Haven Men to Succeed.
NEW HAVEN. Cann.r Nov. 24.Vlctory
long delajed perehed upon the Blue ban
ner of old Yale today, when the football
team of the Yale University smothered
the crimson, of Harvard in the annual
contest plajed on Yale field. .For the
first time since 1SW, Yale .scored a victoqy
over Harvard, and today she toOk sweet
revenge for Harvard's merciless .perform
ance In" NeW Haen two years ago, when
the crimson rejoiced over the blue by the
score of 17 to 0. Today Yale administered
a Waterloo to the. tune of 23 to 0, It was
Yale from the first kick-off, and the war
riors of the blue seemed bent on punish
ing Harvard to the limit. In the first
half Y&le scored two touchdowns. In
the second half she repeated this perform-.
ahce, and in addition to tearing out two
touchdown. Sharpe, the Yale halfback,
lifted a -field .goal, from the 2-yard line.
In the first few minutes of the game
by means of her stalwart rush line, the
famous tackles back formation, with con
fusing variations, tote through the Har
vard forwards for the first touchdown for
Yale. An easy goal made the score 6 to 0.
A few attempts at rushing were followed
by a Harvard punt. Gould, the Yale
end, muffed the ball, and It bounded Into
Finoke's hands. Like magic Yale's In
terference formed, and Flncke, falling on
it, started down the field for Harvard s
goal. He left his Interference behind after
a few yards and eluded the Harvard
baoks, and after1 a magnificent run of GO
axds he planted the ball squarely behind
the goal posts for the second score. Hale
kicked the goal, and the first half ended
with the score at 12 to 0 In Yale's favor.
The second half was a killing one for
Captain Daly's men, and it was not long
before they gave way before the unprece
dented onslaughts of the Yale men. Bur
nett .had succeeded Lee Just before the
first half ended. Shortly after, the kick
off of the second naif, the crimson sup
porters w-ere thrown Into a panic when
Daly, who had been limping, went back
to the side lines, and 'Harvard had lost
her captain. la rapid succession Har
vard's men surrendered, and before the
game 'was over the crimson team had
played 29 men. The only Yale man to
leave was Olcott, the center, whp, with
five minutes to play, sustained a blow on
the head and Holt todk his place.
The scoring of the second half was of
the spectacular order. Chadwlck, the
Yale halfback, was pushed across tne line
after a series of marvelous line plunges
which Harvard was utterly Incapable of
checking. SUllmap. a few minutes later,
almost unaided, tore down four chalk
linos for the fourth touphdow n. Sharpe' s
punt out for one of the goals ended n a
fizzle. Repeated Yale rushes "brought
the ball within striking distance, and
Sharps was dropped back for his second
attempt at a field goal. The Yale, men
held like a stone wall. and. Sharpe lifted
the leather without -trouble. It Jlew
toward the goal posts, struck one of the
uprights and glanced through. This end
ed the scoring.
Yale's goal was never In danger, "Hatji

Details df the Game.
Captain Daly called the turn of the coin
and Harvard, took the nprth goal,, with
the wind, giving Yale the kck-off. The
start was a fajse one. for Gould started
before the ball was put in place. Yale
was penalized five vards. Once more
the ball was kicked off. this time from the
-50-yard line, and Sawin, who caught it,
immediately returned it to Flncke on
Yale's 50-yard line, where the teams. Uned
up for their flrst scrimmage. On the first
play. Hale made three vards through
Eaton and followed It up with four more
between the Harvard left tackle, and
guard. It was seen right here this early
in the game that the Harvard line could
not hold back the fierce lunges of the
Yale backs.
From her 6&-ard line Yale walked the
ball just as at Princeton a week ago
right down to her opponent's goal line,
principally through a guard run of Sharpe
for X yards round Campbell's end Line
plunging, mostly by Hale and Chadwlck
through Eaton and Lee. carried the ball
right up to the Harvard two-yard line.
A touchdown seemed inevitable, but
Flncke fumbled and Lawrence, falling on
the ball, saved his, team from .being
scored against just at that time. Sawin.
kicked on the flrst down, but it was a
feeble effort, for instead of getting the
ball .half way down the field, he kicked It
out of the bounds on. htst own 26-yard line.
Erotn this point Yale once more began
a. rush for Harvard's goal and this time
succeeded In crowing it. Bloomer went
over, for the touchdown in just li minutes
of actual play. Hale kicked a most
dtfitouit goal and the Yale bleachers
rocked under the storm of S000 frantic
sympathizers, for the blue.
The second score came only after 15
minutes of the hardest kind of play, dur
ing which Harvard had the ball practic
ally -for the flrst time In the game. An
exchange of kicks gave the crimson a
first down on Yale's 51-yard line and the
Harvard side of the field held its breath
when Ellis banged Into the Yale line.
But the speed and fierceness which, tore
the Pennsylvania line to pieces was no
avail agalnet Yale, and after three downs
It -was ald that the Yale line was
adamant. Ellis could est but a few piea
gcVyards and Sawin failed to gain around
the ends so that Harvard had to Jsick.
The speed of the crimson ends prevented
Thjcfce'F -running back of, the-punC but
the Harvard ,llne could not stop Hale,
Bfooarar and Stlllman, vhe two latter
being ued for the flrst time. Without a
break Yale carried it 75 yards to Har
vard's Sft-yard line. rwhere the crimson
got it through holding in the Yale line.
Then came the second score. Sawin
panted immediately again, a short one,
but Gould made a bad muff on Yale's
50-yard Jlae, Fortune telv for the blue.

rest of the play In this half was in Yale's
territory, although her goal was never in
danger, r Just before the half ended, Bur
nett took Lee's place at left guard and
the substitution of new Harvard players
began. The play ended with the ball in
Yale's possession on her own 37-yard
line.
Naturally, the Yale team came, back
from the 10 minutes' rest in the best of
spirits, while Harvard seemed deter
mined. There was considerable kicking
In the flrst pari of this-period. Daly ran
bacK one of Hale's punts to Yale s 52
yard line, but Ellis could not gain. Har
vard managed to get five yards, however,
through holding in the Yale line, but not
an Inch would the Yale men yield against
Eaton, Ellis or Sawin, who were pushed
and thrown at the blue stone walk 'With
the ball on Yale's 40-yard line, Sawin
tried a goal from the field, standing on
the 60-yard line, The ball went straight
enough, but the wind held it back, and
Flncke caught It on the 10-ynrd line. Aft
er Sharpe had been thrown back for two
yards. Hale kicked far down the field.
There was some fumbling on Harvard's
25-yard line, and finally Yale got the ball.
On the second down, Hallowell was
neatly boxed, and Chadwlck made a beau
tiful 20-yard run for Yale's third touch
down. The punt out was muffed, and no
attempt was made for the goal, and tho
score stood 17 to 0. New men, who were
constantly being sent into the Harvard
line, seemed to strengthen the crimson
team, for" Yale was held and forced to
kick. After it had been returned, a fum
ble gave Harvard the ball on Yale's 55
yard line, and Hallowell managed to get
it slxv yards after picking It up. All sorts
of plays were tried by Harvard, but not
an Inch, could the crimson get beyond
Yale's 30-yard line, the nearest point to
Yale's goal reached by the crimson. A
bad pass was caught by Coy, of Yale, on
the fly, and, with a clear field, he ran 40
yards for Yale's fourth score. Hale
kicked another easy goal, and tho score
was 2? to 0.
Then' came more kicking, for Harvard
could not advance on running plays On
the crimson 30-yard line, Sharpe made his
first try for a goal from the Held, missing
the posts by a few yards. He soon had
another chance, however, after good rush
ing had placed the ball on Harvard's 15-
r yard line. The ball struck the right-hand
port, put fortunately it bounded the right
way and dropped between the uprights
and over the bar, which brought Yale's
score up to 28. where It stayed.
By this time, the Harvard men were be
ing put out of the game rapidly. Bow
ditch and Hallowell left the grounds both
In bad shape, while Barnard was also
take out. Olcott, of Yale, was replaced
by Holt, the only change in the Yale
team during the day. The remainder of
the play was entirely in Harvard's terri
tory and just before the close, Flncke, of
Yale, made a fine run of 30 yards after a
punt. The game ended with the ball in
the center of the field.
Wisconsin, 2T Illinois, O.
MADISON, Wis, Nov. 21 Wisconsin
ran up a score of 27 points against the
University of Illinois on Randall Field
this afternoon, and with the exception of
a few minutes during the first half kept
their own goal-line entirely out of danger.
Straight line-bucking and tackle plays did
the work. From beginning to end the
game was a series of line smashes, in
which both teams did pretty wcrk. Illi
nois, though plainly outclassed, plaved
hard football all the time, and the most
peculiar feature of the game was the
great stand they made inside their own
yard-line, which gave them the ball on
downs and staved off for a time the In
evitable touchdown.

OUR COAST DEFENSES.
Annual Report of the Board of Ord
nance and Fortifications.
WASHDMGTON. Nov. 24 Tho annual re
port of the Board of Ordnance and Forti
fications sums up concisely a largcamount
of1 experimental work accomplished hy the
board during the past year. A 'general
statement of what is needed in the future
is contained n the following paragraph:
. "The work of equipping our coast forti
fications is progressing rapidly, and a
large oortion of the new armament is al
ready installed. There is imperative
need for an adequate force of trained ar
tillerists to care for and man the guns
now mounted. The board therefore deems
it within Its province to Invite the atten
tion of Congress to the necessity of re
organization and material Increase of the
artillery arm of the service.
"In this conrection also the board rec
ommends that steps be taken at an early
dat? to provide the coast artillery per
sonnel with suitable ranges and other fa-
' ditties for carrying out each year a sys
tem of practical drill and target practice
with heavy guns under conditions ap
proximating those of actual service.
"As the primary object of the, defenses
is to protect the harbors and waterways
along our coasts tue gunsare as a rule so
placed that target firing with full service
charges and at the longer ..and more Im
portant ranges can seldom take-, place
without endangering the lives and. dam
aging the property of private citizens.
This is particularly true in the case of
fortifications defending the larger, har
bors where there Is shipping constantly
in ran?e, and where private houeesare In
such close proximity to the gun? as to
be seriously affected by the shock.
"At, least three 'suoh practice ranges
should be provided one for the North At
lantic, one for the South Atlantic and
Gulf and one; for the Pacific Coast."'
A reference to the Intention of rearm
ing the artillery branch of the service Is
the only statement that can be conslrued
as 'having the slightest bearing upoh the
French gun secret' Oil the 'Other hand,
tb show that the United States service
has secrets of its own, the report refers
to important tests pf- Professor Landiey's
flying machine now in progress, but in
such generaKterms. as to throw no light
on the rebultc achleyed lp that directioti.
Realizing the Importance pf Increasing
the rapid-fire, batteries for coast defense
purposes, the board has recommended the
adoption of a pedestal type of barbette
mount for four, five and six-Inch gyne. It
proposes a series -of competitive tests
during the coming year to obtain a new
field gun, and expresses the opinion that
the United States will then secure for
the use of Its troops the most efficient
material of Us kind yet produced.
No progress was made during the year
in the development of the use of high
explosives. The estimates for experi
mental work during the coming year ag
gregate J100 000, and a matorlty of the
board uggest a plm of disbursement by
which either the bureaus of the War De-
,partment or the board Itself, as indicated
by the Secretary of war, snail control
expenditures.

MINISTER FROM ACRE.
Representative of the "Rubber Re

CHICAGO, Nov. 24. A special to the
Chronicle from Denver, saysi
Henry W. Phillips, the first Minister to
the United States from the new South
American Republic of Acre, registered
here from Arleopolls. "Arjeopolls," said
Mr. Phillips, "is the capital city of the
Republic of Acre, the 'forest republic,' we

The Chronicle in reference to the above,
says:
"During the past 15 months a new. re
public, known by the name of Acre, has
sprung up In the forest countryk being
partly in Brazil and partly in Bolivia. It
has been established by a rich Brazilian
banker and rubber dealer named Arch,
who has set himself up as President of

ARMY IN PHILIPPINES.
Some Obstacles Encountered by the
Supply Department.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 20. The follow
ing extract from the report of the Quartermaster-General
will give some Idea of
the obstacles that have been encountered
by united States Army officers in the
Philippine Islands since tho American oc
cupationi
"The rapid advance of the Army, the es
tablishment of new posts, and the supply
of these posts has made the work of the
supply department, with the limited
moans at hand, one of great difficulty.
This can be better understood When It Is
considered that this expansion has been
from a few posts near the basis of supply
to oer 350, many of them situated at re
mote and almost Inaccessible points. The'
establishment of subdepots for the differ
ent districts and regular guarded trains
of supplies from the subdepots to the out
lying posts have been a necessity.
"A large number (In fact, all that have
been asked forj of mules, wagons and
cavalry horses have been shipped In from
the United States, until now the commend
is fairly well supplied wim transportation
and cavalry horses. More will be re
quired from time to time to meet losses
and supply additional posts as they are
necessarily established.
"Tho depot at Manila has grown, to
meet the demands for the 'supply of ove
60,000 men. When it is considered tuat
all of the supplies for this large force
have to pass through the depot at Manila;
that all of the vessels bringing supplies,

wont is -It requires a largo force of men

TWO ISLAND NAVAk STATIONS.
Report by Nary Officer on Conditions
at Cavlte and Guam.
WASHINGTON, Nov. 20TThe following
extract tfrom the report of the Chief of
the Bureau of Equipment, Navy Depart
ment, give an idea of conditions and need
ed changes at tho naval station at Cavlte,
in mo .rniuppines: j
A 'All tne coai required zor snips in tne
Philippines is forwarded from the At
lantic Coast, and stored at the Cavlte
naval station. Something over. 5000 tons
per month is consumed. Reference was
mode in the report of last year to the
method of storing coal, viz , in the open
without any protection from the weather.
rTJils method has been continued. As out
lined .in last year's, report, a civil engi
neer was sent to Cavlte for the purpose
of; acquiring the necessary information
to draw plans and specifications for the
erection of a pier and large coal-storage
houses, with the necessary conveying ma
chinery, at Sahgley Point, near the Cavlte
naval station. This has been completed
and the plans and specifications made by
Civil Engineer H. R. Stanford, who was
detailed for this duty, are now being
passed -upon by a board of officers. It is
hoped that the bureau will very soon be
able to advertise for bids for the construc
tion' of this plant.
"The naval station at Cavlte is rapidly
being Improved, and is already capable of
doing a large amount of equipment work.
There will soon be in operation a Very
good electrical workshop. There Is much
jelemand for work of this kind on the part
of th$ ships on the Asiatic station. Pri
vate electrical work commands a very
hih price; the bureau is advised by the
Commander-in-Chtef of the Asiatic sta
tion that all work under this bureau else
where is unsatisfactory in character and
expensive. Coal is still transferred from
ship to shore by means of lighters and
manual labor."
The report also deals with the naval
station at Guam, in the Ladrono Islands,
as follows:
"Reference was made In last year's- re
port to the necessity of establishing at
Guam naval station a large coal depot.
When the survey of the harbor of San
LuIb dTApra was completed and the chart
printed. It became apparent that an ef
ficient coal depot at this port would be
orery expensive to establish. As. the
harbdr is without any facilities whatever
for commerce, the bureau thought ft wise
that an entire system of harbor improve
ments, with harbor 'lines, etc., should be
established previous to commencing ex
pensive coal-storage works. It was not
-without much regret that this construc
ts was postponed, since this island con
stitutes the only stopping pjace between
Hawaii and tho Philippines, and It is of
the utmost importance that a large coal
Supply shquld be kept constantly On hand.
"In accordance with the act of Congress
approved June 6, l&W, making provision
or emergencies In river and harbor
Works, etc., a commission composed of
two naval officers and one army officer Is
naw en route to this port, for the purpose
of making a survey, plan and estimates
for -the improvement of this port. When '

beon very desirous of establishing there
the necessary facilities for the storage of
a largo amount of coal; it will, however,
involve a large expenditure. The port
is so deficient In the qualities of jx good
harbor that It Is deemed wise to wait un
til a comprehensive scheme of harbor im
provement Is devised.. Owing to the geo
graphical location of Guam, being the
only United States port between Hawaii
and the Philippines,' the bureau deems it
of the utmost importance to establish
there a naval station and base with fa
cilities for repairing ships and supplying
them With adequate stores of all kinds."

Chanler, brother of William Astor Chan
ler. He defended Henry Allshoe on a
charge of assault and secured his acquit
tal. Allshoe had neither coat nor vest.
He was shivering in the lobby, when
Chanler congratulated him. "Take my
coat,'' said the lawyer, throwing a mag
nificent imported garment over the man s
rags, and slipping him $5. "Let me know
how you get along," and before the dazed
ex-prisoner could stammer out his thanks
Chanled turned up his coat collar and
sprang into a passing cab. A J1S0 over
coat and a $5 bill are bad combination
for a man with no shoes on his feet and
only the piece of a hat Several times
watchful policemen were tempted to ar
rest him. Allshoe says the coat will be
the turning point In his career, and, con
trary to cynical prophecies In the court
house, he has not pawned it.
MAYOR STRONG'S WORDS.

clans, to their sorrow, will long remero
ber his Individuality and utter disregard
of political ties. Essentally a man of
business, he conducted the city, adminis
tration as he did his bank and dry goods
house.
Republican machine politicians found
Mayor Strong impossible to manage.
When it came to giving out the appoint
ments they tried in every way to get at
him, and failed. Finally Mr. Piatt him
self tried it. His pithy and epigram
matic summary of his experience became
famous. It was this:
"The wicked old man took me Into his
parlor and learned my secrets, and then
buncoed me."
Mayor Strong's "damn" was far-famed.
In administering the oath of office as
Commissioner of Jurors td Major Film- '
ley, he said, Impressively: T want you
to promise mo that you will conduct your '
office as something between yourself and
God. And," he added, as he turned away, I
"I don't give a damn for your polities."
A committee went to -the City -Hall to
urge the appointment of Peter J. Carpen
ter as Dock Commissioner. They told the
Mayor Carpenter was a good Republican.
"I am sorry for that," said the Mayor,
"otherwise I might appoint him. I have
already put two Republfcans in the !ock
Board, and now I've got to put a Demo
crat there to watch them," ind he
laughed heartily.
