Representatives of the Big Universe
ties to Meet in New York.

New York, Jan. Accommodation
will be sent out this week to the foot
ball associations of the big universities
asking them to send a representative
to the conference at which a further re
vision of the playing rules is to be dis
cussed.
The foot ball meeting is to be held in
this city in the University Athletic
club.
c. c. Cuyler. the banker and one of
PrincetOn's athletic advisers, said to-
day that two dates would be submitted
for the meeting. the colleges to agree on
one of them.
Just what changes are likely to be
made in the playing rules, it is too ear
ly to say. However, there is a dispO
sition on the part of those who have
the best interests of foot ball at heart,
TO do away with all back of the line
formations, involving the forwards
that is, to require forwards to remain
in line until the ball has been put in
play.
This. it is thought, would benefit the

COFFEE WAR BREAKS OUT.
Sugar Trust Again Cuts the Price-1o
Pounds For 81.

New York, Jan 1.-THE Herald to-
day says;
LAS the Arbuckle Sugar Refinery in
Brooklyn approaches completion, the
war of the sugar trust people upon the
coffee trade of the Arbuclles grows
hotter.
Last week the Arbuckles despatched
an agent TO Europe to contract for raw
sugars, and yesterday the WoOlson
Spice cOmpany-the big cOffe plant ac-
quired by Mr.. Havemyer to carry on
the war, reduced the price of roasted
coffee half a cent a pound. This cut
like all othSrs of the long series that
preceded it, was promptly met by the
Arbuckles.
This brings the price of roasted cof-
fee at wholesale down to S1a cents
pound, as against Is cents on December
Is 1885, when the Havemyers acquired
the WoolsOn plant and began the fight.
The consumer can now buy the unpre-
cedented amount of ten pounds of
roasted coffee for one dollar in almost
any part of the United States, where
formerly he got but four pounds. In
coffee trade circles it was said yester-
day that the Arbuckles are holding
very large amount of coffee, and that
the cut in price is a serious business
for them.
ION the other hand, it is expected
that their sugar refinery will be ready
to start up by May I, when they may
carry the war into the enemy's camp

RUSS. HARRISON'S CHECK.
It Was Dishonored in New York Be
cause His Company Failed.

Cincinnati. o., Jan. IA special to the
Enquirer from Terre Haute, Ind, says:
William Donaghue retired from the po-
sition of cashier of the National State
bank here last week. Today a discrepan-
cy of $4,000 was found in his accounts.
It is announced that the discrepancy was
made good.
Before the electric street railway, of
which Russell B. Harrison is president
went into the hands of a receiver Don
aghue cashed a check presented by Har-
rison, on the Metropolitan Trust com
pany of New York, which was dishon-
ored in New York because the electric
company had gone into the hands of a
receiver before the check reached New
York. This accounts only partly for the
shortage.

WE ARE TOO AGGRESSIVE
Member of English Parliament De-
plores the Invasion of Our
Inventions.

London, Jan. thames Bryce, Rad
icaI member of parliament, speaking at
WoIverhampton last night on foreign
competition. dwelt specially upon that
of the United States.
Mr.. Bryce, after pointing out that
steel rails, electrical plants and bicyc-
les were all produced in the United
States enormously cheaper than in
England said:
1T is a pity that we should allow
this, while if, as is not unlikely, pro-
lection in America should be pushed to
touch eXtravagant lengths, as to be
oVerthrOwn we would have to face
more severe competition
Mr.. Bryce remarked incidentally that
during his visit to the United States
last August he gathered that the
Americans still expected a long series
of commercial troubles.

AFTER THE TRUSTS.
Nissouri's Attorney General to Inves-
tigate Franchise Disposals-

St. Louis, Jan. 1.-THE REPUBLIC to-
day says:
Word reached here yesterday from
Jefferson City that Attorney General
r. G. Grove is preparing to bring suits
against several of the most prominent
corporations in the state, both here in
St. Louis and in Kansas City to test
the validity of the Julian law regulat-
ing the disposal of public franchises.
In the list are said to be telephone,
electric light and street railway COM
panies, all of whom are likely to become
involved on the ground that they have
secured franchises in this city without
complying with the specific terms OF
the law. The situation is said to be
about the same in Kansas City.

B. III. TRACY Is OUT.

Fourth District.

stated that b. H. Tracy of WamegO
would be a candidate for congress in
the Fourth district, into which he was
legislated last winter by the change

The prediction has been verified as
Mr.. Tracy's official announcement has
been made in his home papers and the
Republicans of that county are rallying
to his support.
Tracy is a lawyer and is a good talk
er. He is popular among the pOlit-
clans but when he comes to Topeka he
stops at the National, preferring to at
tend to business and indulge in less of
an effort to save the country the year
