TO-DAY'S BIG GAME.

Boston. November 12.lThe Yale uni
versity foot ball team reached Boston
this evening. The foot ball party num-
bered ffty-six- OF this number forty
four were players and substitutes. As
regards Yaleis chances for victory, there
is little to be said. Captain Rodgers
and his coachers refused 10 talk for pub
lication on thai score. They admit that
the men are in fine condition ply sicaIly.
that their spirits are good and that
they are prepared to fight the hardest
kind of a battle. In spite of the fact
chat the Yale men are not loquacious,
however. It NOT dif1cult to see that the
New Haven ccllegiahs are not worrying.

SENATOR MILLS on CUBA.
What He Would DO II He Had tn
Power of the President.

What He Would Do If He Had the
Power of the President.
After The Stars report OF the proceedings
in the Senate closed yesterday Mr.. Mills
continued his argument in behalf of the
CubaEs.
Incidentally he said: "An assassin sits on
the throne of Spain. We owe no duties to
despots. we owe no duties to Spain, except
under the treaties she has persistentIy re-
fused to obey"
Quoting the Presidents message that the
United States looked with wonder and ad-
miration on the immense armament being
sent to Cuba, he exclaimed: What, We a
people whose liberty was bought by our
fathers blood! For one I repudiate the
statement. I look with horror and indigna-
ton on 1t, and If I had the power he has
would call on Congress to give me au-
thority to send American fleets to Havana
and reduce those forts to ashes If our peo-
pie held there were not released.
Would to God We had one hour of Com
modore Ingraham, Franklin Pierce, IN
these days." he exclaimed. He cared moth
ing about the courts of Spain or any other
courts on EARTH If he thought American
citizens were not given a fair trial and he
was in power he would make the atmos-'
phere of Madrid smell of sulphur for a
month. But for the boards of trade, stock
exchanges and commercial gamblers it
might be possible for this government to
show some virility. And now Congress
was threatened with the tremendous power
of Italy. Signor Crispi said that European
nations could not look without concern
upon the pretensions of the United States.
And who is Signor Crispi?" Mr.. Mills
asked. ''There was a day." he began, and
gave rhetorical description of Italy's past
glories, ending. land the symbol of the DOW
er of Italy today Is a monkey and organ
grinder" If she desired to form another
holy alliance let her come on with her
monkeys and organ grinders and hot to-
males, and by the red blade of war We
would offer her a warm reception.
After Mr.. Mills had concluded the Senate
drifted into a discussion of the constitu-
tional question of the rights of recognition.
in which Messrs Hale of Maine, Allen of
Nebraska, Hoar of Massachusetts,, Chiffon
of Texas, and Morgan of Alabama took
part
Mr. Hale held recognition to be exclusive
ly presidential power.
Mr.. Hoar believed that Congress had the
power incidental to the regulating Of COM
merce and war making clauses. and raised
the question what would be done II Con-
gress should command the recognition of
Cuba and Spain should on the day after ad-
journment conquer Cuba.
Mr. Morgan, referring to Secretary Oh
ney's citation of his statement In an old
speech that recognition was a presidential
clio. He said that the recent recognition by
the president OF the republic OF the new
Central American republics might furnish
practical test of the question, and in
nulled the laws Of Congress accrediting
representatives to each of the three govern
ments which formed the new republic

FOR A CHILD.
The Legal Struggle for Little Goldfe
Frost.

The Legal Struggle for Little Goldfe
Frost.
The contest for the custody of the little
child known as Goldie Marie Frost or Bur-
roughs. or Collins. was again postponed by
Judge Cole yesterday afternoon, and it Is
probable that the matter will be disposed
of tomorrow afternoon. to which time the
case was continued
The contest was instituted several days
ago by Robert Frost, who claims to be the
father of the child, he seeking to secure
possession of the little one by habeas
corpus proceedings. He charged that the
child was in the possession Of the Bruen
Home Of this city, or in that of Mrs. Eliza
beth Fleck. President Bruen of the home,
however, answered that it was not in the
home. and Mrs. Fleck replied that the child
was in the custody of Mrs. E. r. Alder
man of Ohio to whom She had given the
child after the death of it's mother, Mar
garet Collins. the 18th of last month. Mrs.
Fleck said that she would communicate
with Mrs. Alderman and endeavor to have
the child in court yesterday.
When the case was reached late yester-
day afternoon, Mrs. Fleck and Mrs. Alder
Mrs. Fleck explained how the child had
been given to her by its mother in May,
1895, the mother denying that Frost was
its father, although admitting that 1t was
born out of wedlock. After its mothers
death she had given II to Mrs. Alderman
lady of refinement and means. who had
adopted it. She did so. she explained. be-
cause she thought that would be best for
the child. and because the court had set
aside the alleged marriage between Frost
and Mrs. Collins, giving the child to its
mother. and because she had been inform
ed that Frost was not a proper person to
have the custody Of 1t. Aff7davits were also
read from the grandmother of the child
to the effect that she desired that the little
~ To- -tx<,~A T..
Aff1davtts were also submitted. showing
that the child was at the time of the
previous hearing In Ohio.
Counsel for Frost. Messrs Locke and
Hamilton. asked time In which to answer
Mrs. Flecks statements, and Judge Cole
adjourned the case until tomorrow after
noon. allowing the child to remain mean
Alderman.
