A MARLBOROUGH GAME.
Annapolis Was Defeated by the West
Point Team,

Point Team.
Philadelphia, Dec 2.-The West Point
football team defeated Annapolis on
Franklin field this afternoon in hard
fought game II to 5,
The soldiers won because thew PLAYED
the better football
They were masters of the situation
all through the game, with the eXcep-
ton of the last few moments of The
contests, when the mddies, by a
mighty effort managed to score by a
touchdown. 1t seemed as though every
army and naval officer stationed at
Washington was present. The presi-
dents cabinet was represented by Sec
rotary of War Root and Secretary of
the Navy Long. The two cabinet officers
received great ovation when they en-
tered the grounds. Secretary Root and
his party occupied a box on the army
side of the field, while Secretary Long
watched the game from the naval
stand, on the opposite side. Between
the halves Secretary Long was escorted
across the field and congra tulated Sec
rotary Root on the good work done by
his boys" This little incident started
q great hurrah, in which the yells of the
West Point and Annapolis cadets We're
mixed with the long, loud roar of the
Pennsylvania Students who were
massed in the west stand.
Over $1,000 persons saw the contest.
The army was well represented
Early in the game the soldiers got the
ball on downs on their 4S yard line. Line
plunges and two spins around the ends
brought the ball to the middies' 40 yard
mark. On the next play Full Back
Johnson was pushed over the line for
the first touch down. Bettison kicked
goal. Score: West Point, 6; Annapo-
lis, 0. There was no further scoring in
the first hale
Early in the second half a kick by
Wade carried the ball to the army's To-
yard line, but Wesson ran the ball back
l0 yards by pretty lodging. Another
exchange of punts and the ball was on
the army's 20-yard line. without los
ing the ball once the soldiers pushed
the sailors back from the army's 20
yard line to the middle of the field and
from there right over the Annapolis

FRosTBURG, MD, Oct. 20, 1899.
To the MINING JOURNAL.
Last Tuesday manager Schneider of the
Foot Ball Club, received a request from
manager Robb of the Y. NJ. c. A. team of
| Cumberland, to come down and play game
originally arranged with Bedford, as the
latter club had declined to play and as the
game was advertised they wished Frostburg
team to fill the date and avoid disappoint-
ment to the admirers of the sport.
Manager Schneider aCquesced on condition
that the Cumberland team manager would
play the same team that had played in the
two previous games.
When manager Schneider and his team got
on the grounds manager Robb, of the Cum
berland team, introduced two "ringers"-
Messrs Shewbridge and Logue.
Naturally, manager Schneider and his team
objected and refused to go on with the game.
Robb and Fredericks claimed they had no
other players, so the Frostburg team con-
cluded to come home and some of them left
the grounds.
Then Messrs. Robb the manager, and
Fredercks, the captain, found they had an
abundance Of players and consented to play
captain Philip Roman and Mr. Cecil instead
of the RINGERS" Shewbridge and Logue
The game began with considerable bad
feeling existing on both sides, and had pro-
crossed about five minutes with the chances
all in favor OF Frostburg
This was too much for gallant captain
Fredercks. All at once he made claim,
though not through the umpire that Brady,
of the Frostburg team had struck him in the
face, though there were no marks on his good
looking "physlog" to show where Brady
struck.
While the argument was on he sneaked
around Brady and when he caught the latter
off his guard, he hit him in the face. Then
Deneen got in his elegant work and showed
the result of active training by jumping on
Brady and doing his best to kill him.
In minute the fight became general.
The big heavy weight pngilist and all-round
athlete, Himmler, tackled Dick Thomas and
in about two seconds Richard the First had
the champion down until the cops re-
moved him from off the burly hitter elegant
figure.
The Ne~s Of this morning says:
The question. who struck the first blow
was one to which various answers were made
by various spectators.
This may be so III Cumberland but up here
players and spectators alike all agree that
Fredericks is guilty and is the man who
started the fight.
Manager Schneider and the Frostburg Foot
Ball team have no apologies to offer, no ex-
cuSes to make, and nothing to take back.
They have all season played an honest, clean
game, and have enjoyed unexpected success
and encouragement. So they feel that the
rowdyism exhibited in Cumberland last
Thursday was none of their making; that
manager Robb and captain Frederlcks are to
blame and should be held responsible.
The umpire gave the game to Frostburg,
as Cumberland left the field. HALF BACK

WE'RE IN CLOSE QUARTERS.
Tilt Between England and Russia
over the Hong Kong Loan.

Tilt Between England and Russia
Over the Hong Kong Loan.
Copyright, 1899, by the Associated Press )
London, March 1.-THE British lion and
the Russian bear came to uncomfortably
close quarters this week over the Chinese
imbroglio. The newspapers had already
begun to talk of a serious crisis, and a
grave outlook, but the diplomatic switch
men again succeeded in warding off a
collision on the subject of the northern
railroads, a conflict being averted by a
Russian backdown, according TO the jim
goes, and by a compromise, according to
more impartial observers.
The real explanation of the affair APP
pears to be that Russia made a protest
against the British railroad contract, part
ly as feeler and partly as a warning.
If the British premier had shown weak
ness Russia would have persisted; but,
in any case Russia, by her protest, elicit
ed a ministerial statement in the House
of Commons that the conditions of the
loan did not constitute foreign control
Thus Russia obtained a pledge that no
such Interpretation would be placed on the
contract in the event Of default, which is
q further substantial concession to the
Russian claims in Northern China. On
the other hand Lord Salisbury scored in
securing a withdrawal Of the Russian pro-
