HARVARD 2s; WEST POINT 0.

West Point. ". Y, October 15.-The
Harvard West Point football game here to-
day was witnessed by the largest crowd
ever attracted to the home grounds. Not
withstanding the cadets put up remark
ably strong game, Harvard rolled up a
score Of % to 0. After the second or third
play Baender of West Point was injured
and compelled to retire. His place was
taken by Keller. The game was stubborn

first half when Dibblee was forced over
the goal line and made touchdown.
Coohrane succeeded at goal and the first
half ended with score of to in favor
OF Harvard.
In the second half, the same conditions
prevailed as in the first half until within
ten minutes of the close, when Harvard
made four touchdowns and two goals,
running the score up to 2S. In this half
Haughton was substituted for Mills of
Harvard. West Point lost considerable in
punting but did splendidly in runs. Their
interference was also faultless but they

THE WORLDS WHEAT CROP

Washington, October 15.-The following
is summary of the agricultural depart.
ment report of agriculture in foreign
countries for October. The Hungarian
minister of agriculture and the several
commercial authorities have issued their
estimates of the worlds wheat crop Of
1898. The Beerhom estimate Is equiva-
lent to 2,640, 600, 600 bushels of go pounds.
III the grandtotal varying but little from
the Hungary official estimate. The wheat
crop of India for 1898 is officially reported
to be 242, 1891, $50 bushels, while the an
nual average for the previous five years
was 226, 446,080. Official figures ON area
show an increase of 6S7.172 acres in
France, of $3.50 acres in the United
Kingdom, l63,s60 in Ontario. Canada,
and l47, $50 in Manitoba in areas under
wheat. The estimates of production given
in tables published with the report make
the crop of 1898 the largest on record, but
the worlds reserve stock had run ex-
tremely low before the harvest.
The French area under wheat was about
four and one-quarter per cent greater in
1896 An official estimate for Hungary
puts the wheat crop at 1l9, 63S, 600 bushels
against SO, 924 900 last year At the be.
ginning of September the crops in
Argentina were reported to be in fine
condition but about three weeks later
they were represented as suffering for
rain and threatened by locusus.

A. G. Franklin of the Atlantic Trans
port com any, when seen, said: "There
is no truth in the report that the Mohe-
ean's boilers were defective, and that her
condition was not satisfactory. The YES
sci was in tirst-claSS condition. During
her first trip across from this side she
took % days, and for that reason 1t was
was not so. The ship was going only at
one-half rate speed, and we knew that
she would not arrive on the other side
before she did. On her arrival she was
completely overhauled. AS it was deemed
advisable to give trial before she sailed
again, her date Of sailing was put for
ward and the Manitou sailed in her place
on October g.
"After the trial trip we received cable
from the ships engineer and officers, say
ing that the Mohegan was perfect II she
is wrecked I do not believe the accident
was caused BY any defect OF her machinery
Or boilers"
A cablegram was received by Capt.
Tuzo, a yachtsman and friend of the

among those saved.

wood. whose name appears on the passen-
ger list of the Inflated steamer Mohegan,

this city who has for many years been
prominent in the oil business. Mr.. Lock

ciated with the Standard Oil company,
and has for the past few years acted as

BASE BALL LOSSES.

New York, October 15.-The National
League baseball season closed today and
Boston again won the pennant. The
majority of the managers of the teams
have nothing but tales of woe to tell.
There are three notable exceptions-Bo
ton, Chicago and Cincinnati. These are
away ahead financially, but the presidents
refuse to state the exact amount of their
profits. The rest of the clubs declare that
the war almost ruined them and that
they expect next season to be a good one
for the national game. One Of the heavi.
est losers is New York. Neither President
Freedman nor Treasurer Mccall will
discuss the disastrous showing made by
the Giants. but man who is pretty close
to both of them, states that the losses will
amount to not less than $4,000. The
attendance at the polo grounds was the
smallest by far ever known in New York
and the management claims that the war
had much to do with it, Brooklyn has
not such an expensive team as Manhat-
tan, but its losses are almost as great.
Visiting teams invariably Jared badly

NARROWING SCENES.

London, October 15.-Harrowing scenes
were witnessed today at the London
office of the Atlantic Transport company,
to which the wrecked steamer Mohegan
belonged. A number of women tainted
when the worst news became known, and
there was constant stream of telegraph
boys running to and from the office,
seeking for information or taking mes
ages to anxious inquirers.
The Mohegan, it is now said, has had
ill-luck from the start. 1t is added that
company when their own boats had been
sold to the United States government dur
ing the war. She was formerly the Cleo
patra, one Of the steamers belonging to
the Wilson and Furness-Leyland line,
and was bought direct from the Hull
shipyard.
She never ran for the Furness line and
made only one voyage out and home.
This, it is asserted, was most unsatisfac-
tory, and friends of the crew declare her
engines were defective and that her boil
ers leaked. She is further alleged to have
arrived at New York in such a condition
that she was sent home empty and her re-
turn voyage TOOK several weeks to CON-
plete and she drifted whole day ana

The friends ofsthe crew state, however,
that in a 24-hours' trial last week ner
performances were very unsatisfactory
and the crew did not wish to go on her on
account Of the change Of name and the
previous defect in her engines
The wrecked steamer was commanded
by Capt. Gritfitbs. Her chief officer was
Mr.. Couch, her second officer Mr.. Cole
and her third officer Mr.. Hindmarsh.
The officials of the transport company
believe that Inost of the passengers were
Americans who were returning home.

formerly captain of the Manitoba. and
then captain of the MiDnewaska, which
was sold to the United States government

YALE 6; NEWTON A. A. 0.

Newton, Mass, October 15.-In short,
but fierce game today, Yale managed to
score once on Newton A. a., principally
through off-side play on the part of New
ton and one or two sharp rushes by the
Yale backs through Newton's centre. The
visitors were utterly unable to get with
in % yards of Newton's goal line in the
first half, while the home team tore the
Yale line apart for frequent gains and in
a bad mutt by Townsend pushed Yale
back to her ten yard line After that
Yale braced up and the goal was never in
danger during the second half.

those of four women and one IL year old

The whole village and neighborhood are
alive with excitement and knots of men
linger about talking with the rescued
members of the crew.
1t Is exceedingly difficult to trace the
events of the disaster, but SO far as can
