THE MORNING OREGONIAN, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 30, 1901. ARMY AGAINST THE NAVY WEST POIXT AND ANNAPOLIS WILL FIGHT IT OUT ON GRIDIRON- FreRldent Roosevelt "Will Witness The Game, Which Will Be Played at Philadelphia. PH1L.ADKL.PHIA, Nov. 29. The football warriors ot West Point and Annapolis are arriving here today for their annual con test on the University of Pennsylvania's athletic rteJd tomorrow. Nearly every train from the north, eouth and west that came in during the afternoon and evening brought scores of persons, -who, with the President of the United States, will watch vo. naAPts do hattta on the srridiron. All the prominent hotels of the city are crowded tonight with omcers ana ouier officials of the Army and Navy. Among them are mon who have figured promi nently m the Government service, and they are Just as enthusiastic over the event of tomorrow aa Is the sturdy "plebe" of either West Point or Annapo lis. President Roosevelt and members of his Cabinet, accompanied by their wives, will not arrive until shortly before the time for the beginning of the game, which Is scheduled for 2 P. M. The largest crowd that has ever seen the Army and Navy clash In football is expected to be on ITranklln Field at the kick-off. A couple of inches of snow covers the scene tonight, and it Is likely that the lot of the spectators will be a bit uncomfort able, as the snow Is melting, which means damp ground and wet seats. The playing field, however. Is In splendid condition, tne University having taken the precaution of covering the ground with salt hay be fore the snow began falling. The announcement that the President would be on hand had the effect of mak ing the demand for tickets an enormous one. The 24,000 cards of admission were divided between the two academies and the university, and distributed gratis by them. Fifteen thousand applicants have been refused, so great has been the de mand. Notwithstanding the precautions taken, hundreds of tickets found their way Into the hands of scalpers, who are selling them tonight at fancy prices. The Navy team was the first to arrive today, the men, 22 In number, reaching here at 2 o'clock. They were In charge of Lieutenant-Commander A. W. Grant, and were accompanied by half a dozen coach es, all of them ex-Princeton players. Shortly after their arrival they were tak en to Franklin Field, and In the snow were put through signal drill. Tonight the men were given their liberty, but were or dered to be indoors at 9 o'clock, and in bed by 10. The Army squad numbered 45. They ar rived at 6 o'clock. In charge of Captain Richmond P. Davis. After dinner the whole squad was marched through the principal streets by Trainer Temple, for "a hftlf hour. Tomorrow morning the men will be taken to the Philadelphia Country Club grounds, for final signal practice. The outcome of the game seems to be a foregone conclusion, if the words of the managers of the respective teams are a criterion. Cadet Porterfleld, of the Navy, said: "We expect to lose, but hope to die fighting." Cadet Mitchell, of the Army, was more cautious, saying: "The team Is in good shape, and we Intend to win if possible." Two special trains will arrive about noon tomorrow from West Point, bringing the Army corps, numbering about 400 ca dets and several hundred followers. The Annapolis cadets, 300 In all, with a nu merous following, will come about the same time. The cadets will return to their respective academies Immediately after the game. The line-up tomorrow will be as follows: West Point. Position. Annapolis. Farnsworth LE Whiting Doe Lr Rcld Riley L3 Carpenter Boyers C. Fretz Goodspeed RG Belknap Bunker P.P. .". Adams McAndrew .J RE Soule Daly Q-B McNair Cased (Capt.)....LHB Freyer Hackett RHB Land Graves F-B (Capt.) Nichols WANTS A RETURN MATCH. McGovern's Manager Posts 92500 for Another Fight With Corhett. NEW YORK. Nov. 29. In sporting cir cles here nothing was talked of today more than the defeat of Terry McGovern by Young Corbett in Hartford yesterday. This afternoon Sam Harris. McGovern's manager, posted $2500 to bind another match, the time and place to be at the -vlll of Young Corbett. In an interview this afternoon Harris said: "In order to get a return match with Young Corbett Terry will agree to knock him out before the limit of 20 or 25 rounds Is reached, or forfeit the entire purse. Now, If Young Corbett thinks he is McGovern's master, he will cover the forfeit which I have placed here in reputable hands, and If he refuses, the public can easily see who Is the better man. I don't wish to take any of the credit that is due to Young Corbett over his great victory, but I still Insist that the result of the fight was due to a fluke. When McGovern was put down In the first round his head came In contact with the boarded floor ring and this so stunned him that he was in a dazed condition thereafter. My man McGovern had all the better of the mill up to this time and had the ring been padded there would have been another story to tell. In delivering the last blow. Young Cor bett did not realize himself that he had hit Terry with effect, as his head was down and he was swinging his hands wildly. It was lucky enough to be a winning blow and what I consider a chance one. "I am positive that McGovern did not show his true form in this contest and am willing to accept the proposition of James C. Kennedy, manager and match maker of the Twentieth Century Athletic Club of San Francisco, who has offered a purse of J10.000 for the men to meet again at his club. I am quite willing that Terry shall meet him again, the same conditions to maintain, and would prefer to have the winner take .all. I am not blowing and want to be fair In this matter so as to give Corbett all cred it for his victory, and In the making of a new contract I will give him all the time he desires to rest up before fighting Terry again. I will wager as much as $25 000 on the side that In case the men meet again Terry will win. I notice that it has been published that Corbett has won the feather-weight championship, but this Is not true. McGovern defeated George Dixon for the title of feather weight champion, the limit for which is 122 pounds, and when Terry won It he turned the scales at only 118, and he Is now ready at all times to defend his championship honors at the limit, 122 pounds, against any one." Tom Sharkey has taken charge of Dave Sullivan, the feather-weight pugilist, and today Issued a challenge to Young Cor bett. Sharkey says he Is willing to bet $2500 or $5000 on the side. Protest Agrainxt the Fipjht. HARTFORD, Conn., Nov. 29. It Is an nounced today that Monday the State Law and Order League will hold a meet ing in this city to discuss yesterday's prizefight between Terry McGovern and "Young Corbett." The league will listen to a report by Rev. Harold Pattison, of the First Baptist Church, and Colonel Charles A. Jewell, president of the Hart ford Y. M. C. A., who were present at the match as delegates of the league. It Is said that this report will characterize the bout as a "brutal affair, a disgrace to Hartford, and degrading." It Is also added that a legislative bill looking to ward the abolition of such contests will be considered. Jenkins Turns Papillst. CLEVELAND, Nov. 29. Tom Jenkins, the champion wrestler. intends to turn pugilist, and tonight Issued a challenge to meet James J. Jeffries In a gloye con test for the world's championship and a reasonable side bet. COLLEGE ATHLETICS. Step Tovrard the Elimination of Pro fessionalism. CHICAGO, Nov. 29. A long step toward the elimination of professionalism from college athletics was taken today by the faculty representatives of the interna tional college conference, who held an all day's session here today. The fol lowing rule was passed: "No student Is eligible to compete In a college team who plays In so-callsd amateur, semi-professional or professional baseball games where gate money ts charged or where prizes, premiums or purses are offered." Whether the rule is retroactive was not settled by the committee, and after the meeting It was announced that'this phase of the matter had not been thought of or discussed. It was voted to discourage as far as possible prolonged absences from college on tours. The bicycle event was dropped from all the programmes of college ath letic meets In the future. A rule was passed that the limit of four years in college athletics, beyond which a student is not eligible to contest, means four years In the aggregate, and not four years on any one team.

MISS STONE IS ALIVE. Bandits Decide Not to Kill the Cap. tlves on Any Pretext "Whatever. SOFIA, Nov. 29. With reference to the reports ot the death of Miss Ellen M. Stone .the government holds that If the brigands, exasperated by the delay, have murdered Miss Stone. Mr. Dickinson, the diplomatic agent of the United States, is responsible for the delay, and not the Government of Bulgaria. The latter has not Interfered with Mr. Dickinson's emis saries, nor did the government move troops after Mr. Dickinson opened com munication with the brigands. According to a letter dated Dubnltza, November 2S, Miss Stone and Mme. Tsilka are still alive. The letter In ques tion further says that at a recent meet ing of the committee held In Dubnltza it was definitely decided not to kill the pris oners upon any pretext whatever. Never theless, the committee insisted upon the payment of the full amount of the ran som. A naive suggestion Is current in polit ical circles here to the effect that the United States force Turkey to pay the remainder of the ransom, and as soon as tho prisoners are in safely, force Bul garia to punish those persons guilty of their abduction. The Brigands' Object. CONSTANTINOPLE, Nov. 28. (Thurs day.) The report that Miss Ellen M. Stone and her companion, Mme. Tsilka are dead, is not confirmed. Previous sim ilar reports have invariably proved to be without foundation, and It Is supposed that the brigands are circulating such rumors with the object of exciting the friends of the captives in the hope of ex acting the full amount of ransom de manded. Creed Revision. WASHINGTON. Nov. 29. The sub committee engaged In the preliminary work of revision of the Presbyterian creed was In session again today. The proceedings consisted mostly of Inter change of Individual views of the mem bers. Partridge's Appointment Announced. NEW YORK. Nov. 29. Mayor-elect Seth Low announced today the appointment ot Colonel John N. Partridge as Police Com missioner of Greater New York. Colonel Partridge Is now State Superintendent of Public Works. Webfoot Hard Wheat Floor Is milled in the moat Q$2ffoved manner. WHEAT GOING TO UTAH SPECIAL RATE MADE TO RELIEVE THE SHORTAGE THERE. Will Expire With the Year Will Cover a Shipment of About Three Trninlonds. SALT LAKE CITY, Nov. 29. Local mill ers and wheat and flour dealers were made happy today by the announcement that a 40-cent rate on Oregon wheat had been agreed upon by the Oregon Short j Line and the O. R. & N. Companies. At this rate wheat grown in the Palouse country and Eastern Oregon can and will be shipped Into Utah and bring 72 to 75 cents per bushel here. It Is said that or ders aggregating 50,000 bushels were today forwarded to shippers In Oregon. The millers In all sections of Utah are great ly In need of wheat, and Just how much of a shipment will be made this Winter from Oregon cannot be estimated. New Rate for Utah's Relief. Assistant General Freight Agent Co man, of the O. R. & N., says the new rate made on wheat to Ogden and Salt Lake City is to give relief to Utah, where there was a partial failure of tne wheat crop last season. This failure made it abso lutely necessary for the Utah mills to get supplies from the Pacific Coast States, from either California or the Northwest. The classified rates were prohibitive. Un der the circumstances It was deemed best to make a rate that would let wheat from the Northwest Into the Utah country, so the figure was fixed at 40 cents per 100 pounds, or 24 cents per bushel, -In carload lots. It Is expected that about three tralnloads 50 to CO carloads, or 65,000 to 80,000 bushels will be shipped on the new schedule. The special rate will expire by limitation December 31. Exporters In this city do not seem to think the new field will absorb very much of the surplus wheat of Oregon and Wash ington. A prominent firm of exporters in this city received an. order for about 50, 000 bushels of wheat for Utah about a month ago, but have been unable to fill It on account of not securing a satisfac tory freight rate. The population of Utah Is not sufficiently large to make much of a market for wheat. BRITISH RAILWAY TROUBLES. Too Heavily Capitalired to Permit Change to Electric Power. NEW YORK, Nov. 29. An expert who has been studying the railway statistics of the United Kingdom has stated that honesty In the management, while the best policy in the long run, is an obstacle to greatly needed schemes of reorganiza tion, says the Tribune's London corres pondent. Tne construction and equipment of lines have always been conducted in the most substantial way and the capital required for enlarged operations has been provided in hard cash. The railways have not been bankrupted or reorganized or the valuation of property scaled down, while the managers have continued to pay divi dends steadily on the increased capitali zation. The time Is now approaching when a change of motive power from steam to electricity must be faced and this will Involve an enormous addition to the work ing capital, and the managers will be at their wits' end to And ways and means for maintaining dividends on the entire stock. The railway directors confess that, while they are Intensely Interested in the results of the Berlin experiments for securing high electric speeds, they are unable to perceive how the capital can be supplied for the costly scheme of substituting one motive power for another without a gen eral combination of the lines of the United Kingdom, and this they consider" an im possible problem, on account of the ex cessive capitalization. INTERESTS AGAIN SEPARATING. Schifl Out of Great Northern, Other Changes Coming. NEW YORK, Nov. 29. The Evening Post prints tho following today: Jacob H. Schlff has resigned as a di rector of the Great Northern Railway. This is the first of the resignations of di rectors holding seats In two or more of the Northwestern railroad directorates to be announced, and it is believed it is to be followed by still others. It was re ported In Wall street that Mr. Schiff had resigned as a director of the Northern Securities Company, but this is not true. The report probably arose from his re tirement from the Great Northern Rail way board, which was not generally known In Wall street today. The Evening Post also says today that It was believed to be only a matter of time and convenience when the resigna tions of E. Hi Harriman and J. J. Hill from the Northern Pacific board would be announced. W. B. Dean, of St. Paul, has been se lected to succeed Mr. Schlff as director of the Great Northern. DALLAS AND THE RAILROAD. Liberal Community, but Will Insist on Benefits Contracted For. DALLAS, Nov. 29. The movement of Dallas to raise $10,000 for the first rail road from here to the timber has been delayed for the purpose of hearing a prop osition from Mr. Gerllnger, which is to be made within 10 days, or as soon as the route can be surveyed and estimates made. The people of Dallas are liberal, and have In the last few years given $75,000 or more to public enterprises, some of which, have not been fruitful of good results. Therefore, the people will In this Instance attach very definite conditions to this do nation. The terms will probably be .that the road shall be of standard gauge, shall be permanently operated, and as surances shall be given that mills of large capacity will be located In Dallas. The subsidy will not be paid until these be come assured facts. Lease of the Burlington. CHICAGO, Nov. 29. The lease of the Burlington system to the Chicago, Bur lington & Qulncy Railroad Company for a term of 999 years was consummated at Burlington today, when papers in the case were filed there. President Harris signed the lease for both the Chicago, Burling ton & Quincy Railroad Company and the Chicago, Burlington & Qulncy Railway Company, as he is president of both cor porations A meeting of the latter com pany was held recently, and the entire official staff of the Chicago, Burlington & Qulncy Railroad Company was made the official staff of the Chicago, Burlington & Qulncy Railway Company. As a result the officers of the railroad company, when they signed the lease, simply leased to themselves, as officers of the railway company, all the lines of the Burlington system. Cripple Creek Rate War. CRIPPLE CREEK, Col., Nov. 29. What Is expected to develop Into a de termined rate war between the railroads running into the Cripple Creek district began today, when the announcement was made that wthe Midland Terminal had made a passenger rate of 50 cents be tween Cripple Creek district points and Colorado Springs, with corresponding re ductions to other points. The Colorado Springs & Cripple Creek District Rail way has not taken action yet. The for mer rate to Colorado Springs was $2 50. Rushing Australian Mail. CLEVELAND, Nov. 29. The east-bound Lake Shore fast mail train, which left Chicago practically an hour late at 2:56 this morning with over 400 pouches of Australian mall that are being rushed across tho continent in nntcYi Sntiirrtav'i! steamer for Queenstown, reached Cleve- I land at 11:34 A. M.t or nine minutes late. The train reached a speed of SO miles an hour several times during the run, while ttv average time, including stops and slow-downs, was 55 miles an hour. The train was delayed here several minutes, and left for the East 14 minutes late. The lost time was made up between this city and Erie, however, and the train will reach New York on time. Land Controversy Settled. MINNEAPOLIS, Minn., Nov. 29. By a fortunate stroke State Auditor R. C. Dunn today settled a land dispute of seven years' standing with the Great Northern Railway and released 270,000 acres for set tlement. This land was selected arbitrar ily in 1S94 by the then State Auditor, A. Blennann, for the Great Northern, under a land grant act The road refused to accept It, and the matter had been In liti gation ever since. Mr. Dunn succeeded in finding a purchaser, and tlvj railroad company accepted the arrangement. The land, which Is In 27 different counties of the state, goes to a syndicate headed by F. E. Kenaston, of this city, and O. A. Robertson, of St. Paul. The price is not stated, but it Is known to be more than $500,000. Paris to New York by Rail. NEW YORK. Nov. 29. Harry De WIndt, writing from the Royal Geographical So ciety, has addressed to the Globe a let ter on the proposed railway from Paris to New York, says the Tribune's London representative. He points out that the project is not a new one. The Russian authorities have been considering it for more than a year past, arid he himself is proceeding next month with the expe dition from Paris to New York by land to ascertain whether the plan is a feasible one. He says the crossing of Behring Strait presents no greater difficulties than the tunneling of the Straits of Dover. New Northern Pacific Engineer. ST. PAUL, Nov. 29. W. B, Darling, chief engineer of the Northern Pacific, Issued a circular today making the ap pointment of W. J. Jamieson as division engineer of tho Northern Pacific, with headquarters n.t Tacoma, to succeed C. S. Bihler, whose resignation will become ef fective Sunday next. Mr. Jamieson's jur isdiction over engineering matters will extend east from Tacoma as far as Bil lings, Mont. Mr. Jamieson has been con nected with the company for a number of years. Burlington Again Adjourns. CHICAGO, Nov. 9 Stockholders of the Burlington met again today, but ad journed until December 6. No reason Is given for the repeated postponements. FUTURE OF THE COAST. Sir Christopher Furncss Says Its Progress Will Be Great. NEW YORK, Nov. 29. Sir Christopher Furness, of Furness, Withy & Co., Ltd., the well-known British shipping firm, will leave for home on the North Ger man Lloyd steamer Kron Prlnz Wllhelm, which sails for Plymouth and Bremen on Tuesday next. Sir Christopher has trav eled very extensively both on the At lantic and Pacific Coasts, with a view, as he expressed it, of "taking a rest and studying the general situation in the industrial world In this country." In cidentally he dropped the remark that he had become Interested financially In a new shipyard which is about to be es tablished in this country. He would, however, give no definite Idea either of the location of his shipyard or of the amount of capital to be invested by him self or others. Sir Christopher, said in reply to questions: "1 came out In September and have been ail over the country. I have found things very different from what they were dur ing my last visit, which was In 1S92, more, particularly on the Pacific Coast. There is no doubt in my mind that we must look to the Pacific Coast for the great develop ments In the United States during the next few years, and if we, in England, could get such benefits when the African war is over as the United States has se cured through the Spanish war, I am quite sure there would be no complaint whatever about the money the war has cost. 1 don't mean to Intimate any bellet that other sections of the United States will not progress rapidly during the next few years, but I do venture to say that during the next few years the progress will show a much greater ratio In the Pa cific States than elsewhere. "So far as the Industrial condition Is concerned, 1 have seen in all directions every evidence of great activity. "Wher ever I have gone 1 have heard from facto ries, and In fact all direction, an out cry for cars to move goods. 1 have spok en to the railroad people, and find they have not the cars to furnish." PAN-AMERICAN CONGRESS. Proposed Compilation of Commercial Nomenclatnre. CITY OF MEXICO, Nov. 29. The ses sion of the Pan-American Congress this morning was largely taken up with read ing of reports of the committee on inter national banking and monetary exchange and on literary relations, the latter fa voring an exchange of official publica tions, and a long report of the commit tee of which Senator Davis is the head, with respect to the Pan-American Rail road. Mr. Buchanan proposed that the governments represented in the Bureau of American Republics contribute among themselves the sum of 40,000 gold dollars, with a view to a careful revision and compilation in English, Spanish and Por tuguese, and under the direction of the customs division of each of the said gov ernments, of the commercial nomencla ture of the American republics heretofore Issued by the Bureau of American Re publics. Mr. Buchanan's proposal was re ferred to the committee on commerce. Northwest Land Decisions. WASHINGTON, Nov. 29. The Sec retary of the Interior has af firmed the decision of the General Lana Office that the timber culture entry ot Godfrey Schilling, of a tract in The Dalles land district, Oregon, should be cancelled. Contest was brought by B. H. Bour, who showed that the entry was made while the land was withdrawn, together with other tracts, and embraced In the indemni ty limits of a grant to the Northern Pa cific. It was further shown that Schil ling had failed to plant trees and make other Improvements on the land, as re quired by law. The Secretary also affirms Land Office decisions dismissing the contest brought by John A. King against the homestead entry of a quarter section in the La Grande land district, Oregon, made by the Simeon Bros. in the case of John C. Hogan vs. John C. Cales, Involving a quarter section in the Olympla land district, Washington, the Secretary reverses the action ot tho Land Office. The Land Office had can celled the entry made by Cales, on the charge of abandonment, but the Secretary holds that this charge was not sustained by the evidence. In an old Alaskan case, John G. Price against Bernard Moore, the Secretary af firms the decision of his office, under date of January 7, 1901, permitting Moore to pay for and complete his entry of a tract or land bordering on Skagway Bay.Alaska, at the head of Lvnn Canal. Since the date of the last appeal, however, the matter had been amicably adjusted between the contesting parties. Exonerates the Company. DENVER, Nov. 29. State Commission er pf Mines Harry A. Lee today received the report of the town Inspectors, F. H Nye and P. H. Clifford, who were sent to Tellurlde to Investigate the recent ac cident at the Smuggler-Union mine by which 25 men lost their lives. The report fully exonerates the company from any blame in the matter. TWENTY-FIVE WITNESSES WILL BE CALLED BY THE DEFENSE IN THE BOXINE MURDER TRIAL. Detective Home Yesterday Told of the Confession the Prisoner Made' to Him. WASHINGTON, Nov. 29. Upon the eve of the adjournment today of the Criminal Court, before which Mrs. Lola Ida Bonlne Is being tried for the killing of James S. Ayres, Jr., District Attorney Gould announced that the Government would rest Its case after the introduction of one or two more witnesses, and that he expected to conclude at the morning session of the court tomorrow.

Deputy Coroner Glazebrook today con cluded his testimony and Detective Home told of the confession which Mrs. Bonlne first made to him. of her part In the tragedy. Her confession to the Chief of Police was also read. Dr. Glazebrook gave It as his opinion that the abrasions on Ayres' legs might have been caused by a woman kicking him with sharp heeled slippers, and said that the bruises on Mrs. Bonlne's arms looked as if they might have been made by a man's thumb as he was gripping the arms. Detective Home, to whom Mrs. Bonlne made her official confession, testified that on Monday following the killing, she told him that at 2 o'clock on the morning of Wednesday, May 15, Ayres had knocked on her door and that when she went to the door he gaid he was -sick and asked her to give him some medicine. He then had, she said, tried to put his arm around her and had asked to be al lowed to go into her room to talk over their former differences prior to his leav ing the hotel, which he was to do the next day. She had declined, saying she did not want to wake her boys, and then had consented to go to his room upon his making the plea that there would not be time the next morning for their conference before his leaving the house. She had told him that she had dressed herself completely, putting on clean linen, a wrapper and slippers and had then fol lowed Ayres to his room he having re turned to his apartment. When she turned the knob of the door Ayres opened it from the inside and she found him standing back of the door, holding a revolver in his right hand. She had then started to run away, but had tripped and Ayres caught her round the waist. She had Illustrated In a later in terview with him and District Attorney Gould her attitude and that of Ayres when the shooting occurred, saying that her back was toward Ayers, that his right hand, in which the revolver was held, was thrown over her shoulder, and that she had caught that hand with both of hers. She did not know how the shots were fired, but she felt blood gush over her shoulder. Then Ayres fell on the floor, she fell under him, and slipping out, hurried to her room, where she washed her hands and wrapper and went to bed. After Ayres fell she found, she said, that her own hand clasped the barrel, and that her hands were covered with blood. She had not discovered the pistol In Ayers hand until he had bolted the door.
