THE football fad is being run to ex-
tremes. 1t has become a craze in college
circles, and if we are to believe one-half
that is told of the training to which the
teams are subjected. they can have no
time for study. That, however, is a mat
ter that may be passed over, in view of
the greater evil that is imminent in every
game. For the play is so rough that it is
wonder that some players are not killed
in every game. We read of one recent
contest in which the teams were piled up
ten or fifteen feet, a struggling, wriggling
mass of humanity. When untangled
three of the men were laid out crushed
into insensibility; two were so bruised
and damaged as to be unable to continne;
one had two ribs broken, and two had
wrists dislocated, while the entire lot was
covered with dirt and CRIME mingled
with reeking perspiration, and were so
exhausted that their efforts to regain
composure were painful to behold. Col
lege athletics are good for youth
within reasonable limits, but these
extraordinary strains and exertions
must be harmful. That the effect
upon maturing youth is i'll where there
is such violence of exercise is undenia-
bic. Il would seem that the young men
of America when they once take hold of
athletic contests are prone to run to ex-
cess, and in this football craze the fact is
made clearly apparent. Indeed, in most
games and contests the on-looking pub
lie seems to have cultivated taste that is
not far removed from that which we con-
denim in the Spanish people for indul-
gence as spectators in the cruel and
often deadly strife in the bull ring. If
the stimulation OF this TASTE continues
that is now demanding physical exhibit
tions that involve death, possibly, and
serious bodily injury, probably, we will
be amenable to the charge OF brutality in
our tastes. Football as it was may be
played without great danger Of serious
injury, but as it is now given by the
many rival clubs of the country it is a
contest that is but mildly characterized
when described as rough.

it is but justice to an experienced critic,
but fair to the State and its best interests,
that the people should read and consider
the report dispassionately and weigh it
with judicial carefulness. If it is error, its
mistakes will be the sooner developed
than under the policy of suppression and
vituperation adopted by most of the San
Francisco press.

New YORK, April 21-A special cable

International transaction which cannot fail
to make great stir in England and Ger
many. The transaction consists of the
virtual sale of the island of tine Republic
Of San Domingo to a private company in
the United States, the sum agreed upon
being So, 800, 900 in five per cent debentures
secured on revenue from tobacco and other
articles. This concession had been sold by
Westerndorf, well known banker of this
city who represented the San Domingo
bondholders. At present nothing remains
but the signatures Of the American repre-
sentatiyes to complete the transaction and
secure to the United States this most inn
portant harbor and coaling station The
holder of this concession is practically the
rnler of the republic because he pays the
officials and receives revenues from the
TOBACCO monopoly a striking teat-
ure, however, is the statement that
the scheme has been approved and endorsed
by Blaine and supported by Gould and
Ogden Mills. It is also reported those gem
tlemen are going to spring it upon the
UniTed States as campaign weapon some

A SWELL CHURCH SCORCHED,
BUT NOT TOO BADLY FOR THE PRESI-
DENT TO WORSHIP TODAY,

Or. BamIin's Sacred Edifice in Washington
Damaged to the Extent OF s1O,0oo-The
Auditorium Uninjur,d Except by Water
Many Notables Attend Services There.
WASHINGTON, D. c., Jan. 16.-While
Dr. Hamlin, the pastor Of the Church Of the
Covenant, was engaged in his study In the
church this afternoon he noticed smell of
smoke coming apparently from the direc-
ton of the basement of the chapel immedi-
ately adjoining the church in the rear. He
found fire had broken out in the base
ment., A general fire alarm was turned in.
The flames had started in room in which
is located a gas engine. They spread very
rapidly, and it was not long before they had
worked their way up to the second floor and
icnited the woodwork in the large Sunday
school room. Thence the fire progressed
upward, and soon the ceiling and
roof of the chapel were burning, but
after an hours vigorous work the fire
was got under control Although the en-
tire interior of the chapel is gutted, it is be-
lieyed the damage will not exceed $40, 600.
The auditorium of the church suffered little
or no damage except from smoke. DR..
Hamlin's valuable library was saved.
The Church of the Covenant is situated in
the most aristocrstic part of the city, and
many of the high Government officials and
prominent residents of Washington attend
services there. The President and Mrs.
Harrison also have made it their church
home.
1t was not very long before the fact that
the church was on fire was generally
known, and the streets and doorsteps in the
were crowded with people. These
included the President and Vice President,
who witnessed the progress of the fire
from position of advantage near the burn
ing church. This is the second time in
three years that the Church of the Cove
nant has suffered misfortune. In 1889 the
arge front tower, then in process of con-
,truction, suddenly collapsed. The loss
by that accident was about S20, 900.
