The big Columbia men make an ideal COM
bination. for Morley is a whirIwind as a
line breaker and Weeks is an end-skirter
of great ability. That Morley can also gain
on end plays and Weeks on line assaults
the Yale game proved, and the two backs
are of great aid to the team in defensive
work. Weeks handling of McBride's puuts
was Of the first order, and except in kicking
the Columbia halves are unusually able
players. Weeks is a mere boy. despite
the fact that he weighs 10 pounds, and he
has a brilliant future on the gridiron. His
runs through a broken field took the crowd,
Yale men and Columbia men alike by
storm. He is remarkably shifty on his
feet. but does not impress the spectators
with his speed. Weeks apparently pays
little attention 10 a stiff arm guard to
throw of tacklers, which makes his sue
cess in that particular all the more Iuz-
zling A peculiar trick or checking his
pace or increasing it for an instant carried
him past most Of the Yale taCklers. Old
players, who remembered the games played
back in the eighties, compared Weeks to

back McBride's old trick of hurdling the

Member of the Wisconsin Supreme
Bench, Passes Away.

Madison, Wis, April 3.-Former JUS
tice Silas U. Pinney, of the supreme
court, died at his home here Saturday
night from dropsy. He had been seri-
ously ill for eight months, and his

adjourn over that day.
Judge Pinney was &c years old, and went

of great dignity and of remarkably strik-
ing appearance. He came to Wisconsin in
1886, and began to practice law in 1854 From
that time on he was prominent figure in
the courts and in politics. He was associ-
ated at different times with three. of the

CANAL COMMISSION.
Names of the Men to BE Selected to
Study: Both the Isthmian and
Nicaraguan Routes.

Washington, April 3.-The isthmian
canal commission, recently authorized
by congress, will be appointed by the
president this week. There will be
seven members. The names definitely
liked upon are: Rear Admiral Walker,
brig. Gen. Haines, Prof. Haupt, of the
Nicaraguan canal commissions; Civil
Engineer Noble, of Chicago, member
OF the Ludlow canal commission; Mai.
Frank Symonds, corps of engineers;
Civil Engineer Voigt. The seventh
member of the commission may be
Civil Engineer Morrison, of New York,
whose name is under consideration by
the president, and who has been in
Washington during the past three days.
Under the terms of the act of con-
gress the commission will examine both
the Panama and Nicaraguan routes.
The president is anxious that it shall
begin it's work Immediately, as he de-
sires it to submit it's report to the first
session of the next congress in order
that an appropriation may be obtained
from that body for commencing the
work of constructing the canal.
Rear Admiral Walker is expediting
the work of preparing the report of the
Nicaraguan canal commission, and it
will be ready for submission to the
president within the next ten days.
There will be seven routes estimated
upon, but the commission has de-
termined not to change it's recommen-
dation in favor of the Lull route, though
some small changes in the route on the
eastern side will be suggested. I'M
nediately upon the appointment of the
new commission it will assemble at the
state department, where it will receive
its instructions from the president
through Secretary Hay. Secretary
Long will be requested to place war
ship at the disposal of the commission,
and the vessel will convey the body to
Colon, where it will make an examina-
ton of the Panama canal. Upon the
completion of this examination.
which will take short time, Rear
Admiral Walker and his associates will
proceed to Nicaragua, where they will
make an examination of the Nicara-
guam route.

THE BEEF INQUIRY.
More Evidence Is Brought Out al
Saturdays Session in WASH
ingtOn.

Washington, April 3.-The military
court to Investigate the beef question
held only one session Saturday, but
nevertheless examined an unusually
large number of witnesses, including
several army surgeons in charge of hos
pitfalls. The testimony was generally
to the effect that they had no expe-
rience with canned beef and that as far
as they knew the health of their pa
tients had not been affected by it's use.
The court also heard the testimony of
Greenleaf w. Simpson, of Boston, now
engaged in furnishing beef on the hoof
to the troops at inland points in Cuba,
who stated that he had had several in
terviews with Gen. Eagan prior to the
letting of bids for the troops at San
tiago and had urged the impossibility
of satisfactorily supplying beef to the
Cuban troops in any other way than on
the hoof or on the block. He said that
he informed the tcommissary general
that the beef would not keep "a hours;
intact, that it would begin to spoil with
in two hours after issue. Gen. Eagan,
Mr.. Simpson testified, later told him
that he had decided to purchase refrig-
orator meat and spoke of experiments
with preservatives, then being made.
While Mr.. Simpson was undergoing ex-
animation Maj. Lee sought to draw out
information concerning his present
contract, but was stopped by Gen.
Wade, president of the commission,
who said that this was outside the line
embraced in the inquiry. Another wit
ness told of meat spelling on the ship
while being transported to Simpsons
fleet. Large quantities were con-
demned, but considerable of the meat,
although tainted, was issued to the ves-

THE CUBAN PAYMENT.
Government VIII Not Consider Any
Proposition to Pay Army More
Than $3,OOO,OOO.

Washington, April St is reiterated
by two members of the cabinet that no
consideration will be paid to any propo-
sition for money for the Cuban army
outside the $3,OOO,O 900 fund now await
ing their acceptance, and furthermore
it is limited that if too much trouble and
deliberate delay occurs preliminary to
that amount being turned over to the
Cubans, the 100000 will be with
drawn and no payment of any sort be
made by this government on account of
the Cuban troops. No proposition for
an additional sum will be considered
in any form and the statement to that
effect by Secretary Hay in the unof-
fetal interview with the two delegates
from the assembly will stand. 1t is
also stated by cabinet officials that no
attention will be paid to the project for
authorizing a Cuban loan.
