College Athletic Row.

Ann Arbor, Nov. 2s.-Prof. Patten
Gill. chairman of the board of the state
university, referring to athletic rela-
tions of the University of Michigan and
the University of Chicago, about which
there has been considerable gossip of
late, said:
No direct overtures have been made
to the University of Michigan in regard
to a settlement of the athletic contro-
versy with the University of Chicago,
nor so far as know haveany been made
either to the University of Illinois or
the University of Wisconsin. Arrange

likely the present state of affairs will

NEW CURRENCY BILL.
Congressional Committee said Z,
Have Completed the Draft.

Have Completed the Draft.
Washington, Nov. 2S-The general
currency bill prepared by the republi-
can caucus committee appointment by
the last congress has received its final
revision at the hands of the members
and was given to the press this after
noon for publication, after a copy had
been mailed to each republican repre-
sentative in congress. The measure
represents the unanimous conclusions of
the committee, and will be called up for
consideration at the caucus of the re-
publican members of the house which is
to be held, probably next Saturday Ac-
companying the bill is report, setting
forth at length, the reasons and necessi-
ty which in the committees opinion ex-
ist for the proposed legislation. The
Evening Star prints the following as
some Of the chief features of the bill,
which in the main are probably cor
rect:
Amendment to the coinage laws,
making 2sss grains of gold. 900 parts
fine, the standard coin measure
Amendment to the greenback re-
issue act of 1878 providing that those
treasury notes shall be redeemed with
SOiU anu WneH SO redeemed Snall not
be reissued except in exchange for gold.
This provision will prevent the opera
ton of the endless chain which hitherto
has been the means to raid the gold re-
serve.
"An amendment to the specie re-
sumption act and directing the main
tenance of the gold reserve at not less
than 800. 100000, the maintenance of the
reserve at that figure now being entire
" discretionary to the secretary of the
treasury.
AN amendment to the national bank
act authorizing banks to be organized
with capital stock of $4,000. AT pres
ent the minimum is s50,sOO. Another
amendment to the same act authorizes
the banks to issue notes to the par
value Of the bonds they have on deposit
to secure circulation. AT present the
limit is 80 per cent. A, third amendment
to this act reduces the taxation on bank
circulation to one-tenth of one per cent
This tax is to pay the expense of en-
craving and printing the notes. The
present rate more than meets this ex-
pense."

St. Petersburg. Nov. 2s.-The Russian

CHINESE MINISTER DISTURBED.
Makes Inquiries Regarding the Plan
to Utilize His Country.

Washington, Nov. 2s.-The Chinese
minister was visitor at the state de-
partment yesterday and it is surmised
that his call upon Secretary Hay was
attributable to the recent European
cablegrams which have disturbed him
by their free expression of purpose to
regulate the affairs of his country on
the part of Europe and America. The
answers of the European governments
to our requests touching the "ope,

MAKING STUBBORN FIGHT.
Beers Making Methuen's Progress
Exceedingly Difficult.


London. Nov. 2s.-If the unconfirmed
report of the capture by Gen. Methuen
of Honey Nest Kloof. eleven miles
north of Gras Pan, is true, the Beers
are contesting the British progress
toward Kimberley inch by inch. 1t is
said that along with the village Lord
Methuen captured 100000 rounds OF
ammunition.
Despite the Importance of the success
at Belmont, the Beers have displayed
unexpected powers of resistance The
battle of Gras Pan followed hard after
the engagement at Belmont, and vic
tory was dearly bought-so dearly
bought, indeed, that Lord Methuen
thought his men must have a days rest
before pushing on. This decision, how
ever. he seems to have reconsidered.
Especially disconcerting to the public
here is the news of the loss of so many
officers of the naval brigade. The ques-
ton is beginning to be asked, Is it a
wise policy to use up the personnel of
the navy in the first line of defense?
1t is pointed out that the Royal Garri-
son Artillery, magnificent body of 20.-
900 trained men, is untouched for the
purposes of this campaign. Certainly
5000 or 1000 could readily be spared
from the Mediterranean garrisons,
which are practically already on war
footing. This arm could be used not
only in the field, but also for garrison
ing gun positions and advance posts, SO
setting free the infantry for mobile
service.
Dissatisfaction is expressed in other
quarters. also. that the marines are not
used for a similar purpose. This from
many points of view is the finest force
in the service. All are long-service men,
but the war Office Systematically neg
lects this branch

casualties among the troops engaged
in what hitherto has been known as the
battle OF Gras Pan, but which is now
officially designated as the battle of
Enslin. 1t proves that British success
was heavily bought. The losses an
nounced today, added to the naval
brigade casualties previously noted,
make grand total of 1913. The York
shires, apparently, bore with the naval
brigade the brunt of the fighting, as
there were, in addition to three officers,
forty-eight of the rank and file killed,
wounded and missing.

The Rural Trolley Car.

The conductor and the motorman are
also of types different from their city
brethren. They come from the neigh
boring countryside, and they call each
other by their front names-Obed and
Ezekiel, or other prenomina Of that
sort.
An old lady who had all her life been
the autocrat of the village in the Old
Colony, and who set out to take her
first trip on the trolley car which pass
ed her door, found, after she had gone
something like a half mile ON the way,
that she had forgotten her gloves. She
at once ordered the conductor to turn
back Accustomed, like all his fellow
villagers, to yield unquestioning obedi-
ence to commands from that quarter,
he held brief conference with the mo-
torman. The car then reversed its
course, halted before the old iady's gate
and waited until she waddled into the
house and up stairs to get her gloves
out of the bureau drawer, and then
came back again, the other passengers,
with the national docility of the Amer
lean people, submitting accomplishing
ly to the delay. Baxter IN
