Navy and Department Chiefs, With

When Game Began. a.

Philadelphia, Nov. 2S.-With the
eyes Of more than $4,000 persons upon
them, under ideal weather conditions.
the fighting foot ball teams of West
Point and Annapolis academies bat
tied for supremacy this afternoon in
the annual contest on Franklin field.
Because of the experience of the
men, their greater weight and good
showing in the comparative scores,
the navy was the favorite in the pre-
dictions on the outcome of the game.
But, curiously enough only twice since
these teams have met on the foot ball
field has the favorite team Won. In
making wagers. According to the
coaches Of the two elevens, the men
were in perfect condition.
The army followers occupied the
South street and Midfield box, which
was used oy President Roosevelts
family. Next to this enclosure was
Secretary of War Wright and party,
and close by Generals ]. Franklin Bell
and Fred D. Grant and other officers.
Assistant Secretary Of the Navy New
berry and family were the central fig
ures on the navy side and they were
surrounded by "a large contingent OF
naval officers from all parts Of the
country.
The navy won the toss and selected
the west goal, with slight wind in
their favor. At 2:02 West Point kicked
off to the navy's twenty-yard line.
Army Scores Early.
On the second play the navy
fumbled and Grsble, of the army, Sc
cured the ball in midfield and carried
it to the navy's three yard line and on
two plunges into the line Dean car
Dean kicked goal Score, army s.
navy 0.
Langs of the navy, from the army's
fifteen yard line, sent t.he ball direct
ly between the goal pt SITS on a place
ment kick. Score, Army s, navy 4,
which was the score when the first
half ended.
Seldom have Two foot ball teams
been so evenly matched as the army
and navy. In the first half the navy
had q slight advantage In line buck
ing, also in kicking, but their disas-
trous tumble gave the army their only |
opportunity of scoring a touchdown
At no other time was the navy's goal
in serious danger. For the last five
of the half there was no at
tempt made by either side to advance
the ball except ON kicking.
Finals-Army, 6; navy, 4.

the mines in a. state of frenzy. The
Mariana was built recently by the

Official Count a Tie.

Ft. Dodge, Nov. 2s.-The official
count of the ballots in the last election
for supervisor in the Fifth district Of
this county has just brought to light a
tie vote. 1t was known at the first
counting that the vote was close but it
was thought that the official count
would settle the matter. On account
of the closeness of the vote each can
didate was represented by an attor'
ney. The count developed the fact
that Frank Cochran and c. e. Ander-
son each received SAT votes. BY a vote
of two to one it was held that there
had been no election and C. e. Ander-
son, the present incumbent, would con-
tinue in office for another term. 1t is
rumored, however, that Mr. Cochran. the
defeated candidate under this verdict,
will take the matter to the district
court on a writ of certiorari.

| Paris, Nov. 2S.-The Steinheil case
continued to be the sensation Of tlta

to say where the revelations will end.
The political side looms larger and
larger every day, and interest harks
back always to the tragic death in
Paris in 1899 of Felix Faure, presider
of France.
| Faure died in the midst of the Drey-
fus excitement The most minute de-
tails of the scene in the room where he
expired, in the company of Madame
Steinheil. are today fagrantly putt
lished by even republican newspapers.
Up to the present time this incider
in the career Of Madame Steinheil has
only been referred to covertly. The
royalist and anti-Dreyfus organs ala
demanding an official investigation
into the death Of Faure and intimate
openly that Faure, as an insuperable
obstacle to the leaders Of the Dreyfus
agitation, was the victim Of plot

did not die natural death is found IN
the fact that his body decompose
with unusual rapidity, and to offset

certified that he died Of cerebaI
hemorrhage.
The other story, that Madame Stein.
he'll was present when he passed away,
seems unfortunately to be true, and
great regret is expressed that circum..
stances have now compelled disclosure,
to the world Of this old scandal, which
the Faure family and friends Thoughts
buried with Faure's body.
The prevailing belief in Paris today
