MAKES REPLY
Statement Concerning the
Game With the Virginia
Team.
A LETTER FROM THE UMPIRE
He Declares That No Underlland
Methods Were Used and MI
Was Fair.

Editor of The Times Dispatch:
sir,-The Athletic Council Of the Vir-
gina polytechnic Institute desire to
mako the following statement In answer
to an article in your issue of November
9Th. The article In question is headed,
Virginia was Fairly Beaten" and COLI
tains II statement from a member Of the
advisory board OF the University Alta
letic Association as to their attitude to-
wards players on our team whom they
protested. This statement is somewhat
misleading and inaccurate, as we shall
attempt to show.
Our reply will OF necessity require a
brief review OF the case prior to the
filing of Virgipn's protest III January.
1905, When our management first APP
preached Virginia for game both V.
=. I. and Virginia claimed membership
in the Virginia Intercollegiate Athletic
Association. MI association which rcgu-
iates all athletic contests between its
members, passing on nll points OF eligi-
bllty OF players, etc. The Virginia man
agcmcnt declined ut this time to enter
into any definite agreement for the game
preferring Ia woit5,ntil after the annual
meeting OF tho said association, which
was to be held hi charlottesville Feb
aruary 18th. at this meeting after an In
erfectunl nttempt through her reprcscn-
.tatve to amend the constitution. he an
nonnced that Virginh proposed to with
draw her membership from the said as
ISOLATION. The association regrctting
.vlrginin's attitude. passed a resolution
urging them to reconsider but without
results IT Is but fair to add that the
objectionable amendments to the con-
stitutton offered bv Virginia were de-
3featcd nv the untirlng efforts, of v. p. L.
Representatives G

After this meeting negotiations for Il
game were renewed by our MANAGEMENT,
and after some correspondence the pres
llminary ARRANGEMENTS We're agreed to-.
and at our request Virginia's manage
ment submitted a contract to meettthe
requirements for this contest. Our man
neemcnt not having been officially mott

being able to ascertain the facts from
the officers OF the association. and wish.

general himself agreed that only his re-
liroment would appease the popular
wrath.
Fear of the Emperor.
THE final obstacle was the emperor,
who had come to believe that Trcpof1
alone was able to safeguard the life OF
himself and family, but his majesty at
last yielded on the condition that Ire
poff should become commnndaht OF the
palace, succeeding the late Lieutenant
General Hesse, where his sole duty will
be TO take measures to protect the life
Of the emperor. The position OF Gov
crnor-Geretal Of st. Petersburg ends
with Trcpoft.s retirement but the place
of commander OF the imperial guards
has been assumed by the Grand Duke
Nicholas. =.
The series Of consultations which Count
Witte has been holding convinced him
that it was useless to hold out longer
~ he was to continue seeking to secure
the sympathy of the parties OF the cen
ire. He. therefore, practically prom
ised an Immediate extension Of the suf-
frage to include all classes Of the popu
.lation. The suffrage in tho cities viii

direct through single set Of electors.
Even upon these conditions, however, the
constitutional democrats finally lato last
night decided definitely not to hold office
III the present ministry. They take the
high position that the ministryis only
temporary, lasting until the national as
sem bly, or constituency meets, and they
refuse to accept office unless it is de-
lmonstrated that they have the support
Of majority.

GREAT INTEREST BEING TAKEN
IN THE BATTLE BETWEEN
TWO FIGHTERS.
Every Seat in Pavilion Has Been Sold
Britt Is Favorite in the
Betting.

SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 4.-Practi-
cally all of the seats for the Britt
Nelson fight have been sold. 1t is said
that the management could have sold
at least 5000 more tickets, but as the
arena Is now in course Of construc-
ton it will be physical impossibility
to enlarge the seating capacity.
Nelson today exercised mostly in
the open air with boxing as his chief
work. He seems disturbed over the
fact that he is not an even choice IN
the betting, but the followers of the
ring declare that Britt is logically the
favorite. Britt did not depart from
his customary training today, and
went through his regulation exer-
cises with his trainers.

ESCAPED CONVICT MANAGES TO
ELUDE POSSES WHO HUNT
HIM.
Believed That He Is Heading for Some
Stock Country-Two Guards Still
on His Trail.

Bert Taylor, the convict who es-
capped from the penitentiary Friday
night, is still at liberty, and with the
exception of two guards who are still
working on clues, the posse in search
Of the convict has been called in.
During the past two days nearly a
dozen clews were run down, but with
the result that none of them proved
authentic. The prison officials now
believe that Taylor Is heading for
some remote stock country, possibly
the John Day or Willowa country,
where there would be little chance
Of his ever being retaken.
Mountain roads leading out of the
valley have been closely guarded, but
there are hundreds Of trails that Tay-
lor could use and the probabilities
are that he is now we'll over the
mountains, safe from pursuit.
A stranger answering Taylor's de-
scription was seen near the Toll Gate
Saturday evening heading for the
Elgin country. Another rumor was
that the convict was seen near Wal
lula and still another that he was
heading across Snake 'rives into
Franklin county.
These clues were all traced down
without result. Taylor has been a
cowboy all his life and the SUPPOSE
ton is that he will take up his old
business in some remote district.

PETITION is DENIED.
o. r. e. N. Again Fails to Have Una
tiIIa County Board Reduce Its As
easement.

In face of being turned down by all
the courts in the state, the o. r. &
N. again petitioned the county court
of Umatilla county to lower it's as
sessment from $4,000 mile to $500.
And again the county authorities have
denied the request.
Saturday, J. w. Morrow, tax agent
of the o. r. & N, appeared before
the board of equalization and argued
the matter at length with County AS
SCISSOR C. P. Strain. All the points
which had previously been brought
forth by the road for reduction of
the taxes in this county were again
tnreshed out, but to no purpose. The
board remained firm and said that the
assessment of $4,000 per mile must
stand. The petitioner declared that
the assessment was excessive, ex-
orbitant and out of proportion to
other assessments generally.

EN- ROUTE TO PORTLAND FAIR
EXPRESS MESSENGERS CAP
BEEN SENT ALL OVER THE
UNITED STATES.
Started at Salisbury, N. c., Several
Weeks Ago, It Reached WslIa
WaIIa Today.

There was received at the Office
of the Northern Pacific Express COM
pany an old cap that had been used
by an express messenger in the east,
which was destined for the Lewis and
Clark fair at Portland. The cap is
covered with tags which had been
attached to it by the different express
agents and messengers through whose
hands the cap had passed since 1t
left Salisbury, North Carolina. On
each tag, there being about 100 of
them, was different humorous and
quaint sayings and in some instances
there were small stickers advertising
the towns and cities through which
the cap had passed. When J. P.
Goodhue, the local agent Of the North
ern Pacific express company, received
the cap this morning, he added a tag
upon which he inscribed the following
message:
In early days when 1 was new,
carried the express from Portland
through.
But now I am old and without cent,
To the fair at Portland by the boys
I'm sent"
The cap will be forwarded tonight
to Seattle, and from there it will go
to Tacoma and then be carried on
to Portland for the fair.
After leaving Salisbury the cap
went to Boston, from there to Wash
ington City, thence to New York,
whence it was started on it's journey
to the west. It mas passed through
nearly every office of importance
from New York to Walla Walla and
bears the tags of the Southern, Adams,
Wells Fargo, National, Pacific and
Northern Pacific express companies.
After the cap has reached it's des-
tination it is to be returned to its
original owner at Salisbury, going
through California and then through
Texas and the Southern States.
