Peclslon by the Referee, Which Gave the Gam to Ilntler, Cantei Troubto.

Bpeclal to tbe Indianapolis Journal. Bloomington, Oct 15. The first football game of the season here was played on Indiana University grounds this afternoon, the home team and Butler being the conv testants. It ended In a general row, and, while no blood was shed, it required aid from judicious friends on both sides to avoid it. The time was almost exhausted, and there was a strong push being made for Indiana University goal, when a kick threw the ball over.

As soon as the ball went in the air the Indiana University boys gave a great hurrah, claiming that the ball bad gone properly over tbe goal. On the other hand, tbe BuUer boys claimed that it went to the west side several inches. Each side waged a war of words at the referee, but he decided without hesitation that he was watching the ball himself and that it did not go over the goal. This made the score 10 to 6 in favor of Butler, while otherwise it would have been 11 to 6 in favor of Indiana University, Wild shouts of derision and all kinds of ugly names rent the air. but the referee was indexible.

ind the Indiana University boys refused play longer. The Bntler team came on the grounds at 3:45 and Indiana University at B5, the latter with the balL The teams lined up as follows: EuUtr.

Indiana University fumbled, and Ilntler got the ball down. But they fumbled in turn, and Youstler got the ball. As be was running Sommerville tackled to his lorrow, and was disabled for fifteen rain-ntcs. Milroy made a tive-pard gain around the end. The ball was passed to Youstler, who, in the subsequent down, was so badly Injured that he was obliged to leave tbe fame, and may be permanently disabled, was Butler's ball, and Indiana University failed in all attempts to stop the steady rash which carried itover the line for the first touob-down.

Butler failed to kick goal, and tbe score stood 4 to 0 in her favor. Bloomington took tbe ball to the center, and liottel ran eight yards around tbe the end. and Murderek bucked the line for three yards and again for five. Indiana University fumbled and Butler wentdown on the ball, but lost it again by four successive downs. Indiana University lost three yards on the snap back, but liottel made a gain of seven yards round the end.

Some good punting by Bhootler and running and bucking by liottel. Murderek and Sbafer carried the ball over tbe line forlndiana University's first touch-down. She kicked goal and tbe score stood 6 to 4 in her favor. Butler took the ball to the center, maqe a gain of ten yards, and lost it by poor. play, fcbooler punted, and a gain of twelve yards was made just as time was called for the first half.

Butler had the ball when play was called, and worked tbe wedge for ten yards, but lost it on the next play. Indiana University made thirty yards by some clever running and blocking, but lo9t it. and Butler got through a bole in tbe center, carrying the ball across the field for her second touch-down. She kicked goal and the score stood 10 to 6 in hr favor. When play was resumed Indiana University having the ball, Shooler kicked goal from the field, but referee Waits retused to allow it.

A general muss was kicked up, in which the audience had more to say than the players, and it ended bv Indiana University resufiug to go on with tbe game. Manager Teeters will appeal to the advisory board. He claims be can introduce plenty of evidence, including that of President Coulter, to sustain his tusition.

The lint game of foot-ball this season was played between the teams of Purdue University ami Wabash College on tbe grouuds here this A special train brought 500 persons from Layayette carrying tin horns and wearing the Purdue colors old ild and black.

The decisions were satisfactory. The playing was not of a slugging nature. After the game the Pnrdue boya marched through town blowing horns and giving college yells. The Wabash team has been coached by Malley, ex-captain of the Ann Arbor team. It was thought the eleven bad a possibility wincing the championship, but to-day's developments show that that-possibility must be cultivated by better work.

What has defeated Wabash before has simply been a lack of proper physical training and team work. Malley acknowledges that there is an idea that because tbe Pnrdue men are heavy, hence they must win by reason of their size. But heavy men are not all that required. ile says Wabash lacks training. and he tbinka after a another week's training the team will improve a hundred per cent.

With proper training, by the end of the season he thinks the team can cope with any other team in the mate. At first they lacked both physioal training and a proper knowledge of the game. His advice to the Wabash team is, as soon as the season closes, to elect a captain for next year, and the men go to work npon a wrestling mat. as this brings into play every faculty andmnscleneeded in foot-ball games. Nothing rough nor tearing should be indulged in, but by scientific wrestling eight men may be ableto get larger men oil' their feet and win tbe game.

The Wabash team were photographed before the game commenced. About twenty students came from Lafayette on bicycles, and all the daily papers of that place had a representative on the) ground. The new president of Wabash College witnessed the game, and he is an enthusiast in athletic sports. THE EASTERN TEAMS. IIow Yale, Harrard and Princeton Are knowing Up In Practice New York.

Oct, 15. Yale and Harvard foot-ball managers are just now wrestling with the problem of selecting tbe ground for the Thanksgiving game. It is a toss-up between the Manhattan grounds and East Park, Brooklyn. The seating capacity will, of course, balance tbe penny in the toss. Walter Carp is at Yale's helm now, and his relegation of his players to the scrub line on his first appearance on the field is indicative that the weeding oat and bracing up of the famous team has begun.

Harvard's team is practicing steadily, and the men teem to understand signals well, and respond quickly to their orders. The most noticeable feature of their play Is the rapidity with which they line np after a run-down and put tbe ball in play. This feature has been conspicnous in Harvard teams of late years chiefly by its absence. Princeton is also working hard. As a whole, the chief merits of the team are tbeir fine manner of interference and the condition into which the men are getting.

Fumbling, high taokliug and tbe rawness of tho new material are decided drawbacks, and must be overcome. U. of 23; Crescent Athletic Club, O. New York, Oct. 15.

Tbe Examiner this morning contains a lengthy account ot the cruise of tbesteamer Montserrat, which arrived here Thursday from San Jose de Guatemala, after having landed in Guatemalan ports S63 natives of the Gilbert islands, who were delivered to wealthy plantation-owners of Central America, under contract to become laborers there for a term of five years.

The account is written by tbe Examiner reporter, who left hereon the Monserrat in April last in the guise of a sailor, and accompanied her on the entire voyage. The account declares that the Montserrat was a slave-ship: that the natives were sold in Guatemala for $100 a haad, the amount being taken in the guise of "passage money." It states that the steamer visited a number of places in the Gilbert group and shows that most questionable methods were resorted to to get natives aboard. In a number of cuos young lads were induced to go aboard the steamer and were frightened into signing a contract, and their parents or relations, not being willing to part with thenr, would go aboard with them. A number of nondescript men, women and children were among those secured. Upon arrival at Guatemala the plantation-owners would sometime demur at paying for such helpless labor and the victims would be presented to them in consideration of their paying for tbe more able-bodied ones.

The manager ot the expedition was U. II. Fer-anson, who was also connected with another alleged slave ship, the ill-fated Tahiti, which sank with four hundred Gilbert islanders aboard. The reporter states that during tbe visit of tho Montserrat to tbe islands Ferguson deceived tbe islanders as to the fate of their countrymen on the Tahiti, and told them they were safely funded in Mexico, and were enjoying great prosperity. The account also states that of tbe four hundred Gilbert islanders who were taken to Guatemala two years ago, under tbe same conditions, to work on plantations, there are only ISO alive now, tho others having succumbed to disease.

STRIKE ON THE RIO GRANDE. Engineers, Firemen, Conductors and Trainmen on Two Divisions Quit Work. Denver, Oct. 15. The engineers, conductors, firemen and trainmen on the second and third divisions of the Rio Grande struck to-day, and as a result no trains, on these divisions bat the mail and express are moving.

Some time ago Superintendent Ridgeway issued an order that two through trains were to be run from Minturn to Grand Junction without a stop. The timo required to make the run is ton hours, and the engineers claimed that this was too long a time to work without anything to cat or time to rest. Engineer Gordon was the first man ordered to take a through train, aud he refused, after which the order was resoiuded. For this he was suspended, and the question of his reinstatement has been agitated among the railroad men until to-day a strike was declared on two divisions, and if tbe railroad does not return Gordon to his position the fourth division threatens to striae. President Jetlries, of the Kio Grande, says that eneiueer Gordon was suspended for insur-bordinatioti.

as he had declared that he did not care whether bo worked or not. The strike has tied up the Governor of California and his party at Grand Junction en route to tho world's fair dedication at Chicago. Homestead Strike Lost. Homestead, Oct. 15.

For some reason or other tbe majority of th-Jtu did not anticipate much of a pressure on account of the world's fair dedicatory celebration, bat they are now in a position to regret that they did not make more extensive prepara tions to meet the demands of the occasion lhey nave practically ceased to compete for the extra business, aud have turned their attention to tbe task of supplying cars for the tratlic that is crowding npou them unsolicited.

Richard Guenther and lion. Cicero Duchanan Preach the True Doctrine. Special to the Indianapolis JoarnaL Evansville, Oct. 15. An immense Republican meetir was held at Evans's Hall last night.

Tbe Hon. Frank B. Posey presided. After a short introductory ad dress, in which be referred to the quietness of this campaign as good evidence of the contentment of the coun try, he gave way to Hon. Cicero Buchanan, always a favorite with Evans ville audiences.

Mr. Buobanan recom mended the Democrats to go home and read their histories with a masnifying glass and ascertain what the Democratio party had ever done to deserve the support of American people. He reviewed the history of the Democratio party from the time Democracy abolished the national bank under' Jackson down to tbe present time, and the terrible arraignment was a master piece, lie called attention to the marvelous development of Evans- ville's great manufacturing industries, tbe product of American protection. It is a crime, said he. to strike down a policy that has made possible such industries.

It is bread and meat for tbe laboring man. Mr. Duchanan then took up the "force-bill" issue. He showed that the genius of a republican government depended upon a free "expression and untrammeled vote at the pollt. That is impossible down South, 'lt is by a suppression of Republican votes." said the speaker, "that Democracy hopes to throw the South for Grover Cleveland." Mr.

Buchanan was vociferonsly cheered during frequent intervals of his speech. At its conclusion Mr. Posey introduced tbe principal sneaker of the evening, ex-Congressman Guenther, who was received with great applause. Mr. Guenther said that as a great many of bis audience were colored people hd would take occasion to say that the infamous Democratic party, endeavoring to perpetuate slavery had made him a Republican.

He paid an elouuent tribute to Abraham Lincoln, whose early speeches had grounded him (the speaker) in Republioan principles, and "tbe party had reason to feel proud of such leaders as Lincoln, Grant, Stanton, Chase, Garfield, Logan, Blaine and Harrison." He then reviewed the diplomatic successes 'of the present administration. England; Chili and other nations bad learned that America would not play seo-ond fiddle to any nation. The Democracy claims the Republican party has never done auy thing for tbe poor man. In tbe face of the most strenuous Democratic opposition a homestead law was passed, but vetoed by James Buohanau. Under Lincoln it was passed again and approved.

The soaner next discussed the Democracy's rroposal to abolish tbe prohibitory teu-per-cent. tax upon State banks and reintroduce the disastrous wild-cat currency shrunk when in circulation from 250 to 50 per cent, in a night. He reviewed tariit' legislation since Washington, and called attention to tbe protection proclivities of Jetlerson and Madison. "Tbe ordinary Democrat," continued the speaker, "gets as mad as a wet hen If you call him a free-trader. He wants to be called a reformer.

All right, 1 have no objections; call him a reformer. If a skunk objects to being called a skunK and insists upou being called a polecat, all-right. So if a Democrat insists upon being called a reformer, all right; be is a tree-trader just the same." Mr. Guenther then took up the subject of tin-plate. 6aid he: "Wearo to day supply lug 25 per cent of the tin-plato trade in America, and the price now is a little cheaper than before the passage of the Mo-Kinlev bill.

1 find that right here in Evansvillo one of your largest firms is using great quantities of tin-plate, and this lirmsays it prefers the American tin. It Is better and cheaper. Tbespeaker here showed a large plate of American tin as a support to bis argument.) This is a successful industry, in spite of the Democrats. Twenty years ago they said we could not manufacture plate-glass, yet Indiana bas one of the largest factories in tho world, and commands a larger price in the world's market than the foreign article." Tbe speaker then attended to the policy of straddling, illustrated by Cleveland's letter, which be bandied without gloves. His entire speech was often interrupted by most enthusiastic applause, and the great audience were delighted that he had fore gone his original intention of deliveringan address in German and bad given them such a thorough exposition of the issnes of the day.
