BLUE WON.
Nineteen to Nothing Was
the Final Score.
Forty Thousand Excited
People Saw the Battle.
Orange and Black Beaten
Worse than Crimson.

NEW YORK, November 26.-The Yale.
Princeton foot ball game here today was
witnessed by nearly 10000 persons. Yale
won by score of 10 to nothing, and Is thus
the victor for the eighth time since 1873 in
the annual Thanksgiving game. The field
was soft, muddy and very slippery, and the
day was cloudy and threatening rain. Long
before the gates of Manhattan field were
thrown open, the crowd began to gather on
"Dead Head HILL" overlooking the field.
The elevated trains began to unload hun
dreds of persons, and then carriages and
tally-hos began to ,crowd about the en-
trance. At 10 o'clock. Eighth avenue was
blocked for half mile with carriages,
while many others took up positions on the
side streets.
At that hour the gates were thrown open
and the rush began. Inspector Conlin
with 400 police officers was on hand, but all
the police could do was to see that no one
got into the space reserved for the games.
Many ladies were In the thrUng and they
were mixed up with lot of wild men,
almost every one of whom waved either a
blue or an orange aud black flag and
shouted for all he was worth. The tally
hos and coaches as they entered the
grounds seemed simply huge bodies on
wheels
When the 20 Yale men stepped out on
the field, there was a wild outburst of
cheers from their supporters. These were
the eleven and their nine substitutes. The
greeting that met the Princeton eleven was
almost as vociferOus. Captain McClung
led the Yale team while Captain Warren
headed the Princeton eleven. 1t was Just
2 O'Clock when the substitutes went back
of the line. Suddenly a shrill whistle
sounded, heard even through the hurricane
of cheers which had been sweeping over
the field and the game was begun. The
teams appeared very evenly matched as
shown by comparison of the points made
by each team in the seasons play. Yale
had an advantage of over 80 points over
Princeton. having in twelve games scored
AT points to her opponents 0, while
Princeton, in the same number of games
had only scored 391 to her opponents 0.
As TO weight, Princeton had slight ad.
vantage inlthe weight of her backs. The
rush lines averaged about the same,
Prnceton's average being 176l pounds
while Yale'S was 17647. Princeton's
making, the general average for the
whole team, Princeton 1891; Yale
167 Ill. To offset this additional weight,
there was the well known skill In team
work shown by the Yale men and their
tremendous work in centre.
The game opened by Princeton getting
the ball. In the second inning the first
touch down was made by Mccormick of
Yale, score to in favor Of Yale. Later
Mccormick kicked goal from the field.
bringing the Yale score to ID. The game
ended by McCluDg kicking goal. The
teams lined up thus:

WAITING FOR TAE AsToRs.
New York's Big Transit Scheme
Hanging In the Balance.

NEW YORK, November 26.-The fate Of
New York's magnificent scheme Of rapid
transit is resting upon the decision Of the
agents of the property of single family.
The Astors have in recent years entrusted
the care of their real estate in this city to
their agents, who have the tight of decision
in all matters affecting the value and safety
of the property. None of the Astors exer-
else any supervision over the agents save
in the rendering and handing over of re-
ceipts from rentals. The new Astor hotel
facing Central Park on Fifth avenue.
is the conception of the agents, and in this
matter they consulted William Waldrof
Astor. He ordered them to construct
hotel that would stand among the first in
New York architecturally. They have
made their plans accordingly and 1t SO hap
pens that considerable portion of the
property along which the new rapid tran
sit tunnels are planned to run belongs TO
the Astor estate. The agents now have
the plans of the engineers in their posses
sion, and are making a careful examina-
tion of them. William Steinway of the
Rapid Transit Commission says that
the other property owners are waiting for
the agents to give their consent to the con-
struction of the road before giving their
own consents.

FRsIcHT HOUSE EMicRArEp.
Maine centraI's Reply to Action Of
Baths City Fathers.

BATH, November 26-The business men
of this city were somewhat excited yester-
day over the Maine Central Railroad Com
pany's order to take down at once and re-
move to Brunswick the large freight house
that large force Of workmen have been
puttiDgup ON the site Of the old repair
shops oft Knox Il Lincoln railroad.
The building, which was $50 feet long
and about 80 feet wide, had been framed
and boarded, and would have been COM
plsted In few days.
As soon as the order was received the
workmen began taking the structure down
and at o'clock this afternoon the work
had been completed and the lumber piled
In cars ready for shipment to Brunswick.
A petition from the company to the mu-
nicipal officers Of the city for permission to
erect such building in what Is termed "a
fire limit district" In the thickly settled
business part of the city was sent in, an or
dnance having been passed last year
against the erection of wooden buildings In
that section. Monday the petition was be-
fore the mayor and aldermen, who tabled
II, claiming as reason that the petition
did not set forth fully the kind OF build
ing to De erected, although work on 1t had
then begun.
The action Of the aldermen was commu-
ncated to Manager Tucker OF the railroad
company, and the mayor was expecting q
reply when he learned of the order for the
removal Of the freight house.

1T Is A RIDDLE.
Why Chancellor Won Cap
rivi Will Resign.
Some Say He Has Braved
Young William.
Frenchmen See Signs OF
Russian Influence.

BERLIN, November ga decided SEN
sation was caused here today by the an
nouncement that Chancellor Won Capriyi
will. in ali probability, retire from the
chancellorshlp Of the German empire. The
Chancellor's enemies. as soon as this re-
port had gained circulation, started the ru-
NOR that Won Caprlvi has had q serious
misunderstanding. and that he has adopted
the old Blsmarekian tactics of threatening
to resign unless he has his own way. They
say "Young William" will not put up with
a0y such blufing. and that Won Caprlvi
must remember that though he has been
'high favorite" he Is far from being the
historical parsonage Prince Bismarck was
and still Hs. In spite Of everything. OF
course, coupled with this rumor, Is the re-
port that should Won Capriyi resign.
Prince Bismarck may be recalled to power.
The accuracy Of this rnmor Is very much
doubted here.

WASHINGTON. November 26.-The Dem

the caucus contest today. Mr.. Mills and

Mr.. Carltse's letter vouching for Mr.. .Mills's
moderation of temperament, while other
candidates are not disposed TO attach much
importance TO 1T, at least as to Its Influence
upon their own strength. Few members
have as yet reached the city.
Mr.. Mcmillan said today that there was
absolutely no foundation Tor the statement
that he intended TO withdraw. He said he
might get whipped, though he did not ex-

aud that there was nothing In the situa-

1T is A DESPERATE GAME
Which New York Democrats Are
Playing for the Legislature.

ALBANY, N. Y, November 26.-The
action of the special term of the Supreme
Court. the hlgh-handed action of the
Democratic canvassers In Columbia county
and the death of Assemblyman Murphy of
this city yesterday, add new complications
to the legislative problem. At present no
one. Republican or Democrat, would be
bold enough to hazard statement, aside
from b0astlDg, OF the political complexion
Of the legislature which will meet next
January. At present, upon the face Of
the returns" the Democrats claim sixty
five members In the Assembly to sixty
three Republicans.
In the disputed Sullivan county case
Justice Furseman has ordered the Board to
recOnvene and reconsider its action in
awarding majority of one to Kennicb,
Republican. The matter is, however, to
be taken to the general term, and the
marked ballot In question being a bona
tide vote the decision will have an interest
apart from its present partisan significance.
