Arrangements have all been complet-

game between Pittsburg College and
the w. A. c. 1t promises to be stub
bornly contested and TO be witnessed by
large crowd. The w. A. c. will pre-
sent the strongest eleven which has
ever represented this city on the grid
iron.
The Pittsburg College team of the
present season is made up of fine,
dashing lot Of young fellows who may
be expected to give al first class exhi-
bition of fast foot ball in this city on
Thanksgiving Day. The line is as
strong as could possibly be expected
from students of their age There is,
however, just one really heavy man.
who weighs about 200 pounds, although
he is barely over 10 years. 1t is Bow
man, the left tackle. But there are 9TH
ers on the opposite side of the line who
compensate for this extra weight by
an extra dose Of activity. McDonough,
who is the side partner of Bowman,
would scarcely be taken to be over six
feet in height, he is so well built. With
Duffey, the captain, at left end, this
side Of the line is surely we'll able to
take care of itself Carlin, who was
formerly at left end, and knew perfect
ly well how to handle the place, was
m f.tIa vfD eli
er, at full back, got slightly hurt, two
weeks ago at Washington. Carlin is
an active man, but he was rather too
light for end, and did not appear for
midable enough in that corner against
opposing rush lines He is now, how
ever, replaced by one of the best rush
ers and tacklers in or around Pitts
burg, Claude Duffey 1t will be live
ly man that will be able to find his way
around that end.
The other side of the line is equally
well protected Sonnefeld, at right
guard, is splendid guard He plays
hard, aggressive game, and in the
game with the West Virginia University
was fully able for big Krebs. His side
partner from this until the end of the
season will be the old reliable Wolfe,
who with Mccarthy and Wall, Is among
the veteran members of the team,
having played star half-back game on
this very same anniversary in the game
at Wheeling in "a He looks light. but
he is a past grand master at tackling,
and is one Of the best gymnasts around
Pittsburg, having won distinction at
many a meet in the country. Wall,
fine strapping fellew, who also took
hand in the last THANKSGIVING game is
at right end ever since the middle OF
the season. He had been for years past
at right tackle, having all the requisite
qualities for that important position.
but being the fastest runner on the
team, in spite of his 10 pounds, he
was sent over to right end, where his
rushing powers are available.
Rudolph is tower Of strength at
center, and though as meek as a lamb
at other times, he is quick as flash
in game of foot ball His well known
coed nature never quits him, however,
even at most critical times.

A QUESTIONABLE VICTORY.
Searkey Gets n Decision Over Joe Goddard
at San Francisco.

Searkey tets beCistDn oNcr Joe
at San Francisco.
San Francisco, November 18.-Ton
Sharkey has won another questionable
battle, his victim this time being Old
Joe Goddard, the decrepit Barrier"
champion.
The fight, which was scheduled for
twenty rounds, terminated in the sixth
when Sharkey, after landing stiff
right On Goddard's jaw, rushed at his
man and knocked him TO the floor. lit
orally by force Of impact, falling heav-
lily upon him. Goddard's head struck
the canvass with an awful smash, which
dazed inn. He arose at the end OF three
seconds and staggered to the ropes,
Referee Macarthur meanwhile holding
the excited sailor back.
Amid great confusion Macarthur
awarded the fight to Sharkey. The de-
cision was just. but Sharkey's victory
is far from creditabIe, 1t being the pop
ular impression that Goddard was hurt
more by his collision with the floor
than from Sharkey's blows. which were
at all time wild and miserably timed.
Popular confidence In te genuiness Of
the projected fight was so slight that
mere handful Of spectators paid admis-
sion to the Mechanics Pavilion to-
night.

Corunna, Spain, November 1S.-The
Spanish steamer Montserrat, which left
Havana on Sunday, October 81, with
Gen. Weyler, the former Captain Gen
eral of Cuba, on board, and which sub
sequently touched at Gibara and at
Porto Rico, arrived here unexpectedly
to-day She was not due to arrive here,
according to the announcements, until
Friday evening.
The newspaper campaign for and
against a popular demonstration in
honor of General Weyler is so fierce
that the editor of the antiWeyler pa
per, La VoZ de Galicia, has challenged
the editor OF the Weyler organ, Ell
Nord-Ouest, to fight duel.
AS previously cabled the moderate
Republicans and Carlists are in favor
of the demonstration, while the RepuD-
licans, Liberals and Socialists are OPP
posed to it, and are organizing a coun-
ter demonstration.
AS soon as possible after the Mont
serrat was signalled, crowds of people
focked to the harbor from all parts of
the city and a fleet of beats, filled with
admirers of Gen. Weyler started to
meet the steamer and escort her to her
quay.
Every craft of every description that
the port afforded was chartered to
convey individuals, societies and clubs
to the MOntserrat A number of depu-
tations went on board the vessel.
The commandant Of Corunna had a
brief interview with Gen. Weyler,
simply conveying to him the desire of
the Queen Regent and the govern
ment to receive him as speedily as
possible at Madrid.
Gen. Weyler did not go on shore.
He has decided to remain on the Mont
serrat until she reaches Barcelona, for
which port he will sail direct at six
O'Clock tomorrow morning.
Thus far, there has been no dis
turbance Of any kind whatever.
Madrid, November 1S.-At the meet
ing of the cabinet to-day letter from
the United States minister, Gen. Stew
art L. Woodford, was read, expressing
the satisfaction and gratitude of the
United States government relative to
the settlement Of the Competitor case
and other current questions.
The communication created a good
impression in political circles.

Washington, November Ex-senator
Morgan, Of Alabama, member Of the
committee on foreign relations, has
reached Lere on his return from Homo
lulu, where he went to post himself on
the annexation question. For the first
time he submitted himself to-day to an
interview on the results of his trip and
said:
My conclusions, based on my obser-
vations, are only full confirmation of
what l have had previously believed
that it is our national duty and will be
in every way advantageous to all con-
cerned to annex Hawaii to this country.
| have studied the questions from the
most authentic and reliable sources.
The establishment of an utpost of the
United States within the tropics and
1900 miles from our coast challenges
the inquiry whether such action is nee
essary to our national welfare. Our
northwestern possessions on the Pa
cifc along the Aleutian archipelago are
over 1000 miles west of Honolulu. This
gives us control of practically the en-
tire American coast of the North Pa
cific.
"The intervention of the British pos
sessions from the Straits of Fuoa to the
northern boundary of Alaska creates a
powerful reason for our occupation of
Hawaii. Without imputing to the Brit
ish any other motive than to extend
her national policy of commercial con-
quest it seem very obvious that If she
should acquire dominion of Hawaii
and open and fortify Pearl Harbor, her
military fortress at EsquImalt, on the
island of Vancouver cooperating,
would leave us encountered with a
mass OF territory in Alaska whose de-
Tense would be almost impossible and
the enormous advantage of which
would be lost to us. The Vancouver
coal fields would give the British navy
almost irresistible advantage in war,
and virtual dominion of commerce in
time of peace.
Except among the few none expect
favors and advancement from re-estab-
Ashment of the royal government, the
general body Of Hawaiian population
will rejoice in the honor, safety peace
and prosperity which annexation will
bring. Morally and practically the
silent invasion of Hawaii from the ORR
ent Ghe Japanese) violates all the de-
clared policy and often expressed pur-
pose Of the United States to protect
these people against foreign interior
ence. The islands as a national posses
sion would richly reward us for expen-
diture of hundred millions. The an
nexation would cost us nothing and
will not at present excite the open OPP
position Of any nation"

Paris. November 18-The allegation
that Alfred Dreyfus. former captain of
the French artillery, was falsely accused
and convicted by a court-martial of
selling French military plans to the
agents of foreign government contin-
ues to be widely discussed in Paris and
throughout France. From person
who is in the counsels of the family the
correspondent of the Associated Press
here learns that their presentation of
the prisoners case to the French gov
eminent, which caused the present ag-
itation, reveals thrilling romance with
the gang of so-called Journalists" and
stock jobbers who beset the late Max
Lebaudy, the millionaire conscript. 1t
is claimed that the documents Dreyfus
was charged with selling to Germany
were never really sold to the agents
of the country, but were prepared in
imitation of Dreyfus's handwriting to
blackmail him, his wife being wealthy
woman and he himself in good circum-
stances. The plot. it would further
seem, was conceived in 1898, when the
wave of Jew batting swept over Eu-
rope. Dreyfus is of Hebrew extraction,
and these jackals of Partisan society,
casting about for funds, determined to
"bleed this wealthy Jew"
A beautiful adventures, whose house
was the resort of a number of French
officers and foreign diplomats, is said
to have acted as the go-between in
these shady transactions. By invitation
Dreyfus was a frequent visitor to her
house. In due course of time the plan
for the mobilization of the French army,
which had been drawn up in a hand
writing which cleverly initiated that Of
Dreyfus, was produced and money was
demanded for it's surrender. Dreyfus,
however, it is said, refused to pay the
sum demanded, knowing that the pur-
chase Of the document would be an adj
mission of his guilt and would furnish
ground for future extortion, and being
aware that the fact that he had been
acquainted with this woman, who was
party to the plot, would be consid-
cred part of the strongest evidence of
his guilt.
The friends of the Dreyfus family
explain that the newspapers whose at
taches were concerned in the plot have
constantly maintained warfare against
Dreyfus, even up to the present time,
and that in consequence the prisoners

Coroner Tremblay was notified and be-
gan an investigation. having heard
that Rodgers was roughly handled by
the officers. and that he had been

one to-day. The deceased man is not
known TO have any relatives III this
part of the country.
