the campus, and groups are discussing
the one absorbing topic in the hotel
corridors. The Tontine hotel is the
headquarters Of Harvard men and Har-
ward sympatlrizers. The New Haven

liticaf convention, and guards, tackles,

1t has in nine years past been the
custom for the team to be taken away,
either to hotel or to the infrmary, as
was done last year, on the eve of bat
tie, in order that the men may be kept
quiet and undisturbed by noise or wor-
~. Tonight, however, they will remain
in their rooms.
There is but very little betting thus
far, and Harvard money is going beg

evening, with the odds 10 to on Har-

money was taken.

o'clock tonight the Harvard football
players were bundled off to bed to
dream of tomorrow's great contest.
They are all fit and eager for the fray.
They are not boastful or over-confi-
dent, but still they all expect to win.
Harvard players were up betimes
this morning. Led by Captain Dibblee
and Dun Dean the entire squad took a

quarters of an hour, and lunched al

At 3 o'clock the men put on their
football toys and went out to Hanover

first and second elevens rehearsing the
signals.
There was no change in Harvard S

the Princeton game, though Farley and

Cochrane and Warren respectively be-

is believed that the Spanish commits
sioners finally will accept this offer,
though it is fully expected that once
the commission reaches the point of
naming sums of money and has left be-
hind it all the irrelevant discussion
touching sovereignty. the Spanish COM
missioners may make a. determined eff
fort to secure a larger allowance than
the president has sanctioned.
1t is now thought to be certain that
the commission at q meeting next Mon
day or Tuesday, will do one of two
things, j. e.: either agree to the ces-
sion of the Philippines or note dis
agreement and dissolve the meeting,
for the administration is not disposed
to tolerate further delay and has so
instructed the United States commits
sioners. The latter sent a long cable

occupied the entire official day and
meantime there were wild rumors

of the Spanish side of the case relating
to the Philippines. There was a re-
newal of the intention to take issue on
the American contention as to the
meaning of the protocol clause relating
to the disposition of the Philippines and
much clubbing, accompanied by quota
tions from French, Spanish and other
European languages in the effort to
demonstrate to Americans just what
an English word might mean. The lat
ter will take no notice Of this kind of
hair-spIitting plea, but at tomorrow's
meeting will call on the Spanish COM

American proposition to cede the Phil

Twenty-Five Men Injured, One Fat

Wilton, Ia, Nov. 1S.-Twenty-two
men were more or less injured in two
railway wrecks near here today during
a heavy fog. In header freight col
lision on the Rock Island at Moscow.
Brakeman John Donahue was fatally
hurt. Brakeman Marshall Miller had a
leg broken. Three other trainmen were
seriously injured. DOrahue did not
long survive. His injured comrades are
being cared for at the Hotel Ludlow
here by the cOmpany's surgeons.
Just after the Moscow accident con-
struction train which left here to clear
the wreck was struck by the fast mail
train. The crew of the mail train failed
to see the signal displayed at Wilton

they did yesterday, to formulating their
next presentation for the consideration
of the Spanish commissioners.
While the Americans are reticent as
to their intentions, it may be said
without reserve that the occasion is
near upon which the exact peace terms
acceptable to the American commits
sioners will be laid before the Span
iards, with time limit for their &C
ceptance.
AS previously indicated in the dis
patches, the American commissioners
will not involve the United States in
any obligations to the creditors of
Spain in any shape or form In other
words, the Americans will not guaran-
tee any of the Spanish bonds, even if
they have mortgaged as security the
revenues of territory to be taken by the
United States. AS set forth in these
dispatches on Oct 81 and previously,
the United States may now balance its
war ledger, debiting to Spain the value
of the battleship Maine, the cost of the
naval and military operations, the
losses incurred by American commerce,
and the future pension roll, etc., while
on the other side of the sheet may be
placed Spain's equities and values in
If a difference is found to exist in
favor of Spain, this amount, in cash,
may be offered her by the American
commissioners at the next joint ses-
sion here What this balance may be
is not definitely known, but it may be
about $2G,O00,G00, or possibly less. The
Americans may also require until next
! Monday or Tuesday to prepare the
final presentation of their case, which
was understood at the adjournment of
Wednesday last.
There were three official functions
here yesterday afternoon and evening,
which aroused considerable interest
among the American peace commits
sioners. The first was the bestowal of
the Golden Fleece upon President
Faure by the queen regent of Spain,
through the president of the Spanish
peace commissioners, Senior Montero
Rios, and his fellow commissioners.
Finally, at o'clock last night, Presi-
dent Faure received the American COM
missioners at the Elysee palace, where
there was a comique opera entertain
ment in their honor
There is some surprise expressed
among the members of the American
colony at the bestowal of the decora-
ton upon the French president at the
hands OF the Spanish peace commission
at this moment, and others are asking
themselves whether the entertainment
at the EIysee palace was to be regard

Protecting Late .SOvn Grain,

We doubt whether it is practically
possible to protect late-sown grain by
any covering whatever in the climate
Of Western New York. If you have
manure, however, that you can spare
to topdress the wheat after the ground
has been frozen, that is another mat
ter. The manure, unless in greater
amounts than we should advise for
wheat, will amount to very little as
protection. What effect it will have
is as manure after the growing season
begins, and especially to mako a
vigorous clover growth for the young
clover. Five or six loads Per acre
thinly spread will be sufficient for
this, and that Of course means that
much Of the surface will have only q
very small amount of manure on each
Of the 1850 square feet surface that
an acre contains. The notion that
grain straw scattered over the fields
will be Of any benefit whatever is an
absurdity. The straw cannot prevent
the soil beneath it from freezing.
But IN spring it acts as mulch just
at the time when the young grain
needs all the sunlight it can get tc
warm the soil. So the mulch in spring
Will do. as much harm if not more
tnan it gave Of benefit during thu
winter. In most cases, however, fal
mulching with straw results in th'
straw being piled next the fences b,

in a small pond he had constructed on
his place. Mr.. McWilliams had
watched over his pets with jealous
care, and they were rapidly approach
ing that stage when they would be
suitable for the table. The pond was
fed by sluice from little run which
gurglea along to one side it. When
the late drought was on the water in
the run got so low it would not enter
the pond through the sluice. The
bottom of the pond was higher than
that of the run. It was about this
time that a muskrat took up his abode
in the run. Now, muskrats like Ger
