Chinese VIII Put Up Money.

san Francisco, Dee. 1.-The Chinese are
preparing to make vigorous fight
against the reenactment of the Geary ex-
cnsion law. A proclamation has been is
sued by the Chinese Six companies re-
quiring every Chinese in the United
States to contribute $40. the sum to be
used to attempt to defeat the exclusion
act.
The proclamation also states that if the
amount is not forthcoming within one
month the amount will be doubled. Lest
some should still seek to evade the en-
forced contribution the proclamation adds
that Chinese desiring to return to China
will be compelled to exhibit receipt
showing that they have made the pay
ment, and in default of such receipts they
will be fined $40. The proclamation has
been posted in Chinatown and is to be
distributed all over the country.

Army Team Won.

Philadelphia, Dec. Probably the
most distinguished gathering that ever
witnessed football game in this coun-
try, and admittedly the greatest crowd
that ever entered the gates of Franklin
Field, saw West Point defeat Annapolis
this afternoon by the score Of IL to 5.
From the moment that President Roose-
welt and his party entered the great am
phitheater until half an hour after the
timekeeper had blown his whistle an
nouncing the cessation of hostilities there
was continuous uproar such as probably
never has taken place on any football
field in the country. Even the president
and several members of his cabinet. work
ed up to nervous pitch by the game, left
their seats in the private box which had
been set apart for their occupation ana
took positions on the side line benches,
which are usually used for substitute
players and injured There was not a seat
unoccupied, and hundreds of persons stood
around the field throughout the entire
game.

that the reports giving the number d

that Superintendent Burns places the
number of dead at Il and the several ID
jured at II. He says that many of those
reported wounded are only bruised and
scratched. and that most of these were
yesterday on their way home.
A message from Superintendent Burns
states that eight bodies had been taken
ont of the wreck and identified, and that
there were charred fragments OF bodies
representing by undertakers estimate, u
or Is adults and one infant. This report
also stated that Fireman Doud was still
missing.

identified dead:

They VIII Win.

London, Dec. "a dispatch to the
Daily Mail from Pretoria gives indica-
ton why, with continuous captures.
the Boer forces do not seem to dimin-
ish. The dispatch says that Beers are
constantly escaping from the concen.
tration camps and towns to rejoin the
fighting forces and that measures will
have to be taken to stop this leakage.
The Beers In the town are still irrecon-
Cilable. says the dispatch, and believe
their cause will eventually triumph.
Sir Gordon Spriggs, prime minister
OF Cape Colony, during the course OF
speech at a banquet. said Cape Col.
ony was maintaining In the cape an
army numbering 10000, the bulk of
whom were mounted. and that these
numbers were increasing weekly. 1t
was great strain on the treasury,
said the prime minister, but the col
ony was prepared to bear 1t as long as
necessary The rebels were being
gradually worn down and the prospect
was not discouraging.

New York, Dec. 1.-The correspondent
OF the London Times and the New York
Times says that in order to cope with the
large number Of Beers whlcn Keep III
touch with Commandant General Botha
east OF the line of biockhouses from N'lSe
river to Grcylinsstad, II British columns
are operating between the Delagoa and
Natal rivers.
In the western Transvaal the columns
under Lord Methucn, Colonel kekew'cn
and Colonel Hickc are sweeping the coun-
try in conjunction with the forces on the
railway line and the constabulary posts.
1t seems, says the correspondent, that
the blockhouses are to form the chief fac
tor in the pacficaiion Of the country The
new lines Of blockho,,scs will soon enter
the Pretoria Johannesburg district AMI
free it of the enemy.
Tho concentration OF British columns
south of the Deagoa railway have with
drawn the troops north Of the line, with
the result that the Beers are back again
in that neighborhood, where horse sick
ness and fever do not prevail and food IS
plentiful
Lord Kitchener, says the correspondent,
has never had sufficient troops to carry
out comprehensive operations simultan-
eously north and south OF the Dclagoa
line.
Commenting on the situation in South
Tribune says:
There is more philosophy than faith in
the current discussion OF the war. The
monthly reviews contain the commentar-
les from various pens and the various pa
pers have ceased to be Il record of what
il going on in South Africa. Sir Charles
Dixie draws an analogy in the Fortnightly
Review between the British operations
against the Beers and the French cam
paign in Mexico. where guerrilla warfare
was suppressed by the abolition of trans
port and the equipment of mobile columns
OF picked men.
Sir Charles bikes article leaves much
unsaid about the real situation in South
Africa. while the Beers are as unique IN
guerrilla warfare as they were in defense
in tho early stage OF the campaign. There
are defects in the British system now, az
they were then, and these sources Of
weakness help to explain the prolongation
of hostilities. Military men get little In
formation from the papers, but know
many secrets from the correspondence Of
officers in South Africa and are familiar
with the talk of returning soldiers. They
assert that Lord Kitcheners officers do
not cooperate well with him, nor with one
another, and that there is constant fric-
ton, with unceasing grumbing and dis
content. There is a growing feeling that
Lord kitchener's talents for organize
tion, 40 conspicuous in the Soudan, have
been a source of weakness and dissatis-
faction in South Africa.

Important DccisiOn.

Washington, Dec. 4.--The United States
supreme court has rendered decision in
the case OF Emil j. Pepke versus the
United States. This is the case known as
the IA diamond rings case and involves
the constitntionalty of the imposition
OF customs duties upon merchandise
brought into the United States from the
Philippine islands after the exchange Of
the peace treaty with Spain. The opin-
ion was handed down by Chief Justice
Fuller.
The opinion was adverse to the claims
OF the government on the ground that the
Philippines were at the time the rings
were brought in American territory; ceas-
ing to he foreign territory, they became
domestic territory, he said.

We're Decorated with FIOwers-
Old Rules VIII stand.

Washington. Dec 3-The opening OF
the first session of the fifty seventh con-
press at noon Monday drew to the capi-
tol a large throng of spectators eager 10
witness the scenes of animation which
mark the annual Resembling OF the ma
tional lawmakers.
Although the actual work OF the two
houses was not to begin until II O'Clock,
the historic old structure, now refurnish-
cd from end to end, until it shone with
marble, gilt and rich decorations, was
astir long before that hour. It was an
ideal day to bring out the public-sunny
and warm, with just enough breeze from
the south to lazily stir the flags over the
capitol, some of which were raised Tor
the first time since the adjournment OF
congress, nine months ago. There were
no entrance restrictions, and the crowds
flowed unnterruptedly into the building.
Many ladies were in the throng, includ-
ing the wives and families Of senators
and members, as well as many OF the
feminine representatives OF the CABINET,
diplomatic and executive circles. Senators
and members began arriving early in the
day, and there was the usual handshak-
ing among old friends and informal talks
Of the work ahead.
The veteran senator from Iowa, Senator
Allison, was one of the first to reach the
senate and resume his work as chairman
of the committee on appropriations.
Senator Jones of Arkansas, the demo-
cratic leader in the senate, was another
early arrival, and had a circle of his dem
ocratic friends in the cloak room discuss
ing the sessions program.
Speaker Henderson did not reach the
house wing until shortly before the SEES
sion opened, and remained in the private
room of the speaker comforting with
members during the formalites preceding
his reelection as speaker.
"a profusion of floral offerings, quite
unusual in quantity, variety and beauty,
transformed the senate chamber into a
veritable flower show. Almost every
member of the body was the recipient
of one or more of these evidences of the
regard OF his friends and the atmosphere
of the chamber was heavy with the odor
of rare plants and blossoms. The display
of chrysanthemums was notably beauti
full, many of the specimens being of the
choicest varieties.
Dietrich and Willard of Nebraska, Glib
son of Montana and kittredge of South
Dakota were sworn in as senators.
The senate took recess until 2 o'clock
to await the organization of the house
and the appointment of its committee tt
wait upon the president. Senators Hale
of Maine and Morgan of Alabama wer,
appointed as the senate committee.
At 2 o'clock the senate reassembled
Mr. Gamble announced the death of tn,
late Senator Kyle and the senate ad
journed.
