News Store BurgInrixrd.

The news store of T. F. Maher on Meadow street, near Water street, was entered by burglars at an early hour this morning, but they were scared away before they had time to gather up much plunder. Shortly after midnight Supernumerary Policeman Salies, who was patrolling that beat, found the front door of the store open. He noti- fled the proprietor and the latter upon making an investigation found that six ty cents in change had been taken from the cash drawer while a bundle of goods, evidently fixed preparatory to carrying them away, was lying on the floor It is thought that the burglars were alarmed in some way and left in d bury. No arrests had been made at 2 o'clock this morning.

ARRIVAL OF YALE TEAM
THEIR HEADQUARTERS IN BOSTON
 RE1CHED EARLY LAST NIGHT.
Advance--No Risk to be Run With That of Boston Players TalSo a Short StrOll-To Rehearse Signals Early This Morning Probable Line-Ups.

| Boston, Nov. IF CYale Headquarters) It is all Yale at Hotel Vendome to-
 night and the blue to win over the
 crimson in to-morrow's great game on
 the Harvard gridiron. The Yale team reached the hotel just about o'clock
 after four-hour run up from New Ha- ven. At the Back Bay station vehicles were in waiting and the squad of twen- ty-eight players, with half dozen
 coachers, were immediately brought
 here. With no loss of time the players
 were seated at a special table for din-
 ner, the menu of which was in accord
 with the college training table.
 To prevent any pranks by Boston's supply the water served was that sent
 up ahead of the squad from New Ha- ven. The meal over, the players were sent out for short stroll in the open air to freshen them up a bit. But Trainer Robinson made their outdoor stretch a short one. As the players came back into the hotel they found 1t alive with Yale men, undergraduates who had preceded the team and alumni of Boston and other places. Every one had a tinge of the old-fashioned Yale enthusiasm, and the boys were given a rousing reception. Among the profni- nent alumni was Judge Henry Rowland of New York, the most famous ''rooter" for years, despite the fact that passing years have left their mark upon him.
 Wal Camp, James o. Rodgers, Frank Hin key, Billy" Bull and Bum" McClung The coachers are unanimous in their opinion that the physical condition of the men Is wellnigh perfect. Trainer Robinson says his men could not be more fit, while a glance at the team gives the impression that the men are particularly fine,
 Tomorrow on a special will come ad- ditional players, so that the squad will then number about fifty. As to the prospect for the game. the players and coachers are content with saying that Harvard will know that she has been playing football when the game is end ed The Yale contingent, however, are more jubilant than the early form of the team would warrant. Most of them say Yale will surely win; the conserva- tive ones hint at such a result, while none is willing to admit the chance of defeat.
 Tomorrow the men will rise early, breakfast at r have a rehearsal of sig- nals later. and at 11:30 participate in a light lunch just previous to leaving for the battlefield. In preparation for the contest Trainer Robinson had every man turn in by 10 o'clock tonight. The Yale crowd filled the hotel corridors un- til late hour, and it was Yale talk all the time.

RELIEF NEARING KIMBERLEY
GEN. LORD METHUEN ARRIVES AT
 ORANGE RIVER.
About Seventy-five Miles from the Be- leagured TOwM-Free State Guns and Ammunition Captured-BritishN Now Ready to Advance for the Relief of Ladysmith The Town Under an Aw- full Rom bn rd
full mbRrdme ent.

London, Nov. 1.-The most important despatches of the day on the war situa- tion arrived late tonight. The one dated Orange River Cape Colony, No- vember 12, is decidedly significant as showing that General Lord Methuen with his staff have already reached the Orange river on the way to the relief of Kimberley. It also shows that Gen. eral Butler has been even more active than at first supposed in sending a column to the beleagured town. There is no reason whatever to doubt the ac- curacy of the report of General Meth uen's arrival at the foregoing point os it is further borne out by a dss- patch from Colesburg of successful op- erations of the British troops in that vi- cinity. Orange River, which is small town on the Orange river, is but about seventy-five miles from Kimberley, and as General Methuen was at that point on November 12, according to the des- patch, news of his arrival at Kimberley is expected here any hour.
 The despatches concerning Ladysmith indicate that the town Is hard pressed, but that to offset this it is stated that the reinforcemnts are now ready to move from Durban. The next week, it is confidently felt, will mark the turn ing point for the British and important engagements are expected
