Depew for Expansion.

Chauncey M. Depew was the guest of
the Independent club in Buffalo last
week, and made a speech in which he
strongly advocated the policy of national
expansion. Among other things he said:
1--WE have the opinion of Dewey, one
of the great men whom this wal has de.
veloped, and of Gen. Merritt, a wise OBJ
server, that when the inhabitants of the
Philippine Islands appreciate what
American protection and law means they
will become one of the most obedient,
law.abiding and productive populations
in the world. The vast trade of Cuba,
which heretofore went to Spain and to
Europe, will now come to us, and be
enormously increased by Americans, who
will flock there with capital and energy.
The development of the island will
necessarily be by leaps and bounds, be-
it deserves. by its location. its eli
mate, the richness of its soil, its mineral
possessions and its forests, its title of the
Gem of the Antilles The S~34,ooo,ooo
exports from Porto Rico, of which all but
100000 have gone to Spain will now
come to US, enhanced many fold by
American enterprise and immigration.
The Philippines TO the United States.
like Java to Holland, under the inspiring
i%niueeces of American opportunity, of
American schools and American hope,
will be an immense market and increase
of revenue over and above the cost of
administration for the United States.
Our government. firmly planted, will not
only enter the open door of the Orient
for the productions of our fields and our

Cincinnati Reds Talk of Extending
Their Southern Tour.

Cincinnati Nov. 1S.-Manager Ban
croft has returned from his trip to
Memphis. He met Tannehill, KahOe,
McPhee and Mccormick, of his team,
after his return. All of the southern
tourists except Hahn are in the city.
It is not known whether Hahn will
come here from Nashville or join the
team at Memphis.
The stay of the tourists is indefinite.
It all depends on the length Of the trip.
1t Will be determined when they reach
New Orleans whether they Will go on
to Cuba or whether they will return
north.
The chances are that the trip will be
extended to Cuba. Manager Bancroft
is very enthusiastic about playing the
principal cities on the island. Charlie
Frank, the Outfielder who used to be
with the st. Louis Browns, is a resident
of Memphis. Frank told Manager Ban
croft that there was rich picking in
Havana for an enterprising baseball
Havana under the management of
''Muggsey'' McGraw. He advised Ban
croft to get McGraw by all means.
"fMcGraW is a great favOrite in Cuba,
said Frank. He used to wear a yellow
uniform when he played there, and they
call him the yellow devil If you get
him your trip to cuba is sure to be
success
Acting on the tip, Manager Bancroft
yesterday wired McGraw, asking him
to join the tourists, providing it was
decided to go to Cuba.

He Explains Why He Kept on Jefries

Chicago, Nov. 1S.-Referee George
Siler arrived in the city last night from
New York. While willing to discuss
the big fight he had little to say for
publication on the ground that he did
not wish to stir up matters which al
ready had been thoroughly discussed.
He is satisfied that his decision has
been vindicated and that the only men
bearing animus in the matter are those
who lost money on Sharl1ey. Prominent
supporters of Sharkey have since ad-
mitted to friends that the decision was
Siler kept on Jefries' side of the ring
because it was the coolest. The cleo
trfc lights hung over the stage for the
purpose Of taking the pictures, started
about five feet away from Jeffries' cor
ner and extended about the same dis
tance past the other side of the ring,
on which the picture machines were
located. Sharkey, therefore, had the
hottest corner.
Said Siler:
Behind Jeffries was an electric fan
placed in such a position that its breeze
came in the right direction Sharkey's
fan was placed higher up and was not
so effective. AS soon as realized this
I staid on Jeffries side as much as pos
sible. The pictures will bear me out
in the statement. These, by the way,
I saw on Tuesday afternoon, and they
are perfect.

Previous to the big fight Dougherty,
manager of O'Brien, insisted that he
wanted me to referee the contest be
tween his man and Erne. He was a
strong supporter of Sharkey and lost
money. This probably was the cause Of
his objection to me. In the articles of

weights a clause was inserted that the

MAY SETTLE CHAMPIONSHIP.
Maroons Willing to Meet the Winner
of Neutrality-suspicious. Game.

Chicago Nov. 1S-The western foot
ball championship may yet be settled
before the season closes by Chicago
PLAYING the winner of the Michigan
Wisconsin game after Thanksgiving
day. Such a contest is now under con-
sideration and has the approval of at
least TWO of the parties concerned.
The matter was proposed and discuss
ed at the meeting of the Chicago ath-
letic board Tuesday. At that time it
was thought that Chicago was not in a
position to issue a challenge. Later de-
VelOpmentS yesterday showed that such
a proposition would not be frOwned
upon by either Michigan or Wisconsin.
Alumni of these institutions have taken
the matter up and through. them it is
thought an agreement will be reached
in time to arrange for such a contest.
In case it can be arranged the game
will probably be played on December
9Th.
Manager Fisher of Wisconsin pro-
posed several weeks ago to play the
marOOns on that date, but Stagg, fear
ing the possible defeat of the cardinal,
declined to play after THANKSGIVING He
is willing now to play the badgers if
they trOunce Michigan on turkey day.
Manager Baird, who was in town yes
terday, said he had not thought of
Chicago game after Thanksgiving, but
did not think it an impOssibility.
At a meeting of the Chicago alumni
last evening the matter was discussed
fully, and it was agreed that an effort
should be made to make thu match.
The first lineup since the Northwest
ern game was held last night at the
University of Chicago. The regulars
faced a strong scrub team, and played a
hard practice game of thirty minutes.
The work was ragged at times, but on
the whole satisfactory. Speed was the
only regular missing, and he will be out
of the game for week. He will prob
ably go east to see the Harvard Yale
game next Saturday. Ahlswede, the
star guard, will be snapper back for the
varsity in the absence of Speed, Erwin
playing right guard.
