LAST. GAME IS LOST.
Rock Island High School Eleven
Defeated on Davenport
Gridiron.
PUTS UP A PLUOKY DEFENSE
Score of 6 to O-More Anent the
Western Champion
ship.

Rock Island High school played the
last scheduled football game of the
season Saturday with Davenport
High school at Foresters' Shooting
park across the river. 1t was windy
and showing furiously during the en-
tire game and the field was nasty and
slippery. The ball soon became very
hard to hold, and it was through 3
tumble that Rock Island lost the
game, Capt. Grant, of Davenport,
getting it for an S5-yard run and
touchdown in the second half.
The game was played in 80 and 80
minute halves. In the first neither
side scored, though the advantage
was with Rock Island, and they would
have probably scored had it not been
for a phenomenal 85-yard punt by
Capt. Grant, which went over Rock
Islands goal line.
In the second half Rock Island
kicked off and held for downs. Then
came the fun bic and run that de.
cided the game. The latter part was
devoted to an exchange of punts that
Melted neither side a point, and the
score when time was called was to
o in Davenport's favor.
Tho linpun.

Washington, Jan ia speech,
sensational in interest and interna-
tional in its Importance, was delivered
in the senate by Mr. Hale rep, Me-.
The occasion was the simple question
whether the resolution introduced by
Mr.. Allen pop, Neb.) calling for in
formation as to the recognition by this
country of diplomatic representations
of the Transyaal republic should be
directed to the president or to the sec
rotary of state. Mr.. Hale made the
question the text of an impassioned
speech in which he declared that nine
tenths of the American people SYM
pathized with the beers. He declared
that the war which Great Britain is
waging is the most fell blow at human
liberty which has been struck in the
century" He denies that the Ameri-
can people were lin sympathy with
Great Britain in the south African
war to stamp out the liberty of the
people" and when Mr.. Balfour, in the
house of commons, made such a state
ment he should be met with some dis
claimer from this side of the Atlantic.
He declared the English people them
selves were not in favor of the war
which has been brought on by
sharp cabinet minister engaged with
gold spectators" The resolution,
which previous to Hale's speech had
caused a sharp colloquy between
Messrs. Allen and Spooner rep, Wis.,
passed finally as amended.
The pension appropriation bill car
rying sl45, 245,250 was passed by the
house 1t was made the vehicle
of an attack upon the commits
sioner of pensions by Mr.. Curtis (rep,

Lentz and Norton (Ohio) Robinson
(nd.) and other northern democrats.
Ali inveighed against the lack of lib

was ably defended by score

latter's disclosures a rider was put up
on the bill by unanimous consent en-
powering the commissioner in his dis
erection to withhold fees of attorneys in

MAJOR GENERAL ARTHUR MACARTHUR.
and men petitioned the governor of the
state TO appoint biz adjutant of the regi-
ment. The request was granted, and the
boy of Is went to the war as a regimental
adjutant with the rank of first lieutenant.
The Twenty fourth Wisconsin was in
the thickest of Sheridan's fight at Stone
river, and on that occasion it was com
manded by the major of the regiment, as
sisted by Adjutant Macarthur. The
Twenty-fourh lost half its men, but
Macarthur came through without a
scratch, and his daring work made him
the hero of the regiment from that time
forward.
He next distinguished himself at the
battle of Missionary Ridge. Carried for
ward by an impulse similar to that seen
at the storming of San Juan hill, Mac
Arthur's regiment swarmed up heights
where the Confederate guns were most
active. The men had almost reached the
crest when there came moment of indie
cision and confusion. No one knew just
which way to go. Then the color bearer
was shot
In telling the story a Milwaukee veter-
an recently said: when our flag went
down, there was nothing whatever to
rally our line upon, and then the boy ad-
Jutant made the second hit Of his career
In the Twenty He seized the
staff and waved the flag for a moment as
a signal to rally on the center, then dart
ed forward to the very crest and into a
battery, the leader of the whole line, the
foremost of 60 battle flags then moving
up the slope" For this he was given a
medal of homer.

commanded the decimated regiment at
the battle of Kenesaw Mountain and
throughout the remainder Of the year
1864, until he won new laurels and re-
ceived a serious wound at the battle of
Franklin. As lieutenant colonel he led
the regiment during the remainder of its
career and was mustered out with 1t at
the end of the war, in 1865
Macarthur entered the regular army as
a first lieutenant and was promoted al
most Immediately to be the youngest
captain in the service. For nearly 20
years Captain Macarthur served with
various regiments in the west and south
west, participating In several Indian cam
paigns.
In 1889 Macarthur became a major
and assistant adjutant general. He re-
manned in the adjutant generals once
until the outbreak OF the Spanish war,
having been promoted lieutenant colonel
IN the meantime. He was then appoint
ed a brigadier general of volunteers and
was sent to Manila with the first detach,
ment of troops dispatched to the Philip
pines.
There with his brigade he captured al
single blow the town and bridges OF
Malate, which was the most important
step lending up to the surrender Of Ma
Mia. Since that time his name has been
mentioned constantly In the dispatche:
from Manila, and his work in carrying
the campaign against General Luna to q
successful conclusion made him a major
general Of the line, the youngest in the
army.
Vermont phÅ“nix. [volume] (Brattleboro, Vt.) 1834-1955, 1900-06-15

he was advanced to the position OF as
sistant secretary, and during the past
wear he has performed the duties of sec
rotary much of the time owing TO the ILL
ness and absence of Mr. John Addison
Porter, the retiring secretary.
1t is said that Mr.. Cortelyou makes
most admirable buffer between the
president and the beseging throng. He
is counted next to that paragon of secre-
taries, Colonel Dan Lamont He is an
indefatigable worker He fairly eXndes
courtesy. The mysteries of tact are to
him as the page OF an open book. He can
sidetrack a persistent office seeker with
the most plausible and ingenious hctions.
Even the crank who is turned over to
the White House detectives is almost
made to feel that a special favor has been
conferred on him.
Mr.. Cortelyou was born in New York
city on July 26. 1862. His grandfather,
Peter Crolius Cortelyou, ST., 40 years a
member of the typefounding firm OF
George Bruce & Co, and his father, Pc
ter G. Cortelyou, Jr., were prominent fig
ures in New York business and social cir
cles a generation ago.
Mr.. Cortelyou in 1884 was appointed
confidential stenographer in the United
States appraisers office at New York,
but resigned on the change OF admins
tration in March, 1885 In October, 1889
he was appointed private secretary to the
postoffice inspector in charge at New
York and two years later became private
secretary to Fourth Assistant Postmaster
General Rathbone. He resigned in
March, 1892, but was reappointed by AS.
sistant Postmaster General MAXWELL In
November, 1895, he was appointed ste
nographer to the president and n few
months later executive clerk to Mr. Nc
Kinley He was made assistant secre
tary TO the president in 1898.

By the return from the Philippines of
Major General Otis there Is left in com
mand Major General Arthur Macarthur.
1t is no secret that the officials at Wash
ington pin their faith to General Mac
Arthur. He is expected to end the war,
to pacfy the Filipinos and to establish
peace throughout the archipelago. All
this he is expected to do within a rev
months after assuming supreme control.
I'm TO the time Of General Lawton's
death Macarthur was third in rank, so
while he and Lawton had the chief dlrec-
lion of the field operations he was not
free to adopt his own plan OF campaign
But now as governor general OF the IS
lands and commander of all the forces lie
has a free hand and may use his own
methods to bring the Filipinos to terms.
1t is now about 40 years that General
Macarthur has been fighting the battles
of Uncle Sam at home and abroad. yet he
is not an old man. The secret of this Is
that he began when he was Is.
Like other great generals, Macarthur
Is not a West Point man. He learned
tactics and strategy on the battlefield,
and he studied evolutions on parade
grounds torn by shot and shell. At an
age when the average cadet is taking the
entrance examinations he was leading a
regiment into battles. His boyhood was
spent in Milwaukee, where his father was
a judge. and it was there that the out
break Of the civil war fred his heart with
military ambition.
BY close attention to "Hardee's Tao
tics" then the manual Of the United
States army, young Macarthur mastered
the intricacies of infantry drill, and on
the organization of the Twenty-fourth
Wisconsin regiment, which was known in
the Union army as the milwaukee" reg
iment, he became one of its drill masters,
although holding no official rank. So well
equipped did he prove himself for this
work that ON the departure Of the regi-
ment for the front many Of its officers
