COLLEGE BALL.
The Princetons Defeat the Harvards in a
Grand Game.


Boston, November 16th.-Princeton de-
feated Harvard in the great championship
ball game at Cambridge this afternoon by a
score of 81 TO 10. The game was played on
Jarvis field, and the assemblage was the
greatest in the history of college athletics.
Ii was perfect day; the skies were bright
and sunny, the ground hard and firm and
very little wind.
The Princeton delegation ma.sed in the
northeast corner of the field. The Harvard
men were adorned with carnations and
chrysanthemums, while punches of orange
adorned the bosoms of the fair supporters
of the orange and black.
Fully 10000 people were sitting or stand
ing in the field when the two elevens APP
peared for practice.
The enthusiasm throughout the game
was treme ndous and the college yells deaf
ening. 1t took fifty-fiye minutes to play
the first half of the game. The score then
stood Is TO 10 in favor of Harvard. In the
second half Harvard was the favorite in the
beginning, but the Princetons made mag
nifcent squirt and at 4:20 had lead of five
points, and after playing for two hours and
four minutes won the game amid the wild
est excitement.

more feet.
Tunnels are being driven to secure a
larger supply, although the superficial
quantity seems practically inexLaustible.
The bitumen was experimental with here

PANAMA CANAL.
Investigation to be Made by Commit
tee of Engineers.

PARIS, November 16th.-The commit ee
of five engineers appointed to report on the
Panama Canal will sail for the isthmus on
the 10th of December by the Amerique.
They are German. Chatert, Lagent, Ouch
atenet and Cousin, all Frenchmen, with
the exception of the last named, who is a
Belgian, and was selected for the mission
by Brunei, liquidator of the company,
These gentlemen have been charged to
conceal no unfavorable facts, and not to
underrate anything that is of hopeful
nature If they find the canal to be an
impracticab!e undertaking they will decree
a loss of fifty or sixty millions sterling of
French money. If, on the other hand
they say the work ought to be persevered
in, they will have perhaps added further to
the responsibility Ct their position.

MORMON TESTIMONY.
Descendant of Joseph Smith Upon the
Witness Stand.

Witness Stand.
SALT LAKE (Utah), November 16th.-The
Mormons began the introduction of testi-
mony before the Court to-day to show that
no disloyal teaching is given in the Endow-
ment House. Apostle Smith. one of the
leaders of the church. and descendant of
the original Joseph Smith, took the stand
and testified positively that no oaths were
taken and no penalties imposed upon the
apostates beyond accommodation.
Several homogeneous Mormon business
men were sworn and testified that no oath
was taken against the Government, and
polygamy was not obligatory.
The examination is the one absorbing
topic, not so much on account of its dis
closures, which are nothing new, as 10 the
effect the decision of the Court will have
on the approaching election.
In the Mormon oath cases to-day Will
ford Woodruff's prayer at the dedication
of st. Georges Temple. denouncing the
United States Government and prophecy 'ng

God the only legal Government on earth

HIGH LICENSE.
A Catholic Crusade Against the Liquor
Traffic.

Catholic Crusade Against ING LT4UUT
Traffic.
BALTIMORE, November 16th.-Tbe Catho-
lie Church will begin crusade against the
liquor evil in this city next Sunday by a
mass-meeting in favor of high license.
There are about $500 saloons in Baltimore.
II is claimed that fee of 81 600 would re-
duce their number to about 800, which
would yield 100000 to the public treasury.
The sentiment in favor of high license is
much more widespread than that favoring
prohibition. Grave doubts are held as to
the possibility of inducing the General As
sembly at the session which begins in
January to pass high-lcense bill. 1t is
claimed, however, by the friends of the
proposed reform that the Catholic Church
can exercise considerable influence in less
ening the work of politicians who favor
high license

BERLIN, November 10th The foot and
mouth disease in the neighborhood of Ber-
lin and in the provinces OF Brandenberg
and Siberia unfortunately shows no signs
of yielding to the exceedingly stringent
measures which have been taken against
it by the German authorities. On the
other hand, the new enterprise of import
ing swine from France and the United
States, as well as oxen from the latter coun-
try, has proved very advantageous to both
sellers aud buyers. These imports have
already begun to have the effect of reduc-
