Washington, Nov. 29.-When tn.
Sixtieth congress convenes in Wash
ihgton three days hence the familiar
figure of Uncle Joe" Cannon will be
seen in its accustomed place in the
speakers chair. No one has dared
contest for the honor and Uncle
Joe" will resume his place without
the semblance of a struggle.
As a matter of fact, there has not
beert a contest for the speakership
since the convening of the Fifty
second congress in December, 1891.
In the Fifty-second congress there
was a struggle for supremacy be-
tween five Republicans, but Thomas
B. Reed was chosen or the second
ballot. The other candidates were
william Mckinley. of Ohio. Joseph
G. Cannon. of Illinois, julius Bur-
rows Of Michigan and David B. Hen
derson, of Iowa. Both Henderson
ard Cannon subsequently achieved
the coveted honor.
That was the last contest in the
Republican party for the speakership
although seven Republican congress
es have been elected since that time.
The contest for speaker in the Demo-
cratic causcus in 1891, however, was
the most hotly waged battle of its
kind known since the long drawn
out contest before the civil war.
Roger @. Mills of Texas and Charles
f. Crisp OF Georgia were the favor
ties in the race. although William s.
Holman of Indiana and William s.
Springer of Illinois "also ran" The
last two names never had a chance
of finishing ''in the money! how
ever, and they finally gave their in
fluence to Crisp, who secured the
post. Holman was rewarded with
the chairmanship of the appropria-
tions committee, while Springer was
made chairman of the way and means
committee of the House. Two years
later Crisp was again chosen without
opposition.
When the Fifty-fourth congress
met the Republicans were again in
control and have since held the bal
ance of power without interruption.

ship without opposition when the
Fifty-rfnth congress met, and again
this process is to be repeated APP
parently "Uncle Joe" has life
tenure on the speakership, uniess
the Republicans should lose their
majority in the House or the Illinois
congressman should attain his clev-
erly-concealed ambition to occupy a
station considerably higher than even
the speakership of the House of Rep
resentatiVes-
The House machinery consists of
siNty-two committees. Speaker Can
non will follow precedent and build
up the committees around the
skeletons of the committees that
served in the Fifty-ninth congress.
As the result of the last congression-
al election the House lost thirteen
of its chalrmen, but these, with the
exception of the committees OIL agri-
culture and merchant marine and
fisheries. were of little Importance.

coed James w. Wadsworth of New
York as chairman of the agricultural
committee.

THE BIG EXPOSITION
WILL CLOSE
TOMORROW
Especial to The Daily sontinel)

ApptClal TO Ine Dally Sontlnel.D
Norfolk, Va, Nov. 29.-With a
final blaze of glory the jamestown
exposition will come to close to-
morrow The gates will swing shut
at midnight tomorrow hight, the
lights will go out and the jamestown
ter-centennial will pass into history
Ii is rumored that Immediately after
its closing the exposition company
will go into the hands of a receiver.
ofilcials of the company declare that
the assets exceed the liabilities and
that all creditors-the government
being the largest-will be paid in
full. While the exposition has been,
TO some extent. a social, educational
and patriotic success. it has been a
dismal failure financially. While
the people of Norfolk have been
proud of their big fair, most of them
are glad that it is over and that they
can now return to their former mode
of life. Norfolk is more than n lit
tie weary of being on dress parade.
Tomorrow viii be observed as
closing day, with carnival of fun
as the feature. 1t had been at first
suggested that the day be celebrated
as Tucker-Martin day, in honor of
the president and director general of
the exposition, following the Gus.
tom of previous expositions. The
proposed honor was declined by the
officials.

Big Eastern College Elevens
To Begin Practice This Week.

With the preliminary practice of most
of the big elcvcnS in the East starting
this week, the football season of 1907
will begin the annual wecding-out pro
cess nee "ssary to the development of
the teams of the year. Slight changes
in the rules leave tho game practically
the same as ii was last season, when
tn" reformed football fought its way
to favor IN the eyes of the football pub
lie. New plays based on the forward
pass and onside kick innovations of
last year may be expected. The game
will undoubtedly be even more open
and from the standpoint Of the onlook-
erS even more spectacular.
As far AS the players themselves are
concerned. last year proved the "new"
game much less strenuous and wearing
and less likely to result in serious i'll
juries than old football.
The forward pass, the great feature
of last years game, is this year given
freer rein. A change in the penalty for
an illegal pass from loss of the ball to
Il loss of Il yards will give the new
play broader scope. and on the first
and second downs will be used much
more than it was last season. Last
year many of the big teams discarded
plays based on the forward pass as too
dangerous to use in the big games.
Yale especially had plays which, used
in the earlier season. never came to
light again. owing chiefly to the PEN
atty attached to the slightest fuke.
Harvard. also. it may be inferred from
her game at the cnGsof the year. feared
the results of a mistake in the pass and
did not use plays which might have
helped.
Few teams developed the onside kick
to perfection and few even began to
grasp the significance of its value as

FOUR SYND|CATES
Are Formed In New York
to Build Cup Defenders.
Lipton 10 Build Several Yachts
and Select a Challenger.
Herreschoff Already Has Plans
Drawn For Defender.

New York. Sept. 15.-Sir Thomas
Lipton's challenge for the American
cup was the only subject of conversa-
ton among yachtsmen in New York to-
day. Although the formal challenge Will
not be received here for several
days, members of the New York Yacht
Club have known for some weeks that
it was to be made and have already
made plans for the defence of the cup.
1t is understood among members OF
the club that Sir Thomas Upton will
add a number of conditions to his chal-
lenge, including that the race shall be
sailed under the new measurement rule
adopted by the New York Yacht Club.
Under this rule. which requires more
seawOrthy models, the challenging
yacht would have a much better chance
of lifting the cup and the race would
be in all respects fairer. the deed
of gift of the cup provides that the
challenging watch must cross the ocean
for the competition.
1t is also said that Sir Thomas will
ask the privilege of nominating two
yachts. the races to be sailed with the
one that proves the best in the pre-
liminary trials.
Plans are already well under way
locking to the building of yachts to de-
fcnd the cup. Four Syndicates have
been formed in the New York Yacht
Club. it is said. to build yachts. and il
is believed by the club members that
at least six yachts will take part in the
elimination trials for the selection of the
defender

BACK IN THE EAST,
Young Corbett Is Back in New York,
Looking for Fights.

Young Corbett has arrived in New
York. looking the picture Of health and
strength after his long trip out West.
AS the smiling eX-champion greeted
his friends he looked more like the
Corbett who conquered Terry Nc
Govern than he has since he met Bat
thing Nelson.
COrbett placed himself under the
wing of Joe HUMPHREYS. who managed
Terry McGovern and announced that
he is anxious to fight.

he, and this. time | mean it. The
trip out West did me a world of good

but there was nothing doing in the
way of purses. so l decided to come
back to New York, and see if Joe
couldn't arrange a match with me.
II want to get another chance at Tom

every day and am now much faster than
l was when met him in Philadelphia. I
know that most people believe that am

the public that there are a few good

HUMPHREYS has already received several
offers of fights for Corbett. Johnny Tor
rio, manager of the Sheepshead A. C..
which opens on April 10, said he would
like to have Corbett fight Kid Singer Of
Philadelphia before his club on that
night. HUMPHREYS is waiting to hear from
Rert Crowhurst, manager of Spike Fob
son, and Jack McGuiGan Of the National
a. c. of Philadelphia, before accepting
the offer. Corbett also wants to fight

that he will have to start from the bot
