rNrERoon1EerArE TENNIS.

The Tournament Begins Tomorrow Several Beautiful Prizes-The Yale Rep resentatives-Players From Other Col leges.
 The annual tournament of the Inter- collegiate Tennis association will begin
 tomorrow morning on the grounds of the New Haven Lawn club on Whitney avenue, and will probably be finished before Friday night. There is no change in the rules nor method of conducting the tournament this year. The cham pionship in singles doubles and consola- ton singles will be played and the win ner of the tournament, besides winning
 the special prize offered by the associa- tion, will have his name engraved on the intercollegiate cup.
 Yale now holds the cup temporarily, having won it last fall on account of the phenomenal play of Chace and Foote. This cup together with other prizes, consisting of several fine pieces of silverware, will be placed on exhibi- tion at the rooms of the Lawn club this week.
  are Chace, Foote and Sheldon, as an nounced in the Courier" some days ago. The first two named are allowed to enter without playing in the univer- sity singles on account of their splendid work last year, but Sheldon is a fresh | man, a cousin of Captain Sheldon of the athletic team, and so had to enter for | the university championship, in which he won first place by defeating Kent 97. | He won the interscholastic tennis cham pionship of Connecticut last spring, rep resenting the Hotchkiss school of Lake vile at that time. He may be Yale's strongest player, as Messrs. Foote and | Chace have not done much practice this summer, Mr. Foote having been busy in his management of the football team, and MT. Chace having been trying for a place on the eleven.
 l MT. Sheldon was elected manager of l the freshman football team and is very lpopular among his classmates. Two of the Harvard delegates are l known, G. l.. Wrenn and Taylor | Wrenn is brother of Bob Wrenn, the ex-intercollegiate and Newport chanpi- 1 on, and is also coming player.
 l The Amherst representatives will be Milne, who has represented that insti- tuition for three years and Seelye, son of the ex-president of the college. | The remaining entries willlnot be an nounced until to-day.

KILLED BY THE ELEv4TOR.
Was Showing How Another Man Got Hurt
 When He Him self Was Killed.

Hartford, Oct 6.-Frederick Farr, the janitor of the Goodrich building in
 this city, met death in very peculiar
 manner last night in Patterson building,
 where he lives with his family. About
 8 o'clock Michael Barber, an elevator
 man employed in the Patterson build
 ing, got up or the sixth floor of the
 building and leaning over the wire
 work surrounding the elevator shaft shouted down to the basement to the
 night elevator man to come with the
 elevator. As the elevator started up- wards the heavy weight came down and
 struck Barber on. the head, cutting open his scalp and bruising him slight
 ly. The accident caused many of the
 tenants to come out and in the crowd was Farr. He undertook to show the others how the accident happened and
 climbing up on the wire fence took
 the same position as Barber was in
 when he was struck. While Farr was showing the tenants the elevator start
 ed and the weight struck him, crush ing his head between the top of the fence and the heavy weight. He was killed instantly. Farr was fifty-two years of age and leaves a family.

SOCIAL DEMOCRATS MEET. f Herr Rebel Received With Applause at the
 Breslau Convention.

Breslau, Oct. 6.-The congress of so- cial democratic convention convened here this morning. At II o'clock great meeting to welcome the delegates was held in Concordia hall, owing to the enormous concourse the police closed the hall against new corners an hour before the meeting. Among those who spoke in the hall was Herr Rebel, who was received with cheers. His address occupied only few minutes.t Emperor William, he said, had once promised a deputation of workmen to aid their handicrafts as far as possible in re- gaining the goldenen boden of yore.
 To bring about such a condition was impossible for any one It could only be achieved by society in it's entirety. The socialists, he added, did not seek to reintroduce mideaval conditions in the handicrafts, but to continue on the road of progress to organize and combine and to joyfully and energeti- cally fight to triumphant con- clusion. Herr Rebel denounced the poli- cy of protection, which he declared was only bolstered by capitalism.
 Upon the conclusion of his speech Herr Rebel was greeted with cheers that lasted many minutes, after which the meeting quietly dispersed. Herr Vollmar's illness prevented his attend ing the conference. There is strong force of police in the city streets, but nobody anticipates trouble.

Being Made tor Independence.
 New York, Oct. 6.-In the prelude to his sermon at the Academy of Music this morning Rev Thomas Dixon, jr., spoke on 'The Freedom of Cuba say ing: q believe it is the duty of the American government as speedily as possible to give the full weight of its support to the brave men who are fight. ing to free Cuba. They have withstcod for months an army of 15O,0O0 of the trained soldiers of Spain. This entities them to recognition and support. The men are heroes and are entitled 70 the support of the civilized world"
 Mr. Dixon declared that the Een fighting for freedom of Cuba were as much entitled to the support of the United States as was Washington army to the aid it received from the French and added:
 "Spain's tyranny in Cuba is dis grace to the western world and di- rect violation of the Monroe doctrine. It should no longer be permitted by the United States"

TROUBLE ON RIS.
Boilers Made it Impossible to Get Dry
 Steam.

Steam.
 New York, Oct, 6.-Captain Watkins
 of the steamer Paris when asked the cause of his slow voyage replied: "Priming of the boilers, rendering it impossible to get dry steam, This trou- ble, which was wholly unaccountable, developed on the last eastward trip but one, and has increased continuously
 since. Every remedy has failed to cor rect the trouble, and during out stay at Southampton last week experts took the clared we should have no more trouble. We had not passed the Needles; how ever when 1t began again and one boiler of the eleven had to be cut off altogeth- CT The chief engineer assures me that
 at no time has there been any difficulty about securing steam and that of such pressure to drive the ship at full speed and supply all the auxiliary engines, but he could not get dry steam and We were compelled to go slowly to avert accidents to water being carried over to | the engines. The chief engineer has been constantly at work during the voy- age and by his vigilance has made all the speed possible. If he attempted to go ahead any faster, as he often did. he found himself compelled to slow | down, the priming increasing immedi- ately."
 Are not the boilers old?" NO, everything is apparently in ex- cellent order. There is not thing the matter with the engines. They are in just as good condition os when trey | were put in. Every tube was new in l December when the ship was off six | weeks for repairs. No one seems com | petent to explain why the primine
 should have commenced. But, of course
 we shall find the reason before we leave port again"
 Hard running can have nothing to dc with it, or that would have similarly af- l fected the New York. There has not
 been the slightest danger to any pas | sengers.
