Big Crowd Prekent.

One of the largest crowds that ever
gathered at a foot ball game in Chicago
witnessed the struggle. The gates were
opened fully hour before the game was
called, and from that time until after the
whistle sounded a stream of ribbon DO
decked foot ball partisans passed through
the gates. Excursion trains were run from
Madison, Marinette and Milwaukee,. Wis.
and Ann Arbor and Menominee, Mich, and
probab four thousand out-of-town ad-
rnirers of the two teams lent their voices to
the cheering, which was incessant from be-
ginning to the end of the game.
The teams lined up as follows:

SOME EVIDENCE ACCUMULATED
kilograms Counseling the Volunteers

Discussed by the Cabinet.

Washington. April 24.-The cabinet
today discussed traitors and the laws Of
treason in relation to the Philippines.
The president preferred policy OF
liberality and tolerance until recently,
when there came into the possess ion Of
the administration evidence incrim mat
ing United States citizens furthering
the sedition.
Certain individuals, it is known to
the government, have been trying not
only to aid Aguinaldo, but weaken the
army by spreading discomfort among
the volunteers. Telegraph messages
from anti-expansionists, Jealous to
gain political advantage, have been in
tercepted, encouraging volunteer Off
GERS and men to demand their return
from the Philippines on the ground
that peace has been declared. The
messages even counseled the volunteers
to go to the length of refusing further
to serve in the Philippines.
What the president will do is not yet
decided. 1t will not he surprising If h

is a serious law against treason which
will be enforced if any further attempt
is made to tamper with the men at the

Neither Miss Brunot nor the valise

THE MODUS HELD UP.
Ottawa Defeats the Alaska Boundary
settlement.


Washington, April 2i.-An unex
pected delay has occurred in the npgo-
tiatiOns towards an Alaska boundary
modus vivendi. which makes the fu-
tute OF the modus quite problematcal.
Extended conferences were held on the
subject today, the result being far
from encouraging. The principal diff
Guilty arises from dealing with Ottawa
as well as London, this dual negotia-
tion causing great delay and complica-
ton.
AT the outset the United States pro-
posed a modus with temporary line
along certain peaks. The British am
bassador forwarded this to London ana
Ottawa. The Canadian officials have
now proposed changing the line, and
after considerable delay the authorities
in London approves the changes pro-
posed by Canada.
1t is not stated what the respective
lines are. but they are sufficiently apart
to make it quite unlikely that any i'm
mediate agreement can be reached,
even of temporary nature, as to the
boundary.

ON A TECHNlCAlITY.
The Charges of General Miles viii Not
lie Sustained.

Washington, April 24.-The forecast
of the beet inquiry report indicates
that the charges of General Miles will
not be sustained. although there is
such mass of testimony to show that
bad beef was distributed to the army.
The reason for this will he technical.
Miles showed nothing in his charge
against canned beef, but used the term
'embalmed beef" On this techni-
cality it may be shown that the charges
were not sustained.
The people will not be convinced
that the board was not packed in the
interest of the war department. 1t is
also possible that there will be de-
mand for an investigation by congress
from those who believe that neither
the war committee nor the beef board
was unbiased The people are not
ready TO accept the reason of the two
boards, who seem to sustain Algersm
in the department.
