It is doubtful is there is as much In-
terest either in Jacksonville or
Charleston in the game of football to
be played between teams from these
two cities to-day as there is in Sa
vannah. Were the game to be played
here it is a conservative claim that the
attendance would be even larger than
that at Jacksonville this afternoon.
A party of about thirty Savannah
ians, including Capt. Harris Cope of
the Savannah team. Manager Frank
Mclntire, Charley Mitchell, Lansberg
and Rossiter of the Savannah team
left this morning at 5:40 over the Sea
board for Jacksonville to witness the
game.
The Charleston team passed through
Savannah yesterday morning, a num
ber of the Charleston rooters stopping
off here to continue their journey last
night. According to line ups furnished
the Morning News by Manager Sum
ter of the Charleston team and Mana
ger Tom Dozier of the Jacksonville
eleven, the two teams will face each
other In the following positions this
afternoon:
Charleston. Position. Jacksonville.
Frazee R. E Dodge
Smith ...R. T Jones
Sapp R. o Walters
Garrison Center Frazee
Chaney L. G Townsend
Sullivan L. T Kirby Smith
Ancruni L. E Ferris
Cunter L. H H. Yancy
Sumter R. H Chappell
Hanvy F. B W. Yancy
Tutwiler ...Q. B Kennedy
Jay* About the No me.
With the exception of one man the
Jacksonville team will be the same as
when it lined up against Savannah
Thanksgiving. Kirby Smith will be
the new man at tackle.
With the teams lining up In this
wise, it is about an even bet as to the
winner. The Jay barktield is heavier
and more aggressive. In punting,
Worth Fancy is easily the peer of Tut
wHer or Smith.
With the heavy backfleld Jackson
ville's defensive game with such In
dividual stars as the two Yancys, Kir
by Smith and Jones, should be stronger,
despite the giant artillerymen from
Fort Moultrie, who are playing on the
Charleston line. Garrison, Charleston’s
center, is the 1903 Clemson center, hut
Frazee's 240 pounds will be a task for
this great forward.
Jays* Back Held Faster.
As Charleston’s backfleld Is not as
fast as Jacksonville's, and necessarily
Charleston's play is against the line,
where Jacksonville is so strong In de
fense, it would not be surprising if
tilt.* Jays held the Gulls from scoring
altogether.
If Jones displays the same form that
he exhibited in the few minutes he
played In the last half in Savannah,
he and Kirby Smith will easily take
care of the tackle positions against
Sullivan and Std Smith. Kirby Smith
is only second to the great Phillips
as a pounding ground gainer, and Is
possessed of all the wiles of a fox.
The strength of the Charleston team
is in the line, while Jacksonville has
two offenses and ttvo defensive line®.
In weight the Jays will have about
three pounds the best of It.
Inuoj Boys Are Tireless.
The length of halves to be played
have not yet been determined. Jack
sonville demonstrated here Thanksgiv
ing that their backs are tireless, es
pecially the two Yancys, and the for
ward played as aggressively at the
end of the second twenty-five minute
half as at the commencement of the
first.
After analyzing Charleston’s victor
ies so far this season they are not so
marvelous. The ulleged Furman Uni
versity team developed to be a team
of scrubs from Greenville. With the
exception of the game against the Fort
Screven team, Charleston has not
shown such wonderful offensive
strength. The Carolina game was won
o*i a fluke, the collegians being out
weighed over twelve pounds to the
man.
Whatever may be the result of the
game, Jacksonville now foots up a
Shade the strongest.
GEORGE C. BENNETT
WILL SELL STABLES.
Memphis, Tenn., Dee. 2.—A local
paper published the following:
"George C. Bennc , w hose xalom
are familiar on every race track in
the West and South, has decided
to retire from the turf temporarily.
He will sell his entire stable at once.
"Mr. Bennett received a telegram
from M. J. Shannon, his trainer, who

offered ids resignation. This Mr. Ben
nett accepted, and his horses will be
disposed of at public auction at once."
RACES AT BENNING.
Washington, Dec. 2.—The talent
twas badly disappointed at to-day’s

LEANS FELL HEAVILY
BEFORE THE FATS.
In the presence of a large crowd at
the Y. M. C. A. gymnasium last
night, the Beans lowered their flaunt
ing penrfant to the mighty Fats. The
fierce onslaughts of the Fats proved
too much for the lanky boys, and 17
to 14 tells the sad story.
11l the early stage of the game it ap
peared that the boys of great avoirdu
pois would have a regular (take walk,
but in the fifth inning the Beans don
ned their hatting clothes and placed
i a few in the gallery. This had a very
| sobering effect on the Fats, and from
then on it was any one’s game.
I The feature of the game was the
heavy batting of Harden. Although at
the bat only five times, he rapped the
lanky twirler. Smith, for three two
base hits and one single.
The line up was as follows:
Fats. Positions. Beans.
Harden Catch Kessell

FOOTBALL COLORSIFLOAT
AT IST. REGT. ARMORY.
For the last three years every time
the Savannah football team has played
a game the blue and white flag has
floated from the flag st’aft of the First
Regiment Armory.
Sergt. F. E. O'Lynn, post quarter
master sergeant, sees to the matter
personally, and is proud of the fact
that though the colors are beginning
to show the effects of age and weather
there h'as never yet been the occa
sion to haul them down or half
mast them, as the token of defeat to
the team.
They will float at the top of the
staff, 120 feet from the ground, again
Christmas, while the Savannah eleven
battles with Charleston, and by noting
their position ‘at the end of the game
Savannah rooters will be able to toll
how the battle ends.

FINAL SESSION*
OF 58TH CONGRESS.
Continued from First Page.
are here, are that there will be neither
tariff legislation nor an extra session.
Reciprocity Talk.
Coupled with tariff legislation dis
cussion is the subject of reciprocity.
A number of proposed reciprocity treat
ies have been, and still are reposing in
the pigeon holes of the Senate. Dur
ing the‘coming three months there
may be some talk about these treaties,
but the indications are they will not
be seriously considered. So strong has
been the opposition to them that it has
never been considered Worth while to
report them from the Committee on
Foreign Relations to which they were
referred.
There was considerable talk during
the last session of Congress concern
ing tariff revision and the suggestion
was made by several prominent lead
ers that any revision that was neces
sary could be accomplished during the
short session of Congress, the idea be
ing tluit revision would be on the lines
of reduction and would meet with lit
tle or no opposition.
Opposition to Tnxntlon.
If more revenue Is needed and it is
found necessary to add some Internal
revenue taxes, opposition may be more
pronounced. Revenue legislation of
any kind is sure to create considerable
talk In the Senate, and that means de
lay. In fact, it has become known
that under present conditions legisla
tion during the short session Is enact-*
ed by practically unanimous consent.
Any half dozen senators who deter
mine to defeat a bill have the power to
do ro. with the privilege of unlimited
debate. In the House the stringent
Tides enable the majority to transact
all business it desires, and so far as
that body is concerned there is no
difficulty about any legislation that
may be attempted, but If the leaders
do not want tariff revision or change
in the revenue laws nothing will be
done.
Railroad* In the Philippine*.
The unfinished business in the Sen
ate is a bill passed by the House pro
viding for the construction of rail
roads in the Philippine Islands by a
guarantee of 5 per cent, income upon
the money invested in such roads. The
bill also provides for issuing Philip
pine bonds for other internal Improve
ments in the islands, and in several
other particulars amends the Philip
pine laws passed by Congress. The
bill met with a great deal of opposi
tion during the lust Congress, but Sen
ator Lodge, who has it In charge, says
that he will press it from the begin
ning of the session and hopes to se
cure its passage. The principal oppo
sition was to the provision which guar
anteed an Income to the railroads, and
little objection was made to other fea
tures of the bill. Another bill for the
Philippines, which has been urged by
Secretary Taft and the President, as
well as nearly every one interested in
the Philippines, provides for a material
reduction of the duty on sugar and
THE CURE OF WOMEN'S DISEASES
tDr. Hathaway, who Is well and favorably known to you
all. would like to see at his office, or have a letter front
ladies who are affiicted with any disease peculiar to their
sex. He would especially like to know of such as have
doctored with a family doctor for a long time, or who
have been constantly buying advertised remedies in drug
stores, without, of course, deriving anything more than a
temporary benefit, even If that.. To such as these Dr
Hathaway has a message that is cheering—a treatment
that Is perfectly curative. The doctor has as many pa
tients among women as among men, and he has for years
studied them Ip public and private hospitals and in hls
own practice, and from the success he is having in cur
ing their diseases he firmly believes that no woman can
make a mistake in confiding per case to him. There Is
no super-critical examination of the person, no lnter

tobacco, as well as other Philippine
products. In fact free entry of these
products has been recommended. The
sugar and tobacco interests were
strong enough in the past to defeat
any substantial reduction, and the law
now provides for a duty of 75 per cent,
of the Dingley rates. A demand for
a redaction to 25 per cent., has been
quite frequently presented to Con
gress.
The Statehood Measure.
Another measure which received the
sanction of the House last session, but
which has never been pushed in the
Senate, is the statehood measure which
provides for two states,doubing up the
territories of Oklahoma and Indian
Territory as one and Arizona and New
Mexico as another. This bill, like any
other which may encounter opposition
in the Senate, could be easily defeat
ed, and advocates of a separate state
hood for all the territories are likely
to pursue that course.
Should the House of Representative*
decide to Impeach Judge Charles Swayne
of the northern district of Florida the
business conditions of the Senate would
be complicated. After an investigation
a majority of the House Committee on
Judiciary in the last session recom
mended impeachment. Consideration
of the resolution was postponed until
Dec. 13, the beginning of the second
week of the short session. Meanwhile
the Judiciary Committee was instruct
ed to take further testimony, a task
it began two weeks ago. Present in
dications are that the House will not
authorize an impeachment, or if it
does the action will be taken so late
in the session that the real proceed
ings will go over until the next Con
gress. There are precedents for such
action In other impeachment cases that
have been before Congress.
'The Smoot Case,
It is somewhat doubtful if a vote
will be reached in the Senate in the
case of Senator Reed Smoot of Utah.
This case attracted a great deal of at
tention last session, when the Com
mittee on Privileges and Elections
summoned the heads of the Mormon
church to tell what had 'been going
on of a polygamous character in Utah,
and thousands of persons petitioned
daily to have Smoot ejected from the
Senate. A score or more of witnesses
are yet to be examined, and the de
fense has not even begun, so that It
is evident that before a report is made
t the Senate the session will be so
far spent that no serious attempt will
be made to reach a vote upon Senator
Smoot’s title. Some question has arisen
as to whether the case lapses with
the end of the present Congress. It
was the opinion of the late Senator
Hoar that the proceedings would end
with the Congress and an entire new
case would have to be commenced If
it was found desirable to continue the
case against Mr. Smoot.
T'he Merchant Murine.
The last session passed a bill pro
viding for a commission composed of
five senators and five representatives
to investigate and report a measure
for restoring the merchant marine of
the United States. The commission
was instructed to report on the first
day of the coming session, and it is
expected that this will be done. There
has been a great deal of anxiety
manifested by men of both political
parties to secure legislation of this
character and if any measure can be
agreed upon which will receive the
support of both parties it will no doubt
be speedily passed.
Some doubt exists among the mem
bers of both houses as to whether ad
ditional Chinese exclusion legislation is
necessary. It has been held that the
law would expire this month as it was
founded upon a treaty which also ex
pires. Anew treaty Is being negotiat
ed and an exclusion law to meet its
terms may be necessary. The people
of the Pacific coast have been insist
ing upon more rigid exclusion than
that known at the Platt law, and If
the question is brought up there will
be quite a lengthy debate.
Tlm- Immigration Question.
Senator Dillingham has reported
from the Committee on Immigration a
bill amending the immigration laws,
and it is his intention to push for its
consideration. The principal feature
of the bill is a provision for an agent
of the United States, accompanied by
a surgeon, to be stationed at ail im
portant European immigrant ports to
inspect aliens seeking admission to
the United States. It also provides
for a head tax of 12 an immigrant.
Three years ago when Congress as
sembled a flood of bills were presented
for the protection of the President,
and those in line of succession. Some
of these measures were reported and
even reached the stage of conference be
tween the two houses when the Fifty-*
seventh Congress expired. On the
Senate calendar is a notice given by
Senator Hoar last April that on Tues
day, Dec. 6, he would ask the Senate
to take up and consider a bill for the
protection of the President. Whether
or not some member of the Judiciary
Committee will push the measure now
that the Massachusetts Senator is dead
is not known. There is serious oppo
sition to the bill as it stands, and un
less it is materially modified it prob
ably could not pass.
Currency Legislation.
Currency legislation will be talked
about, but it probably will not be en
acted. The Aldrich bill, the Nelson
bill, the Fowler bill and the Hill bill,
as well as a number of others, are
pending before committees, but no one
has shown any particular desire to
have them passed. In fact one meas
ure is antagonistic to another and, with
no apparent danger to the finances of
the country, those who are not ex
perts in the matter of currency law
cannot be induced to push these meas
ures forward to the exclusion of other
business.
Reduced representation in Southern
states which have by one form or an
other, disfranchised negroes, will be a
theme of discussion, but not action,
during the winter. The Republican
national platform Is interpreted by
some of the more radical members of
the party to call for such reduction,
and they will go at the subject from
the beginning. It is well understood
that to bring about anything like a
reduced representation would require
much snore time than a three months’
session of Congress which expires by
limitation.
No doubt a number of bills to prohib
it or control campaign contributions
will be presented as that matter be
came an issue at the close of the re
cent campaign. Just how it can be
reached is yet to be ascertainel, as
there are so many ways in which a
law of this kind can be avoided.
The Trusts.
The trusts will receive attention, at
least in debate, although some doubt
is expressed about any effective legis
lation being passed. Following a cam
paign in which the trusts were made
a vital issue, it is natural to expect
that there must be a great deal of
talk on the subject whenever there is
an opportunity.
Interstate commerce legislation in
some form or another is alw’ays pend
ing in Congress and there may be an
effort to enlarge the powers of the
Interstate Commerce Commission, so as
to allow it to fix rates. Railroad in
terests have and will continue to op
pose this measure. Another pending
measure is to permit pooling, and this
is opposed by the shippers. With so
much contention there is little pros-

pert that anything will be done. A
bill to amend the law for the safety
of employes of railroads has been re
ported, and it is expected that It will
pass.
A bill which has agitated Congress
for a number of ydars providing for
eight hours work only, on all govern
ment contracts, no doubt will be re
ported from the Senate Committee on
Labor, which has given much time to
hearings. A bill of similar character
was lost in the last Congress by being
crowded out by other business. The
same fate may a Wait this measure
should it be reported from the com
mittee.
The Pure Food Rill.
Senator Hepburn, of Idaho, has given
notice that he will call up the pure
food bill during the first week of the
session, and the friends of the measure
hope to have it passed. But there is
strong opposition which will take ad
vantage of the Senate rules to attempt
to defeat the measure by delay.
A measure which created a great
deal of interest in the last session and
which no doubt will cause considerable
discussion if it comes up again, is a
bill providing for sevet'al large camp
sites in different sections of the coun
try, for the use of the regular army
and militia for drill purposes. The lo
calities most likely to get the Hites
if the bill becomes a law are energeti
cally pushing It to the front while dis
appointed rivals are opposing it.
A New Department tlntliling.
Senator Fairbanks, who has only
three months to serve as a senator be
fore he becomes Vice President, and
who, as chairman of the Committee
on Public Buildings and Grounds, has
endeavored to secure a bill providing
a building for the Departments of
States, Justice and Commerce and La
bor, will try to bring about favorable
action on the bill in the ninety days
he is to remain a national legislator.
There are other public building bills
pending, but it is not expected any
general omnibus bill will be pushed at
this session.
Irrigation has become a permanent
legislative topic. Interwoven closely
with the public land question It has
resulted In setting two house commit
tees by the ears and creating a wide
difference of opinion among senators
from Western states. Several meas
ures Intended as amendments to the
Irrigation law have been suggested and
are before Congress. If the Western
men were united they no doubt could
secure some legislation, but being di
vided It Is quite likely that nothing
Will be done.
The River and llnrbor Hill.
Two years ugn In the long session
of Congress a river und harbor appro

A number of bills for Alaska have
come over from the last session, the
most important being those providing
for a delegate from the territory and
for governmental aid in building roads.
Both met with serious opposition last
session, and there is no intimation that
there has been a change of sentiment
during the recess.
Bills to recognize the consular serv
ice have been reported to both houses,
but so far they have not been popu

in either body.

riders for claim bills, land legislation,
and in fact all kinds of measures that
would fare badly If left to themselves.
Among other bills of public interest
pending in the Senate or House are
the following: Providing for the trans
portation of naval and other stores in
American-built ships; for the protec
tion of forest reserves and the crea
tion of additional reserves; for the
payment of $200,000 to ex-Queen Ltl
uckalanl; to amend the act for the
suppression of lottery traffic; to make
liquor transported by interstate traffic
subject to the lews of the state where
it is sold.
One day' during the morning session
will bo devoted to counting the elec
toral vote cast for the President and
Vice President. The ballots of elec
tors of the different states are sent
to the president pro tempore of the
Senate, and on the second Wednesday
in February the Senate, with the forty
five ballot boxes, one from each state,
will proceed to the House, canvass the
vote and declare the result. It Is an
Interesting fact that although all ma
chinery Is provided for the election of
a president and vice president and
for the official canvass and declaration
of the vote, no provision is made for
officially notifying the men elected.
Both President Roosevelt and Senator
Fairbanks will have to take the pro
ceedings of the joint session of Con
gress as their notification of the result
of the recent election.
Two New Senator*.
Two senators are to take oath of
olfiee. Philander C. Knox, the success
or of Senator Quay from Pennsylvania
and W. Murray Crane, the successor
of Senator Hoar from Massachusetts,
both seats having been made vacant
by deuth since the last session. Two
chairmanships of committees may be
filled at the coming session. The Sen
ate never tilled the vacancy at the
head of the Interoeeanlc Canals Com
mittee after the death of Senator
Hanna and Senator Hoar's death leaves
a vacancy at the head of the Impor
tant Committee on the Judiciary. In
all probability Senator Platt of Con
necticut will be the acting chairman
of Judiciary, as Senator Platt of New
York has been the uctlng chairman of
the Canal f’ominlttee.
