CURRENT SPORTING MATTERS CHICAGO, October 30.—“Parson” Davies and his party reached Chicago this morn- ing and left almost immediately on the Wabash road for Hot Springs, being due there at 11 tomorrow morning. A number of local sporting men were at the depot to see them off. In the party were John Ryan, Harry Pigeon, Dr. McNamara and John L. Sullivan and wife. The “Parson” was not sure that the fight would take place. All he knew was that he had received a telegram to “come on,” and he thought the chances were that Corbett and Fitzsim- mons would meet. In his opinion Corbett would win. This was the opinion of all the others ex- cept Sullivan, who refused to commit him- self. Speaking of Tommy Ryan, Davies sald he was never better in his life and weighed 1421-2 pounds. He was going to Hot Sprirgs to fight and would meet “Mysteri- ous” Billy Smith in a balloon or anywhere else he could get a chance to determine which was entitled to the purse. John L. Sullivan has been engaged by a New York newspaper to sit beside the ring if Corbett and Fitzsimmons do face each other and report the fight. COLUMBIANS WON. The High School Boys Snappy Game. A spirited, cleen game of foot ball was presented yesterday at National Park by the elevens of Columbizn College and the Central High School. The former won by 10 to 4. Although the former team was the heavier, the High School beys put so much pluck and snap into the game that it was a hard matter for the college boys to make any gains except by solid, heavy rushes through the line. x Columbian started with the kick-off, and after successive kicks succeeded in sending Weaver across the line for a touch down. Shuster failed in the try for goal, however, and a moment later the Central tied the score by sending little Jolly across the line from around the end. Oyster also failed to kick goal, and the score stood at the end of the first half 4-4. The Centrals started off the second half by the Kick-off, but were unable to with- stand the welght of the Columbian players, and after about ten minutes Beard sprinted across the line for ancther touch down. Shuster kicked a goal this time, making the score 10-4. The Centrals made a brave fight after this last touch down and came near scoring rev; of the time, however, preverting any addi- tion to the score. The line-up of the two teams was as fol- lows: Columbian. Put Up a Positions. Central School. .-Right end. Right tackle Right guard. -Center. COLUMBIAN UNIVERSITY TEAM. Many of the Foot Ball Players Dis- cuss Its Formation. A number of Columbian University stu- dents met in the president's room at the college building yesterday afternoon to discuss foot ball matters. Mr. G. L. John- sen and Mr. R. S. Barrett, the provisional managers, issued the call, which was re- sponded to by about fifty persons, thirty of whom were possible candidates for the team. Some of those who were present were C. B. Keene, H. C. Evans, J. F. Hendrick,Don- ald McDonald, Edward 8. Glavis, Chas. G. Harris, H. P. Doolittle, jr, Edward P. Mills, C. F. Sensner, John W. Brawner, S. E. Burroughs, T. T. Dorman, Harry Clapp, C. W. Parker, Lewis H. Wulfe! ubler, Ewing Cockrell, Fessenden Hicks, Reeve Lewis and John Hazelton. A great many of the players who attended the meeting have played together on different teams, and are acquainted with each oth- er’s methods and moje of playing. The aptain of the team will probably be chosen m among those nimed. The principal topic was the strength of the university team. The college team has made an excellent record, and as many of those who attended the meeting yesterday are old college players, it !s a generally ac- cepted fact that an exceptionally strong team could be made up from their ranks. Not a few of the delegates are old High School players, and thelr experience and skill, coupled with the resources of the col- lege men, should go a long way toward making a ‘Varsity foot ball team that Co- iumbian University will be proud to own. A question was raised as to what rules should govern the games in which the team fs to participate, but thls matter was referred to a committee of which Mr. Reeve Lewis 1s the chairman, and he will make a report at the mecting which {s to be held tomorrow afternoon. Trying to Trade Collins for Holmes, It is said in Louisville base ball circles that the Boston club ts trying to tradey Third Baseman Collins for Outfielder Helmes and another player. Holmes is to take the place of McCarthy, who, it fs said, will be displaced by Boston. Collins has said he would not play in Boston, prefe ring Louisville to any other city. It is not known whether the deal will go through or not, but such a proposition is said to have been made by Manager Selee. Freedman Wants to Trade. From the Philedelphia Press. Yesterday afternoon Mr. Freedman came over to talk business with Messrs. Reach and Rogers. He wants an outfielder, and he wants one badly, and his first proposi- tion was in that direction. “Tl give you Jack Doyle, the greatest ball player in the business, for Tuck Turn- er, but I'll want a handsome cash constd- eration in addition,” sald Mr. Freedman. Colonel Rogers evidently did not grasp the purport of Mr. Freedman’s remark, for he rema rdon me, but how much did you say you would give in addition?” Mr. Freedman then made himself clear, and intimated that he wasn’t playing close to the cushion. Then came proposition No. “I'll give you Meekin, the greatest pitcher on carth, for Taylor ‘and a cash bonus,” said Mr. Freedman, During their variegated experience in base ball Messrs. Reach and Rogers have en- countered many modest requ. but this one rather took their breath away. They had an {dea that judged on the season’s work Taylor was at least the equal of Meekin, who was in anything but good form and whose arm had gone astray in August. Orlents und Potomaes.

An exciting and hard-fought game of basket ball was played at Carroll Institute last evening between the C. I. team and a representation from the Washington M. C. Cycle Club. Although the score was one- sided—11 to 0-the game was well play-d and abounded in snap and pretty plays. The Carroll Institute was, however, benefited by team work and practice, and it was this which won the game. The goals were made by Daley (4), Mangan 6), Hughes (1) and Sweeney (1). The teams lined up as follows: Carroll Institute—Gallagher, home goal; Daley, right forward; Manyan, left forward; Hughes, right back; Downey, left back; C. Mess, enemy’s goal, and Berberick, cent: Washington M. C. Club—Riva, home goal; Campbell, right forward; Gibson, left for- ward; Libby, right back; Alexander, left back; Tenny, enemy's goal, and Pitkin, center. Basket Ball League Mecting. A meeting will be held -his evening at the Washington Light Infantry armory of the schedule committee of the local basket ball league. The delegates will submit to the di- rectors the schedule for the toming season for their apprcval. The op2ning games will probably be played, if the schedule is accept- ed, next Tuesday. Will Play at Kendall Green. ‘A game of foot ball will be played this afternoon at Kendall Green between the elevens of Gallaudet College (second team) and the Business High School. Arthur Irwin Signs With New York. President Freedman went to Philadelphia yesterday_and signed Arthur Irwin to man- age the New York club next season. Presi- dent Freedman is still dickering for several pkeers of the Philadelphia club. Opposed to Conching. President F. De Hass Robinson of the Cleveland Base Ball Club says that he will introduce a resolution at the National League meeting in New York next month prohibiting coaching in National League games. He says that during the past sea- son coaching was largely responsible for the rowdyism at many games. He says he expects the support of enough of the mag- nates to have the resolution adopted. Phoenix Wants the Fight. PHOENIX, Ariz., October 30.—The Phoe- uix Athletic Club has wired the managers of Corbett and Fitzsimmons that the club will put $50,000, and also insure immunity from arrest, if the fight comes off here. Gus Hirshfield, Fred, Schofield, Jack Gibson and Senator Freeze raised the purse, ———_— ALEXANDRIA’S NEWS Albert Hawkins Partially Confeszes to the Crime of Attempted Rape. Albert Hawkins, the young negro who attempted to assault twelve-year-old Sadie Sherier near Lincolnville, in the county, Monday evening, is still confined in the jail in this city, but will have a hearing before the grand jury today.. When seen by a Star reporter yesterday in his cell in murderer's row he did not seem to realize the seriousness of his position, and an- swered questions put to him in a dull and hesitating way. When asked about the girl he denied having scen her, and sald that he kad becn working for Mr. Charles Miller near the scene of the assault. He says he is sixteen years old, but looks to be every bit of eighteen or nineteen. He is about four feet seven inches tall and of a gingerbread color. Capt. Smith said that at no time had there been a suspicion that the citizens of either county or city would try to take the prisoner out of jail and lynch him. He also said that he had not laid in a supply of Winchesters, as one of the local papers had said. Keeper Timothy Hayes told The Star reporter that the pris- oner had made a partial confession to him. Father Kenefick Dead. Rev. Father J. J. Kenefick, who was widely known in Virginia as the “boy priest,” died yesterday at Fredericksburg, at the age of twenty-nine years. Fa- ther Kenefick was ordained a priest in Rome. In 1892 he was made as- sistant pastor of St. Mary’s Church, Alex- andria, and a few months ago was placed in charge of St. Mary’s Church, Freder- icksburg, of which he was pastor when he died. Last Saturday the young minister left this city in better health than for sev- eral months. As is well known, he had several times been prostrated and brought near death's door by a gastric trouble, and the disease terminated in his death. Few clergymen have had more devoted friends than Father Kenefick enjoyed in this city, especially among the young men of St. Mary's congregation. The Young Men’s Sodality Lyceum held a meeting last night at their hall, on Duke street, and ap- pointed a committee to draft proper resola- tions, and also appointed a committee to attend his funeral, which will take place tomorrow. The body will be taken to Richmond for interment beside those of his parents. Charter Granted, Judge Norton of the corporation court yesterday granted a charter of incorpora- tion to the Washington News Association, which proposes to publish the Washington News. The capital stock of the company is $150,000, divided into shares of $100 each. Mr. Thomas L. Cockrell is named as the local agent of the company, and the offi- Thomas H.

Chi- chester presiding, 2 number of condemna- tion suits were disposed of yesterday. The grand jury found Thomas Bowman guilty of involuntary manslaughter, and fixed his punishment at six months in jail. Lillie Fields was found guilty of attempt at grand larceny, and her punishment fixed at twelve months in jail. The grand jury continued in session this afternoon. Morgan Withdraws. Mr. Thomas Morgan, one of the inde- pendent candidates for the house of dele- gates, has withdrawn from the fight, in order, as he says, to enable the republican vote to combine on Lewis, the other repub- lican candidate. Mr. Lewis is making a vigorous campaign, and his friends claim that he will poll quite a heavy vote, al- though all of them acknowledge that Mr. May will probably be elected by a large majority. Notes, A called meeting of the Mary Custis Lee Division, Daughters of the Confederacy, was held this morning at 11 o’clock at the residence of Mrs. W. S. Greene, No. 317 North Washington street. Some unfinish- ed business was transacted. The police will make their appearance Friday with their new helmets and batons. The democrats of Alexandria and vicin- ity have been invited to attend a big dem- ocratic mass meeting to be held at Laurel, Md., tomorrow, at which Senator Gorman and others will speak. DETAILS OF THE WORK The report of the joint commissioners ap- pointed under the convention made in 1892 between Great Britain and the United States for the survey of the territory of the United States and Canada adjacent to the boundary line dividing Alaska and Can- ada will be made in the course of the next three months. General Duffield, chief of the coast and geodetic survey, is the com- missicner on behalf of the United States and D. F. King serves in a like capacity for Great Britain. The purpose of the sur- vey is to furnish a basis for the determina- tion of the line from latitude 54 degrees 40 minutes north to where the boundary line encounters the l4Ist degree of longitude, which runs northward and marks the east- ern boundary of Alaska. Gen. Duffield’s as- sistants, L. F. Dickens and B. A. Welcker, have been in the field all summer, and are now engaged in working out their data. Under the treaty between Russia and Great Britain fixing the boundary line of Alaska, and the subsequent treaty by which Alas- ka became the property of the United States, the boundary line was to run from the point where the Portland canal inte: sects the 56th degree of latitude nort! ward along the crest of the mountaii range, if there should be any, to the 141st degree of longitude; if no mountain range Were found the line was to run ten marine leagues from the coast line. The Boundary Contention. No range of mountains was found, so that the United States territory under the treaty is a strip of land ten marine leagues in w-dth along the coast. Along the coast are a series of islands, beginning with Prince of Wales island to the southward, known as the Alexander archipelago, and when the reports of the surveys are made, the ques- tion as to whether the ten marine leagues Ine is to run inland from the line of these islands, or from the mainland, and as to whether the coast line shall be considered to run from headland to headland, or to ful- low the actual coast line, must be deter- mined under the convention by the Presi- dent and Secretary Olney on behalf of the United States, and Queen Victoria and Sir Julian Pauncefote on behalf of Great Bri- tain. The Canadian maps now make the boundary line run ten mar-ne leagues from the outer coast line of the islands of the Al-xander archipelago, show.ng that Great Britain is already prepared to make a con- tention for that line. The point at which the Portland canal crosses the fifty-sixth degree of latitude has been determined, and also the point at which the ten marine leagues line meets the one hundred and for- ty-first parallel. Mount St. Elias, it has been ascertained, is in longitude 140 degrees and 47 minutes west. The Oglesvic Line. In some respects a more interesting prob- lem which Gen. Dutlicid is now at work on is the determination of the points at which the l4Ist degree of longitude (the eastern boundary of Alaska) crosses the Forty-mile creek and the Yukon river, as this boundary may involve the ownership of some of the gold properties now de- veloping there. Oglesvie, a British official, determined these points -astronomically in 1ssv. By his observations the 141st parallel crossed Forty-mile creek eight and three- quarter miles from its mouth, or junction with the Yukon river, and left the bend of the latter river in Canadian territory. His line, however, was fixed entirely by astro- nomical observations. Gen. ,Duffield’s line will also be made from astronomical ob- servations, but he has other data, which Oglesvie did not have, with which to check possible errors. The latitude and longi- tude of Camp Da‘ m above the Yuken have been absolutely fixed from a long series of observations. From that point the country has been triangulated to the Yukon and a transverse line has been run all the way to the head of Forty-mile creek. This work has been in progress since 1800 and the final calculations will be completed in about three weeks. Gold Fields Included. Gen. Duffield does not expect the line to vary much from that of Oglesvie, and, from the information he has, he gives it as his opinion that all of the gold properties of the Yukon and Forty-mile creek are within the jurisdiction of the United States. So far as he has been informed, and the report of the governor of Alaska agrees with his information, all-the gold discoveries have been to the west of a line drawn from Cape Barrow to the extreme southern point of Alaska, all of which is in United States territory. There are two ways of reaching the mining region on Forty-mile creek—one from the southward, by way of Chilkat Pass and the upper tributaries of the Yu- kon, and the other by ascending the Yukon from its mouth. The former is through Canadian territory and the latter is entire- ly in United States territory, save for the small distance around the bend of the Yu- kon and the eight and three-quarter miles up Forty-mile creek. According to the ad- vices from Alaska, British officials have been levying and collecting duties on min- ing materials as they passed through Brit- ish territory. This. Gen,. Duffield says, is entirely legal, if the Oglesvie line is found to be substantially correct, as he believes it will be. Still, much interest will attach to the result of the final computations Gen. Duffield is making, as they will furnish a boundary upon which the United States can stand. ————————— MUCH MONEY AT STAKE. Thomas E. Young Contesting the Will of His Deceased Brother. A contest over the estate of the late James E. Yourg, who died October 19, 1892, was commenced before Judge Cole, in Criminal Court No. 1, today. The amount involved is about $50,000, and it is expected that the trial will continue for four or five days. ‘The will of the deceased, made October 1, 1892, divided his property among certain relatives, Thos. E. Young, a brother, being practically excluded. It is this brother who makes the contest, claiming that the testa- tor was of unsound mind, and that the will was proctired through the alleged undue influence of John Young, another brother. Messrs. A. S. Worthington and A. A. Lipscomb appeared on behalf of the cavea- tor, Thos. E. Young, Messrs. Edwards and Barnard and Henry Wise Garnett repre- senting the beneficiaries under the will. The testimony introduced today on behalf of the caveator tended to show that the deceased, who lived in Alexandria, Va., was weak minded, eccentric and addicted to intoxicants. a Housing the Poor. There was a meeting yesterday afternoon In the west parlor of Foundry Methodist Church of the civic center committee on the housing of the people, Chairman G. W. W. Hanger presiding. A number of per- sons interested in the housing of the poor were present, and an informai cussion of the best method of bettering the condl- tion of tenement and similar houses here followed. Mr. Hanger explained that a schedule of inquiries had been prepared re- specting the condition of houses, and it was finally decided to refer the schedule to a subcommittee of five for revision, the committee to have the henefit of investiga- tions to be made during the next two weeks by members of the whole committee. The chairman stated that he would an- nounce the subccemmitte2 at the next meet- ing, and an adjournment was then taken until the 12th of next month.
