ON MkRsHALL FIELD.
Large Crowd Attracted by the Brown
Chicago Contest.

Ch1caRO Contest.
CHICAGO, November 3O.-The foot ball
team Of Brown University, the third to
seek foot ball honors In the west this year,
and the University !, of Chicago eleven
played on Marshall Field this afternoon.
The game was expected to be one of the
most spectacular of the year, as both teams
were as fit as they could possibly be, and
in their last signal , practice yesterday
showed dash and Spirit in getting into
the plays that only perfectly trained teams
show late in the season. The backs of
both elevens were undoubtedly fast as
any In the country and when the game
was called at $50 pm. the spectators set
tied down with the expectation of seeing
plenty of open fieid work and quick dodg-
ing runs behind quickly formed interfer-
ence, and less of monotonous line bucking.
The size of the Brown players greatly i'm
pressed the thousands of spectators, and
the work of little Richardson In particular
who came here heratded as one of the best
kickers and runners in the country, was
watched with great interest.
Up to yesterday Chicago expected to win
rather easily in spite of the splendid record
OF the visiting team. But last night 1t was
oehniteiy announced that the injured knee
OF Captain Kennedy would prevent him from
entering the game, and this fact shook the
ly, as the splendid defensive work behind
the line was sadly missed on other occa-
sions.
Few R0oters for Brown.
typical Thanksgiving crowd saw the
game. The immense grand stands on the
east and west sides of the field, and the
bleachers at the ends were packed with
spectators, most of whom wore the maroon
colors of Chicago. Only here and there
was seen a streamer of Brown, but what
the adherents of the visitors lacked in
number they made up in enthusiasm, and
every good play Of their champions was
greeted with the college YELL a new one to
western gridiron.

Its fleet on the Peace of the World.
According to Nr. Chamberlnin.


LONDON. November 5o-Mr. Chamber
tain in his speech above referred to. said
that an understanding between the leu
tonic and Anglo-Saxon races might do
more than any combination OF armies to
preserve the peace Of the world. The
world he asserted. was not governed en-
,ireIy by interest. Sentiment was one Of
rhe greatest factors
Referring to the attacks of the foreign
papers. Mr. Chamberlain said these news
papers had not even spared the almost
sacred person of the queen" This. con-
riuued the speaker. provoked natural indig-
nation which may have serious conse-
quences If our neighbors do not mend their
ways"
An outburst Of cheering greeted this
threat of the colonial secretary.
1t was q matter for congratulatiOn, Mr..
Chamberlain asserted, that the worst OF
these 'dIsgraceful attacks did not appear
in the German papers.
A new triple alliance. between the TeU-
tonic race and the two great branches of
the Angl0-Sdxons. would. said the colonial
secretary, be a potent influence in the
future of the world
The speaker explained that he used the
word alliance" but 1t mattered little
whether they had an alliance committed to
paper or an understanding which existed
in the minds Of the statesmen of the re-
Spective countries.
y determination In every case to look for
favorable motives upon the part Of those
with whom friendship was desired would
be an enormous advantage to both the ma
lions concerned and others.

NEW Small LPOX CASES
Two Discovered in Past Twenty
Four Hours.
PRECAUTIONARY MEASURES TAKEN
Both Patients Conveyed at Once
to Hospital.
SITUATION BEING WATCHED

During the past twenty-four hours two
new cases of smallpox have been discov-
cred in the District by the health depart
ment officials. Last evening Fred. Young.
colored, about thirty years of age, was
found suffering from the disease at No. i
Shepherds alley, between L and NJ 9th
and 10th streets northwest, and early this
morning Julia Briscoe. colored, thlrtyeigh t
years of age, was found at OF Golden
street, between D and e, 9th and 10th
streets southwest, afflicted with the dis
ease. Both V ere promptly hurried to the
smallpox hospital, increasing the number
of patients there to five, and the infected
houses were thoroughly disinfected and
quarantined.
1t is stated by the health department au-
thorities that they have not ascertained the
history Of the two new cases, and are,
therefore, unable as yet to determine how
or where the disease was contracted
1t appears, however. that Young has
been sick about three weeks. and the case
was reported to the health officer last even
ing by a policeman, who had learned of it
from a negro woman and girl. Some thir-
teen or fourteen people reside in the in
fected house in Shepherds alley. Eight Of
them have been quarantned in the house,
but two or three have not yet been appre-
hended. The alley is largely populated by
colored people, among whom the afflicted
man is said to have recently wandered.
On Golden Street.
The case on Golden street was discovered
by a policeman who was looking for man.
1t IS said the officer found the afflicted
woman with a colored man. who was. OF
course, greatly alarmed when he learned
of the nature Of her illness. Five persons
reside in the Golden street house. and all
of them are detained therein. They and
those residing in the Shepherds alley house
will probably be taken to the smallpox de-
tention camp and kept there until the
period of infection. sixteen days, has
passed.
Situation Serious.
The appearance of the disease in the To-
calties mentioned makes the situation a
very serious one, in the opinion Of the
health department authorities, although
they express the belief that they can pre-
vent any general spread of it, The history
of the two new cases is being closely in
vestgated today by the health officer, and
all persons found to have come in contact
with the two will be carefully quarar tined
until all danger has passed. and all other
precautionary and necessary measures Will
be taken.
