HARVARO'S LINEUP.
1t viii Be the Same as in the Game With
Pennsylvania.

Meriden, Conn, Nov. 1S.-By 10
o'clock tonight the Harvard foot ball
players were bundled off to bed to
dreams of tomorrows great contest
and victory They are all fit and ready,
in the pink of condition and eager for
the fray. They are not boastful or
confident, but still they all expect
to win. They realize that it will take
all the strength and skill they can sum
mon to defeat Yale in her own baili-
wick. Charlie DAILY, the little quarter
back. said tonight: Wen win be-
cause we've got to win" and that ex-
presses the sentiment of the whole
even from Captain Dibblee down. Head
Coach Forbes said: 1T will take the
hardest kind of foot ball to win tomor-
row." but he, too, expects victory.
The Harvard players at o'clock put
on their foot ball togs and went out to
Hanover field for light practice. Some
200 natives We're on hand to give ad-
vice and watch the work, which con
sisted simply in punting, catching
kicks and running through the signals.
The practice lasted a short hour.
There win be no changes in Har-
wards lineup from that which played
in the Pennsylvania game, though Far
ley and Lawrence are expected to re-
place Cochrane and Warren. respec-
lively, before the game has progressed
far. Harvard will abandon all at
tempts to gain on end plays if Yale's
tackles prove too fast, and confine hel
attack to the centre plunging of Boal
Dibblee, Reid and Warren. Warren
will be used largely at the start OF
the game for line bucking and will
give way to Lawrence at the first sign
of exhaustion

FINANCE AND TRADE
Obvious Liquidation in Northern
Pacific Causes Weakness.
There is Apprehension of Weak Show
ing in Today's Bank Statement.

New York, Nov. 1S.-There were weak
points in the stock market at the start
this morning, but apprehension of a
weak showing in tomorrow's bank
statement turned the whole list towards
the side of reaction in the late dealings.
The level of prices was in most cases
carried sharply below last night
and net gains remaining We're
very much reduced from the extreme
advances of the day. The most inhuen-
tial factor in causing weakness was the
obvious liquidation going on in Nor
thern Pacific, which is attributed to one
of the leading financial interests in the
property. The absorption of the stock
was attributed to the leading contend
ing interests in the property. This pro-
cess of transference is significant of the
discord said to exist in the property.
Rumors are current also of the break
ing up Of agreements which have been
so favorable a factor in the northwest
ern railroad world The effect was man
ifest not only in Northern Pacific but in
Union Pacific and other railroads in the
region affected.
Delaware and Hudson was raided
mors of dividend reduction This is the
lowest for several years and is an ac-
curate reflection of the decline in the
anthracite trade, other stocks affected
by that trade falling in sympathy. Not
Withstanding these elements of weak
ness the market showed recuperatiVe
power, the buying of Peoples Gas par
ticularly being a sustaining factor. This
stock rose an extreme IA Burlington
recovered a half of its quarterly divi-
dend before the late relapse in the
grangers. Denver and Rio Grande pre-
ferred also showed continued strength
There We're conspicuous advances in
a number of the trunk lines including
Baltimore and Ohio and there was a
late movement in Brooklyn Transit
Chicago and Eastern Illinois and a
group Of Southwestern railroads. The
passing of the Chicago and Alton story
resulted in losses of to 3 points in
Kansas City, Pittsburg and Gulf, Chi
cago and Alton and Lake Erie and
Western preferred.
The expectation of the unfavorable
bank statement is based on the known
activity of the week in the money mar
ket which must have largely increased
the reserve requirements by expansion
of loans There is nothing in the cur
rency movement to the interior or in
sub-treasury operations to indicate a
large increase in cash to meet the re-
quirement so that a further decrease
in surplus is looked for The local
money market, however, continued
easy today.

McBrides absence, cannot punt, He
can, however, handle punts to perfec
ton.
In the popular mind, the weak spot
on the Harvard team lies at the ends.
Just how much the coaches have been
able to brace up the men that play
these positions, cannot be told accu-
rately until the game is over But
there was room for lots of improvement
at last accounts, and if a Yale man is
seen dashing down the field this after

because he has successfully evaded an
ender and not because he gained pos

scrimmage and a tumble. If Harvard s

team, Yale might as well admit defeat
first as last-but admitting defeat is
not in the category of any Yale athletic

WAR ECHOES.

Tennyson's lines on the service which
women have always rendered in times of
war have new ring to them now. They
read: - II
Thy voice is heard thro' rolling drums
That beat to battle where he stands.
Thy face across his fancy comes.
And gives the battle to his hands:
A moment, while the trumpets blow
He sees his brood. about thy knee:
The next, like fire, he meets the foe
And strikes him dead for thine and thee.

What Is a Blockade ?

When a state Of war exists between
nations having seaports the clear pol
icy is to close the ports of the enemy
so as to prevent the receipt of NUM-
tons and food, and thus embarass and
cripple him. But as commerce is in
ternational and the vessels of neutral
nations engage in it, International law
requires certain formalities and condi-
lions. The chief executive of the ma
ton establishing blockade must make
proclamation Of the fact and communi
cate it to the governments Of other ma
tons, so that their merchantmen may
be warned of the danger of attempting
to enter the blockaded port. The usage
Of nations as well as the stipulations
of treaties provide that vessels destin-
ed to the closed port which have had
no notice of the blockade shall not be
subject to seizure, but shall be warned
not to enter If, after such actual no.
tice, a vessel should attempt to enter,
she is liable to capture and condemna-
ton.
1t is incumbent on the nation estab-
fishing a blockade to make it effective;
that is, it must keep the port so close
prevent any vessel running the block
ade. These take positions before the
port, keeping constantly under motion,
patrolling their beats as a policeman
does his-but never going to sleep
keeping men on watch all the time and,
nowadays, sweeping the sea at night
with search lights. 1t is incumbent on
them to be ceaSelessly vigilant, for any
vessel of a neutral or belligerent has
the right to try to run the blockade,
taking all the risks attending the eff
fort. These include being chased, shot
at, destroyed or captured and confiscat-
ed. If taken in the act, a prize crew
is put aboard by the captor, and the
vessel is sent to some port, where an
admiralty court adjudicates the legal
ity of the capture and DEGREES a sale
of the vessel and cargo and the distrl-
button of the proceeds, known as prize
money, among the captOrs The bust
ness of blockade running is very
profitable one, the closing of the port
increasing largely the prices of food
and other supplies and making the
margin of profit for a successful run
very great. During the Civil war a
single trip often gave the lucky own
ers substantial fortune. The risk and
gain act as an Indictment to the ad-
Venturous to engage in the undertake
ing, and we may expect that FREQUENT
efforts will be made to run by the YES
sells that are trying to shut up Havana,
Matanzas, Cienfuegos and other Cuban
ports.

Colonel, Captain or What?

Recently there was a gentleman ask
ing the ballots of the voters of St.
Paul who was styled Col" A r. Kie-
Ter. Prior to that submission of his
claim and merits to plebiscite the same
gentleman with the same military title
had appeared as a candidate for repre-
sentative in congress. During his in
cunlbency of that Office his private sec
rotary, rather his and Col" Fletcher's
joint secretary, and also special cor
respondent, by an economical arrange
ment, for an evening organ, kept the
public very we'll, in fact superfluously
we'll Informed as to the goings in and
out, the doings and speechifying and
other movements of the always Col"
Kiefer. Tuesday evening the LOYAL
Legion met and we read in the MARIA
tive of it's proceedings that Capt" A.
X. kfefer was a companion present,
and that later Mayor-Elect Kiefer made
a speech in, which he congratulated
the order on the honor Of having a
companion made mayor Of st. Paul.
Now the question arises-and we hope
its Importance will not be overlooked
are Col. Kiefer and Capt Kiefer and
Individual? If so was the Loyal Legion
d!srespectful to the colonel and MAYOR
elect in styling him just a plain, SIM
pie captain Of the line, instead of one
of the field officers? Or if the LOYAL
Legion knows what it is about when
1T comes to the matter of titles, can
it be that there never was Col"
kiefer and that he was always Just
a common captain? And if this is so,
If it has been another case of strut in
borrowed plumes, how comes it that
there has never been any modest dis
avowal of claim to the unearned title
of colonel? Who so dubbed him? And
did he accept and wear it because he
profoundly believed that If he did not
gain that rank it was because merit
went unrecognized and that he should
have been at least a colonel with
couple of brevets? Before the question
lapses into forgetfulness will the anti
quarian of the Historical society as
certain the facts and record them for
the benefit of posterity and it's historian
Of the mayoralty contest of 1898?
