PRESIDENT SEES SOLDIERS WIN

Philadelphia, Pa, (Special)'-
Probably the most distinguished gather
ing that ever witnessed football con-
test in this country, and admittedly the
greatest crowd that ever entered the
gates of Franklin Field, saw West
Point defeat Annapolis Saturday after
noon by the score of II to S. From the
moment that President Roosevelt and
his party entered the great amphithea-
ter until half an hour after the time
keeper had blown his whistle, announc-
inc the cessation of hostilities, there was
an almost continuous uproar, such as
has probably never taken place on any
football field in the country.
Even the President and several mem
bers of his Cabinet, worked up to neryv'
Gus pitch by the excitement, lett then
seats in the private box which had beer
set apart for their occupation and tool
positions on the side line benches,whicf
are usually used for substitute player!
and coaches. There was not seat un
occupied, and hundreds stood arount
the field through the entire game.

and IS injured is the total casualties re-
ported for the football season OF 1901
as compiled from all dispatches. Fathers
and mothers may be appalled, by long
list of vistims, but coaches and unlver-
sitv physicians view it with equanmity,
although with regret, and say that IN
most cases the sufferers themselves were
to blame.
Tn one way this argument is borne
out. A large percentage of the list comes
from the forepart of the season. 1t is
contended from this that the victims
were unframed. 1t is pointed out that
if takes weeks of hard and persistent
training TO prepare any player tor a
bruising scrimmage, and broken bones
and strained joints, if no worse, are
more likely than otherwise to result
from disregard of this precaution.

TRANSPORT WRIGHT LOSE
United States Vessel Goes Down In Phhip'
pine Waters.

Manila, (By Cable).-The United
States transport Wright has been
wrecked in the Straits of Darman. She
will probably turn out to be total loss.
The Wright struck on an unchartered
rock at the entrance of San Jacinto and
sank in fifteen feet of water. To raise
her will require wrecking machinery,
which is not available here.
The United States transport Wright,
formerly the Aid, was originally fruit
er, and was presented to the government
by some patriotic women of Boston,
when the Spanish war broke out, to be
used as hospital ship Later she was
fitted out a dispatch boat, and was
sent to Cuba to be used by Gen. Wood
More recently she was sent to the Philip
pines as a dispatch-boat and store ship
She had a refrigerating plant and re-
friQerated store room, which made mel
of great value in the service.
The Wright was first called the Ba,
State. That was before she was trans
formed into hospital ship.

DECIDED NOT TO KILL THEM
The Latest Reports Concerning Miss Stone
and Her Companion.

Sofa, (By Cable).-According to a
letter dated Dubnitza, November 20,
Miss Stone and Nine. Tsilka are still
alive. The letter in question further
saws that at a recent meeting of the
committee held in Dubnltza 1t was deh-
ntely decided not to kill the prisoners
upon any pretext whatever. Neverthe-
less, the committee insisted upon the
payment of the full amount OF the ran
som.
A naive suggestion is current in polit-
ical circles here to the effect that the
United States should force Turkey to
pay the balance of the ransom, and as
soon as the prisoners are in safety force
Bulgaria to punish those persons guilty
of their abduction.
