RICHMOND, Ind, Nov. 25.-Earlham's
football team administered a crushing de-
feat to De Paw University to-day. shutting
her out by a score of 80 to 0. The visitors
were not able TO compete in any respect,
and end runs and good advances were COM

De Pauw had the ball Earlham held her
down in good shape. AT the end of the first
half the score was % to o in Earlham's IA
vor, and sixteen more points were added
in tie second half. Chapman, Peacock and
Graves put up an especially good game for
Earlham. The visitors were confident of
winning, and the overwhelming defeat made
them very blue. The college Is very enthu-
siastic over the victory, ana feels that some
old scores along debate and athletic lines
have been evened up. Earlham will close
the season Thanksgiving day with Rose

Mexican Government Will Not Yield
an Alleged Murderer.

EAGLE PASS, Tex, Nov. 25.-Ambassa-
cor Clayton telegraphs from the City of
Mexico TO this CMaverick) county that the
Mexican government refuses extradition OF
Leonardo Gonzales. a Mexican citizen &C
cused Of the rape and murder OF an Ameri-
can woman at Sanders, on the Texas side,
some months ago, on the ground OF insufh-
cient evidence. The case has engrossed con-
siderable attention as being one of the first
to arise under the new extradition treaty
and has caused several communications be-
tween the Governors of the States OF Texas
and Coahuila in the first instance, and later
between Secretary OF State Hay at Wash
ington and the Mexican Foreign Office,
through Ambassador Clayton. The accused
has meanwhile been held in custody by the
Mexican authorities.
The case is similar in many respects to
that of Mrs. Rich, an American citizen, who
was surrendered by Texas and the United
States TO Mexico on the charge OF the MUIR
der OF her husband, though the evidence was
wholly circumstantial.

CHANGES ON THE c. & N. w.
whitman Becomes Fourth Vice Pres
ident and Gardner General Manager.

CHICAGO, Nov. 25.-Two important pro-
motions were announced to-day by Pres
ident Marvin Hughitt, of the Chicago &c
Northwestern Railroad. John NJ. Whitman,
present general manager, is appointed to
the position of fourth vice president, a new
ly-created office. A. Gardner, assistant
general superintendent, is appointed to the
position left vacant by Mr.. Whitman. The
latter will have general charge of con-
struction of the proprietary roads and
branch lines and general improvements of
the property of the entire system.
Mr.. Whitman has been connected with
the Northwestern company for upwards Of
twenty years, holding the position of gen.
eral manager since 1887.
Mr.. Gardner entered the railway service
as telegraph operator in 1873, when he was
but fourteen years of age. His first service
with the Chicago q northwestern Railway
was in 1878, since which time he has been
continuously connected with that company
in the capacity of train dispatcher, train
master, assistant superinl endent, division
superintendent and assistant general SUI
perintendent, with the exception or a pc
riod of two years, when he was connected
with the Atchison, Topeka & Santa Fee
Railway as trainmaster.
This change places the operating depart
ment of the road in charge of Mr.. Gardner,
the traffic department remaining in charge
of II. r. Mccullough, third vice president
and general traffic manager, and it is
something of a coincidence that in 1874 Mr..
Mccullough was employed in the local
freight office of the Illinois Central Rail-
road as a way-bill clerk while Mr.. Gardner
was in the employ OF the company as tele-
graph operator. 1t is believed that Mr..
Mccullough and Mr.. Gardner are two Of
the youngest men in the country holding
positions of such responsibility as those
they now occupy. LIE prediction is made
that the entire manaQ cement of the great
Northwestern system will ultimately fall
mon their SIuA.lerS.

STREET-CAR STRIKE ENDED.
BeIIeville and East st. Louis Lines
Resume Operations To-Day.

ST. LOUIS, Nov. 25.-A settlement of the
Belleville street-railway strike, which had
been in progress since last Sunday, was
reached at IL o'clock tonight. The basis
of agreement decided upon was as follows:
The five conductors who were discharged
last Saturday night are to be reinstated.
All the striking motormen and conductors
are to be taken back. All nonunion en-
ployes of the road are to be retained. The
boycott on the three lines, the Belleville,
Day and Suburban-the two latter running
to East st. Louis-is TO be lifted.
These terms leave matters practically
where they were at the beginning of the
trouble and are regarded as a victory for
the strikers. President Day declined 10
make a statement tonight, except TO say
that the trouble was at an end and that
the cars would begin running as usual to-
morrow morning. The men will receive the
same wages as before the strike.

PORT TOWNSEND, Sept. 16.-Love of
the sea and a desire for a life on the
ocean wave induced Miss Kate Ross. aged

lard Wash to run away from home.
Last evening Miss Ross left her home,
announcing that she was going for a row
on the bay according to her custom. In
stead of returning at the usual hour she
continued her journey down the Sound in
her frail craft until she reached the en-
trance to Fuca Straits, distance of forty
miles, where a heavy swell was running.
Her courage failed her and she hailed a
passing steamer and she and her boat
She then boarded a steamer for Victoria,
arriving here this morning. Being recog-
nized on the passage from Seattle, the
Chief of Police was notified and she was
brought ashore and her relatives informed
of her whereabouts.
Owing to her social standing, when she
disappeared great excitement prevailed in
Ballard. and searching, parties started
out both by land and water and the
search was continued for four days, and
she was given up as having been drowned
The only explanation she would give of
her strange conduct was that she wanted
to become a sailor. stating that she had
a fascination for the sea. While in charge
of the Chief of Police here she begged
most piteously not to be sent to her home
