TOBACCO TAX FRAUDS.
Prominent Men in New York Are
Suspected.

NEW YORK, Nov. 11-For the last
two days forty internal revenue Of
fcers, under the direction of Col. Rob-
ert Williams, chief of the New York
and New Jersey division of the depart
ment, have been securing the city to
gather evidence against the large to-
bacco dealers, cigar manufacturers
and liquor distillers. Fraud in the
payment of tobacco and liquor taxes,
and supposed irregularities on the part
OF the government officials are behind
the investigation. When the work of
Col. Williams is completed, it is ex-
pected that men of important standing
in commercial and official life will be
affected. 1t will take a full month to
complete the work, because of it's mag
nitude, and because the Washington
officials have determined to make it
thorough. A tour of the tobacco fac
tories has been begun, and in some
cases, small seizures have been made
After the revenue men get through
with this city. they will invade Brook
lyn and Jersey City, where it is said
that the same condition exists which
prevails here. This work of the rev.
enue officers is said TO be only the first
step in the biggest inquiry made by
the department since the days of the

view of the coming game with Yale,
the following statement of the cUndi-
ton of the Harvard football team was
given today 1t comes from an official
source, and is considered a reliable
summary: The team has now reached
its eliminating point and satisfactory
results have been obtained. The var
sity team and subs Will come to the
game Saturday with no injuries that
need cause anxiety as TO their ability
TO last through the game. Except in
one or two cases, the team has shown
gradual Improvement and should be in
its best form Saturday. The ends have
covered their positions in excellent
form throughout the season. Their
fault is that they do not hold the run
ners we'll enough on defense
The probable lineup of Saturday Will
be Cabot, left end; Swain, left tackle;
BoUve. left guard; Doucette, center;
Shaw OF Haskell, right guard; Donald,
right tackle; MoultOn, right end; Car
rison, quarterback; Dibblee left half
back; Swain or Warren, right half
back; Warren or Haughton, fullback.
The practice of the Harvard football
eleven today was as usual in secret
and consisted of signal work kicking
and falling on the ball. There was Il
gratifying snap during the entire play
and the different ends, who were tried,
,got down the field in remarkably fast
time Not a man was injured, much
, to the relief of the coaches, of which
there was a dozen in the field, and the
tteam came out of the enclosure with
with scarcely a, man limping or show
ing the effects of the hard work.

financial condition generally by IS
suing other large sums of paper money

There are many indications shat
there will be another revolution soon
in Nicaragua; the third in about three
years. The people are restless and 90

TO ABSORB THE CLOVER LEAF.
Road to Be Made Division of the
Michigan Central.

ST. LOUIS, Nov lit is stated on
the authority of we'll posted railroad
man that railroad deal is on hand
that will be of vital interest to all
the roads in the Joint Traffic associ-
alton. The deal is no less than the
acquisition of the Toledo, Kansas City
& st. Louis, commonly known as the
Glover Leaf, by the Vanderbilt people
The deal is being manipulated, it is
said, by J. Pierpont Morgan, and the
Glover Leaf is to be made a division Of
the Michigan Central railroad The
scheme is of great interest to the rail
roads of this section, not only because
it will give the Vanderbilts another
line into this territory, but because it
will, in all probability, end great deal
of the rate trouble which has bothered
the lines of the Joint Traffic association
for a long time. The Clover Leaf has
long been a disturbing element, and
has given the Joint Traffic association
more trouble than any other road with.
in its territory.

Australian CoIOIrcd boxer Whipped
by Fred Morris.

LONDON. Nov. n.-Fred Morris,
Known as "Muldoon's Cyclone" and
starlight" the Australian colored
boxer, met tonight for i twenty-roun1
contest at Excelsior hall for the mid
dleWeight championship. Ten rounds
were fought, and Morris was the WIN
ner. Both men did pleaty of good
punching, but there was also a lot of
hugging. 1t is now understood that
Morris will challenge Dick OBrien, of
Boston, to fight limited number of
rounds before the club Offering the
largest purse. The contest created
great excitement. During the opening
rounds, it looked as if the Acyclonic
style Of Morris would soon settle mat
ters, but Starlight met his terrific
onsets gamely, though obliged to dodge
all over the ring. Morris forced the
fighting throughout, but got lot of
smart hits in return. In the sixth
round both men toned down, Starlight
having rather the better of it, but in
the next round Morris pulled himself
together. The tenth round was des-
perately fought. About half way
through, both men came to the moor
heavily and struggled hard on the
floor But Morris was the first UP.
The bout ended amid great excitement,
and the verdict of the referee was

ANSON ALL THROUGH.
Old 5Ian VIII Not Wear Chicago
Inform Next Year

CHICAGO, Nov. 1.-THE Tribune this morn
Ing says: Capt. Adrian Constantine Arson
will no longer play base ball with the Chi
cago club, if the word OF one of it's heaviest
stockholders goes for aught. This gentleman
stated positively within week that Anson's
contract with the local club would not again
be renewed. He said that the veteran, an
athletic wonder, is done for. He has outlived
his usefulness, and to continue him further
in service would be open defiance to the gem
raj clamor for his retirement. Not alone has
AnsOn grown too slow for active work on the
field, but his best friends admit that his head
is not as clear nor his discernment as acute
as a year ago. He has become peevish and
irritable, and at functions where rapid
"heady' work would have saved a game, he
has been found wanting. 1t will be a hard
thing for the old man, but the best inter-
ests of base ball generally and the local
club particularly demand change. Thus, at
any rate, argues the stakeholder who is re-
sponsible for the story that Arson is slated
for release.
Should the fair-haired big man be retired
he will want for nothing, since he is the
richest player in America. Those who have
been in the enjoyment of Anson's condolences
assert that his belongings will aggregate
close on to $500, 600. Were he penniless, other
wise his stock in the Chicago ball club would
