' "American Banquet at Londoa.
' I.ONDON, Nov. 24. The annual Thanks
giving banquet of the American society at
the Hotel Cecil tonight was marked by the
presentation to Ambassador Choute of a
portrait of himself painted by Herbert
Herkimer and paid for by subscriptions
by members of the society. An unusual
note for such' a gathering was Introduced
by Sir Edward Clarke, who, proposing Mr.
Choate's health, sarcastically said the term
"American ambassador" Implied domina
tion over the whole of the western hemis
phere, which the United States does not
posses and' Is not entitled to,, as Great
Britain Is territorially a larger power on
the 'American continent than the United
Btates. Sir Edward suggested that a more
suitable title would be "Usona," signifying
United States of North Amerloa.
.' Having In the first criticism here of the
' State department's orders that embassies
hereafter shall be called American, thus
uttered a "respectful protest" against the
assumption of the larger name, Sir Ed
ward Clarke proceeded to refer to the mis
erable underpayment of American Judges
and America's waste of energies In provid
ing for survivors of the civil war and In
building ironclads' which she could never
use. . '
Ambassador Choate. replying, said -that
Americans were quite satisfied with their
name, and then referred to the recent clec.
tlon In the United States as a splendid
tribute of devotion to a great man. Having
remarked upon the regeneration of public,
life regardless of party, now In progress,
Mr. Choate alluded to the ever-growing
friendship between Great Britain and
America as reason for thanksgiving and
added: "I asked Lord Lansdowne if lie
was ready to negotiate a treaty of arbi
tration. 'Why,' said Lord Lansdowne, 'It
goea without saying.' "
Continuing, Mr. Choate maintained that
many things go without saying, but that
above all they should avoid all oauses of
offense and settle all differences by peace
ful means. He paid a high tribute to the
archbishop of Canterbury's "rediscovery of
Amerlua" and dilated upon the value of
visits to America by such men as the
archbishop and John Morley.
The archbishop of Canterbury, proposing
President Roosevelt's health, expressed his
sincere thank for the great hospitality
with which he was received In America?
He said America faced problems - greater
than the world bad ever eeen, but by a
stroke of genius had found the man to
conquer the difficulties. "We on this side,"
said the archbishop, "not less than broth
: eey to you across the Atlantic, thank God
j Jd take courage because the destinies of
America are Safe ly Roosevelt's hands."

Days and Bights ef Work Without Reault
sn Thomas Bomb Case.
DELVING AWAY WITH NOTHING TO WORK ON
Doth Possible and Seemingly Impas
sible Theories Ran Down with
Identical Reealts, hat Efforts
Being; Kept I'n.
Hypothetical questions framed by clever
lawyer to pusxle learned doctors and to
confuse Intelligent Juries re about the only
thing In that line comparable to the ques
tion that Chief Donahaue, Captain Dunn
and their men have been framing, analys
ing and trying to answer to their own
satisfaction since the explosion of the
bomb at the Thomas home last Tuesday
morning. Difficult problem In mathematics
would be comparatively easy if brought
Into competition with the problem the
police department ha offered It for eolu
! tlon In this case. That they fervently de
sire to solve It eems beyond question.
That they will be able to do so Is not at all
Icei tain, and the police themselves are the
first to admit the doubt.
A negro arrested a short time ago pro
tested Me Innocence of any crime and said
to the desk sergeant, with great earnest-
I ness, "Dese here fnlkses Is tryln' dere bes'
I to prove a alibi on me." In this case the
. police are not trying to prove an alibi for
i or on any one, but after making a great
' many men of Idle habit prove an alibi for
last Monday night they sre still wandering
In the realms of seemingly Idle deduction.
Some Possibilities.
The bomb maker and the bomb thrower. If
there were two parties to the deed, are still
safe and free. Who made the Infernal ma
chine is not known, or even suspected, un
less the police are playing the ostrich act
and also prevaricating without compuno
tlon. Whether a different man than the
maker placed th bomb and applied the
match to it is likewise unknown. It may
have been a white man or a black man, a
cold-blooded leader of the power that
prey, or a man whose drug-bofuddled brain
ha carried him entirely beyond the pale of
decent society. In the latter case discovery
will not be nearly so easy a It would be If
the first supposition were the true one.
Cleverness is never so clever but that It
slop over, to use a terse expression. In
sanity or degeneracy oftener than not is
accompanied by a cunning that la remark
able, because taking such Improbable turns.
Lunatics, whether of destructive or secre
tive mood, rarely or never have confidants,
or If they do the confidence so given la
false and misleading.
Even If apparently stumped for the mo
ment by the necessity for weighing these
and other surmises and presumptions, that
fact is- not causing the detectives to sit
down and wait for inspiration. Because
startling announcement are not made with
every passing hour as to clews, wholly al
leged or half real, it must not be supposed
that the officers have tired of their task or
abandoned the hunt. For the present It is
being pursued with avidity, although per
force with no definite objective point. Eyen
If the search shall prove altogether barren
of Immediate result It will not be aide
tracked for good and all so long as the
present heads of the police department re
main connected with It. Little things are
not slighted, and perhaps in no recent case
In police annals have so many hours been
ungrudgingly given to tracing to their end
hints and suggestion thst In other caaes
would not have had the slightest attention.
Summed up, the report of the chiefs of
police and detectives to the public this
morning Is: "We have nothing that would
warrant us In saying we are on the right
track, or on any track. Our task is a
difficult one, but we are pursuing It per
sistently. Hoping for an outcome that will
satisfy all the demands of Justice, we are
still not able to forecast what the final re
sult of our efforts will be. We shall do
our best, and when we have said that we
have said all that we can say at this time.
When we get any light the publio will not
be kept In the dark." .
Minister Take Action.
At a meeting on Wednesday the Omaha
Ministerial union appointed a committee to
draft resolutions, and following Is the. result
of the committee's labors:
The Omaha Ministerial union Joins with
all right-minded citizens In expressing Its
abhorence of the cold-blooded attempt to
take the lives of Mr. E. E. Thomas and

because It fell short of its aim.
We declare our conviction that this as
ault la only the natural outcome of the
long era of lawlessness through which
Omaha has been pasa'ng. They that sow
the wind must reap the whirlwind.
We express to Mr. Thomas our sympathy
In the - peril through which he and his

our confidence that he and the Civic Fed

BENDER AND ROTHGEB BOTH SPECTACULAR
Both Finish Foot Ball Career In Blase
of Glory, While Teammates Also
Put Ip a Fleree Article
of the Game.
LINCOLN, Nov. it (Special TelegTam.)
Nebraska university trailed In the dust
the colors of Illinois on the gridiron today,
the Cornhuskers winning a whirlwind vic
tory by a score of 16 to 10, thus establish
ing the claim of equality of foot ball in
I the Missouri valley with that In the "Big
Mm" of the middle west It was the
fiercest and most gruelling struggle ever
witnessed on Nebraska field, and the big
gest crowd, the latter numbering 8.000 en
thusiasts, had assembled to see tt. The
two team were almost equally matched
asto weight, the Illinois having only a
slight advantage, and the tide of battle
surged to and fro, with the Issue In doubt
until the final whistle sounded the ces
sation of play. Illinois honestly outplayed
the Cornhufckers In the first half, but
Booth's pupils as honestly outgeneraled
and outlasted the Illinois In the closing
half, and fairly earned the victory. From
the view point of the spectator, a more
' startling foot ball game was never wit
nessed on Nebraska field. The struggle
abounded In terrific line smashing, fierce
tackling and speedy sprints around the
ends, with the honors practically even be
tween th'e two elevens. Rothgeb, right end
on the Illinois aggTegat, and Bender,
Nebraska's whirlwind quarter back, how
ever, were easily the center figures, ths
work of this pair being thrilling In the ei
treme. The period of service permitted In
collegiate foot ball terminated with both
of these men In today's game and each
ended his career In a - blase of glory.
Bender and Rothaeb Spectacular.
Rothgeb as a ground gainer proved a
veritable demon. H charged the Ne
braska line with the powei of a catapult or
started the end with the speed of a deer.
Yath the Illinois hard pressed for ground
Rothgeb was their chief reliance and most
of the credit for the long march Inaugu
rated by the Illinois, which netted their
second touchdown, belongs to Rothgeb,
whose reckless charges overcame Ne
braska's best efforts to stay. ' .
But Bender' performances were still
more thrilling than those of Rothgeb. W.lth
the tide of battle running against theCoru
husker, the Illinois having scored the first
touchdown. Bender broke Into the lime
light with the longest run of the gome.
Taking the ball on Nebraska's thirty-yard
line he darted around Roth,eb, dodged or
hurdled every tackier who disputed his
progress, and ran eighty yards for the
Cornhuskers' Initial score. Benedict kicked
the goal, and, by virtue of Moynihan's
previous missed goal, gave Nebraska a lead
In which they were not thereafter headed.
Bender was also largely responsible for
Nebraska's third and winning touchdown.
A fake buck at the center of the line
tricked the Illinois tram and Bender was
away like a shot around right end. Sixty
yards he ran before being brought to earth
and when downed the. ball was only ten
yards distant from the Illinois goal. Four
line smashes and a Cornhusker had plunged
out of the last chalk line for the touch
down that demonstrated Nebraska' su
periority. ' Illlnol Score First.
Illinois was first to score, but the battle
had been waged so fiercely and deter
minedly by both teams that twenty-six
minutes had elapsed before the Illinois
had accomplished their aim. The visitors
exhibited a powerful attack and fought
their way to within the shadow of Ne
braska's goal, posts, and as many times
surrendered the ball on downs. Standing
behind his own goal, after the Cornhuskers
had resisted successfully and captured the
ball, Captain Benedict essayed to punt.
The pasa for the center was faulty, the
ball coming to him on a bound, and be
fore he could kick, Fa,irweather had broken
through the line and blocked the punt.
Lonergan, one of the Illinois halfbacks,
dived headlong for the ball and clutched It
for the touchdown. Moynlhan missed the
effort to kick goal.v
' The Cornhusker evened the score al
most after the kick-off, when Bender sped
around Rothgeb and raced eighty yards for
a touchdown on a quarterback run. He
was downed In the corner of the field and
behind -the line, but Benedict kicked out
and C. Mason heeled a fair catcb, from
which Benedict kicked the goal and gave
the Cornhuskers the lead.
The half ended without either eleven
again being able to get within hailing dis
tance of the opposing goal.
Nebraska Grow Stronger,
Nebraska's attack was more fierce In the
second half than that of Illinois had been
In the first half. Taking the ball in the
center of the field, the Cornhuskers fought
their way steadily toward the gcal of tha
Illinois, their offense being a variation of
tackle masses, centei bucks and sprints
around the ends and their advance never
halting until Eager, the midget of the Ne
braska eleven, was hurled through the line
for the second touchdown.
Illinois, however, .fought back with sur
prising, power, the visitors duplicating the
previous march credited to Nebraska by
taking the ball within their own territory
and plunging ahead by a succtsslon of
line smashes which ended In Rothgeb re
gaining ten yards on the final play and
over the Cornhusker goal line. Moynlhan
again missed his kick st goal and Ne
braska retained the lead by the narrow
margin of one point
Bender's Great Sprint.
But Bender' craft and speed still had
not counted to their full value in the
Cornhuskers' favor. With the ball in Ne
braska' possession and on their forty
yard line, Bender signalled for a fake buck
at th center of the Illinois line. The
visitors massed their players to resist the
onslaught, but Bender in a twinkling shot
around their left wing and wa off like a
bullet for th Illlnol goal. Sixty yards he
sprinted before the Illinois backs hemmed
him In on the side lines and brought htm
down. The goal line was only ten yards
distant and the final touchdown was reeled
off by Booth's pupils by a smushlng attack
through the line which Illinois could not
withstand.
js'ot dismayed by the margin against
them, the Illinl displayed a determination
that threatened disastrous results to the
Cornhuskers even to the last. Two quarter,
back runs netted Illinois thirty-five yards
and tha danger of another touchdown for
the visitors loomed up ahead of Booth's
proteges, but Rothgeb fumbled the ball
after ten-yard charge, and Johnson, Ne
braska's negro left end, saved the day for
the Cornhuskers by safely clutching the
coveted oval. Nebraska Immediately
kicked psst the center of the field and
the linesman's whistle soon sounded the !

the belief that more important operation 1
than heretofore may be progressing. Re
ports from correspondents st th front In
rtloato renewed skirmishing, culminating
the night of November 23 In a fresh attack
on Poutiloff (tone Tree) hill In which the
Japanese were repulsed with heavy loss,
and also a severe fight with Chinese bandit
near Kaluan, In which 300 Chinese were
killed. . .
Japs Attack I .one Tree tllll.
MCKDEN. Nov. 24. The Jspanese mad
a fresh attack on Poutiloff hill the night
of November 22. Their advancing ranks
were decimated by the Russian shell fir.
Some of the Japanese secured lodgment
on the slopes of the hill, but were driven
out at the point of the bayonet, while th
whole Japanese contingent fled. A similar
attempt was made the same night outh
of Erdagsou, which also waa repulsed with
a bayonet charge.
The Japanese lost heavily, while th
Russian loss was thirty killed.'
A band of 1,500 Chinese bandits, with all
guns, under Japanese officers, coming from
the direction of the Llao river wa In
conflict with three companies of bordr
scouts near the station of Kaluan early on
the morning of November 23; The scouts
charged without giving the bandlta' baW -
tcry time to come Into action. The bandits
made feeble resistance and fled Inall di
rections, leaving 200 of their number dead.
Tho Russian loss was trifling. -
A Japanese column of two companies
attempted to penetrate the Russian eastern
flank on November 23, hut wa met by two
squadrons of Russian cavalry and drives
off with severe lose.
Konropatkln May Take Offensive. .'
The artillery has been silent for two
day. The opinion prevails that If th
Japanese do not attack General KouropaU
kin will take the offensive again.
Much difficulty Is being experienced with
camp followers, mostly Caucasian,- Tar
tars and other tribesmen from th Cau
casus. They swagger around In cloaks
and fur hats, with daggers at their belts,
and have committed so many depreda
tions that severe measures baVS MM
adopted to got rid of them. ' .
Jap Capture Cargo of Meat.
CHE FOO, Nov. 24. ( p. m.) A bug
pile of coal near the railway .station at
Port Arthur was Ignited by Japanese
shells on November 20, and, according to
Chinese arriving here by Junk today, It
wa still burning when they left th be
sieged town on November 22. A Japanese
torpedo boat destroyer overhauled ,thl
Junk, but allowed It to proceed. 'Anojther
Junk with six Hindoos on board wa tikeir"
ashore, where the Junk wa burned. wTh
passengers were sent to Dalny.
The report that the nteamer Tungcho-w,
laden with 30,000 tins of meat, was cap
tured by the Japanese yesterday whll
trying to enter Port Arthur appears to be
correct. The Tungchow was a British ves
sel and belonged to Butterfleld & Swlr of -Shanghai.
Last Monday ' when leaving
Shanghai It was transferred at the last mo
ment to a man believed to be acting for
the Russian government. '
