M'CONNELL WHATLEY. 46. 117 21st Street, eod COMMANDER HARRIS And the Enlisted Men from the Teresa Ordered to Proceed to Norfolk. Washington, November I. Harris, who was tn command of the cruiser Maria Teresa at the time of her abandonment, has been ordered to proced from Charleston with the enlisted men formerly attached to the Teresa to the navy yard at Norfolk.

No additional details were received at the department today concerning the condition of the Spanish warship, but it is assumed that the wrecking ships Potomac and Vulcan which were sent to get relief are using their utmost endeavors to draw her off the beach at Cat Island Into deep water with a view to towing her to a place of safety. Tho report that the tide rose and fell within the wreck would seem to Indicate that she Is In need of extensive repairs before she can be made to float. Whether the leakage can be stopped while she lies In her present position In two fathoms of water remains to be seen. The Vulcan equipped with all the tools and machinery for 4he ordinary repair of ships of war, and unless the Teresa Is damaged to a greater extent than la believed to be the case, the facilities at hand are aufflclent to put her to be towed to a United States llort, when the conditions are favorable. When the wrecking expeditions return with or without the Teresa, an Investigation will be Instituted to determine the responsibility for the abandonment of the Teresa.

AUBURN ELEVEN FAILS TO SCORE University of North Carolina Makes 24 Points. PRETTY FOOTBALL PLAYING Auburn Feels Gratified That They Held the Carolinians Down Better Than Georgia Did Last 75-Yard un. Auburn, November University of North Carolina won the football game with Auburn this afternoon by a score of 24 to 0. The game was too onesided to be exciting, but all through the game both tetfms put up a splendid exhibition of football playing. The feature of the game was fast and snappy team work and a 76-yard run for a touch-down by Captain Rogers.

While Auburn was disappointed tnat its team did not score against the visitors, the game was on the whole very satisfactory to the wearers of the orange and gold. In last Saturday's game the Carolinians scored 30 to 0 against the University of Georgia at Macon, and the iact that Auburn reduced this score by 12 points is very gratifying. The result of the two games gives an excellent idea of the strength of and teams, which are to meet in Atlanta on Thanksgiving Day. The teams lined up us follows: Auburn. Position.

N. Carolina. Mitcham, Capt. center.Cunningham Wert.right guard.Philter Hill.left guard.Cromartie Martin.right tackle.Bennett Harvey.left Park.right end.Gregory Kichelberger.leit end.Konlen Hugeley.quarer.. Capt.

Haralson.right half.McKue Feagin.left half.Austin Hkeggs.full.Graves Thule made Carolina's first touchdown about five minutes aftter the game began. McRae made one more touchdown during the first In the second half Graves, Rogers and Howell made the winning plays for the visitors. These five touchdowns made 20 points, and Greogory kicked all of the goals except one, running the score up to 24. The scoring under ihe old rules would have counted 2 points for each goal, but under the new rules of the southern colleges only 1 point is allowed for a goal. Captain Rogers and Gregory did the star playing for the visitors, while Captain Mitcham and Hugeley are the toasts, such toasts as there are, for Auburn tonight.

Only a few accidents happened during the game and all of them are trivial. Local Football Lights have been put up in the tennis courts of the Athletic club, and work with the pigskin will begin in earnest tonight. Nearly all of the men are equipped with football clothes, and It is thought that there will be ljttle or nothing to Interfere with the nightly practice. Captain Belden, who was in Auburn yesterday to see his old college, North Carolina, defeat Auburn, will return today. AT SEWANEE.

Team Returns from a Viotorieus Trip to Texas. Sewanee, Tenn. November The foot ball team of the University of the South has returned from Its long trip to New Orleans and Austin, crowned with success. It defeated the University of Texas at Austin last Thursday by a score of 4 to 0, and the Southern Athletic club, of New Orleans, on Saturday by a score of 23 to 0. Sewanee has not been scored against this season.

The team has every hope of winning from Vanderbilt In their annual gume on Thanksgiving Day. Surgeon Charles Pollard, of the Fifth ImmunCs, who has been at Sewanee for the past month or two since he returned from Santiago, recuperating his health, has returned to Montgomery. He was accompanied by his brother, who has been here with him. Robert S. Jemison, of Birmingham was one of the debaters In the Trent contest recently held at this place, and his friends think that It was his speech that won the debate for his side.

Baltimore, November Herman G. Dresel, of the United States navy, committed suicide lnl the Carrollton hotel today by shooting himself in the head. From papers found on his body it Is surmised that he killed himself because he ha- been ordered to Manila to Join the United States steamer Zatiro. Lieutenant Dresel, soon after reaching this city, went to the Carrollton, rented a room and committed suicide. Almost Immediately after his entering the room a pistol shot alarmed the employes of the house, and a search showed that the lieutenant was dead.

In one of his pockets was found an order from Secretary Long, dated November 11, M7 little six-months old girl had Eczema. Wo used all kinds of remedies, but sho Lent getting worse. I used to wrap her hands np, and to dress her, had to put her on the table. I could net bold her, she would kick end scream, and, when she could, sho would tear her face and arms almost to pieces.

A telegram addressed to Lieutenant C. H. Fales, in Washington, and signed by Dresel, which was found on the dead man, requested Pales to exchange orders with the writer, and it was evidently the intention of Dresel to have sent this.

Lieutenant Dresel was well known at the navy pay office in the custom house here. No one cpuld assign any cause for the act except his unwillingness to go to Manila. He is described as a pleasant, cheerful man, with no bad habits. Dresel was 38 or 40 years of age. He entered the navy on September 22, 1876, at Annapolis, having been appointed from Ohio.

On May 14, 1896, he was made a lieutenant. During the Spanish-American war he served on the Puritan. Following the war he was transferred to the Essex, and it is said the transfer to Manila was made on account of his value as an officer, which marked him out for continued active duty. He had no family so far as is known here. COL.

j. hTbLiss Says the City of Havana is in a Filthy Condition. New York, November the passengers who arrived here on the steamer Yucatan from Havana today was Col. J. H.

Bliss, of the subsistence department of the army. Colonel Bliss was ordered to Cuba October 1 to locate camp sites. He brings with him a report of the work done there, and this report he will take to Washington tomorrow. When asked as to the present state of affairs In Havana, the colonel said that the city was in a filthy condition. do not he said, "that the city has ever been in worse shape.

The people are seriously alarmed over the spread of yellow fever. They realize that there are no facilities for fighting the disease, and that it will spread quickly If the city remains in the present san tary condition. The people there seem to think that the city is a good place to keep away from. Spaniards are bringing their troops from the interior cities to the coast towns, and I believe that they are going on as fast as possible with the work of The colonel continued: have succeeded in locating sites for camps around Havana, Matanzas and Cardenas. The sites selected have been chosen with a view to their elevated positions and their advantages for good drainage.

I believe they are located in the best positions, and that the health of the soldiers will be good. Besides, the winter is coming, and then yellow fever will die IN HANDS OF RECEIVERS. Large Coal Companies Succumb to the Pressure of Creditors. Cincinnati, November Turney and Jones Coal company, of Columbus, and the Pennsylvania and Ohio Fuel company, of St. Paul, with offices also in Chicago, w'ere today put into the hands of a security and title company, of Chicago, as receivers by the federal court.

These companies are among the largest operators in the Ohio coal fields. Their troubles commenced in the summer of 1897, with the coal strike which caused them a loss of over $200,000. This summer they bought very large quantities of coal which is still on their- docks, while their collections have been slow. As they bought the coal early a great deal of paper has fallen due before receipts were coming In. The crisis was brought about by New York parties'! declaring due the whole of an issue of $280,000 of obligations because one of the installments was not promptly paid.

The liabilities amount to $1,200,000. The officers of the company claim they will pay the liabilities in full if the assets are properly handled. The mines of this company furnished one half of the coal of the Columbus, Sandusky and Hocking railway, and the future of that property depends largely on what is done by the newly-appointed receivers.

Problem Was Raised in a Motion to Dismiss the Petition to Adjudicate That Concern a Bankrupt. An interesting question of law was raised in the United States court yesterday afternoon, which, if decided adversely, may precipitate a clash of authority between the United States and state courts. The question was raised in a motion to dismiss the petition to adjudicate the Marcus Dry Goods company, a bankrupt under the involuntary clause of the bankruptcy act. The motion to dismiss was made by Attorney E. H.

Cabanas, representing Ike Adler and Attorney Morris Loveman, representing H. B. Claflin and other creditors. The assets of the Marcus Dry Goods company are already in the hands of a receiver appointed by the chancery court of Jefferson county, and it is held by the counsel for Adler and others that the bankruptcy court would have no jurisdiction in the matter, and that the granting of the petition would precipitate a clash of authority between the United States and state courts. It is perhaps the first time that a United States court has been called upon to decide the question, since the passage of the bankruptcy act, the Involuntary feature of which went into effect on November 1 last.

The facts of the case a9 presented by the counsel are substantially as follows: On October 22 last the stockholders of the Marcus Dry Goods company petitioned the chancery court for the dissolution of the corporation and nominated J. Pollack, of Mobile, for receiver, which was granted, Mr. Pollack being named as receiver by Chancellor Carmichael. Receiver Pollack disposed of the stock of dry goods at 1913 Second avenue to one Rosenau, of Tuscaloosa, for $3,500, which sale was approved by the court. A petition for the removal of Mr.

Pollack was filed In the same court a few days after by the creditors, In 'which it was charged that tho dissolution of the corporation was a scheme to hinder, delhy and defraud the creditors, and that the stockholders, Pollack and Rosenau, were in collusion to perpetrate the alleged fraud. On November 8 Mr. Pollack resigned as receiver, It being agreed that all charges of fraud be withdrawn against him. The sale to Rosenau was also set aside and invalidated by agreement. On November 10 the court appointed Otto Marx as receiver, been suggested by some of the 'creditors.

Mr. Marx at once qualified by giving bond in the sum of $8,000, and took possession of the assets. He wras directed by the chancellor to make an inventory of the stock of dry goods and to sell same at public outcry after having advertised same for five days. In the meantime an answer to the bill of Adler Claflin was filed by the stockholders. alleging that there was no tii ention of fraud upon the part of the stockholders, and denying the allegations of collusion upon the part of Pollack and Rosenau with stockholders to defraud the creditors.

In the answer it was further alleged that a few days prior the filing of the petition for dissolution the Marcus Dry Goods company transferred and sold to Ike Adler goods and merchandise to the amount of $3,500 in settlement of a claim against the corporation, which in his bill he alleged w-as still due and unpaid. It was also alleged by S. Marcus, president of the corporation, that the dissolution was made at the instance of Adler, who threatened attachment unless the corporation was dissolved and himself nominated as receiver. Marcus further alleged that he led Adler a false hope, In order to protect the interests of the other creditors. He also charged that Adler had collected interest on $2,000 from the corporation for a period of six months at the rate of per cent, per month, and set up the plea of usury.

On Friday last Langfield Bros. Co. and other creditors filed a petition in the United States court to have the Marcus Dry Goods company adjudicated a bankrupt and that a trustee be appointed to take charge of the assets and dispose of same for the benefit of all creditors. Arguments were made yesterday on the motion to dismiss, in which numerous authorities under the bankruptcy act of 1867, which was afterward appealed, were quoted. At the conclusion of the arguments Judge Toulmin took the matter under consideration and will probably render his decision this morning.

Hooper said yesterday that his special report to the legislature would be out in printed form in a day or two, and that all mine bosses and others desiring copies can obtain them by sending their addresses.
