 In the second half Billy Evans took Waters place, and Spruce took Albright,s place. During that half Huachuca lost Kelly and Nicklin from injury. Miller went to tackle and lines took his place at center Brown took Nicklin's place.
 Huachuca kicked off to Phoenix's 25-yard line, Sanford got the ball, but was downed after short run. Phoe- nix quickly brought the ball back near center by hard line bucking They lost the ibaM on downs. The soldiers essayed going through, but lost ground ,and had to resort to a kick, which was we'll followed up, and they kept possession of the ball, but lost it on downs after a five yard gain. Bellis immediately made a twent five yard run for Phoenix; followed ty a ten yard run by Jones. Phoenix los. the ball by nasty tumble. The SOL diers lost ground for two downs, and had to kick again. Sanfo return d it for net gain. The soldiers aga n lost ground for two downs through some magnificent work of Waters and Linville tackling behind the line. They made the desired distance, however, by long run across the fed, anl around the right end. The ball w3s forced out of bounds on the north side of the field, a soldier dropped it and Waters fell on it. Phoenix made gaiIs S by going through the line, but lost the ball on a tumble, and Cowan kicked out of danger. II was well followed up by the ends again, and they kept possession of the ball, but again lost ground and had to kick once more From then till the end of the half lit tie progress was made from the center by either side There was a series of fumbles not much to the credit of Phoenix or Huachuca.
 The second half opened with a rong kick to the soldiers 10-yard line Cowan returned it and a soldier got it They again lost ground for two downs but Nicklin finally got around right end for one of the best runs of the day. They lost the ball on downs. Phoenix made forward pass to Jones, who made a corking run which did not count, and the ball went to the sol diers. The bluecoats did their best work then, and worked we'll into the enemies territory, but lost the ball on a stupid blunder of tumble. Phoenix could not make much impression, and ultimately lost the ball by an artistic tumble They next lost three yards on foul. Things did not have roseate hue for the home team; but a fine tackle by Linville, tihe picking up of the dropped ball by Bellis, who made thirty-yard run with 1t, saved the day.

HAWAIIAN ANNEXATION.
The Bill Will Be Taken Up After the
 Holiday Recess.

Washington Dec 25.-Chairman Davis of the foreigns relations com mittee says that as soon as the senate reconvenes he will call the Hawaiian annexation treaty up and press it con tinuously until a vote is secured He believes the treaty will be ratified.
 Senator Morgan, it is said. will peal for the ratification of the treaty The administration makes no conceal ment of the fact that it depends much on Senator Morgan to bring abous the ratification.
 The president has been taking a hand in the matter, and during the week has had conferences with those republican senators supposed to be weak upon the subject. They are, it is said, being gradually whipped into line, and there is no longer any fear of a revolt in the republican ranks.
 The indications, however, are still that the treaty will not be ratified, but that Hawaii will be annexed by a bill passed by both houses.

TIE DOG AND THE LAW.

We noted in the last issue Of the Wing.
that Justice Brown of the Supreme Court
OF the United States had recently given the
opinion, that property in dogs is of an
imperfect and qualified character, and his
legal status in this state NAV soon be
decided by the Court of Appeals of Mary
| land.
The case now in this court, says the
Baltimore Sun in an editorial on Thursday,
involves the validity of an ordinance passed
| by the mayor and town council of ifagers-
town Judge Stake, of the Circuit Court,
has decided in favor Of the dog and has
declared the ordinance invalid as an in
fringement upon the right Of property, and
from this decision the mayor and council
appealed.
The Hagerstown ordinance prescribes
that mo dog shall be permitted to run at
large within the corporate limits of Hagers-
town" A dog-catcher is appointed, and
it is made his duty to catch every dog run
ming at large and, after keeping it twenty
four hours, to kill it. If dog wears
collar bearing its owners name, it is the
duty of the officer to notify the owner, who
can then redeem the dog by the payment Of
one dollar. A number of citizens obtained
an injunction against the mayor and council
ami the dog-catcher to restrain them from
enforcing the ordinance. Judge Stake
made the injunction perpetual
The judge in his opinion takes high

Grand Duke OF Austria until such times as

Appeals last week, and it seems to have
been the opinion of the judges and such

The Maryland Legislature in lS~2 passed
