Gleason. On Gleason's suggestiop, the signing of the articles was postponed until tomorrow at Il o'clock. when lawyers will clinch the last technicali- ties.
 General sympathy was expressed for McCarey. He risked his rather delicate health by a cross continent trip in the expectation of getting the fight. Rick ard assured him, as sop to his cha grin, that special ringside box would be built for-him and his friends.
 Largest Purse Ever Offered.
 The guaranteed purse for this fight is the largest ever offered, but sporting men believe the moving pictures will net even more. An indication of the value of the latter is the fact that Houseman, who had the Illinois rights to the Corbett -F'itzsimmons pictures, and paid S104,000 to Dan Stuart as the promoters percentage for them, real ized handsomely on his investment Houseman is now the principal bidder for the rights for this coming fight.
 John L. Did Not Appear
 John L. Sullivan was mentioned in the gossip today as possible referee, but was not seen at headquarters.
 John l.. has been on the water wagon so long" volunteer explained, that he will not permit himself to be tempted. For that reason he has not been around"
 No one believes that Sullivan will be selected as referee. His age and bulk are his only handicaps, but they are sufficient. The referee may be chosen tomorrow. when the final articles are signed, but 1t is considered likely that Jeffries, Johnson and the promoters, all of whom have an equal voice, will take time and thought before selecting so important an official.
 Where is California?
 San Francisco, Dec. 2.-The laws of California permit finish fights, but con- tests within the city limits are so reg ulated by the municipal authorities that only twenty round exhibitions can be given.
 There Is a belief, however, that ow- ing to the magnitude of such an at- traction as heavyweight champion ship fight pressure may be brought by the Rickard- Gleason combination upon the incoming administration to waive all restrictions and grant permission to the promoters to hold an unlimited contest in San Francisco proper.
 In such an event it Is generally un- derstood the baseball park of the Pa cific coast league will be the scene of the fight, because the grounds are con- troiled by John J. Gleason.
 On the other hand, there is an under current of opinion that an alliance has been effected with James J. Coffroth, in which case it Is almost a certainty that the fight will be taken to Coffroth's arena.
 Here unlimited contests are permit ted without molestation. but the arena would have to be enlarged.

Philadelphia, Dec. 2.-It was an- nounced last night that the University of Pennsylvania would surely meet Michigan on the gridiron next fall l. was rumored lately that Penn would drop the game with the Wolverines next year, but in contradiction to this comes the report that another two-y year agreement will be offered to the west erners by the Quakers.
 The red and blue eleven has met Michigan four times and were only beaten in the game this season. Coach Yost, who is to coach the Wolverines again next year. will be glad to have another chance at the Quakers as he is anxious to try conclusions with them again.

I-cAyADA. AND THE MONROE DOCTRINE.

\
We must frankly profess ourselves to be
pleased at having Canadas active support Of
the Monroe Doctrine suggested by a Canadian
rather than by an. American statesman. That is
not because of any lack OF sympathy with the
suggestion or any unwilllngness TO be
ciated with responsibility for 1t, but simply be-
cause former experience with Canadian sus-
capabilities indicates that II will be far more
kindly received by Canadians from one Of
themselves than from any this side OF
the border. Such sensitiveness is not unnatural
nor even undesirable. It would doubtless be
manifested by Americans just as much as by
Canadians, should cause for ii be given. This
country has done many things on its own In
itiative without hesitation or demur which II
would have refused resentfully TO do at the
instance of any other land II an American
had asked Canada 10 give adherence to the
Monroe Doctrine, he might have been regarded
either betraying an American sense of
weakness or as seeking to make the Dominion
q mere tail 10 the American kite though
neither estimate would have been correct. Com
ing from Canadian, precisely the same pro-
posal is divested of offence and is invested with
much additional force.
From the historical point Of view there is
doubtless much reason for Mr.. Ewarts recon-
mendation which he made 10 the Canadian Club
al Ottawa the other night The Monroe Doc
/ trine was not aimed against England any of
her colonies, but against power or a combIa-
ton of powers TO which England was antaeo-
nistic Whether its original inception is to be
credited TO Canning or TO Adams. the fact of
record is that what we may call the prelude to
the Doctrine was addressed TO Russia to check
her intended conquest of Oregon and CaIifor-
MIA. and that the Doctrine itself had reference
10 that Holy Alliance Of which Russia was the
head and TO which England was earnestly op-
posed. Nor is the subsequent history of the
Doctrine inconsistent with Canadian support.
/ II is true that OR two or three notable occa-
sons it has brought us into diplomatic con-
troyersies with Great Britain. But neither that
country nor any of its possessions has ever had
occasion 10 complain of any breach of cur
promise. with the existing colonies or de-
''pendencies of any European power we have
not interfered. and shall not Interfere" though
perhaps we could not say so much concerning
one or two others.
Logically, too. the Doctrine is entitled to
Canadian support for the reason that II pro-
vides, if not in its direct and explicit terms at
least in its practical developments and app-
cations. for the protection OF Canada just the
same as of any Of the southern republics. Prac-
tically. the Monroe Doctrine is-despite Mr.
Olney's extraordinary attempt to rescind it
In 1899 guarantee of Canada against alien
oppression Jnd a guarantee of Great Britain

ALIEN RIGHTS N CUB4.

The question Of prohibiting the acquisition Of
real estate in Cuba by non-citizens of that coun-
try is partly one Of law and partly one Of eX-
pediency. II Is an established principle OF inter
national law. upon which The United States has
insisted. that every state has the right 10 regu-
late the conditions upon which property within
tts territory. whether real or personal. shall be
held and transmitted. The United States itself
prohibits the acquisition or holding of land in
the federal district or territories by aliens
alien corporations Among the individual states
the laws vary. Thus. in Alabama aliens are
permitted 10 purchase inherit and hold land,
the same IS citizens. while IN Illinois ncn resi-
dent aliens. at any rate, cannot acquire or hold
lands ana heirs Of aliens who acquired lands
previous TO the enactment of the prohibitory
law were compelled 10 dispose of them within a
certain time and IN Kansas no alien. resident or
Nonresident, can own band. The constitution of
Texas when adopted provided that aliens should
Dot mold land. and those actually owning land
there 1T that date were required 10 dispose of il
within certain tiIae. IN Kentucky a law forbid
ding alien ownership enacted, but il was
held that il did NOT operate retroactively as
10 unsettle existing titles.
The technical right of Cuba to adopt such
law would thus seem TO have much support. To
what extent the law could be retroactive. or
could compel aliens owning land 10 dispose
Of it is 4 pertinent and serious question. OBJ
viGusly in existing conditions in CUba. 10 com
pei aliens TO dis0se OF their lands ana 70 forbid
she sale Of them 70 any bur Cuban citizens might
be practically tantamouHT Il confiscation, and
IN that case the United States might have
ground for more than mere remonStrances since
under the Plat amendment TO the Cuban CON
stitution this country is invested with the right
'-to intervene for the protection Of prop
eriy,r aisG thar might wen be interpreted to
mean protection Of property against coHfiscation

.bo+ S+st,,s Is agreeable TO them both and is
void of menace TO u.s. Our course concerning
Cuba convincingly suggests that Inc poIc!
first enunciated by Adams in 1873 ana sec

formulated by Clay, in Adams'S Cabinet two

logical fruition in 1910, when this country

OF that island against any other power even a.

therefore. of either the existing state Of af-
fairs or of that which is possible, though not
particularly probable, at some future time, II
would be quite logical and appropriate for
Canada to follow the example of her Mother
Country eighty-f1ve years ago in giving ap-
proval and support to the Monroe Doctrine.
