LEE AMI
A Plan to Present Them Swords and
Have Them Made Major Generals.

Chicago, November THE fame
earned in the Spanish war by Major
Generals Joseph Wheeler and Fitzhugh
Lee, of the United States volunteer
army. will not be ignored if a number
of women of Chicago are successful in
an undertaking they have started.
The purpose is to present each gen.
eral with a sword, costing $1,000, and
they will also petition congress to
make them major generals of the reg
ular army as a recOmpense for their
services to the union during the war.
The movement is to be national, engin-
eered and conducted b ythe women of
the nation. The most prominent women
will be asked to aid in the project.
The project was first conceived by
Miss Annie Marie de Beck. Il meet
ing Of the women interested was held
today. Plans were ornulate for the
successful completion Of the project
and measures were taken to interest
the women of other states and widen
the scope of organization.

Cornell Defeats Columbia.

New York, November 7.-Cornell ard
Columbia We're we'll represented at
Manhattan field this afternoon when
the foot pal teams from Ithica and
the local university met on the grid
iron. Columbia was a pronounced ia
vorite, odds of 5 to 4 being laid on the
blue and white, but the wearers of the
red and white had plenty of backing
and the Ithican rooters got all the
cash as we'll as the glory, is CorncI
won, chutting out the Columbia team
by a score of % to 0.
The weather during the afternoon
was glorious. In fact it could not have
been improved upon and the conditions
were perfect for a good game. Fully
$4,000 persons witnessed the contest.
Of these 10000 passed through the
several entrances and crowded the
stands n bleachers. The remainder
were packed in like sardines on the
big viaduct and along the new road up
on the heights Ito h westward.

Chairman Tefft. OF the republican
committee, declined to make q state

ted defeat. though not -onceding IL by
as large a majority as claimed by The

Delighted With the Philippines Their
EVIL Features Exaggerated.

Florence. Ala, November General
Joe Wheeler. in a letter to Hon. w. J.
Wood. OF Florence. stating his views on
the Philippine question. says:
II am delighted with the Philippine
islands l have no doubt that n little
push and energy Ehis fall will crush ont
the Aguinaldo insurrcvcion. Out "
5000. 600 people in these islands. do
not think that ne has more than 20 .ooo
soldiers and in a square fght 5000
Americans would tear shem TO pieces.
All that is necessary TO crush them ont
is for the army TO get mt them and
keep at them until the work Is done.
The evil features Of these islanIs
have been exaggerated To u people.
Their extent 10 50 great from north
TO south and the variation Of the alu-
tude is uch hat there IL "A great va
viety OF climate and variety OF produc-
tons. Americans viii find This ar ex-
cellent field for Eheir energies and the
wealth producing powers Of these Is
lands under American influence will be
very great.
The action OF some people in the
United States III asserting THAI the
people OF the Philippines ought TO have
independence does a great deal or
harm and assists A~guinaldo In main
tanning the insurrection. as he pub
fishes all assertions by Americans OF
that character and he tells his u y
porters that IL they hold out until
winter. independence will be- given 20
them. lit also has a bad effect i'm this
hat people who are disposed TO be ia
vorable to us and who desire VA to
govern the islands. fear to assert them
selves because they know that III they
should do so and the Americans should
abandon them they would be In great
danger OF their lives and In all prob-
ability their property would be con-
fiscated
ION September 9Th | had n little
fight with the enemy at this point, but
ii did not amount to much, although
as important as some other engage
merits which nave been dignified in the
papers as fight. | am sorry To say
that much which appears in the pa
pers OF the United States is gross ex-
a~ggeration. | expect to be on hans
for congress. With high regards. etc"
