FATAL LANDSLIDE.
New Made Land at Tacoma Piunges Into the Bay-Several
 Fatalities.

TACOMA, Wash., Nov. 29.-Shortly after Il o'clock last night 45 feet of the south end of the Puget sound warehouse of the North Pacific railroad on the water front, including the office of the road, the cattle sheds and the pump house for hy- draulic work of 6lllug in tide lands, sank into the bay. Just what caused the dsas- ter is @ mystery which no one has as yet explained.
 John Hansen, watchmau, was in the pump house and has not been seen since. He is believed to have been drowned. Close by the south end was the boat house land and partly on piles. This turned over completely. A family of six persons were asleep in the boat house. All were rescued except 15, ear-old girl named Emma, who is missing.
 At an early hour this morning the land seemed to be still slowly slipping into the bay. Whether it was caused by some con- vulsion of nature or merely the slipping of the made land into the bay remains to be seen.
 What appeared to be tidal wave was ob. served by Sergeant Harris at Old Town, more than Q mile away. Several shi ps parted their cables, but were secured be- fore sustaining any damage. The strip of land which slid into the bay was from 250 to 300 yards long and from 60 to 70 feet wide.
 The cave-in of the Northern Pacific rail- road s water front property is found today to be more disastrous and attended with more loss of life than was at first supposed. The length of the strip which caved in is about 400 feet and the damage done ex- tends back in places 100 feet. The ground is all made-that is, filled in and com posed of loose rock, earth and debris of all kinds. This has never had anything to brace it up or hold it in place, and the recent heavy rains have undermined 1t and caused it to slide forward into the bay, carrying every thing in its course. This is the generally accepted theory as to the cause of the acci- dent.
 The whole water front at this point was an anchoring ground for what is called the "Mosquito f1eet,n made up of small craft. Many of tbe ese vessels have disappeared, and thus far no trace of them has been found. Many boats served as sleeping apartments for their owners, and for this reason it IS thought that several lives have been lost besides those of Harson, the watchman, |, and Emma Stubbs, 15 years old, the step. daughter of H. B. Atger.
 diver will at once search for the missing property which lies at the bottom of the bay. An estimate of the damage to prop erty Is hard to give, but 1t will be over S50,- 900. Much freight, some of 1t perishs bls, was standing on the wharf and stored tn the warehouses which collapsed. Some of this merchandise can be readily recovered, but much of 1t will prove . total loss. A smau army of workmen are already atwork moving freight and saving goods which lie within reach. No bodies have been re- covered.

AUBURN SHUT OUT.
TUSCALOOSA WINS "JUsT AS EAsY"-A
 oNE-sIDED GAME.

MONTGOMERY, Nov. 29.-About 4000 peo- pie witnessed the game of football played here this afternoon between the Agrlcul- tural aud Mechanical college, Auburn, and ths University Of Alabama, Tuskaloosa. It had been looked forward to with consid- erable interest, caused by the intense ri- valry between the two colleges, and there were people in attendance from all over the state.
 Before the game Auburn made protest against Tuskaloosa playing outside men, and in consequence two former University of North Carolina students were declared out. Another protest was fled against Shelley and Abbott of Tuskaloosa, it being charged that they are each paid salary. This was denied by the University of Ala bama representatives and the nnatriculation of the two men was shown to be regular and they entered the game.
 In the first thirty-ive minutes half Tus- kaloosa made touchdown and kicked a goal, and in the last half two touchdowns were made and two goals kicked by the University, while Auburn failed to score, thus leaving the score IS 10 o. This makes houors even, Tuskelnosa having suffered defeat at the hands of Auburn last year.
 Not a single man on either Of the elevens was injured and the game throughout was free from slugging and ruftianism. The lineup was as follows:

GEORGETOWN SHUT OUT.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 29.-Today was a perfect football day and about 4000 people witnessed the annual game for the cham pionship of the District of Columbia play . between the Georgetown eleven and t Columbia Athletic team. The Columl S- boys will keep the handsome silk trot . for another year, winning by scorinfS S and shutting the college boys out. . , game was very rough and four men / e carried from the teid.

 Shields and Callahan distinguished them- selves, the former for bis brilliant all- around playing, and the latter for his un necessary roughness and slugging, receiV- inn a black eye from Dicki inson.
 At no time was Columbia's goal in much danger, and when time was called in the first half the ball was on Georgetow n 's one yard line. The Georgetown boys were plainly out of condition, as shown by their numerous accidents and the fact that all the scores were made in the second half, Il Columbia boys standing the rough pl much better than their opponents. TLe teams weighed just about the same.

 Congressman Adolph Meyer was very much averse to talking on the subject. He seemed to think 1t most serious political question and deserving the most careful consideration before an opinion should be expressed.

the fires and the mobs had spent their
fury, and Gen. Hanc cck arrived on the
scene with large Federal foroe-ony
to find there was nothing for him to
do.
The scenes Of violence and murder
at Pittsburg were copied in small in
every imp rtant railway center Of
Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, Michi-
gan, New York and Illinois There
was VIC 'ence at Buffalo and along the
line of the Lake Shore roa1. The fever

Violence In Chicago.
During the Passage of these exciting
events the men in Chicago became
riotous, and on July %, the switchmen
of the Michigan Central struck. Next
day they were fol owed by the firemen
and brakemen of the same road and
other roads, and by noon not road
but the Northwestern was moving
freight. AS in the East, agitation
stirred up the people and Federal aid
was asked as protection against vio-
lence. This did not deter the mob
from visiting factories and compelling
those at work to leave their obs.
Special police were sworn in and Jhe
militia called out. On Thursday, July
rs, there were several battles, result
ing In the killing OF eight persons.
Next day, with the help of regular
soldiers, the mobs were overawed and
the strike practically came to an end
without gaining that for which it was

with Gen. Howard and his staff Gen.
Hancock discussed the battle. The
figure is supposed to represent him ia
the act of telling his assc ciates that the
brunt of the battle would fall
on Round Top. The sculptor's
idea has been to represent
the intellectual characteristics of the
commander, and not the merely physi-
cal. The height of the horse is six feet
six inches to the withers, and the en-
re height of the statue is seventeen
feet. The horse stands on well de-
signed architectural pinth, the work
of friend Of the sculptor. On each
side Is cartouch bearing on one the
name OF the sculpto" and on the other
the name Hancock.
Gen. Hancock Is represented seated
in the saddle in position which Capt.
Ward, VINO was his aid during the
war, has pronounced very characteris-
tic. There is no sword or other ap-
purtenance, the purpose being to make
the statue broad and dignified in
effect. The face wears an expressiC n
OF intense interest and the eyes are
looking out over the field. The horse
has three feet on the ground and one
raised paving the air.
