BERLIN, Dec. 13.-The Bundesrath has
refused to approve the resolution adopted
by the Reichstag, by which theological stu
dents are permitted to pass the last six
months of their army service in hospital

indicates that the Bundesrath will not pass
the meas ure for the recall of Jesuits, unless
Caprivi uses the whole of his influence with
the Government to support their demands.

NEW YORK, Dec. 13.-In view of the
Union Pacific abolishing its agencies at sew

freight agencies in this city and prorating
freight among the different lines, it is ru-
mored that some of the railroad agents anu
suDordinates whose interests would suffer,
supported by the sympathy of the merchants
generally, propose to protest against this
wholesale removal. The merchants are in
terested generally against the pooling of
freiRhts. and recognize the usefulness of
local railroad offices and freight agents. 1t
is rumored that merchants identified with

epecial to THE MORNING CALI.

WASHINGTON. Dec. 13.-Secretary Proc
tor to-day sent to the House a report from
captain Symons on the result of the pre-
Hminary examination for ship channel be-
tween Port Townsend Bay, Puget Sound
and Oak Bay. Captain Symons reports that
ship channel to connect the two bays
might be of considerable Importance in time
of war, but the commerce which would be
benefited by the proposed canal is, and viii
be for some time, not at all commensurate
with the cost Of opening and maintaining
the same. If the proposed iron and steel
works at Irondale are established the bene-
fits to be derived from canal in the future
may justify its being built, but he cannot at
present believe they will.

FOOT AND BASE BALL.
Civilians PItted Against the Military

Civilians Pitted Against the Military at
the Presidio.
very interesting football match was
played at the Prcsidio yesterday afternoon
between teams made up from the cavalry
stationed at the post and the Oakland Foot
ball Club. The Oaklands were late in reach
ing the ground, and it was o'clock before
the first kickoff was made. AS the across
the-bay team was three men short, TWO
substitutes were kindly provided by the
Presidio side, and ten men side only played.
The makeup OF the teams were as follows ::
Presidio-Sergeant b. j. Bellipgham (cap-
tain, Joseph Brink, James Riley, j. Nc
Cartey, l.. Kujuba, Drummond. Miller,
Scheele, Crawford, Wall.
Oakland-W. Hall Captain, H. Nedder-
man, c. A; Jones, w. Foote, c. P Morse,
e. Houeb, J. Morse, j. Gardner and Pre-
sidio substitutes Cassidy and Mullen.
Inc game was most exciting and very
stubbornly contested. Only one touch
down was secured, and that was by the
fresldlo team; no goals or tries were made.
Ihe Presld1o men were much the heavier,
while the Oaklanders, though their team
was incomplete, worked more in touch and
were perhaps the better tackIers In run
nlng the cavalry boys were ahead, but the
clever tackling Of their opponents prevented
their scoring many good point. For the
PresldloS Sergeant Bellingham and Craw-
lord played an excellent game, while c. A.
Jones for Oakland showed qualities as a
tackier that would entitle him to a place in
any OF the crack Eastern college teams At

ness without either side having gained the
victory The game will be played off next
