THE CITY OF HAMlIrOX.
Hamilton Is the capital of Wentworth
County, Ontario, and 18 on Burlington
Bay, at the wrstern extremity of Take
Ontario, 70 milee northwest of Buffalo,
It Lb on tho Canadian Grand Trunk ank
Toronto, Hamilton A Buffalo railroads.
It aa founded In 1813, and has many
One public buildings and educational In
stitutions. It has many factories for
iron castings, machinery, agricultural
Implement!., sewing maahlnes, musical
instrument, glassware, woodenwaie,
woolen and cotton good, soap and can
dlea, oboes, leather, etc. It Is the center
of the fruit district. The population in
1901 was 62,631.
HAMILTON, Ont.. Nov. 25.-Never In
Hamilton's history were such scenes of
disorder and lawlessness seen as were
enacted In the principal streets of the
city last night. Scores of rioters, sym
pathizers with the striking streetcar men,
felt the weight of policemen's night sticks
and the keen edge of the soldiers' swords
In conflicts on James and King streets.
At a late hour streetcars were running
at Intervals under heavy guard, but they
did not carry passengers and continued
to be the targets for fusillades of stones
and bricks from Side atreets and alley
ways. Drastic as were the measures taken
by the authorities last night, it was plain
that the mob spirit had not been broken.
Kiot Act Head, Troops Called.
The crowds began to gather at dusk.
Tho officers at once saw that trouble
was brewing and made their preparations
accordingly. Fights on the streetcars be
gan as early as 7 o'clock. The police
wielded their clubs freely, but the situ
ation became too serious for them to
handle. Sheriff Middleton was notified
and he immediately read the riot act,
which makes every able-bodied citizen
amenable to police duty. He also notified
Captain Ogilvle that the aid of troops had
become necessary to keep order.
At 8 o'clock a concerted effort was made
by the police and soldiers to clear the
streets. James street In the vicinity of
the City Hall was packed with a dense
crowd of yelling hoodlums and hundreds
of other people who had been attracted
to tha scene more by curiosity than to
take part In the disorders.
Police Charge Furiously. -
The police charged this crowd first.
They wielded their clubs with telling ef
fect. The absence of stern methods In
previous disorders had led many to be
lieve that the police would not resort to
harsh measures tonight. The officers
were met with jeers and Insults. Smash
ing right and loft with their heavy night
Micks, the police waded into the crowd.
Men and women suffered alike, and soon
.the pavement was marked by many un
conscious forms. The mob, realizing that
the police meant business this time, began
to retaliate with stoms and other mis
siles.
Cavalry Disperses the Slob.
At this point, the clatter of horses'
hoofs ou the pavemont announced the
approach of the cavalry, and the crowd,
attacked from both sides, broke and fled
down side streets and through hallways
Into back alleys.. The streets in the
vicinity of the City Hall were cleared
but It waa only temporary relief for the
authorities.
The crowd soon began to converge on
King street. A streetcar with detectives
on board came along and became the tar
get for a fusillade of bricks and stones.
The strike-breakers and detectives de
serted tho car as the mob grew in vol
ume and their lives were endangered by
the avalanche of rocks. They were fol-
lowed by a section of the crowd and
given a severe beating. The streetcar was
derailed and literally torn to pieces be-
fore the militia could reach the spot. The
mob melted away as the soldiers charged
with fixed bayonets.
This was the last concentrated detnon
utration made by the rioters during xne
evening, although disorders on a smaller
scale wsre frequent up to midnight.
Hundred Injured, Many Arre.sts.
At 1:30 the authorities appeared to
have the hltuatiun well in hand, although
it is realized that the trouble is by no
means over. It is probable that the lo
cal officials will ask for more soldiers.
The streets are strewn with debris. Many
plate-gla.ss windows in stores were broken
by fiylnsr missiles.
Twenty of the rioters were landed at
the poce stations. The policemen ar
rested 'scores, but the crowd rescued the
prlscrs.
AWLESSNESS
L-Iy 109 pyre cms wore treated at the
hospitals. Their injuries, however, are
not serious. They had been hit by clubs.
The soldiers, as a rule, used the fiat of
thelf swords and the butt-ends of their
rifles.
Frank Fitzgerald, whose skull was frac
tured in last night's disorders, is at the
point of death.

ASTORIA. Or., Nov. 24. (Staff Cor
respondence). The testimony of in
coming captains, as well as bar pilots
and tugboatmen is all to the effect that
seldom if ever has there been a longer
period of severe weather than that
which extended through the greater
part of the months of October and
November. With gale succeeding gale
in such alarming frequency it has been
impossible for vessels to make any
headway against them.
That the vessels of the Portland-bound
fleet were not the only
ones to meet with exasperating
delays is shown by reports from
Puget Sound. In the story of the re
markable voyage of the British bark
Iverna, mention .was made of her un
successful attempt to enter the Straits
of Fuca and her narrow escape from
destruction on the west coast of Van
couver Island. That Captain Collings
wood exercised good judgment in re
turning to the latitude of the Colum
bia River is shown by the experience
of the storm-bound fleet that is now
arriving on Puget Sound.
Bark Bidart Loses One Man.
Telegraphic advices which announced
the arrival at Port Townsend of the
French bark Bidart on the same day
that the Iverna reached Astoria have
been supplemented by fuller details
of the rough experience of the ves
sel. The vessel lost nearly all of her
sails, one man was washed overboard,
and for 12 days neither master or crew
were able to secure any rest. The
Tacoma Ledger in an account of the
trouble off the entrance to the Straits
of Fuca says:
Two weeks ' afro the vessel would hare
beeo in port had she been able to speak a
tuff. However, the weather was so severe,
that It was impossible to ret In close. It
was November 8 when she first made Cape
Flattery. But the master reports that there
was nothing but fog and very dirty weather.
Consequently be had to keep far off shore
and at on. time was forced to put 100 miles
out.

Not only did the severe storm make
it impossible for foreign ships to enter

narrow escape of the American bark
General Falrchild, which was off Cape
Flattery two weeks, as follows:
While attempting to make the entrance

NEW HAVEN, Conn., Nov. 24. Tale's
bright blue banners wave triumphantly
over the city tonight, the signal of an
other victory over Harvard, the final
score being 6 to 0. The crlnwon went
down to defeat in a desperate battle
which in football strategy and spectacular
plays has had few equals since the two
universities have met. To Tale passed
the almost undisputed title of the college
championship of the country, -clouded only
by the drawn no-score contest with
Princeton a week ago.
A victory for the crimson would have
meant first honors beyond question, for
she had beaten the Carlisle Indians, who
last week won from Minnesota and who
also had defeated the University of Penn
sylvania, the conquerors of the Univer
sity of Michigan. For this reason, if for
no other, the game on Tale field was of
unprecedented importance, and to Tale
once more nasi come a victory which will
live forever in her athletic history. It
was a victory won through football
knowledge, superior play, almost unerr
ing accuracy in developing the possibil
ities of the new rules, and the magnificent
work of players. : The score of a single
touchdown and goal repeats that of last
year on Soldiers' Field, and it adds to
Tale's string of victories, only twice
broken since 1897.
Harvard Fights Gamely.
Harvard proved a worthy foeman. Her
men repeatedly ehone conspicuously and
the flashes of brilliancy in overplays, as
time and again her backs broke through
the line and her stalwart guard. Burr,
sent the ball twisting through the air on
long punts, seemed to be entitled to a re
ward. Harvard was a trifle slow In ex
ecuting her' plays which, as last year.
seemed to hinge on her great strength on
defense.- Tale's success lay in playing
offensively at the opening, driving her
plays hard and taking advantage of every
opening when her opponents had the ball.
Interference, forward passes) and onside
kicks 'were well developed. Not
once did a Tale ' man have to
run down the field without i
slstance. As the game was nearing
HARVARD
the close Tale played faster and rolled
the crimson line into a heap time and
again. It was only Harvard's stubborn
contest of every inch that kept the score
at uie single figures.
Scores on Sensational Play.
i
The touchdown followed a sensational
play. Tale had the ball on Harvard's
25-yard line. Jones called for a kicking
formation. Veeder dropped back to the
34-yard with his hands outspread. A
perfect pass from Hockenberger sent the
ball into his hands and Veeder, like a
flash, started at right angles and hurled
the ball over the heads of the Harvard
men for a 30-yard pass to where sev
eral Tale men, as though drawn by a
magnet, had jumped into one little knot.
Up from their midst leaped Forbes, who
caught the ball and in an Instant placed
it down on the four-yard line. Up rose
the Tale hosts, with cries for a touch
down, while ths crimson side was
hushed. Roome, who had replaced Knox,
was sent to smash the crimson line. His
first try gave two yards and the next
time ho .was shot over, with the whole
team dragging and pushing him. That
four yards showed what Tare, could do
when she was hungry for the score which
was so close at hand. The kicking of a
goal was an easy thing for Veeder.
Monster Crowd Present.
The gridiron was framed with a mass
of humanity. In which three sides were
blue and the other crimson. The cheer
ing and singing while good, fell 'far
short of that of previous years, explain
able only by the fact that the spectators
did not have much time to pay much
attention to the cheer leaders. Not a
seat was vacant and at the gate a few
stray tickets brought phenomenal prices,
one pair changing hands at $50.
The game opened under gray skies,
but was concluded in radiant sunshine
and under a canopy of blue. The Har
vard stands at the opening cheered Tale
and Captain Morse, and the opposite side
returned this compliment. At the close
of the game the jubilant Tale host stood
bareheaded for 15 minutes in front of
the Harvard stand, cheering and sing
ing to the crimson, the latter responding.
Tale has always cheered Harvard, but
never before has she turned It into an
ovation :

Yale Wins the Toss.
Tale won the toss and chose to defend
the north goal, being thus aided a trifle
by the wind. Burr sent the oval spinning
to Tad Jones on the blue's five-yard line,
and the game was on.
Tale felt out the crimson line, but failed
to find an opening, and Veeder kicked.
The punt was partially blocked, but
rolled to the middle of the field before a
Harvard man nailed it. The crimson
made a brilliant get-away on the first
chance, Newhall and Lincoln executing a
double pass for 25 yards, and took the ball
to Tale's 23-yard line. Here the bulldog
showed his teeth, and the crimson dash
was checked. Burr attempted to drop
kick, goal, but the ball was blocked and a
Tale man captured It In midfield. Each
tried a little line-smashing here, and Har
vard succeeded in making one first down
by plowing through Tale's center, but in
nearly every instance the 10-yard proved
too much and on the last down a kick or
a forward pass was in order.
Both Sides Hold.
After each side had been penalized for
holding, Veeder booted the ball across
Harvard's goal line. The ball was brouglit
to the 20-yard line, where Burr punted to
Knox, who returned It to Harvard's 20
yard line, after the most spectacular run
of the game, a 40-yard dash through the
entire Harvard team.
With a goal in sight. Tale began pound
ing the Harvard tackles for steady gains,
and had reached the eight-yard line, when
a double pass was attempted. H. Jones
received the pass, and with no one near
him he muffed the ball on Harvard's two
yard line. MacDonald fell on It and Burr
quickly booted it out of danger. Follow
ing an exchange of kicks, T. Jones and
Veeder executed a successful double pass
good for 40 yards that gave Tale the ball
on Harvard's 22-yard line.
Here the crimson braced and Veeder at
tempted a drop-kick from the 35-yard line.
The attempt went five yards wide and
Harvard kicked out from the 20-yard line,
Irvine running it back to the Harvard
40-yard line before being downed. Veeder
and Morse then worked an on-side kick
good for 25 yards. On the next play the
blue wag penalized 10 yards, and it was
Tale's ball on Harvard's 25-yard line.
Sons of Eli Score.
Tale tried straight football, but could
not get in, and Veeder dropped back for
an apparent try at a field goal. Instead
he made a beautiful forward pass to
Forbes, which gained if yards. A straight
buck was stopped by the Harvard line
men without the gain of an Inch, but on
the next attempt Veeder, aided and
dragged along by beautiful interference,
went through Pierce for a touchdown and
a moment later kicked an easy goal.
Score: Tale 6, Harvard 0.
"Burr kicked behind Tale's goal line
and the ball was brought out and punt
ed. An exchange of kicks followed
and the fight ended with the ball In
Tale's possession on her 45-yard line.
Tale kicked off to Harvard in the
second half and a punting duel fol-'
lowed, in which Burr more "than held
his own against Veeder. The ball was
finally forced into Harvard's territory

OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash
ington. Nov. 24. Senator La Follette of
Wisconsin may have strengthened him
self before the people at large by his
series of attacks upon his fellow-Sena- j
tors, but he has not helped himself in
the Senate. On the fontrary he Is very ;
apt to prove a "dead one" when he re- I
turns to Washington to face the men he (
attacked during the Summer. La Fol- j
lette by his course not only aroused the I
enmity of the various Senators he as- -sailed,
but he has incurred the ill-will of ,
many others who do not approve of any j
Senator's going about the country criti
cising his colleagues in their own states.
Such practice is frowned upon by the
Senate, and k Is not considered good form
for any Senator to make an assault upon
another, unless it be In the heat of de
bate, and even then personalities are sup
posed to be eliminated.
The truth is the Republicans of the 1
Senate don't like La Follette and never
did. When he landed in the Senate
La Follette assumed a high and .
mighty air as Senator; took the position
that he was right and his colleagues
wrong, and immediately proceeded to
quarrel with everybody who did not agree
with him. He assailed some of the best
men In the Senate, men who had the re
spect of the country and the confidence of
the President. With them he attacked
Senators of less favorable repute. But
his attacks were bitter, and the Senate
was quick to show Its resentment. Na
turally, after La Follette had assumed
this attitude towards Republican Sen
ators, they in turn were not disposed to
support Legislation in which La Follette
was primarily Interested, and because of
this fact they prevented a vote on La
Follette's bill regulating the hour3 of
employment of railroad employes.
Roasts Opponents in Kevengc.
The sidetracking of this bill only -aroused
La Follette the more, and, when
Congress adjourned, he threatened to
"roast" those Senators who had incurred
his enmity. His conduct through the re
cess has Justified his words; he certainly
came forward with a choice selection of
"roasts." He began In Indiana before a
gathering of Indiana voters to whom he
had been introduced by Senator Hemen
way. The very first thing he did was to
put Hemenway on the gridiron and roast
him to the queen's taste. He cared noth
ing that Hemenway was present. Then
he went to New Jersey and handed an
other roast to Senator Dryden. Out in
Kansas he assailed Senator Long, who
was close to the President during the
perfection of the rate bill, and then
crossed into Iowa and attacked Senator
Dolllver, who was regarded through that
long fight as the President's spokesman.
In each case he based his attacks on the
attitude of the various Senators towards)
the rate bill. Up In Minnesota he turned,
on both Senator Nelson and Senator
Clapp, and only a short time ago, after
being Introduced by Senator Smoot,,
turned his heaviest artillery on the al
ready much accused Mormon Senator. H,
wound up with his attack -on Senator
Fulton, of Oregon, and Senators Ankeny;
and Piles, of Washington.
Always Votes With Democrats.
Every one of these Senators had vote
against La Follette's proposed amend
ments to the railroad rate bill, but they;
did no more to defeat them than any one
of a dozen other Republican Senators. In
fact, the only votes that were cast fop
most of the La Follette amendments were
cast by the Democrats, the Republicana
as a body voting against him. The record
shows that during the one session he haa
been in the Senate, La Follette has voted
almost every time with the Democrats
and against the Republicans. This is a.
remarkable record for a man who aspires
to leadership in his party, for La Follette
was elected as a Republican, and came
to Washington with hopes of taking front
rank among Republican Senators.
The trouble with La Follette is diag
nosed by his Republican colleagues as a
severe case of enlarged cranium. In Wis
consin La 'Follette was a power; he was)
a big toad in a little puddle. He came trf
Washington flushed by victories In Wis
consin and, like many another statesman
before him, expected to cut as much fig
ure in Washington as he had cut in Wis
consin. That Is not a privilege accorded
any new Senator. The biggest man, no
matter what his previous record, must
serve out a probationary period when he
first enters the Senate. If he does not
bow to the unwritten rule of thatbody,
he Is made to suffer. That is as sure as
fate.
La Follette is coming in for a thorough
squelching at the hands of the majority
In the Senate, but how it will be worked
out is still a matter of surmise. The Re-
