of Enthusiasm Among the Lon
don Populace.
A Number of Sow Features Incorpor

mier filves It a Turn Toward Politic.
Lord Salisbury's Speech the Feature
of th Evonlntr ills Felicitations on
England Belnc Unmolested In Her
Absorptloa of Central Africa
London. November 0. The Lord May
or's show took place today and was
more than usually interesting-, as there
;were a number of new features. Special
attention was paid to the colonies,
.which were represented by attractive
cars.
The Lord Mayor's banquet at the
Guild Hall tonight was a spectacular
close of the day's festivities.
The presence of Lord Salisbury af
forded an excellent excuse for reiterat
ing the attitude of the government to
wards the South American controversy.
The response of the great audience in
the banquet hall might be described
as satisfactorily loyal, but-could hardly
be called enthusiastic.
The feature of the evening was Lord
Salisbury's speech in response to the
toast to "His Majesty's Ministers.
Referring to the progress of the war
in South Africa the premier said:
"It Is pleasant to record that the
peace of the world lias been so little
disturbed by the everts of the last two
years. Half a century ago we would
not have found such a correct and pa
cific attitude on the part of the great
powers. It is a sign of the increasing
international amity and the understand
ing also that the cloud of the past three
weeks over the Meditterranean has so
lightly passed away. Fifty years ago
this would not have been so.'
Touching upon South African devel
opments in another part of his speech.
Lord Salisbury said:
'I strongly deprecate the spirit of pes
simism so freauently, heard in the ut
terances of some of our public men as
to the war in which we are engaged.
'"Unlike the (wars of former years, no
longer does the capture of the enemy's
capital and the dissipation of his field
force constitute a conclusive victory.
1 "We are now confronted by a system of
guerrilla war, which must be slowly
and effectively stamped out. "We are
progressing slowly perhaps, but stead
ily. "I cannot take the public wholly into
the confidence of the government. It
would be most i imprudent publicly to
state all we are doing weekly and
monthly at the front, but that I em
phatically declare is that whatever de
lays are encountered, these are due
neither to a lack of earnestness and
ability of our generals in the field, nor
to a neglect to comply with all of their
demands on the part of the home gov
ernment We have been subjected to
much vague and Indefinite criticism;
but our bitterest opponents have not
been able to point out any tangible de
fect and definite cause of complaint.
"I deeply regret the ravages of the
war in the colonies to which we are
anxious to accord the fullest practicable
measures of self-government, but we
have had neighbors in South Africa
.whose conduct for years has been a
menace to the stability of that section
of our empire. Now we are engaged
in removing this menace, and we are
determined to do it so effectually that
it will never require doing again."
This declaration was received with
cordial, but by no means enthusiastic
applause.
THE VIRGINIA JUDGESHIP
Many Appllcatlonw-J. Hampton Hoere
Gets the Cold Shoulder
"Washington, November 9. There was
much activity at the White house again
today In the matter of the vacant fed
eral judgeship of Virginia. There are
already about a dozen or more candi
dates in the field.
Today Judge L. L. Lewis, of Rich
mond, appeared in response to a sum
mons from the White house to confer
with the president on Virginia political
matters. Judge Lewis has been in on
sense a candidate, but some of his
friends have urged him and he came
here at the request of the president.
When ho lof ho enli i ht. his Attitllflft
was just what It vrJ before he came.
but both he and John S. Wise, who ac
companied him, were in excellent
spirits.
J. Hampton Hoge, the recent republi
can candidate for governor who is the
leader of the republican organiza
tion in the state, also saw the president
today and was told that he must pro
cure the endorsement of the lawyers
of the Old Dominion. Colonel Hoge
said this was difficult as he had for
years been fighting the democrats and
they would be loath to recommend him.
It is understood that Colonel Hoge
tried unsuccessfully to secure the en
dorsement of Senator Hanna. The
latter declined on the ground that he
was not a lawyer and had made it a
rule during McKinley s administration
not to make recommendations in ju
dicial appointments. He said he
"would not change the rule now.
BIG FIRE LOSS RICHMOND
A Handsome Building: on Main and
Seventh street Destroyed '
Richmond. Va., November 9. Fire
this afternoon totally destroyed the
four story brick ? structure at the
OR'SBHOW
corner of Main and Seventh streets,
occupied by the Richmond Traction
Company, the Virginle Electrical Rail
way and Development Company and the
Tower-Bindford Electrical Supply
Company.
Miss Emily Crump, a young lady,
stenographer, was seriously injured by
jumping from a second story window,
and a negro porter Is believed to have
perished In the basement. A number of
persons were slightly injured.
The fire was one of the fiercest ever
seen in Richmond. The building was
virtually doomed before the alarm
was given. The total loss is estimated
at a little less than $100,000. There was
$10,000 insurance on the building which
was owned by Charles T. Davis. The
Tower-Binford Company had about
515.000 Insurance on stock and it is un
derstood that the Traction and Electri
cal Companies had full insurance on
their stock and office furniture.
The origin of the fire is a mystery.
Those who were at work in the build
ing heard a dull report and a moment
later flames were seen to rise and the
smoke was so dense that no one could
stand it longer than a moment at a
time. There was nothing In the base
ment that could have caused the explo
sion, it is said, and it is believed that
the boiler of the steam heating plant
exploded.
nONOBS TO TIIE DEAD CHINAMAN
Foreltrn Ministers Pay Visits of Condo
lence Chinese Ceremonies. v
Pekin, November 9. The foreign min
ister this afternoon went in a body,
wearing plain mourning, to the late Li
Hng Chang's yamen, and presented
their condolences, acccording to Chinese
custom.
Chinese soldiers lined the streets near
the yamen and the great crowds which
gathered in the streets and about the
yamen were perfectly orderly. All the
city officials received the ministers in
the court. The coffin was in a spacious
inner court, temporarily roofed. It
rested on an altar behind a screen and
had over it a royal pall conferred by the
emperor's command, an honor hereto
fore bestowed only on members of the
imperial family. Many Budhist priests
were in attendance. There were rows
of tables bearing offerings of food.
amounting to several tons and piles of
paper money. Candles and incense
were burned about the coffin.
Li Hung Chang's two sons stood near
the casket, attired in sack cloth. Be
fore the screen was a cushion, where
the Chinese callers made prostrations.
The ministers, however, stepped for
ward, singly, and bowed low. The dean
of the diplomatic corps read an address
of sympathy to which the oldest son of
the deceased statesman replied in Chi
nese, the youngest son interpreting his
words into English.
The scene about the yamen was ani
mated and picturesque. Hundreds of
officials were present in their robes of
office. Mounted retainers are arriving
daily from all parts of the province.
A LKTTEU FROM MISS STONE
Hardship Incident to Frequent and
Rapid Movements ot the Bandits
Sofia, Bulgaria, November 9. In the
latest letter received from Miss Ellen
M. Stone, the captive American mission
ary, she says she is exposed to much
hardship and suffering, owing to the
constant movement of the band over
hills and ravines, notwithstanding the
rigors of the winter. In consequence of
this activity, which has lately been in
creased by the Bulgarian -troops, the
condition of Madame Tsilka, Miss
Stone's companion, is even more pitia
ble, owing to her expected accoucn
ment. The belief that Miss Stone is con
cealed in a village is thus discredited,
as is the reported birth of a child to
Madame Tsilka. The monastery of
Rilo was searched by the authorities,
as the prisoners . were reported to be
concealed there. Troops are also
searching the neighboring hills.
Consul General Dickinson conferred
today with M. DanefT at the Bulgarian
foreign office, and it Is understood that
Mr. Dickinson made representations
against the movement of troops.

FINE SPORT ON THE GRIDIRON
HOT GAME OF BALL BETWEEN HARVARD
AND PENNSYLVANIA.
The Latter Suffers Severe Defeat Her
31 en "'Xotln It"-Some Hough Play,
With Slutnrinc Interspersed Yale
Team Scores Another Victory A Tie
Between Wet Point and Princeton
Alter a fierce Battle
Philadelphia, November 9. Harvard
this afternoon on Franklin field, ad
ministered to the University of 'Penn
sylvania one of the most severe defeats
the latter has experienced since she
has been in the front ranks. The final
score was Harvard 33, Pennsylvania 6.
Harvard scored 22 points in the first
and 11 In the second halves, while
Pennsylvania scored 6 points in the
first half. This single touchdown was
a gift of Marshall, Harvard's quarter
back. Reynolds kicked the ball to
Harvard's stwenty- yard line, where
Marshall fumbled it. Mitchell gather
ed in and ran about twenty yards for
a touchdown. After this Pennsylva
nia's chances of scoring could never be
considered seriously. Once they were
near enough to Harvard's goal to try
a goal from placement, but the ball
went wide of the mark. ,
Pennsylvania's efforts to advance
the ball were really distressing. No
better proof of this is needed than the
fact that during the entire first half
the Red and Blue only gained four first
downs while Harvard gained twenty
seven. The rudimentary principles of good
ball were conspicuous by their absence
from Pennsylvania's play. Only once
during the entire game did the Philadel
phia eleven show anything like real
football and this was in the first five
minutes of play. During this period
the ball was continuously in Harvard's
territory, but this was not due so much
to Pennsylvania's strength as to Har
vard's execrable fumble. The visitors
were visibly affected with rattles during
the first few minutes of play, but when
they struck their gait it was only a
question of the proportion of the score.
Strangely enough, Captain Campbell
was responsible for the majority of
Harvard's penalities in the early stages
of the contest. Several times during
the first few minutes of play he 'was
off side and one of his offences would
have cost a touchdown had Harturd
been playing against a first class team.
In point of fumbling both teams were
about equal, but Pennsylvania was
penalized three times to Harvard's
once for off .side. The chief offerer
In this respect for Pennsylvania was
Mitchell, who took Piekarski's place.
Time and again he would plunge into
the line before the Harvard man had
started and the net result of his over
anxiety was a gain of forty yards for
Harvard. His offenses finally became
unbearable and he was taken out of
the game.
Never has so much feeling been
shown in a game between these uni
versities as was manifested this after
noon. There were numerous slugging
matches and near the close of the game
Umpire Dashiel ordered Jordan out of
the contest. Gardiner, who was acting
captain for Pennsylvania, pleaded with
the umpire, but the latter was obdu
rate. Captain Campbell finally con
sented to allow Jordan to resume his
position.
New York, November 9. The foot
ball team of the Syracuse university
played a splendid game against the
Columbia university eleven at the polo
grounds this afternoon and won a hard
and cleanly fought battle on the grid
iron by a score of 11 to 5. The Colum
bia men were outplayed at every point.
The visitors played clean fast foot ball.
West Point, N. T., November 9. The
foot ball game here today between the
West Point military academy and
Princeton teams resulted in a tie score
to 6 and the points were all made
in the first half of the game. There
were 10,000 persons In attendance and
they witnessed one of the fiercest and
most exciting contests ever played on
mis neia.

The game was a spectacular contest,

Montgomery, Ala., November 9. Af
ter a fiercely contested eram of foot
ball here today between the University
of Alabama (Tuscaloosa) and the Uni
versity or Georgia (Athens) the final
score stood 0 to 0. In the first half.
Alabama, by a series of steady plunges
aown tne neid got over for a touch
down, but it was made on a rluke and
the officials did not allow it. The teams
were about evenly matched in sneed
and weight and some pretty playing
was aone.

DEATH OF M11S. lilSSETT
Tho Widow of the Late Captain lilsett
lased Away Yesterday ITer Aged
Mother Died Last Monday
We are pained to record the death of
Mrs. Kate Watts Bissett whose serioas
illness we mentioned a few days ago.
She passed into rest at 11:20 o'clock
yesterday morning at her home, 5:13
North Third street. She had been an
invalid about three years and had been
critically ill for about ten days previ
ous to her death.
Mrs. Bissett was the widow of the
late Captain John Bissett who died
about 18 months ago. She was born in
Dundee, Scotland, but at the age of
eight years came to America with her
parents who settled in Cincinnati. In
that city 47 years ago she was married
to Captain Bissett and soon after their
marriage they came to Wilmington.
They leave four daughters and three
sons, all of this city. The sons are
Messrs. J. R. Bissett, J. E. Bissett, and
W. A. Bissett, and the daughters are
Mrs. W. C. VonGlahn, Mrs, R. F. War-
ren, and Misses Mary and Jessie Bissett.
They have a wide circle of friends who
deeply sympathize with them in the Ir
reparable loss they have sustained in
the death of an affectionate mother.
-For many years Mrs. Bissett has been
a member of St. Andrews Presbyterian
church, and she was the oldest member
of the Ladies' Aid Society of that
church. She was active in good work3
and deeds of kindness and charity and
goes to her blessed reward with her
duty on earth having been well done.
- It was only on Monday last that a
telegram was received from Bonaparte,
Iowa, announcing the death of Mrs.
Bissett's mother, at the advanced age
of 88 years. Owing to her serious con
dition she was not apprised of the death
of her mother.
The funeral will take place tomorrow
morning at 10:30 o'clock at St. An
drews' Presbyterian church. The inter
men will be made at Oakdale cemetery.

AMUSEMENTS
The Herald Square Opera Company
Gave Two Delightful Performances
Yesterday Afternoon and Lttat Night.
Howard Kyle and Hllnd Tom Comlnc
The Herald Square OperaCompany.
composed of first class fun makers and
quite" a number of chorus girls, gave
two performances at the opera house
yesterday. In the afternoon they pre
sented the "Village Bride" in a satis
factory manner to a good audience
that was more than pleased. The
"Circus Girl" was presented last night
to a more than good Saturday nght
house. The company is a good one,
embracing many pretty girls, and
judging from the applause that greeted
them at every turn, we should say that
their performance was appreciated to
a very great degree.
BLIND TOM.
This wonderful negro pianist, after an
absence of nearly twenty years, will be
again heard at the opera house next
Thursday and Friday, November 14th
and 15th, and also Friday at matinee.
He is evidently the same old Blind
Tom. We copy the following from the
Columbia (S. C.) State.:
The audience at Columbia's play-
house last night was of such propor
tions as Is calculated to make the heart
of any manager glad. The house was
crowded from pit to dome, large num
bers of ladies occupying seats in the
gallery. Every one v-as of course de
lighted with the harmony of hweet
sounds which Blind Tom. the musical
wonder of the age, colled forth from
the piano, an instrument of which he
is supreme master. Terhaps the nest
number on the programme, and the one
executed with most expression, was
'The Last Hope,' by Gottschalk. This
beautiful production was played with
great feeling and caused Tom to be
overwhelmed with applause. Tom is
still a wonder and does not deteriorate
with age."
Seats will b on 4ale Wednesday at
