BEKLIN, November public mind was considerably excited this week on account of a duel at Insterburg, East Prussia, in which Lieutenant Blaskowitit, of the army, was killed by Lieutenant Hllde-brand, also of the army. The military officials have not yet made a statement of the facts in the case, but the National Zci-tuug has obtained an authoritative account of the meeting, which is as follows: Lieutenants Hildebrand and Rassmussen met Lieutenant Blaskowits going home one night in a state of intoxication, carried him to a spot near his residence and left him there. They returned to the spot later, however, and found Blaskowitz crouching against a wall, asleep, and tried to arouse him and get him upon his feet. Blaskowltz, being Ignorant of the Identity of the two men who were endeavoring to assist him, struck right and left in his seiul-somuoleut state and hit Lieutenant Hildebrand. The latter considered himself insulted by the blow received and reported the affair to the Court of Honor, which decided that a duel was unavoidable, whereupon Lieu ROOSEVELT IGNORES PARTY PRESSURE Postmasters Appointed in Three States on Merit Aione.

WASHINGTON, November President has appointed the following postmasters: Alabama Decatur, Floy Hinds; Union Spring's, Henry Harris. Colorado Central City, James A. Gil-more. Indiana Crawfordsvllie, Marshall M. Nye.

Kansas Osage City, B. A. Rosenqulst. Mississippi Clarksdale, Anna Durham. Missouri Pleasant Hill, George C.

Greenup. Texas-Fort Worth, George W. Borroughs; Stephenvllle, William II. Christine. Utah-Mercur, R.

W. Watt. The President disregarded the recommendations of the Republican organizations in three States In four of these eases, Fort Worth, Clarksdale, and Decatur and Union Springs, Ala. In these cases the organization candidates were found not to meet all the requirements. There was a greater number of papers iu the Fort Worth appointment than that in any other postofflee case ou record.

The aggregate weight of the documents filed was twonty-elght pounds, and one of the candidates wrote fifty letters In his own behalf. There were twenty-three candidates for the office. The appointee at Fort Worth was strongly supported by Fort Worth business men and by Texas friends of the President, among whom were soldiers of the Spanish-American war. He is a veteran of the Civil War. Ex-Representative Haw-ley, Natlonul Committeeman for Texas, urged John L.

Ward. Other candidates were Mrs. Turner, the outgoing postmaster whose appointment under the Cleveland administration expired four years ago; Mrs. Burohell, postmaster under the Gartield aud Harrison administrations, who was Indorsed by Senator Allison, of lown, and others, and C. W.

Connery, Indorsed locally and by J. F. Chancy, of Boston, a prominent stockholder In the Santa Fe Railroad. At Union Springs the contest has waged warmly and neither Republican faction won, the postmaster being appointed solely cn his record. The appointee at Decatur, Is the daughter of the retiring postmaster and wns Indorsed by business men of Decatur.

Tbe State Republican Committee had another candidate. The Clarksdale. appointee was postmaster duriug the Harrison administration. W. G.

Cole was appointed postmaster there about a month ago on the roeomincndntlou of National Committee Turley. Protests were telegraphed here subsequently that the appointment was of a carpet-bag nature, and that Cole had resided at Clarksdale less than the prescribed six months for citizenship. An Investigation corroborated this charge and the change therefore wag made. QUAY'S PITTSBURG MEN DECLARE FOR ELKIN A Sudden Turn in the Fight for Control in Allegheny County. Special to The Philadelphia Times.

PITTSBURG, November 9. Fearful of the Governor's ripper axe, Thomas S. Blgc low, the Quay leader, and tbe other followers of Recorder A. M. Browu's city ad-ministration to-day declared" in favor of Attorney General John P.

Elkin for the Governorship against all other candidates. Mr. Blgelow led them all with an Interview declaring that he bad always been for Mr. Elkln. He was followed by the principal officeholders in the Brown Cabinet, who marie similar statements.

Mr. Bigclow and his friends are figuring to-day that the Governor will be actuated merely by a question of power In whatever he may it in Pittsburg. Mr. Blgelow is alleged to have told his people at a conference this morning that If tbe Governor made up his mind that Senator Flinn could more certainly deliver the Allegheny county delegates to the next State convention aud the Representatives in the next Legislature he would restore Senator Flinn to power in Pittsburg nnd there would be no appeal from bis decision. If, ou the other hand, he and his friends were able to assure the Governor of their ability to turn over the political effects he seeks they would be permitted to retain control of the city government until 1003.

WAIt IF GOVERNOR FAILS. Elgelow's workers also declare with some hope this cvjniug that the Governor will postpone any action until after the City Councils shall be elected in February. This election will show which of the two organizations is strongest, as Flinn nnd Blgelow candidates will be set up in every ward In the city. A City Controller Is also to be elected and both factions will have candidates at the primaries. The selection of tbe Republican nominee will show the stronger machine.

Flinn's men have made up their minds that Recorder Brown will lie removed on or before November 15, and they have no hopes or anticipations beyond that time. They have prepared a line of battle against the Governor all through the county in the event that he should fall in his word, aud In this case Senator Flinn 'will attempt the election of a City Council hostile to tha Governor's friends in Allegheny City. He promised to support the Governor's candidate for State Senator in the Allegheny district to-day against Senator Charles A. Muchlbronner, but the pledge is not binding If Senator Flinn does not secure action ou this side of the river. If the Governor breaks his pledge Flinn will also attempt the election not only of anti-Stone delegations to the Slate convention, but of antl-Stone members of the next Assembly from Allegheny City.

QUAY SEESR00SEVELT Believed That the Senator is Worried Over Proposed Appointments. Special to TUB PHILADELPHIA TIMES. WASHINGTON, November 0. Senator Quay was at the White House to-day for a short time. When he emerged from the President's private office he said that hi3 visit had no significance and that the mat-ters talked about with Mr.

Rosevclt were of an unimportant character. It is thought that Mr. Quay is somewhat perturbed because of President Roosevelt's independent action in the Delaware appoint-ments nnd he fears that he may be treated with as little ceremony as was Addlcks. As a Postmaster of Philadelphia and an Internal Revenue Collector are soon to he named he probably wants to learn the President's mind as to the appointments and to offer arguments why men Indorsed by fhe organization should be given preference. Senator Quay's condition remains unchanged.

The fact that he Is able to be out does not mean that his bronchial affection Is any tbe less serious. He Is still seized wit cougliing when he reclines and at times Is left very much exhausted. (i Democratic Chairman Begins to Arrange His Line of Battle for Next Year. TOUR OF THE STATE PLANNED Impressed With the EecentVote, He Thinks That the Legislative Chances of Pusiorrists Are Good Special to The Philadelphia Times. PITTSBURG, November Creasy, of the Democratic State committee, left here to-night to go through the State in an attempt to have the Democratic county organizations kept active until the next campaign.

He arrived this morning find spent most of the day with Colonel J. M. Guffey discussing the necessity of organization, and how It can lie best accomplished. Chairman Creasy says that many of the chairmen ure fully impressed with the Importance of keeping up the work, and he is going to impress it upon the others. The State organization will render every assistance in building up every county organization that is needful of it.

"It won't do to jump In a few weeks before the campaign opens next year," he said. "We must start now and keep going. "Along with thousands of other people who hoped for a reform in the administration of our State Government. I believed we would win the contest last Tuesday, and I confess to somewhat of surprise at the vote which will continue the machine In control of the Treasury. However, it certainly does seem to me the machine has little upon which to congratulate Itself In view of the vote it polled when the great Republican majorities this State Is accustomed to give are considered.

FEELING AGAINST THE MACHINE. "The vote showed that there is a great and growing feeling among the better class of Republicans against the machine's absolute control of the Republican party and the State government. A look through the list of lnion party workers must convince anyone of the high character and standing of the Republicans who have asserted their independence. These men cannot be whipped Into line by the mere order of the bosses and their influence Is bound to be felt. The whole campaign showed that we have a splendid ally in the cause of good government in the Independent Republicans.

Their organisation this year was only in its Infancy. In a few weeks It was organized and started, ana I believe accomplished splendid results, everything considered. "Before the campaign of next year the seed sown this year will have grown 'everywhere. It is absolutely essential that our workers realize the importance of maintaining their organizations and building them up In every county. It Is too frequently the case that as soon as a campaign Is over the workers lapse Into Inactivity until the campaign of the next year opens.

It Is my experience that a good political organization, like a good watch, gives best results when It is kept going, and I hope to be able to keep our organization all over the State active until the fight is won next year. WILL WORK RIGHT AHEAD. "I think most of our people are Impressed with this as well as with the importance of the battle that will be fought next year, and it is my purpose to assist some of the chairmen who feel that they require assistance lu strengthening their linen. There ill be no let up. We will work right ahead until the campaign of uext year is over.

Our big majorities In the large Eastern counties have been a source of great encouragement to the Democratic and independent workers east of the mountains, and they are displaying spirit that makes me feel most hopeful of the work we will be able to accomplish next year. "I feel confident that we can make a good showing iu the Legislative tight next year and may be able to elect a Governor if the present dissatisfaction In the Republican party with the machine leader trows. I think that we have more than a lighting chance." GORMAN FOR SENATOR He Will be the Only Candidate, Says Vandiver. Special to The Philadelphia Times. BALTIMORE.

November Arthur Puc Gorman will be the next United States Senator from Maryland. He will he the only candidate before the Democratic caucus." This was th'e authoritative and emphatic statement of Chairman Murray Vandiver to-day, made without qualification or reservation. Mr. Vandlver's attention was called to a rumor that Mr. Gorman was preparing statement to the people of the State, in which he would announce that he would not be a candidate.

"Great Caesar!" said Mr. Vandiver. "Whatever put that In your head? Mr. Gorman Is preparing no statement to the people of Maryland. He will be a candidate and the only candidate." "But," It was suggested, "you know Mr.

Gorman has never made any formal announcement of his candidacy. "Yes, I know that; but well, there won't be any other candidute." Mr. Gorman left Baltimore yesterday evening and could not be personally Interrogated. A close friend of Governor Smith said to-day that the Governor would not oppose Mr. Gorman's candidacy.

"Rumors of that sort are circulated only to stir up trouble," said be. BRYAN'S METHODS CONDEMNED Senator Burton, of Nebraska, Talks of the Recent Election. Special to The Philadelphia Times. WASHINGTON, November Re-publican victory in Nebraska is naturally the result of fusion after the people have had time to find that fusion Is more corrupting that the outright purchase of votes," said United States Senator Bustou, of Kansas, to-day. He had Just arrived from his Western home, and was supervising the work of getting his apartments at the Edward lu order for living the coming winter.

"Bryan's fusion methods in Nebraska are ar more corrupting than Croker'B methods in New York city. Croker's methods are avowedly criminal, and do not attempt to deceive anybody. Bryan's are fusion political corruption clothed In the garb of virtue. The people have come to realize that, and hence the emphatic condemnation of Bryan in his own State. "The elections generally are satisfactory to the Republicans, aud show beyoud question that the people have confidence In the Republican party.

TOLD OF THEFT IN SLEEP A Man Who Talked Too Much Gets Into Trouble. Special to The Philadelphia Times. HAZLFroN, November Balne's habit of talking In his sleep will cost him a term in prison. ItBlne was arrested recently and confined in the city station on a petty charge. While asleep In his cell he talked of a brass stealing conspiracy, which has baffled the police for months.

An officer overheard the man's unconscious confession and when he awoke put him through a cross-examination, whereupon Balne confessed and told where fhe brass was concealed. Hundreds of dollars' worth of bras belonging to the Lehigh Valley Coal Com pany was thus recovered aud Baluc was committed to Jail. FIGHT FOR IERN0R Says the Government Cannot Take English Public Into Its Confidence. RESENTS RADICAL ATTACKS Hostilities in South Africa Slowly But Steadily Drawing Towards a Conclusion. Bpwisl CnMejrrnm to The Philadelphia TIMES.

Copyright, 1001, by New York Times. LONDON. November a doleful week tbe fog lifted just enough for the multitude to se the gorgeous Lord Mayor's show, which Is gone through annually as gravely as ever, and which to-day contained several new features. As a result, as It were, of the return of the new Prince of Wales from his world-circling tour, special attention was given the colonies of tiroat Britain in the street pageant, and these were represented gorgeous and attractive cars. After the usual reception at the law courts the procession completid Its tour of the city and returned to the iuild Hall.

The day was also made memorable by the Instalment In office of the Mayors of the twenty-eight boroughs and cities which make up this giant metropolis, Is noticeable that, this year there Is not a single duke In the list, or any of higher rank than that of kninht. The problems and perils of municipal government impel noblemen to shun chief magistrates, as the wisest of them in these days shun the direclorsulps in new companies. BANQUET AT THE GUILD HALL. Of course the feature of the proceedings was the banquet at the Guild Hall, and equally, of course, the feature of the banquet was the speech of the Premier. Lord Salisbury.

The banquet was certainly a most spectacular close of the day's festivities. The historic building was the of a brilliant pageant in which modern and mediaeval sights were strangely mingled. A gathering of two thousand of the most influential citizens of London, Including the heads of the various government departments, gave an opportunity for a loyal demonstration of which the government was not slow to take advantage. The presence of Lord Salisbury afforded an excellent excuse for reiterating the attitude of the government toward the South African controversy. The response of the great audience in the banquet hall might lie described as satisfactorily loyal, but could hardly be called enthusiastic.

Before the banqnet the new Lord Mayor, lr Joseph C. Duusdale, held the customary reception. This was markedly In contrast with that of last year, when the war fever was at white heat and the military element predominated. To-day there were few military men present. Lord Roberts was conspicuous by his absence and the War Office was merely represented by one of the under secret a rles.

LORD SALISBURY'S SPEECH. The reception given Lord Salisbury when lie rose to reply to the customary toast, "His Majesty's Ministers," was most cordial. Referring to the Anglo-Boer war he said: "It Is pleasant to record that the peace of the world has been so little disturbed by the events of the lust two years. Half a cenury ago we would not have found such a correct and pncitlc attitude on the part of all the great powers, is a sign of the Increasing International amity and understanding, also that the cloud of the past three weeks over the Mediterranean has so lightly passed away. Fifty years ago this would not have been so.

"I strongly deprecate the snlrit of pes simism so frequently heard lu the utterances of some of our nubile men as to the yar in which we are engaged. Unlike the wars of former years, no longer does the capture of the enemy's capital and tbe dissipation of his field forces constitute a coucluslve victory, vie aie now confronted hv a system of guerrilla war, which must be slowly and effectively stamped out. We are progressing slowly perhaps, but steadily. "I cannot take the public wholly into the confidence of the government. It would lie most imprudent publicly to state all we are doing weekly and monthly at the front, but what I emphatically declare Is that whatever delays are encountered these are due neither to a lack of earnestness and ability of our gnerals iu the Held nor to a neglect to comply with all of their demands on tbe part of the home government.

NO CAUSE OF COMPLAINT EXISTS. "We have been subject to much vague and Indefinite criticism, but our bitterest opponents have not been able to point out any tangible defect, any definite cause of complaint. "I deeply regret the ravages of die war in the colonies to which we me anxious to accord the fullest practicable measure self-government; but we have had neighbors In South Africa whose conduct for years lias been a menace to the stability of that section of our empire. Now ew are engaged in removing this menace, and we are determined to do It ho effectually that it will never require doing again." This declaration was received with cordial but by no means enthusiastic applause. LORD IS TICKET-OF-LEAVE MAN Neville Released From Prison, Where He Served Time for Fraud.

LONDON. November Nevlll was released from Parkhurst Prison on ticket of leave yesterday. He was sentenced to five years' penal servitude February 15, 1S8, for fraud in connection with a promissory note. His lordship spent most of the time during his incarceration In wheeling a barrow on the prison farm. (Lord William Nevlll Is the fourth son of the Marquis of Abergavenny.

On February 15, Ills, he pleaded guilty to fraud and was sentenced to live years' Imprisonment. The suit was brought In connection with that of Sam Lewis, the notorious money lender, against Lieutenant Spencer Clay, of the Second Life Guards, to recover IW.OOn due on two promlsory notes cashed by Lord William. As the latter Is not a peer of the realm, his case was heard before the Criminal Court Instead of by the House of Lords, which tried and convicted Earl Russell of bigamy, simply because as a peer he should be tried by his peers.) SIBERIAN LINE PLEASES CZAR Congratulates Minister De Witte on Completion of Work. ST. PETERSBURG.

November to a congratulatory telegram from the Finance Minister, M. De Wltte, announcing the completion of the Siberian Railroad, tbe Czar telegraphed as follows: "I thank you sincerely for your Joyful communication. I congratulate you upon the completion, within so short a time, and amid Incredible difficulties, of one of the greatest railroud undertakings of the world. M. De Wlfte's telegram recalled tbe fact that the Czar turned the first sod of the railroad to Vlatllvostook, May 111, lRfll, and that on the anniversary of his accession the line was completed.

The Minister added: "With the laying of rails a distance of 2.400 versts. from Transbalkal territory to Vladivostok anil Port Arthur, our enterprise In Manchuria is practically, though not entirely concluded. Temporary traffic Is now possible along tbe whole system, and we hope that within two years' It will bo opened to permanent regular traflla" The Temple Company Agrees to Reinstate the Blacklisted Miners. A GREAT STRIKE AVERTED News of the Settlement Was Flashed Over the Anthracite Country, Causing Much Satisfaction. Special to The Philadelphia Times.

WILKESBAItllE, November threatened to become a general strike in the Erie anthracite region was to-night averted at the eleventh hour. The Temple Iron Company conceded the demands of the United Mine Workers. At a conference at Wyoming between Superintendent Thome, of tile company, and a committee of the intending strikers Mr. Thome agreed to re-Instate the fifty discharged men. alleged to have been blacklisted by the Lehigh Valley Coal Company, aud they will return to work on Monday.

There was tonight general rejoicing over the settlement of the dispute. Up to this time 5,000 men were out and on Monday as many more miners would have quit. Fol- lowing tbe Temple Company men those of the Lehigh Valley company mines would have Joined the strikers ranks. A few days ago when it was said the miners would strike the Temple Company managers quickly nipped the affair In the hud. They shut down the mines for an indefinite period declaring that repairs were needed.

This was known to be a ruse to gain time. The Temple Coal Iron Company is the parent corporation of the great coal trust, and was organized by President George K. Bae, of the Philadelphia Heading railway to lease coal aud iron properties. In speaking of the affair before the settlement to-ulght, President Nichols, of District No. 1, of the United Mine Workers, said "The trouble Is the outcome of the strike of the Maltby Colliery of the Leblgh Valley Coal Company, which has been In progress for several months.

This strike was due. It is alleged to the tyranny of a mine boss, nnd while the strike there has continued for some time, the union officials have taken no desicive action, preferring to let the men flfht it out without outside Interference. "A number of the striking miners secured wor kat the Forty Kort, Harry E. and Mt. Lookout collieries of the Temple Iron Company, but recently all these men wore discharged without any apparent cause except that they were strikers from the Maltby mine.

"This started a cry of a blacklist, and a strike was. declared at these mines, and later, when the matter was brought tq the attention of the officers of the First District United Mine Workers a general strike was ordered at all the colllerlex of the Temple Iron Company, to begin this Monday, unless the blacklist he removed and thu discharged miner reinstated." FIGHT WAS CLOSELY WATCHED. A dispatch from Shamokln says that the SAGOO miners of the Ninth United Mine Workers' district are closely watching the fight of their brethren in the Seranton region against the blacklist of the Temple Coal and Iron Officials of this district say the blacklist should be smothered at once, even at the cost of a general tie-up. Tbe miners here do not want to close the works, but 'their leaders say every man will stop digging coal if ordered to do so. The miners generally have been saving money In anticipation of some trouble by next April.

A dispatch from Hazlcton says the disaffected miners have asked the men In this and In the Schuylkill region to Join them against the blacklist. Loya Isupport was promised the Temple Company miners.

INDIANAPOLIS. November the request of the National Curfew Association Governor Dnrbln has written a letter to the Governors of States and Territories requesting them to call the attention of their respective Legislatures to certain laws on reform among the youths of the country. Among hese Is the Curfew law, the law for preventing the confinement of boys with older criminals, aud another compelling officers to return fo their homes all tramping, truant and runaway boys.

The Governor says: "There are no political or denominational features whatever about the work, and since the brutal assassination of our beloved President. William MeKlnley, by an Anarchist born and educated in this country the demand for some method of crushing out the Anarchists nnd the better training of the American youth in love of country and its Institutions lias become universal. The most sacred of the rlghls of an American is the protection of mothers and their children, and, let come what will, all Interest centres in the protection of the home, and no crime equals that of the man who despise) the home."

Quaker Eleven, Greatly Outplayed, Takes Advantage of Muff to Score. Fifteen Thousand Persons See Penn's Team Overwhelmed by the Crimson Eleven Wo odruf! Says Visitors' Attack is Strong-, est He Ever Saw. Harvard defeated Pennsylvania yesterday on Franklin Field by tbe score of 83 to 8. At the end of the first half fEe.

score was 22 to 6, Harvard making 11 points in tha second half. For just five minutes after the game began Pennsylvania adherents thought that the strength of their players had been underestimated and that Philadelphia) might triumph over Boston. Twice was tha Harvard goal threatened in this short time, twice the hearts of the followers of Peuu beat high with hope and twice throats were ready to break into the wild; cheer which greets a touch-down. The south and west stands had twice become a. forest of wildly-waved red aud blue flags.

The supporters of "fair Harvard" in tho north stand were ominously silent. Coach, Lewis paced the side lines nervously. Woodruff, ou the opposite side line, crouched ua the ground, all smiles. Five minutes more and all had changed. All had been Red and Blue, but the blue faded nnd only the crimson remained.

The Harvard giants had ploughed through Pennsylvania's lighter line. Cutts had dashed through it, Rlstine had circled it, Graydoa had hurdled it, the ball had traveled UK) yards, nearly the length of the gridiron, and Harvard had scored. Ten minutes later the same thing had occurred again, and, the score wns 12 to 0. Tbe Pennsylvania, students had yelled "Hold them!" in vain, and it looked as- if the Red and Blue were doomed to go down to defeat without scoring themselves aud with the largest score in years against them. The fears of the Pennsylvania supporters were Intensified, too, by the fact that their men were being injured in every other play.

Almost every scrimmage saw a Red and Blue player lying on the ground when the other twenty-one men had jumped to their feet. The water carrier aud the trainer were in demand every other rush, and the fact that the Pennsylvania men were being knocked out. by Harvard's fierce onslaughts, even though they were, revived and enabled to get back in the gamo again, told that Harvard's players wera in better physical condition. THIS PENN'S ONLY GOAL. Penn, however, was spared the disappoint, nieut of not crossing the Harvard golti.

Soon aflcr second Harvard touch-down the third steady advance down the field of the Crimson warriors was halted in tl centre of the gridiron by off-side play by the Crimson. Reynolds, who had steadily outpunted Putnam, although a strong wind helped the Harvard man, lifted a long anil twisting punt to Marshall. The Harvard caught the ball on the run lint not. cleanly. The punt had been higl enough to allow Gardiner to be right on the spot and just the Instant Marshall mado the catch he was thrown heavily and dropped the hall.

Mitchell, the light-haired Pennsylvania guard, had followed closely. He grabbed the ball and made for the line. Three Harvard men were after him and ha was tackled Just as he crossed the goal. The south stand was a sea of delirious Joy, and as if for an omen at this moment the sun came out from behind the gray clouds) for the one moment of the afternoon. It r.hone as the goal was kicked, but a minulo later the good omen for the Bed aud Bluej was again obscured and duriug the.

rest if the game the Harvard score piled tip under a threatening sky. The third Harvard touchdown was a rep-ctitlon of the first two, the Harvard backs getting the ball on their 50-yard line and currying it 00 yards for a touchdown in dozen plays. The next score was even easier, but was made notable by a spectacular end run by itistiue. the Invincible; half-back. Three times was the Harvard man tackled, but he kept his feet and bin Interferes dragged him along, pushing him and pulling him.

The Pennsylvania, tncklers found their man torn from their grasp. For 40 yards ltistlne was fluuc ahead, while the Harvard flags on the north stand were waved in encouragement, ami when his advance was finally stopped hi trull was washed by prostrate Bed and Blue warriors. It was the finest exhibition of a team helping the runner that ha been seen on Franklin Field since the days when "Jack" Minds used to carry the liall and the Pennsylvania giants of formerdays. Hare and McCrucken. would drag him by main strength fur yards after he had been dashed to earth.

Several times after thci runner had been downed he would ho snatched from the arms of the Pennsylva nla tncklers and literally thrown in the air ahead for a further gain. ANOTHER CHANCE TO SCORE. Once agnln Just at the close of the half, Penn, playing plucklly In the face of certain defeat, had chance to score. Harvard had been held near her goal, and thn two teams lined up- on the south side of tho field. The Harvard line assumed the position for a punt and the hall was passed to Urnydon.

lie got the kick off ail right, but the effort was a poor one. The hall trav. eled low and diagonally across the field. Dale caught it on the run and made a dash for the Harvard goal. The Harvard men were all on the other side of the field.

Threo tacklers came running across the grldlrou trying to Intercept the swift-footed runner. The first missed him and Dale dashed on. lie out-footed the second, but was) caught by the third and thrown after 3o-yard cn Harvard's lo yard line. On her 11-yard Hue, however. Harvard held Penn for downs, nnd Just as she secured the ball the whistle blew and the half was over with a score of 22 to 6 In favor of tho: Crimson.

Newspapers of all shades of opinion express amazement at the action of the Court of Honor.

Even the conservative papers regard the action of the court as being Incomprehensible. It is expected that the case will come before the Reichstag.

THE CODE IN GERMAN ARMY Father and Bride-Elect Mourn Its Cruel Absurdities. Special Cablegram to THE PHILADELPHIA TIMES.

Copyright. lOOl, by New Vork Times. LONDON, November cruel absurdities of what Is called discipline and honor In the Germany army were never more revoltlngly shown than in the positive murder of poor young Kurt Blaskowltz, the lieutenant of artillery, who was killed in a duel this week. The youth celebrated the approaching end of his bachelorhood drinking too much wine one night, and ou the way home, meeting two fellow-officers, he acted toward them in a way which they considered rude. Although on the next day, the eve of his marriage, he was perfectly willing to apologize, a formal court of officers full-grown human beings firmly believing themselves civilized decided that he must fight two duels.

In consequence of this activity, which has lately been increased by the Bulgarian troops, the condition of Madame Tsilka, Miss Stone's companion, is even more pitiable owing to her expected accouchement. The dispatch says that the belief that Miss Stone is concealed 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 authorltlese, as the prisoners were reported to be concealed there. Troops are also searching tbe neighboring hills. There are other matters In the letter which It Is not deemed wise to publish.

Mr. Dickinson complains constantly of attempts to interfere with the communication he Is seeking to establish with the brigands. It Is believed that the Bulgarian authori ties nre socking to pave the way for a denial of responsibility for an Indemnity by exhibiting unnecessary activity In the pursuit of any persons who might be supposed to be able to Inform them of the whereabouts of Miss Stone. The belief is strong among the officials here that lu the near future they will succeed lu securing Miss Stone's release. It is true that the principal issue is one of the amount of ransom to be paid and this delays the negotiations, for the brigands, fully aware of the exact amount of money at the disposal of tbe United States' agents In Turkey, are holding back evidently In the hope of having that amount Increased.

Consul General Dickinson conferred today with M. Daneff at the Bulgarian Foreign Ottiee. and It is understood that Mr. Dickinson made representations against the movements of the troops. NAPLES' TAMMANY IN PERIL The Cammorra May be Overwhelmed by City's Public Opinion.
