FOOTBALL IN CHINA.

Cinnamon are generally not credited
with being quick TO accept innova-
tions. so that when II Is said that
Northern China boasts of several foot
bail teams a good deal of surprise will
be eyinced. Yet, football Is no new
game among the Ceiestials, at least
among those OF them who inhablt
Northern China, and has been In exist
ence number OF years.
OF course, the game is not played eN-
actly according TO intercollegiate rules,
the New York Herald explains, and
basket, or something which looks ike
one, replaces the modern football The
Chinamen. besides, have no goals, ana
the gidiron rs replaced by the street
of the town i'm which the deadly COM
bat Is waged, with 80 lusty Celestials
on a side.
There Is not n man among them
however who Is not six feet hign, and
several of them are three inches taller
while their average weight is about 200
pounds. The men who form the team
are inhabitants of Northern China, and
are typical of the race OF giants pro-
duced i'm that part of the world.
Lined up against them the KIN ghts OF
the gridiron of Yale or Princeton would
appear as a team of pigmes and the

gians a battle royal il they could be
induced TO appear on an American foot
ball field. \ club with a collective
weight of 2000 pounds could carry ey-
erything before it.
The main idea i'm the Chinese game
of football, as in the American. is 10
carry the wickerwork basket into the
opponents end of the town, and this
Is often done by stealth as we'll as by
brute force. There are no Commute
halves. but the game is continued until
one side accomplishes it's purposes and
IL often lasts for days.
Two hundred combatants are scat
tered over the town. and are each pro-
Vided with whistles. which they blow
In order To bring assistance. When n
scrimmage occurs the Cinnamon give
vent To their feelings i'm the most pecu-
liar noses frequently shrieking with
delight. Their ycils of triumph, which
resound through the air when the ball
is discovered, are likened by one who
has heard them to the "plaintive cry
of a pig that has been speared." The
charging is generally done with the
head.
The only precaution taken bv them
on the football field is for the pre-
servation Of their pgiails. which are
cared for as though they We're worth
a thousand times their value. With
this exception. they throw caution to
the winds. and devote themselves with
all their strength To- the play. Any
game whore brute strength is required
they would excel in.
ON the day when a football match is
10 take place the streets of the town
are cleared and the participants
sit at their windows 10 watch the game
If IL should come their way. 4 con-
siderable quantity Of opium is given to
the winning team.

The volunteers are having their in
nlngs In the Philippine campaign.
During The war with Spain they were
not given much OF a chance and but
little was heard of the Second Massa-
chusetts and Seventy-hrst New York
i'm the Santiago campaign for which
they were selected since their equip
ment OF Springfield rifles practically
threw them out as an active force on
the fghting line. Miles army in
Porto Rico contained number Of
volunteer regiments but, on the whole.
that campaign was easy fighting and
the volunteers were not given a chance
To achieve much glory or to make
many sacrifices. But with Otis i'm the
Philippines the situation is different.
The army over there is composed of
about equal parts Of volunteers and
regulars and the former are showing
up as brilliantly as the latter. The
work of the western regiments has been
all that could be asked OF soldiers and
they have added lustre 10 the volun-
teer arm Of our military organization.
According 20 the reports the Filipinos
are unable TO distinguish any practical
difference between the citizen soldiers
and Uncle Sans trained regulars when
II comes 10 n charge or assault.

learn that the City Council was COM

Mcleod was his secretary. says the

country. While Alexander wrote

So 10 speak. of somebody.
Alexander stood Pingree's urging to
write more Vituperatively without n

daV pinCree was more urgent than
ever before The idea struck Mcleod
that he would write n speech Just once
that even pinCree would not have the
nerve 30 deliver. He told little cote

Every lover OF harmony must be
panied at the evidence afforded of
difference OF opinion between the mem
bers OF the political and legal firm OF
Comstock and Gardner. Addressing
the Young Mems Club of the Calvary
Baptist church the other evening. Mr..
Gardner spoke very favorably OF the
good intentions Of the city council while
deploring the Ignorance that he had
observed was maintained in that body.
on the other hand, he Informed the
Calvary Baptist young men that the
legislature Of the State OF Rhode ISL
and was not only ignorant. but dis
honest aud rotten TO the core besides.
MIR. Comstock. however, appearing be-
fore the Assembly committee charged
with the consideration Of the police
commission bill. expressed the view
that the Assembly could be trusted 60
DO tho intelligent and honest thing by
the people. while the city council was
mostly a lot of ohumps or words to
that effect. Admitting that Mr. Com
stock could not be so lacking in TACT,
fulness as 20 denounce the members OF
the body before some of whorc
he appeared in behalf OF the caus,
OF resolving the police force into a MILL

that he and his partner arc not in
agreement as 20 the relative merits Of
The city council and the state Assem-
Bis It's great pity. Who viii de-
csde between them? Mr. Comstoci
can tolerate th, Assembly. but he
would summarily discharge the chs
council while Mr. Gardner can worry
along with the council. but would put

his way. Meantime citizens seeking riT
