tender his resignation as C airman. Wheth-

thorltatlvely stated. Should it be, Republi-

probability will be elected chairman, and
either Henry G. Paine of Wisconsin or Sen

Inspector Byrnes. On Monday the inspector
sent Detective-Sergeant Adams to Boston
with Tate to look for McChristy. He said
yesterday that Grant wanted to go to Boston

cording to Programme.

NEW YORK, November 27.-The wedding
of Roger George Washington Welsh and Mrs.
Annie Smith of Camden, N. j., was to have
taken place on Tuesday evening. The we'd
ding party was assembled at the house of
John Orr, by whom Mrs. Smith had been
employed as hOusekeeper. Mr. Orr, who is
an elderly man. had been sitting with the
company, but the prospective loss of his
hOusekeeper seems to have suddenly aroused
his wrath, and he left the room. He return
ed with big navy revolver, and told the as
sembled guests that they had better get out
as soon as possible. as he had determined
the wedding should not take ploce, as the
prospective bridegroom had proved himself a
mean rascal by presenting Mrs. Smith with
rolled gold ring, valued at 25 cents, fof a
wedding ring.
The guests hurried out of the house, panic
stricken at the display of the revolver. Orr
followed and hid behind tree until the ap-
pearance of the Rev. c. D, Sinkinson of the
Methodist Episcopal church, who was to per.
form the marriage ceremony. Holding the
revolver under the minister's nose, Orr told
him that the wedding could not take place al
his house. He said in explanation of this
that the effort to raise $5 as fee for the min
lister had been unsuccessful.
Orr kept "the drop" on the minister until
friend OF the latter arrived, when he lower
ed the weapon and went home. His house
was crowded with more guests, but his
housekeeper and Mr.. Welsh were not to be
found They have not since been seen and

tne circumstances, with the presence of theil
itlehds, and that they then departed on the

BROOKLYN, N. Y, November 27.-Yale
downed Princeton in the football game at
Eastern Park today, the score standing 80 to
nothing in her favor. The game was wit
messed by at least 10000 spectators. Among
them the partisans of Princeton were more
numerous, bnt what Yale's friends lacked in
numbers they made up in enthusiasm. The
hour fixed for calling the game was O'Clock
As early as 8 this morning The crowd be- au
to gather. The gates of the park opened at
II O'Clock, and then hundreds outside were
impatiently awaiting admittance. An hour
later every seat on the bleachers was occu-
pied, and a thickly packed mass of men
pressed against the board fence that sur
rounded the field. Long before o'clock
every seat and all the boxes in the grand
stand were filled, while the enclosure reserv-
ed for wheeled vehicles was closely packed.
About r. % the crowds seated ON the eastern
side made frantic endeavors to get la place of

vast thrODg of men standing in front tried to
get seats in the crush. They crowded upon
he seats, which were ordinary, portable
base ball seats, of east iron with planks
across. The minute the rush began. an omi-
nous crack was plainly heard. and then the
accident described elsewhere. followed.
This accident cast gloom over thesentlre
crowd for fully half an hour, but when the
% athletes appeared on the field every body
got up and yelled for Is minutrs.
1t was just 2 O'Clock when Princeton won
the toss and secured the ball, Yale having
the choice of the field. McCluug, of Yale,
secured the first point, Il touchdown, ana
kicked goal soon after. The PTiOceton
rush line seemed mere striplings as compared
with Yale's heavy line. Princeton used bad
judgment, and might just as well have
bucked against a stone wall as against the
Yala giants. This was when the superiority
Of Yale first began to make itself manifest.
Yale played with d0gged resistance that was
marvellous. Every known trick, and
some not known, were used by them. They
excelied in blocking, interfering, passing,
running and tackling, while the latter was
Princeten's great weakness. The Princeton
men seemed afraid of the Yale giants When

FROM PINE RIDGE.

Watch the Ghost Dance.

PINE RIDGE AGENCY, November 81
There Is plenty food for excitement as the
Indians are arriving in large numbers to get
their rations. When they began coming In
Saturday they completely surrounded the
agency and soldiers camp.
Agent Roger sent hundred police out aud
by Sunday evening had all the friendly In
dians in camp On the east of the agency and
the spirit dancers on the north.
About one third of all on the reservation
are here; enOu h, however, to make the
camp of 400 soldiers look insignificant, By
tonight or early in the morning 600 more
troops are expected. This force VIII be am
ple In case trouble occurs during the dlstri-
button of beef.
The fact that over 800 of the dancers from
the Rosebud agency have left that place
without provisions and are camped neaI
here has caused some excitement and COM
ment.
The writer went all through the camps to-
day and heard little but expressions Of
triendliness towards the whites and inQui-
ries why the Buffalo soldiers" (colored
troops are here. There is no love lost be-
tween the Indians and the negro soldiers.
Major Burke and his wild West Indians
are here and show as much interest and Gu
ri0sity as the average newspaper correspOn
dent. The dancing is still in prOgres on the
Rosebud agency, but no trouble is antici-
pated there. The Indians from this point
now reported in Wyoming are the band of
Young -Man-Afraid- Of His-H Horse, who are
absent with permission to visit his friends
among the Crows in Montana.
Tnere are about 6000 Indians swarming in

and show no excitement More Indian
scouts are being sw rn in and armed for ser
