PENN MAKES GREAT IMPROVEMENT.

AGGRESSIVE PLAY WELL. CrLTrvATED-FrM-
BLING STILL TO BE OVERCOME.
Philadelphia. oct. Is lSpccaD.-The Improvement
made by the football team OF the University Of
Pennsylvania during the last week In it, defensive
play has been Of the greatest satisfaction to its
admirers one week ago there was not n team In the
college world which could not have advanced the
ball against Penn for steady gains but on Wednes-
day when the University Of Virginia was met. the
Ouakers presented a finely developed defensive
play Virginia came with reputation. The team
Is certainly heavy and well drilled. but was unable
stand up against the ageressivcness OF the Penn
syivania boys. The feature OF aggressiveness
stamps this years team as one OF the greatest that
has ever represented the Red and Blue. II an all
American team was picked to-day, probably not
Pennsylvania man would be chosen for posi-
tion Yet PENIS team is one OF the best the
grIdiron. ard Its reputation has been gained by
fast and aggressive team work alone.
However there many bad points to he over
come. and the worst one is fumbng. An unusual
amount OF this has been done this year. and the
defect Is not being improved. 1t is causing a great
deal OF uneasness. The back field IL the most
guilty In this respect. but might be excused
the ground that a quarterback OF even fair ability
has not been developed. Hedges is by far the best
man tried but he has been kept out OF the position
by injuries to other players. He ha. been filing

full back, is being broken in for an end rush
Hedges has had a better chance; In this he has
shown much ability as quarter back When that
position has been definitely fixed. the team will
doubtless settle down TO play more steady ball.
The game with the University of Virginia devel-
oped the fact that PENIS team. with all the rcgu-
lar men playing. Is pretty strong but with n sub
perceptibly weaker. In the game just mentioned

News and Courier.

Washington, March ~. DR.. Sump-
son Pope was turned down by President
Mckinley today, and, therefore. he will
not succeed Col. J. Stoho Furrow us
second auditor Of the treasury. DR..
Pope has made several visits to the
White House since inauguration day,
but not until this morning did he have
an opportunity to get in Il few words
with the President. DR.. Pope was ar-
companicd by &. Washington Murray,
A. ". Jennings, of Charleston, who
wants to be collector of the port, and ~.
l.. Graz. Whom DR.. popc's case was
brought to the attention of the prcsi-
dent today he informed DR.. Pope that
the place he desired had already been
assigned to another person. DR.. Pope
would have liked to have remarked
that he would checrfully accept "somc-
thing equally rs good" but the prosi-
dents time was valuable, besides the
members of the South Carolina party
wanted few words with him. The
President requested Mr.. Jennings to
lille his papers with the Secretary of
the Treasury, adding that when the
Charleston appointments arc taken up
his claims will be considered with those
of other applicants. Dr.. Pope will look
around and see what other place he viii
aspire to. He seems to be aiming quite
high, but he may strike something low
in the end.
There was another caller at the
White House today, Geo. T.. Won Kol-
nitz, Jr., who is an applicant for the Of
flee OF United States district attorney.
lie arrived here this morning, and went
to the White House with Gen. Powell
Clayton, who has just been appointed
minister to Mexico. MIR. Won Kolnitz
claims that most Of his endorsements
are from persons outside Of South Car
DINA, and he docs not claim to be idcn-
titled with any of the contcndinn fac
tions In the Palmetto State. He has al
ways been'a Democrat. but at the last
election he voted for Mckinley. nc is
endorsed by some Of the members of
the Bar Of Charleston, and also bv many
OF the bankers of that city. The Pres
1dent did not Indicate whom he will take
up the South Carolina appointments
He seems to be in no hurry to proceed
in that direction.

Especial OThC News and COuricr,

Especial to The News and Courier.
Washington, March 31.--lteprcscnta- 81.
tive Stanyarne Wilson allowed the de-
bate on the Dinglcy bin to close with
out delivering his threatened attack on
the recent speech of his colleague, Mr..
McLaurin. 1t has been whispered
around the Senate colony ever since
Mr.. 'McLaurin proceeded to champion
duty on raw cotton that MIR. Wilson
would take issue with his colleague
before tho discussion closed.
To-day Mr.. Wilson had an opportuu-
ity to reply to Mr.. McLaurin, but he
did not avail himself of the chance.
Those who knew the feeling existing
between tho two members expected to
see thom Jock horns, and they were
surprised when MIR. Wilson, upon be-
ing recognized, proceeded to attack
the position Of Representative Linnay
4 Republican,. from North Carolina
and utterly ignored the speech Of Mr.
McLaurin. Mr.. Wilson went on to
say that the South does not need pro-
lection for its cotton or any OF it's raw
material, and insisted that the good
old Democratic doctrines Of Calhoun
are rs potent now in that section Us
ever. He said the South is working
out Its own salvation along the lines
laid down by the Democratic party, and
1t only asks to be let alone and not to
be contaminated by the Republican,
theories OF protection, and the corrup-
ting influences of trusts and combna-
tion. There was nothing in the speech
OF Mr.. Wilson that could be construed
into reflection upon Mr.. McI.aurin,
and to that extent it was Il disappoint-
ment to those who had looked for II
sensational scene.
Later on in the discussion Mr.. Mc-
Laurin was rccognizcd and it wus then
thought that he would make some
allusion to his colleague, but he, too,
did not have on his fighting garments
to-day, 80 he branchcd Oft and directed
his attention to the preceding remarks
OF n Republican from Michigan named
Smith, who had indulgcd in some
bloody shirtism. Mr.. McLaurin de-
fended the position he had taken in his
original speech. and said his people to-
day believed rs firmly us ever that pro-
lection for protection sake is wrong,
and that it is robbery, hut believe no
less firmly that it is also robbery to
protect the finished products made by
trusts and combinations at the expense
OF farmers, who produce the raw matte
rial. He said the cotton plautrl should
not only share the burdens. hut should
participate in the benefits Of all lcy%lu-
tion. That the producers of raw matte
rial should be treated with the fairness
that is extended or is proposed to be
extended to those who make the fin
ishcd article.
These sentiments wcrc loudly ap-
plaudcd on both sides Of the House. but
the 'scrap" between Wilson and Me-
Laurin did not matcralizc.
