RIGHT TO A SEAT.

A novel case has Just been decided by

suit against the New York Central rail-
road for being deprived Of his seat in a

The court decided that when a passen-

unusual condition he IS legally entitled

BRITAIN WILL STAY OUT
ENGLISH SPORTS DECLINE TO JOIN
THE INTERNATIONAL ATH-
LETIC UNION
sPALDING BACK FROM PARIS
Enthused Over the Formation of the
Union Whose Success Depends
Practically Upon the
United States.

NEW YORK, Nov. "a. G. Spalling,
the American director OF sports at the
Paris exposition, has returned TO this
country with a budget OF news.
Perhaps the most interesting item is
that before leaving France he was in
formed by a prominent official that word
had been received to the effect that Eng
land would not join the movement for
an international athletic union, which has
re ceived general support from nearly eV-
cry OtEer athletically inclined country
Ct the Old World. Though this is re-
yretted by the Parisians they do not doubt
that the new union will be a success il
they can get the cooperation Of America,
which is regarded by continental sports
men as entitled to take the lead in all
athletic matters by virtue of tie showing
made at the international games. Mr.
Spalding said:
Il am heartily in favor of the formation
of the union which has been proposed.
The French people are more than anxious
10 have the Amateur Athletic union of the
United States and the intercollegiate as
ISOLATION join it and take some interest,"
in the movement, and it certainly speaks
we'll for the good of sport throughout the
civilized world.
In regard to the criticisms of the
French people for mismanagement Of the
games, 1 think it is only fair to state
that it was not due to any desire to in
jure our men, but to inexperience in sucn
matters. In their desire to treat all
countries equally they may have discrim-
mated against America, as it was certain
ly very CALLING to athletes of other ma
tons to see the Americans win first, sec
ond and third places in nearly all scratch
events, and when the handicaps came
along they fixed the handicaps so that
some other country would win.
However. these little experiences they
have had, and l 60 not think they will
happen again. I do not think Our boys
should be too hard on them.
It Travelled extensively through Eu-
rope, and 1 believe that the countries
that are today backward in track and
field sports, rowing, golf and swimming
will in the course of a few years show
rapid strides in such sports, and I think
nothing win tend to increase the inter-
est more than competitions between this
country and those of Europs'

ALBANY PAPER BURNS UP
FIRE DESTROYS A PIONEER SHEET
AND THREATENS OTHERS.

ALBANY, Nov. s6-Firee started at $50
tonight in the candy factory of Kreischer
& company, and before the f1remen could
get water on the blaze the immense
building, running through a block, was a
mass of flames. Next door on Beaver
street was the Press nickerbocker Ex-
press, the Oldest established paper in this
section of the state.
So rapidly did the flames spread that
the employees in the building preparing to
set up the election returns for the morn
ing paper, had to run for their lives. Not
anything of value was saved. By the
concentrated efforts of the entire fire de-
partment, the flames were confined to the
two big buildings. The Office of the
Argus is in the same block with the
Times-Union, another newspaper across
the street, and it was at first thought
that both would suffer
The ess-Knickerbocker- Express at
once started to- find means to issue its
paper and every Albany paper lent as
sistance. The loss to the Press-Knicker-
booker Express is 100000; insured for
100000 The other losses will average
$1S, 600, with insurance of about $685. OO
