Bethany college boys held the strong

foot ball kickers down to five points at
Recreation Park this afternoon This
was much better than the West Vir-

scrappy and played on muddy field.
The slippery ball caused much fumbling
and twice in the first half w. q. p.
carried the ball to Bethany's 10 yard
line, but lost by failure to gain dis
tance.
In the second half w. U. P. carried
the ball over by rapid work, but los
ing it on a tumble The play resulted
in a touchdown for Bethany.
The visitors claimed unfair treatment
by the referee. Sweeney, one OF Beth
any's men, was ruled out of the game
In the first half for getting into mix
I'D with Weber, of W. U. P.
The West virginians threatened to
withdraw, but in the interval between
the halves they agreed to continue. In
the second half the referee again gave
chem the worst of it, and they left the
field. Capt. Robson, of w. U. p, in
duced them to come back.
The trouble was caused by the referee
deciding that touch-back was touch
down. NJ Connell, w. U. p, had car
ried the ball over the line, but when
tackled by Fisher, of Bethany, dropped
DIT before the ball hal been downed,
Bruff falling on it for a touchdown.

CHANGE FOR THE WORSE
Condition of Mr. oIngley Gives But Litte
Hope for Recovery.

Washington, Jan. 6.-The condition
of Representative Nelson Dingley Of
Maine, who has been i'll with pneu-
monia for almost a week, has under
gone marked change for the worse,
and tonight his physicians held out lit
tie II any hope for recovery. Although
the lung has improved considerably and
the cough has lessened, the effect Of
the pneumonia has SO weakened the
system as to decrease the vitality to
an alarming extent.
The poison from the disease has per-
meated the whole system, which rem
ders it less potent to stand the terrible
strain. Much of the day the patient
was delirious and apt to be uttering
extracts from speeches he had made on
the tariff question in the House of Rep
resentatives. He was conscious only
when aroused. The physicians say
there must be a radical change one
way or another very soon.
At 2 o'clock this morning there was
no material change in Mr.. Dingiey s
condition.

BOILER BURSTS.
Nine Men Killed and Many
Injured.

London, Jan. GA big boiler, while
being tested in Hewitts' shipbuilding
yard at Barking. town about seven
miles from here. burst today and the
experimenting engineer and eight
men were killed. About 40 persons
were injured, some fatally. The bodies
of the dead were frightfully mutilated.
The whole shipbuilding works was
wrecked. A lad was found dead 800
yards from the scene of the disaster.
A number Of men and boys are miss
ing. The windows in houses half a
mile away were shattered.
The terrific force of the explosion
may be judged from the fact that one
of the huge plates OF the boiler plunged
through a building a quarter Of a mile
distant and that debris was hurled
hundreds of yards in all directions. The
factory itself, which covered several
acres, was practically razed and all the
dwellings and shops IN its immediate
vicinity were to all intents and pur-
poses wrecked. Windows were shat
tered mile away and telegraph and
telephone wires were blown on all
sides. Distressing scenes were wit
messed among the mothers, wives and
other relatives of the employees.

A 12-HOUR RACE.
The International Event
Starts Off Auspiciously.

New York, Jan. 6.-The first annual in
ternational 2-hour bicycle race, unpaced,
which was begun on Madison Square Gar
den track tonight, brought a fairly large
and decidedly representative gathering of
bicycle enthusiasts to the big ampitheatre.
Burns w. Pierce of Boston, one of the
contestants, holds the track record Of 457
miles 176 yards, he having ridden that
distance in the first "a hours of the recent
six days contest, which was won by
Charles w. Miller of Chicago. The paced
record for "a hours is held by Louis Gimm
of Pittsburg, who covered 4S6 miles in
that time. 1t is not unlikely that by 10
o'clock tomorrow night the figures for
twice around the clock will be changed.
OF the 10 men whose entries were accent
ed by the management the only absentee
was Alfred S. Ellrich. a German-Ameri-
can.
Pierce is the favorite, but Miller, Wal
len Hale and Gimm have a host of fol-
lowers. Prior to the appearance of the
long distance men #. A. Maggie of New
York won the professional half-mile
event by couple of feet from Ivan Law
son Of Chicago. The mile handicap for
amateurs was won by r. L. Kramer of
Hast Orange N. ].
Baby Gibson of Cincinnati won two
straight mile heats, paced by one tandem
from Joe Downey, the Boston youth
The first man in the big race to appear
on the track was Pierce, and he was
greeted with generous applause He was
followed by Waller, and then the rest Of
them came in quick succession
At the start at 10 o'clock tho first to
SHOW in front was Frederick Michael, the
swiss rider followed closely by Albert
Stevens, Hale, Waller and Pierce. At the
end OF the frSt mile Miller jumped into
the lead. and the crowd cheered the

COSTLY DIPLOMAS.
What Graduates Have to Pay to University
of Havana.

Havana, Jan. 6-Gov. Gen. Brooke is
penetra ting the fringe of the educa-
tional question.
Today he learned that diplomas to
graduates of the University of Havana
were signed under the late regime by
the captain general and subjected to a
tax of $3.50 each.
He has issued instructions to the rec
tor of the university and the directors
to grant diplomas hereafter without a
diploma tax. Three hundred young men
are now in attendance at the univer-
sity.
At the request of Gen. Brooke the
Bank of Spain has reported as to the
amount of the primary school funds it
holds on deposit, The bank has $4,000
in paper, currency worth about six
cents on the dollar; $101 in silver and
S77 in bronze. The teachers have been
unpaid for a long time, the arrears
varying in individual cases according to
political influence. Nothing can be done
at present for education, sanitation or
road building. Everything must wait
until Generals Brooke and Ludlow and
their staffs can get definite grasp Of
perpleXing situations.

Company now controls all the Bell in

think sooner or later all the companies
working under Bell licenses will be
combined into one great corporation,
just as all Of the several telegraph
companies of this country were merged
into the Western Union Company a
quarter of a century ago. 1 have no
official knowledge that this is at pres

natural tendency towards such a

CABINET IN SESSION.
Special Consideration Given to the Affairs
in Cuba

in Cuba
Washington, Jan. 6.-The cabinet to-
day gave special consideration to the
administration of affairs in Cuba.
There seems to be a misunderstand-
ing among some of the people Of Santi-
ago as to the policy of the government
with respect to the expenditure of
money collected from internal revenue
and customs sources
1t is not believed that Gen. Wood
misunderstands the purposes of the
government, but in any event nothing
Will be done in the matter until Gen.
Wood arrives here. Then an effort will
be made to arrive at some general plan
for the handling of receipts in the is
land. 1t seems certain, however, that
all moneys disbursed must come
through a central head and that under
no circumstances can any particular
city or section be allowed to expend
all of its collections to the neglect of
other sections. Gen. Wood, however,
will receive a proper and probably d
sufficient allowance for Santiago prov
ince, but full consideration is certain
TO be given to sections which collect
nothing or little from customs.
1t is very likely that soon after Gan.
WOODS return to Santiago the COVER
nors of the several provinces will be
instructed to assemble for a discussion
OF the question of their respective
needs for administrative purposes and
also for pressing Internal improve
mentS.
Nothing of special interest hes been
received by the government from noilo.

rnec nf ,tEs,t \, ~.
has full confidence in its representa-
tives on the ground, and no further ac-
ton will be taken until something fur
