Game \Vill Be Arranged. PRINCETON, N. J., Oct. 16.—-Thc un- dergraduates of Princeton are anxiously awaiting Harvard's final Icpino the com- munication forwarded by the advisory board on Saturday night. A football game bot-ween Harvard and Princeton is far from being the certainty that has been represented by Princeton correspondents. Manager Milbank in a conversation today stated most omphatic- ‘ ally that Princeton would play on Nov. 3 or not at all. Harvard has held out for Nov. 9, and unless the Cambridge men , concede the point the game Will‘ not be arranged. It is the consensus of opinion in the Princeton camp that Harvard. will yield the point. This sentiment was distinctly expressed by the management today when they ordered “Beef” Wheeler to again join the ranks Of the varsity. “Beef= ’ was ineli- gible to play in the Yale game, as he has already played four years with the Tigers. This four year clause will not apply in a Harvard game, and. his presence in the practice today is taken by the undergrad- uates to signify the management’s assur- ance of a game. The turn affairs have taken is ‘not ex- actly what the supporters of the orange and black desired. Taylor Pync of the advisory board expressed the sentiment of the undergraduates today when he said, ”We are willing to lose the game this year if by doing so we can draw Harvard into a.- series Of annual games for five years.” This they have failed to do. and the wis- dom of entering into a our» pact for two years is doubted by the ‘.~.'..~IU' heads. CUP RAGE ASSURED. Notification of the Acceptance of Mr. Rose's Challenge—His Intentions. LONDON, Oct. iii—Tho secretary of the Royal Victoria Yacht club, Percy Thel- luson, today received a cable message from J. V. S. Oddic. secretary of the N ew York Yacht club, notifying him that the challenge he had sent in behalf of the Royal Victoria Yacht club and in the name of Charles Day Rose, a member of that club, to sail a series of matches for the America’s cup in 1896 with the cutter yacht Distant Shore had been accepted and that a committee had been appointed with full power to arrange conditions. Mr. Rose also received a. similar message from Secretary Oddic. Mr. Rose was pleased with the prompt notion of the New York Yacht club, and talking about his future action said that be was unable to say at present when he would begin building or whether he would race his yacht in the Riviera regattas or in British waters before sending her to the United States. He said: “Many de- tails as to time and place must be ar- ranged before I can take any steps. Doubt- ‘ less the New York Yacht club committee will confer with me.” The Pall Mall Gazette, commenting up- on the acceptance of Mr. Rose’s challenge, remarks: “There is little doubt that Eng- lish yachtsmen, as a rule, will not be al- together pleased at the impetuosity of Mr. Rose’s challenge. That it implies a criti- cism of Lord Dunraven is denied, but the fact remains that even though the inten- tion was absent Mr. Rose is far better known on the turf than in yachting, in which Dunraven is one of the most distin- guished amateurs, without reckoning the pains and expense to which he has been put in his endeavors to regain the cup. Mr. Rose, moreover, has ceased to protest against the new deed of gift to which oth- ers have so strenuously objected. In ad- dition Soper is not the equal of Watson. ” Serious Freight “’reck.

Judge Ingraham Decides That the Pros— ent Law Is Not Violatcd. NEW YORK, Oct. 15.—The Qurt of cyst and terminer, in the criminal court build- ing. was crowded today with racing men who were anxious to hear Judge Ingra- ham’s decision as to the legality of racing for purses under the Percy-Gray racing law. The state racing commission and the Westchester Racing association, in order to test the matter, requested the district at- torney Sautrday last to take proceedings. Accordingly a. complaint was presented ‘to City Magistrate Cornell against Colo- nel S. B. Lawrence, president of the West- chester Racing association. Colonel Lawrence was arrested, charged with adVertising a lottery and maintain- ing a public nuisance and was patroled in the custody of his counsel, J. S. Auerbach. The proceedings were entirely friendly. A writ of habeas corpus was then imme- diately applied for. Colonel Lawrence, August Belmont and Lawyers Auerbach, Ruth, Store and Davies were present in court when the case was called. Ex-Judgc Noah Davis and Lawyers HOWe and Hummcl, counsel for the anti- racing association, were notified to be present, but none of the lawyers was pres- ent. . ‘ Lawyer Steinhart said that cx—Judge Davis was unable to appear, as ho was con- fined to his home, and he also said that Mr. Davis would. not be present until the case was properly presented. Assistant District Attorney Battle said that, as Colonel Fellows had already ex- pressed his views on the subject, he would present the briefs Without argument. J usticc Ingraham Said that there was nothing to show except that the ordinary prize was offered, and that the entry mon- ey was paid into the association, and that the association gave the prize. - In view of the facts in the present com- plaint the accused have not committed any offense against the law, and the judge or- dered a discharge. MINERS SUITOGATED. Their Death Attributable to the Careless- ness of an Engineer. WEBSTER CITY, 1a., Oct. 15.—-Four men were suffocated by smoke in a coal mine two and a half miles from Story City. The dead are: Albert Peterson, single; Alexander Eastman, single; I. N. Nege- son, single; George Payne, married. The men were in the mine just at clos- ing time. The ‘engineer had built a big fire in the furnace which hoists the cage and gone for his supper. While he was away the timber adjacent to the furnace caught fire and the flames reached the cable at- tached to the cage. When the engineer re- turned, he attempted tc hoist the cage with the men, but the cable broke and they fell to the bottom of the shaft. The fall was not over three feet, and they were. uninjured. The mine was filling with smoke from the burning wood. and there was no other mode of egress for them. George Payne was foreman of the little gang of miners, and they followed him to one of the cells, thinking they would bank themselves in and prevent the smoke from entering. The cell was only 100 feet from where the wood was burning, but before they could enter and build up the barri- cade they were suffocated. ' Our Silver Coins In Canada. MONTREAL, Oct. 15.—The great influx of American silver coins is causing much comment.

The Most Stupid of All Is That British Troops Are Marching Across Brazil. Mr. Bayard Jocosely Denies the Ultimatum Story. WASHINGTON, Oct. 16.—The report that British soldiers had been landed in Brazil and were distributed to the British-Vene- zuelan territory is discredited by Sir Julian Pauncefote, the British embassa- dor; by Signor Mendcnca, the Brazilian minister, and by Senor Andrade, the ~Venezuelan minister, the representatives of the countries concerned. It is agreed by these ofiicials that a move of such su- preme importance would'be quickly com- municated here, and in the absence of any such reports no credit is attached to it. Sir Julian Pauncefote, accompanied by the Earl of Westmeath, arrived here today after an extended tour through Canada. He was seen shortly after his arrival and asked concerning the reported landing of British troops in Brazil on route to Vene« zuela. He attached no importance to the report and said be regarded it as another canard. As to the seriousness of South American complications, the cmbassador had received no advices on the subject. It was clear to him, however, that no such move would be made, certainly not by way of the territory Of an outside powor. The status of the much debated Vene- zuela and Nicaragua questions remains unchanged, so far as the British ofi‘icials are informed. Minister Andrade of Venezuela said that the report of the British forces land— ing in Brazil was self evidently false, as it was out of the question for troops to march the great distance from the Brazil- ian coast to Venezuela. If any such land- ing was attempted, it could be made more easily in British Guiana, which is situated much nearer the disputed territory. The minister has received no word from his government indicating-that there is alarm in Venezuela. , Minister Mendonca of Brazil said the report that British soldiers were crossing Brazil was manifestly vague, inasmuch as Brazil was about the size of the United States, and it was like a. report that troops were crossing America. The Bubble Punctured. , ST. PAUL, Oct. 16.-—Several people most directly interested in the Orinoco com- pany are in St. Paul and have met and talked the situation over informally. As soon as the papers in connection with the lease of the Venezuelan land grant of the Manoa company to the Orinoco company arrives the Officers of the latter will meet in St. Paul. This meeting will probably occur in a few days. Among those now in the city are Don- - aid Grant, president of the Orinoco com- pany; President J. A. Bowman of the Manon company, Sam Grant of Faribault, W. H. Fisher and others. When seen in his office, President Bow- man said: “The lease has-been completed in the state of Washington. The amount of land is 14,000, 000 acres and the amount of purchase $25,000, 000, the lease extend- ing over 99 years. The incorporation was made in the state of Washington rather than in Minnesota because there it costs practically nothing, while here it would have cost between $14,000 and $15,000. Much nonsense has been written, and many sensational complications of na- tions reported. I desire to impress on the people generally that we are not stirring up strife. We do not want trouble, nor are we asking any government anything. Nor have we ever done so, except to de- mand at one time of the Venezuelan gov- ernment our rights. We are not agitating any question of international dispute. Whatever questions there are will work themselves out. Furthermore, we never secured any land or concessions from Ven- ezuela for the purpose of having any such question settled. As a matter of fact, we will lose nothing whichever way it is set- tled.” “How about the report that Secretary of State Olney had demanded of the British government that within a given time it cease its encroachments or submit the matter to arbitration?” “That report is absolutely incorrect.” Bayard Is Ironical. LONDON, Oct. 16.—-The United States embassador, the Hon. Thomas F. Bayard, was interviewed today respecting the re- port circulated in the United States that he had been'instructed by Secretary Olney to submit an ultimatum to Great Britain on the Venezuelan question in the form of a dispatch the substance of which was said to be that the United States will never consent to British occupation of the disputed territory in Venezuela. unless that nation’s right to it is first determined by arbitration. Mr. Bayard, after reading an article published in a. New York news- paper dated Washington, Oct. 3, said that the-facts in the case seemed to have been evolved in the fertile brain of the writer in the same manner that a. spider finds the material for its web—from its own interior. He ridiculed the statement of an ultimatum having been drawn up by the United States and said he could not seriously discuss the matter. The fact, however, remained that since the' diplo- matic break between Great Britain and Venezuela some years ago the United States had been anxious to bring about a friendly settlement of the question and had tendered its good offices to Great Britain with this object in view and had. repeatedly endeavored to find means for its satisfactory so tion. tion continues at. resent, and the longer the matter was allowed to drift the more anxious would the United States be- come to seé it definitely settled. That Was all Mr. Bayard could say about the matter. ' ' Model Battleship Sold For Junk. CHICAGO, Oct. 16.-The model battle- ship Illinois, built of brick and piles, which was one of the objects of interest at the World’s fair, has been sold to junk dealers.

Another Victory In Her Fight Against th- United States Government. SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 14 ——Mrs. Leland Stanford has won another victory from the United States government—this time in the United States court of appeals. The decision is signed by United Stat-es Circuit Judge Gilbert and by United States Dis- trict J udgos Morrow and Hawley. It is given on the appeal taken from the pro4 vious order of Judge Ross sustaining the demurrer of Mrs. Stanford to the suit brought against her to recover 815, 337,000, alleged to be due the government from Pacific bonds. As the decision is an af— firmation of the correctness of the posi- tion already taken by Judge Ross, there is no relief to be Obtained in the premises through a suit equity. It is held that the liability exists is purely a. ”creature of statute, ” the question before the court being entirely one of interpretation of the law. The privileges for the amendment of the complainant and the rearranging of the case were offered to counsel for the government, but it was stated that the government would not take advantage Of the Offer. The Opinion states the question before the court to be whether the stockholders were to be held individually liable for the debts of the company. The court held that the liability of the stockholders of the Central Pacific could not be different from those of the Union Pacific, and that had there been a consolidation Of the two companies the debt could not have been collected from the stockholders, and what would apply to them then applied now. Judge Davis of Illinois has already de- cided that the Union Pacific stockholders were not liable. fl‘he students of Stanroru university last night celebrated the decision. WILL SPIT Ill HIS PAGE.

The City Attorney’s Office Shortage hIay Reach Half a Million Dollars. PITTSBURG, Oct. 14.——Sensat_ional devel- opments continue as the result of the in- vestigation of the affairs of the city at- torney’s cfiice by the subcommittee of council. The auditors have already fig- ured out a. shortage of $100,000, and it is said that before the investigation is closed it will be shown that the city is a loser of at least $500,000 and probably more. The investigating committee has re- quested council to institute criminal pro- ceedings against the city attorney and his assistant, and at the next meeting the of- fices will probably be declared vacant. The accused officials have refused to give up the check and stub books. In the event of an arrest being made they will be seized. LONDON’SENTILYNGHERS. They Pass Resolutions Denouncing Burn- ings and Hangings In America. LONDON, Oct. 14.—The Antilynching society has been holding more meetings the past week and has passed resolutions declaring that the “burnings, shootings, hangings and other tortures” continue to be practiced in America on “persons in- nocent and guilty,” and that, .while unit- ing with the friends of humanity in the United States in indignant protest against the atrocities in eastern countries, they fear that such protests are “greatly weak- ened by the action of people Of their own race.” The resolutions also say that the early part of this year should have been marked by a. diminution in the number of these murders; but, it is claimed, within the nature have occurred, more especially in Florida, Kentucky, Tennessee, Illinois and Ohio.
