Washington, Nov. 1.-The board of naval construction to-day agreed upon report recommending that the navy department award the contracts for constructing the six new protected cruisers authorized by congress to the following concerns: Union Iron Works of St. Francisco; Lewis Nixon of the Crescent Shipbuilding Works Eliza bethport, N. J.; the Bath Iron Works of Bath, Me; the Trigg Shipbuilding company of Richmond, Va; the Fore River company of Massachusetts, and Neafie & Levy of Philadelphia. The recommendation will be made in a re- port to be submitted to Acting Secre- tary Allen by Admiral O'Neill, president of the construction board, and the awards are not final until the board findings are approved by the secretary. The lowest bidders did not receive the preference in all cases, and it is to be presumed that the board was informed in its selection by considerations of mer- itorious design and unquestionable abil- ity of the concerns to perform the work they will be called upon to undertake.

PROB1BLE LINEUP.
Hrrvard's About Certain hut YnIe's ts
 StiII i'm Doubt.

1 Cambridge Mass, Nov 17.-Twenty minutes of light signal practice by liar yard to-day was considered enough to keep the team from getting stale and in a condition to meet Yale tomorrow
 The only surprise is that Boal will be unable to play. A. R. Sargent, how ever, has been playing a fierce aggres- sive game and will not let the team suf fer much by the absence of Boal. The strength of their unbroken defense. They think only chance tumble can allow Yale to score. Harvard's policy will be a hard rushing game attacking the new men in the Yale line. Yale will have a great advantage in the bunting of Captain McBride, who will undoubtedly play a kicking game as long as he can force Harvard to punt. With any wind at his back he will be able to outpunt Hallowell by many yards. Unless Daily can elude the Yale end and rush the ball back ten or fifteen yards each time, Harvard will be forced steadily back. Little faith is placed in the Yale stories about their weak ends. Experience has always proved that Harvard interference is of 1little value in these big games. Harvard will de- pend largely upon the superb physical condition of the players. Although the Yale management refused to give out the lineup tonight. it is probable the teams that will meet on Soldiers field tomorrow will be made up as follows:

4 RESIGNATION AT HARTARD.
Mrs. Agnssiz Rctires as President of
 Radcliffe CoIlrgr,

Cambridge, Mass. Nov. 17.--Professor Charles Eliot Norton of Harvard uni | versity to-day confirmed a report that
 Mrs. Elizabeth Cary Asassiz, president of Radcliffe college, had resigned. Pro- lessor Norton gave out the following statement Mrs. Agassiz recently re-
 signed from the presidency of Radcliffe college, which position she has held from the beginning of the institution. The resignation was sent to the associ- ates some weeks since, and though they feel the deepest regret that Mrs. Agassiz
 should find it necessary to leave the place which she has so long filled to the complete satisfaction of every friend of the college, yet they felt that her decis- ion ought to be respected. but requested her to accept the position of honorary president, free from responsibility to any duties, but maintaining her close relations with the officers and students of the college, This she has consented to do and her resignation from the ac- tive duties will make no difference in the regular order of affairs at the col lege."

of which the following is the purport:
 " The officer commanding the troops at Estcourt reports at midday that an armored train left Estcourt this morn- ing with company of the Dublin Fusi- Hers and a company of the Durban volunteers. North of Frere they en- countered a party of Boers and began to withdraw. While retiring, some of the trucks were derailed. The Dublins turned out and advanced towards the enemy, while the rest of the train ap- pears to have returned without them to Estcourt.
 The officer commanding the troops reports that he was sending mounted troops in order to cover their with drawal but that about one hundred are missing"

KAISER,S VISIT TO ENGLAND.
Members of His Family Arrive at Klel-
 An Address.

Kiel, Prussia, Nov. T.-Emperor Will liam, the empress and the younger princes arrived here this afternoon on their way to England and were received at the railway station by the elder princes. Empress Augusta Victoria with the younger sons immediately went on board the Imperial yacht Ho- henzollern and the emperor, accompa nied by the two elder, attended a muster of naval recruits. The kaiser, in the course of an address, alluding to the fact that Germany, decade ago. had lost many brave sailors and excellent officers on the Samoan coast, said This land, however, is now ours and will remain ours as long as there is German empire. The German eagle is gradually spreading itself and increasing the fleet destined to protect our brothers abroad" Admiral Won Rooster, replying to his majesty in the name of the Baltic naval station, de- clared that all were ready, at any time, to do their duty for the honor of the flag, even to the last drop of their blood

I'll F MOLINEUX TRIAL.
An Accepted Juryman Taken Iil-His
 Seat Declared Vacant.

New York, Nov. 1.-The trial of Ro. land B. Molineux was interrupted to- day by the sudden illness of one of the jurors, Daniel Fraad, who was the thirt man accepted. Fraad was assisted from the court and Dr. O'Hanlon hast. fly summoned MT. Fraad was founc to be suffering from acute indigestion and was taken home in a cab. On pr O'Hanlon's report that the jurors ill ness was serious Recorder Golf declar- ed MT. Fraad's seat in the jury box vacant. This was the fourth day of Molineux's trial and thus far over 10C taleemen have been examined. Not counting the selection and the dismiss sal on account of illness of Juror F'raad, the net results of to-day's trial was the selection of two jurors as fol- lows:
 Herbert Gordon Thomson, iron manu- facturer.
 Abraham Altmeyer a retired real es- tate dealer.
 It is interesting to note the ingenious pleas made to escape jury duty One man wanted to be excused because he had baby ten days old, and it was necessary for him to remain at home and help his wife in the care of the in- fant. Recorder Golf declined to let the man escape upon this plea, but he got away on the ground that he did not approve of capital punishment and cir cumstantial evidence. J. Lee Tail CT, a brother of T.. Suffern Taller, de- veloped conscientious seruples against capital punishment The Tailers are members of the Four Hundred Young Taller admitted that he had never giv- en the subject of capital punishment serious consideration until he was call ed for jury duty. Recorder Golf was especially severe upon society men who declined to comply with all the duties of citizenship. He dismissed young Taller, saying that he "did not wish to put the badge of disgrace on any man although he might deserve it." in response to an inquiry from At torney Osborne as to whether MT. Tail CT was released upon the grounds of general disability.
 Not counting Juror Fraad, who was dismissed on account of sickness, two of the persons summoned failed to comply with the proper requirements, four developed conscientious scruples against circumstantial evidence, eight were opposed to capital punishment. four were not possessed of the requisite knowledge of the English language, or a general fund of information and two were acquainted with Attorney Weeks, the lawyer for the defense.

Egan's cab and horse Wonder were in charge of William Fitzgerald. The horse cut across the ring and struck the opposite side. There he reared and the whole outfit capsized. Fitzgerald was thrown off and was hurt, how badly it could not be learned before he was taken away, but it was thought that his collar bone had been broken. The usual jumping class end- ed the show for the night The horse show was saddened tonight by the news of the death of Colonel J. Law renee Kip, who had for many years been patron and an enthusiastic ex- hibitor in these events. Colonel Kip s entries were all withdrawn to-day he being at the point of death The with drawal leaves no pairs eligible for the champion roadster class, which was to be judged tomorrow and leaves the winner of the class of roadsters and rigs, singles, the only entry for the sin gle roadster championship.

DWIGHT L. MOODY STRICKEN
NOTED ETANGELIST TAKEN IEL IN
 KANSAS CITY.
End Ills Work There-Hts Condition Admitted to be serlous-Leavcs the City In R Special Car for His Home at Northfie1d, Mass.

Kansas City, Mo-, Nov. 17.-Dwight L. Moody, the evangelist, who has been preaching here to thousands nightly in Convention hall, was stricken with heart trouble to-day. His engagement here was cut short and tonight he is en route for his home at Northfield Mass, in the care of Dr. Schauffter of this city and c. H. Vining, teller of the Union National bank.
 They are travelling in a special car provided by the committee of church. men who brought MT Moody to Kan sas City and are going over the Wa bash by way of Chicago and Buffalo. It is admitted that MT. Moody's con dition is serious, though when the evan gelist was seen at his hotel shortly be- fore being taken to the railway he ex- pressed the belief that his condition was not serious. He stated that he was feeling very weak and added: II have had trouble with my heart for good many years but I never felt as weak as do now. There is nothing alarm ing about my condition, l believe"
 Since last Sunday night the eyan- gelist has been preaching in ConVen- tion hall where the audience on eever- al occasions has numbered close to l5 G00 Several times he has spoken with difficulty and has been compelled at times to sit up all night, as he could not breath while lying down. To-day he was too ill to go to the hall and a large audience which had gathered was turned away.
 Later.-The reports as to the serious ness of Mir Moody's condition are con- ficting. Several intimate friends stated tonight that, while his condition was serious, it was not critical. These friends, however, reluctantly admitted that they believed his career as a public speaker was nearing the end. pr. Schauffter said that in his opinion the evangelist's condition was not essential ly worse than for some time past, and that he was simply exhausted from his recent ,exertions before the big crowds that have gathered to hear him. Dr. Schauffter added, however, that MT, Moody must have quiet and rest.
