THE STOCKTON'S TRIAL Speed of the Torpedo Boat a Fraction Short of Contract Requirement Washington, Nov. 29. Commander Hemphill, head of the naval board which conducted the trial of the torpedo boat Stockton yesterday, has telegraphed the Navy Department from Annapolis the following report of, the results of the trial: "The Stockton made approximately yi knots for two consecutive hours. Vessel's displacement at time of trial about 2(H) tons. Performance of ma chinery generally satisfactory. Star board engine counters broke down forty minutes after trial began. Speed was computed from -the readings of the port counters ' as checked by the speed over the measured mile course. Stockton sailed for Richmond. Contractor re serves all rights pending conference with the deportment. ' The Stockton, under tne terms or tne contract, was, to., develop a minimum speed of 20 knots In case of deficiency slie may be rejected, or a reduction may 'e made bv the government from the contract price. It is the impression here that the boat is a thoroughly serriee- ible one, and that she has been pro- vented by a series of . una voidable acci dents from making the ' full contract speed. It is therefore Iwlieyed that the board will recommend 0TMt the Navy Department -accept her on yesterday's record, for it is improbable that the contractors will care to go to the ex pense of making another trial.

WAR IN FULL BLAST Four Hundred British Surrerr der to Boers ' SEDITION IN CAPE COLONY Danger ofan Outbreak la Alarmlns A Rebellion at this Tim a Would. Se verely Test British Military Re sources in Africa Surrender at De TVetsdorp a Serious Blow to British Prestige. London, Nor. 29." The most startling proof, that the war in South" Africa -is still full of vigor is contained in General Robert's dispatches announcing that 400 British troops with two guns haye sur rendered te the Boers at DeWetsdorp, southwest of Bloemfontein. It is poor consolation that the British hare since re-occupied the town after the Boers had withdrawn. . This stariking success cannot fail to encourage in Cape Colony a revolt, which is now a most imminent danger. The truth is, according to the most reliable information, that the situa tion in iCape -Colony is now more perilous than at any time since the oufbieak of the war. The farm burning policy in the Boer country is having its -natural' ef fect and it will be surprising . if the British escape the dilemma in which they have involved themselves without precipitating a rebellion which will severely test all their military-resources in Africa. It is not likely that the Boers will attempt to bold the prison ers taken at DeAVetsdorp, as this is no longer their policy, but the moral eftect of the blow to British prestige " will be none the less serious. General toberts' full dispatch follows: - It is reported from DeWetsdorp that the garrison- of the Sixty-eighth field battery, and detachments of the Glou cestershire regiment, the Highland Light Infantry and Irish Rifles, a, total of about 4K) men. surrendered at 5:20 p m. November 23d. Our losses were fif teen killed and forty-two wounded. The latter include Major Ausoir, of the High landers; Captain Bigby, vt the Glouces tershircs, and Lieutenant Collis, of the Irish Light Infantry. The enemy are said to have been 2.o00 strong. A column of 1,400 men was dispatched .from Eden burg to relieve, DeWetsdorp,' but did not succeed in reaching there in time to effect their relief. General Charles K. Knox joined this force November 2Sth and entered DeWetsdorp, which wfts found to have been evacuated, 75 sick and wounded being' left in the town. Knox pursued th enmr, and Pitcher reports -from SmitifteW -that Knox fought a successful engagement yester day near Vaalbank with iStey-n and De Wet, who retired west and southwest. Knox's messenger failed to get through, so I am without details as yet." General Roberts also reports a skir mish November 27th at Bullfontein. Three hundred -Boers were dislodged and pursued, losing several men. Bruce Hamilton has cleared the country be tween Wilge and Vaal rivers, captur ing eleven Boers and a very large num ber of cattle and sheep. .. DELARGY ATTACKS CIEJIEXTS Boer Commando Said to Be In at Posi tion Whence Escape Is Impossible Johannesburg, Nov. 2o. (10 a. m.) General' Delarey. with a commando . of hOO men attacked General Clements Frk day. northwest of Krugersdorp. The IVr-rs brought a sun into position on the hills 'during the night and began shelling the British camp at 3 o'clock in tha morning. After firing the British guns silence! the single one used by the Boers. Severe fighting followed in which the Biers suffered heavily. The British buried twenty-five burghers . an I took twenty prisoners. General Delarey fouiid himself in a difficult position and asked for an armistice for twenty-four hours. This General. Clements agreed to. 1mt at 3 o'clock Saturday afte.mbon the Boer resumed firing. It is reported that Delarey is surrounded and that it is impossible for him to escape: ' London, Nov. 29. General RoberSs cables the war of lice from Johannesburg under date of November 28 that Colonel Pinmor drove 500 Boers tfroin Dewageu Drift, killing three. On November 23 Colonel Campbell carried the Boers' main position at Tigersoof. The British had a lieuten ant killed and a major severely wound d and one man killed and two wounded. General Knox re-occupied Dewecsdorp Novemlcr 20, and is now pursuing. the Boer couumando that held that place. It is reported in London that Presi dent Steyn, of the Orange Free State, was wounded in fighting at - DeWets dorp. STL 31 PS IN THE BOAD It Is Going to Be a Difficult Matter Pass a Shlp-snbsldy Bill Washington, Nov. 29. Among the pol iticians it is said that with the passing of every day the task which the admin istration would undertake in tne matter of forcing through Congress the- ship subsidy bill appears to become greater. Talks with a number of representatives reveal the fact that there exists at present no greater degree of harmony in the House concerning this measure than existed during the lat session. Three of the influential members of the 'House Messrs. Burton, Hull and .Henj inway have, announced their opiposition to the pending bill, and these men will, it is understood, have quire a- little fol lowing as each conspicuous representa tive has certain inconspicuous represen tatives who follow his lead. Much of the opposition can, it is' said, lie traced to the fact that the bill in its present form is not satisfactory to large shipping interests who desire a share of the $9, 0.0OO subsidy. One amendment these ship owners ue sire is a provision inchiding in the ap portionment of the subsidy foreign ships purchased by Americans, provided these purchasers give orders for a correspond ing amount of tonnage in new ships to be built in this country. The, point in this, it is said, is that when the owners purchase foreign hips and sire the or- ?0a fnf ffU Mnwmw4: T - the foreign, ship at once begin to getsthe ibenefit of the sabsidy; and there eari be indelinite delay in the building or " the new ones, , - .

Washington, Nov. 29. Some curious things with reference to the recent elec tion are coming to light as members of f Congress get together and exchange ex periences. There are a number of things which no one seems to be able to ac count for. One of the most unaccount able is tho falling off of the negro vote in Georgia. The Georgia men say that in their State there is nothing in the local laws or in the practices which places restrictions on the negro voter which are not upon the whiteJYVhites and blacks alike, .being citizens of the State and of legal age, are entitled to vote. About 50,000 negroes in the State were registered and entitled to vote at the recent election, but it is said that, not to exeecxl 15,000 voted, the utmost indifference being shown by them, in one township where in 1896 Bryan got 598 votes and McKinley got 390 votes. Bryan got this time 612 and McKinley but 93. Yet with that small vote Mc Kinley got at least three times as many white votes as he did at the same poll ing place as he did in 1896. Not more than 12 of the 93 votes cast for Mc Kinley were by negroes. BACK FltOm THE WAR Soldiers Returning from Africa Re ceived a Hearty Welcome In England Southampton, Nov. 29.

The storm arose on the 30th ult. and raged .that day and the next. The waves tore away the starboard lifeboat and beat fit to pieces. This was the only mishap. Cap tain Chester says that throughout the storm the battleship behaved beautifully and showed excellent seaworthy quali ties. The Pope Receives Catholic Scholar Rome, Nov. 29.

Want GAME WAS: FOUGHT HARD In the First Half Carolina Foresd the Ball Near Georgetown's Goal, and. In the Second, the Carolinians Prsrent ed Their Opponents from Scoring by a Gallant Strajrcl on the Two Yard Lilne. fT'. Washington, Nov. 29. The University of North Carolina ' foot ball team played Georgetown University to a . standstill on Georgetown field this afternoon be fore a crowd of two thousand . people. At the end of two -25 minute halves the score stood 0 to 0, neither side having 8cired. The result of the game places North Carolina among the foremost as pirants for the championship of the South. The game, was closely contested and fiercely fought from ..the moment play began until it was called at the end of the second half. North Carolina In the first half had all the best of the iplay, but were unable to get the hall .within scoring distance of their opponent's goal. In the second half Georgetown held the Tar , Heels more closely and five minutes before timewas called forced the ball to North Carolina's two yard line. Here the - Southerners made the greatest stand ever seen on. a foot .ball field in Washington. Georgetown flvas repulsed and Graves punted the ball well out of the danger zone. The kicking game was (resorted to fre quently, and Graves ' easily held his own with Delvin, the star punter of Georgetown. Neither team was able to gain'ciuch on' the --ground. Lowever, Graves made au umber of good line smashes', while - MacRae and Ohiham also 'plaved a splendid game. Delvin, Riley, Buckley and Kearns were the stars for Georgetown. The game was scheduled to begin promptly at half past three. A tew minutes before, that time the North Car olina team came into the firld and were greeted lustily toy thedr supporttrs who were present in no small numbers. The Georgetown rooters on the west side -of tlie field ken t still, and watched the Tar Heels critically, while they limbered up. When the Georgetown team, came ou the field on. a run ..they were given the Georgetown 1 slogan, and thtn. th? crowd settled back, and waited for . too game to commence. The - captains of the teams conferred in the center cf the field for a moment. Twenty-five min utes was decided-upon as the length cf the halves, the coin was spun, North Carolina winning-and Georgetown kick ed off. ..- 'Delvin put his toe against the leather, and the oval sailed to. the t wenty yard line where it was gathered in by Mar tin who returned it 15 yards. North Carolina tried to smash the line and then to circle the end, but neither time did they make material gain. Graves punted 25 yards. A little later Devlin punted, honors being about even on the exchange. During the early part of the half neither side gained any particular advantage. Each team would gain a short distance by line plunges and short dashes around the end, and then would either lose the ball 'on downs or would punt. At first Graves, had a little the best of Devlin-in the kicking game, and the exchanges of punts netted the iNorth Carolinians from five to ten yards gain each time. Later on, how ever, the Georgetown captain be;an to put more foice into his1 kicks, and honors were aTTout even with Georgetown hav ing, if anything, a ; trifle the lest of it. "Umpire Amlrns watched the men very closely and penalized Georgetown twice for offside play and North Carolina once for holdirvg in the line. The nlavers saw that he was not. 'to -toe trilled with, and there was no more trouble on that score during the ivmainder of the game. Towards the end of the first half the play resolved itself into a punting duel between the Opposing full backs, Dev lin and. Graves. Tli? .latter generally received Devlin's punts and made sev eral good returns, on. one occasion re turning, practically without interference for twenty yards. The ends of both teams generally got down the field quick ly, but in several eases over-ran their man. Nearly ail the playing in this half was done in Georgetown's territory, but the Tar Heels were unable to push the oral further towards their onpo-nents'-goal fnan thetwenty yard line, except on pvints when Tevlin invariably rut the goaliruit of danger iby kickin?. Time was called just fter Devlin had returned a punt to the North Carolina 45-yard line. ; During the intermission there was much surprise ' expressed by many at the good ' showing North. Carolina hnd made. Th Georgetown rooters were little dismayed and confidently predicted that the blue and 'gr ay would play a much better-game in Uhe second half. This was iustified. for the conditions of the first ."half5 were reversed, nearby all the playing being done in North Caro lina's territory. . When time was called at the end of the ten minutes intermission, the elevens changed goals and North Caro lina kicked, off. Gracie returned the ball ten yards. On an exchange of punts Graves gained five yards. Riley, who had been trying the ends with but little effect air during the first half, now managed to clear the left, and, aided by clever interference of Buckley, cov ered fifteen yards before brought to the ground. Each eleven got the ball on fumbles, and another exchange of punts netted the ; blue and gray -about fifteen j-ards. Devlin fell back once more to punt from -North Carolina's fifty-yard line. McKayc-made - a wretched pass and the ball went ver his head and rolled to Georgetown's fifty-yard line be fore he recovered it. Riley made a wide circle around-left -end and gained seven yards. The bail was now on the west side line. Devlin signalled a smash on the right side ;of the tine, "hut saw a good opening on the left, of which he took advantage and covered thirteen yards before he was pulled down. Der- lin and graves had another1 argument b way of. tf air line which gained about eight ya' he Tar Heels. It wa - own's ball on their opponents Then began the series ot ' r " -. nearly won the game. for. ff gray. On a fake play Devlin sn , ;gh tho right side of. the rush line.Sk off, a couple of would-be tacklers and started for the goal line with only a man be tween him and the goal posts. Even when tackled by this One man he did not stop, but crawled and wriggled till he had covered twenty yards. This was the star run of the day, and tho George town rooters nearly went wild with joy when Devlin duplicated the performance by another rmv of ten yards. The ball was now just within the ten-yard line, and it certainly looked as if the blue and gray would score. This impression wa? heightened when Lynch advanced the ball to the three-vard line.' . ' - The Tar Heels, with a spirit bora of desperation, here made a wonderful stand. Kearns plunged 5nto the line, but failed to gain. Then Deviin took the ball and the crowd Jooked to sea a touchdown at once. ' - But even the crack captain only gained a single yard, placing the, ball just two yards from the coveted line. The third down wan the last chance Georgetown had to win the game, for it was a practical certainty that if they failed to shove the oval over at this time, the game, barring a fluke, would end without either sido scoring. The Carolina line" braced , for the attack, and Georgetown backs got upon their toes. The ball went, to Dev lin and he shpt into the line like n catapult. The Tar Heel line wavered for a moment and then Devlin went down, and When the players got up from the ground the ball was still six feet from the line. x ; The North Carolina rooters were rather few, but they made enough uoise at this time to make up for the paucity of their numbers rihe Georgetown rooters weinj silent, but could not help express their admiration for the gallant defense of the Carolina team. -f . Graves fell back j behind the line and punted the ball to the twenty-yard line. Devlin tried to make a fair catch, but failed. Devlin then fell back as if to attempt a goal from the field, but. ho punted instead. North Carolina made a slight return. Graves punted forty five yards and Buckley returned five. The Georgetown team held a conference and the Tar Heels were cautioned by cries of "Look out for a , fake!'' from their supporters on the side lines. It was fast getting dark and the only chance that either team seemed to havo -to score was on a fake play. Nothing of this kind developed." Devlin punted forty yards down the field. North Caro-' Una began to work the ball back by line smashes and end runs till time was called with the oval in the center of the field. .
