working for Mr.. Pray for appointment as

large number of other influential citizens
are energetically at work for Mr.. Pray
Mr.. Llewellyn knows Washington we'll, has
| many acquaintance and puts in some
good licks for his man.
Mr.. Hugh N Price has some strong Wis
consin influence behind him. He is seen
everywhere and let's no grass grow under
his feet. He also has some Colorado sup.
port. He and Sheriff Bursum of Socorro
county, are together and make nice look
ing pair. Mr.. Price says he will remain
| in the fight to the finish.
Last Saturday was field day for the
| New Mexicans in the city.
| Captain Collier, accompanied by Mr.. e.,
F. Mckinley of Albuquerque, A. G. voor

Republicans called on Senator Hanna
last Friday. Judge Morrison is serene
and confident.

SICK OF FOOTBALL.
Death of R. " Ganemon Likely to
Result in Laws AboIishing
the Game in Georcia.

Atlanta, Nov. 4.-Unless all signs fail
the game of foot ball will be abolished in
this state by legislative enactment, as the
result of the death of Richard V. Cane
mon in the battle here Saturday between
the universities of Virginia and Georgia.
Public sentiment had hitherto been in
imical to the game, but the fate OF young
Ganemon has crystallized it, and the ma
jority of the assemblymen say they will
support the measure now pending before
the house and senate looking to the
games discontinuance. The larger num-
Der of them are favorable to absolute
prohibition, while a few take the more
moderate stand that the brutal features
should be eliminated. The former class
will doubtless prevail.
The university team this morning dis
banded, and members of the legislature
say that if the teachers of the institution
don't pass stringent prohibitOry measures
that they will have to get along without
state financial aid. and it is hardly prob
able they will attempt this.
Resolutions were passed this morning
by Ganemon's student associates deplor-
ing his death and condemning the game.

IN THE ICE PACK.
Thrilling Experience of the
Crew of the Alexandria.

San Francisco, Nov. 4-The whaling
steamer Alexandria has arrived here from
Point Barrow and reports that she left
Herschel island on August 20 last. The
whalers Grampus. Fearless, Orica, New
port, JEANNE. Belvidere and Wanderer
We're hemmed in by the ice, with little or
no chance of escaping, although none of
them had sufficient provisions to carry
them through the winter. Captain Til
ton expressed fears for the safety of the
fleet which he left in the ice. as all of
the vessels were in a very precarious con-
dition.
The Alexandria had a terrible expert
ence bucl1ing through the foes by which
she was surrounded off Cape Smith, the
ice being so solidly packed that it took
the vessel with a full head of steam over
eighteen hours to cut her way through it
for a distance of four ships lengths to
open water. She was again surrounded
off Sea Horse island on September II. A
northwest wind moved the pack suf-
hciently to free her.
