lessly, and hope to be able to reflect
credit upon my administration and upon
the American Federation of Labor.
John Mcßride.
In regard to the work of tbe conven
tion, President Gompers said: "I tbink
tbe general work of tbe convention is
highly satisfactory and I regard the
outlook us equally so. The determina
tion of tbe federation to direct their
efforts to securing an eight hour day in
1896 will have a good effect. Personally
I feel relieved at the selection of a man
to succeed me in the arduous dutieß
of the presidency. John Mcßride
is st good man, and while
he will no doubt meet witb the usual
obstacles of a new official, the hearty
co'Operatlon that he will receive from
myself and other retiring officers will
tend to make his work as easy as possi
ble. I ask and shall continue to ask
every person who has been and is still
my personal or official friend to give Mr.
Moßride their undivided and unquali
fied support.

A ROUGH GAME AT BEST
THE EX-CAPTAINOK YALE'S ELEV
EN TALKS FOOTBALL.
Brutality or tha Play Depend* Upon
the, Individ stale Themselves.
Tha New Kulas ol
tha Gams.
New Haven, Conn., Deo, 17. —Frank
A. Hinckey, who has just retired from
the captaincy of the Yale football
eleven and has boen succeeded by S. B.
Thorne, '06, informally discussed foot
hall. He was asked to give bin sugges
tions on how to maks football less
rough and how to improve the game;
also, whether or not thin year's rules
made the game any the lens brutal or
dangerous.
"Now about making football less
rough, tho way I look at the game, as
has been said a good many timee, it is
naturally a rough, hard one. You can
not mako anything else out of it but a
rough game. Thoro should bo a limit
to tho roughness. What tho limit ll in
hard to decide. Tho way to get rid of
the unnecessary roughness r.nd foul tac
tics, and, I think, the main why, end
the best way, and the only way, to
eliminate it is that in coaching teams
the players should be taughc, and it
should he insisted upon, that all the
efforts should be directed to legitimate
football, and that they should restrain
their tempore.
"Tben, again, there are a few points
regarding the rulos that mr-nt be
changed a little, or at least insisted upon
stronger than they are, which will help
to eliminate the dissgrseable features of
tbe game. One ol them is in relation to
piling on a man when thrown.
"Then there*is onefeaturoof the gome
which is disagreeable to tbe spectators
and has the appearance of rough in it,
and that is the Interfering with the cen
ter while snapping the ball. The rule
this year says the center shall have 'fall
possession' of tbe ball and interference
with the ball by hia opponent shall be
penalized.
"With regard to whether this year's
rules made tho game any the leas brutal
or dangorous, in the first place, I con
sider ail tbe brutal play to be gotten rid
of depends on the individuals them
selves."

How Debate on the Anti-Revolutionary
Bill ty>i Choked OfT.
Berlin, Dec. 17.—Dr. Neiberling, im
perial secretary justice, introduced an
anti«revolutionary bill in the reichstag
today, Ho said it was not intended to
upset public opinion nor was it a dis
guised anti-Bocialictic law, but it was
directed against excesses of a criminal
nature and azainot the work of revolu
tionists seeking to undermiuo the state.
The secretary justice tben proceeded to
refer to several inflammatory pamphlets
which recently appeared.
Interruptions by socialiats were bo
frequent and of such a nature that the
president of the reichstag, Herr Yon
Levtzow, was compelled sevoral times to
call them to order. Dr. Neiberling then
produced a revolutionary broad sheet
which be asserted was iutsnded for cir
eolation in tbe barracks oi the soldiers.
He added : "The aim of our opponents
can only be obtained by overthrowing
all order, aod I trust a majority of the
honse will support the government
against this enemy which denies every
thing sacred to the people."
Herr Singer moved an adjournment of
the reichstag, expressing doubt whether
a sufficient number of deputies were
present to enable a vote to be taken.
After roll cell it was found that Herr
Singer's point was well taken. Conse
quently Herr Yon Levtzow, president of
the reichstag, adjourned tbe debate on
the anti-revolutionary bill until Janu
ary 8.

San Fkancisco, Deo. 17.—Attornoy
Horace W. Philbrook appeared before
the atate supremo court this morning
and endeavored to Bhow cause why he
should not be punished for contempt, in
having unmercifully scored Judge Har
rison in the Newman-Levißon litigation,
previous to hia elevation to tho supreme
benob. Philbrook, nnaonahed, reiter
ated hie charges. Ho dee.arsd that the
evil influence of Harrison secured a judg
ment in the lower courts against the
legatees of John Newman, and that be
believed Harrison's influence would
have been exercised upon the remainder
of tho court to deoide against the Lovi
sons in the case now pending bad he
not. called the court's attention to this
paculiar state of affairs. He considers
his brief proper aud necessary, and con
sidets it his sworn duty to present the

Seattle. Deo. 17. —A fire broke out in
the Oregon Improvement company's
New Castle coal mine at Coal Creek, 10
miles from this city, at 8:30 o'clock this
morning and the creek was turned into
the mine to extinguish the flames. At
7 o'clock John Morgan found flames in
a cedar stick on tho sscond level. He
put it out but an hour and a half later
another man saw fire coming from a
breast on the third level aod gave tbe
alarm.
a narrow ■SOAPS,
Morgan started down the stop*, bnt
sent back for n wrench and whilo wait
j ing the flames burst out and he aban
doned the attempt. This delay saved
him from certain death.
In the midst of wild confusion Super
intendent Anderson telephoned below,
tailing tho 12S men in the mine how to
escape, and staid at the telephone untii
fire drove him away. By this time the
125 men had come out, but more re
mained, and five men, Will Harm, Andy,
Reynolds, John Kriekoon, Andy Stew
art nnd John Morgan, went down the
air Bhaft to warn them, though the
siope was burning within 100 lost.
FANNIED FLAMES RACK,
The fans were kept going tnough they
fanned the flames and enormously in
creased the loss, and men worked hero
ically to koop the flames from them,
for a moment's stoppage would have
meant death. Tbe last man was brought
out at 2:30 p. in., and the roll was
called.
THE MINE FLOODED.
The openings were then stopped, Coal
creek dammed and turned into the

versed to draw out the smoke while the
men go down to fight the fire.
The machinery and top works were
saved except the roof of the elope, but

A wager has just been made at War

wide attention, especially among bicycl
ists and all lovers of sport.
Tom W. Winder, editor - of the Wasp
of that city, and a bicycle enthusiast,
will to decide tho hot and "establish a
record,'' will endeavor to make a trip
along the coast and border line of the
United States, estimated—via circuitous
country roads—at 21,600 miles in 300
consecutive days, or a daily average of
72 miles, crossing 33 states and terri
tories, 220 counties; visiting 2084 cities,
towns and villages, and registering at
70 points en route.
Tho start will be made from New Or
leans on Februaiy ! th, 1895, going west,
so that the entire trip can be made in
warm weather, enabling him to cross
the great plains of the northwest during
the early summer, the most favorable
time of all the year.
The following places have been select

This ia the longest bicycle journey,
with or without a time limit, ever un
dertaken, being considerably farther
than to circuit tho globe, which requires
from two to three years. Tbat his move
ments will be watched with great in
terest admits of no doubt. Many wiil
be tbo days that he will have to make
a "century" in order to even up. Mr.
Winder is of Slight build, weighing but
120 pounds, and has dene considerable
rough country riding, among other
places having "done" tho Yellowstone
National park on "a wheel" during the
past autumn.
This ride will be a most remarkable
lest of endurance when the condition of
tbe ordinary country road, the moun
tains to be crossed and the storms to be
encountered, are considered.
