. He caught the ball on West Point's goal line, and, notwithstanding that both Skoul and Whiting were on him. he started to roll the ball out. As a consequence he was pushed back and thrown behind the goal. It was 1:0S when the Navy squad carne on the field. Five minutes later the Army eleven appeared. Both teams were given a rousing send-off by their supporters. Wrightington was chosen referee and John Minds umpire. West Point won the toss and chose the east goal, with the wind at Its back. Captain Belknap kicked off at 2:10 P. M. Daly Immediately punted back, and It was the sailors' ball cn the Army's 43-yard line. Belknap again punted and It was then the-Navy's ball. Plunges Into the line by Farley and Strassburger failed to gain, and then Strassburger tried a goal from the field from the Army s 25-yard line. The ball went wide and was West Point's ball. Daly punted on the first line-up, and tjie Navy secured the ball in midfleld. Belknap at once punted to Daly on West Point's 25-yard line. West Point Scores. Both sides braced, and an exchange of punts made it the soldiers' ball on the sailors' 50-yard line. Terrific line buck ing by Bunker, Hackett and Torney forced the ball to the Navy's 10-yard line. Bunker plowed through center for five yards, and Torney made three more in the same place. In the next line-up Bunker carried the ball over for a touch down. Daly punted out, but Hackett failed to heel the scratch. West Point 5, Navy 0. After the kick off the Army forced its way to, the Navy's 50-yard line, where the ball was lost on a fumble. Belknap punted. Hackett got the ball and ran 32 yards for a touchdown. Torney missed the goal. Score. West Point 10, Navy 0. On an exchange of kicks it was the Navy's ball on her own 40-yard line. After two attempts Belknap kicked to West Point's 25-yard line. On the first line-up Torney' fumbled and Strassburger, of the Navy, fell on the ball. After two at tempts to gain Strassburger tried for a goal from the field from West Point's 30 yard line. Daly caught the ball and started to run with It, but was forced over for safety. Score, West Point. 10. Navy 2. Driving Against Xavy Line. Belknap kicked to Daly on West Point's 15-yard line, and Daly brought it back 20 yards. Torney gained five yards and then kicked to the Navy's 35-yard v line. Belknap returned the kick, and It was West Point's ball on her own 40-yard line. After trying the Navy center for no gain, Daly kicked and the ball went to the Navy on its 20-yard line. Strass burger got around left end for 15 yards, and then Belknap was forced to kick. Daly caught the ball for West Point on its 40-yard line. After gaining 15 yards by line plunges Daly got around right end on a double pass for seven yards. Then began another drive against the Navy line. Bunker and Torney carried the ball to the Navy's 30-yard line, where they lost it for holding. Belknap then punted to Daly on West Point's 4S-yard line. Daly heeled the catch, but was thrown, and West Point was given 15 yards for the foul tackle. Daly then kicked to the Navy's 20-yard line. On the first line-up the Navy fumbled, and it was West Point's ball. Fritz was injured and Oak went to cen ter. Center bucks and a mass on tackle LIEUTENANT ROBERT E. . PEARY. EXPLORER SAYS NORTH carried the ball within three yards of the Navy's goal. Bunker struck the cen ter for two yards, and on the next line- j up tne Dan was snovcu over ior a toucn down, and Daly kicked goal. Scores: West Point 22, Navy 8. Final Straggle. Belknap kicked to Daly on West Point's five-yard line, and the little quarterback ran the ball to West Point's 20-yard line. West Point then carried the ball 15 yards on line plunges, when Daly kicked to the Navy's 40-yard line. Grady was Injured and Michael took his place. Belknap kicked to West Point s 2o-yard line, and Daly got around left end for SO yards. Bunker, Torney and Hackett then carried the ball to the Navy's 15-yard line by straight line plunges. The game closed at this point with the ball In West Point's possession. Score: West Point 22, Navy S. The LIne-Up. The teams lined up as follows: West Point. Position. Annapoli3.

POLE GAN BE WON Explorer Peary Tells How to Do l START FROM SMITH SOUND There Is Central Point From "Which All Arctic Expeditions Must Go Area of Known Territory In creases Year by Year, WASHINGTON, Nov. 29. Lieutenant Robert E. Peary, .the Arctic explorer, de livered an address tonight before the Na tional Geological Society on the subject of Arctic exploration. After discussing the POLE CAN BE REACHED. Arctic explorations of the past, Mr. Peary, speaking of the future, said: "In spite, of the amount of work which has been done in the North Polar regions during the post few years, the work Is not complete. The archipelago of Franz Josefland has, It is true, been delimited and its northern terminus removed from the field of uncertainty. The lands north of the American archipelago and west of Ellesmereland have also been delimited as to their northern coasts. The north ern terminus of Greenland archipelago has been rounded, and America holds the record tor the most northerly land In the world, the northern point of the largest of the North Polar land groups. But there arc still several gaps to be filled before North Polar work can be' consid ered as finished. "And the head of the Smith Sound gate way to the Pole is the central point from which to close this work. It is the point from which can be reached and deter mined that stretch of still unknown coast on the eastern shore of Greenland, reach ing from Cape Bismarck to Cape Parish; the point from which can be reached and determined the Interior 'ramifications of the great fjord systems of Northern Greenland: the point from which can be reached and determined the gap in the coast line on the west coast of Grlnnell Land, between Aldrich's farthest and Sverdrup's farthest: the point from which the practically unknown land along the eastern side of Kennedy and Robeson Channels can be reached: and the point from which the Pole Itself can and will be reached. "It may seem to Indicate overconfidencc to state boldly that the Pole can be reached, and yet It Is a fact, even though the struggle for It has been going on un successfully for years and years. Each time we have come a little "nearer; each time we have learned a little more, and I say to you here tonight that it Is not an impossibility; that it can be done; that it is no more difficult than many of the great projects which we see being pushed to completion every day, and which re quire money, persistence, hard work and some ability to bring, to full fruition. "The man who has the proper party, the proper equipment and the proper ex perience, and can start fresh from the northern coai-t of Grlnnell land with the earliest returning light in February, will hold within his grasp the last great geo graphical prize that the earth has to of fera prize that ranks with the prize which Columbus won and will win for himself and his countrymen a fame that will last as long as human life exists upon the" globe. Granted this, shall we let oth ers win the prize from us? "Within" the past five years the United States leaped to the front among the na tions. Our Industrial development and wealth have startled the world. Our In fluence In diplomacy was never so great. Our men of science hold the attention of Europe. Our battle-ships show the high est percentage of effectiveness. Our yachts win race after race from the high est foreign talent. If there are any other prizes to be secured, or any other races to be wen, shall we bo untrue to our Anglo-Saxon heritage and birthright of love of contest and adventure, and let some one else capture the trophies? Or shall we win them ourselves?? The North Pole Is the biggest prize the world has yet to offer; the race for It Is the great est race on earth. The winning of the in ternational yacht race is for today only; the winning of the Pole Is for all time. "It should and must be won by Amer ican dollars, American energy and Amer ican ability." Kot O'Donnell's Wife. CHICAGO. Nov. 29. The police are In vestigating the death of a young woman said to hive been Miss Laura J. Patee, of Springfield, who died today in the Grand Pacific Hotel, In company with a man she came to the hotel Thanksgiving day. They were registered under the names of "C. J. O'Donnell and wife, Duluth. Minn." Early this morning the man sent word to the office of the hotel that a doctor wag needed In their room at once, as the woman with him wps dying! Dr. String field, the house physician, hurried to the room and upon his arrival found the womanJust breathing her last. There were no marks of violence upon her body, and appearances go to prove the story of the man that she died of heart disease. The police were notified at once and the man taken into custody.

A shooting scrape which nearly ended In a murder took place, shortly after 10 o'clock last night in the Midway aloc on Everett street near Third, between col ored men. J. H. Boldin, who aiys that he was gambling, in the saloon, got the worst of It. His right eye Is nearly closed, he was otherwiys battered about the face, and he asserts that there la a bullet In hl3 right leg. He states that he was shot by John Johnson, who denies the truth of this statement. It seems that Johnson and Boldin had words over the ownership of a $10 gold piece, and had a fist fight. In which John son was the victor. Boldin went out and came back with a loaded revolver and fired three or four shots in Johnson's direction, but missed him. Johnson's friends came to hin assistance with their revolvers, and suddenly Boldin dropped, saying: "I've had enough. I'm shot In the right leg." Drawn by the sound of the shooting, Policemen Bailey and Gibson rushed in and sent Boldin in the patrol wagon to the police station, where his wounds were treated, but the bullet he said was in his right leg could not be found. Just then Johnson came into the police station, accompanied by his bondsman, and gave himself up. He insisted that he had only struck Boldin with hl3 hands, and had not shot him. Johnson was then re leased on $100 bail. Not to be outdone In the matter, Boldln's friends also came to his rescue, and an Everett-street saloon keeper gave bonds for Boldin'3 appearance at the Municipal Court. Boldln's wounds will be treated today at the Good Samari tan Hospital. Most of the parties con cerned are members of rival secret organ izations. AMERICANS BETTER OFF. Mosely's Commission Compares Con-, ditlons With British Workmen's. NEW YORK. Nov. 29 Alfred Mosely, the retired English merchant, who with a number of workmen has made a six weeks' tour of this country to study industrial conditions here and In Canada, says: "Our trip, on the whole, was eminently iatlofactory. We were all Impressed with the thorough- up-to-dateness of everything we saw. Another thing that impressed us was the courtesy and frankness of Ameri can employers and the pains they were willing to take to explain the methods in use at their respective factories and worka." AH the delegates will report their im pressions to the unions of their respective trades on their return to England. Ter rence Flynn. of-the Tailors' Union, eaid: "Counting the extra outlay in rent and clothe? for food and sll elsi are cheaper the American workman is 25 par cent better off than th- workman in England. On th 3. whole Is -far better cared for in respect of good sanitation, general comfort and bett .- equipment than we are,, and on the'whol- ho lives as long or -longer in harness than the English workman. This 'too-old-at-50' principle does not pre vail among the workmen, wherever elsa It; may be found. We speak from observa tion. Here pauperism or penury In old age Is almost unknown. The records of the English workhouses speak for them selves.' TO DEDICATE THE FAIR. St. Louis CommlsNion Prepares Pro grammeWomen's Offer Rejected. ST. LOUIS, Nov. 29.

"General Wallace was out rldlnc In his automobile. Tho day was raw and he caught cofd. I think he will be out again In a day or two." has delivered his award in favor of the United States. He appraises the damages In the case of the American schooner C. H. White at $32,-44: in the case of the James Hamilton Lewis at $23,588; the Kate and Anna at S10.4SS, and the Cape Horn Pigeon at $3S,730. Professor Asser delivered his Judgment in the arbitration court in the presence of the representatives of the United States and of Russia and others, includ ing the Foreign Minister of the Nether lands. Dr. Van Lyndena. In giving his reason for the award. Professor Asser held that the schooner White was seized outside Russian territorial waters, and that the Russian contention that a war ship of one nation was entitled to pursue beyond, the boundaries of Its territorial seas a ship of another nation guilty of Illegal action within those waters was un tenable. The arbitrator declared that tho jurisdiction of the state could ,not extend beyond ltb territorial waters except by special treaty. Tho seizure and confiscation of the C. H. White and the imprisonment of her crew was therefore Illegal, and Russia was condemned to pay the C. H. White $32,444 with interest at C per cent. Th8 dispute was the subject of pro tracted negotiations, resulting in an agree ment In 1903 between Count Lamsdorf, acting Minister of Foreign Affairs of Rus sia and Herbert H. D. Pierce, United Stater? charge d'affaires at St. Petersburg, designating Professor As3er,. a member of the council of state of the Netherlands, as arbitrator. Professor Asser decided June 30, 1902, that tho average annual catch should form the ba sis on which dumage should be awarded, which was exactly the conten tion advanced by Mr. Pierce, who was the advocate for the United States Govern ment. The decision carried with it the opinion of the court that Russia must pay damages and only left for further argument the Fiim due in each' case. The case of the James Hamilton Lewis 13 governed by tho. same decision, while In the case of tho Cape Horn Pigeon Pro fessor Asser, in fixing the damages at $58,750 and the Interest at 6 per cent, held that the general principle that damageo should Include the prospective profits of which the victim had been deprived ap plied usually to international litigation. In the case of the Kate and Anna the arbitrator decided that the captain could have ceased seal hunting and that there fore Russia was not responsible for the prospective profits. Both the James Hamilton Lewis and Kate and Anna are given C per cent inter est on the amount awarded. ' STORY OF THE SEIZURES. Sealers Captured Off Copper Island Victoria Claims Still Pending. VICTORIA. B. C, Nov. 29. The seiz use of the American schooners Cape Horn Pigeon and C. H. White, of San Fran cisco, and J. H. Lewis and Kate and Anna, of Seattle, for which, The Hague arbitrators have awarded damages to the owners In the sums Ftatcd In the As sociated Press dispatches from The Hague, were all seized by the Russian cruisers Zabianta and Kotlck in 1S92 when off the Copper Inlands. Two Victoria schooners were seized at the same time, the owners of the two having been recom pensed In 1S9S by Russia for the seizure, but the claims of the others, together with that of one seized In 1888. are still pending. As tholr cases are exactly simi lar to that of the four American schoon- ers whose claims have been awarded, the Victoria scalers are looking forward to Eritaln securing recompense for their schooner, skins and loss of liberty. Of the four schccr.evs, three submitted tr. their captors without a struggle, but the James Hamilton Lewis, formerly the schooner Anna Brcck. of Victoria, which was in charge of Captain Alex McLean, of San Francisco, made quite ' a fight. Captain Dan McLtan, his brother, had made a raid on the Copper Island rooker ies in which an old man was killed and the Russians were looking for him. when they came across the James Hamilton Lewis, commanded by his brother. Tho Aleut ordered the James Hamilton Lewis to heave to. but the San Francisco sealer refused, saying that ha was in neutral water. The cruiser fired a shot across his bows, but McLean kept his vessel go ing, and, notwithstanding that seveicl shots were fired, the James Hamilton Lewis continued to run from the cruiser, which then steamed across her bow3, carrying away her forcrigging, and, as she swung alongside, a. number of Russians swarmed on board and took possession. Still McLean did not give in. He took a chain and attempted to throw it over the Aleut's propellor to disable the Rus sian vessel, but tho attempt failed. Six Americans were left on the schooner and a prize crew of Russians took her to Petropaulofskl, where the remainder of the Americans were taken by' the Aleut, and all thrown Into prison, together with the sealera from the other three schoon ers which had been seized shortly be fore by the Zabiaka, and all the vessels were left on the beach to rot. The Ameri cans were finally released and sent to Corea, and thence by a Russian vcs-sel to Nagasaki, whence ' they were taken to San Francisco. The Victoria pchooners were seized dur ing July and August of the same year by the same cruisers when off the Cop per Islands, and only. two of the British schooners taken prisoner in 1S92 received any compensation, these being the Willie McGowan and the Ariel, each of which got $21,000. The other schooners seized were the Carmolite and Captain, Charles Hackett & Co.. of this city, with tho Maria, Rcsie. Olsen. Vancouver Belle and the Araunah. All but the Vancouver Belle were owned In this city. All the schconers were tnke.n to Vladivostok or Pctrepaulofokl, where their crews were subjected to the roughest kind of treat ment. The cases against Russia, both American and local, were worked up for the most part In this city. DETAILS OF THE AWARD. . Good Allowance Made for Imprison ment nnd Loss of Catch. WASHINGTON. Nov. 29. The State De partment was advised thio afternoon of the .award of Profemor Asser in the ar bitration of the claimji of the American sealers against the Russian government, its Information being to the effect that the total award was 5101,203, with 6 per cent interest. It appears that the allow ance In the Kate and Anna cases was the lump sum of $148 for 124 skins.

Ship Subsidy Bill Has Good Chance to Pass. NO REVISION OF THE TARIFF Bnt President Will Urge Crention of a Commission Cnlwn Reciproc ity Assnrcd nt Sliort Session, Besrinninpr Tomorrow. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash ington, Nov. 9. The trusts are to be at tacked In the short session of Congress, which meets Monday. A prohibitive tax placed on the watered stock of corpora tions, this tax to be levied and collected by the machinery provided for the col lection of the Internal revenues of the Government, Is a remedy proposed to meet the trust evil, which Representative Hepburn, of Iowa, believes would anni hilate that class of combinations formed not for the legitimate purpose of trade or commerce, but for the sole purpose of making money out of stock values. "And this Is exactly the form of trust that causes all of the evil." declared Colonel Hepburn. In discussing the sub ject with a reporter. "When you take away the opportunity of the professional promoter of getting rich simply through the organization of a trust, and the as surance of enormous quantities of stock based on nothing but the visionary dividend-earning capacity of the proposed en terprise, you will at once put an effectual end to such organizations. "In my opinion a prohibitive tax on the stock of every corporation which is not representative of substantial value would wipe such corporations out of existence, and when that Is done combinations would be made only for the legitimate trade advantages which could be secured. Combinations of the latter class In my opinion are not harmful. "As an example, take Mr. Morgan's steamship merger. What motive did Mr. Morgan have In engineering this gigantic scheme through if it were not for tho great profit he could derive, not through the legitimate business of shipping, but through the Issuance of stock based on the combination? "The motive for the railroad mergers will be found to be the same, and It Is this gambling on the possibilities of enormous profits which becomes at once the money-making end of the trust and not the legitimate earnings which should be the real cause for the combination and the real source of the profit." Antl-Trnst Sentiment. During the pa3t few weeks Attorney General Knox has been beset by Senators and Representatives who have prepared bills to "cure the trust evil." These bills range from amendments to the Sherman anti-trust law to drastic and Improbable measures.
