THE FATE OF a. J. AuBLER
The Story of His Life Was One of
Fortunes Won and
Lost.
HE FATE OF A. J. AuBLER
Associated Press.

Walla Walla, Nov. 25.--J. A. Huber,
in the early days one of the most sue
cessful grain spectators of the North
west, died at Milton last night, aged
20. He went into the Willamette VAL
ley from the Caribou mines in the
early sixties, taking with him about
$4,000. He was natural born specu-
lator, and soon began doubling his
money dealing in bacon and hogs. Az
terward engaging in the grain business
in Portland he was remarkably
shrewd buyer, and made a fortune
Four or five seasons he bought all the
oats raised in the Willamette Valley
During his career, whenever grain
dealings proved unfortunate, he recov-
cred his lost ground by speculating in
hogs. About ten years ago he had
large holdings in wheat, when the mar
ket commenced declining. He held on
until closed out and his fortune was
completely lost. He soon lost his mind
and was taken to the oregon Insane
asylum He was afterwards released
as cured. A year ago last summer,
still adhering to his old theory that
he could retrieve his fortunes by deal
ing in hogs, he picked up a band of
hogs and took them west to Oregon,
where he fattened them. He slaugh-
tered them himself and made them
into bacon, which he disposed of at a
handsome profit This season he bought
100 head of hogs and drove them to-
Milton, where he made a corral for
them under a bridge. He lived in a
tent among his hogs, feeding them
damaged grain About three weeks
ago he became sick from exposure and
consented to be, taken to the house of
A. Church, where he died.

YALE's SEVENTEENTH VICTORY
Harvard 0utplayed Throughout the
Gams--Eight Men We're
Injured.
Associated Press.

Springfield, Mass, Nov. 25.-The Yale
and Harvard elevens met today to con-
test for football supremacy in the pres
ence Of Il large crowd. Among the dis
tingushed spectators were Governor
Mckinley and Governor RUSSELL A
bet of $25G0 20 $4,000 on Harvard found
no takers. Anton and Waters, of Har-
ward, and Thorne, OF Yale, were dis
abled. Yale won by score of to 0.
AT the end OF the first half Harvard
had the ball on her 25-yard line In the
second half Yale got a try, the first in
the game. and kicked the goal. Score
Yale G, Harvard 0.
Harvard was outplayed and outgen-
eraled at every point, and the sons of
Elihu Hale won their seventeenth vic
tory from the crimson boys. Not far
from $4,000 people witnessed the con-
test, including Governors Russell, OF
Massachusetts, Mckinley, of Ohio, and
Morris, of Connecticut. Butterworth,
Yale's full back, was the hero of the
hour, as it was he who made the
touchdown from which the goal was
kicked From the players standpoint 1t
was an ideal day. but for spectators it
was uncomfortably cold. Yale won the
tess and chose the wind, giving Har-
ward the ball. Harvard's hopes were
high when the crimson line was seen
TO work a dying wedge so successfully
against the blue in the first FIVE min
utes of the game, but they fell after
that, for Harvard was never in 1t
again.
The first half ended without score
being made, but the Harvard men had
exhausted themselves, and when tae
play was resumed, the boys in blue
adopted the offensive, and rushed
things through to a victorious end.
Harvard yells grew fainter after But
terworth made the touchdown, and
when Captain Waters was injured and
obliged TO retire, the Harvard cup Of
sorrow was filled. The game was less
interesting than that of last year for
the spectators. 1t was also rougher,
eight men being injured, although only
one, Captain Waters, of Harvard. was
incapacitated for service.

Interesting Testimony on which Blount
Based His Report

Washington, Nov. 25-The fourth vol.
unie of papers accompanying Blount's
report was given out by the state de-
| partment, consisting of the full dis.
closures made by Blount in the dis
patches and with his report from Hon
olulu. 1t was the testimony on which
he bases his report. Numerous afTlda.
Wits bearing on the day the provisional
government was proclaimed go to show
that Minister Stevens recognized the
provisional government and that the
troops landed from the Boston before
the queens forces surrendered to the
provisional government.
The statement that Lilioukalani adj
dressed to Blount is Of special interest
and Importance. The queen details her
endeavor to promulgate the new con-
stitution, and her failure through the
perfidy of some of her cabinet, and
SAYS that although everything was
quiet, about o'clock on Monday, the
troops from the United States ship
Boston were landed by order of Minis
ter Stevens, in secret understanding
with the revolutionary party. After de-
failing her subsequent appeals to the
government of the United States, she
says: president Harrison's term of
office expired and President Cleveland
was inaugurated, and l hailed it as
good omen, having met him in 1887
while he occupied the presidential chair.
and have not been disappointed. Your
arrival brought relief to our people,
and your presence safety. No doubt
the provisional government would have
carried out extreme measures towards
myself and my people, as many already
have seen by their unjust actions. If
the president had been Indifferent to
my petitions. I am certain 1t would
have brought a serious result to myself
and tyranny to my subjects. In this
l recognize a high sense of justice
and honor in the person who is ruler
of the American nation.

PowDERLY RESIGNS.
Disgruntled Because He Could not do
All the Thinking.

Philadelphia, Nov, 25.-General Mas.
ter Workman Powderly rendered his
resignation to the general assembly OF
the knights of Labor this afternoon.
He was unable to keep the delegates
in the line he had marked out for
them, and this decisive move seemed
the only thing left for him to adopt.
Immediately after the resignation was
offered he left the hall, as he said, to
attend to some personal business. The
step was a surprise to all the dele
gates.
The causes which led up to the
resignation were as follows: Aftef
Powderly had been repeatedly urged
by the assembly to substitute a new
list of names for membership in the
executive committee he acquiesed in

not much more favorably received than
the first one. Today new life seemed

them. Powderly was also fruitless in
his endeavors to impress upon the as
sembly that he was only exercising
the powers the office gave him. His
opponents told him he had miscon-
strued the meaning of the constitution.
This only added fuel to the flames.
Powderly would not adopt the COM
mitteemen the delegates had elected.
He declared their elections Illegal Then
the climax came. The defeated leader
spoke with remarkable clearness as he
said: Gentlemen, you must either
obey the spirit of the constitution or

resignation" With that he left the
hall. Powderly was asked tonight If
he had really resigned. He replied:
