Root. The witness has testified that be is engaged here in looking after legislation for private employers. On cross-examination, I ask him who they are. He declines to state. I ask the committee to require him to state.

Senator O'Connor. The majority of the committee think that Mr. Payn, having gone into the subject himself of giving his business here, we have a tight to require him to state who from and how much money he has received, and who he is employed by. He having stated that on his own responsibility puts himself subject to cross-examination. All that we can do is to direct him to answer.

Witness. vlUi all due respect -to the Senators, I decline. METAL MARKETS ACTIVE. Good Outlook for the Fataie-Iroa Mines to Start Work. PITTSBURG Nov.

A BnJa-c, a Sharp Decline, nnd a Rally at tho Close.

CHICAGO, i Nov. 2L Chicago's wheat trade was upset early by some surprising buying for. a local operator. This, was followed by just as surprising selling, and a decided break in prices to the lowest point of the week. For the first hour December wheat old at 76Vi cents and 74)4 cents; May at 80 cents and 78 cents.

The shrewdest brokers In the pit were at a loss to know whether the early activity in wheat was legitimate or forced by certain leaders. If It was manipulation they could not tell whether the shaking up and shaking out of the first hour was to make a strong market to sell out on or a weak market' to buy In additional lines. One commission house, very shortly after' the opening, took about 600.000 bushels of wheat. This gave the sharp up turn. On the advance tnere was just as good evidence of selling by bull leaders.

There was a drop In prices of 2 cents straight' in one hour after the early bulge, followed by a rally of 1 cent. The chief news for the wheat trade was the London report of rains in India, The cable news sld rains on two coasts had benefited crops, and conditions favored rains for the interior, wheat sections. Liverpool cables came Sd. lower for' wheat. This looked as if the KngTlsSPhouses accepted -the rain reports.

The rilght report on what San Francisco did yesterday was of a bearish character. There was some selling by New-York. Argentina, reported 80,000 bushels of wheat shipped for the week. Bradstreet's report on exports 3,937,000 bushels of wheat and flour, both coasts. This was encouraging to buyera St.

Louis showed remarkable strength at 8 cents to 10 cents over Chicago. Altogether, a much firmer tone prevailed toward the close. Shorts covered, fearing a bull market Monday on decreased stocka The late advance was to 7534 cents, December, and 79 cents. May, only three-eighths of a cent under top prices of the morning, and one-half of a cent over last night. CHICAGO.

Exports from both coasts for the week were heavy, at 3,937,000 buahels. Receipts at Chicago were 79 cars, and 188.147 bushels were taken from store. December wheat opened from 75475I4c: sold between 7UVc and 74)4c, closing at 75vic- MUo higher than yesterday.

PECULIAR BANK SUIT. Rensselaer Cesaty Trying; to Get Baelc Stolen Fnnda. TROT, N. Nov. 21.

The County of Rensselaer to-day began an action against the National Bank of Troy to recover diverted from the Rensselaer County Treasurer's account at the bank while George H. Morrison was Treasurer- of the county and cashier of the bank. The theory of the plaintiff is that Morrison, as County Treasurer, was custodian of a trust fund. That fund was on deposit at the National Bank. Morrison, as cashier, was cognizant of the improper diversion of that fund.

Being cashier, he was an officer of the bank, and his knowledge waa therefore, the bank's knowledge. The bank, knowing of the diversion of money In its custody, was responsible for not protecting the fund, and is liable for the amount. The county's representatives any they have decisions ot the courts that confirm the contention. THE WEATHER. The weather Indications are rain, followed by colder.

THE WINNERS SCORED 24 POINTS' AND YALE. 6. A Kloklng ''Gam Abandoned When 1 Princeton Found that Yale's Una Waa Weak Smith Mad the Only Sensational Run of the Gam for Over 60 Yards. Xt was simply a ease of push. Princeton's football eleven were the hardest pushers, and so they, gave the boys from TaU the worst "licking" they have ever had.

With a soore of 24 to 9 against them, the Tale football players left Man hat tan Field yesterday broken-hearted. They had found, for one at least, that the boasted "Tale pluck and Tale luck" had proved, mytha Princeton's line ef for wards had proved something worse than si stone wall. One eaa scale a stone walL Tale's backs couldn't get through or cllmtf over the Princeton's Una That the whole story la a nutshell. Xt was a push from the beginning. Peoptd who had secured tickets for the game at all sorts of fancy prloae were not deterred by ugly weather from going to 'Manhattan Field to see the annual struggle between-the eleven young; men from Tale and similar number from Princeton at the great game of football.

Women gorgeously deo orated with the yellow and black of Prince ton or the blue of Tale began assembling In charge of their eeoorta at the various elevated road stations leading; to Manhattan Field by noon. 1 Even the Crowd Pwshed. From that mlaute the pushing game ot the day began. There was a jam at all of tho down-town stations, a Jam when one reached tho platform, another push one tried to find a plaoe In the cars, and the guards kept pushing- people Into these conveyances until the crowding for even standing placai waa very like tho game ot push that all the crowd saw at Manhattan Field. All roads led to the field, and every rosd was overcrowded.

Hacks and caba and conveyances of all kinds were called, Into requisition' by people who but for the rainy weather would have found their way to" the place ot Tale's slaughter by the general and cheaper modes of travel. The result was such a crush about the field as has probably never before been seen there. From soon after noon, when the crowd -that had general admission tickets began to find their way to the field In order to secure choice places close to the pine railing built up Just outside the gridiron. It wss push. push, push, until long after dark, when the vast crowd of probably 33.000 some say 60,000 had left the Held and found their way back by devious routes to a comfortable shelter, a warm meal, and a relief from the hurly-burly and the push of the great intercollegiate struggle.

Crowds Omtslde tho Femee. Even before tho gates of the big1 field where the sons of Ell and the pets of Nss-sau were to struggle were thrown open to the crowd, the great viaduct abutting on the field was the centre for a battle for placea Stormy weather did not deter the small boy or the Impecunious football crank from hugging the Iron rail that overlooked the field. They were both there In force. bucking the centre and rushing around the ends" for choice places, while the horde of dollar people were dowa below, waiting for the gates to open. The fringe along tho riaduct rails at 11 o'clock had grown to a deep flounce of trimming when the police appeared to try; and control the good-natured croad.

Xt waa noteworthy even then that the yellow chrysanthemum and the yellow and black ribbons and flags of Princeton dominated the crowd. Just aa a year ago there haS been the blue flags and the violet cf Tele. A crowd at a football game seems to ecfent the victory In the air and decorate itself accordingly. When tho viaduct places had all been there was a' rush for the choice spots on "Deadhead Hill." for which a charge of CO cents was made. This wse at noon, and, with a push and a rush and a hl-halloo." the crowd broke for the choice places on the rock At the esme instant almost the gates of the field were open, and with a yell hundreds poured in at all the available gates, and rushed, for the obotce places along the pine rail by the gridiron.

Push, It was a forerunner was' to, come when the game began 'on the muddy field with the whitewashed stripes over the 3.KI feet of its length. From that time until about 1. o'clock, when the gridiron was fringed with men, five or six rows deep, push continued. Then there was a let-up. and the few early arrivals in the grand stand bad a chance to calmly inspect thlsga.

LooklaaT Over tho Field. They saw the viaduct crowded with'- men and women and umbrellas. The great bleachers were a bobbing and throbbing' mass of umbrellas. presumably with men and women underneath them, for the moving mass of yellow-and-black flags and blus. banners waving at Intervals told that there was life there.

So, too, did the constant shrieking of the college cries In response to the songs, the blares of horns, and the screeching of cornets from the tops of the coaches drawn up in line on the north ex! of the field, To the west the bare rock had blossomed out la blues and yellows of varied shades, all under the shelter of the necessary umbrellas. Deadhead Hill was like one of the desolate rocky little Thimble Islands, with Its growth -of toadstools and goldenrod and cornflowers. For the half hour between 1 o'clock snl 13 there was comparative Then came the rush again, and the people who held seats on the reserved stand began push through the gates. Men. women, and children poured out of the elevated road stations, out of cabs and carriages.
