 He went to New York and thence to Canada. Sullivan was to pay him S75 a month, but Lynch found this was not enough and the sum was raised to $150 month. He was also given S45OO to reim . purse him for his loss in jumping his bond. He spent most of his time in Canada.

WEST POINT READY
 FOR ANNAPOLIS
scALPERS ARE SELLING TICKETS TO THE GAME AT FANCY PRICES. 24,oo0 CARDS OF ADMISSION WERE ISSUED.

Philadelphia, November 29.-The foot ball warriors of the West Point and Annapolis academies arrived here today for their annual contest tomorrow. Near ly every train from the North, South and West that came in during the afternoon and evening brought scores of persons who. with the President of the United States will watch the cadets do battle on the gridiron.
 All the prominent hotels of the city are crowded tonight with officers and other officials of the army and navy. Among them are men who have figured promi- nently in the government service and they are just as enthusiastic over the event of tomorrow as is the sturdy "plebe'' of either West Point or Annapo- lis. President Roosevelt and members of his cabinet, accompanied by their wives will not arrive until shortly be- fore the time for the beginning of the game which Is schedule for o'clock A couple of inches of snow covers the scene tonight but the playing field is In splendid condition, the university author ities having taken the precaution of 
 the snow began falling. The 24,000 cards of admission were divided between the two academies and the university and distributed gratis by them. The Pennsyl- vania authorities alone were compelled to refuse 15,000 applications, so great was the demand Notwithstanding all the precautions taken, hundreds of the pasteboards found their way into the hands of scalpers who are selling them tonight at fancy prices.
 The navy team was the first to arrive today, the men, twenty-two in number. getting here at o'clock. They were in charge of Lieut.-Com. A. W. Grant, and were accompanied by a half-dozen coaches, all of them former Princeton players. Shortly after their arrival the team was taken to Franklin Field and in the snow were put through signal drill. The army squad numbered forty-fve. They arrived at 6 o'clock in charge of Capt Richmond P. Davis Tomorrow morning they will be taken to the Phila- delphia Country Clubs ground for final practice.
 The outcome of the game seems to be a foregone conclusion, if the words of the managers of the respective teams are a criterion. Cadet Porterfeld of the navy said
 We expect to lose, but hope to die fighting"
 Cadet Mitchell of the army was more cautious. saying:
 "The team is in good shape, and we in- tend to win if possible"
 Two special trains will arrive about noon tomorrow from West Point, bringing the army corps. numbering about 400 ca dets and several hundred fathers. The Annapolis cadets, 300 in all, with a number of followers will get in about the same time.

 Generals Diaz and Lugo have informed us in the most positive way that they had two thousand armed men at Chor- rera, which is fifteen miles off the rail- road and about the same distance from Panama.
 Arms and ammunition were sent them at different times and only the other day the newspapers reported the arrival at Chorrera of our last shipment of ann munition.

INTERNATIONAL BEER BUYING
Friendship of American and Japan
exc Soldiers in China

From the Boston Transcript. Translated
from an address of Ukichi Taguchi,
editor of the Toxic Economics.
We were always of the opinion that the
English people conducted things fairly
and Justly, but in Pekin they had public
auction sales of their loot at the English
embassy. We are very glad to know
that the Americans and Japanese are
the best behaved. Such Outrageousness
and loOtinS as were common to the 9th
ers were quite foreign to them. The
United States government gives $15 to
each soldier a month. so there is no need
for them to loot. Although the Japanese
are in pitiful condition financially they
never attempted to loot For this we
are proud of them.
Thus. having a common element Of
morality between them, the Americans
ana japanese are most cordial and init
mate with each other. When / went UP
the Pei-HO the soldier who served as my
personal sguard had a Japanese flag. We
met some American soldiers coming
down, and they exchanged salutations
with usual familiarity. 1t is the custom
for the American soldiers to treat the
japanese soldiers in the barrOOm. be-
cause if an American orders of bottle of
beer the barkeeper charges him one yen,
while he charges the Japanese only half
yen for the same bottle of beer Know
ing this fact, the former always would
accompany the latter to a barroom and
pay the same amount of money and get
two bottles of beer. utilizing the Jan
ancse, VIII lie the japanese pays nothing
but merely shows his face and gets a
bottle. SO they visit one another quite
often. A Japanese cavalryman (ny per
Sonal guard) has an intimate friend
among the Americans. One day he said
his American friend told him that he had
a sister in America who was not alto
gether ugly. if he (the Japanese) would
care to marry her
These facts show Us that there is an in
timacy between the Americans and jar
anese everywhere; they are not only in
innate. but they respect and admire one
another. Our soldiers especially admire
the American cavalry. They say that the
American cavalry is far superior to ours
the riders have a good idea of the art
of riding. and the horses are most excel
lent, During the battle at Peh-Tsang
when the American cavalry invaded the
enemy's line so bravely. our soldiers
could not help but admire them. Next TO
the Americans, the English soldiers are
most intimate with ours. but the H'ndo0
soldiers are looked down upon by the
latter.

The story of these practices is weird,
but interesting. 1t appears that many
years ago a woman committed suicide
by drowning herself in the Balgie river,
near Torridon. The inhabitants refused
TO consent to the body being buried in
the Annant churchyard on the plea that
if the body was buried in view of Loeb
Torridon. the fish would forsake the
waters. The remains were consequently
inferred in unconsecrated ground about
100 yards from the cemetery and there
they now lie.
