men continually violated the rules which prohibit coaching during the game. Twice I took MT Sanford off the field and sat him down on the side line seats where he belonged. I was obliged to do the same to Smythe. Knapp's case was so aggravated that after I called Umpire Minds's atten- tion to the violation of the rules, MT Minds first took Knapp off the field then off the side lines. and finally up into the seats with the spectators, where he was forced to remain till the game closed"
 Manager Francis last night received a letter from Manager Dana of Colum- bia. asking for an official statement from the Yale football association rel atiye to Yale'S complaint over the CO- lu1nbia tactics. Rumors were current here last night that Manager Dana was on his way here to call on the Yale managers. He probably has been sidetracked, for he did not show up last night.
 New Haven, Oct 29.-Head Coach Stillman yesterday began to get the dlG GlGN Gu IGduy ACL lhC " CSI | Oliil game next Saturday by introducing nearly forty men to the plays which the varsity and college teams have been using. Vanderpoel, fullback, and Mason, halfback, made the best impression. Hart also was given a chance. He will be first. substitute halfback if Wilhelmi keeps up the pace he has set. Weymouth tried bunting and place kicks and Hamlin played in the line.
 The fourteen men who are to consti- ute the squad for the big games were picked yesterday and assigned to a special training table. The selections, were made by Stillman and Captain Gould and are as follows: Swan and Rafferty right end; Hogan. right tackle; Glass, right guard; Holt, cen- ter: Goss and Hamlin. left guard; Olcott. left tackle; Gould, left end; De Saulles, quarterback: Wilhelmi and Hart, left halfback; Chadwick, right halfback; Weymouth, fullback.
 Other prominent candidates who de- velop sufficiently may be taken to the training table later. George Goss, who has been suffering from strained back, returned to college yesterday and expects to be able to continue playing by the last of the week.

Their muscles are stiff and sore and yesterday afternoon they started in to Timber them. They sprint ed around the field and then settled down to a short fast signal drill, but no scrimmage work was allowed. The backs had practice ill handling punts and throughout the hours work the coaches tried hard to impress every player upon the absolute necessity of cutting out the ft1mbling that has marred the Tigers work so promin- ently lately.

New York, Oct 29.-Columbia's foot ball warriors and student body are in- censed at the reports which have been sent out from New Haven about the Yale-Columbia game last Saturday. Coach Sanford's men say the stories are unfounded and were the malicious work of Yale undergraduates, whose enthusiasm for the dark blue was dampened by the great showing of the players from Morningside Heights. The men against whom charges, it is reported, are to be brought, are Mcclellan, Kindgen and Lancon. Me Lellan is third year law man and played one year on another college team. Lancon and Kindgen belong to athletic clubs in the city and are both full fedged college students.

Faults in Registration Plan.

Elsewhere in this mornings Age Eerald Chancellor Kelly of Anniston calls attention to some important omis- sions in the plan for registering life electorate. Unlike the Age-Herald, he does not oppose the registration plan as a whole of life-term voters, but he desires to amend it so that frauds under it will be minimized.
 He does not confine himself to criti- cism, preferring to apply remedy for the omissions in the reported plan. He suggests a number of amendments In full and exact terms, every one of which would greatly better the regis tration plan of the majority report. The Age-herald would prefer the col lector's list as a registration list, but if that be inadmissible in this State, although admissible in Georgia and Virginia, then the amendments of Judge Kelly are much needed, every one of them.
 The reported plan is very Blackbelt- ish. It should be reformed so that frauds under it would be minimized If Judge Kelly's amendments are rejected 1t will become plain that an indefinite scheme open to frauds of all sorts is desired. If a full, correct and honest registration be desired every one of the amendments offered by the distin- guished chancellor of the Northeastern division will be adopted by the conven- tion. Not one of them should be omit ted, for each and every one was pre-. pared to meet possible frauds against the people of the State.

that the Republican party, led by dar- ing and aggressive men, controls all departments of the government. It controls the judicial side, as well as the legislative and executive depart ments. It is supreme at Washington. It has just taken a census that fur nishes an needful facts. It's statistics of color and illiteracy were shaped to that end, and when Congress meets in December the Crumpackers in 1t will come back fortified by census facts, and by the Ohio platform.
 It should also be remembered that the proposed grandfather clause in this State is peculiarly open to attack, both in Congress and the Supreme Court, because it is based on service in the civil war. The people of Alabama fought for the Confederacy, and the orators will say, and the judges will think, that servlce against the Union is not a proper basis for suffrage in federal elections. North Carolina and Louisiana avoided this rock, but Ala bama will be fully confronted by it if it adopts the majority scheme of the convention.

Pia Iron May Accumulate.

The strike that the Amalgamated Association is conducting does not af- feet pig iron furnaces at all, but it does close many rolling mills of all sorts. As production Is going on at the rate of about 16,000,000 tons year, it is evident that the strike, if long con tinued, will lead to an accumulation of pig iron in the furnace yards. Be- fore the strike production and con sumption were running along on even and parallel lines, but this will be changed by the strike if rolling mills are shut down for any considerable period. This is the second week of the strike, and both sides are as deter mined as they were at the outset.
 Orders are coming in as freely as ever, and the demand is in nowise di- minished. but this demand is for manu- fs ctured goods-for rails and roads and nails and all the other forms that the mills make. These forms cannot be supplied if the mills are shut down, and this means that consumption will be checked and postponed.
 It is difficult to say what effect prolonged strike would have upon pig iron in this district. Perhaps more de. bends upon the extent of the strike. President Shaffer says he can call out all union workers in the iron and steel industry, and he says he will do this if the strike is to be prolonged. But per haps he may change his mind. As rule in such strikes 1t is thought best to keep some at work in order to win support for those who are out, and this may be done in the present case. The developments of the present week in the great strike will be awaited with interest

DEAF, BUT DO NOT KNOW IT

From the New York Herald, May 26. -. Deafness is an affiiction, but worse af- fiction is to be deaf without knowing it. Yet, according to Dr. Lermoyez, distirl- guished French specialist, there are many persons who are more or less deaf, but who are entirely ignorant of that fact
 Writing on the subject In La voix, he points out that many, children are ham, pered owing to this defect. The apparent laziness of such children, he says is the direct result of their partial deafness Neither they nor their teachers nor their parents know that they are afflicted in this manner, but the fact remains that they are, and that they cannot give as much attention to their studies as other children whose hearing is unimpaired When their teachers lecture they can not hear distinctly what they say, and hence it is impossible for them to do satisfactory work at their examinations. The result is that they are set down as blockheads and dunces. when it is not their heads which are at fault. but only their ears.
 Twenty out of every hundred children
 
 1t is claimed, are more or less deaf, and though there gre undoubtedly lazy child ren who hear very well, 1t is these par fiaiiy deaf children who Will generally be found at the bottom of their class in school, and not through any fault of their own, but because 1t is not possible for them to thoroughly understand what is being taught to Them. Dr. Lermoyez. however. also insists that the utmost pains should be taken to guard against deafness in the case of those children whose sense of hearing is normal. Loud winds, the noise of great cities and the roar of waves imperceptibly and gradually destroy the delicate organs of hearing, and therefore children who are obliged to live in the populous districts of great cities or near a shore beset by turbulent waves are hardly likely after middle life to hear as distinctly as those who have passed their days in quieter places.

 MT. Tom Johnson. Mayor of Cleveland, has begun to act upon the proceedings laid down as appropriate in one plank of the Ohio Democratic platform. This plank charges that the railroads of the State have been corruptly aided in the fixing of their valuations for the purpose of taxa tion. The Cleveland instance not only serves to Illustrate the extent to which this has been done. but 1t takes heroic measures to put in force the remedy, MT. Hanna controls a street railroad in Cleve- land the tax valuation of which has been fixed at $60O,Oo0. MT.

Besides this, store sweepings are not to be swept onto the sidewalk nor ice washed on the streets, nor water from the scrubbing of saloons or stores to be swept across the sidewalk. nor garbage or offensive matter to be placed on the streets nor kitchen refuse to be placed elsewhere than In galvanized iron cans holding between three and ten gallons, under a penalty of from s3 to s100.

Recon struction Threatened Aqain.

While the Afro-American League of Washington is pushing the legal side of the grandfather clause to a judicial settlement before friendly court, the negroes of Louisiana, some of whom are wealthy, are holding meetings for the purpose of carrying out the Ohio Republican platform by appealing to a Republican Congress. The Louisiana negroes want punitive legislation and . reduction in representation.
 This may suit their present feelings, but it is difficult to see how a single negro would be benefited by such ef- forts. It would but render negro suf- frage more distant and unattainable. The New Orleans Times-Democrat thus editorially describes the new Louisi- ana movement: ..
 Last nights meeting was a very differ ent thing. It approves the resolution of the Ohio Republicans, and by doing so appeals to Congress or, rather, to the Republican majority in Congress, to at- tack the South. It asks that partisan majority to punish the South because 1t sees fit. in the interest of good govern ment, to disfranchise the ignorant negro voters, to cut down the South's represen- tation in Congress and thus deprive it of its legitimate strength and influence; and 1t practically asks for a renewal of the Legislation of reconstruction days di- rected against the South, intended to CO., cree 1t and overawe it--legisiation which produced disturbances and set this sec 3 Hon completely topsy turvy. & ! The negroes would suffer under. this ..hio-Louisiana programme fully as much as the whites. No one has for. gotten the reconstruction period, and no honest man wants return of such methods.
 It should not be forgotten, however,

Black Belt and White.

The census tables show some curious facts." said a notable citizen yesterday.
 There are only 14,33s foreign born citi- zens in Alabama, about eight-tenths of one per cent. of the entire population. Arkansas has little over one per cent, whilst Alaska, California and Connecticut have g per cent.
 There are only 5S Chinese, three Jap | anese and TIT Indians in Alabama. Alabama has 5O7,37S white males and 493774 white females-not enough to go round; but there are 41SO7O colored fe- males. against 4O7,2S7 colored males, an over-production of females.
 Winston county has only seven ne- groes, presumably one family, and one voter, while Cullman has twenty-one ne- groes, say four voters. Winston, however, has more white people than Dallas-Winston, 9,4O6 whites; Dallas, 9,2S6. Winston has 1-3 members of the General Assembly and Dallas l. Cullman county has 15,OOO white people and one member of the house. 1 Montgomery county has the largest number of negroes, 52.207. Dallas comes next with 45.372
 Dallas has 9,2S5 whites and 45,372 color ed; DeKalb has 225S6 whites and 972 colored.
 There are about 1S00 white voters in Dallas and some 4,517 in DeKalb. De- Kalb gave some 800 majority against the constitutional convention, but Dallas gave 5000 for 1t.
 l 'DeKalb has more than twice as many white people as Dallas, and with but one | member of the house, against three for I Dallas.
 "The thirteen Black Belt counties have about 99,7OO white people and thirty-seven members of the General assembly, whilst Jefferson, with s3,4S9 white people and Cullman with 15.0O0, together have l 1-3 members.
 "The Black Belt has less than one tenth of the white population, less than one-fourth of the entire population of the State, white and blacks, but it has two United States Senators. four Congress- men (more than half our representation at Washington, the Governor and more than half the State officials and em- ployes.
 'Talladega has 1S225 negroes and 1T ,547 whites, and Chambers 15,127 whites and 17,415 negroes; but each of these counties gave over 1000 majority to the constitu- tional convention.

Nicaragua Canal Outlook.

Lord Pauncefote, now at home, and Secretary Hay are trying to, draft a new treaty that will satisfy the British foreign office, the American Depart nent of State and the United States senate. The interoceanic railroads are not mentioned, because their rep resentatives and agents are holding down seats in the Senate, and the ec- centricities of that body over the canal question are due to the efforts of the interoceanic railroads for more delay. The hope is, however, expressed that treaty will be negotiated that will neu- tralize the canal and yet satisfy the Senate. This is indeed doubtful, all though a majority of the. Senate are not retained by the interoceanic rail roads and cannot be. The pestiferous agents of the railroads are the Sen atofs from the little mountain states They unblushingly work for the rail roads, without much concealment of motive.
 It is thought that the new line of op- eration of the opponents of any canal will be diversion in favor of the Pan anna scheme, which is wholly impracti- cable, and which Is firmly held by the French owners. They demand reim- bursement, and the final report of the canal commission, which will be made that the Panama route is impractical ble, and that the cost of a canal on that route would be very large. The report of our engineers will be ac- cepted as final, and it will be in favor = of q Nicaragua canal.
 But the interoceanic agents will fight on just the same, urging, if all else fail, further examination of the Pan anna scheme and further negotiations with it's French owners. They hope to gain anotner years delay in that way. They are fighting for time. They have been fighting on this line nearly fifty years, and their success in the past in baffling the American people gives them courage to fight an almost solid public sentiment ..
 There are not wanting signs that the iuteroceanic railroads have an under Standing with Mark Hanna, for the Ohio Republicans at their Columbus convention did not demand the build ing of canal on the Nicaragua line as they had done in previous years, but they called for ship canal across the isthmus." This is significant. It means that campaign subscriptions are fruiting. It means opposition on the Panama basis in the Senate. But still public sentiment is so strong that new treaty would doubtless be fol lowed by bill that would inaugurate the great and really inevitable work.

OPERATORS ARRESTED.
Were on Strike, and 1t Is Claimed
 obstructed the MalIs.

Little Rock, Ark, July 22.-Train. master s. H. Barnes of the Choctaw. Oklahoma and Gulf Railroad has caused the arrest of five telegraph op- orators on charge of obstructing the mails. A small strike of railroad op- orators was inaugurated on the Choc- Jaw road at Brinkley Saturday night and extended to Forest City, resulting in delay of traffic several hours. It is alleged that the strike was led by an operator who had been with the com pany only a short time, and that his grievance was that he was refused transportation over the road. None of the strikers, it is claimed, belonged to the o rder of Railroad Photographers.
