NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. LAW.

Now that the county elections are over
though In some Instances acrimonious
contests I'm the courts will follow-the
people are beginning 10 give soma atten-
ton to the legislative canvass. We find
too. that the land-grabbers' law Is being
discussed; but II any candidate has been
found to say that II does not require
radical amendments we have not heard
OF him.

the bill. not foreseeing what an engine

sentiment points 10 thorough revision
and remodeIing OF the measure. AS II
stands. we doubt IL II is satisfactory TO
single community In Virginia.
1t is thought by many persons that the
Legislature will pass bills OF relief on
behalf of those who have suffered pecu-
liar hardshlps under the law. Doubtless
there are cases where legislative relief
should be afforded: but we take IL for
granted that the State Will not feel Itself
called upon 10 reimburse applicants where
the fault was with the applicant or his
attorney, and not with the officers of the
Commonwealth. Ordinarily, 1t is exceed
ingly difficult TO secure relief OF any
character, but the danger to the State
which we foresee this winter is that
nearly every member will have batch
of "relief bills" At any rate, we would
do we'll not to boast too much about the
great amount OF money the law has put
into the state Treasury until we see how
much OF 1t will have TO be refunded

Referring TO the suggestion that his

the New York Times says such a work

as the army is concerned there never

Corveras squadron-the flower OF the
Spanish fect--had not taken refuge in
Santiago harbor and been destroyed in
its effort to escape, the whole Santiago
campaign, even If successful, would have
been but an incident in the war. In con-
clusion, the Times declares that all the
fighting done by the army during the
Spanish war amounted 10 no more than
many a skifmish in the civil war that is
hardly mentioned in history.

1t now appears that General Funston,
of Kansas, is not the only American
officer in the Philippines who can swim
rivers while under an enemys fire. The
members of the Tenth Pennsylvania Reg
iment claim that Lieutenant Richard
Coulter, of their organiza don, has per-
formed exactly the same feat, and what
Is more, that he was doing so at the
very time Funston was winning fame.
They Furthermore aver that the soldiers
of the Tenth, under Coulter, touched the
opposite shores before Funston did, and
that the latter merely reached the spot
in time TO take charge of the prisoners
Many of the Pennsylvania troops have
written letters on this subject, and posi-
bly, the Sampson-Schley controversy may
be repeated on a smaller scale. a Phila-
delphia paper, in commenting on this
incident and the claims of the respective
heroes friends, says it really doesn't
make much difference, anyhow as Penn
sylyania has claims on both the Philip
pine warriors. She considers Funston her
son, as he is said to be a descendant of
Daniel Boone, who was born in Berks
county, of that State. The hero worship
engendered by our recent war has given
q tremendous boom to the family-tree
business.

NEW YORK, Oct. Sat Manhattan field
to-day, In a game that was fiercely con-
tested throughout, the football eleven Of
Columbia defeated that Of Yale by the score
OF to o. In addition to this Columbia
carried the ball across Yale's line two more
times in the same half, neither of which was
allowed as a score, because of some tech
nicaity. The referee classed the latter play
as a touchback and gave Yale full kick
from her twenty-fve-yard line. This was of
no avail, however, as Weeks carried the
ball over again for a touchdown on the first
lineup after this kick. 1t was a beautiful
run OF about forty-five yards, in which
Weeks lodged several Of the Yale players,
including Captain Mcbride, and carried the
ball squarely between the goal posts. Will
son made a poor try at an easy goal, and the
score was: Columbia. 5; Yale, o. Thus
ended the game, with the ball in the middle
OF the field
The weather certainly favored the spec
fators much more than the players. And
that the men were able to last in such
rapid game on such a sultry day speaks
well for the physical condition of all. There
were probably five thousand people present.
Columbia's colors predominated. but the
dark blue OF Yale was sparsely distributed
throughout the grand stand. The lineup:

stronger on the wet field and came out vic

While the ball was wet and slippery, there
was not single tumble during the mass
plays, as the members of both elevens
grasped the pigskin with a do-or-die grip.
The Louisville team was the heavier and

won them applause.
In the second half the large crowd of fair
high school girls rooted with yeils that
would do credit to Texas ranches, but the
home boys knew that they were beaten and
fairly laid down. BY steady gains through
the line and short runs around the ends
the Kentuckians carried the ball in the
first half toward the Indianapolis goal at a
rapid rate. When within fifteen yards of
the Indianapolis goal the local team took
brace and secured the pigskin On downs.
Then the ball was carried up and down the
field. Coffin made one brilliant run of thir-
ty-hye yards, but indianapolis soon lost to
Louisville on downs. After that the visit
ors gradually worked toward the Indianap-

a touchdown. He also kicked goal. Indian
apolis forced the ball down the field after
the kickoff, and when within twenty yards

was the last scoring done in the first half.
Just as time was called Coffin made a beau

In the second half the ball was kept near

The entire Harvard eleven played with
snap and dash that carried the 600 people

Scarcely a Harvard man was injured during
the entire game. On the other hand. a
number of the Indians were sadly battered.
