CAMBRIDGE, Mass., Nov. 22. Confi
dence (in the prospects of the Harvard
team a Its game with Yale tomorrow was
shakex late tonight by the announcement
that fie athletic committee would meet
in tty morning definitely to pass upon
Ittght Tackle Cutts' status. This came
as a surprise, .as Harvard men had no
knowledge, and In fact they have not yet,
of aiy evidence submitted by Yale, or
any pne else, upon which to base the
question of Cutts ineligibility. Cutts sub
stitute is Dick Lawrence, brother to
Georfe Lawrence, of last year's team, but
his Jarm Is far below that of Cutts, both
In Ujie and in rushing the ball at tandem
formation.
The Harvard eleven had light signal
practice for about 15 minutes this after
noon, after which they were sent off the
fielcf without doing any further work. The
different formations went off very smooth.

FOOTBALL OX THANKSGIVING.
Great Game Between Multnomah and
"University of Oregon.
Preparations are being made for the big
Thanksgiving ' football game between
Multnomah and the University of Oregon,
and If the rainy weather ceases before
Thursday the contest will be witnessed by
an Immense throng. Ample facilities for
handling the crowd will be made, and
there will be no crowding In upon the
side lines, as has been done heretofore.
Manager Buckenmeyer has begun the
work of advertising, and the street-car
signs and shop windows will soon tell
of the great gridiron struggle. The Mult
nomah -men are hard at work, for they
realize that the Oregon team is a comer,
and that nothing but systematic team
play can win the game. George McMil
lan, who spent three weeks at Stanford
this year, is working hard with the play
ers, and promises to have them in excel
lent condition for" the battle. McMillan
expects to enter the game, and will play
left end.
The Oregon men are working diligently,
and, although handicapped by a light line,
they expect to give Multnomah a hard
tussle. On November 2. when the first
Oregon-Multnomah game was played, the
collegians clearly demonstrated their abil
ity to play football, excelling the heavy
clubmen in every department of the game.
Multnomah was not in good condition at
the time, nor will the wearers of the red
and white be in the excellent physical
form which their opponents will display
in the coming contest. Oregon will have
an advantage In team work, speed and
condition of the men. while Multnomah's
greatest chance of victory lies in the su
perior weight of the club players. Reno
Hutchinson, a graduate- of the Univer
sity of California, will act as one of the
officials, but the other has not yet been
selected.
PORTLAND ACADEMY VS. HILL'S.
Scholastic- Elevens "Will Contest To
day for Championship.
The football teams of the Hill Military
Academy and the Portland Academy will
play for the interscholastlc championship
on Moultnomah Field this afternoon, com
mencing at 2:30 o'clock.
The Hill eleven Is in better form now
than at any time, this season, and dis
interested persons say that the Portland
Academy team will have to put up Its
best game in order to win out. Captain
McCuIlepr is recognized as one of the
best interscholastlc players In the North
west, and Coach Montague has trained
the whole team to play hard football.
The Portland Academy team will enter
the game without Fullback Chalmers,
-who is on the shelf with a badly-damaged
foot. "Williams, the star halfback. Is
in poor condition, and Hughes will prob
ably play in his place. The men have
been shifted around this week and are
not in the best of condition. Coach
Dolph and Captain Stott are determined
that their team shall win, and every
man will play good ball.
OREGON VS. PACIFIC.
College Football Teams Will Meet In
Forest -Grove November 30.
A football game has been arranged be
tween the teams of the University of Ore
gon and Pacific University, to be played
in Forest Grove, Saturday. November 30.
The Oregon eleven will play with Mult
nomah on Thanksgiving day, next Thurs
day, and will not be in very good shape
for the game in Forest Grove. However,
Manager Redmond expects to have a
number of good substitutes with him, and
some of them will doubtless play against
Pacific.
The record made by the Pacific University-
eleven thfc year is a good one,
and the game with Oregon will con
elude Pacific's most successful football
season.

TWENTY-FIVE LIVES LOST.
Extent of the Oisaster at the Tclln
ridc Mine.
TELLURIDE, Col., Nov. 22. The work
of recovering the bodies of the victims
of the disaster In the Smuggler-Union
mine has progressed slowly until at 11
o'clock today, 60 hours after the breaking
out of the fire at the mouth of the Bullion
tunnel, the last body was brought to
the surface. It was that of John Nevella,
and was found in one of the stopes of
the seventh level. The death list now
numbers 25, the brave engineer who sacri
ficed himself in an effort to rescue his
comrades having died this afternoon. He
did not regain consciousness after being
taken from the mine, and was only kept
alive so long by the most arduous work
of the physicians in attendance.
The revised list of dead is as follows:
August Kaauter, Flnlander, family living
at Tellurlde; Charles Mackl. wife living
at Tellurlde; Therwald Torkelson, wife
in Norway; William Merrlwether, wife
and family at North Fork; John Nevella,
wife and family at Tellurlde; Allk Fill
man, wife living at Tellurlde; Iva Sund
strom, wife and family at Sliver Plume;
Battlsto Oberto, Antone Ausel, John
Rassori, Elol Berzago, Joseph Ecrzago,
Emll Dahl, James Nelson, John Ahle,
Matt Starck. Alexander Barkley, John
Peterson, William Jones, William Gra
ham, Frank Zadro, Mark Zadra. Gus
Sundborg, Allen Hcndrlckson, Swede, and
Hugh J. O'Neill.
Except those indicated, all were single
men, so far as known. All in the mine
at the time of the fire are now accounted
for and at noon the search for bodies was
practically abandoned. There Is yet a
possibility that others may be found in
stopes not reached, but this is not
thought probable, for the day shift did not
have time to reach any distant stopes
when the alarm of fire was given. The
exploration of the ninth level was com
pleted today but no bodies were found.
The workings are not yet sufficiently free
from gas to make it entirely safe to ex
plore all parts of them.
The responsibility fqr the disaster has
not yet been fixed and no one at Tellurlde
is blamed. The Coroner has held an in
' quest over the bodies at the morgue and
several of them have been sent to rela
tivas in various parts of the state. The
citizens today completed arrangements
to bury the others with honor tomorow
afternoon. All places of business will
close at the request of the Mayor. Tho
services will be held in the theater and
all the ministers of the city will take
part. It Is said that the company will
close its mine for about 30 days, during
which time the workings, which were
damaged to the extent of more than $50.
000, will be repaired -and will then reopen
with a force of between 700 and 1000 men.

NEW YORK, Nov. 22. When the offi
cers who comprise the court which is try
ing Colonel Meade resumed their Investi
gations today, Captain Benjamin A. Ful
ler, assistant Judge-Advocate, who was
Judge-Advocate at the court of Inquiry
held in the navy-yard last July, testified
to what had taken place there. On cross
examination, the witness stated that once,
when he was on duty at the Boston navy
yard, Major Lauchheimer came to his
(Captain Fuller's) room, and said he hatd
just come from 'the Puritan Club, after
closing it up.
"What was his condition? Was he sober
or tight?" asked Lawyer Semple.
"He was under the Influence of liquor,'
replied the witness.
The witness then went on to state that
he had Induced Major Lauchheimer to go
to his room, but the Major returned later,
having removed his outer garments, and
Captain Fuller had to draw a curtain over
the window In order to screen his visitor.
Colonel George S. Reed testified that aft
er Major Lauchheimer had returned to
Washington from his inspection of the
marine barracks at Brooklyn, the Major
told him that he was embarrassed during
his Inspection and drill on account of the
Inebriated condition of Colonel Meade, and
the witness said he told the Major that
the only thing for an Inspection officer to
do was to state the truth in his report.
The witness said he never heard of any
effort of any officer to prevent Colonel
Meade from succeeding to the Brigadier
Generalship of the Marine Corps. He told
of Colonel Meade being advanced two
numbers because of his courage and effi
ciency at the battle of Tlen-Tsin.
Lieutenant Harold C. Snyder, of Colo
nel Haywood's staff, testified that he had
never heard of any effort to discredit
Colonel Meade or prevent his candidacy
for succeeding Brigadier-General Hay
wood, who will retire in October, 1903.
Major Charles H. Lauchheimer was re

said that he had not solicited the
orders which directed him to Inspect the

and said that he had never entered into
any conspiracy or league with any person T
In order lo injure or retard colonel Meaae

of the Marine Corps. In
reply to the Judge-Advocate, in direct
examination, the Major said. September,
1897, he had been ordered to Boston, where
he was in consultation with the District
Attorney for several days regarding a
legal matter In connection with the de
partment. He was a guest of Captain
Kane at the navy-yard and had dined at
Captain Kane's house prior to going to
the progressive party at Colonel Meade's.
He said he was absolutely sober on that
occasion, and denied that his conduct on
that evening was anything other than
that of a gentleman. He told of his being
the guest of the Puritan Club in Boston,
and said that on one occasion he had
given a dinner to five or six gentlemen
whom he had met there. In recognition of

ANOTHER RAILROAD DEAL
POSSIBLE MERGING OF THE LINES
OF'THB HARRIMAN SYNDICATE.
Talk of an Organisation for Western
Lines Similar to the JTarihern
'Securities Company.
NEW YORK, Nov. 22. Horace G. Burt,
president of the Union Pacific; J. K.
Krutschnitt, vice-president of the South
enTPaclflc; and S. M. Felton, president of
the Chicago & Alton Railroad, arrived in
this city last night, and today attended
meetings of their respective boards of di
rectors. It was also said that they were
called here to attend a special conference
of the operating heads of all rdads of
which Mr. Harriman Is the official head.
No statement was obtainable on this
point, however. There has recently been
some discussion as to the possible merging
of the various lines composing what is
commonly known as the Harriman syndi
cate under an organization similar to the
Northern Securities Company, -but no re
sponsible authority can be obtained for
this report.
GOVERNOR SAVAGE DECLINES.
Not Concerned In the Consolidation
of Northern Lines.
OMAHA, Neb., Nov. 22, General C. F.
Mandersoh, general solicitor of the Bur
lington road, said today that the report
sent out from Lincoln, stating that Gen
eral Manager Holdredge, of his road, had
held important conferences with Gov
ernor Savage with regard to proposed
suits against the roads concerned in the
Hill-Harriman plans, was absolutely with
out foundation.
"There has been no combine, so far as
the Burlington is concerned," said he,
"and we have too many live matters on
hand to worry about those that have not
cotne to life yet. It Is true Mr. Holdredge
was at Lincoln, but he did not go there
for the purpose of sounding the Governor
on .this subject, as the dispatch states, nor
do I think that it even came to a discus
sion." A special to an evening paper from Lin
coln says:
"Governor Savage, who recently consult
ed with Attorney-General Prout In regard
to the investigation of the consolidation
of the various Northwestern railways,
with a view to obstructing the deal If a
violation of the state law was apparent,
made a statement today declining to meet
Governor Van Sant, of Minnesota, to dis
cuss the suppression of the merger. He
says there is no consolidation apparent In
Nebraska, and -Minnesota affairs are not
subject to Nebraska interference."
Probable Northern Pacific Changes.
NEW YORK, Nov. 22. According to
Wall-street reports, believed to be based
on good authority, certain changes in the
Northern Pacific directorate are to be
made, in view of the agitation In Minne
sota against the joint operation of the
Northern Pacific and the Great Northern.
Influential Interests in the organization of
the Northern Securities Company said to
day that while they believed that the
company's plans for controlling the North
ern Pacific and Great Northern roads
could not be upset through legal proceed
ings based on allegations that they con
flicted with antl-consolldatlon laws of the
different states, some changes might be
forced. It was held by these interests
that there was a question as to 'whether
President Hill, of the Great Northern, un
der a strict Interpretation of present laws,
had an unquestionable right to be a mem
ber of the board of directors of the North
ern Pacific Railway. The same doubt ex
isted as to the right of E. H. Harriman,
chairman of the Union Pacific, to be a
member of the Northern Pacific board. It
was asserted that It was not impossible
that both of these officers might retire
from the Northern Pacific board.
Van Snnt's Proposed Conference.
ST. PAUL, Minn., Nov. 22. Governor
Van Sant today sent to the Governors of
North Dakota, Montana, Idaho and Wash
ington letters stating the facts, so far as
he has ascertained them, with regard to
the alleged attempt to consolidate the
Northern Pacific andGreat Northern
railways, and asking for their opinion as
to what action should be undertaken.
The Governor declined to give out the text
of the letter.
Should the other Governors be favorable
to united action, It is possible that a con
ference will be called for at an early date.
Sucn meeting will probably be at St. Paul,
because It Is here that the Northern Pa
cific and Great Northern Companies have
their headquarters, and If an action at
law Is brought to break up the proposed
consolidation. It Is most likely to be

Council, at its meeting Thursday night,
granted to Sam Benin, of Aberdeen, a
two-year franchise to put in and operate

THE LAST PROPOSAL.
Dickinson Will Give Bandits Ten
Days in Which to Accept Offer.
SOFIA, Nov. 22. Mr.- Dickinson, the
diplomatic agent here of the United
States, started today for Constantinople,
there to confer with Spencer Eddy, secre
tary of the United States Legation, as to
the best means of hastening a solution
of the deadlock which has arisen In the
negotiations for the release of Miss
Stone. Mr. Dickinson will probably return
here, bringing with him cash with which
to pay Miss Stone's ransom, as her kid
napers insist that this payment shall be
made in Turkish gold. Mr. Dickinson has
considered tho advisability of presenting
an ultimatum to the brigands, fixing 10
days as the period within which 10k000
must be accepted by the brigands as Miss
Stone's ransom. If this proposal Is not
accepted by her captors, all dealings with
the bandits, so far as the United States Is
concerned, will cease. If these conditions
have not already been dictated by Mr.
Dickinson, the usual ultimatum compris
ing them will almost certainly be deliv
ered as soon as the American diplomatic
agent returns from Constantinople.
According to information here, both
Miss Stone and Madame Tsllka continue.

With the diffusion of knowledge of what a laxative

that it should have a truly laxative and beneficial
effect and be wholly free from every objectionable

usually disagreeable as well. In Syrup of Figs one

In the process of manufacture figs are used as
they are pleasant to thetaste, but the medicinal

A Nevr Catarrh Cure, Which Is Rap
idly Coming to the Front.
For several years, Eucalpytol, Guaiacol
and Hydrastin have been recognized as
standard remedies for catarrhal troubles,
but they' have always been given separ
ately and only very recently an ingenious
chemist succeeded In combining them, to
gether with other antlseptlces into a
pleasant, effective tablet.
Druggists sell the remedy under the
name of Stuart's Catarrh Tablets and It
has met with remarkable success In the
cure of nasal catarrh, bronchial and
throat catarrh and In catarrh of tho
stomach.
Mr. F. N. Benton, whose address is car
of Clark House, Troy, N. Y., says: "When
I run up against anything that Is good I
like to tell the people of It. I have been
troubled with catarrh moro or less for
somo time. Last Winter moro than ever.
Tried several so-called cures, but did not
get any benefit from them. About six
weeks ago I bought a 50-cent box of
Stuart's Catarrh Tablets and am glad to
say that they have done wonders for me
and I do not hesitate to let all my friends
know that Stuart's Catarrh Tablets are
the right thing."
Mr. Geo. J. Casanova, of hotel Griffon,
West Ninth street. New York City, writes:
"I have commenced using Stuart's Catarrh
Tablets and already they have given me
better results than any catarrh cure 1
have ever tried."
A leading physician of Pittsburg advises
the use of Stuart's Catarrh Tablets in
preference to any other treatment for
catarrh of the head, throat or stomach.
He claims they are far superior to in
halers, salves, lotions or powder, and aro
much more convenient and pleasant to
take and are so harmless that little chil
dren take them with benefit as they con
tain no opiate, cocaine or any poisonous
drugs.
All druggists sell Stuart's Catarrh Tab
lets at 0 cents for full size package and
they are probably the safest and most re
liable cure for any form of catarrh.

Dickinson Will Not Give Up.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 22. The reason for
Consul-General Dickinson's departure from
Sofia for Constantinople, as reported n
the press dispatches today, Is not known
at the State Department. That he In
tended to leave Sofia was known, and It
is assumed he has found that his im
mediate presence In Bulgaria, where ho
is hampered in his attempts at com
municating with Miss Stone by the Bul
garian officials, Is harmful to her cause.
The movement does not mean that the
State Department has decided to abate his
efforts tdward securing Miss Stone's re
lease, and the fact Is that these efforts
will be continued In another and more
promising direction.
