American VS.. English Foot Ball.

AIlcTlCdu Vs. Eng liSu Z OoL DILL
From the London Globe.
If anybody who is a devotee of Rugby
foot ball as played in Great Britain reads
the letter of Edward Breck to a daily paper
on the subject of American foot ball he will
probably be violently irritated. The writer
of the letter has a high opinion OF the game
which the states call foot ball: indeed, he
considers 1t the one scientific form OF the
sport. America, he says. never takes up a
game without improving it, and she has
done this with regard to foot ball. There
are however. two opinions on this matter.
If Mr.. Brock considers that foot ball is i'm
proved by the elimination of the personal
equation and the encouragement of brute
force to such an extent that the players are
obliged to wear a hideous armor, we are not
with him. He points triumphantly to the
fact that what he calls the one scientifically
weak point Of the English game namely,
the method of putting the ball in play in
the scrummage, has been Improved" by
America. And the improvement is that the
half back is not impeded by the other side
in passing the ball out, and the forwards
do not push and heel to get the ball, which
is given to the side In whose possession IT
was when held or caught. 1t is typically
American to think this an Improvement.
The great charm Of English foot ball is to
watch clever forwards heeling and the half
back opening UP the game before his man
can get round to tackle him.

CALLS 1T ASSASSINATION
"ocne1ort So Declares Death Of Syve-
ton, French Deputy.

A'0~0eAo1s 0o declares Death or SyVe-
ton, French Deputy.
Tell the American people, from me, that
Gapriel Syveton was assassinated," de-
clared Henri Rochefort in Paris yesterday
to New York World correspondent.
He was certain Of acqufttal, so they
found way to kill him. Syveton break
tasted with his wife and several friends.
and arose from the table at 2 o'clock. He
was found dead in his study soon after 8
o'clock. The chimney of his gas stove had
been choked with copy Of my newspaper.
Incontestabie proofs will show that 1t was
cowardly assassination, and you can
quote Henri Rochefort as saying so.'
The trreconcilable one" calls a murder
the death of Syveton, the nationalist
deputy found dead yesterday In the study
OF his house at Neuilly, asphyxiated by gas.
Syveton made sensational attack on
chamber of deputies on November 4. after
an exciting debate. in which the nationalist
accused Andre of maintaining spies who
furnished to him secret information con-
corning the private life of officers of the
army Syveton struck Andre in the face.
and In order to save the Combes ministry
Andre resigned the portfolio of war on No
vember ID.
The dramatic circumstances Of Syyeton's
death have caused the profoundest sensa-
ton. His trial was to have begun this
week on the charge of assaulti,g a min
lister In the exercise Of his functions. But
he would have been tried in the assizes by
jury and that is all his friends desired.
Many of them are inclined to presume that
Syveton was assassinated. On the other
hand, 1t Is widely believed that Syveton
gave way under nervous strain
Gabriel Syyeton was born In Boensur-
Lignon February q, 1864. He was a pro
lessor at the University of Lyons but with
Lemaitre and Cope he became so bitter
an anti-Dreyfusite that he was expelled
from that position.
He was elected for the first time to the
chamber Of deputies from the second dis
trict of the Seine in April, 1902 defeating
Mesureur, the retiring deputy. with whom
Syveton subsequently sought to fight duel
In December, 1902, Syveton created a dis
turbance in the chamber of deputies and
was escorted out by the military guard
amid cheers and groans. Syveton had ap-
preached Minister of Justice Vale as If to
strike him, and afterward challenged the
minister to duel. Syveton called the min
lister "a iar. Vale retorted with wretch"
The trouble grew out of a discussion of
the Humbert affair, which can be better
appreciated here since the methods of Mrs
Chadwick are known. The seconds chosen
arranged affairs by arbitration.
Syveton was arrested for striking Andre
on November 10 just as he was taking his
position to fight Captain Gail, an intimate
of Andre, who was supposed to represent
him. Each was to have two shots with
pistols. Andres son represented his father
In another duel-harmlesS. Syveton was
prominent member of the Patriotic League
Of France.

No Republican Contest in Maryland.

1t has been settled that there will be no
contest made by the republicans for the
electoral vote of Maryland. This Is partly
due to the fact that there is no machinery
with which to make such a contest and
partly for the reason that Roosevelt and
Fairbanks will have so many votes that
those OF Maryland would be entirely un-
necessary. Within a few days Chairman
Hanna will issue a statement.

The discovery was made while treating a
