LONDON, Nov. 23. —The sudden fit
of energy which urged the Sultan of
Turkey into doing something towards
suppressing anarchy in Asia Minor, a
result of the Marquis of Salisbury’s
mansion house speech, seems to have
spent its force and Abdul Hamid is
said to have relapsed into his usual
lethargic state. Deports of fresh mas
sacres have reached here from many
parts of tne disturbed empire and in
brief, the eastern question, does not
appear to be as near solution as it has
during Die early part of the week.
, There has been little chance in the
nature of the problem before the pow
ers how’ever. Their mutual suspi
cions are acting as drags upon them
and delay decided action upon their
part, though the belief still prevails
that nothing short of drastic meas
ures will bring the Sultan to terms for
any length of time. This step, how
ever, will not lie adopted until all hope
of a loyal enforcement of the reforms
which Abdul Hamid solemnly promis
ed to adopt is gone.

Yale Won in a Great Game by a Score
of 20 to 10.
NEW YORK, Nov. 23, One of the
greatest foot-ball games ever played
on any field took place to-day between
the elevens’ of Yale and Princeton.
Fully 25,000 people w itnessed the con
test and the enthusiasm increased from
the time the ball was first kicked off,
until time was called at the end of the
second half, when the score stood 20
to 10 in Yale's lovor. The day dawned
bright and clear and was such a one
as to delight the heart of any man who
had ever seen a contest on the gridiron
field.
By the time the game was started
not a vacant seat remained in any of
the grand stands and hardly any stand
ing room.
The preliminary practice was short
and spirited for both sides and at 2:10
o’clock a coin was flipped which de
termined which of the Captains should
have the choice of ball or goal.
Captain Thorn won the toss and
chose the eastern goal, giving his rival
the ball. A momentary hush prevailed
as Captain Lea placed the ball at the
centre of the gridiron for the kick off,
and as the leather sailed away over the
heads of the Yale players it became
the point on which all eyes were forced.
The great star player in to-day’s
struggle was the light haired Captain
of the Yale team, and he covered him
self with glory and won for himself a
name which w ill be repeated with awe
by future generations of football
cranks. The manner in which he
bucked the tiger line was phenominal,
as was his long runs around the end.
Time and again he received the pig
skin from Baird’s punts and advanced
the ball for long gains, and once he
started from the Princeton thirty-five
yard line and carried the ball to a
touch down through the entire Prince
ton contingent, with practically no in
terference, Fineke was also a good
ground gainer for Yale and plaved a
steady game at the quarter back posi
tion. Notwithstanding his lightness
he often succeeded in advancing the
ball with several tiger players liang
ing upon him. Bass broke throgb the
petition line and secured the leather
on fumble by Lea and made one of the
most brilliant and effective plays of the
game, for he was able to run away
from his pursuers and made a loneli
down after covering fifty yards. ( Imd
wiek did some remarkable blocking as
did Rogers ami demons also. Dewitt
was not used to the full extent of his
ability to-day but be did good work for
the son's of Eli when he was tried ami
gained ma ny a- good yard for his side.
Langdon Lea. the captain of the
Tiger ream, put up a plucky fight at
left end during the first half but was
largely handicapped by his weak
shoulder and was forced to give place
to Thompson soon after the second
half ojiened. Rosengarten made a
pretty run of twenty yards after hav
ing received the bail from a pint and
Armstrong did some good work in
bucking the Yale line.
When Armstrong was forced to re
tire and Kelly look his place, the spec
tators were treated to a beautiful
series of plays by Shat comparatively
inexperienced player, for it was large
ly due to bis efforts that Princeton
was able to score the touch-down
which was made by flaird. Rosengar
ten had been disqualified for slugging
Louis Hitdiov and Bannard w ere on
the field to take his place. ‘This player
ably supported Kelly, and must re
ceive part of the credit which Prince
ton reeehWl for the jjart they took in
rushing the ball from the Yule thrrty
five-yard line to the touch-down just
mentioned. Thompson, a substitute,
did the best tacklemg of the game for
he got down the field on every kick
and often tackled the receiver of the
ball before he had moved.
The game was remarkably free from
trick plays. The Tigers did trv a dou
ble pass or two with little avail and
made several short gains of fake kicks
hut aside from this the playing was
straight forward, old fashioned foot
hall with a deal of kicking on the part
of botk teams. Baird made numerous
well played punts for Princeton and
Torne and Jerrems lifted the ball
for Yah- with never-failing accuracy.
Once during the game Thorne at
tempted to kick a goal from the field
but his attempt failed and the effort
was never rejieated.
The game was considerably delayed
by fre quern trivial injuries, but it is t,o
be remarked that the contest was re
markably free from the ugly feat tires
which characterized much of the play
ing of last year. Not a Yale man left
the fietld from beginning to finish, and
no serious injuries were received by
the Princeton men who were forced to
retire.
Without doqbt to-day’s contest,
weighed from the spirit of manly
sport, will give an impetus to foot
ball’s interests and next year ought to
develop some wonderful things for the
science of the game <wj the gridiron of
the dub.

over the University of Minnesota on

at no time had a chance for winning
out, still tin* Michigan team had to
play for every point they got. The
score was twenty to nothing.
The weather was wet and cold, with
just enough wet snow on the field to
make it slushy anil slippery. The usu

versity at Ann Arbor were on hand dis
playing the orange and blue and til

A While Wom n Killed by Negro* s
and Burned In a House.
GREENWOOD, K. (.. Nov. 23. An
untenanted house on W. P. Shirley's
plantation, four miles north of this

body of a human being and imme
diately summoned Dr. (’. W. Cason,
who, on examination, pronounced the
remains to lie that of a woman. The
head, arms and lower limbs were en
tirely consumed by tin* fire, hut suffi
cient evidence remained to satisfy any
one that the victim was a woman and
that no decomposition had set in
when the fire occurred.

fact that a white woman in the neigh
borhood wax missing. Her name is
Nareissa Bagwell.
John Mitelfell and Wash Ware, l>oth
colored, were suspected and arrested
for killing the woman. Ware has
made a statement in which hi* says
that John Mitchell killed her, put her
in the house and set fire to it to cover
up his crime. He also stated that they
would find a satchel belonging to the
dead woman on Mitchell’s premises.
On making search, the satchel was
found, together with a gold beastpia,
both of which were identified as,the
projawly of the dead woman.
The woman is known to lune had
S3O in money oil her person when last
seen. The negro Mitchell was arrested
This morning. He denies any connec
tion with the crime. The prisoners
were sent to jail at Abbeville this af
ternoon. An immense crowd is in
town and threats of lynching arc
heard on every hand, but no effort
was made to take the prisoners from
the officers.

Secretary Carlisle, in a circular let

them here to receive gold coins in
sums of SSOO, and multiplies thereof

light weight gold coin and to ascer

pay for it at face value less four cents
for each troy grain if such coins are
found to be below standard weight.
1 his is believed to be the second
time in the history of the government
that it has paid express eharges both

1 HE CRIMSON DEFEATED AGAIN
Harvard Goes Down Before Pennsyl
vania hv a Score ot 1? 1.0 11.
(A MHR IDGE, Mass., Nov. 23. In
one of the grandest and most stub
bornly fought football games ever wit
nessed, the plucky Harvard eleven
went down before the sturdy Pennsyl
vanians on .Soldier’s Field this after
noon, fighting desperately and gamely
to the last. The score was 17 to 14.
Pennsylvania won on the splendid
kicking of full-back Brooke which the
stiff breeze rendered all too effective
in the second half. Harvard lost pri
marily through Brower’s two bad
misses of easy kicks for goal, which de
prived the crimson of tin* fotir points
lacking for victory. But the Harvard
eleven with bitter defeat staring them
in the face, played fiercely until th
very last and even with the wind a
gainst them in the second half they
rallied and made one of the most mag
nificent spurts ever seen on the grid
iron, before which the gritty men
from Philadelphia went like paper. But
Pennsylvania won and won gallantly
and Harvard must again bear the sor
rows of defeat.
T he crowd was tremendous and the
game was so replete with dramatic in
cidents that it kept them alternating
between intense silence and a frenzy
of cheering from the first play till the
last.
Long before the game began, the
crowd began to swarm through thi
gates, and when Uaptain Williams and
his sturdy Quaker Eleven ran on the
field there were fully 12,000 people *ur
rounding the gridiron. Pennsylvania
did not lack for cheering, for nearly
1,200 enthusiastic “rooters” were or
hand to cheer their favorites, and they
kept up their sharp, quick “Penn-syj
va-ni-a,” ringing uncomfortably n
Harvard’s ears from start to finish.
The rtr.rds vv» re alive with color.
The west stand was packed solid with
one living mass of humanity, who
yelled like demons when Harvard
made headway. On the eastern xi<!<
the crimson of Harvard was inl et ir m
gled with tin red and blue of Pennsyl
vania, and the cheers of each < iirgi
' ied with the other continuously.
ihe day was fine. The threatenin'.*
clouds ot early morning slowly dis
persed. and at noon canto the welcome
rays of the sun. The day was cool
perhaps a trifle mild. The giounds
"ere fairly soft, but, owing to tie
splendid care taken by the work,- ; on
the gridiron, were not soggy cn-.n ,>
to prevent a good foothold.
Without detracting from t’u , IT
torv which was well earned, the ...
van I team held their own at iAiw
stage and outplayed the Quake t s ml:
the time, w ith the one exception o, ;in
kicking department, in this 1 <>. ,
easily excelled.
Brooke made the first five points i t
his team on a pretty goal from tin
field, and his kicking time and rgain
put Harvard far back to the other end
of the gridiron.
The much heralded strength of the
red and blue did not come up to pre
dict ions or else the Harvard eleven fa
exceeded expectations and perhai s it
was a little of both. Harvard wa;
strong to desperation on the defense.
She held Pennsylvania's advance splen
didly aiul never allowed the visitors to
make steady gains. The centre was
strong and gave the Quakers all tlte;.
wanted. On the ends, too, Harvard
had the best of it, but at the tackle
Wagonhurst and Farrar were more
than a match for Rice and Gould.
Pennsylvania did not develop any ie
markable interference, though they
tried complicated mass plays on
tackle. The backs were not so sure,
nor did they play as cleanly as did
Harvard’s, but evidently they were the
stronger and heavier set.
ft was a splendid, a fast game, with
little attempt at slugging and dirty
plays. The Pennsylvania centre was
continually stopping Harvard from
putting the ball into play and several
times Referee Pratt gave Harvard
ground for this offense. But it was
deserved and if anything, the officials
were too lenient.

Fight in Santa Clara District.
HAVANA, Nov. 23. —Details have
been recieved here from Santa Clara
of the capture of Fort Belay o, by Max
imo Gomez. Gomez may or may not
have been driven across the Zaza riv
er, as officially stated here. He is un
doubtedly now in the vicinity of Santa
Spiritus with a considerable force of
men, and seems to be able to elude the
Spanish columns of troops, that were
said to be pursuing him out of that
province and into Puero Principe. Like
Roloff anti other insurgent leaders, Go
mez has been finding dynamite a very
successful weapon in his warfare, and
it was by its use Fort Pelayo was cap
tured.
The Fort, however, is only a small,
wooden affair, garrisoned by forty
soldiers and designed to protect the
passage of the river at Pelayo. The
place was surrounded by insurgents
and the garrison was summoned to
surrender; but it refused to do so. The.
insurgents then retired and soon after
wards, a dynamite bomb was hurled
into the Fort and exploded with a loud
report, which so alarmed the soldiers,
that they surrendered. The amount of
damage done by the bomb is not
known, and it is understood that no
body was killed.
The soldiers w ho formed part of live
garrison, have arrived at Santa Spirit
us after having been deprived by the,
insurgents of their arms and anununi-
I tion. The whereabouts of the remain
der of the garrison is not know n. There
is a report current, that the garrison
surrendered before the bomb was
thrown, simply when Gomez threat
ened to have dynamite thrown into
the Fort, in official circles, this second
version of the affair is not believed,
but it is understood that if the officer
who commanded for Pelayo reaches
Kanta Spiritus in safety lie will be
promptly tried by Court Martini, in
which ease, it is believed, he will lie .
