The Harvard representatives at the
conference of college athletes called by
Brown University Will be Professor
Ira y. Hollis, chairman of the Har-
ward athletic committee; Frederick NJ.
Moore, eX-graduate, manager athletic
and the secretary OF the newly-organ-
lied Harvard Graduate Athletic AssO-
citation. and Edward Burgess, IS, the
Varsity left fielder.
From the caliber Of the men who
win represent Harvard it is evident
that Harvard welcomes Browns invi-
tation and has determined 10 use all
influence to settle the amateur ques-
ton. For years Harvard has stood out
for fair and pure college athletics, and
il has often been felt that cause Of
a Harvard defeat could be found in the
fact that the amateur conscience of
some of the colleges has not been as
timid as HarVards.

in quest of English turf honors grows
almost daily. 1t would seem that the
climax is reached when Mr.. A. J. Cas-

ticipation i'm racing in this country half
a dozen years ago. has determined to
try the fortune of the famous red
white and blue coloTs on the far side
of the Atlantic, but there is no know
ing. If things keep on in their present
groove. ii will be the exception and not
the rule to have any good four-year-
olds or upward 10 race here.
The American owners whose colors
will, barring accidents, be surely seen
on English race courses during the
coming season are August Belmont,
James r. Keene. Pierre Lorillard, j.

Statements from the Medical De-

 Average 75 Per Cent.

San Francisco, November 2.-The As- socated Press has received the following correspondence dated Manila, October &:
 ''The health of the troops here at pres ent is far from being good, notwithstanding the statements of the medical department to the contrary. At Cavite the conditions are very bad. There have been forty deaths since September l. mostly from typhoid fever. In one battery alone over 75 per cent. of the men stationed there have been on the sick list within a month, the officers being affected as well as privates. The hospital accommodations there are in- adequate The supply of medicines was exhausted at one time, and for days there was nothing incidentally to administer to the patients. The men are quartered on ground floors, where it is damp and in this country especially conducive to illness. Many of the men worked themselves i'll during the process of cleaning Cavite, but now sanitary conditions are being looked after and an improved health record will doubtless follow

Small pox is always prevalent among the natives, many having 1t as children. The doctors are doing everything possible to confine 1t among the natives.

] Washington. November 2.-(Special.) .)-The congressional campaign committees have about finished their work and will now wait quietly for the result. The republi- cans have done much more work than the democratic committee. Indeed there is an impression here that the democratic lead- CTS are not over-anxious to carry the next house.
 There is some evidence of 1t and much more reason Should the democrats carry the next house 1t will precipitate upon it the contest for leadership. It would do the democrats no earthly good to have the house. They could not undo anything that the republicans have done with the senate composed of republican majority. Any measure which the house might pass and which might slip through the senate would be vetoed by the president if it did not con- form to the doctrines of his party. Then, too it would emphasize the division among the democrats on the question of expan- sion an1 bring up new issues among them
