Washington, April 29.-Oficial adj
vices received at the navy department
from the Philippines record the dis
covery of a number of valuable is
lands in the southern part of the archi-
pelago which are not on any of the
charts in possession of the govern

government has yet laid claim to these
islands, and to preclude any such claim
Secretary Moody has taken steps to
have the islands properly charted as
the property of the United States after
first having every effort made to learn
If any government had ground for
claim to the new islands. A naval
vessel will probably be ordered to the
southern part of the archipelago to

The Soul of Man.


Mr.. Editor:
On next Sunday morning it is
my purpose to preach on the
above subject.
Concerning the soul and its
Immortality, which makes man
the central figure Of Gods crea-
ton, there is a great lack OF
definite knowledge among many
people. [ do not claim to have
fathomed it's wonderful depths,
nor have I more than a glimpse
of it's possibilities that lie out OF
the vast stretches Of a deathless
existence but, having given the
subject a great deal Of thought,
I feel that it is not presumptious
in me to invite my friends and
acuuaintanceS to come and give
me a hearing-especially would
I like to address the young
people.
Very respectfully,
A. G. Smith,

the contestants of the ganadaac cup race
today. The course Wassa beat of seven
miles with 4 broad zach and close
reach home BY sheer seamanship the
first of the Canada cup races goes to
the defender after close race with a
most exciting spinn4ke run at the fin
ish. Sz1EssEs
AT the start the Canadian was first over
and in the weather position. The turn at
the first buoy was pretty The boats made
it long port tack Irondequoit had
been held little hfghsfor the buoy and
came down with a rush Strathcona shot
around with a lead cot twenty seconds.
Twice Capt Barr, tried to huff across
Strathcona's wake and pass her to wind

Strathcona finally ealaae out in the lead

lunpy, but she made less fuss than IRON

Then Irondequoit suddenly pulled up.
How she did 50 is fnexplicable, but she
shot up to windward, blanketed the Can
adam and passed her like a rocket. This
time turn was: Irondequoit, i :05 :55;
Strathcena, 4 :06:05. ~
The last triangle was run home with
the wind on the port quarter. The wind
had varied a tfifle, and at 1:25 Skipper
Jarvis decided that he could carry his
spinnaker. Stratheona's big spinnaker
dragged her along inch by inch. closer to
Irondequoit AT. last she was close
enough to interfere with the leading boats

collapsed in a tangled futter She luffed
to keep Stratheona from passing on. her
weather quarter, but Skipper Jarvis also
luffed until his big spinnaker no longer
drew The yachts were steering away
to windwards of their course, but Skipper
Barr again luffed. Jarvis hung grimly
to his weather quarter and then suddenly
squared away, shooting across his rival $
wake Out came his. spinnaker and
away he ran The American set his spin

LOU DILLON NOT AS
FAST AS CRESCEUS
Little Mare Must Travel Faster to
Equal Record of King of Trotters.

To equal the record of Cresceus
2:02A, Lou Dillon will be required to
step 46-100 of a foot farther a second
than she did when she lowered the
mark of Alix, 2:03%.
When Lou started out last month to
break records and on her first attempt
showed mile in 2:06A,. her speed av-
eraged 41.S2 feet a secoIA, which fig
ure she increased to 43.32 feet a sec
ond when she placed the wagon mark
at 2:04A. Her first trial to sulky re-
suited in mile in 2:04A, on which oc-
casion she Travelled 42.49 feet second,
while her second and successful effort
to the tWo-wheeler brought her time
down to 2:031a, and her distance sec
ond up to 1918 feet.
Cresceus' average SecorN on his
mile in 2:02N was 43.19 feet, SO that a
margin of 46-100 foot second, slightly
less than half foot, separates him
from the little mare.
If Cresceus and Lou Dillon had both
done their best work on the same track
at the same time, starting from the
wire on even terms, the stallion would
have had lead on the mare at the
end of his mile of 56.235 feet. And it is
exactly this distance that she must
overcome, to equal the champions
mark.

Michigan Coach Would Have West Rep
resented on Committee.
. ANN ARBOR, Mich, Aug. 8-Coach
Yost, of Michigan, in a letter sent here,
argues that the West should have repre-
sentation on the committee which makes
changes in the football rules, and sug
gests a conference OF. Western coaches.
He says that, in his opinion. the recent
changes advocated by the Eastern COM
mittee are step backward. not for
. ward.
He also claims that the ''seven men in
the line" rule will not bring more end
running. as the Fasteners expect. He
! says in part:
II do not think the West should be en-
tirely ignored in the adoption of the new
rules There is not a representative on
the committee west Of Cornell.
= Most of the changes in the rules are
very good ones, but as regards the rule
that seven men shall be on the line of
scrimmage between the twenty-five-ya yard
lines, 1 am opposed to that, because ]
think it is going backward instead of
forward. The seven men in the line rule
is nothing new. That is the way we older
players learned our game. Princeton is
the only college That has stuck to 1t, and
they have lost. Look how little ground
they have gained In their last three games
with Yale.
II believe rule stating that six men
be in the line of Scrimmage at all tunes
would be a good one and one that would
be satisfactory
'T should like to see any changes that
would help the game. I believe the West
ern men should get together and discuss
this matter, as it Is important.
IF they wish fair comparison, give
us six men in the line of scrimmage, one
half of the game On all parts of the field,
and let the rules as adopted to be, eff
fective between the twenty five-yard lines
be effective to all parts Of the field for
the other half of the game; if the first
rule does not produce more end running
and a more open game generally. then
we will be satisfied to adopt the rules as
attended or changed"

Lacrosse Notes

There has been little doing in lacrosse
circles the past week. After their vic
tory of last Sunday the boys took a rest
until Wednesday, when a light practice
was held. Friday evening showed a still
larger attendance. but this morning the
real hard work will be resumed and con-
tlnued throughout the coming week.
Notwithstanding last weeks splendid
yistory. the Saints realize that to beat
the Calumets on their own grounds. they
Will nave to put up even faster game
than before. Tierney, the famous point
who was unable to make the last trip
to st. Paul. will undoubtedly be lined up
with the crimson shirts, and Parker, the
sprlnter, may also be with them. On top
Of that the Saints will be playing before
hostile crowd, and there is no game in
which the encouragement of the home
rooters has more effect than in lacrosse.
What impressed the spectators most in
last Sundays game was the Improvement
IN condition of the locals over that dis
played at the previous match. Their play
was much snapper and few opportunities
We're lost for lack of reserve force. In the
field. Oehme and Allan were on the go
from beginning to end and were far from
exhausted at the finish.
The home. too, adopted more effective
tactics, most of the scores being made
from close in on the net. Brown and
Whyte took positions almost on the goal
crease. one on either side. and at the
opportune moment coaxed out their
checks, leaving Kervin and Elliott
straight run in
By some 1t was thought that Baker
showed reversal of form. but such was
not the case. ALI the long shots made
were stopped or turned aside. the score
being all made at close range.
Cowie, who had been away from the
city temporarily, jumped into the game
with as much vim and energy as though
he had been practicing every evening.
Cowie is a natural athlete. He uses
neither tobacco nor stimulants in any
form and should hold priminent place
on the lacrosse field for many years to
come.
Lacrosse teams are now located I'm
Duluth. Houghton Ishpeming, Marquette
Chicago and ST. Paul. Why wouldn't II
be good idea for representatives of the
above teams to get together before the
beginning of next season and arrange a
schedule of home and home matches in
which each team would meet each of the
other teams at least twice during the
season.
In cities such as Duluth, st. Paul. Chi
cago. where the baseball grounds are
used the dates would have to be set sc
as not to interfere with the baseball
schedules. This season between May ]
and Oct. there is ten open Sundays I'm
st. Paul. The situation is about the
same in the other two cities mentioned.
Some such arrangement would go far to-
wards fostering the game in the North
west, as the interest would be kept up
from beginning to end of the sea son.
