Womble failing to gain gave Stanford the ball. On the next play Kisher was thrown by Albcrtse-n for a loss of two, and after Traeger pinched one at right tackle. Hill punted and Overall blocked the kick, causing it to hound back of the goal lino Into Fisher's hands, and before Kisher could get ick ever the line he was tackled by three Califor-nlans, thus scoring a safety for the Blue out IiiikmI iiii I'nur 1.t 4 If the Government Buys the Danish West Indies the Kaiser Will Get No Coaling Station the Caribbean, TERMS ON WHICH DENMARK WILL SELL Inhabitants Must Be Received as Citizens of United States and Given Free Trade as Soon as Possible, iTEMPORARY TARIFF MAY BE IMPOSED Formal Offer Has Been Received, and the President Must Decide What Action He Will Recommend to Congress Sprrinl by h'srl wit, the tantt In the worW.l WASIUNT.TON, N-vrml tT Pres- Id. nt will ive to di i ide in a few days the important question of purvhaMrs the D.uil.-h West on terms proposed by Denmark and which have the past iweuty-four hcur leui received by this' (lovernmcnt.

Payne's Purpose to Cut Internal Revenue $8,000,000 Annually Will Not Bo Satisfactory to the Pres dent. lS'irlal hy leased wire, the longest la thP world. WASHINGTON, November President Roosevelt, who is irrevocably pledged to the policy of President MeKinley. is now facing a vigorous attack all along the line by the apostles of high tariff, who a treasury surplus piled up for various schemes, foremost among which is the ship subsidy. It was learned to-day that Mr.

Payne, chairman of the House Ways aajd Means Committee, proposes a cut of eight millions annually in the Internal revenue taxes. There is every reason to believe this will not satisfy the President. It is probable, therefore, that he will be found favoring the Babcock bill, which is aimed at tba enormous profits of the steel trust by reason of protection. He will do his utmost to bring about 4 revision of the high tariff taxes, which wer established for the protection of "infant Industries." now grown to giant proportions and underselling all compe'ltors in the markets of the world. The attempt of the hiith-Uriff advocates to switch the issue by advocating a reduction of the revenue taxes as th proper method of reducing enormous surplus which is rolling up i'i the treasury will rot satisfy the people wes' cf the Ohio riverine great agricultural dUtnct.

where the opposition to a high proue-ive tariff is growing every day and the President recognizes as fully as did Mr. MeKinley that the ui mauds of these people cannot Jl'nlcJ- The high-tariff people are undoubtedly expecting that the coming session of Con gress will be notable for enormous disbursements of Government funds. Senator Hanna's sententious remark that he "would help spend" some of the surplus means, of course, that i looking out for the ship subsidy bill. He will Had. however, thai Congress will not appropriate money, na matter ho largo the surplus, for a ship subsidy that ipflts i idy rich eorpor.n.- tions.

Fumbl ncj is to be expected in wet weather. It adds zim and zip to the play. I notice that in comparison th Eastern teams that the defensive work is relatively better developed than the offensive. This applies to both teams. It seems to me that Eastern teams score more rapidly.

That is where there is a rj ven difference in quality. The play on both sides to-day seems to me to have been excellent and abounding in exciting incidents. Plenty of kicking always adds interest to a football game. There was 'io part of the game I personally enjoyed better than the excellent interference wh ch accompanied plays around the end. It is a gr.eat pleasure to me that we have such sturdy, honorable antagonists as the students of Stanford University.

I myself would be glad to see a trial of the best two in three games replace the one annual contest. When we consider the special conditions on this Coast, it would be well to try the experiment.

showed little lift, and the constant sozzlo was making the field heavier every minute. California came on three minutes after Stanford. Supporters of the blue, and gold seemed to think that tho lle-rkeloy boys were hardly as fast In their practice play as the heavier youths from Palo Alto. The ball became slippery and treacherous in no time. A game of flukes and fumbles was predicted.

The old familiar Osky-Wow-Wow!" came from the California benches with a mighty encouragement, and at 3 minutes to 3 o'clock Overall kicked off for Berkeley against the stiff southerly wind. It was a good kick, and the blue and gold shouters yelled their glee. Slater ran the ball In as if ho had been fired from a catapult, and was laid out for a minute or more by the fierceness of the tackling. Stanford had the ball on her own 20-yard line in this Initial play. Then, right In front of the California rooters, California's line held like a wall- Stanford was forced to punt.

Hill puntei poorly and California had the ball 31 yards from the Stanford goal. She made her five yards in two bucks, driving the rooters crazy. Again the distance was won in two downs, and those rooters lost all notion of concert and precision in their mad joy. tDown the the 15-yard line to the 10-yard line, California forced the ball. "Oh, if we can only make it now," breathed the substitutes on the sido lines.

It looked as though the blue and gold surely would score, but at last Stanford clenched her teeth and stood her ground, getting the ball on downs. She punted and downed the California back on her 40-yard line. The danger seemed over, and Stanford unloosed a wondrous yell to let her pent feelings have vent. Then California fumbled, and was forced to punt. Down went her ends Pike a flash, and the Stanford full-back was spraddled on the 10-yard line.

Again Stanford punted, and California took up the offensive play on her rival's 30-yard line. Dut Stanford's line held like an embankment, and the cardinal won the ball. She prepared to punt out of all possible danger. Hill got back and gave the signal. Everybody expected to see the ball go sailing down past the center of the field.

It was felt that the thrill point was passed. THE SENSATION EXPLODED-But of a sudden the sensation exploded. The punt was blocked. Back bounded the ball straight back. Stanford and California players raced for it, straining every nerve.

Over the goal line It tumbled. A Stanford man got It He was downed in his tracks. At once a roar of roars went un. The blue if 't1 A vvi sr rff H. Hamilton.

They didn't offer much that was new, save some variations In their yells and the great crop tff cardinal megaphones shown by Stanford. Their bands blared, the yell leaders worked themselves into frenzy, the cheering was full of ring and roar. President Benjamin Ide Wheeler was there to encourage California. President David Starr Jordan was not on view. It was noticed that no one showed on the roofs of the glass works.

The absence gave many a shudder as the thoughts went back to the horror of last year's game a horror which shocked the world. A score-board was provided at the eastern fence. That score-board has been yearned for this many a year by the people who are only half familiar with the play. The Information offered by that board was a splendid concussion of skill to ignorance. Many people prominent o' nights at the Doll Show and who will he on view af the opera, braved the rain.

ThoiiRh the tiers of seats in tho covered stand looked less like a bank of flowers than usual, they were quite pretty enough, if there had "oetn no other similar scenes for comparison, while the drizzle and tho excitement made many eyes blighter and complexions fairer. Of course the game dfd not begin on schedule time. The amateur managers are not up to that achievement yet. But it was only a little more than fifteen minutes after the time set fnr the kick-off when Stanford's lusty heroes ran out upen the field. They were greeted with a mighty rush of Bound and the rooters began to give forth even stranger cries than those that had gone before.

The Stanford megaphones carried deafening yells into the opposite stands. STANFORD MEN CONFIDENT. Stanford's men went at their practice with a vim. They seemed confident and trained for a tremendous contest. It was noticed, however, that unless the ball struck on its end on the heavy ground it ley and promises within a year to be furnishing Oakland, Alameda and Berkeley -tfh wntpr fnr tun-thirrt 1 Vi ratr rhnrpnH by the Contra Costa Water Company.

The preliminary survey of the region I water system will be built has been com-I menced. Promoter Hanford declares that active work on the plant with which he pro- poses to supplant the Contra Costa Water Company will begin by the 1st of March. An outlay of $2,500,000, he says, will make I tho new company an active competitor of the old monopoly before the winter of next Isabel valley, from which Mr. Hanford purposes to draw 20,000,090 gallons of water day, lies to the east and south of the Lick Observatory. The drainage for mllc3 around pours into the valley.

Hanford plans to enlarge a lake In this valley and store the millions of gallons of water that are wasted during the winter. The ca- paclty of this natural reservoir Is about 16,000,000,000 gallons, enough water to fur-j nish 20,000,000 gallons a day for more than two years. "Within a year I hope to have our new water system In operation," said Mr. Han-I ford yesterday. "The surveying Is progress ing rapidly and the actual work of constructing the pipe lines will begin, I think, by March 1st.

Unless some unforeseen development delays us, I am confident that our water will hi in use in all the cities around the bay before another year has A. Otis of the Cleveland banking firm of his name is associated with me in the in vestment, and other Eastern capitalists are interested. Considering the magnitude of the undertaking the outlay is comparatively small. I estimate that the whole ystem will not cost over $2,500,000. Al- ready I have disposed of contracts for elec-Jtric power to be delivered in this city.

These will pay a dividend on the cost of construction, "The phase of the scheme that I have Just mentioned is extremely important. We will obtain our water from the reservoir in the Isabel valley, practically an inexhaustible supply. Streams from all the surrounding country empty into this valley. From the. lake our pipe lines will wind in 'and out through the hills to the head of 'Calaveras valley, near Milpitas.

From that 'point we will drop the water down into the valley. One of our power-houses will be located there. lj "The elevation at which we obtain the in Isabel valley is so great that we an deliver it by gravity in San Jose, Oakland, Alameda and Berkeley. Our electric plant will consume in the neighborhood of gallons a day. This is almost enough to supply all the cities I have named.

Our supply is not large enough to supply San Francisco. "The water that I intend to devote to our purposes, now eventually finds its way into ijthe mains of the old company. In taking such an amount of water from Its system we cripple it severely. I think; but, according to the laws of the State, we are rjwell within our rights. I think I can prom-tw the residents across the bay that they will be using purer water at a greatly re-i uced price before another year." and gold colors waved extravagantly over all the throng except the grim and silent Stanford brnrhes.

For that was a safety touchdown and meant two points for California. Could the shouters have looked a little Into the future i they would have been still madder with their noise, for that, was the play of plays, and the game was wou. Then the ball was worked back and forth. Once Stanford became dangerous, and Trae-ger tried for a place kick goal from forty-four yards. He kicked straight and true, and for a moment It looked ns though he were going to repeat the play which won the garao for Stanford last year- But the ball was soggy, and the kick fell ten yards short of tho goal.

In a punting duel. Overall had tbe better of Hill, even against the wind. California's ends were quicker In getting down, too, and soon Overall had his chance for a place kick goal from Stanford's twenty-four-yard line. lie couldn't have asked a fairer chance, but he kicked badly, and Stanford's danger was over again. The first half closed with the score 2 to 0 in California's favor, nnd while the muddy athletes rested the bands played, the shouters shouted and the people wondered whether Stanford could show superior "condition" and win out In the last half.

SPECTACULAR END RUNS. But she had no points of superiority to show. Womble and Mini made some spectacular end runs for California. Stanford lost Hill, for slugging, but California soon lost her giant Overall for the same cause, and Mini had to retire. But it was Stanford's territory that was invaded nearly all the time, and Stanford's goal was menaced more than once- Punts were blocked, there was much off-side play and the people ever had a feeling that something sensational and unlooked-for might occur at any time.

But it didn't occur. The minutes crept on. California played for time. At last the whistle blew, the game was over, and California had won the great battle in the rain by that little score of 2 to 0. By Edward Under drizzling sky, on a sloppy field, In a desperate game, California yistcrday defeated Stanford by a score of 2 to 0.

It was a very little victory, but California says, "It 1h our little one," and is quite as happy ns if the figures had bceu larger. There was enough of thrill and anxiety, of stubbornness and heroism for a far heavier score. And though the figures were so small there is no doubt the best team won. Though the one little "safety" which decided the contest was something in the nature of a "iluke," California played most of tho game in Stanford territory and' was superior in nearly every point of play. And all this was unexpected, and it is the unexpected which gives peculiar snap and zest to football victory.

The Stanford men were heavier. The experts said that on a muddy gridiron the beef would be sure to tell. The betting was in favor of Stanford by 5 to .1. And yet the plucky Californinns overcame the supposed handicap" cf a wet field, offset the superiority of brawn by a superiority of snap and team work and won the money for those whose patriotism or judgment led them to "back the short end" to put their trust In the under dog. There had bftu some doubt ns to how the people would turn out.

Hitherto the games have been played on the Thanksgiving holiday. It was feared that on a workday the crowds could not be induced to turn out. But the crowds were there; not in quite the same numbers, but making up a mighty throng. The drizzle dampened the color scheme, interfered with the wearing of toilettes and made the scene less brilliant than usual. The mushroom field of un-brcllas on the bleachers touched that section with somberness.

Still, the old feeling was there, and it is feeling which makes people sit in the rain to watch the struggle of rival athletes. Women sat there bareheaded in the drip, shielding their hats and risking pneumonia, but careless as to consequence and ecstatic. The "rooters" had their usual places..
