The Joke ON the Snake Charmcr.

Rear Admiral Robley d. Evans when
a young officer was on the Indian sta
ton in the man-of- war Delaware. With
several others he set up Il bungalow on
shore. He tells in "A Sailors Log"
published by the Appletons, what hap
along:
The unfortunate thought came to
one of our men that it would be good
idea to get the Mohammedan drunk to
see what he would do. SO he prepared
a dose for him that was very effective
He poured good stiff drink of brandy
into beer glass and then filled it with
gin instead of water. The charmer
took kindly to the drink and in a short
time rolled out of his chair on to the
floor very drunk and was soon fast
asleep.
'The bag of snakes had not been
thought of up to this time. but it also
fell, and the inhabitants quickly spread
over the floor In the meantime five
American officers took to the table and,
drawing their feet up, carefully re.
manned there until the snake charmer
slept off his dose. He snored quietly
while the snakes crawled over and
around him. but it was a long time be-
fore he finally came to himself, secured
his pets and took them away. We did
not repeat that experiment."

"The actual amount Of good roast
beef that a table Of athletes will con
sumo" writes Walter Camp in The
Century. lis something appalling to
the uninitiated. Three members Of a
Yale football team once went to Cam
bridge to watch a match between Har-
yard and some other team. These
three men stopped at a hotel for their
luncheon. Among other things the
spokesman Of the party ordered three
portions of cold roast beef. But, sir
said the waiter, two portions will be
a great plenty for all three of you
The giant of the party looked up bland
ly at the servant and said, You bring
the three portions and then watch us

New Haven the afternoon of the day
preceding the match, went to Boston

of the men were readily collected at
one or two large tables. but Il certain
rusher, being late. had seated himself
at Il table in a distant part of the din
ing room. and he was told by fhe man
ager to order his own dinner. That

that it was without wine. came to the

quite able to play the next day. how

UNDER NOSE OF POLICE
Fifteen Guests and Hotel Clerk Find
1t Advisable to BE Chary
of Speech.

Special to The Journal
Chicago, Nov. 11.-Fifteen guests, all
busily engaged in conversation, suddenly
threw up their hands last night in Benja-
min Barnett's lodging house, in Clark
street, and, in compliance with orders
from a masked highwayman, armed with
two huge revolvers, lined themselves up
against the wall and witnessed one of the
boldest robberies committed in the Harri-
son street police district in many months.
Unable to offer any resistance through
fear Of death, these men were forced to
stand in this position while another
masked highwayman held up Fred Backus,
night clerk of the hotel, and forced him
to give him $40, the contents Of the cash
drawer. Then, still, terrorized by the
threats of the robbers, the dodgers stood
motionless while the marauders backed
slowly out of the place and escaped
This robbery occurred at 9 o'clock, within
a block Of the Harrison street police sta
tion and at the time policeman was re-
porting to his headquarters at a patrol
box on the corner with a few feet of
the scene. He was informed Of what had
happened within five minutes after the
masked men had left, and few moments
later a dozen detectives were on the
scene, but they were unable to secure
any trace of the thieves.

retary Hay to-day respecting the cond1-

Chang's death The minister has not yet
been advised officially of the reported pur-
pose Of his government to relieve him at

from any responsible educational institu-

The United States so far has not named
it's representative on the committee OF
bankers at Shanghai who are to act as the
collectors and distributors of the inter-
national indemnity fund of 450,000,00O
taels, with interest. The delay is caused
by the absence of any American bank in
China Unless American fnanciers can
become interested in this subject to the
extent of opening a bank in the ORIENT
the United States probably will be obliged
to name a British fiscal agent. A threat
to trade is said to be involved in such
selection, in view of the fact that at least
three other nations, party to the protocol,
are likely to make the same choice, there
by placing an enormous and unusual pow
er of regulating the rates Of exchange
in the hands of foreign concern.

MUELLER TO PLAY
Statement Made to That Effect on
High Authority.
N. D. TEAM GIVES MIKN. PRACTICE
Tickets for the Game VIII Be Placed
ON Sale Wednesday
Morning.

Mueller will play in the game against
Wisconsin Saturday. A statement to
that effect comes from high authority in
university football circles and leaves lit
tie doubt in the minds of those who know
OF the staement that Mueller will be in
the game in his old-time form. There is
a feeling in both schools that the best
teams should meet and that there should
be no barring on pure technicalities, pro-
vided the men in the game are in school
purely for the purpose of getting an edu-
cation. The announcement that Mueller
will play will, therefore, be hailed with
delight by the rooters.
Game Behind Closed Doors.
The Minnesotans and North Dakotans
are having little football game all to
themselves on Northrop field this after
noon, no spectators being admitted. The
arrangement was made Friday and in
cluded the plan Of playing the substitutes
against the North Dakotans Saturday.
The play this afternoon is for the practice
of the first team and will be limited to
two Commute halves. There will be no
special attempt at scoring, but the ball
will be given to the two teams by turns
lor tne purpose OF Trying special plays.
This arrangement will allay the fears of
those who have felt that it was a mistake
not to keep the varsity team up to it's
work by having it play Saturday.

ny" man who writes things for it's foot

San Francisco, Nov. 11.-Judge Noyes
again took the stand this morning in the
contempt proceedings, and Attorney Nc
aushlin continued the direct examina
tiol He gave further history of his trip
"a Nome, his arrival and meetings with
ne attorneys and officials there and the
1ac,s of the. appointment of receivers.
He made a complete and emphatic de-
NAL Of all the charges that the Lane and
Pioneer crowd have brought against him.
The affidavit which Attorney Hume says
he did not sign, Noyes said was signed in
his presence.
The arrival Of writs of supersedeas was
reached and NOyes recalled that Marshal
Vawter had served them on him in his
bedroom. At the time he did not pay
much attention to the circumstance. as
he had been i'll for several days with a
severe cold and had not been out of his
room since Wednesday, and that was
Monday.
He gave no instructions to Vawter to
secure the military to guard the gold dust
and all his instructions were given in
writing. He had afterwards written to
MAJOR Fanorsdale to send a guard upon
information received from Mr.. Whitehead
of the bank that mob was gathering and
threats were being made to break into the
bank. In regard to the gold dust, Moves
said:
i never at any time gave any order
or expressed any opinion by which Nc
Kenzie would be restrained from turning
over to the defendants the gold dust in
the bank. If his counsel gave him any
advice or instructions never heard of it ."
Captain Trench had gone to Noyes while
that trouble was on and had expressed
hls opinion that the military was unneces-
sary and asked permission to withdraw
the guard at the bank, also the police pa
troll from Nome.
Noyes refused permission and informed
Trench that the military forces we're sub
lect only to orders of his court or the
marshal and that he could not be at the
command of everybody.

writs of supercedeas.
At l 1o'clock the attorneys in the case
appeared before the circuit court of ap-
peals and after Mclaughlin had reported
progress the court adjourned the final
hearing to the same time tomorrow.

Manila, Nov. 11.-Major William Pitch
er of the Eighth regiment of infantry
commanding the Mindoro expedition, re-
ports that the garrison of Abra de Hog
was attacked yesterday by a force OF in
surgents commanded by Lenocos. The
Filipinos apparently attempted to repeat
the Samar tactics, but the Americans, who
were breakfasting, fully armed, COM
pletely routed the insurgents, who left
seven men dead on the field, each having
rifle and ammunition. One American
was seriously wounded.
Captain Noyes of the Thirtiesth in
fantry. commanding a detachment of fifty
men, has captured a deserter named
Richter of the Sixth artillery wearing the
uniform Of an insurgent lieutenant. Major
Pitcher says he recently captured three
otdcers and large part of an insurgent
company, all fully armed 1t is believed
the insurgents recently received an Illicit
supply Of munitions of war.
Cathalogan, Island Of Samar, Nov. IL
The insurgents are fiocking northward.
They are suffering greatly from famine.
Many isolated bolomen have surrendered.
Only fear caused by Lukban's proclama-
tion, threatening with death those who
surrender, prevents a general submission
Of the insurgents, but it is expected that
all this will be secured in a few days.

New York, Nov 11.-Now that the
Northern Pacific matter is practically set
tied, and to the satisfaction of all con-
cerned, Wall street hears from what may
be considered reliable authority that the
attention Of the railway magnates is di-
rected to the removal of the Wisconsin
Central as a rate disturber in order to
insure what is by no means assured so
long as the Wisconsin Central remains in
its present independent position, namely,
complete harmony in the northwestern
railroad situation.
According to reports at the Waldorf yes
terday the Wisconsin Central system is to
be taken over in the interest of the recon
ciled Hill-Harriman groups, though on
what basis is not disclosed. Rumor has it
that already large block of the stock has
been transferred at considerably higher
than the market price.
AS is known, Wisconsin Central is a
large carrier of flour, rates on which have
time and again been cut. 1t is with the
object Of preventing this and other rate
cutting that control of the system is now
sought.

ARREST FOR FRAUD
Prominent Ohio Man Accused of EN-

AMERICAN ms. UNION SECRETARY
John Nj. MuIfOrd Charged With Ma

to The Journal.

Special to The Journal
Chicago, Nov. IA special to the
Chronicle from Columbus, Ohio, says:
John M. Mulford, prominent in religious
educational and business circles of Ohio,
was arrested at o'clock yesterday morn
ing on charges of embezzlement and per-
jury, preferred by the national officers of
the American Insurance Union, Of which
he was national secretary and of which
Governor Nash is national counsellor.
Nearly everybody in Columbus knows
Mulford, and this city is shocked
Another general charge was placed
against him, which the directors publicly
announce will be changed to a charge Of
forgery. Two of the affidavits, one of
which is signed by Clinton Hollenbeck,
national medical director, allege embez-
element. The third complaint is signed
by Lincoln J. Fritter, national secretary
and a law partner of ex-Congressman
John J. Lentz, who is national president
OF the organizattno, and charges perjury
alleging that false reports were made to
the state commission of insurance in re-
gard to the condition Of the organization
The reports in question were sworn to
by Mr.. Mulford The books Of the COM
pany were examined by order of the state
commissioner of insurance some time
ago, and afterward an auditing commit
bined reports Of the two examinations
the arrest was made.
The report Of the secretary stated that
the assets of the company were $27, POS. SO,
when, it is charged, they really were $27, :
1851. The liabilities of the organization
were placed at 81, ,622 .O5, when they were,
the auditors say, $39,9O6.53 The bills
payable were placed at $8,324, when they
were $12,35O. The losses for the past year
or tod 10 hn
$23,5OO. The salaries, rents, office ex-
penses, bills due and accrued bills were
stated to be $1,29S.O8, when they were
SO, 1858. The borrowed money was placed
at $8,S24, when it should have been 81, ,O55.
This is summary of the finding by the
auditors.
Mulford is superintendent Of the largest
Sunday school in Columbus and general
manager Of the Equitable Life Insurance
company for Ohio, for which position he
resigned the principalship of one of the
high schools Of this city.

DIFFERING WITH DANES
Treaty of CessiOn of West Indies
Hangs Fire PersistentIy.

Washington, Nov. 1.-THE projected treaty
of cession of the Danish West Indies to the
United States is not so well advanced as it
was hoped would be the case at this time.
1t is now doubtful whether the treaty will
be completed in time to submit to congress
when it reassembles next month. The delay
appears to have arisen through the last
change in the ministry at Copenhagen.
All the principal questions had been ad-
justed when the entry into power of a new
minister not we'll disposed toward the treaty
made it necessary to begin the work anew.
While the negotiations are proceeding they
have not reached a point yet where it can
be predicted certainly that treaty will re
suit. The issues do not touch the price to
be paid so much as the conditions as to the
future of the citizens of the Danish West
Indies sought to be imposed by Denmark.
The United States desires a simple treaty
and one that will leave it at perfect liberty
to deal with the islands in the future without
any restrictions imposed by treaty.
