Football Mt Sioux Falls.

Sioux Falls, S. d., Sept. 20.-Now
that the base ball season is over it is
time to look for foot ball. This has al
ways been u popular sport in this city.
While Sioux Falls has never yet had a
star aggregation, she has always had u
good foot ball team. The conditions
are such this year that Sioux Falls
should have a crackerjack eleven. For
q foundation we have al Larson, who
made such a good reputation while
playing with the Madison university
eleven last year.
John II. Snyder, jr., who has man
aged the foot ball teams for the past
three years will return to Sioux Falls
shortly and he will undoubtedly organ
ize a team. At present we have three
games in sight provided a team is or
ganized. Sioux City has written for a
game, as has also Vermillion. The
manager of the st. Cloud foot ball team
was in the city last week for the pur-
pose of making arrangements for a
game to be played in this city along
about November ]. There will be other
teams in the field. LeMars can be re.
lied upon for at least IL game.

Los Angeles, Cal, Sept. 2O.-Practic.

yesterday. The buildings destroyed
We're those of the Los Angeles Farm
ing and Milling company, the Perry
Mill and Lumber company and the
plant of j. II. Holbrook, dealer in
iron pipe and well castings. In addi-
ton large amounts of lumber were de.
stroyed.
Three tiremen were injured in the
fire, two of them probably fatally.
The fire originated in the engine
room of the Perry Mill and Lumber
company. A spark from the engine
fell into a pile of shavings and inn.
mediately the whole place was in a
blaze. The Los Angeles Farming and
Milling company had a stock on hand
valued. with the expensive machinery,
at 100000, which is practically a total
loss; insurance, 500, 900. The Perry
Lumber and Milling company carried
a stock valued at SIPS, 900, including a
large number of valuable patterns,
which would be difficult to replace.
This company only carried $4,000 in
surance. There are a number OF
small individual losses which foot up
in the aggregate the amount named.

FEAT IN SURGERY.

Operation Performed on Young
Duryen, Whose Neck Was Broken.
New York, Sept. 2O.-An extraordi-
nary surgical operation was per-
formed yesterday on Walter Duryea,
30 years old, son of Edward Duryea,
the millionaire starch manufacturer.
On August Z he dived into shallow wa
ter and broke his neck. Since that
time he has lain OH a water mattress,
encased in plaster of paris, part of his
body paralyzed.
An x-ray photograph of the neck
and spine revealed with great distinct
ness the fractured parts of the back
bone. %Splinters of bone were disclosed
pressing upon the spinal cord and pro-
ducing n paralysis of arms. legs and.
back. It was decided to lay bare the
fractured fifth and sixth v%e1tebrae, re-
move the splinters and await results.
Owing to the patients weakness an
anesthetic could not be administered,
but cocaine dulled the nerves of the
back. The injury to the spinal cord
was found to be even worse than they
had feared. The physicians say young
Duryea has a fair chance of recovery.

CHAIRMAN JONES' VIEWS.
General Reamrn,atIon of Chicago
Platform His 1dea.

General ReafhrnlatIon of Chicago
Platform His Idea.
New York, Sept. 19.-The Worlds
London correspondent y
1 interviewed Senator Jones Of Ar
kansas at the Langham hotel. The
senator is visiting Europe for his
health, which is much improved. Cues
toned on the. democratic platform, he
said:
The campaign is too far off to state
positively what the platform will be,
but in my opinion it should be against
Imperialism and in favor of u control
OF trusts, in fact, in a general way u
reafirmation of the Chicago platform.
1t would involve bimetallism and
would also involve a demand for a re-
vision Of the tariff when necessary, for
tariff revision would be perhaps the
more emphatic by reason of the Ding
ley bill being now on the statute
books. I think the democratic party
is likely to express itself positively
on the questions of Imperialism and
control Of trusts"
When asked: Have you seen the
strongly expressed opinions OF Adj
miral Dewey on imperialism and in
favor of giving autonomy to the Fill
pinos," Jones replied that he had not
heard that before. ~ have no seen
many newspapers lately, but am very
glad to hear it," said he.
Jones will spend the next ten days
in ireland. He leaves Queenstown for
New York on the 30th.

HOW The WAR NAY BEGIN.
Formal Declaration on England's
Part Not likely.

London, Sept. 1e.-(Copyright. 1899,
by the Associated Press.)-Specuia-
ton regarding the events that would
Immediately precede and follow hos
~tilities with the Transvaal continues
to occupy public attention. 1t APP
pears that no declaration of war is
necessary. The process, according. to
good authority, would be a proclama-
ton by the British high commission
er, Sir Alfred Miner, stating that the
convention of London is annulled and
that Queen Victoria has resumed the
government of the country known as
the South African Republic. The gem
eral commanding the British expedi-
tionary forces would then be instruct
ed to occupy the Transvaal and hold
it until q fresh government is estab-
lished. When the country is pacifed
u commission, doubtless representing
all clnsses of the Inhabitants of the
Transvaal, would be appointed to
draft o new constitution.
That all this is easier said than done
is quite palpable ever to the most en-
thusiastic Englishman. Estimates Of
the strength Of the Beers widely di-
verge. John Morley referred to them

in the field, while the war Office Off
Gals seem to think that 25,O00 is all
they could muster. AS a matter of
fact, their strength entirely depends
upon the assistance they receive from
the Orange Free State and the natives,
which it Is impossible to gauge. The

nARD MONEY MARKET.
T%ighlness Due to the Treasury
Heavy Dratn on Banks.

Tighlness Due to the Treasury
Heavy Drain on Ranks.
New York, Sept. 19.-The Financiar
says: The clearing house banks of
New York City, according to their re-
port for the week ending September
16, lost about 5000, 900 in cash as a re-
suit Of the previous six days opera
tons. More than half of this was abb
sorbed by the treasury and the rest
went to the interior. The banks re-
ported September 9 less than $5,000,0O0
cash over legal requirements, so that
the decrease for the week was larger
than the available fund frcm which
to draw ii. The result, needless to
say, was accomplished by a heavy con-
traction in loans, with a resultant
shrinking in deposits. Despite the loss,
more reserve than required by law.
Practically they have reached the
limit of their power to supply new
money, and further demands must be
met by renewed operations of the
character named-that is, borrowers
will be called upon to liquidate their
Indebtedness. This foreshadows,
naturally, a continued hard money
market, rates 90 not seem
to be able to hold above 6 per cent
under circumstances that ordinarily
would indicate n money famine. The
truth of the matter is that the situa-
ton is SO well understood hat there is
no apprehension whatever. If money
works much higher in New York, the
idle surpluses which are held else
where will be quickly forced to this
center, with u consequent lessening Of
pressure. The trouble from n bank
ing standpoint is the heavy drain
which the treasury is making on the
banks. The loss since the end of July
has been upward of ST., ooO, 1000, a sum
much greater than has gone to the in
terror. Once this drain is relieved, all
trouble over the future will be elimi-
mated. At present, however, it is a
serious fector. One year ago, it may
be remarked, the excess reserve of the
New York banks was only above
S $1,000, 900, but a few weeks later the
total had risen to 500, 900, 1000.
Gold imports assisted in creating
this increase. There is no immediate
sign that last years. method of Ne,
cuperation is to be repeated now.

PENNG GOVERNMENT
MAKES / PROTEST
to General Otis Order Ex.
Guiding Chinese from the
Philippines.
noLA1los OF EXISTING TREATIES
The Order Is Also Declared to Be
Contrary / o International Law
Protest Flied With State
Department.

Washington. Sept. 20.-The imperial
Chinese government. through its min
|ister here, Mr.. WI Ting-Fang, has
lodged with the state department an,
emphatic protest against the military
order of General Otis excluding Chi
nese from inc Philippines. Neither
the state department nor the Chinese
egation will give any information con-
.erning the protest, but from entirely
reliable quarters it is learned that it
insists that General, Otis action is con
rary to international law, in violation
Of existing treaties. and in complete
disregard of the friendly relations
which have been so long maintained
between the two countries.
The matter was promptly brought to
the attention of the president, as the
protest was of such a character as to
give the subject an international as
pect considerably beyond the purely
military questions involved. 1t is said
that among the specific points of pro-
test submitted by the Chinese govern
ment is that such an order is a depart
ure from the announced purpose of the
president of the United States to main.
tain the present status of affairs in the
Philippines until congress had deter
mined a permanent condition.
The military phases of the question
have been referred to Secretary Root.
General Otis order was issued some
time ago, without direction from
Washington, and apparently as a mil
ttary necessity, and is signed by him
self as military governor of the Philip
pines, and by Brigadier General Chas.
A. Whitaker, as collector Of customs,
having supervision of Chinese affairs.
It says:
THE laws of the United States,
which prohibit the entrance of Chi
nese, will be enforced here"
The decree then excerpts such Chi
nese as have previously lived in the
Philippines and who hold certificates
showing this fact. Chinese officials,
travellers, etc, excepted under the
treaty between the United States and
China. are exempt. AS very few Chi
nese other than those now in the Phil
ippines come within the exceptions the
effect of the decree is 10 make the ex-
clusion practically absolute.
1t is understood that the Chinese
government regards the outcome Of
this protest with much apprehension.
1t is pointed out that the Chinese have
been long in the Philippines. and that
a considerable branch Of the industry
of the islands is conducted by them
and that this complete termination Of
q long and broad communication be-
tween China and the Philippines in
jures these people, both personally and
financially.
The Chinese protest is said to be
couched in most dignifed and courte-
Gus terms, but to be SO pointed that no
doubt is left as to the deep umbrage
the Chinese government feels over this
order of General Otis.
