at Convention Hall on March 2. is well
pleased with the response it has re-
ceived from athletes who have been in
vited to contest in the meet Many en-
tries from prominent lights in the athletic
world have been received. Nearly all of
the big Eastern universities will be repre-
scented, as well as the smaller colleges and
preparatory schools. An effort is being
made 10 bring the relay teams Of
the Naval and Military Academies at An
napolis and West Point together in a spe-
cial mile relay race. Although this event
has not been arranged yet there is a
bright prospect that it will be scheduled.
Such a contest would prove immensely
popular in Washington and would practi-
cally assure the success Of the meet.
Relay races will form an important fea-
ture of the meet. Several days ago
Georgetown made arrangements with the
University of Pennsylvania for a mile re-
lay race between the teams OF the two
universities. The personnel of the Penn

which will attract general attention is
that between Cornell and Columbia The
two teams met at the games of the Knick-
erbocker Athletic Club in New York last
week, and in magnificent contest the
lthacans won by yard. Columbia is
naturally anxious TO retrieve Its lost hon

a chance. The Cornell sprinters will
be accompanied to Washington by a large
guard Of the delegation OF several hun
dred students who will attend the inau-
guration ceremonies on March 4.

as broad as in this country.

GENERAL WILSON
Is CONFIRMED
Presidential Nominees Meet
the Approval Of United
States Senate

Washington, Feb. 14.-The senate
held two executive sessions yesterday,
with the result that all the presidential
nominations to the office Of brigadier
general were confirmed. The nomina-
tions which caused discussion were
those of Gems. Bates, Wood, Grant and
Bell Senator Pettigrew criticized
Gen. Bates nomination because that
officer had negotiated the Sulu treaty,
which treaty he attacked sharply.
Senators Teller and Rawlins also
Joined in the criticism of the Sulu
treaty. They referred especially to its
recognition of the institutions of
slavery and polygamy, which they
claimed was repugnant TO the tastes Of
the people of this country as well az
to the constitution. No one, however,
made objection to Gen. Bates con-
frmation when the time for vote was
reached.
The criticism Of Gen. Wood was con-
fined to the fact that his military rec
/ ord is not extended. Senators Bate,
of Tennessee, and Jones, of Arkansas,
objected to the nominations of Gems.
Wood, Grant and Bell on the ground
that their nominations constitute a
breach of the rule OF seniority in the
army. Among those who spoke in sup
port of the presidents right to ap-
point as he had done were Senators
Cockrell and Pettus, both Democrats.

Hanna Should Keen His Hands Off

From Philadelphia Bulletin.
This mornings dispatches represent
Mark Hanna as sending the following
mandate to the Republicans of Della
ware
you must elect two United States
senators. be they Addicks and DUPONT
or Addicks and anybody else. We have
40 quarrel with Addicks"
If the Chic senator has been correct
ly quoted it is manifest that he has
been guilty OF gross improperly in as
3uming to issue any such instructions
Il is not for any outsider to say wheth-
er the Delaware Republicans shall elect
two senators of their own faith, or one
senator. or none at all That is a ques-
lion whose decision rests solely with
the people of the State. and il Hanna
has undertaken to prescribe the cleo
tion of Addiclys. his action ought to
prove a tonic in stiffenipg the back
bone OF the anti-Addicl5s men.
The Republican party is sure OF a
strong majority in the United States
Senate after March in any event, and
the excuse OF partisan necessity cannot
be urged as a reason for the surrend
ar ofDelaware to Addicks and his asso-
eiates. II the opponents of the gasman
are unwilling to allow their State to
20 unrepresented in the Senate for the
next two years. they have only to join
n combination by which one repu-
table Democrat and one anti-Addicks
Republican shall be chosen.
This would break the deadlock and
End a situation which has been a pro
onged scandal in American politics.

NEWSPAPER OPINION
Norssnsical Addickslsm

NONSsNolCdl hOulCkSlSiH
From the Georgetown Republican.
The senatorial fight still continues.
Apparently very little interest is mani
Tested in the voting and the public
seems to have reached the settled con-
viction that there is no solution to the
difficulty. The Addicks men still main
tain the nonsensical way of voting for
Addicks and Addicks for long and
short term, and we should think the
members would be ready to claim with
apologies to a certain poet)
Addioks hot and Addicks cold,
Addicks young and Addicks old;
Addicks tender and Addicks tough
Thank the Lord we've had Addicks
enough.
Addicks cannot be elected and yet he
thus far has succeeded in preventing
the election of any other senator. The
he-manger policy has been ex-
tended to the other manager and If it is
Addicks' disposition TO extend TO two,
why not TO all. If Addicks and his
friends believe they have an excuse for
preventing the election of anyone to
an office they claim Addicks should
have, what reasonable excuse can they
have for preventing the election of a
man to an office he cannot possibly
have? Do they intend TO assume the
policy that unless Mr.. Addiclrs cannot
have what he wants. no other Republi-
cam however deserving, shall have
anything. Certainly il they will not
elect another senator because Addicks
cannot be, they would be just as willing
to say I'VE will not elect a congress-
man or unless Mr.. Addicks is made
senator" or we will not elect a gov
eanor unless Mr.. AddiclSs is made SEN
ator' or I'VE will not elect lieuten-
ant-governor unless Mr.. Addiclxs be
made senator" or I'VE will not elect
the State ticket unless Mr.. Addicks is
made senator" and so on. It is the
same policy exactly, and while we do
believe Addicks is and has always been
ready to thus prevent Republican sue
cess, we were not ready TO believe that
all men now voting for him for SEN
ator were willing TO go this far.
