Rock Island, Nov. 90 The result Of
today's football game between s. U. %.
and Northwestern University In q n1eas-
ure determines the question OF suprem-
acy among western football teams
Taking into account the scorer and the
character Of the playing IN the previous
games OF the season, Iowa people incline
to the belief that their university team
has made a showing that places It with
out peer in the west. Friends Of 1in-
nesota and Wisconsin, on the contrary,
urge that Iowa can scarcely claim Su-
premacy without granting their teams
an opportunity to demonstrate their
offensive and defensive ability against
the Hawkeye boys. Asto whether Wis
consin is stronger than Minnesota
friends of the badgers hold that their
score of 80 to 5 against Chicago. with
whom Minnesota played tie game
early in the season, places them notch
above Minnesota this, despite the
fact that they were defeated by Minne-
| sofa 6-5, or the credit Of one goal kicked
from touchdown, Minnesotans bare
their claim to a place beside lows on
their defeat Of Wisconsin, .gnor-s
ing the fact that Iowa defeat
ed Chicago decisively. after the
latter had tied the gophera It Is inter-
esting to note that while friends Of both
Minnesota and Wisconsin estimate their.
teams as equal to Iowa, no one has yet

contest between Minnesota and Wiscon-s

FOR AN EDUCATED BAR.

The annual address of President
Chas. F. Warren before the State Bar
Association was a timely and thought
full utterance, worthy of most careful
consideration by the legal pro-
fession in North Carolina. His sub
iect was "The Standard of Admission
and Legal Ethics" He pointed out that
both the ministry and the medical
profession were stricter in their re-
ollirements for admission than the
Law, and making a strong plea for an
educated Bar in North Carolina, he
said:
"A fair general education preced-
ing the study of law; two years
law course, including in its scope
both theory and practice as well as le-
gal ethics; greater proficiency and
niger legal attainments for admission
to the bar; additional, or other, evil
dence of good moral character. are
imperatively demanded in this State.
We should not be content to stand
still or retrograde while the standard
is being steadily advanced in other
States and in other professions. [
earnestly recommend that a memorial
from this association shall be pre-
scented to the Supreme court, at its
next session, upon these subjects
which so nearly concern us and our
profession"

THE SITUATION IN CHINA.

Our news columns this morning in
are of even greater gravity than had
been feared. The Boxer movement
is undoubtedly spreading South, and
there is grave danger that the inn
mense military forces of the whole
empire will be drawn into it.
The dispatches from the Chinese cap
ital have often been puzzlingly brief
and not infrequently contradictory,
but through the fog which seems to
envelop the entire situation there
comes this morning the following i'm
portant items of news:
The report of the destruction of the
German legation at Pekin and the
murder of Baron Ketteler, the Min
lister, is officially confirmed. 1t is
also announced that the condition OF
the whites at Pekin is desperate and
aid is imperatively needed. An Of
fetal despatch from Admiral Kemptf,
to the Secretary of the Navy, an
nounces that the American, Italian
and Dutch legations at Pekin have
been burned: and that there are now
10000 Chinese soldiers outside the
city and 10000 inside it.
At Taku lieutenant and six Ital-
ian soldiers have been killed, while
at Tien Tsin the French consulate has
been fired upon and two French sail
ors killed.
Serious trouble is also impending
in Shan Tung.
The latest news announces that En-
peror William will insist upon full
satisfaction for the murder of Baron
Ketteler, and to this end he has or
dered five battleships and 10000 sol
diers to China. This is, in effect, a
declaration of war.
France is sending troops to China
with all possible despatch and her
Minister of Foreign Affairs announces
that within month she will have q
force in China proportionate to her
position in that country. In fact, it
is now clear that the various allied
powers, though evidently they have
been caught in position of unreadi-
ness, are preparing for serious con-
fict in the CELESTIAL Empire. The
task may be long and bloody one,
but they will ultimately dictate the
terms of peace.
Though it has been the policy of
this government, since its birth, to
avoid entangling alliances with for
eign powers, the reports from Wash
ington indicate clearly that it is the
intention of the Administration to
take part in this war. Though as yet
this country has, not officially recog-
nized a state of war as existing, the
government is making war prepare
tons upon large scale, and it is
known that q General has already
been selected by the President to com
mand an army in China; that at least
four regiments, one of them the famous
Sixth Cavalry, have already been or
ordered there, and that other troops are
likely to be ordered there shortly un-
less the situation improves.
1t is an ''open door, through which
Mckinley, with his imperialistic ten
denotes, cannot resist the temptation
to 90. Once in, he will of course re-
main to take part in the divide out"
This will necessarily mean Chinese
colony and large slice of Chinese
territory to recoup this country for
the losses and expenses of the cam
paign in China.
