STRIKING MINERS COMPLAIN.
They Want the Military Withdrawn
From the I.eadvAle Mines.

Leadvile. Col, Nov 26.-Thc Cloud
City Miners Union has issued an address
to Governor Mcintyre and to the people
of Colorado which attempts to show that
conspiracy exists among the mine own
ers for the purpose of keeping the state
troops in Leadville until the union is dis
organized. The miners disclaim respon-
sibility for the Coronado and other out
RACES that have occurred here and offer
to guard property and aid in maintaining
peace if the Troops are withdrawn. The
address says:
The presence of the militia in Lead
vile so far will cost the people of the
state some 100000. Every day that
they remain here will add something over
$1,000 to this sum. and it must all be
paid from taxes. Will the state further
lend its aid to such tremendous cost to
destroy and crush organized labor-to
assist one class of citizens, strong and
powerful, against another class of citi-
zens, weak and humble in comparison!
The miners are ready and willing to
restrain and consider any reasonable
proposition looking toward a settlement.
They will meet the operators in spirit
OF harness ana justice. lney can not,
of course, and ought not to consent TO
the destruction of the union, for that
is the bulwark of their safety. 1t stands
between respectable labor life and tramp
life.
Neither can they consent to perform
their hard and exhaustive labor under
ground its constant hardshipS and face
its manifold dangers for less wages than
will supply them with the necessities of
life.
These two things are all they demand
All they ask is the right of the union,
the right for themselves, to live"

PENNSYLVANIA DEFEATED COR
NELL BOYS BY A SCORE OF
80 TO 10.
INDOOR GAME PLAYED IN CHICAGO
In Which the University of Chicago De
feated the University of Michigan
Boston Athletic Club Defeated
BY Chicago Athletic Club.

Philadelphia, Nov. 26.-Pcnnsylvania
80; Cornell, 10. The Pennsylvania foot
ball eleven wound up the season OF
1896 by playing pretty much the same
kind of game as she has done all along,
Mt times brilliant, while at other times
it would have put to shame lot of
school boys.
Cornell played brilliant game through
out. With the exception of Bassford at
quarter then play was of the most per-
feet, and lad it not been for the fact
that tn team was so much lighter than
the red ana blue there would not have
been 80 points scored againt them. There
were few attempts at tricks by either
side The interference OF the Cornell
team was always up to the standard,
which partially accounted for the brill
liant dashes by Beach and McKeever.
1t was due almost entirely to the mag
niicent playing of Cornelrs back field
that both of their touch downs were
made. BY steady Dlunges in the out line
and an occasional run around the ends
McKeeyer, Richie and Beach got the
ball over the red and blue goal line
twice. These players seemed to be all
over the field at the same time, and the
playing of Lee and Taussg on the ends
was also brilliant They got down I'M
Ter kicks remarkable fast and tackled
Ike fends.
For Pennsylvania Woodruff, Minds,
Farrar, UifCnheimer and Wharton did
hnc work. The game was witnessed by
1000 u. olle.

and the armory is turning out 125 rifles
or carbines per day under the appro-
priation made last year. All the ammu-
milton for small arms now made Is sup
piled with smokeless powder OF Amerl-
can manufacture, and of satisfactory
quality. The secretary says the Missis-
sippi river commission has decided TO
discontinue the plan to improve the river
by bank protection, and adopt dredging
channels in shoal places and maintain
ing with state and local cooperation eff
fectiye leyee systems. With this change
of policy the minority believe the func-
ton of the commission is good and work
should be turned over to the secretary
of war.
Three hundred Apache prisoners Of
Geronimos band, the secretary says,
have led a just pastoral life at Fort Sill,
and have reached self-supporting con-
dition. He recommends that in time IL
tie to 10000 acres which they occupied
be acquired by the government and that
they then be placed under the control OF
the Indian bureau.
The report shows total expenditures Tor
the year SOL ,S03,293, of which $1,436-
7.6 was for salaries and contingencies
in the war office at Washington, which
shows a saving of $5S2, $50 from the
expenditure under the same head for
the year 1892. The aggregate of APP
preparations for the department uneX-
pended and turned back into the gov
crument fund of the treasury at the end
of the last fiscal year was S1,W5,O33.
In closing his last report the secre-
tary says
II have satisfaction in placing on rec
ord my high appreciation of the char
acter, ability and zeal of the officers of
our army, and the general spirit of 10y
atty and patriotic inspiration which per-
wade its ranks. To these officers and
men, and to the heads of departments in
the war Office. all of whom have given
faithful support to the administration of
this department, | make the acknowl-
ed.ment which is their due"

ents from the University of Virginia,
the score being 46 to O.
When play was called there were be-
tween 5000 and 10000 persons eagerly
scanning the field and endeavoring to the
utmost of their powers to make all the
noise possible. The plays all through
the game were brilliant so far as Virginia
was concerned, but she so far outclassed
her opponents that scoring was not n
difficult feature. When the Virginia
players got the ball it was forced towards,
the goal by quick advances and hard
rushes. Particularly noticeable plays
were made by Dabney, Groner and IioN-
TON for Virginia and the most effective
work for Carolina was the tackling OF
Green and Wright. Groner made SIX
touchdowns. Dabney two and seven goals
were kicked.
The game was umpred by Armstrong
of Yale. Bovard of Princeton acted as
a referee. The Virginia team and their
admirers own the city tonight.

LADY RUSSELL LIBEL SUIT.
Earl Russel's Relations With Chinese
Servant Aired.

London, Nov. 26.-At the Old Bailey
today, Justice Hawkins presiding. the
trial of Lady Selma Scott, mother of
Countess RUSSELL John Cockerton, an
engineer; Frederick Kask, a groom, and
William Aylott, a valet. charged with
criminal libel by Earl Russell, was re-
sumed.
Lady Scott, who was at court at an
early hour, was smartly dressed and
wore a long, sable mantle. When she
entered the prisoners dock her maid os..
tentatiously handed her a bottle OF
smelling salts. The court was densely
crowded, more interest apparently being
taken in the case today than upon any
previous days of the taking Of testimony;
The cross-examination of Earl Russell
was continued, the main feature of the
early part of the days proceedings be
ing questions put to witness regarding
his relations with a Chinese servant.
During these interrogations the earl
admitted that he had spent 500 pounds
sterling in employing detectives to watch
his wife. The cross-eXamination OF Earl
Russell also brought up the famous let
ter from Lady X" which figured in the
previous suit. This missive was read in
court. 1t developed that the author was
she who told the story of Earl Russell
and the Chinaman, who, she said, was
ceverly reshipped to China by the Hon.
Liulph Stanley.
The earl admitted that he at one time
employed Chinese boy whom he
brought with him from San Francisco,
but the witness denied all the allegations
of improperly.

INDOOR FOOTBALL.
University of Chicago Eleven Beat the
University of Michigan.

Chicago, Nov. 26.-In the big building
in which, five months ago, Mr.. Bryan
was nominated for the presidency, To-
600 cheering football enthusiasts saw
the eleven of the University of Chicago
defeat the strong eleven of the Univer-
sity in one of the most desperately con-
tested games ever played in Chicago, the
final score being Z to 6. The result was
! surprise to everybody.
Although the Chicago eleven professed
The utmost confidence in winning, yet
there was no such confidence by their
supporters, who at best looked for them
to hold their opponents down to small
score. TO Hcrschberger, Chicago's full
back, belongs the homer of winning the
game. His punting was one of the fea-
lures and his goal from the field, kicked
from the 40-yard line, went clearly
between the goal posts. He easily out
classed Hogg, the Ann Harbor full back.
and time and again his long kicks saved
his team. Chicago could do but little
with Michigan's line, most of her gains
being on end plays, in which she dis
played splendid interference, or by the
kicking of Herschbcrger.
Hamil and Firth, the Chicago ends,
both distinguished themselves by some
very pretty tackles. On the Michigan
side, Pingree, in the first half, was the
whole thing" the plucky little fellow
seldom failing to make the required dis
lance. He was, however, forced to re-
tire in the second half his place being
taken by Herbert, who was equally eff
fective. Michigan made frequent use of
the famous Princeton tackle and guard
back plays, which were very effective.
Very few tricks, however, were resorted
to by either side, both relying on straight,
hard football. One thing at least was
settled by the game, and that is that in
door football is success. The weather
outside was wet and windy, but the shell
tering walls of the big Coliseum protect
ed the players and the crowd, and the
game was played on field that was
ideal in its footing. The noise was sim
ply terrific. Every mothers son and
daughter seemed to be possessed of a
tin horn and determination to blow it's
mouthpiece through the roofs. College
yells and songs of all kinds were start
ed up with or without provocation and
at times the play had to be stopped on
account of the inability of the players to
hear the signals.

Two thousand people witnessed the de-

6 to 0. The weather was fine and the
gridiron elastic. Both sides played a
sluggish game, devoid of brilliant plays
or special features. The Galveston
teams ignorance of the rules lost them
the game on the quarter back kick in
the first half. and the game see-sawed
from this to the finish without incident
of note. 1t happened in this way:
Quarter back Van Howard of San An
tonic took Left End Elskaridge's place
in left end, Smith taking Howard
place, and Elskaridge dropped behind
Smith. Smith kicks on fluke, and Els
karidge runs forword, grabs the ball
and rushes to Galveston goal, scoring 4,

Houston, Tex. Nov. 26.-(Special)-
| This afternoon, ut Herald park, the Bail
high school eleven of Galveston and the
| Olympics of Houston played the first
| game of football that has been played in
this city for years. Captain Druesedow
| bucked the center for five yards; Smith
went around right end for a few more;
DruesedOw tried center again; the whole
Galveston team went down in heap,
but Houston had another gain. Hous-
toms captain made an excellent run
around right end for few more yards.
The ball was now on Galvcston's 5-yard
line, and, struggle as they would, they
could not regain lost ground. Druesedow
bucked the line for five yards and scored
touchdown. A goal was easily kicked
and the score was, Houston, 8; Calves
ton, o.
When time was called for the first
half the ball was on Galycston's 5-yard
line.
The second half was Il struggle First
the ball would be in Houston's territory
and then Galvcston's. but the score re-
manned the same to the end. Galveston
seemed to brighten the Houston boys
when the ball was on the latter's 25-yard
line, and this was due to the fast run of
Cooke.
