PEACE AND MAR.

Last week there were launched two great big ships
The the great merchant carrier Minnesota, typ
ica of peace and the other the armored cruiser
West Virginia
Here we have peace and war, many will say. The one
ship will spread the white wings of and carry our
civilization the of the earth while the other Will
serve as the armed guardian of the peace ship On her
errands of sociability and trade
Yet it is quite easy see why the relationship
between peace and should have grown up with mod
ern Piracy has been largely swept from the
armored cruisers. They carried one guns to
guard them against robbers and savage natives on
shore and for the they depended solely the soft
ening and civiiZng influence of friendly trade.

THE BIG CAME
The Minnesota Football Eleven
Makes Unexpected Demands
Upon Berkeley Management
LATTER WILL NOT AGREE
Wires East That the Original
Terms Must Be Accepted or
There Will Be No Contest

BERKELEY, Dec. 15.-COmplications
that arose to-day between the business
representatives on both sides threaten
to be the cause Of the abandonment Of
the proposed game between the foot
ball elevens Of the University Of Cali
fornia and Of the University Of Michi-
gan on New Years day.
The trouble is all over terms. Man
ager Ezra DecotO sent a representative
to Denver to meet Barnard. manager
for Minnesota, to arrange terms il pos
sible The California representative
notified Decoto yesterday that an
agreement had been made and it
seemed nothing further stood in the
way of a game. Briefly, the terms were
that California would pay the travelling
expenses of twenty MinnesOtans to the
coast and maintain them in San Fran
cisco for ten days, California to assume
all the financial burden.
Manager DecOtO received a telegram
to-day from DR.. H. L. Williams. chair
man OF the Minnesota athletic commit
tee, insisting that all the terms agreed
to by Manager Barnard be strictly
lived up to and enumerating some OF
the articles he supposed were contained
in the contract. These articles called
for bringing the visitors out over the
Burlington route as far as Omaha,
thence over the Denver and Rio Grande
road to Oregon, with stODOver prtvi-
leges, and return by way Of Los An
geIes; incidental expenses amounting
to $3.50, telegraph expenses $50 and ex-
penses for representative to Denver $40.
Manager -DecOtO at once placed HIM
self in communication with CalifOrnia's
representative, who had by this time
reached New Mexico. He discovered
the agreement called for none Of the
luxuries mentioned by DR.. Williams.
He then wired DR.. Williams, demand
ing that he either accept the agree
ment as it stands or quit altogether
Manager DecOtO is awaiting a reply to
his last dispatch and upon it depends
whether there will be a game on New
Years day or not.
The hesitating conduct OF the Mime
sofa representatives is thought TO be
due to the failure Of their Denver agent
to get more liberal terms, though he
was clothed with full power TO act
when he set out to meet the California
representative.
