COLLEGE GIRL MISSING.

Springfield, Mass, Novem ber so.-Thero
is much excitement among the faculty
and students of Mt. HoIyoke college over
the strange disappearance of Miss Bertha
Lane Mellish, daughter of Rev. Mr. Mel.
iish of Killingly, Conn.,, and one of the
best students in the college. She was
last seen last Thursday afternoon going
from the dorlnitories to the South Had
ley post Office, a three.minute walk, and
since then no trace has been found, al
though searching parties have secured the
village of South Hadley and its vicinity.
Her father arrived today and PinkeI-
ton detective has been secured. Miss
Mellish is 20 years old, rather petite and
attractive in face and disposition. Presi-
dent Mead stated today that she was a
bright and studious girl and was we'll
liked by the faculty and her sehooimates,
although semewha reticent in disposi-
tion. There are fears tina. she has stud
led too hard and her mind may have be-
come affected.

TO DIG co ..
Canadian Pacific Magnates Form IA
Company.

New York. November 20.-Several of
the leading directors of the Canadian
Pacific railway, who are backed by un-
limited English capital, and have the
promise of liberal rights from the Ca
madam government, have organized an
extensive mining company, which pro-
mises to eclipse anything that was
ever projected in this country. They
will conduct mining operations and
various transportation and trading enter
prises on a vast scale in British Columbia
particularly in the newly developed
sections OF Alaska. 1t is not unlikely
that they will open up new ssections OF
the great northwest.
This is the syndicate that Lieut. Gov
Mcintosh of the northwest province re-
ferred to when ne returned to New York
from England and was interviewed on
the outlook in Alaska.
Mr.. Mcintosh at that time gave no de.
tails, but said that some of the leading
English capitalists, including the Ca
madam Pacific directors. had decided to
launch a great enterprise for mining gold
and other minerals, and he also said
that very likely they would do some rail-
road building, and open up new territory
He assumed that the new road would
be operated in connection with the Ca
madam Pacific.
1t is now definitely known that Presi.
dent Van Horne, Lord Mt Stephen and
other influential directors of that COM
pany, who are also interested in telegraph
matters, will take leading part in the
new project, and, beside the English capt.
tai, it is reported that John W MackGy
and the Rothschilds are interested.
Whether the latter are connected with
the Canadian Pacific scheme could not
be definitely ascertained, but MIR. Mack
ay's friends, it is reported, have heard
him speak of vast gold mining scheme
in which fortunes are likely to be made
during the next few years. Mr.. Mackay
is associated with the directors of the
Canadian Pacific in one or two enter
prises.
The report is that Mr.. Mackay stated
he had made prospects on large scale
in various parts of the United States as
we'll as British Columbia. 1t was also
reported that II. Maitland Kersey, Ame-
rican agent of the White Star line, would
resign his position to become manager
of MIR. Mackay's company.
The real facts in the case are that Mr..
Kersey is expected on January to as
sumo the management OF the company
that is being organized by the Canadian
Pacific in the United States. 1t ia possi-
BILE, therefore, that Mr.. Maoaky win have
a large interest in this company and that
the Rothschilds will put money into it,
Mr.. Kersey last night declined to say
anything about his future plans or 10
discuss the affairs of the new company

FOR FRENCH FARM ERS.
The Government Considering Measures
for Their Relief.

Paris, November 20.-During the debate
in the Chamber of Deputies today on
the subject of agricultural crises. the pri-
mier, NJ. Meline, declared the cause of
the crises was the progressive fall dur
ing the past 20 years, in the p-ice of all
agricultural products combined with the
depreciation in the price of silver.
France, the premier continued was
powerless to settle these questions because
they are of an International character.
The agricultural class, he explained.
were not only beset by foreign competi
tion, but they had to fight the middleren
who were far too numerous. 1t was the
duty of the government, he said, to bring
the consumer nearer to the producer and
consequently the government would
shortly submit a bill for an agricultural
credit establishment and for the estab-
lishment OF agricultural insurance off
ces. In conclusion, the premier said
These measures will have mutual treat
ment as their basis and will also estab-
lish an aid and pension fund.-
Inc statements OF the premier were
greeted with loud cheers. NJ. Georges
Craux, independent Republican, and a
strong advocate of the interests Of agri-
culture, then moved that the Premier's
speech be printed and posted in every
community throughout France. The
motlon was carried amid great applause

remarkably well.
The second half was wonderful in
many ways Yale started ont With a
rapid offensive which tool. the prince-
ton men from their feet. She forced The
strife into the enemy's territory at once
and the first few minutes of the half
betokened something which locked like
Yale victory. Then Princeton had the
ball. The Yale forwards were through
the line like madmen. They smashed
their rivals formations with ease and
Princeton was forced to kick. Little De
Saulles, Yale's quarter back, caught the
ball on Yale's twenty yard line and,
lodging and throwing the Princeton
tackle he swept down the field like q
demon and was not stopped until he
covered forty yards of ground
Soon after this Yale began her victor
ious attack. By superb line bucking, end
running and clever formations she rushed
the ball towards Princeton's goal and
at last it was Yale's ball on the Tigers
five yard line. Two rushes were required
and Dudley was carried across the Prince
ton line to a Yale victory.
Caldwallader, the big freshman centre,
easily kicked ha goalsandsthe score read I:
Yaie 6, Princeton 0.
Crippled and battered Princeton was
compelled to call out subs as the line was
renewed. Yale was at it again soon and
rushed the ball until De Saulles was to
pass it to his eager men within the
shadow of Princeton's goal post. The line
of painting Tigers made heroic stand
and by fierce resistance stopped the awful
rushes of Yale and gained the bali on
downs. Baird punted the pig skin out
of danger and sigh of relief went from
the Orange and black rooters. An ex-
change OF kicks landed the sphere at the
centre of the gridiron where it fell into
the possession of the visitors. Here Prince
ton made one of the pluoktest attempts
at recovery ever witnessed on football
field. She massed her players against
Yale's centre and rushed into the Blue
line, and tore holes through for space of
five minutes, crossing chalk line after
chalk line until the ball was within
twenty five yards of Yales goal. 1t was
Princeton's only chance to score. The
strength of the Tigers was spent, how
ever, and Yale took the leather away and
resumed her offensive plays with more
tierceness than ever. Yale was praoti-
cally certain of touchdown when the
time keepers called the hour and the big
game was over.
The teams lined up as follows:
