EFFECT ON THE SERVICE

CHICAGO, November 25.-In the Lover
ing court-martial case at Fort Sheridan
Lieut.. Col. ]. A. Hunter of Fort Smelling
the Department Of Dakota, acting as judge
advocate. severely arraigned Captain Low
ering for his treatment of Private Charles
Hammond. When the testimony was all
in and Attorney Blair had addressed the
court in defense of Captain Coverings ac-
ton, Judge Advocate Hunter arose After
speaking of the Importance of the case he
took up the specifications of the charge
saying that Lowering was first accused Of
the failure to use legitimate means to get
a garrison prisoner before a summary court,
and. second. that he cruelty abused and ILL
treated said prisoner.
Reviewed the Evidence,
He reviewed the general evidence against
Lowering. sayi-g that the testimony showed
beyond doubt that Lowering as officer of
the day, kicked Hammond, prodded him
with his sword and cursed him. Gentle
men, 1 submit that in our military COM
munity anything in the nature of punish
ment should conform to law" he continued
land that general use of arbitrary power
or punishment without trial is calcula ted
to hasten our disbandment as an organiza-
tion not restrained by law and in opposi-
tion to the spirit of our free institutions.
Between the officers who exercised
power in the manner the accused did and
the enlisted men who are liable to become
their victims there can be no other reia-
tion excep: that of master and slave The
general exercise in the service of power
and means such as the evidence shows the
accused TO have employed in executing his
order TO have Private Hammond brought

Four Representative Unfversity
Teams and Athletic Clubs Line I'm,
CHICAGO. November 25.-Society came
in full force to the Washington Park oval
this morning to witness the contest
between the teams of the Chicago Athletic
Association and the New Jersey Athletic
Association. The famous race course was
as gay as it ever was in Derby days.
Coaches and drags 1ostled swell phaetons
and road wagons. and the crowded stands
were gay with club colors.
The cherry and black OF the local club
waved from every side, but a host of
frlnceton men, attracted by the presence
or Homans and other famous Tigers of by
gone days, shouted and waved encouraee-
ment to New Jersey
dr1zziing rain fell most of the night
and we'll into the morning, making the field
rather shppery and SOFT although it had
been partially protected by hay. By the
time game was called, however, rain had
ceased. ~
The visitors came to Chicago with the
name OF being one Of the strongest organ
lAations IN 'ne country, and were heralded
as an aii-star team, and Chicago, too. after
ner recent trip through the east and her

Four Important Questions.
SIMILAR TO ARMY SALARIES.
PropOred Change I'm Pay of Naya
Line Officers,

One Of the most troublesome questions
before the board considering the reorgan-
ization Of the personnel of the navy relates
to the matter Of pay allowances under the
proposed amalgamation of the engineer
corps with the line of the navy. The mat
ter was referred to a subcommittee consist
ing of Commander ]. N. Hemphin, Lieuten-
ant A. s. Key and Passed Assistant En-
gineer w. NJ. Mcfarland. This committee
reported in favor of the adoption of army
pay for the reorganized line and the recon-
Terdation has been practically adopted by
the board. Under the proposed plan of pay
officers of the grade of rear admiral, who
now get $4,000 while at sea, will be given
S.5O0, the pay of a major general, with
whom they rank: commodores will get the
pay of brigadier generals. s., 500: captains
the pay of colonels $500: commanders,
that of lieutenant colonels, $1,000; lieuten-
ant commanders that of majors So 500:
Eeutenants, that of captains 81 600: lieu
tenants Junior grade that of first lieuten-
ants. $1,000. ard ensigns, that of second

Interesting Foot Ball Eventsat PhiIa-
delphia, Chicago and Other Points.
FINE WEATHER AT QUAKER CITY
Chicago EIevens Confronted by a
Cod, DrizzIy Day.
INDIANS AT CINCINNATI

PHILADELPHIA, November 25-The
University of Pennsylvania foot ball eleven
and the Cornell team will line up this af-
ternoon on Franklin Field for their an
nual Thanksgiving day game. The day is
an ideal one for foot ball. The weather is
cold enough to make the players put con-
siderable life into their work. and not so
cold as to make 1t uncomfortable for the
spectators.
The streets in the business section Of the
city present much the same appearance as
they did on the morning Of the Harvard
Pennsylvania game.
Almost everywhere is to he seen the
trace of the decorator. The windows and
archways of the big Chestnut street stores
are tastefully decorated with red and blue
and red and white ribbons. the colors of
the two teams, while the fakir3 are reap
ing rich harvest by selling their wares to
the foot ball partisans Of the Two big uni
versities.
Fast Game Expected.
1t is believed that today's game will be
the fastest exhibition Of foot ball that has
been seen here this season. The Ithaca
lads have been practicing especially for to-
days battle, and have had the benefit of
the Information given them by Beacham
ana WyckoH, Two OF CornellS $ coaches. who
have noted closely the general play of the
Quakers. That the Cornell team is fast
there can be little doubt but Capt Minds
is determined to make today's event nt-
ting finale for one of the most brilliant
foot ball seasons in the experience of cid
Pennsy. He has urged upon his men the
necessity, OF playing hard. clean foot EaiI
all the time. Cornell has the heavier team,
the carnelian and white representatives
averaging a pound to the man more than
the red and blue representatives.
AS early as II o'clock the street car lines
leading to Franklin Field We're beginning
to act as barometer for what Was to be
expected at the grounds. Passengers were
cinging to every available space and yet
there were not enough cars to accommo-
date the crowds. 1t is estimated that not
less than 10000 persons will witness the
game.
