CAMBRIDGE, Mass, Nov. 18.-In q
whirlwind of excitement, simply heart
breaking in its intensity, the Harvard
Yale game on Soldiers field this after
noon ended without a score. Yale had
played Harvard to a standstill; then
Harvard had rallied to one of the grand
est finishes ever seen on the gridiron,
and, after a missed try at goal, the i'm
mense crowd of people swarmed down
from the seats to where the players were
cheering their opponents. The famous
football game on the same field in 1891
had been repeated, and Yale, by her su-
perb defense, had held the much-boasted
Harvard attack.
The contest was a brilliant one from
start to finish, and from the blowing OF
the first whistle to the sounding Of th(
last the result was in doubt
The end of the game furnished the most
thrilling climax of the afternoons sport,
when, after rushing the ball to Yale's
twenty-five yard line by steady plays,
and with thirty seconds of the playing
time left, Hallowell the Harvard end,
brought the enormous crowd to its feet
when he dropped back Of the line for a
drop kick for goal. The two lines
crouched, the Yale men preparing to tear
through, If possible and prevent this
last chance for Harvard's score. Quar-
terback DAILY called out the signal, the
lines bent lower and HaHowen was
ready for the final effort. Not sound
was heard as the ball was put into place,
with the opposing rushers crashing to-
gether at the same moment. Daily made
a clean pass and Hallowen kicked. 1t
was neat attempt, but the pigskin
sailed just outside the goal posts. In
deed, the goal was so narrowly missed
that the Harvard followers went wild in
their belief that the five points had been
scored. A few seconds later the Yale
men were thrown into paroxysms of de-
light when it became known that it was
mo goal.

Mrs. Melvlle's sister Cora is visiting in
Chicago during the holiday season, and
Mr.. Melville wishes that she had not

This Cora Is 10 and just passing through

She has the accomplishments Of the up

has brought trouble into the Melville

Madrid, Jan. 23.-Accordlng to dis

the release of the Spanish civil prisoners
and will shortly hberate the military pris-

The premier, Senior sagasta, declares
that Aguinaldo has made the liberation Of
the Spanish prisoners in the Philippine
Islands conditional upon Spain recogniz-
ing the Philippine republic and allying
herself thereto.
Aguinaldo it is added, has similarly de-
manded the vaticans recognition of the
Philippine republic A private dispatch
from Manila says:
The time in which the insurgents have
allowed the Americans to recognize their
independence expires tomorrow and hos
tilities are expected to reopen.

ALGER HAS HEARD NOTHING.
But Spain Could Not Afford to Join
Philippine Insurgents.

Washington, Jan. 23.-seeretary Alger
this afternoon said that while he would
be pleased to hear that the Filipinos had
liberated the Spanish prisoners held by
them. he had no official information to
confirm this statement to that effect com
ing from Madrid.
1t is not to be supposed for moment
that the Spanish government, no matter

the prisoners more speedily than could be
accomplished through the effort of the
United States government, viii enter In

active hostilities are suspended, and any
conduct on the part of the Spanish govern
rnent that would tend to increase the diff
culties Of the United States in dealing with
the insurgents would have to be reckoned
for.
The officials here are not moved by the
renorted threat of Filipino Junta in Eu-

clio has been well treated Informally,

No"

When Mr.. Melville returned home that

but he was too old to pick up a new speech
In hurry, and Cora and Ruth laughed
at his slow and uncertain efforts. It Is
humliating TO have your own child shame
your efforts and say things about there
a language which you fail to understand.
So Mr. Melville decreed that there should
be no more Vassar Latin spoken at the
table, but his wife overruled him, because
she said 1t was good memory test and
great fun besides.
The consequence is that Mr.. Melville,
ordinarily a serious man, is studying Vas
sar Latin each day In order to keep I'd
with the talk at dinner, and not appear
too stupid. But he has no love for the
task, and, as we said at the beginning, he
is sorry that the wife's sister ever came

Into violent Spasms.

Atlanta, Jan. 23.-John Hampton, book
l,eener for the Pintsch Gas Company, was
knocked senseless by escaping gas while
experimenting the repair of a gas pipe
this afternoon.
1t was thought he would die for a
while. The gas pipe on which Hampton
was working runs from the plant Of the
Pintsch Gas Company. on Mitchell street
to the Union depot. and supplies passenger
coaches with lights. The pipe was dis
iointed Just below the Forsyth street
bridge at two places and Hampton was in
specting it, when a volume of gas es-
caped and knocked him senseless. When
he recovered consciousness he was able
10 walk about a hundred yards toward
his office, then he was attacked by VIC
lent pains in his stomach. He fell TO che
ground, undergoing a CONFUSION ana
foaming at the mouth. A crowd quickly
gathered, and it required four men to
hold him while the pain was upon him.
The doctors who were called said Hamp-
ton was asphyxia ted by the gas that shot
out of the pipe. and he would have died
