North Carolina, Mr.. Butler, of pre-
pared speech on the house bond bill,

Washington, Jan. 15.-For four
hours the debate on the general pen

taken in his speech yesterday, in which
he supported the administra ton by the

policy of the pension bureau, which he

that they would be stabbed in the back
by the bureau, where they should re-
ceive only encomiums and support. He
repudiated the speech of Mr.. Bartlett
in the name of the democracy of New

loyal to the union and the friend of the

FOOT BALL.

Special Dispatch to the In~telllgcncer.
MoRGANToWN, W. Va, Nov. a.
The West Virginia university foot ball
team had It's last practice for the year
this evening, when they lined up against
a score Of scrubs and scored a touch-
down, besides getting some good prac-
tlce. Tomorrow the team will leave by
boat for Pittsburgh. where on Thanks
giving day they Will play against the
Pittsburgh Athletic Club. An excursion
steamer has been chartered and 1t will
carry n big crowd Of students and en-
thusiasts who will see that noise Is not
absent from the university side. The
lineup on Thursday will not vary ma
terially from the lineup against Du-
quesne on Saturday.
krebs, who was reported laid UP with
three ribs broken, did not look like q
physical wreck this evening in practice,
and assured the IntellIgencer cores
pendent that he would be in the game
and do the hardest kind Of playing.
Yeagers spralned hand and South's
"Charley-Horse' leg are rounding to
nicely, and they will both be in the
game. The loyalty Of the students and
town people toward the team was ut
tested this evening, when at least 500
went out to see the last practice. They
all realize the teams hard luck this
year. They have had the strongest
teams, beside the faculty and sheriff, to
go up against, and their record speaks
for itself. They are not ashamed Of 1t,
neither are the students and friends o.
athletics. The attachment proceedings
instituted by Lafayette against the ro-
cspts OF the Duquesne game on 'Satur-
day were dismissed to-day because no
affidavit was filed with the writ OF at
tachment. The university association Is
indignant at such treatment. 1t is true
there Is a balance due Lafayette, but
every cent Of 1t will be paid. The asso-
citation Is not going to beat anybody our:
Of a penny. Lafayette has forgotten
that the university filled a hole in La
~fayette's team, and q lamentably weak
one, when Yost was leased to them to
play in the PENNSYLVANIA game.
