performances. They have been frank and
open with US throughout
While Mr.. Jackson was talking Mr..
Wendell. who had charge of the American
team, came up and shook hands with Mr..
Jackson, saying:
Il heartily congratulate you. We could
not both win, and am sure to-day's con-
test will cement the friendship between
the universities, and that our athletes will
always be good friends.
1t was learned that Burke has been
troubled with his stomach ever since the
arrival of the team in England. although
Mr.. Wendell managed to keep the secret,
and the athlete was by no means himself
to-day.
The Prince Of Wales was especially de-
lighted with the hurdle race, and sent
message of congratulation to Fox, the
winner of the event.
Steward s. Brooks of Yale, who held
the Yale quarter-mile record, said at the
conclusion of the games: The friends OF
Yale and Harvard are satisfied that the
team lost the games on merits. OF course
Burke'S failure was the crucial test That
is where we went down. That was due to
causes that could not have been prevented
and we have no explanation or excuses TO
offer. 1t was evident when the race was
half run that Burke was not in the form
we anticipated We expected to have
lost the hurdle race and the dash rather
than the halfmile, but that only shows
how difficult il is to determine specific
results on the day before a race"
e. J. Wendell. the Harvard steward,
said: mo word of explanation or excuse
can come from any friend of the Amerf-
can team. We met in the handsomest
spirit and lost fairly on our merits or
demerits. Certainly no one can say more
of English hospitality or sportsmanship,
and no friend of Yale or Harvard has
word of complaint to utter"

IngersolI, who was convicted with
Tweed. one lot for "a nominal Consld-
Grafton of $4,000" When Mr.. Root
was asked if he had any reply to make
he said: Not a word. l shall nave
nothing to say now or at any othef
time. 1 shall ignore the WhoIe mat
ter''
Mr.. Root in 1886, when the Senate was
investigating the Broadway franchise
steal, was counsel for G. F. F>rothlng-
ham and others who had invested IN
the securities of the Broadway road.
The franchise had been granted illegal
ly, and the question was whether 1t be-
longed to the people or to the investors,
and it was suggested that bribery,
fraud and general corruption had been
employed. The securities finally passed
into the hands of the Metropolitan
Traction Company, Of which Mr.. Root
is chief counsel.
Among the noteworthy cases in which
Mr. Root has appeared was that
against the whisky trust in 1892, when
an attempt was made in Massachusetts
to have it declared illegal. Mr.. Root
appeared in defense of the trust.
Mr.. Root has been an independent
Republican in local politics, and for
many years was one Of the leaders IN
the fight against the PIatt machine. He
is still attorney for the Traction Com
pany, and its counsel have given Mr..
Vreeland opinions to the erect that the
ten-hOur law is not worth the paper
that it is written on, and pointing out
ways of evading it.
Politicians fear that Mr.. Root will BIS
a heavy load for the administration to
carry next fall, as labor leaders declare
that the ten-hour law will be made an
issue in the campaign, and that Presi
dent Mckinley must answer for his sec
retary.
Mr.. Root was mentioned prominently
for ambassador to Great Britain when
Joseph H. Choate was chosen. Mr. Root
has never had anything to do with mill
tary affairs. He is reserved and dignf-
fed in his manner, and is an eloquent
and convincing speaker.

RURALES FOR CUBA

The United States to Organize a
Military System Patterned
After That of Mexico.

MONTEREY, Mexico, July 22.-Lieuten.
ant Powell Clayton Jr. of the Fifth United
States Cavalry passed through here to-
day on his way to the City of Mexico,
where he is military attache on the staff
of Minister Powell Clayton. Lieutenant
Clayton is returning from Washington
where he presented to the War Depart
ment an exhaustive report on the subject
of the rural military organization of Mex.
leo known as the rurales.
The United States War Department pro-
poses to form a similar military organize
ton for service in Cuba and Porto Rico
and Lieutenant Clayton was instructed
about two months ago to make a study
of the Mexican rurales and submit a re
port on that organization to the War De.
partment at the earliest possible moment
Ramirez, chief of the rurales, rendered
Lieutenant Clayton much valuable assist
ance in his work. There are seven regf
ments of rurales in Mexico, and they are
distributed throughout the mountain dis
tricts where they are the terror of the
few existing bands of brigands.]

ROOTS CAREER
AS AN ATTORNEY

NEW YORK, July 22.-Elihu Root is
one of the most successful corporation
lawyers in New York. Born in Clinton,
a small town in Oneida County, n. Y,
ffty-six years ago, the son of Professor
Oren Root of Hamilton College, he sup
ported himself by tutoring while study
ing law in the New York University
Law School. He was admitted to the
bar in 1867 and has won for himself his
practice. which is said to bring him an
income of $50, 900 a year. He first came
into prominence as one of the counsel
for William M Tweed in 1873.
Richard Croker in the campaign last
fall made a savage attack upon Mr..
Root. Croker asserted that Root had
received from Tweed four lots on Mad
ison avenue "at a nominal considera-
tion of 800, ,000," and from Thomas H.

DELEGATES ADOPT THE
ARBITRATION SCHEME
The Third Committee of the Interna
tional Peace Congress Con-
cludes Its Labors.

THE HAGUE, July 22-The third COM
mittee of the International Peace Con-
ference held a session to-day under the
presidency of Leon Bourgeois of the
French delegation and adopted article 8
as modified. The article now reads: I'm
international disputes involving neither
country's honor nor essential interests,
arising from divergence of opinion on
points of fact, the signatory powers deem
1t advisable that parties which are unable
to agree by diplomatic means shall fnst-
tute so far as circumstances will permit,
an official inquiry, whose duty 1t shall be
to facilitate the solution of these disputes
by clearing up the questions of fact by
means of an impartial, conscientious ex-
animation"
After adopting article and passing the
second reading of the five articles dealing
with commissions of inquiry. the commit
tee adopted, with slight verbal modifica-
tions articles SO to SO of the arbitration
scheme and then adopted the scheme as
a whole bringing the labOrS of the COM
mittee to successful conclusion.
Count Nigra, head of the Italian delega-
ton, on behalf of his colleagues thanked
NJ Bourgeois, who, Count Nigra said. had
directed the discussions with distinction,
authority and impartiality," and in a con-
ciliatory spirit.
The committee will meet formally on
Tuesday next to read the minutes of it's
proceedings. and afterward a plenary
meeting of the conference will be held for
the final acceptance of the arbitration
scheme.
The entire proceedings are expected to
be brought to an end by the latter part Of
next week. The technical delegates are
already leaving.

minutes later a doctor came along.
After an examination he found Will

Another accident happened at Cou-

The automobile came into collision with
a butchers cart. Nine. Huendt's inju-

Accidents are reported almost daily.
AS a general thing they are due to the
furious speed at which autOmObtlists
tear through the streets. In Paris the
timid are afraid TO cross the roads in
spite of all police regulations intended
to impose a check upon reckless auto
mobilists.
The Temps a couple Of nights ago de-
voted an editorial to this very subject,
saying autOmObilism has been rather

MORE TROUBLE FOR
UNION BANK OFFICIALS
Depositors Threaten to Institute Pro
ceedings on Criminal
Charges

SAN JOSE, July 22.-There is posi-
bility that criminal proceedings will be
commenced against the Board of Di-
rectors that was in charge of the Union
Savings Bank when it failed. For
some time depositors have not been
pleased with the way the settlement
has been turning out. Although the
old officials assured them they would
receive dollar for dollar. it is said the
depositors will not get over 40 cents on
the dollar.
At a largely attended meeting Of de-
positors to-day a resolution was intro
duced authorizing the chairman to ap-
point a committee of five to investigate
the advisability Of commencing pro-
CeedingS against certain mem berS OF
the old board of officials. The resolu-
ton carried unanimously, but there was
a hitch in the selecting of the commit
tee. This committee will be named al
a meeting to be held next Saturday.
The report of the expert on the banks
books showed there was negligence for
years in the institutions bookkeeping,
The report virtually states that the
system of keeping books was so mixed
that the expert was unable to tell
whether there had been any crooked
ness on the part of officials or not. It
is said the depOsitOrs propose to inYes-
tigate and they declare If there is any
wrOng-doing the guilty ones Will be
punished.
The management committee of the
depositors consists of H A. Marckres,

It is from this committee that a sub
committee will be appointed to conduct

SOUTHERN PACIFIC MAKES
AN OFFER TO SCALPERS

Los ANGELES, July 22.-The railroads
are seeking to effect a compromise with
their foes, the scalpers. a story current
today was that the Southern Pacific had
made overtures to take from the brokers
their stocks Of National Educational As
sociation tickets, which ii would be con-
tempt of Judge Shaw's department of the
Superior Court to sell to the general pub
lie. The brokers seen to-day Insisted. that
such an offer had been made to them d.
rectly by Assistant General Passenger
Agent Luce, and that the offer had been
taken under advisement. The brokers are
TO meet on Monday and decide what Is
best for them 70 do. '
Subordinate officials Of the Santa Fee 1t
is alleged, wired to headquarters at Chi
Cago for instructions in the premises
Some brokers contend that Judge Shaw S
injunction is not so serious as the decree
of court appears on its face for the rea-
son that the writ, while prohibiting Ger
tain individuals, who are named, from
dealing in National Educational Associa-
ton tickets, cannot be made to apply to
any one else. When this alleged fact was
called TO The attention Of the Santa Fe
law office the statement was character
lied as rubbish. for the reason that the
courts ruling prohibited not only the
several brokers mentioned by name from
handling taboOed tickets, but also any
and all Of their employees.

PARIS. July 22-Automobile tours
are becoming very popular. This
growth of touring seems likely to re-
store prosperity to roadside inns that
railways appeared to have destroyed
forever. 1t may also revive the mori-
bund art of cooking. Trips are now or
ganized to the most t-Of-the-way
spots, the roads in this country being
so universally excellent that the only
thing TO be considered is the place
where a good inn is located. An auto
mobilist here, speaking to me this
morning about the trip Mr.. Davis is
making across the American continent,
said dryly: In planning a tour here
we look out for a place for a good din
ner In the United States you seem TO
have 10 look out for places where you

respondent declares that he received
the news direct from the head of the
company that has made it. This detail
in my opinion. instead Of confirming
the truth of the news, gravely compro-
misses it. AS the head of any firm which
had sold an automobile for the use of
the Pope or any one else of distinction,
he would have seen to it that the name

The three-mile run was the next event
of the day. After going about fifty yards
the three Englishmen singled themselVeS
in line, Wilberforce just leading Work
man and Smith, Foote Clark and Pal
ner of the Yale-Harvard team following
closely. This order was retained during
the second lap, except that Palmer went
minutes 58 seconds. Wilberforce still
led but shortly afterward retired and
Smith took up the running just ahead OF
Workman, with Clark and Palmer a
couple of yards behind and Foote Iorty
feet away. In the backstretch Clark sud
denly plunged head foremost on the track,
with Workman. Shortly after this Smith
fell in front of the pavilion. The race
was now left to Workman and Palmer
In the eighth lap both led alternately.
and coming by the Yale stand the plaudits
of his fellow collegians caused Palmer to
make final effort but Workman was
running very strongly and again went to
the front and won as he liked.

HOOTED BY NEWSBOYS.

NEW YORK, July 22.-The newsboys'
strike against the World and Journal
promises to be successful. Popular sym
pathy is with the boys, who have pla-
carded the city asking the public not TO
only when the youthful strikers attempt
violence, but do not tear down the notices
posted up. The newsboys stop World
and Journal wagons on Broadway and
scatter papers ali over the street. They
snatch yellow journals from the hands Of
pedestrians. The World and Journal en-
ploy men at 81 A day to sell papers.
William r. Hearst was in Herald

if they might attack him. He, finally
made his escape, followed by the bowling
