THE BLUE AND CRIMSON.
Both Yale and Harvard Busy With Practice.
Preparing for Their Game.

New Haven. Conn, Nov. 1.-THE first
practice of the Yale foot ball eleven since
the game with Princeton. Saturday, was
a very short and easy one. No team was
lined up against the Varsity eleven nor
were the scrub players given any work.
The Varsity eleven was put together
just as they played. Saturday. They were
played at catching punts and at falling
on the ball. 1t was in handling the bali
on kicks and passes that Yale showed
such lamentable weakness and it has
been determined to do all that is possible
to remedy this defect before meeting
Harvard. Frank Hinkey was, tonight,
joined by John G. Greenway. his famous
running mate at end on the 1895 eleven.
Greenway is fresh from his Cuban ex-
perience, where he gained military fame
as a Rough Rider. He will aid the
silent captain in coaching Coy, Eddy,
Hubbell and Slocovich and Yale will GER
ends in the next game than in the last.
Although De Saulles was in the back
field today, it is not believed that he will
be able to play in the Harvard game. He
himself thinks he can play it out.
A small company of ticket spectators

NO TARIFF REVISION
AT Short Session Of Con-
gress Says Mr.. DlngIey.
The War Revenue Act Good for at
Least a Year Longer.
---- ~
Military Occupation Of New Territory Should
Last the Same Time.

Washington, Nov. 1.-THE Washing
ton Post will say, tomorrow.
that the war tax will not be
abolished at the coming session
of Congress and that there will be no
revision, whatever, of the tariff. It.
bases this announcement upon the pos
tive statement made, today. by Chair
man Dingley of the ways and means
committee, who, in an interview, said:
The government will need for some
time all the revenue produced by the
war taxes. During the month Of OctO-
Der the war expenditures exceeds the
war revenue by some $14,O00,000, and
this month it will be $40. 900, 000in excess.
This being the case, there will be no
change at least in this fiscal year. The
war revenue act will continue in force
and unchanged except perhaps in few
minor administrative features for at
least wear longer. 1t is hardly nee
essary to add that there will be no re-
vision Of the tariff, although ! have
seen some statement to the effect that
such revision is contemplated.
THE session is limited to three
months" continued Mr.. Dingley. land
that short period will be mainly occu-
pied in passing the appropriation bills.
in enacting new laws for the regular
army and In deciding upon the legisla-
ton necessary for the government Of
Hawaii. In addition to these impor-S
tant matters, the usual number Of r0u-s
tine matters will arise. From the pres
ent outlook the session will be welt Un-
der way before the treaty Of peace With
Spain will be laid before the Senate
and the ratification Of that document
may not be accomplished before thAs
18th of March arrives:
viii that necessitate an extra ses--
sion?"
1T is of course impossible" said Mr..
Dingley, ito know what will arise be-
tween the LIST of September and the
18th of next March. but SO far as the
present outlook can form basis for
Judgment, l should say that no extra
session will be necessary or desirable.
unless some new question should arise
In the first place we shall not know
until the treaty of peace has been rafi-
fled what new possessions we are to
have and what legislation is necessary
for them and even then we will be in
no possession to act intelligently. l
think that the military administration
ought to be continued for at least a
year longer. Military administration

TRIAL OF MILDRED BREWSTER.
Young Woman Who Killed a Girl o
Whom She Was Jealous.

Young Woman Who Killed a Girl of
Whom She Was Jealous.
Montpelier, VT, April 4.-The trial OF
Mildred Brewster for the murder of
Anna Wheeler on May 49, 1897, was be-
gun before Judge Loveland Munson i'll
the Washington county court to-day.
Nearly one hundred jurors had been
summoned for the trial and large
crowd of spectators were present. The
murder was one of the most sensa-
tional in the history of Vermont. Both
Miss Brewster and Miss Wheeler were
in love with Jack Wheeler, who was
engaged to the girl bearing the same
surname, but who was no relative of
his. Wheeler had planned to take his
affianced to a Decoration day celebra-
ton. This aroused Miss Brewster,
who called upon her rival on the morn
ing of the intended festivity and later
started with her to the place where she
was to meet Wheeler. AS they passed
a secluded spot Miss Brewster drew a
revolver from her pocket and shot Miss
Wheeler through the head. She then
fired a bullet into her own brain. For
weeks Miss Brewster fingered between
life and death. Since last January
Miss Brewster has gained rapidly in
health and strength.

SPAIN BouGHr MINES.
Some Sent to Havana-Evidence Un-
earthed ia London.

Some Sent to Havana-Evidence Un-
earthed ia London.
London, April "details have been
obtained Of the manufacture of sub
marine mines in London for Spain,
which was first brought to the atten-
ton of the United States embassy
March 5. A man whose cards describe
him as being an electrical engineer and
whose name was forwarded at the
time to Washington, then said he sold
to Spanish officers in London several
years ago, a large number of mines,
eight or ten of which were placed in
Havana harbor He said they were
made in special way, had a specially
constructed cable which he can iden-
tify if the smallest piece is produced
and he added that some of the mines
We're fixed so that they could be fired
from a fort, while two of them had
bulbs so arranged that they would ex-
plode upon vessel coming in contact
with them He added, however, that
he did not believe the bulbs would be
used in water as shallow as that of
Havana harbor. Finally the man ex-
hibited plans of one of these mines,
which he said was the most likely to
produce the effect described as causing
the wreck of the Maine. 1t was num-
bered SO" and was constructed to con-
tain 500 pounds of gun cotton.
Lieutenant Commander j. c. Colwell,
the United States naval attache, has
since investigated the matter and has
made a report on the subject to the
United States government The facts
learned strongly tend to show that Ha-
vana harbor was mined and they I'M
questionably prove that Spain purchas-
ed mines for that purpose. The firm
of Lattimer, Rhodes & Clark, electrical
engineers, during 1SS7-SS, filled a large
order for Spain of lot of mines in
which were used four and a half tons
of gun cotton each. The work was
done under the surveillance of General
fernandez and General Bustemando.
The latter was then the head of the
Spanish torpedo school. By the order
of these officers the mines were divided
into four consignments, for Havana,
Cadiz, Freeport and Carthagena. The
mines were manufactured under the
NSNtoii
patents, which are described in Simons
book on torpedoes and mines. Glib
bons, from whom representative of
the Associated Press obtains the infor-
nation, and who furnished Lieutenant
Commander Colwell with a written
statement of the above facts and out
lined his theory of the explosion which
wrecked the Maine, was then employed
by the firm as superintendent of the
| torpedo department. He also says a
similar lot of torpedoes was manufac-
| tured for Spain in 1896. The manager
of the Westminster Engineering COM
| pany, which is the successor of the
aforementioned firm and with which
Gibbons is connected confirms the lat
ter's statement as to the manufacture
| of mines for Spain.

NEW HAvEN's DEFENsEs.


And the Proper Fertilization of the
Eastern Entrance to the Sound.
A we'll known citizen writes as fol-
lows:
An interesting Renaissance in refer
ence to efforts to secure the fortifying
of New Haven harbor is recalled now
that the government has ordered two
batteries for New Haven's protection,
one on each side of the harbor. Some
five years ago, when the Endicott bill
was pending in congress our townsman,
Captain Charles H. Townshend, who
had long and earnestly advocated the
need of defenses. for New Haven, re-
paired to Washington and secured the
aid of powerful influence there which
had New Haven tackled on to the bill
as among the cities to be fortified. BY
this timely and patriotic endeavor New
Haven interests were looked out for.
Now the government is to carry into
effect the plan laid out in the Endicott
bill five years ago and New Haven is
to have a couple of batteries. Captain
Tonwshend was also indefatigable for
years in agitating the necessity for
adequate defenses of the eastern en-
trance to Long Island sound, both for
protection of the cities along the sound
and for New York. All that he claimed
and worked for the government and
the public now recognize most clearly
as being emphatically necessary When
the Endicott bill was adopted the
plan was to provide New Haven with
number of disappearing guns What
will be done now is not exactly de-
fined. FORTIFY.
