2 LATE NEWS BY WIRE. Annual Foot Ball Match Between Yale and Harvard. BEPTING EVEN, BUT YALE WANTS ODDS. The Weather Cold and the Grounds in Good Condition. SPRINGFIELD STREET SCENES. SPRINGFIELD, Mass., Nov. 25.—The members of the Yale and Harvard foot ball elevens spent the morning very quietly, as was expected, and devoted their time to Preparing for the game. The Yale men were hustled out of bed at 7 o'clock, and fifty members of the party, including tne team and substitutes, sat down to breakfast half an hour later. The meal was a plain one, consisting of chops, beafsteak and toast with the absence of coffee or other narcotics. After breakfast the men were taken into the gymnasium of | the training school, where they were put through the code of signal, but were not compelled to do any punting or other kind of practice. Ideal foot ball weather—cold and clear— Prevails for the big contest this afternoon. The air is sharp with clear skies, but a bright sun tempering the crisp air will ren- der the cold bearable to the spectators of the big game. At the Grounds. The grounds are in excellent condition. In faet, old foot ball men, who have looked them over, sty that a better field for the; contest could not be wished for. Last year there were one or two bad spots, but the whole place has been carefully groomed this year, and no treacherous places He in wait to down the unsuspecting players. One particular happy feature of the ar- rangement of the field is the painting of numbers on the surrounding fence, so that the spectators can tell at a glance just how many yards the ball is from the center of the field. On either side of the field the five-yard lines are plainly designated. This system of marking the lines will be of great assistance to the newspaper men and spectaters, as it will be an easy mat- ter ta keep tabs on the gains and losses. The betting iast night was very brisk. Considerable money is in the hands of the clerks at the big hostelries. Hal Clarkson of Harvard, son of the ex-assistant postmaster general, put up #0 even on the crimson eleven late last night at the Massasoit. One Harvard man put up $100 against $s0 on his team. When this last wager was Notsed around all the Yale crowd were loth to put up their money without getting odds. What the Yale men wanted was 5 to 4, but the Harvard sympathizers invari- ably held out for even money. Scenes About Town.

Dupuy is confident of a good majority. ——._—_— VICTIMS OF DETROIT’S BIG FIRE. Three More Bodies Found in the Ruins This Morning. DETROIT, Mich., Nov. 25.—Another body was recovered at 7:30 o’clock this morning from the ruins of the Edson Moore fire. It was burned almost to a crisp, but some portions of the clothing were intact and the body was identified as that of Edward N. Viot. At 9:15 o'clock a third body was recovered from the ruins. It is so badly charred it is doubtful if it will ever be identified. ‘There was no clothing left on the body, but one shoe was in fair state of preservation. At 10:15 the searchers uncovered a heap of bones, and it is supposed to be the re- mains of a fourth victim. The funeral of McKay, who lost his life at the fire by jumping from a window, took place this morning. Mrs. Henry Rider, widow of one of the victims, was delivered of a baby girl last night. ——_—_.

Seme new points upon the riches and re- scurces of a South American republic whose government is modeled somewhat after the United States were given to an ap- Preciative audience at the meeting of the Geographical Society last night by Mr. J. R. G. Pitkin, for several years envoy extra- ordinary and minister plenipotentiary to the Argentine Republic. The lecture was illustrated by a number of stereopticon views, displaying photographs of buildings and scenes in Buenos Ayres, the capital. This is a city of 600,000 inhabitants, with 242 miles of paved streets, magnificent gov- ernment buildings, private residences cost- ing $300,000 and over, 122 school buildings, three national colleges, twenty-six theaters, forty clubs, twenty markets, thirty miles of water and sewerage, twenty-six miles of harbor front and wharfs. It possesses a magnificent driving park, where more handsome equipages and richer Parisian costumes can be seen in a day than are visible in Central Park in a week. The) capitals of Europe furnish the fashions, the luxuries of life and everything which money can buy to these wealthy people of taste. Engla: ‘= Conquest. The money for the purpose is furnished by products of the country, which bring $15,000,000 annually. In this connection Mr. Pitkin entered into an interesting dis- cussion of the commercial interests of the country and the share that the United States possesses. Great Britain has conquered the country with her masts for a scepter and through the invoice and bill-of-lading levies peaceful | tribute. In IS88 the United States sold | goods to the Argentine Republic to the | amount of $9.563.049, while Great Britain sold her $42,508,282: France sold her $22,- 163,101; Germany, $12,842,240, Her History. Mr. Pitkin devoted a considerable por-| tion of his lecture to a review of the his- tory of the republic from the landing of the Spaniards in the seventeenth century | through each successive stage of revolution and insurrection to the final declaration of independence and the formation of a stable government in every way adequate | to the needs ana temper of the population. | He eulogized Argentine’s public men and! heroes and paid a high compliment to Dr. | Zeballos, the Argentine minister to the United States. in touching upon the characteristics of the people and describing social life in the great city, Mr. Pitkin’s discourse spar- kled with flashes of wit, pleasing similes and side of thing: The audience, which was one of the and one of the most intelligent and nota: bie, gave frequent demonstration of its appreciation of the lecturer's efforts.

John P. Hopkins came back from THANKSGIVING DAY DRILL. The Second Regiment Will Turn Out for Biot Maneuvers. The Movements to Be Executed—The Order for Drill and Gener: Order to Be Followed. There will be a very interesting drill by the second regiment of the District militia on Thanksgiving day. This is the famous “riot drill” that the National Guard of other cities has been perfecting of late, with a view to emergencies in the future. Some time ago Gen. Ordway issued orders to the second regiment to prepare for such a drill, and recently Maj. Urell, who is in command in the absence of Col. Clay, promulgated an order for the members of the regiment as follows: “In pursuance of instructions from the brigadier general, commanding the District of Columbia Militia, the second regiment, D. C. N. G., will assemble in the drill hall of the Center Market Armory at 9 o'clock a.m. on Thursday, November 30, 1893, Thanksgiving day, in field uniform with overcoats, for instruction in street riot drill. As this drill will be as prescribed in G. O. No. 1, series of 1892, all officers will be ex- pected to familiarize themselves at once with all of the provisions of that order.” Maj. Urell said this morning: “I cannot tell, of course, how many men we will have out, for Thanksgiving is a bad day for such a proceeding. Most of the men have en- gagements already made for the day, and so indeed have 1, but I'll be there and we'll do the best we can.” “Gen. Ordway has asked that we select some quiet streets for the drill and avoid drawing a large crowd, if possible. I do not yet know where the maneuvers will take place." General orders No. 11, referred to in Maj. Urell’s order to the regiment, gives the movements of the riot drill. In the armory not less than sixteen sharpshooters are placed under the command of the battal- fon inspector of small arms firing, who posts them in equal numbers in the line of file closers. They are designated by some distinguishing mark, such as a handker- chief tied on the left arm. A special order of march is outlined for the street where the ordinary drill maneuvers are impracti- cable. The street column is formed by the sharpshooters taking places three paces from the flanks of the column. Another move is to form a street square, which is done by groups of four companies, the sharpshooters on the flanks on sidewalks and up to building lines. Other maneuvers are outlined. The drill will probably last about three hours, —_— MR. CLAPAREDE’S TRANSFER. Much Regret Felt at the Loss of the Swiss Minister. The announcement in yesterday's Star that Mr. Claparede, the Swiss minister at Washington, is to be transferred to Vienna was received with genuine regret in diplo- matic and social circles. Mr. Claparede has served his country in the United States for five years, having presented his letters to President Cleveland on the 15th of November, 1888. He came here from Berlin, where he had been sec- retary of the Swiss legation, and his pro- motion to such an important post as that at Vienna after comparatively so short a term of service demonstrates the satis- faction and skill with which he has per- formea his duties. Mr. Claparede is presi- dent of the commission at present holding its sessions in Washington to settle the claims of the citizens of the United States and of Chile against the government of each country, and the probability is that he will remain until his duties in that posi- tion are ended, which will be in a few months. It is said at the legation that the successor to Mr. Claparede as minister to the United States has not yet been selected. SHE RECEI “D THE SET. Bat Still Has an Idea Her Dollar Was Wasted. There are breakers ahead for a schemer who has been putting the postal service to improper uses. The victim is a Washing- tonian of the opposite sex. She has com- plained to the mail depredations division, and it is but a question of a short period when the alleged offender will be called on to tell why all this is thus. The female Washingtonian answered an advertisement. This ad. set forth in tempting terms that a full and complete tea set would be sent postpaid to any part of the United States and Canada on receipt of $1. The victim sent the doilur and received the tea set. It was a tea set, but then it would rash to appraise its value at a higher figure than 3 cents. It is a very tiny doll set, consisting of two microscopic cups and saucers, a sugar bowl, which would not have been tolerated in the land of Lilliput, and a diminutive tea pot. It was not even a decent looking set of its class. It was of rudely baked brown clay, circled with scarlet stripes like pep- permint candy or a barber pole, and the edges were crudely rough. The advertiser sent what he advertised he would send, but the intent to defraud is so palpable that he will probably be pulled on the | charge of using the mails with intent to defreud. The purchaser sent the tea set to the Post Office Department and it was placed on exhibition, to the amusement and amazement of the natives. There was a proposition to show it to Mr. Bissell, but that gentieman was reading proof on his report With such earnestness that it was thought best not to disturb him. +3o-— REMAINED IN SECLUSION.

Nothing has beer heard at the Navy De- partment yet about the unsuccessful at- tempt to run the new cruiser Olympia on her official trial yesterday in San Fran- cisco. The statement wired east this morn- ing, however, that she was making 22.2 knots, when a pump bolt broke, filled the naval engineers with great joy, for the en- gines of the Olympia are counterparts of those of the Columbia, with the exception, of course, that the latter is provided with three and the former with two screws. The contract calls for twenty knots, while that for the Columbia required twenty-one. Should the Olympia on her final run make the twenty-two knots throughout she would earn a premium of $400,000, ever made on one al contract. The naval engineers fear that the Olympia can- not maintain thé strain of such a tremen- dous pace, however, and they think the Scotts will be very glad indeed to secure an average of 213-4, which would earn a Premium of $350,000, equal to that of w Columbia. At twenty-two knots the Olym- pia would be considered a marvel. cee! SOUTH CAROLINA AGAIN. Further Postal Frauds Said to Hi Been Discovered.

The new regulations follow the same lines as the old treasury regulations as to Chi- nese registration, except that one cred- ible witness, instead of two, must certify to a Chinaman’'s good character when he pre- sents his application to register, and this witness may be a Chinaman or other per- son, instead of a white person only, as in the old regulations, ee Not Likely to Go.

A fine entertainment has been prepared for the occasion. including the danse du ventre and the torture dance by the original performers of the Midway Plaisance. One reason why the President is not likely to leave the city on the date named is that he desires to spend Thanks- giving day with his family. He is still en- grossed in the preparation of his annual message and continues to deny himself to all visitors. Gov.

At all times the grand stand was practically deserted, the club being seemingly indifferent to the comfort of those who would have sought it had it been inclosed in a similar manner to the betting ring. The card called for six races on the flat, and as Starter McCann changed his tactics of the first day and wasted no time upon the jockeys and their mounts, the six races were called and run in much less time than it required to finish the five of the preceding day. The talent were hardly in it, Charade, in the third race, being the only real favorite to get home first, although Capt. -Wagener, the winner of the first event, was only a point lower than the favorite, Robin Hood. The win- ners were: Capt. Wagener, 4 to 1; Annie C. filly, 8 to 1; Charade, 7 to 10; Kloroy, 12 to 1; Grand Prix, 7 to 1, and Our Jack, 1. 6 to The following is summary of the day's racing: First race, five furl Captain Wag- ener, 4 and 7 to 5, first; Robin Hood, 3 and 7 to 5, second; Miracle, 15 to &, third. ‘Time, 1.04.

Mysterious Absence of the Chief From the K. of L. Assembly. PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 25.—The deadlock in the General Assembly of the Knights of Labor is still unbroken and the three mem- bers of the genera! executive board remain unchosen. Mr. Maguire of New York was elected to the board yesterday, but the selection of the remaining three from the list of nominees named by the general mas- ter workman will evidently not be accom- plished. It is believed that the only way to settle the matter is for Mr. Powderly to nom- inate candidates who are favorable to the Hayes element, and whether or not the general master workman will do so is not known. Mr. Powderly did not preside over the convention today, but gave way to General Worthy Foreman Bishop. No explanation of this could be learned, and the mystery was intensified when the general master workman hurriedly left the hall about a half hour before the noon re- cess. Rumors that Mr. Powderly had re. signed were current, but the delegates de- nied that such was the case. Press Committeeman Worsely significant- ly stated this afternoon that Mfr. Bishop “might’” become the general master work- man. Nothing definite on the matter, how- ever, could be learned. The efforts to elect the executive board will be renewed this afternoon and if a compromise shall be effected the convention will probably finally adjourn this evening. The committee on law reported favorably this morning on the resolution abolishing all isolated locals and recommending that they attach themselves to the nearest dis- trict, state, or national assembly. This was approved by the convention, as was also the report of the same committee which was against the election of all offi- cers by a popular vote, The press committee announced that the decisions during the past year and further explained that this action was in the na- ture of a formality. ———— SERVIAN MINISTERS RESIGN.

As there was no money to do the work the Commissioners in reply stated that the chain gang could be used, but Mr. Heurich writes to the Commissioners today that his company is opposed to con- vict labor, and, therefore. cannot accept the proposition to use the chain gang. Un&t for Habitation. Health Officer Hammett has informed the Commissioners that houses numbered 246), 2462 and 2464 Phillipa court between 24th and 25th, M and N streets northwest are totally unfit for habitation. The floors have rotted away and the sleepers have separated from the wide walls, the stairways are rickety and the buildings are in such a dilapidated condition as to render them dangerous to life and limb. He recommends that the inspector of buildings take prompt action in the matter. St Cars. President H. A. Griswold of the Anacostia and Potomac Railroad Company has in- to follow the suggestion of The Star, and after the lth of December ali cars of his road will only stop at the opposite street corner. Lead Water Pipes. Mr. Robert W. McPherson writes to the Commissioners today urging the amendment of the plumbing regulations. He urges especially the amendment of that section requiring the use of lead pipes, and incloses a letter from Surgeon John 8. Billings of the army in which the latter holds that the use of lead pipe to convey water from the main into a private dwelling is not desira- ble from a sontiory point, of vim, —s ith certain conditions 01 e water I would probably produce lead poisoning. — ANOTHER EPISCOPAL CHURCH. Trinity Church, Takoma Park, to Be Opened Tomorrow. The opening of Trinity Church, Takoma Park, for divine worship is an event of more than ordinary interest to the members of the Episcopal Church in Washington, making, as it does, another step in the ad- vance movement of the church in the Dis- trict of Columbia. Takoma Park is one of the most attractive and important suburbs of the city, and by having special advan- tages of rapid transit by steam and electric railways is assured of continued and per- manent growth. The Episcopal Church was wise enough to see this, and about a year ago there was deeded to trustees for Trin- ity Church, Takoma Park, a half block of land, facing on 7th street, Vermilion and Wabash avenues. This is conceded to be one of the most elevated and advantageous church sites in the District, and was se- cured by the energetic work of the congre- gation, aided by the generous churchmen of the city and by gift of Mrs. John Gray and Mrs. C. B. and L. 8. Thornton. The cony tion up to the present time has been\worshiping in a rented building, and has Yhereby been much hampered in its work. The building which will be opened tomorrow, while entirely unpretentious, is commodious and of pleasing proportions, being 73 feet long by 47 and 27 feet wide. The plans were drawn by the rector, and the work has been supervised by Mr. Geo. Parkins. There will be a special opening service tomorrow at 3 P-m., at which addresses will be made by clergymen of the city and the bishop. At night at 7 o'clock there will be @ confirmation service by the bishop of the diocese, with music by the choir of the church. The list of music is as follows: At the afternoon service, at 3:30 o'clock, the choral evensong will be rendered by twenty-four members of St. Paul's vested choir, under the direction of Prof. D. B. Macleod, as follows: Processional hymn, 138; Psalter for the day. chanted; Magnifi- and Nunc Dimittis, Barnby: hymns, 424 and 202; solo, by Mr. Griffith of Washing- j ton; anthem, “O, Lord. How Manifold Are T Works,” Barnby; recessional hymn, 7 p.m. service—Processional hymn, 529, Goss; Gloria Patri, Chappell; Cantate, Whit- fi Lavington; hymn, 236; an- them, “Praise the Lord,” Fowle: offertory, “Old Hundred;” recessional hymn, 232, Sul- livan. There wili be a celebration of the holy communion at 8:30 a.m. At 11 a.m. the bishop will administer con- firmation at Grace Church.

The church is within a square of the terminus. ie — TO GIVE THE POOR WORK. A Proposition That the Commiss! WI Present to Congress. The Commissioners this afternoon acting upon the recommendation of Capt. Poweli, decided to recommend to Congress as soon as that body meets that they be given au- thority and that the appropriation be made immediately available to commence work on the streets and avepues outside of the city limits which need-grading end reg:i- iin making this recommendation to Con- grese the Commissioners have in mind the employment of the poor laborers who would otherwise be thrown out of work owing to the cold weather. The proposition is to give the Commissioners authority to use their own discretion in the expenditure of the money. If this ts done they will be able to employ a larger number of men at salary of $1 per day for six hour’s work. | If Congress acts favorably upon the recom- mendation the Commissioners will proceed at once to the grading of Massachusetts avenue, Pennsylvania avenue, Sherman avenue and 16th street. By the time these are completed spring will be here and the regular work will commence. —_— Balth re Markets.

Fresh Capital in Wall Street Makes Speculation Strong. CONDITIONS FAVOR HIGHER PRICES. The New Tariff Bill the Topic of Gossip. GENERAL MARKET REPORTS. Special Dispatch to The Evening Star. NEW YORK, Nov. 25.—The appearance of @ liberal supply of buying orders from in- vestors who have at last awakened to the inducements outside of the bond market, gave to today’s trading a decidedly strong tone. London was trading in our securities at a slight advance, but had no important orders on this side. Commission houses show some encourag- ing signs of returning activity and condi- tions generally are favorable to higher Prices unless the tariff bill gives the bears an argument that will rebut the presence of cheap money and increasing Mberality on the part of the banks. The grangers were in demand and were all active in proportion to their dividend rate. Northwest scored the greatest ad- vance in popularity and was closely fol- lowed by St. Paul and Burlington for gains varying from 1-2 to 1 per cent. Shorts in General Electric were actively engaged in covering outstanding contracts, which resulted in an advance of 25-8 per cent to 303-8. The large block of long stock that has of late been held threaten- ly over this property is seid to have been marketed and has consequently nullified one of the strongest points in favor of low- a er_prices. Chicago Gas has succeeded in ye proposed rival out of its territory by having the new company’s proposition submitte to a subcommittee of councils said to be un- friendly to the interests of the new concern. ‘The stock of the former company gained 1 per cent to 65 3-8. Sugar is being manipulated according to the latest tariff rumors and shows plain! its extreme sensitiveness on the subject of competition and reduced earnings. Indications point to some adverse change in existing rates of duty and, acting in Sympathy with this belief, traders had little difficulty in depressing the price 8 per cent to 913-4. The most important feature of the day was the publication of the bank statement. which shows the banks to have gained $5,364,000 in lawful money. The increase in loans, however, is the most encouragin ¢ item, as it shows that money is beginning to find employment. The total deposits ai~ now $70,000,008) in excess of the ioans, ant the surplus reserve is a trifle in excess of that amount. The statement in detail is as follows: Reserve inc: 700; loans in- creased, $5,468,000; specie increased, $i,- 069,300; legals increased, $6,% 2,300; deposits increased, $10,627,400, and circulation de- creased, $244,700. The week closes with a feeling of greater confidence in the restoration of values than any that hi yet prevailed, and the bull« ble encouragement in tho promptness with which the market yields to their efforts. Tariff legislation will interfere with any sustained movement until the exact nature of the proposed measure is known, but the street is inclined to treat it as an obstacie that will be in a great measure overcome once the element of uncertainty is re- moved. —_-—_ FINANCIAL AND COMMERCIAL. owing opening, the orn Ne the chosine prices of the New Wort woes munriet togey.” ee Corwon,E Macartney. { ee de 3 o'clock =m.— Washington Ist Gs, $50 at 100.
