: WASHINGTON, Oct. Se-The Navy De-
partment has had its attention brought for
mally to the collision of the United States
ship Yantic and the Canadian steamer
Canadienne indirectly by the filing of a pro-
test by Governor Pingree, of Michigan.
This came by telegraph this morning to the
Navy Department, and records the Gov
ernor's disapproval of the idea of accepting
the Yantic from the government for the
use of the Michigan naval militia in her
present condition. The Governor has gath
cred that the ship is disabled, and, more
over he feels diSinclined 70 accept any re-
sponsibility for the accident. He has i'll
structed the agents of the State not to re-
ceipt for the delivery of the Yantic until
she is, repaired and these matters are ar
ranged. The naval officials are satisfied
that the Yantic cannot be libeled on ac-
count of the collision, irrespective of who
was at fault. The doctrine was we'll estab-

First Time This Season the Crimsons
Have Been scored Against.

Have Been Scored Against.
CAMBRIDGE, Oct. 3O.-Harvard easily
defeated Cornell on Soldiers field to-day,
but was scored on for the first time this
season. Harvard made four touchdowns
and forced Cornell to make a safety, while
in the first half, after gaining the ball on
a muffer kick, Young kicked a pretty goal
from the field for Cornell. This made the
final score, with three goals from touch
downs, "a to in favor of the Harvard
men. AT the close of the Arst half Harvard's
outlook was discouraging. The crimson
should have made much better stand to
protect the goal and had not the Cornell
backs hammered so successfully at the
right of Harvard's line 1t is doubtful wheth-
er Cornell would have got near enough to
risk the kick The management of the
plays in the second half have showed that
Harvard had kept up a better reserve
strength than the spectators had counted
on. Boal, who has made good name for
himself as a line bucker, was hardly used
at all until the second half.
!, By far the best work on either side was
done by Dibblee. Warren's work at full
back was neither good nor bad. Parker did
fair work with the ball, but did not prove
himself any better than Sullivan. Har-
wards defensive work was decidedly errat-
ic in the first half, but showed a marked
Improvement in the second. On the offensive
Harvard put up on the whole a strong
game. This did not appear in the first half,
but it came out well in the second. For
Cornell, Captain McKeever did by far the
best work. The Cornells proved Incapable
of keeping up sharp offensive game and
were weak behind the line They were re-
markably susceptible to injuries, full half
of the time being taken out of that account

cATARRH OF THE STOMACH
A Pleasant, simple, but Safe and Eff
fectuaI Cure for 1t.

Catarrh Of the stomach has long been con-
sidered the next thing to incurable. The
usual symptoms are a full or bloating sensa-
ton after eating. accompanied sometimes
with sour or watery risings, formation of
gases, causing pressure on the heart and
lungs, and difficult breathing, headaches.

There is often a. foul taste in the mouth
coated tongue and if the interior of the
stomach could be seen it would show a
Shiny infiamed condition.
The cure for this common and obstinate
trouble is found in treatment which causes
the food to be readily, thoroughly digested
before it has time to ferment and irritate the
delicate mucous surfaces of the stomach.
To secure prompt and healthy digestion is
the one necessary thing to do and when
normal digestion is secured the catarrhal
condition will have disappeared.
According to DR.. Harlandson the safest
and best treatment is to use after each meal
