THINK COLONIAL SECRETARY" NEEDS A MI ZZLE. The Explanatory Letter of Mr. Chamberlain's Secretary Only Adds Fuel to the Flame—Antt- Brltish Movement Not Artificial, •says German Press—llls Criticisms Ipon the Prussian Army Cannot Be Forgiven—British Admit That lie “Put His Foot in It.” Berlin, Nov. 23.—Germany continues to ring- with protests against the refer ence which Mr. Chamberlain, the Brit ish colonial secretary, made to the German army in his speech a Edin burg. Meetings are being held every day and there is no sign of abatement of the agitation. The pastors society of Gladbach Is circulating a protest which has already secured the signatures of nqr pastors, ’mve W urtemberg Veterans Society has issued a warning against attaching too great importance to one man’s utterances. The letter from Mr. Chamberlain’s secretary is pronounced here to be quite unsatisfactory, for, as the papers note, Mr. Chamberlain takes nothing back. The press generally regards the letter as another insult, and reject the assumption that the anti-British move ment is artiflcial. On this point the Cologne Volks Zeitung asserts that the movement is as spontaneous as it is possible to imagine, adding • that the government J)as tried by every means to suppress it, bit failed in the effort. Other papers describe the movement as being the most remarkable of its kind ever witnessed. The Liberal or gans, like the Tageblatt and the Vos siche Zeitung, try to prove that the movement is directed exclusively against Mr. Chamberlain, and not against Great Britain, but the_ Frank . furter Zeitung admits that German pa triotic feeling has been inflamed in an unmistakable manner against Great Britain. THE CYNICAL CHAMBERLAIN. Joey Is Indifferent to Criticism Both at Home and Abroad. London, Nov. 23.—Once more has Joseph Chamberlain, the colonial secre tary, proved his right and title to be this moat thoroughly hated British statesman. The storm now raging in Germany over his animadversions on the Prussian army has had a powerful reflex in Great Britain, where regard less of party ties, Mr. Chamberlain has been severely criticised for uselessly “putting his foot into it.”. On all sides can be heard irritated expressions of opinions by English business men and politicians, who, while they perhaps believe Mr. Chamberlain was correct in what he said, denounce the uttering of 6uch sentiments. It is recalled that Mr. Chamberlain’s utterances regarding the Czar'and the Anglo-American-German alliance have been the causes of the only serious outbreaks of anti-British feeling on the continent in recent times. It is no exaggeration to say that the financial world of England would be delighted to see Mr. Chamberlain muzzled when intending to speak on England’s foreign relations. As might be expected Mr. Chamber lain himself takes the whole affair with his usual cynical indifference. He is staying quietly at Birmingham and is not exhibiting any particular interest In the storm which he has raised. At the colonial office a representa tive of the Associated Press was in formed that Mr. Chamberlain does not desire to enter into any controversy and stands by what he said. If the German papers continue to misrepre sent him (this is Mr. Chamberlain's rolnt of view), why, it cannot be helped. As at the other government depart ments, the belief exists at the colonial office that the whole agitation will die a natural death, and that everything will come out all right. There is no doubt, however, that by this latest break Mr. Chamberlain has seriously, perhaps irreparably, damaged his reputation with the bet ter classes in England. BOTH PRISONERS COMMITTED. Jackson and Disn dollar Held (or Trial for Their Vile Practices. London, Nov. 23.—Public interest in ihe hearing of the charges against Theodore Jackson and Laura Jackson (Ann O’Delia Diss de Bar) at the Marlebone Police Court, has been sur feited by their reiteration and there were only a few people in court when the hearing was resumed to-day. The 1 hild, Daisy Adams, was recalled and sharply cross-examined bv the female defendant, with a view of showing that her alleged intimacy with Theo dore was not her first experience in v ice. Both of the prisoners, testifying hi their own behalf, denied the charges made against them. Jackson said he had been the adopt sd son of “Swoml," as the female pris oner has been frequently referred to, for twenty years. Though the case waa adjourned for " week, the magistrate announced that he would commit the female prisoner 1 t trial on the charge of swindling, "mi that he would commit Jackson on charge of unnatural practices. 1 "lb prisoners will be committed on ’he charge of committing criminal ‘'faults on a girl under sixteen. * "Sat Tolstoi la All Hl|kl.

A Long Card Given and a Showy Parade of Prise Winners—A Bril liant Wind-up. New York, Nov. 23. —The longest card of the week at the horse show was reserved for the closing day, and its several attractive features served to bring a large crowd to Madison Square Garden.

The ring committee was as follows: Day—A. J. Cassatt and George P. Wetmore: evening—William C. Whit ney and J. C. Hecksher. The Finish a Brilliant One. The wind-up of the Horse Show to night was a brilliant one. Five cham pionships were called and this made the ring spectacles brilliant. On the promenade, in the boxes and orchestra seats in the rear all the leaders of so ciety were present. One of th“ pleasing features of the afternoon had been the presence at the show o( the graduating class from West Point. When the afternoon ex hibition was over the cadets became the guests of the president of the Na tional Horse Show, Cornelius Fellows, at dinner, which was given in the cafe on the Garden. There were fifty-three memberes of the class present. The evening programme began with the judging of a class for harness horses for special prizes offered by Frank J. Gould. The Messrs. Lawton had three entries in this class, but none of yiem showed and Joseph E. Widener scored a comparatively easy victory with Gabrael. In the middle weight champion class, Kinloch, Charles Hurkamp. of Freder icksburg, Va., was successful. TRAGEDY ABOARD THE CYMRIC Ohio Man, Cased With Insomnia, As saults His Wife With a Knife nI Then Almost Severs His Head.

Duke of Devonshire Make* Uie of Mr. Adams’ Eulogy. London, Nov. 23.—The Duke of Dev onshire. addressing the volunteers at Eastborne to-day, referred to the eulogy recently pronounced by Charles Francis Adams of Boston upon Gen. Robert E. Lee. The Duke said he was quite sure had Gen. Lee failed to rec ognize defeat when it came, and had he allowed the Confederate resistance to degenerate into the sort of guerilla warfare now being carried on in South Africa, not only would the Federal government not have granted the Southerners the honorable terms it did, but Lee’s name would to-day have been generally execrated by every pa triotic citizen of the United States.

Prominent Memplil* Woman Indict ed for Poisoning Husband. Memphis, Nov. 23.—The grand jury to-day returned an indictment against Mrs. Maud Emma Hooks, prominently known, charging her with the murder by .poison of her husband. Several weeks ago C. G. Hooks, a well known business man, died under suspicious circumstances. A chemist was ordered to exhume the remains of Hooks and perform an autopsy. The chemist re ported to the coroner that he had found enough powdered glass and arsenic in the stomach to cause death. The case was immediately placed before the grand jury. Later in the day Sheriff Blackwell placed Mrs. Hooks under arrest. She was told she would not be confined in jail, but that the deputy would remain in the residence until a bond could be arranged. Mrs. Hooks expressed no surprise at her arrest and said that from the trend of events the last few days she rather expected that an indictment would be found against her. “I am innocent of the crime,” was her only comment At 4 o’clock this afternoon Judge Cooper, of the Criminal Court, fixed bail at $20,000. which was promptly fur nished by Mrs. Hooks, and she was released from custody. She will be call ed upon to plead to the indictment o • Monday next. Mrs. Hooks was born and reared in Memphis, her maiden name having been George Emma Ashcraft.

J., where she was taken after her arraignment in court. She Is said to be much improved in her physical con-, dition. Mrs. Dale is under guard, day and night.

Mrs. Dale, however, claims that she derives her income from the estate of her grandfather, and that it is her’* during her lifetime. Sne could get no benefit, she is said to have stated, by the death of her child, and she pronounces the story groundless, and denounces It as a cruel outrage.

Charleston. S. C.. Nov. 23.—The week ends with the opening of the South Carolina Interstate and West Indian Exposition only eight days off and all the builders and exhibitors on the rush.

The principal groups of stat uary have been placed in the court of palaces. A carload of art exhibits, val ued at SBO,OOO, came last night, and several more are on the way from Buffalo and New York. The interiors of the buildings are being beautified by their rich decorations and the mer chants and manufacturers of the <*ty have declared their intention to make the opening day a public holiday. The grand parade on Monday, Dec. 2, will be under the command of Lieut. Col. Charles Morris of the United States army. A letter was received from Sec retary Long to-day saying that the ships of the North Atlantic squadron will be at Charleston as near the open ing day as possible, and the great un dertaking is developing into the most significant event that has taken place in the South in the last quarter of a century. Some weeks ago a delegation from the exposition company conferred with the Secretary of War at Washington as to the practicability of sending one of the government transport ships to Cuba to bring a large number of Cu ban merchants and planters to the ex position for the purpose of examining the conditions of cotton manufacturing in this country, with a view of extend ing the markets for American goods in the West Indies. A letter was re ceived from the Secretary to-day say ing that the ship would be sent on this mission of peace, and It is expected that there will be a “Cuban” day at Charleston sometime during the expo sition, which will open anew door for the cotton products of the South and New England in a country which is now largely supplied by foreign man ufacturers. This is one of the first practical proofs of the great import ance of the exposition from a commer cial and industrial standpoint, and there will be a great many more as the full purpose of the enterprise will develop from time to time. The interest in the exposition is growing steadily every day. Two or three days ago the construction of the Louisiana Purchase Company’s build ing was begun and the site has been finally determined upon for the Aba kan building, and to-day the site was selected for the Cincinnati building. The Philadelphia building will be for mally accepted by the commissioners from that city during the next few days, while the Illinois building is ready to receive its furniture and all lucky visitors who shall have the good fortune to be entertained under its hospitable roof.

J ALL HOPE ABANDONED. Bodies of Missing Mine Officials, Who Went in Search of Bnrled Miners, May Be Lost Indefinitely. Pocahontas, Va., Nov. 23. —All hope of finding the eight mining officials who entered the West mine yesterday to search for bodies entombed by the recent explosion in the Baby mine has about been abandoned. Up to 1 p. m. to-day nothing had been heard from them. A rescuing party entered the mine this morning, but were able to proceed only 300 yards. They found the coat of Superintendent O’Malley hang ing on a peg about 200 yards in the mine, but discovered no other trace of the party. The mining experts now here have decided upon a plan of attempted res cue, but the mine officials refuse to give any Information to the public. Hopes had been entertained up to this morn ing that the party had escaped through the Tug river outlet, ten miles away, and messengers were sent at an early hour to this point. They failed to find any trace of the party. Assistant Superintendent King, who led the rescuing party yesterday and who was overcome by black damp, has entirely recovered. He says it is im possible for a human being to live fif teen minutes in a mine in the condl tlon In which this is. It hit' been raining hard since early morning and the main entrance to the mine presents a gloomy appearance with the friends and relatives of the missing men standing around. At 9 o’clock to-night nothing had been heard from the missing mine officials. No effort has been made to enter the mine since early morning, it being impossible to do so on account of the enormous accumulation of gases from the Baby mine. Until the pas sages connecting the two mines are entirely closed and the gas forced out by means of large fans it will be im practicable to explore the mines. Large forces are working day and night to free the mines from gas. but it is im possible now to form any definite idea, as to when the mines will be consid-' ered safe for searching parties to en ter. Some who are familiar with the mines claim that it may be several days before such party could enter. C. S. Thorne of Philadelphia, the secretary and treasurer of the com pany, is still on the ground, and is in direct charge; sparing neither expense or energy in an effort to recover the bodies. President Campbell of Philadelphia is en route to the scene, and is ex pected to arrive to-morrow morning. The fire has now been burning ten days. Including the eight missing men, the probable total-death list dur ing the period numbers seventeen per sons. As late as 6 o’clock this evening hundreds were gathered about the mine entrance anxiously awaiting some tidings. SPENT NIGHT NEAR QUANTICO. \ Weather Prevented President From Waylaying the Darks.

The Harvard men required about five minutes In which to start their superb football machin ery. After that Yale was never in the playing. In scrimmage tactics, line plunging, punting and drop kicking, the Yale men were completely out classed. The Harvard players gave also a demonstration of uniform play that was remarkable, and as a result the colors of the crimson waved in joy during the greater portion of the two hours occupied by the contest. Thirty-six thousand spectators, a greater number than ever before gath ered at a football game, watched the battle from the mammoth stands. Three-quarters of the enormous crowd cheered Harvard, while 9,000 sympa thizers tried to encourage the over whelmed wearers of the blue. Harvard presented a team, the per sonnel of which was unchanged from start to finish, and the players who won glory for the crimson, were al most as full of dash when the referee’s whistle sounded for the last time as they were when it sounded for the opening kick-off. Yale, on the other hand, required sixteen men to meet the onslaught of the Harvard plung ers. Panic came t 6 Yale and sympathy went to Yale from the Harvard thou sands when the crack quarter-back, DeSaulles, as a result of a flying tackle, which prevented another Harvard score, was hurt. A blow on the head made him unconscious. Later it be came necessary to remove him from the field on a stretcher. As the game progressed Weymouth, Chadwick and Gould were compelled to retire in fa vor of substitutes. A Cleverly Played Game. The game was as cleanly played as any ever witnessed on this field. Not one instance of slugging or unneces sary roughness was visible. Three penalties were imposed by Umpire Mc- Clung and Harvard from the over anxiety of hSr players thrice lost ten yards of distance for holding, off-side play, and Interference. Harvard scored seventeen of her points in the first half. In the second half Harvard re sorted to more punting. Yale played much better football In the second half, and Harvard had to be satisfied with a touch-down which failed of a goal. Harvard, after the first five min utes of the game, had possession of the ball the greater part of the time. Her goal line was really never in dan ger. Once in the first half Yale land ed the ball on Harvards 20-yard line, where Harvard forced DeSaulles to try for a goal from the field. He failed. In the second half Yale, by the fierc est play, reached the enemy’s 9-yard line, only to lose the ball on downs. The crimson’s weightier line and faster back field worked out the touch down the second half, but Cutts could not make the goal against the wind. In the Locker building, after the game, Harvard’s players were all in the highest spirits. Not a man was seriously injured. Kernan’s weak an kle was strained a little and Cutts hurt his knee slightly, but the rest of the men showed no effects beyond a few scratches and black eyes. Vale Badly Broken I p. The Yale team was very despondent and took their defeat hard. There were many who limped badly. De- Saulles was the worst injured. He was kicked on the head and It was thought at first that he had concussion of the brain. The Harvard students, after their celebration at the field, marched through the square and around the college yard, cheering and singing. Red fire waß burned on every side and fire* works were set off. Finally the men started for Boston to finish their denrj onstration. The line-up follows: Harvard. Position. Tale.
