Senator Henderson Will BE Given a Hear
ing by Secretary Carlisle.

ing by Secretary Carlisle.
Washington, Oct. IT, -Ex-Senator
Henderson of Nebraska will be given a
hearing by Secretary Carlisle ON the
question raised by him in the sugar
bounty cases as to the jurisdiction of
the controller of the Treasury. After
Controller Bowler's decision to send
the IS to the court of claims, Score
tary Carlisle promised the sugar men
that he would hear them il they de-
sired it on this question.
Last night the Secretary telegraphed
the ex Senator, notifying him that the
court of claims will meet on the 28th of
this month, and unless the question as
to the controllers jurisdiction was
raised before that time he would send
the claims to the court This morning
the Secretary received reply from Mr..
Henderson, renewing his request for q
hearing and asking that the time fol
the hearing be fixed for some date be-
fore November 10th.
In his telegram Mr.. Henderson de-
clares that the controller neither had
jurisdiction nor the right to send the
cases to the court of claims without
the consent of the claimants. g | re-
gard the position of the claimants as
unassailable, " said the telegram.
Although Secretary Carlisle will
grant the hearing, the general impress
sion at the Treasury Department is
that it will be unavailin2, as the
Secretary is reported to have told
representatives of the sugar people
some time ago that he would stand by
the decision of the controller.

FOOT BALL.

Games from Visiting Elevens.

The Warren and Y. M. O. A. Teams Win
Games from Visiting Eievens.
In the football game at the Union
streets grounds on Saturday afternoon
Warren had no trouble in defeating
Oneida of Philadelphia. At the end
of the contest the score stood 36 to 0.
The visitors were lighter than the
Warren men and they could not play as
we'll together. All the local men played
we'll, McDannell's interference being a
great feature. Magee, for the visitors,
did some good work at tackling. Jones
and Oliver were right in the game,
too.
The strong Maryland Athletic Club
was pitted against Y. M. G. A. at the
Riverview grounds. By neat trick
Mahaffy scored touchdown in the
first half and Hodgman kicked goal.
After that there was no scoring by
either side. The Wilmington boys were
too quick for the visitors. Score 6 to O.
The A. 9. S. N. team will play War
rem at the Union street grounds next
Thursday afternoon. There has been
great rivalry between these teams for
some time. The game will no doubt
be interesting, as both teams have been
playing we'll.

The vessels experienced terrible weather
in rounding Cape Good Hope. Lam
berga had her decks swept, main hatch
stove and lost nearly all her sails.
The Gudrun Jared nearly as bad as did
the Lannberga Her bulwarks and boats
were badly damage an nearly all Of her
canvas was blown away. Huge waves
repeatedly washed over her decks, a
seaman named Nilsson being washed
overheard during a heavy sea.
Capt. Shonwandt and Seaman Rose
kranz of the Gudrun, died of beriberi
during the voyage, and were buried at
sea.
The vessel was taken to Philadelphia
by the mate, who says that he never
expected to reach port in safety. He
tells thrilling story of his experience
after the death of the captain and sea
man and the loss of another man over
board. The vessel was short handed
and practically at the mercy OF the sea,
as the remainder of the crew were so
weak that they could scarcely stand.

HOLYGLOT PETITION.

Meetings were held here last week by the
W. c. T. L. for the presentation before the
public Of the great polyglot petition to all Gov
ernments of the world against the 1egalizing
or tolerance OF tho liquor and opium tratfcs.
This petition bears 100000 names and has
been made up in every quarter of the globe.
1t is the result of upward of 10 years of the
hardest kind Of labor on the part of the mis-
sionaries OF the w. G. u. u. 1t now contains
1,12l,200 actual names, which represent upward
OF 6.000, 600 of persons residing in every section
of the earth. Many of the signatures are attcsts-
tons on bohalf of organizations. The Salvation
Army with one signature Endorsed for 100000
members the attestation of the Good Tcmplars
meant $4,000 names; the United Society Of
Christian Endeavor added 100000 names in
ono line. II is estimated that the Endorsements
of societies and churches amount to nearly
100000 persons. There are three kinds of
Endorsements: First, the names of women;
second, the written Endorsements of men; and
third, the attestaton of officers of organiza-
tions which Endorsed the petition by resolution
or otherwise There are upward OF 100000
men represented on the petition.
The notion of the petition came to Miss
Frances Willard in 1883 when, President of
the Woman's Christian Temperance Union of
America, she attended the con vention held that
year in San Francisco. She was taking the
usual trip through Chinatown and was struck
with the fearful degradation of both men and
women as the result of the opium habit. Her
notion was that the women OF the Orient could
do something to better their condition. and in
a short time the plan OF petition was evolved,
ami before many days had passed Mrs. Mary
Clement Leavitt, of Boston, had started out as
the first missionary to obtain signatures for a
petition that should be presented 10 every ruler
of the world, asking them "strip away the
sanctions Of the State from the drink traffic
and Opium trade and to Drotect homas bv tho
total prohibition of these curses OF civiiza-

the six millions; but they want more, and arc
going to carry the big petition for temperaaeo
to all the rulers of the world to prove that tbs
women want temperance and aid from the
Governments OF the world in procuring ID. It
is enormous undertaking. It has succeeded
in one way but whether the collecting Of sig
natures by the millions is as wise a way TO
spend all the time. money. and labor that the
Womsn's Christian Temperance Union has in
bringing this petition about is a question. OF
course, ID must, to certain extent, be merely
symbol, and only symbol, of great deal Of
the agitation and discussion Of the subject. but
unless this interest DO continued and lively,
the collection Of names viii hardly be Of more
profit than the boarding Of million cancelled
postage stamps.
