Everything Ready for the Football
Gam at Fort Conby.
Christmas morning will witness the
coming off of the much talked of foot
ball game between the A. F. C. and the
Fort Canby eleven, and aa a large
crowd la Interested the pigskin chasers
will make It the game of the season.
The following will be the line-up of the
Fort Canby team: Lee, center; Olbky,

right tackle; Spalding, left tackle; Sas
ser, right end; H. Kinsle, left end: Mc-
Plain, quarter back; D. Klnxle, right

back: J. Clark, full back.
The officials of the game are to be
Mr. Grant, of this city, who will act aa
"tnplre, Lieut. Flagler, of Fort Stevens,
aa referee.
A quick, snappy game la assured, as
the soldiers are very lively on their
feet, and the locata will attempt to be
likewise, and the ball while in motion
will proceed at no slow rate of speed.
The rush line of the A. F. T. team
haa been considerably strengthened
since their last game wllh Vancouver,
by constant practice, and the strangers
have their hands full. Nothing need be
said about the backs of the locals, for
every one has am Idoa about what they
will do when started.
The soldiers also have a team of no
mean ability. In their rush line there
are such men ax Lee; Fink, Collie and
Slttldlng. while little McBluln. the
quarter, Is as cool aa the boat of them.
H. Kenzle as end, and D. Klnxle aa half
back, are expected to play the game
of the day for the Fort Canbys" ai
they both are strong runners, hard
tacklers and especially noted for their
long arms.
The team will start from the Tele
phone dock at 8 a. m. on the steamer
Queen, and their course will be loudly
murkwl wllh (he blowing of tin horns
and the ringing of ww bell.
As yet no unlit amounls have Ix-en

conference was held between the three
gentlemen. At noon the chairman es
corted hi visitors to the Union Club

sumed. While it was stated the visit
was of a social nature, it waa known
that the prime object of the conference
was to discuss cabinet matters, and as
a gentleman close to Hunna stated.

FIRST TIMJ? IN HISTORY. -
Washington, December 22. The house
today passed the legislative, executive
and judicial appropriation bills, and
then adjourned for the holiday recess.
This is the first time in the history of
congress that a legislative bill has
passed before the- holidays. The day
was devoted to the annual debate on
the civil service law, and as usual the
attempt to strike out the provision for
the commission was overwhelmingly
defeated. The bill as passed carries
22.669.369.02, 136,379 more than the cur

STANFORD 8TUDENTS.
The students of Stanford University
are supplementing the Thanksglvlpg
football victory by sendina- their Glee
and Mandolin Club on a triumphal tour
of the Coast, going as far north as Vic
toria and Vancouver, making one of the
longest tours ever attempted by an
American college organization. Numer
ically the aggregation is one of the
largest on the road. The Glee Club in
cludes sixteen men, and the Mandolin
Club twelve men, besides soloists and
specialists. No collegiate club west of
Philadelphia presents a program of
equal variety. Walter Camp, the father
of football, and the beat Informed col
lege man In the country, places the
Stanford clubs on the same plane with
the famous musical and specialty clubs
of old Yale.
The use of the name Stanford is the
only advertisement the clubs need. Dur
ing the past year the university has
beenjnore prominently before the pub
lic. In a variety of ways, and has at
tracted wider attention. In educational.
legal and athletic circles, than any oth
er university In the land. The decision
of the United States supreme court the
prominence of Stanford professors In
literary circles, the recent achievements
of the students in football, baseball,
and on the track, make Stanford a
household word; and many persons will
came to see and hear these handsome
youn fellows more on account of what
they represent than of what they can
do.
It is needless to say that Stanford
needs no Introduction in this vicinity.
She has already won the loyalty of our
people, and harbors within her classic
walls many of our boys and girls. , The
clubs, on former tours, established
themselves so favorably In musical and
social circles, that their reappearance
will be heralded with pleasure. A large
house and warm reception will greet
hem. Their engagement here will1 be
the event of the holiday season. Thev

THE AFTERMATH IN CHICAGO
Ilun Made on Several Banka, but Good
Generalship Prevented Any Fur
ther Disaster.
8pecial to the Astortan.
Bt Paul, December 22. The Bank of
Mmnesota, with a capital of $eoo.on).
generally conldrei one of the strong
est In the NorthiveM, was closed today.
The deposits amounted to S2.400.0OQ.
The Union Stock Yard Bank, closely
connected with the Bank of Minnesota,
also closed as a consequence.
Washington, December 22. Robert T.
Smith, who was largely Interested la
the Bank of Minnesota, which failed to
day, was nominated by Prealdent a eve-
land to be postmaster of St Paul, and
yesterday afternoon Just before ad
journment the senate confirmed his
nomination.
Chicago, December 22. The failure of
Angus c Glldele, general contractors,
the American Brewing, Malting and
Elevator Co, the George A. Weisae
Malting and Elevator Co, aod Georg
A. Weisse, Individually, all of these be
ing due to the collapse of the National
Bank of Illinois, and small runs oa
three banks we're the echoes today of
the bank failures of yesterday.
Runs were made on the Garden City
Banking and Trust Co, the Hiberniaa
Savings Bank, and the Illinois Trust
and Savings Bank, but none of tba
runs were of much importance. The
officers of the Garden City Bank and
the Illinois Trust Co. had expected that
a run would be made upon their insti
tutions and were ready to meet it They
threw open the door of the bank aa
hour earlier than usual and said they
wanted to get the run out of th way
so they could tranaaut then usual busi
ness without being disturbed. Quite
a crowd of depositors had gathered at
the doors before they were opened and
as soon as the bank was ready for busi
ness tne depositors gave the paying
tellers all they cared to do. The ram
kept up with energy for over an hour,
and then died away. At the close of
banking hodrs the officers of the Inati-
Jtutlon announced that during the day
the .mount of m.inpc tnlron In n-i.
the amount of money taken In was tre-
ble that paid out, and the bank waa
declared In better shape than at the
opening of the doors In the morning.
The run on , the Hibernian Savings
Bank was of short duration, as the offi
cers declined to make any payment oa
time deposits, unless given sixty days
notice. This waa not because they were
not prepared to pay all depositors i
full, but because they wished to avoid
embarrassment td the smaller bankers
who might not be prepared to pay all
their depositors, and who might be
placed in an embarrassing position if
the stronger banks were paying all de
mands for time deposits.
There was a slight run on the Illinois
Trust Savings Bank shortly after it
opened this morning. Before the close
of banking hours the excitement had
completely died out The giving of no
tice was sanctioned by the clearing
house committee and the object was
(the Illinois Trust being the strongest
savings bank in the city) to give the
smaller ones opportunity to point to its
action as an excuse for giving notice
themselves, which they did, and thus
effectually stopped a run. J
The Illinois Trust and Savings Bank
is said to have 9,000,000 In cash on hand
and was today loaning money instead
of. as in 1893, calling loans In to meet
the demands of savings depositors.
