FOOTBALL IN THE EAST.
Yale, Harvard, Princeton and Penn
sylvania Preparing For Games.

New York, Sept 13-The football
season begins at Yale on September 1e,
when thirty of the sons of Eli will re-
port for regular practice. Billy Bull
the old full back, will be there and will
work on the men in the back field.
Pennsylvania will start in earlier and
September u will see the Quakers hard
at it, the first game of the year being
with Franklin and Marshall on Septem-
Der 2S.
The new captains Of Harvard, Prince
ton and Pennsylvania are guards. Har-
wards captain is William "A. Burden,
who played guard last season and who
He entered Harvard from CrOton
school where he played guard and acted
as captain in the fall of 1894. He tried
to make the university team in his
freshman year, but it was not until last
season that he gained the place.
William H. Edwards, PrincetOn's new
captain, is a 6-foOter, weighing 227
year and in defensive work he has few
equals, being remarkably quick and
aggressive for a big man, breaking
through sharply and getting down the
field fast under the punts-

they find a trust is dependent for its ex-
orbitant profits largely on protective dut-
ties. it will be the duty Of Republican
congressman and senators to remove the
duties at once. We can not stop short OF
that The duties must be repealed when
it is shown that the trusts are benefltng
by them. This should be done with the
duty on steel rails and on tin plate. We
can make steel rails al a fair profit cheap
er than any where else in the world and
the present price is outrageous. The Re
publican party may win at the polls in
1900 because Of the remarkable achieve
ments of our army and navy in the last
two years, but legislation against trusts
should not be delayed on that account
1.-The turning of this country's affairs
over to such a man as Bryan would be
the worst thing that could happen. No
one could measure the consequence If
Bryan and his friends once get a chance
to try out their hair-brained experiments.
If don't set our house in order the
people will take control of the nation
away from the Republicans.

men and thereby maintain the lively
style for which old Penn has been
noted during the last few years.
N. l. Mcbride, who will pilot the
Yale team this year, is a full back, hav-
ing played on the eleven for two years.
He is but 20 years of age and weighs
when in condition 175 pounds. He is a
strong punter and drop kicker, besides
possessing the faculty of running hard
and low. He is about equally good at
hitting the line or circling the ends and
can always be counted upon as a sure
tackler. Mcbride seems certain to
make a good leader. That is what Yale
needs, so as to help retrieve the Iaurels
lost last year.

America Has DffhcuIt Task In the

patch from London says General Law
toms withdrawal from the Philippine towns
and territory lately occupied by his troops
and his reported statement that 1t would
take fully 100000 troops to establish per-
n,apont order in the islands, have aroused
much interest in England, where every
move in the attempt Of the United states
10 subiugate the Filipinos IS watched most
closely.
The London newspapers comment freely
upon the effect in the United States OK
General Lawtou's declaration and the pre-
dicament OF the president in regard 10 the
volunteers. The general tenor OF the re-
marks is that the United States must 60

The Court Expects TO Make Its Re-
port in u Few Days.
Washington, April 19,--The Wade court
of inquiry was engaged steadily today in
going through the testimony which had
accumulated as the result of the three
months Investigation and in the prepare
ton OF the report of its findings The re-
port will be comparatively brief, but the
work of collating the testimony Is a task
of no small magnitude and Will require
several days time. There is a unanimous
determination on the part Of members OF
the court to dispose of the subject with
the greatest possible dispatch and the
statement was made today that II was pos
siblo a finding might be reached before
the close of the week.
Colonel Davis, recorder of the court, said
today that more witnesses might be called
and their examination would delay the
final conclusion. but he hoped this would
not be deferred to any great extent.
There are some reports still to be read
but these will be taken up when thew will
not consume much of the courts time

Washington. April 19.-Probably the
