CAMBRIDGE, Mass., November 16, 1893. Now that the Harvard-Yale game is scarcely more than a week off, we can see some order coming-out of the chaos of the early part of the season when “star” suc- ceeded and “find” followed “find’ in wearying succession. As the season ap- proaches a close this much may be truth- fully said of the Harvard players: They have worked hard and faithfully. From the day that Capt. Waters issued his call for candidates last spring, until the present moment, hard work and plenty of it has been the motto, A hustler himself, the crimson captain has infused a good deal of his spirit in his men. The coaches, too, have been untiring in their efforts. “Alto- gether, if Harvard succeeds in realizing Walter Camp's prediction and triumphs over the blue at Springfield, the victory cannot be said to be undeserved. ‘There is a much. “easier” feeling about Cambridge now that the New Haven play- ers have actually been scored against. The spell of the Yale name is broken. That long period of constant victory, unmarred by a single point scored by an opponent,has at last been forced to give way. Notwithstanding the encouraging predic- tion of so high an authority as alter Camp, and the fact that Pennsylvant succeeded in breaking through the Yi line for a touchdown on last Saturday, there is no disposition here to believe that Harvard has a “sure thing.” They recog- nize, as one New Haven enthusiast recently put it, that “Yale is not defeated until the ies blows at the end of the second It is the Yale grit, the Yale tenacity which has frequently succeeded in wrest- ing victory out of the throes of defeat—this is the unknown quantity disturbing the crimson supporters the most. Harvard withdrew this week altogether from. public practice, and is now playing im secret in soldiers’ field. Here they are practicing some of the tricks they saw at New York last Saturday, especially with a view of breaking up the new style of in- interference introduced by Pennsylvania. The make-up of the team is settled upon with the exception of right end and one of ips half backs. They are playing as fol- lows: -.--Center. x Right guard. Newell. Right tackle. Blanchard Right end. Quarter. -Half back. lark... :Halt back. Waters (captain). Half back. Brewer... Full back. Fairchiid’s work of late has been far from satisfactory. His passing became so errat- ie that the coaches refused to put up with it any longer. Beale was, therefore, called in. His work, thus far, has been ‘spoken of very highly. Blanchard at right end has supplanted Stevenson, the freshman who is believed to be over-trained. For the un- filled position of half back,there are Wright- ington, Clark, Dunlop and Gonterman, the speedy sophomore. George Gray, too,’ has recovered from his injuries, and is getting back much of his old time form. Just which man will be selected for this posi- tion cannot be told at this writing. seem ms Rance of the Thermometer, The following were the readings of the ther- mometer at the weather bureau today: 8 a. m., 46; 2p.m., 63; maximum, 66; minimum, 44, aayE ae Second € jal Meeting. The two hundredth meeting of the Wash- irgton Obstetrical and Gynecological So- ciety was held in the lecture hall of the Georgetown Law School on E street last night. Dr. Henry D.

The Alumni Association of the Columbian University is a very large and active body, numbering over 600 members. With it the great event of the year has always been the annual dinner, given in the spring, and at- tended by a hundred and fifty or more. This year it has been decided to have a social meeting, of a less formal kind, in addition to the dinner. The annual business mecting will be held next Wednesday, No- vember 22, at the university at 8 p.m. This meeting will not last more than a half hour and it is to be followed by a social reunion of the alumni and the ladies whom they have been requested to invite to accompany them. Refreshments will be served under the direction of the young lady students in the college, who’ have kindly consented to aid the committee in caring for the guests.

The Recent Action of the Powers an Insur- gent Setback. Prevents the Closing of the Port at Rio— Commerce Not to Be Dis- turbed—Mello’s Position. A cipher dispatch was received at the Nevy Department yesterday from Capt. Picking, commanding the United States fleet at Rio de Janeiro, which tends to throw a glamor of doubt and disbelief in the bombastic report from Madrid that Ad- miral Mello has proclaimed Count d’Eu Emperor of Brazil. Capt. Picking’s dis- patch is as follows: “Naval representatives of eight nations, including our nation, have decided not to permit munitions of war to be landed at Rio. Santos being still in possession of the Brazilian government and connected with Rio Janeiro by railway, munitions of war for Rio Janeiro can be landed at San- tos. Yesterday insurgents dressed ship. The Brazilian government forts fired a na- tional salute in honor of the anniversary of the establishment of the republic.” This information is regarded at the Navy Department as an indication that the in- surgents are losing strength and that their cause is on the wane. The statement that the insurgents dressed ship in honor of the anniversary of the republic is totally inconsistent with the report that they have declared for “Emperor d’Eu” unless the crafty admiral is playing a double game. The interpretation put on Capt. Pick- ing’s telegram in official circles is that the naval representatives at Rio have de- cided that there shall be no interference with commerce and have formally notified the insurgent admiral that they will pre- vent it. It is said that this action weak- ens Mello very much, for if he cannot close the ports of Rio and bring that city into subjection it cannot be conjectured how he can make his rebellion successful. Cripples Mello. Naval officers say that it looks very much as if Mello had been badly crippled. The latest news is in line with that indicated in previous dispatches from Capt. Picking to the effect that foreign representatives, after conference, had notified Mello he must respect the nationality of any lighter en- gaged in unloading vessels and flying the flag at its bow indicating its nationality. It appears that a studied effort has been made to give Mello nv excuse to fire upon the city. An agreement was made some time ago that there should be no firing be- tween the forces at Rio and the insurgents in the bay. This was violated on one occasion, al- though little, if any, damage resulted. Yesterday's dispatches indicated that the naval officers on duty there in the pro- tection of foreign interesis are determined this agreement shall be enforced, for this last notice is the result of concerted ac- tion on the part of the allied powers to prevent any tiring upon the city and dam- age to commerce by either side. The re- strictions thus imposed as to the land- ing of munitions of war treats both sides alike, but the advantage is with the ex- isting government by reason of its con- nection with Santos. Admiral Mello could, of course, get supplies by water provided the vessels carrying them could success- fully pass the government forts down the bay below the insurgent fleet. —_—_—-o+—_____ WEARING APPAREL. It is Subject a Late Custom House Report. “The abuses connected with the free en- try of wearing apparel and the demoral- izing practices incident to the examination of passengers’ baggage arriving by ocean steamers” form the subject of a report to the Secretary of the Treasury by Special Agent A. K. Tingle. “Although the tariff act of 189," he says, “contains a modiri- cation of the previous law, intended to limit the free introduction of wearing apparel to such articles as were in actual use and were necessary and appropriate for tne comfort’ and convenienge of the passenger on his journey, this provision has been so construed by competent authority as to recognize the right of home-returning tour- ists to the free entry of all the foreign clothing they may choose to bring with them. There is practically no limit, so long as the articles thus brought in are the per- sonal wardrobe of the passenger, are suit- able and appropriate for present or future use, and are not intended for sale. Thus some of our citizens escape taxation upon high-class wearing apparel, properly des- ignated as tuxuries, while those who re- main at home must pay the tariff tax up- on their necessary clothing. Prior to the decision of the Supreme Court in the case of Astor against Meritt the customs offi- cers endeavored to confine the free entry to clothing which had been worn, and-large amounts of duties were collected on new clothing. But since that decision, where- in it is held that clothing is in actual use when it is intended for the season imme- diately approaching, and especially since the board of general appraisers have de- cided that this decision still prescribes the governing rule as to what should be ex- empted from duty as wearing apparel in actual use, little can be done by customs officers to limit the volume of such free importations. As no record is made of the value of clothing admitted free there is no way of estimating the loss of —— from this cause, but it must be large, an it increases year by year. The merchant tailor who pays high duties upon the clothe and trimmings used by him has good rea- son to complain of the operation of a law which admits the same goods free, when made up into garments by a London iailor and imported in the baggage of the wealthy American. So, too, our dressmakers may well object to the constant free introduo- tion of foreign silks and dress goods, dutl- able at high rates when imported in the piece, but free when made into costumes by the Paris modiste for ladies of wealth, who thus save enough in duties on their season’s wardrobes to pay the expenses of their summer outing. Certainly a prov:- sion in the tariff which, as practically ad- ministered, results in discrimination in tax- ation needs revision. No injustice would be done to Americans returning from abroad If they were required by law to fur- nish schedules of their purchases in foreign countries, and to pay the same duties there- on that are exacted when similar articles are imported as merchandise. Such a iaw would put an end to excessive free impor- tations of wearing apparel and remove a Just cause of complaint.” FINANCIAL.

The Assembly Church Celebrates Two Interesting Church Events. Nearly three hundred persons crowded the social room of the Assembly Presby- terian Church last night at the fortieth an- hiversary of its organization and the twen- tieth anniversary of the pastorate of Rev. George O. Little, pressing forward to con- gratulate their minister and cxtending to him their best wishes for the future, The church was handsomely decorated and the platform was banked with palms and chrysanthemums, giving a most brilliant ef- fect. Besides the members of the church there were many old friends and former members of the congregation present. A program of speeches, recitations and music was carried out to the delight all, opening with a chorus from the club in the nature of a welcome song. A. L. Sturtevant then gave an welcome to the pastor and his half of the church, congratulat the work they bad accoi twenty years of service. A Warren Young, the precentor, then Judge Ivory G. Kimball gave tory of the financial growth of the which was most gratifying, showing in the past twenty years about $100,000 congregation. Next a piano solo by Rev.

Special mention was made of the library, under charge of Mr. James C.
