captain of the 4th class eeam. at the
Annapolis naval academy.
In a recent issue of the Baltimore
American in its notice OF the naval

Md, are proud of the team each
year, and always want them to win.
The academy team has lost one game
this seoson and that was with Prime
ton. The academy team does not have
all the time it needs for practice, but
its practical experiences of several
hours a day always keeps the members
in good form. ! After a navy touch
down the cry is: "Rah! Rah! Rah.
This way! Football we play! U. s. N. A.
Rah! Rah! Rah! Right through we
break; Touchdowns we make: we take
the cake, U. s. N. A. Rah! Rah! Rah!"
Few are the gains made through the
ENTER of the cadet team. In speaking
of the players in particular the Amer
lean says: Cadet Emory S. Land Of

THE ZOE HARVEST.
Fine Crop Forming-Work Begins in
Three Weeks.

W. H. Lawrence was in town today
looking up his ice business. The recent
cold snaps have made a fine crop Of
crystals, but the trouble is that the
weather god has been generous in
most all places and many towns where
the ice crop is usually poor in quality
and short in quantity will have an
abundance this year, so that Mr.. Law
renee says he will not cur as much
ice" this year as ne did last.
However, he has contracts for sew
eral thousand tons and the work of
harvesting will begin about the end of
December and will last for some time.
Last year Mr.. Lawrence put in a stage
and patent machine loader by which
the ice is drawn up out of the water
along On a moving chain belt and load
ed directly into railroad cars. The
plant is placed along the track of the
North Park and Pacific road,

COMMISSIONERS FINISHING.

Paris, Dec. THE prolongation of
yesterdays meeting Of the Spanish and
American peace commissioners leads
to the belief that matters are progress
sing favorably. The treaty will con-
tain eighteen articles. There Is good
reason to believe that all the articles
are practically agreed to, that only the
nature of the details are now in course
of discussion and that the treaty will
be signed within the next few days.
Senator Frye, who hates diplomatic
clubbing, left the session yesterday
an hour prior to its termination. This
lends color to a umo that he and
another senator are the uncompromis-

T. B. Landers, Mr.. Douglas %superin-

a fair average of what the vein will run,
but it is very satisfactory.

FIRST REGIMENT GOES TO MANILA
1t is now proposed by the secretary
Of war to send the First regiment of
regulars to Manila by way OF the Med
iterranean and Suez canal. The reg
iment will probably go on the new
troop ship Mobile which is the finest
in the world. The war department au-
thorities think it would be we'll to have
three of the new troopshIps on the Pa
cific coast, and two will probably fol-
low the Mobile by the same route. 1t
is figured that the distance to Manila
is about 10000 miles, and the time of
the journey will be from thirty-three to
thirty-nine days, according to the speed
made by the vessel. The Mobile, on ar
rival at Manila, will be employed 10
transport a volunteer regiment to San
Francisco.
The Colorado regiment may be chos-
en- as the first to return, but this is by
no means certain. The first regulars
will reach Manila the latter part of
