AFTERNOON SESSION.

The afternoon session hour found the
young women hurrying to the church
in gossamers with umbrellas, for the
rain was pouring down. But Young
Women's Christian association dele
gates are not easily discouraged, AMI
SO the attendance was good. Mrs.
Gates, state chairman, gave her re-
I>port. This was followed by the report
OF Treasurer Mrs. H. ]. Carr, OF Scran-
ton, which was, as usual, very full and
complete and accurate.
After the treasurer's report came an
address by Mrs. w. T. Smith, sta'e
chairman, of New York on the lela-
tion of the local association to the state
committee. Mrs. Smith has a charm
ing personality and completely won the
audience. She spoke of the relation Of
the individual association to the gem
eral organization as that of the chill
to the mother. At the close OF the af-
ternoon session a reception was given
at the association building on Third
street. 1t is an ld-fashioned home, re-
minding one of Mt. Vernon with It's
big columns in front and it's quaint in
terror 1t is fitted up in cosy. home
like way. Besides the meeting room,
office, library, reception room and din
ing room, there are five rooms upstairs
where ten girls can be accommodated
who are employed in the city. The gen.
| eral secretary, Miss Slower, also has
rooms in the building. The house is
surrounded by large yard, contain
ing a rose garden which has a mass OF
bloom all summer.

for big losses.
Following a sensational S5-yard run
by Stanton the ball was given to Case,
who was showed over from the yard
and a half line for touchdown. Mat

angle failed. Honors were more evenly
distributed in the second half, but
throughout the game Matthewson out
punted Cure, gaining from 5 to 20
yards on nearly every exchange.

LONDON, Dec. 3O.-A large
German mail steamer, whose name
has not been ascertained, has gone
aground during terrific gale in

off Dungeness, the southern ex-
tremity of Kent. Heavy seas are

be very serious. Tugs and life
boats were urgently requisitioned
from Dover and Folkstone, but
they had the utmost difficulty in
getting off owing to the gale. The
signals of distress were observed
from the Sandhead lightship.

The Kentucky Senatorship.

FRANKFORT, ky, Dec. 29.-Although
three days elapse before the assembling Of
the Legislature the State capital is already
filled up with legislative and political
leaders, approximating the crowd usually
here on the opening day. Though some Of
the anti-Goebel leaders are fighting hard
to bring their forces against Blackburn
as well as against Goebel, the anti-Black-
burn movement does not appear to be
strong, and unless Is can gather strength
by means of the tangle over the State
contests, Blackburn will win for United
ease his managers have been claiming for
him. So far only two anti-Goebel Democrats
have declared themselves positively as
anti-Blackburn, though it is claimed there
are others who are not outspoken. The
anti-Goebel leaders are not doing much
talking regarding their plans of procedure,
but they are making some strong claims
regarding their strength on the matter
of the contests. They assert with con-
f1dence that they have a majority Of one
in the Senate on the contests and that in
both houses there are several members
who, though they may vote to seat Goebel
and Beckham, will not vote to unseat any of
the Republican legislators elected, against
whom contests are pending. This probably
refers 20 several Populist members elected

DUTY OF REPUBLICANS.


Trusts Need Curbfng.
SPRINGFIELD, ILL.,, Dec 2s.-Charles G.
Dawes, controller Of the currency, made
speech at the Republican state love feast.
in the Assembly Hail. to-day, which
aroused the greatest enthusiasm and was
regarded by many outlining the policy
of the administration on two points-the
Philippine policy and the attitude of the
Republican party toward trusts. After
comparing the conditions prevailing in 1896
and the present, Mr.. Dawes asserted that,
as the Republican party had proved itself
able to cope with adverse conditions, 1t
would be able to continue in prosperity.
Speaking on trusts, Mr.. Dawes said it
was the duty of the Republican party to
take hold OF the subject energetically and
without wavering. 1t was its duty to con-
serve public interests. Wherever trusts
proved themselves inimical TO the public
veal they must be restrained and con-
trolled, and, If necessary, laws should be
passed that would so much encourage
active competition TO bring about the
disintegration of the trusts Mr.. Dawes did
not claim all trusts were in restraint of
trade, but those that proved themselves TO
be such should be leeislated against
Rather than leave in the hands of any cor
poration the power to absolutely fix the
price of necessity of life at an arbitrary
figure, the people of the United States will
eventually and rightfully do one of two
things" continued Mr.. Dawes. 'They will
enact legislation for the absolute protec-
ton Of the people from extortion by gov
ernmental regulation more or less extended
as public necessities may require, or they
will enact legislation for the enforced Gre
alton of competition by the disintegration
of trusts. With nothing less than these two
things will, or should, the people of this
country be satisfied. The question Of the
proper legislative treatment of these great
combinations, formed for the purpose Of
monopolistic control Of production and the
distribution Of some of the necessities and
comforts Of life, is one of the greatest and
most practical which ever confronted the
political parties of the Nation, and our
party must take the first steps in its solu-
tion.'
Mr.. Dawes spoke at some length on the
Philippine situation, asserting that en-
| couragement received from anti-imperial-
lists had much to do with the prolongation
of the war. He said that as President Nc
Kinley had refused to be hurried by the
clamor of jingoes before the Spanish war.
so now would he refuse to be turned from
his course in regard to the Philippines by
| the protests of the anti-imperialists.

several new contentious on the law of con-
traband. Thus far the discussion. has
turned on the point that the consignors
were Americans residing in Philadelphia.
But II Is contended in some official quar-
ters that the first question in the case is
as to the consignee, not the consgnor. Ac-
cording to this view, the original shipment
might have been in good faith, but so long
as the consignment was likely to pass into
the hands of the Beers it was subject to
the rules governing the contraband Of
war, and il could be seized. 1t is expected,
therefore, that when the inquiry is prose-
cuted by Ambassador Choate at London
and Consul Hollis at Pretoria, they will
have before them not only the facts as to
the original consignment but also all of the
evidence relating to the bona fides Of the
consignees in having no connection with
the Beers.
The report that the Boer authorities
have decided to reduce the rations of the
British prisoners at Pretoria in case Great
Britain stops the entry of food supplies
at Delagoa bay Is not borne out by the
official communications OF United States
Consul Hollis at Pretoria. By direction of
the State Department, Mr.. Hollis is look
ing after British interests and in particu-
lar in seeing that the British prisoners
are afforded every proper facility and per-
sonal attention. His reports have been
very full concerning the care of the pris-
oners and such attending circumstances
as were warranted. These, however, give
no intimation that the rations of prisoners
are TO be reduced. but, on the contrary,
the entire tenor of the official report goes
to show that there need be no apprehen-
sion that such a threat will be put into
effect.

CANNOT IDENTIFY STEAMER.
Agents at New York Unable to Say
What Vessel IL Ashore.


What Vessel IL Ashore.
NEW YORK, Dec. Determination of
the sailing schedules and the maritime
register show no vessels of either the Ham
burg-American or North German Lloyd
lines near Dungeness. 1t is almost impossi-
BILE to conceive how a steamer of either
line could have been near the spot indi-
Gated in the cables unless the departure
of vessel from Hamburg or Bremen was
variation from the advertised sailings
Gable dispatches for four days back do
not reveal that any liner of the two COM
panies has sailed from Hamburg or Bre-
men outward bound.
The Hamburg-American lines, four ex-
press steamers. are accounted for in the
marine lists as follows: Augusta Victoria
in the Mediterranean service, Columbia
at Hoboken, Fuerst Bismarck at Hoboken,
Kaiser Friedrich at Hamburg on Dec 10,
on which date she had arrived from New
York.
The quartet of twin screw passenger and
cargo ships of the same line are thus dis
posed of: Pennsylvania. sailed from Ham
burg on Dec. is, and passed the Lizard on
Dec. 20; Pretoria, arrived at Hamburg on
Dec. % from this port; the Graf waldersee
is scheduled to sail from New York to-
day and the Patricia is now at sea, having
left this port Dec. % for Hamburg.
Of the North German Lloyd liners the big
Kaiser Wilhelm der Crosse is here; the
Saale is scheduled to leave Bremen on
Dec. 10 and Southampton on Dec. 20; the
Trave arrived at Bremen by way of South
| ampton on Dec. 81 and does not sail again
| until Jan. 2; the .Iahn leaves Bremen on
Jan. 3, and the Aiier moved out on Dec Is
and Is not listed to sail until Jan. 16 Gus
tav III. Schwab, the American agent of the
North German Lloyd line, had not been in
formed of any mishap to his vessels.
If 1t is Hamburg-American liner in dis
| tress it must be either the Pretoria or the
Kaiser Friedrich, either of which could
have sailed out of turn. Provided II is a
Hamburg American ship. it is probably the
Pretoria, which arrived at Hamburg on
| Dec. D.
Emil l.. Boas, American manager of the
Hamburg American line, said tonight
There is nothing to indicate that ii is a
New York steamer, although it may be a
Hamburg-American steamship. We have
| seventy-six steamers, of which only ten or
twelve are in the New York service. All
use the same signals. 1t cannot be the
Pretoria, for she is not on her way here
A representative Of the North German
| Lloyd line said he was positive that none Of
their vessels had sailed for port of the
| United States at the right time to be caught
off Dungeness.
| Eliminating the two German lines from
| the problem would leave the Atlantic
| Transport and the Wilson lines, both of
| whose steamers pass Dungeness, the
| former from London, the latter from Hull.
| The sailing list shows that it is very un-
| likely that any vessel of either line would
be in the position indicated.
The unfortunate vessel, therefore. prob
| ably belongs to the Mediterranean, Oriental
or South American side Of the Hamburg
| American line.

NEW YORK. Dec. "a special to the
Times from Washington says: Senator
Kyle, of South Dakota, who has been
classed in the congressional directory, pre-
sumably upon his own authority, as an
independent in politics, but who repeatedly
has voted with the republicans. has come
out in a declaration that will justify the
makers of the directory hereafter in classi-
flying him as a Republican in name as well
as in fact. He is out of line with his for
mer Populist associates, and says SO.
Though / am bimetallist and have been so
from conscientious convictions for twenty
five years. he said. I would rather take the
most unadultulated gold standardism than
to accept bimetallsm with the ingredients
of radical socialism that are now associated
with It,
Senator Kyle says the third-party move
ment has degenerated into an Endorsement
of all that is radical and sociaIistic. The
chairman Of the Populists In South Dakota,
he says, is a Socialist of the most pro-
nounced type, whose newspaper advocates
an entirely new form of government. The
Republicans and conservative Democrats
who were associated in the independent
movement in the past have returned to
their former political allegiance, not car
ing to follow Altgeld, Lebs and other
agitators. Because Of tho utterances of
the radicals. he says the American flag was

ism raised in its place. j am in favor Of
