TIE CADETS DO BATTLE TODAY
Navy Fushers Of Pigskin Expect Defeat But
Will Die Fighting.
(By the Associated Press. }

Philadelphia, Pa, Nov. 29.-The foot
ball warriors of the West Point and
Annapolis Academies arrived here today
for their annual contest on the University
of Pennsylvania's athletic ED tomorrow,
Nearly every train from the North,
South and West that came in during the
afternoon and evening brought scores of
persons who. with the President of the
United States, will watch the cadets do
battle on the gridiron. President Roose-
welt and members of his cabinet, accom-
panied by their wives, will not arrive
until shortly before the beginning of the
game, which is scheduled for O'Clock
The largest crowd that has ever seen
the Army and Navy clash in football is
expected to be on Franklin Field at the
Kickoff. A couple of inches of snow
covers the scene tonight, and it is like
ly that the lot of the spectators will be
a bit uncomfortable as the snow is melt
ing, which means damp ground and seats.
The playing ground is in splendid con-
dition. The announcement that the
President would be on hand had the
effect of making the demand for
tickets enormous. The 24.000 cards
of admission We're divided between the
two academies and the University and
distributed gratis by them. The Penn
sylvania authorities alone were COM
PEELED to refuse $4,000 applicants, so great
has been the demand. Notwithstanding
all the precautions taken, hundreds of the
pasteboards found their way into the
hands of scalpers who are selling them
tonight at fancy prices.
The outcome of the game seems to be
a foregone conclusion, If the words OF
the managers of the respective teams
are criterion. Cadet Portereld, of the
Navy, said:
I'VE expect to lose, but hope to die
fighting
Cadet Mitchell, of the Army, was more
cautious, saying: THE team is in good
shape and We intend to win If possible. >
Two special trains will arrive about
noon tomorrow from West Point bring
ing the Army Corps, numbering about
400 cadets and several hundred follow
ers. The Annapolis cadets, 800 in all
with numerous following will get in
about the same time. The cadets will
return to their respective academies i'm
mdiately after the game

INTERFEREEcE IN ELECTIONS.
Roots Answer to Complaint Against Ameri-
can Authorities in Cuba.
(By the Associated Press }

Washington, Nov. 29-Secretary Root
today addressed communication to
Eligio Bonchea, president of the conven-
tion at Havana, Cuba, that nominated
Bartholomo Maso for President, relative
to complaints that United States au-
thorities were interfering in the Cuban
elections. A press dispatch from Ha-
vana stated that Maso complained that
the influence of United States officers
was being exerted in favor of Estrada
Palma, and dispatch from Bonchea to
the Secretary implied the same thing.
Following is the Secretary's communi-
cation to Senor Bonchea:
Washington, ID, c., Nov. 30, 1901.
"Sir:
Il have the honor to acknowledge the
receipt of your dispatch of November
26th, saying
1.-The National Convention of Havana
which has proclaimed General Maso can
didate for the presidency of the future
republic of Cuba respectfully asks you
to recommend to the representatives of
the intervening government the strictest
impartiality in the electoral contest which
is now taking place
THE representatives of the intervening
Government in Cuba are already aware
that their duty requires them not merely
to be strictly impartial in the electoral
contest in Cuba, but to refrain from in
terfering in any manner whatever with
the free expression Of the wishes of the
Cuban people at the polls. They have
not violated this rule in the past and will
not in the future. They will have moth
ing to do with the electoral contest ex-
cept TO enforce the electoral law pre-
scribed by the constitutional convention
and promulgated by the military COVER
nor on the 14th of October last. This
will be done impartially and effectively.
1T is quite unnecessary to assume that
the officers of this Government will be
less faithful to their duty hereafter than
they have been in the past, or to rec
ommend or direct that they shall perform
a duty which they are already performing.
VERY respectfully,
"ELIHU ROOT,
Secretary of War

LET HIM TURN ON THE LIGHT
Thus Comments Holton on w. B. Ellis Charges
Filed Against Him.

Especial to the News and Observer.)
Winston Salem, n. c., Nov. 29.-Dis-
trict Attorney A. E. HoltOn, when
questioned today regarding the charges
filed with the President against him by
Mr. w. B. Ellis, a former resident of
this city, now of New. York-these
charges having been referred by the
President to Attorney General Knox
said that he supposed the charges grew
out of transaction between himself
and Mr.. Ellis.
Continuing the District Attorney said:
''Mr. Ellis objected to paying me fee
of SIS in a case which required three
weeks of my time. The late Col. Arm
field appeared with me in the case and
received $3.50 for his services. | re-
tanned my fee from money collected for
Mr.. Ellis. He retained an attorney in
New York, who upon information of the
circumstances dropped the matter
This transaction was closed last winter.
| don't think Mr.. Ellis has ever en-
ployed an attorney in this city without
having a controversy over the fees. He
has gone so far as to cartoon Watson
and Buxton, Glenn and Manly, Col.
Frank Fries, w. A. Lemly and Post
master Reynolds. In fact, he devoted
good portion of last winter to all these
gentlemen. greatly to the amusement of
our citizens. Mr.. Ellis is welcome to
turn on all the light he has in the tran
saction between him and myself"
Mr.. Holtons term as District Attorney
expires on January 10th and he feels
confident that he will be reappointed.

dorsements from both Republicans and

Argument by General Royster.

Mr. Hicks finished speaking at 1880
and halt was had for five minutes to
let the jurors get around a stove and
warm their feet. When they returned to
the jury box Gen. 3. S. Royster began
his speech for the defense.
Declaring his purpose to malgn no
one nor to pay fulsome praise, but to
speak fairly, if at times seemingly
harshly, he began his argument, after
first saying that he had been dismayed
by the books which Mr.. Biggs had
brought into court, as if to impress the
jury with the great wealth of learning
behind him and his view of the case.
He declared that in one breath the
plaintiff had said there was divorce
of this case between Methodism and this
case, but in the next breath a marriage
between it and Judge Clark.
Coming to the case he read the issues
to be passed on and quoted from the
opinion of the Supreme Court in the
matter. He then followed by saying
that the motives of the trustees in is
suing the pamphlet was to repel
vicious attack and to protect Trinity
College, not to crafty hatred and malice
against anyone.
Telling of the action-of this country in
1898 when it saidto Spain, you must no
longer oppress," he said that it was in
this same year that the attack was
made on Trinity College, and that it was
on the 18th of July when Spain surren-
dered and it was on the same 18th of
July, 1898, that the guns of the enemy
of Trinity College were trained upon it
ana men We're ready to destroy it.
What was the duty of the men in
charge of Trinity? The man who made
the first assault was still on the skirm-
ish line and it was not until the night
of August 81, 1885, that the attempt was
made to storm the heights OF the use
