The Turk ish authorities having refused to grant an exequatur to Dr. Thomas H. Nor ton to act as United States, consul at Harpoot, the indications point to some retaliatory measures on the part of our government in the near future. The Turkish contention now is that they permitted a United States consulate to be established at Erzeroum under an implied understanding that the United States would abandon its claim to a consulate at Harpoot. That there was some shadow of foundation for this understanding is admitted; but it is still the purpose of the United States to establish this consulate, because the British government has since been per mitted to locate a consul at Harpoot and, under the favored nation clause of our treaty with Turkey, the United States government claims the same commercial privileges as Great Britain. There is, besides, a peculiarly potent reason for the presence of a United States representative at Har poot, for at that point is located some of the most important and nourishing American missionary and educational interests in Turkey. Moreover, being located in the Armenian district, it is extremely desirable. that our govern ment should hare some impartial rep resentative to watch over the interests of American citizens there. Trie last adverse decision of the Turk ish government in this matter has not modified the orders to the big battle ship Kentucky to proceed from Naples to Smyrna. She sailed to-day and should arrive at Smyrna, in the ordi nary course, Monday or Tuesday next. It is", of course, not expected that the ship is to make war single handed on Turkey, but it is thought that the- mo ral influence of this exhibition of American naval power may be benefi cial in settling the question of exe quatur aa well as the long pending mis sionary claims against Turkey. Porte Firm fa Its Refusal. Constantinople, Friday. Nov. 33. -United States Charge d'Affaires Gris com called upon Tewfik Pasha, min ister for foreign affairs yesterday, to urge a settlement of the difficulty in relation to the granting of an exquator to Dr. Thomas H. Norton, who some time ago was appointed by President McKin ley to establish a consulate at Harpoot. The Porte, however, is firm in its refusal to grant the request for aa exquator. REVENUE TAX LAW. Isjpertsat Changes ta Be Made The Scheldt B Will Practically Be Wised Out. Bt rieerDb to tae Morulas Star. Washington, Nov. 84. The sub committee Republican membership of the Ways and Means committee, held a short session to-day and adjourned until Monday. The subcommittee has not yet completed the draft of the revenue bill, but is making progress. It is stated that it is not likely that the general outlines agreed upon will be changed before the bill goes to the full committee, unless there is a great pressure among Republican members aa they arrive in the city. It is under stood that in addition to reductions heretofore mentioned the increase of 60 cents per thousand on cigars will be removed, also, that the stamp taxes on steamship tickets will be taken off, because the revenue received does not justify the difficulties or collection. Members of the committee have been asked to remove the stamp taxes on foreign bills of exchange and bills of lading and it is possible that the matter may be re opened.

The tax, also, prob ably, will be removed from convey ances, mortgages, etc. These, with the abolishment of taxes on express receipts, telegrams, bank checks, and some other stamp taxes, will, it is said, secure the reduction of $30, 000,000, which is the amount agreed upon by the treasury officials and the commit tee. FOOT BALL AT NORFOLK. fi C Uiirerslty Teas Defeated by Vir-fisis-Scare 17 to 0-Seven Then- to UM Hornlns Star. Norfolk, Va, November 24 An enthusiastic crowd of about 7,000 saw the Virginia University team defeat the North Carolina University at League park this afternoon by the score of 17 to 0. North, Carolina's centre waa a tower of strength, but the team from the Old North State waa not so strong on the ends, and the interference was not what it should have been. They fought hard, however, bat Virginia waa too much for them. Virginia played a Juick snappy game from the start to nish, and carried the ball down the field as they pleased In less than five minutes after the first kick off the Orange and Blue scored a touch down and goal, and from that time until thn end of the game it was all one way. Virginia scored twelve in the first half and five in the second. The play ing of Walker and Dabney for Vir ginia were noteworthy features that of the latter being especial ly brilliant, sua runs being remarkable. Several men on both sides were in jured, but not seriously. Both teams and their friends were tendered a re caption to-atfsat at the Country Club. AH IHPOBT1NT DI OB.

An Enthusiastic Greeting to the . Boer President by Cheer ing Thousands. GREAT SYMPATHY SHOWN. No Display of Anti-British Seatlaeat. Mr. Krager's Address Formal Re ceetiea by PresMeat Loaaet, of the Preach Republic. Dy Came to the nornloa Star. Paris, Nov. 24. The city of Paris welcomed Mr. Kruger to day in a whole-hearted manner, according him a sincere reception at the railroad sta tion and showing by the cheering of the crowds along the route that he was cordially welcome and had the sym pathy of the populace. The thorough fares through which Mr. Kruger passed were not lavishly decorated, but a few flags were flying and the hotel was nicely decorated, while from early morning the street hawkers did not permit the pedestrians to forget that it was Kruger day. All sorts of yjdjgaia were offered for sale. Small Boer flags, badges of the Boer colors, and scarf-pins of the same character were called out on the boulevards, and lucky were the salesmen, for almoat every one wore a Boer emblem. By 10 o'clock the sidewalks began to fill, while in the vicinity of the rail road station and about the hotel Scribe the crowds constantly increased in size. Small squads of municipal guards, on foot and mounted, were continally passing, in evidence of the fact that the government was taking stringent precautions to prevent trouble. On tae fiace la Basune. a few Nationalist groups collected, but they were soon dispersed. Enthusiastic Greeting. Over the entire route from the sta tion to the hotel enthusiastic cries greeted Mr. Kruger. Shout after shout arose until there was a continuous roar of cheering. When the Boer President entered the cleared area in front of the hotel the demonstration was uproarious. Mr. Kruger, bare headed, bowed on all sides, while the air waa rent with cries of "Vive Kruger!" "Vive les Boers!" Mr. Kruger quickly alighted from his car riage and entered the hotel, but the mass of spectators was not satisfied and the people shouted, yelled and clapped their hands in chorus until a window of the balcony was raised and Mr. Kruger appeared. Then hats were again thrown into the air and the shouting was resumed with renewed vigor. Handkerchiefs and flags were waved and the greatest enthusiasm prevailed. The scene be fore the hotel continued for over an hour. A body of students bearing flags attempted to march past the hotel, but were stopped. Nothing 'daunted, the students broke into cries and songs until Mr. Kruger again appeared in response to their demonstration, after which he retired for luncheon. A sight which stirred the feelings of the crowd to the utmost was the appearance on the balcony of the great grandchildren of Mr. Kruger, waving a Boer flag. The little ones were cheered to the echo as, held aloft by a servant, they unrolled the Boer colors. A Anti-British Sentiment. Through all this welcome the anti- British sentiment did not appear. The cries were confined to Mr. Kruger and the Boers. If there were any shouts opposed to Great Britain they were not heard in the general tu mult. There was but one incident hav iug any resemblance of this sort. Opposite the hotel is an English store, and on its balcony stood many specta tors. When Mr. Kruger appeared on the balcony of the hotel some one in the crowd noticed that those on the store balcony wore their hats. Imme diately a cry of "Hate off!" waa directed at them, and the men on the balcony, appreciating the situation, un covered. Mr. Krager's Speech. Replying to the address of the Paris Boer committee, at the railroad station, Mr. Kruger said : "I am deeply touched by the sym pathy the populations of all the French towns I have passed through have displayed towards me by such striking demonstration?. I have seen gathering on my soil thousands of Frenchmen and I thereby realized that all Frenchmen, like myself, are convinced of the justice of our caus. We are seeking to maintain our independence, feeling that the inde pedence of the people in itself guaran tees peace. It is in order to obtain this peace, founded on liberty and justice, that we are struggling on the soil of the two republics, and that I myself have come to Europe. Never will I dream of soliciting the least favor of an unjust character. I have clearly proved this by never ceasing to ask for arbitration, and that is what I still demand. "In order to accomplish this work, I rely on the good offices of the peo ple, and especially on the sympathy of the French people." Mr. Kruger, at his hotel, received in nnirl mMwiAB m. number of deDUta tions, including one from the Nation alist deputies, headed by MM.Millevoye aad Laaiee. He afterwards received the Prefect of Police, M. Lepine, and If n VillAhma Marcuil. a brother of the famous French colonel who was killed in South Africa while fighting for the Boers. M. Crozier called to announce that ProsiHsnt T .mi hot was t re Dared to re ceive Mr. Kruger at 4 o'clock, and the tired traveller prepared himself to visit the Elyaee. w nile tne crowa neiore toe hotel decreased somewhat during the fUnuwm a rvnnaidprahle concourse re mained, shouting for the Boers and Mr. Kruger. .Tnat before 4 o'clock a landau from .

He also wore the cross of the Legion of Honor. M. Loubet returned Mr. Kruger s visit at 4.-40 P. M. The French Presi dent was warmly acclaimed during his drive to the Hotel Senbe, and dur ing his stay at the hotel the crowds raised alternate shouts of "Vive Kruger" and "Vive Loubet. " After President Loubet's departure sir.

Considered Impregnable Two Americans Killed aad Twelve Woaaded rassr geat Less Uakaowa. Br Cable to the Morning Star. Manila, Nov.; 84. The fortress of the Insurgent chief Geronimo, at Pinauran, which the insurgents boasted was impregnable, was taken and destroyed Thursday afternoon by a picked force of the Forty second and Twenty-seventh infantry and troop "G" of the Fourth cavalry, under Col. Thompson. Geronimo and moat of the rebels escaped. The leader has long harassed the Twenty seventh in fantry, operating in the vicinity of San Mateo, Montalban, and Nova liches. He was finally located at Pil lauran. thirty-five miles north of Ma nila. His position was considered the strongest in Luzon. It was a stone fortress, surmounting a steep hill sur rounded by canyons. The Spanish forces lost heavily in attempting to take it . Col. Thompson mobilized 1,000 men at Montalban. The attack was made upon four aides. The remain body, under Major Carey, of the Forty-second, ad vanced from the south; Captain Atkin son, of the Twenty-seventh from the east; Captain Casteel, of the Twenty seventh, from the west, and Captain Sloan, of the Twenty-seventh, from th north. The ascents were steep, and the men climbed them by grasping the shrubbery. It was impossible for the eastern column to reach the summit, but the others arrived after three hours climbing, under fire from the fortress and the hillside entrench -m menta. The enemy's force, number ing several hundred, fled before the attackers reached the top. The Amer icans destroyed a thousand insur Knt uniforms, scores of buildings and rge quantities of supplies and seized a barrel full of documents. Private Hart, of the Twenty seventh, and private Koppner, of the Forty second, and two scouts were killed, and twelve of the attacking force were wounded. The insurgent casualties could not be ascertained. Lieut Frederick W. Alsatetter, of the United States engineering corps, who was recently released by the in surgents, arrived in Manila this even ing. He hsd been in captivity since August 1st Gen. Funs ton surren dered the rebel Major Vantuz on the release of Lieut Alsatetter. The latter is well, and says that he received fair treatment. He escaped on September 21st, but was recaptured. It is unofficially reported that Gen. Torres, the insurgent commander at Bulucan, has been captured by General Grant's scouts.. General Grant wired Wheaton that the entire garrison at San Jose had been captured, but General Torres was not among them. YALE VERSUS HARVARD. Annual Foot Ball Contest Vale Scored a Victory To the Tune of 28 to Nothing. By Telegraph to the Moraine Star. New Haven, Conn., Nov. 24 Vic tory long delayed perched upon the blue banner of old Yale to day when the foot ball team of the New Haven University smothered the crimson of fair Harvard in the annual foot ball contest played at Yale field. For the first time since 1894, Yale scored a victory over Harvard, and to-day she took sweet revenge for Harvard's mer ciless performance in New Haven two years ago, when the crimson rejoiced over the blue by the score of 17 to 0. To day Yale administered to Harvard a Waterloo to the tune of 28 to 0. It was Yale from the first kick.off, and the warriors of the blue seemed bent on punishing Harvard to the limit. In the first half Yale scored two touchdowns. In the second half she repeated this performance, and in ad dition to tearing Harvard to pieces for two touchdowns. Sharpe. the Yale half back, lifted a field goal from the 25-yard limit The second half was akilling one for Captain Daly's men and it was not long before they began to give way be fore unprecedented onslaughts of the Yale men. Burnett had succeeded Lee just before the first half ended. Shortly after the kick-off of the second period the crimson supporters were thrown into a panic when Daly, who had been limping, went to the side lines and Harvard had lost her captain. In rapid succession Harvard's men surrendered, and before the game waa over the crimson team had played twenty men. The only Yale man to leave was Olcott, the centre, who with five minutes to play had sustained a blow on the head and Holt took his place. The scoring of the second half was of the spectacular order. Yale's goal was never in danger. Harvard not once reaching a point nearer than the Yale thirty-yard line. Throughout the game Yale retained possession of the bail three-quarters of the time, and when it fell to Harvard's lot on infrequent occasions to try an advance, her line plays and end for mations were thrown back.

His First Public Utterance Since the Recent Presidential Election. AT FOUNDERS' DAY BANQUET. The Election aad the Things That It Set tied Unquestioned Endorsement of the Gold Standard -American Sorereiraty In Philippines. By Telegraph to the Moraine Star. Philadelphia, Pa., Jtfov. 24. Pres ident McKinley waa to-night the guest of honor at the "Founders Day" ban quet of the Union League, one of the oldest and most influential Bepnblican organizations in the country. In addi tion to Mr. McKinley, there were present Theodore Roosevelt, vice prts ident elect; the members of the cabi net, with the exception of Secretary Root, who is in Cuba, and Senators L tdge and Wolcott. Raw, cloudy weather greeted the President upon his arrival, but these inclement conditions did not dampen the ardor of a patriotic public, which turned out in force to greet the re elected chief executive. President McKinley's reception was most enthusiastic and much import ance was attached to his address, as it was his first public utterance since bis recent victoryv The Presi dent's time was fully occupied from his arrival until late to night. After driving. through several of the princi pal streets of the city he was enter tained at the residence of E. T. Stotes bury, a prominent financier of this city. Following this Mr. McKinley was escorted to the Union League where he held an informal reception and sat at the banquetting board. At the conclusion of the dinner, the President held a reception, when the members of the Union League indi vidually paid their respects to him. At mid night the President returned to Washington. Numerous speeches were made du ring the evening and those second in point of importance to that of the President were delivered by Governor Roosevelt and Senators Lodge and Wolcott. Mr. McKinley said, in part : i "We cannot over estimate the great importance and the far-reaching con sequences of the electoral contest which ended on the 6th of November. It has to me no personal phases. It is not the triumph of an individual, nor alto gether of a party, but an emphatic declaration of the people of what they believe and would have maintained in government. A great variety of sub jects was presented and discussed in the progress of the campaign. "We may differ as to the extent of the influence of the several issues in volved, but we are all agreed as to cer tain things which it settled. "It records the unquestioned en dorsement of the gold standard, indus trial independence, broader markets, commercial expansion, reciprocal trade, the open-door in China, the in -violabihty of public faith, the indepen dence and authority of the judiciary, and peace and beneficent government under American sovereignty in the Philippines. American credit remains unimpaired, the American name unim paired, the honor of American arms unsullied, and the obligations of a righteous war and treaty of peace un repudiated. "The Republican party has placed upon it tremendous responsibilites. No party could ask for a higher ex pression of confidence. It is a great thing to have this confidence; it will be a greater thing to deserve and hold tt. To this party are committed new and grave problems. They are two exalted for partisanship. The task of settlement is for the whole American people. Who will say they are un equal to it? "Liberty has not lost but gained in strength. The structure of the fathers stands secure upon the foundations on which they raised it, and is to day, as it has been in the years past and as it will be in the years to come, the gov ernment of the people, by the people, and for the people. Be not dis turbed, there is no dahger from em pire, there is no fear for the republic." Roosevelt's Speech. Governor Rosoevelt followed Presi dent McKinley. He said in part: "There is no doubt about our posi tion before the election, and there is no doubt about it now. We are going -ing to carry on the policy that has been pursued during the peat four years. It has been the signal good fortune of this nation, on the first ac casion when it mixed in the world's politics, to fix the standard to which the other nations of the world will come in dealing with the affairs of the great Asiatic nation. We have kept the currency sound. We have kept the gold standard for the past four years, and it will be kept in the coming years. And the nation has decided that the flag shall float over the Philippine islands. Peace shall come in them ; a constant ly increasing measure of self govern ment shall be given them; but first of all order must be restored in them." Senators Lodge and Woolcott then spoke and a number of other speakers were then successively presented. FRANCISCAN SISTERS Will Devote Their Pntare Lives to Minis tering to Lepers io Hawaii Islands.

Landslide la West Vbglala Plve Mines Involved Narrow Escape of Miners Eaieleyed in the Works. 'di T.terDh to the Morning Star Pabkkrsburg , West Va , Novem ber 24. -Terrific rumblings and reports startled tbe citizens of Bingamon Creek, some distance from Shinnston, at 6 o'clock yesterday. They rushed from their homes and beheld the hill side caving in, and a great avalanche of earth, stone and coal rolling toward the creek. It seemed that the crust of the whole earth was being broken by some subterranean force, and the spec tators contemplated an earthquake with dire results. At daylight it was seen that five coal mines in that vicinity had been utterly destroyed. The strata of limestone above the coal had been rent and the bluff of the hill, half a mile long and seventy feet deep, precipitated to Bigamon creek below, a distance of 100 feet, forcing the stream out of its natural course some distance. Many of the boulders in the avalanche were thirty feet long and (en feet thick:, and contained 3,000 cubic feet. Many large trees came down with the rocks. The bluff just adjacent has a crevice about forty feet long, and eight feet wide at the greater end. It is expected to fall shortly, and destroy an other mine. Quite a number of miners employed in the mines tnat were de stroyed were on their way to the mines when the disturbance occurred, and were fortunate in such a narrow escape from death. They could not have been rescued. The destroyed mines had been worked a great many years, but were properly propped and in excellent condition. The cause of the a valance his unknown. The dam age is estimated to involve a loss of about H300.000. Many men will be thrown out of employment indefin itely owing to the destruction of the mines. ALL ON BOARD PERISHED. Steamer St. Olsf Wrecked and Sank on tbe St. Lawrence River The Crew and Passengers Lost. By Telegraph to the Merning star. Quebec, Nov. 24. News reached here early this afternoon that the steamer St. Olaf, which has been coasting this port and Point of Aux Esquimaux, in the lower St. Lawrence, for the last two years, had become a total wreck oil Seven Islands and that her crew was entirely lost. Captain L ruaistre, in command of the steamer, and several of . his officers and crew b longed to this city. The first dis patch from Seven Islands brought but very meagre news and it was only late in the afternoon that Messrs. A. Frazier & Company, owners of the steamer, were informed of the extent of the disaster. Besides the nineteen men of the steamer's crew, it was learned that seven passengers had also perished. The St. Olaf was an iron steamer of 350 tons and was built on the Clyde at Port Glasgow in1882. She was valued at about $40,000 and insured for $20,000. As soon as the news of the wreck reached Seven Islands, a search ing party went out to attempt to rescue any of the shipwrecked people if possible, but it was impossible, as every one board the vessel seems to have been lost.

Br Telegraph to tte Horniest 8tar Naw York, November 24 A call for a meeting to consider how to purify the city was sent out after Bishop Potter's address on "God and the City" yesterday, and received to day by a large number of prominent citizens. The address is signed by Abram S. Hewitt, Charles Stewart Smith, Levi P. Morton and others. The address reads: "The agitation which has for some time been made in several important quarters to assure ways and means through which it would be possible to suppress the vice which has become so rampant in many parts of this city, is well understood without requiring explanation. "It appears important, so that these divers efforts shall become utilized for the single purpose of purifying the communitv from the vice which no doubt exists in it, that independent actionbe taken, supervising what is being done to that end. For tbe purpose of conferring on the existing situation, jou are respectfully invited to attend a meeting to be held at the room of the Chamber of Commerce on Tuesday evening." M. Warley Platsek, of Richard Cro- ker s purity committee, announced to day that something "very forcible' was going to happen in police circles. "And it is going to happen soon," he said. "The evidence we are now col lecting is for our own information, and not for the public.
