While Visiting & Classmate at Was Ho Wandered Ay Great Game at New York Thanksgiving. Wasnixoros, L, C,, Jan, 1.—The sudden and mysterious disappearance of the Prin- ceton foot ball team captain, Ralph Warren, porplexes the polico and is a source of tho greatest anxioty to his relatives and frienas in New York rnd Washington. Thore is probably not a student at Princeton who Is moro generally known throughout tho country thad young Wavren, on account of his prominent connection with the famous foot ball team, Mr. Warren, nftor a season of hard study and severe physical traiv- ing in the gymnasinm, came to Washington with his classmate, a son of Georgo P. Frazer, who lives at 2013 Hyllyer place, to spend the bolidays, Kver since the last foot ball game, in which Princeton participated, Mr. Warren has suffered from irjurics ro- ceived on the field. In this game, besides a bruise of the uoso, Lo received a severe twist of the neck. He did not pay much attention to his hurts at the time but sinco then he hes compluined of pains in his head, Young Warren and his classmate arrived in Washington several days ago and went at once to the Irazer residence. They attended tho concert givon by the Princeton Gies club Monday night and wont home togethor earty. At that hour young Warren seemed per foctly rational. About 6 o'clock the next morning the butlor noticed Warren going out without his overcout und remarked to him: “You had botter take your overcoat, sir, it is cold.”” “No,” replied Warren, “I am going for & short, brisk walk and will return presently.” The butler noticed that Warren turned to the right toward Twenty-third streot, which would take him out of towr, Yesterday ternoon the uncle of the young man, William A. Torrey, came over from New York 10 assist in the seasch. Mr. Tor- roy wisited police headquarters, and the entiro machinery of tho ' police department has been put into operation in ap endeavor to locate tho missing man. 0 definite clue has yet been obtained. It was reported last evening, however, that a young man answering to the description of Warren was seen in the ISbbitt house yesternay. Fov! play is foared, but tho suggestion is also mado that the injuries received by War- ren in the football game finally affected his brain and that he wandered away somewhat confused in mind, SULLIVAN ALWAYS FIGHTS HARD, Mo Will Never Throw a Hippodrome. Wasmyaron, D, C., Jan, 1.—Probably no man fn the United States is botter quallified to discuss John L. Sullivan and his affairs than Hugh Coyle, who in 1534 was the repre- sentative of a press syndicate and traveling with the Sullivan combination on its svar- ring tour. ‘Charlie Johnston called Mit- ohell and Slavin down in good style,” was his remark last evening as ho sat in the cozy parlor at an uptown club, “and showed up the bluff of the Einglishmen. Nobody knows any better than Slavin himself that he is not in it with a man of Sullivan’s nerve and ¢ hitting powers and he was only too glad of an_opportunity to crawfist out, of a fight with the chariplon. Johnston is clear grit, 00, when it comes to & question of putting up wonoy ou Sullivan, for he has as high an opinion and is as good a judge of a fighter as any man on earth. Then he knows that Sul- livan will never throw a friend down, for he haa a pructical illustration of this tact on one occasion when Sullivan was to be pitted against Jem Mace in a glove contest. This match, however, fell through bocause Mace wanted Sulliva to make a hippodrome. ‘I have often regretted that 1 did nov consent to his proposition,’ said Sullivan one day, ‘and then turncd in and give him a good beating for his impudence.’ That’s the kind of a man Sullivan is," continued Mr. Coyle. “and no ‘wonder his friends stick up for him on all oc- casions.” 11.AND, Ore,, Jan. 1.—John L. Sullivan d here today and said he was daily ox- pecting word from Charlie Jokuson advising hitm of the arrangementof a match with Slavin, Ho will not fight if Jackson whips Slavin in England. 1f Slavin wins and a mateh 15 arranged ho says he will be ready to fight the big Australiar early next Sep- tember. Fo thinks George Pease, Slavin’s backor, is getting soared and is withdrawing his money. YANK Down a Backer by D HER OU Omaha's The match tug-of-war, pulled at the Coli- seum last evening between the Danish team of this ity and a picked team from Lincoln, attracted a moderate but very enthusiastic crowd. The Danes never were fu better condition, and as scon as they wade their appearance and arrauged themselves in front of qhwir op- ponents, the result was easily predicted, for n0o countrp was ever represented in a friendly athletic strugglo by a finer, stauncher, more maguificent set of men. After a' little wrangling the sporting editor of Tur Bre was agread upon for refores, and o moment later both men were on the slats waiting for the signal that was to inaugurate the war. It quickly came, and after twenty-three minutos of ' steady work, Denmarl had Lincoln over the line, Vaciferous cheers greeted the victors and ne dofeated as thoy rotired for their fifteen minutes vest. The second neat begun promptly at 0:45 and in just twenty-one min- utes Lincotn was again pulled over the lix and Denmavk bad another laurel to her growing wreath. Afgor the battle a representative of the Swaedish team ‘;rrormhm_u a bold chullenge 10 the Daues, offering to pull them for any reasonable sum, which wus unhessitatingly accepted, and su agreement mudo that the captains of the respoctive teams, Sjoberg and Noble, should met at Tnr Bee oftice at 10 o'clock this morning, post a forfeit and ar- range all tne preliminary details to the match, This will be a tug-of-war that will be no disgrace to the name, PITCHER MEAKIN SIGNED, x City Senson, Caitaco, L, .hm, L—A telegram received from the east last night announced that Pitoher George Meakin of last year's Sioux City's club had sccopted the terms of the Chicago club and would sign here for next season, Meaken s regarded as a good man | in'the west and Auson proforred him to Billy Haat. Meakin in the fall games with the St. Louis club won every game he pitchea against it It is provable that Gumbert will not be retained. The club is casting about for another first class pitcher and if he can be soourad Gumbert and Vickery will be released ‘and the club will start with Hutehinson, Meakin, qu{ and another man yet to be be secured. In any event Vickery will be re- leased to make way for Meakin, The club Ties also signed Catchor Counie Murphy of Quincy, @ promuing youngster, A move may be made to secure Tom Brown in ex-: chango for Witmot. Brown has exprossed bamsell as dissatisfied at tho scheme 1o trans- for him to Lowsville und would provably not object to coming here. Wilmot nas declaved that he will not play any longer under Anson, #0 that he would probably jump at the chance 1o get away. Brown would be a good man for the club in more ways than one. Heis a good base runner and hitter, aud a fast if not lhmlhlv relisble man 1o the outtield. His vatue would come in his avility to lead off at the bat. ‘The club was compelled last year 1o push Ryau into the leading position at the DAt and weakened its batting strength in consequence.

The experience of Tus Bee Cramvs Bureau has brought out the fact that many of its subscribers do not undevstand that the Indian depredations act passed by the last congress annulled all provirus contracts for collecting claims urder it. This isa fact that thoy should know for their owa protec tion. When the act was signed all contracts with agents were made void by its terms. The holders of claims wore then free to make such bargains with their ageuts as they pleaced, or could refuse to make any bargain at all. The framers of the act found it necessary totake this step for the protection of the claimants. Atthe time when there seemed little chance that such an act would be vassed hundreds of claimants had contracted with ageats to pay outrageous fous in case the money could be collected. Casos are known in which theclaimants had contracted togive uvto the agents over oue-half the amount coilected. Cases in which one-third was promised were not at all uncommon. To allow theso contracts to stand would make the law not, an act of justice, but an act of extortion for the benefit of the claim agents. The clause was inserted annulling all the contracts, good, bad and indifferent, and limiting 'the percentuge to be charged by agents to 15 per cent, with an extra 5 per cont allowance for special cases, The claim sgents naturally objeoted to tuis, asserting that it was beyond the powers of congross, but the best opinion of both houses was that contracts mado to colloct claims under a law that did not exist could be anuulled in thse manner. On the 4th of March, therefore, the claim- ants who had sigued contracts wers as free from obligations to agents as those who had not. If thoy were satisfled witn their agents and wished to sign a new contract withia the ligitof compensation fixed by the law, it was thoir right, but none Of them wero under any legal obligation to do so, The more unscrupulous of tho ugents naturally ropresented to their clients that thoy were bound to renew their contracts, with merely the substitution of the terms named by law for tho outrageous commissions av first de- manded. Cases have been brought t the attention of Tus Be: n whichothis policy had beon tollowed succes lly, y unscrapulous agents. They had i aword bullied the claimants into hiring thom when if tho claimants had understood tbat thoy wera free of obligation, they would tavo chosen other representatives, As others are being worked upon in the same way,the- facts of the case are set forth for their pro tection. If they are satistied with the men they first chose they are right in re-engaging them. If they are not satified, thoy are free to engage anbody they chuose, Tur Bee Craivs BUreau was ostablished solely for the protection of the public. It was established on account of the complaints of its subscribers who thought they were beiog unjustly treated, and those, still more numerous, who applied to it to find a reiiablo agent. It will collect the claims at only such charges as will pay tho expenses of the tu- reau, It is expected that it will ravely uup- pen that the limit set by the law will be needed to pav the expense of collection, Many of the claims can doubtiess be collected for b per cont of their face.

An informal party and collation was given at the Paxton hotel last night by the ladies of the house at tne invitation of Landlord ISastwan. About thirty-five couples took charge of the parlors and passed the oven- ing, seeing the old year out, in dancing and at the banquet table.

Point on the Presidio reservation. Work has been going on quietly but diligently, it being the beginning of the long planned military fortitication of the harbor and its approaches, and is being performed by direction of the navy. Thelast congress provided for about §200,000 to be used in improving the harbor fertifications. It was not planned that this sum would half accomplish the elaborate words designed by the engineers in their report to the govern- mert, but it was argued that it would make a beginning which would be added to from time to tune by additional appropriations. Huge wasses of masonry on I't. Point bluff form a part of foundations for the big guns and their curriages, It will not be three months, according to reports from eastern foundries, before at least one of theso guns, a ten-inch steel breech-loading rifie, will' be in position. ‘I'he masonry necessary for ono gun is all done and that for unother nearly so. Some of the wall of masonry is made fifty feet thick, of Portlana cement and loose rock, from a hill- side quarry near at hand. The thickest walls are to protect the magazine. At least 200 Tounds will be fived by each gun. Tho first gun that will be mounted wilt be fiited with an improved receding or disappearing ca riage. Thero will be several of these in various fortitications. - CARE mone Disastrous Railrond vexver, Colo 81.—A disastrous wreck oceurred this evening on the joint track of the Denver, Texas & Fort Worth and the Union Pacific railroad a fow miles aorth of Giraneros, Colo.
