KENYON. Sec. Omaha Gun Club. In the foot ball world this will probably bo a sen mil of "big" games. In the cast It Avill , Indeed bo the case , and so , In a measure. In the West. Down cast , though , the lovers of Uio game hive tha prospect of nt least three between " " battles "big" teams. It has come to be definitely understood that there will be no game between Princeton and Pennsylvania this year , because of the tilttcr feullug which has been evidenced since thiilr last contest. In 1S94. In that game ths Quakers were charged with "unneces sary roughness , " and they were guilty ot it , Indeed , to such an extent that feveril of the Prlncoton playora wcro not presentable In society for some time after. Yale baa broken with them for the same cause , and Princeton declarer : , r.fter that terrific struggle that they had 'had enough ot the prlzo fight style of Toot ball In which the Quakers Indulged. As n result there was no game In 1895 or IMG , and though Pennsylvania has made repeated advances the Tigers have rejected them all. Harrison Hall , the Princeton manager , has stated emphatically that no action , has been taken concerning the ar ranging of a game with Pennsylvania , and that the schedule , ns It now stands , will not bo changed. This moans Mliat there will be no game with Pennsylvania , ami this Will bo n great disappointment to thousands of foot ball enthusiasts , who con fidently expected that n gaum would be ar ranged which would rcsult _ In the greatest struggle ever seen on a gridiron. Princeton U sure to feavc a suijerb eleven again this yenr. If not as good as that of last fall , the difference will bo hard to discover , and the underclassmen are not satisfied with a schedule which gives the team but ono luml game. The contest nrtth Lnfnyotto will probably ho hard enough , tint then It does not come under the lined of a big game , and this Is what the undergraduates want. In the went there will bo some fifteen or twenty flint class games , which will Include ( ho games of the universities of Nebraska. Iowa. Kansas nnd Missouri , r.uil these of the Chicago , Michigan , Northwestern , Wis consin And Minnesota teams. Omaha gets the Tnnnkfglvipii day gam ft between Ne braska nnd.tnui , and the situation from a local point nf view promises to bp the- best 'Whlcljtlio patrons of the game In this city Jiavo oyor had a elm nee to enjoy. Omaha Is the making of ono of the best foot bull towns In the west. The young men , college graduates iJtul students , together with a largo following of the commo i herd , are mad over the great sport , nnd some grand outpourlngu of the people will bo witnessed ] ioro when thu flocculcnt crystals begin to fly. ' 'With all duo resnot to Duke Fnrrell , 31 m Mc3ulro and the other brainy hack- Btops In the leagueit Is my opinion that Dergcn of Boston 'has a rank In class A along wJth- the beat of them , " Is the Im pression tl'at Mnr.ln I)6rgcn ) made on Joe Kolley. .

The consistent work of the whole team lua made "Mie championship possible. " Alth-outrh the Statesmen bad a chance ta vi\n \ the Detroit Krce Press cup they forfeited the trophy to Indianapolis.

The annual meeting of the directors of the Western Basa Hall Icngtm was held In the Great Northern1 t hotel hole today. These present were : Ban Johnson , Tom I.oftus of Columbus , who wan accompanied by Oils Schmelz , formerly manager of the Washington National League club ; M. H , Klllllea , Milwaukee ; Charles Comlxkcy , St. Paul ; W. H. Watkins - kins , representing Inrllttnapalls ; M. P. Hnync nnd C. H. SauldpaiiKh of .Minneapolis ; Maim , Kur Kltehcll of the Pennsylvania nnd Ohio I Coal company , Minneapolis , was also pres- cnt nt the meeting , The question as to the ; disposal of the Grand llaplds franchise was I ' not taken up. us Ilobcrt I.eadley , the former . owner , had not' tiled olllclal Information concerning the- sale of the franchise to M. l R. Harrlman of DCS Molnos. There appears to be no doubt , however , of the bona lido I nature of the salr , nnd It was generally I understood that .Mr. Hnrrlman , iho has ! plenty of financial backing , will manage the i team next yci.r. This will bo olllclally brought before the board at Its next meetIng - i Ing , November 10 , and will bo ratified. I Jn regard to the stock of John Goodnow I of the .Minneapolis club , nnd now United States consul ut Shanghai , Mr. Kltehcll In formed the board that Ooodnow some time I\KO mortgaged his hiilf Interest In thn Icum to the Pennsylvania nnd Ohio Coal companv. Tin- mortgage has boon foie- closcd , Mr. Kltehcll said , nnd the company tins determined to retain tha Interest in the club nnd bo joint owner with Messrs. Hnync nnd Saulspaugh. This , It Is said , came ns a t'lsnprccablc ' surnrlso to the latter icntlc- mon , who have been cherlJhtng hopes or so- curlnjr the coveted stock for themielvuH. Two committees were appointed , the com mittee on schedule for l.siis , which will re port at the meeting November 10 , and a committee to prcnnro a petition to the Na tional le.iguc. This petition will pray for nnu'iidmetit to the present drafting rule * > , giving the minor league clubs two years' ' protection from the. operation of the draft , instead of outnt at present. TblM committee will l > p mmle up of Presi dent Johnson , M. U. Klllllee and Marcus Ilaync. The gentlemen will go before the National league board , which will meet at Philadelphia November 9 , In order to FC- curr better legislation and arrangemcntw In rcg'anl to the drafting of players. On the motion of President Johnson it was decided to obtain a mall vote of all the cities comprised In the Western league as to the advls.iblllty of holding the annual mooting of Hie league In this city October 21. This was done In order that the nffulnt of the niln > r organization would be In ( .ood shape wlirn they wer presented to the Na tional league. It has always been the cus tom to hold the Western league meeting after the National league Is held , but this year the magnates of the latter Icaguo wish that order reversal. An Omalin man was at the meeting trying1 to negotiate the purchase of the Grand llaplds fr.mchlfe. He claimed to be backed by a nymllcnto with plenty of money. Noth ing was done , however. In the matter. Omaha Is not looked upon with favor by the magnates as a Western league city. They would prefer to have an eastern city , suoh as Toledo , get the franchise , as that would help to balance the number of eastern and western cities In the laguo. Contrary to ( xpectnlions , there were no exchanges of idavi.'rs. IMC HVI'llY LIST FOR IIOHSK SHOW. A ! Vn I r I'roinUt-M to Outdo All ItH I > ri > ll < * VI > NNOrN , CHICAGO. Oct. 7. The Chicago horse show for 1S07 , which will be held November 1 to 6 Inclusive , promises to be by far the I ' most successful one yet held.

The entries do not close until October 20 , 1 and liy that time It Is fully expected there | will be a demand for from 1,003-to 1.200 stalls. The prize list amounts to $43,000 , a sum greater than ever before ottered by any American horse show. The demand for boxes and favorable scatlngs Is very large. At the close of the show the raunmjnth Coliseum building , the fame .structure l.vhlcli housed the last democratic national convention and so many' other famous gath erings , Is to be turned Into a winter amuse ment place , surpassing In some respects Madison Square pardon In New York. Prob ably the most unique feature will lie the construction of a gigantic "footocycle , " which. It Is asserted , Is the legitimate co'rt weather successor ot the bicycle. It Is built of nickeled steel , with wheels of com pressed rubber on ball bearings. Heslde the amusement features proper the Coil- scum will contain for several months n mid-winter continuous fair , 50,000 feet of floor space being utilized by exhibits.

The State depart ment has received full Information as to the position ot the Ilrltish government on the proposed Herlug sea conference. This proves to bo much more complete than the brief cable reports from London Indicate , as the department has been advised not only of Great Hrltaln's declination to enter a eon- forcivco unless It Is limited to the expert ? ot the United States , Great Britain and Canada , but also has been Informed quite fully as to wh.it led the marquis of Salisbury to thts conclusion. The llrltlsh contention , as laid down before the State department , Is that at no stage has the Urltlsh government agreed to a conference except that between the exports of Great Urltaln , Canada and the United States. H Is not questioned that Secretary Sherman and Ambassador Hay made suggestions that the cnnfercnce should bo between "the powers Interested , " nnd that some of the notes from the United States authorities expressed a desire to have Hus la and Japnu tnke part In the confer ence. Jlut It Is pointed out thai these sug gestions came from the United States , ar-l until accepted could have no effect In de termining the nature of the conference. So far as the suggestions wcro accepted , the note ot Lard Salisbury January 2S is raid to stand alone , and this note , It Is stated , mentioned only a conference between the oxpei ts of the United States , Great llrltaln and Canada. The latest correspondence on the subject leads to considerable doubt as to who will participate In the coming meetings. It has been understood that the difference would be bridged over by holding two meetings , In one of which Russia and Japan would participate without Great Britain , while a second meeting would bo held between the experts of Great Britain and the United States. It Is understood that Ambassador Hay was directed to effect such ar | arrangement In ciso Great Britain declined to enter the general conference. But there Is some question whether the British confcr- rces will participate In any way until n definite decision Is reached In the general conference , as there Is understood to be n reluctance on the part of the British to Join III it U Utll uuuic * viiu u tin u int. - uv u , 11 iiv , i nt , * the British experts will leave for thla coun try to attend cither a general or limited conference until an understanding Is reached on the entire subject. As the conference Is so near at hand , the first plan having been to hold It October 23 , the negotiations are necessarily conducted by cable , nnd by this means a satisfactory adjustment may yet be reached. ! i STATUS OK Till : COUXTUY'S TRADE. for . \liunnt I.urjiiT Than for Any ( HIiiT AuniiHt. WASHINGTON , Oct. 7. The bureau of sta tistics has Issued a table showing the exports and Imports for August , the first full month under the now tariff law. These figures show for that month the largest exports of do mestic merchandise of any August In the his tory of the government. The exports were $79,240.244 , against $ GC,059,931 for August , 1S9G. For the first eight months ot the year exports were $61,810,000 In excess of the first eight months of 1S9G , so that the bureau ofll- clals believe that the exports this year will far exceed these of last year , which was Its record , breaking year In the matter of exports. The value of all Imports , dutiable and free , for August was $39,848,312. of which $18,029- 007 were free. These figures show a decrease of about $10,000,000 below those of 189C. Ths decrease was due to a heavy reduction In the Importation of raw wool , which decreased from 4.C51.000 pounds In August last year to 2,87777 pounds last August ; manufactured wool from 3,709,000 to B39.000 ; wool and man ufactures thereof from $1OC3COO to f671,000 ; manufactures ot cotton from $2,553,000 to $1,023,000 ; manufactures of Jute , flax , hemp , etc. , from $2,221,000 to $999,289 ; Iron nnd steel from $1,706,007 to $887,314 , nnd sugars from $5,310,000 to $2.950,000.
