 An enlargement of our missionary work began last November. when. after the meeting of presbytcry in Juneau. Ar. A. Stark accompanied ne on my return here. He came particularly to help in the special services during the week of prayer for men. A hall was secured on the front street and gospel meeting held every evening. preceded by singing on the street.

Several Christian men. includ- ing Mr. F. r. Loomis. AIr. $. R. Moon and Rev. NJ. D. McClclland. took part in carrying on these services.

Sometimes two OF three languages. besides English. will be heard in prayer or testimony. For some weeks past. the young men < rooms have been open every evening attended by boys and men. A social meeting every Thursday evening. to which ladies are also invited. and at whi,h some literary exercises and light refreshments are provided. is one of the attractions. and is highly aprreci- atcd. A Bible lesson is studied at the rooms every Monday evening. and many other privileges are enjoyed. The General Secretary. Mr. w. II.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 1.-THE adj
ministration feels encouraged now over
the outlook for a successful termina-
tion of the labors Of the peace COM
missioners in Paris. Whether this re-
newed confidence is based upon an alb
stract of the Spanish reply which was
submitted at yesterdays meeting, or
Is founded upon private advices indi-
eating weakening of the Spanish po-
sition, is not known. but 1t Is probable
that both OF these have had an influ-
ence in Frightening the prospects.
The attempt Of the Spanish commits
sloners TO induce the Americans to ac-
cept their construction of the meaning
OF the protocol, where 1t touches on
the Philippines, has been a fat failure.
IEasmuch as the Spaniards are max
ing most strenuous efforts TO assert
their sovereignty over the Philippines.
all based upon the use of the word
disposition" instead OF possession"
in that part Of the protocol relating to
the future Of the Philippines, 1t may
be stated that the American commits
sioners have been obliged to call at

who acted for the Spanish government
in arranging the protocol, declared
positively that the change which was
made at his instance amounted TO Moth
lEg: was OF no significance in English
or as affecting the object aimed at,
but was made merely because il sound

FIELD
SIGNAL PRACTICE TODAY
Dudley Went Into 1t With His Knee
in a Cast, but Thinks He Can
Stand the Game Tomorrow
Mcbride Getting Thoroughly
Rested-Chess Match Agreement
Signed-Day's Racing.

NEW HAVEN. Nov 17.-The foot
ball eleven held a short practice Of
perhaps half an hour on a Iain-soaked
field this afternoon. No lineup was
formed and the only work done by the
varsity players was running down the
field on kicks and catching the ball
Special attention was paid TO having
the men warn the others when they
were trying for a catch. This was 10
remedy such faults as that Of the last
big game when the players ran into
each ether several times in their
anxiety TO get the pigskin.
Dudley and the backs OF all grades
were sent out for this practice and this
leads the close obserY ers to believe that
dudley Will be one OF the backs In the
first lineup for the big game. He is
able TO run somewhat, and by Satur-
day he thinks he will be able to stand
II Tor one-haH at least. His knee Is
however, still in a cast lightly bound
Which one OF the haif-dozen other
backs available viii be his running
nate cannot be definitely stated yet
The conEe nsus Of the coachers seems
TO favor Durston again, or little Town
send. Corwin. Marvin and Eddy are
also possibilities.
In the practice game today Mcbride
did not come out at all. He is getting
over, he is nursing a wTenched ankle
which troubled him a little last Mon
day. though 1t Is not serious No
chances are TO be taken with the big
full back and he will undoubtedly make
better showing than in the last game
Tomorrow will be given up TO signal
practice only.
Late tonight 1t was learned that the
definite picking OF the Yale football
eleven has been made There were
only three positions about which there
was any doubt at all, the two half
backs and that OF fullback. For the
latter place IL was taken for granted,
however. that Mcbride would eventual
ly be chosen, but the coach. to whom
was delegated the power 10 decide the
matter. has tonight sent Mcbride TO
New York TO be treated by specialist,
as his ankle is getting worse, though
at first II seemed a simple wrench
This gives the big full back only one
chance in a thousand OF playing next
Saturday In his place Townsend will
doubtless go in. Such is the plan to-
night. In punting and all kicking,
Capt. Chamberlain VIII, however. act.
For halfbacks Dudley and Durston are
picked out, with Eddy and Hubbell for
ends, Chamberlain and Sullman for
tackles. Brown and Marshal, guards,
and Cuttan at center Durston IS put
in, despite his fumbling in the Prince
ton game, because he can so well fill
Chamberlain's post at tackle when the
latter goes into the kicking depart
ment Of the gnme. Should Dudley give
out. Corwin Is the first substitute.
