THE CHARS ILLNESS.
Impression PrevaiIs In Europe That It Is More Serious Than Reported.

 It Is More Serious Than Reported.
 LONDON, Nov. 16-The impression exists in most European capitals that the illness of Emperor Nicholas is more serious than it is represented to be, but this is probably based upon knowledge that the czars constitution is not strong and is little likely to resist serious at tack.
 In Copenhagen the illness is attributed to overwork in connection with the Chi nese crisis, and there is also suspicion that the hygienic conditions and water supply at Livadia may be faulty.
 The dowaser czarina receives news by courier twice each day. Her departure from E'redensbelg had been officially fix ed for Nov. 2G. Preparations have since been made for her to leave at any mo- nent, and the fact that she has not start ed indicates that there is no immediate danger.
 It is feared, however, that even if no complications ensue the attack may be of long duration.
 There is 20 news from St. Petersburg on the subject beyond the official bulie tins, which indicate that the attack is only slight, Eo high temperature having yet been reached.
 \ dispatch from Rene says a rurnor ix current there that the illness of the czar is due to poisoning, and it is asserted that cipher teleGrams have been received at the Vatican saying that an attempt was made to poison both the czur and czarina, but that the latter was not af- fected.

DUNKIRK, N. Y, Now 16.-The bliz- gard which struck the lake region of Chautauqu2 county has subsided.

New York, Nov 16-Another hard scrub game was Sanford's policy at Columbia field yesterday, after which the coach left the field smiling Miller, Larendon, Owens and Beardsley were recruits in the scrub line and made it fairly impregnable. So much so was this true that only one touchdown was credited to the senior team after forty live minutes of slashing play Weekes and Wolff had a day of rest, their places being taken by Holman and McCollom respectively, while Nieser was put at guard in Beardsley's place. Berrian played with his bad ear heavi- ly padded, which did not seem to hin der him in the least. The defensive work of the varsity was so good that Sanford was led to remark: ''Ihis is the best I've seen this year, In word. the scrub netted but four yards gain in sixteen downs. A full corps of players will leave for Annapolis to- night to meet the Naval Cadets to- morrow.

ON THE GRIDIRON
Betting Is in Favor of Yale for the
 Game Tomorrow,

All arrangements have been com pleted by Manager Dunphy of the St Thomas Cadets by which the Fifth Ar tlllery eleven of Fort Hamilton, New
 York, will play here at the Driving park on the afternoon of Thanksgiv- ing day. The Fifth Artillery is one or the strongest eleyens in the United States army. Their schedule this year comprises games with the strongest eleYens in the country, excluding the college teams. On election day they defeated the strong EliZabe Athletic club in the morning by 'a score of 10 10 U, and in the afternoon they were the victors over the crack college eleven of Seton Hall by q score of 6 to .. They have suffered one defeat this year, that at the hands of the Orange A. C., which is considered the best eleven outside the college elevens. Among other games scheduled on it's
 list are games with the Pastime and hnlckerbOcker clubs and Fordham col leSe. On the other hand, the sporting people of Waterbury need no detailed account of the record of the St Thom- as Cadets. For the past eight years they have made a record which any team would be proud of and have stood i'll the foremost rank as one of the best tedhS III the state. In 1857 their crack eleven was only defeated by a score of IT to by the Y. NJ. c. A. eleven, the champions of the state. and it is said that this years eleven is fully as good as the '97 team. By vir- tue of it's defeat of the excellent Mer- rlmac eleven by a score of 6 to 0 they hold the championship of the city. In bringing the Fifth Artillery here Man. ager Dunphy will have to lay out con- siderable money. but the Cadets do not mind this but wish to show the people that they have indeed a great eleven

Ithaca, Nov 16.-Cornell's football team left for Easton last night. They will take their final practice at Easton to-day. The practice yesterday was not as good as the students expected. Only the earlier part of the practice was secret, and the students, who have not been allowed to witness the prac- tice of late, availed themselves of the opportunity to see the lineup and came down in large numbers. The scrubs contested every inch of the ground and the first team could score but once in the twenty minutes played

Philadelphia, Nov 16.-Pennsvl- vania's team took secret practice yes terday afternoon. The grounds were cleared of all the students and only one or two favored ones were allowed to witness the work of the scrub and varsity teams. It blew up brisk and cool in the afternoon and made it just about right for the game of football. The scrub players seemed greatly braced by the change in the weather and went at the varsity with a dash that gave the regulars all they want ed to do to hold their own. The scrub team had a new play which Coach Woodford expects to have sprung on his team and he had a defense pre- pared especially for it. The scrub worked the play over and over again and the varsity practiced the new de- fense. It is ingenious and it remains to be seen just how well it will work against strange team.

Cambridge, Nov 16.--The Harvard varsity eleven went through the hard est practice yesterday afternoon that they have had since the Pennsylvania game. marked by the return of Ellis and Swain to active work after an ab- sence of ten days. Captain Daily was out in his togs, but did not run through signal practice. Kendall and Eaton are still on the sick list. There is still lack of the spirit that goes to make play, and the line men are not vet playing low enough. The backs were slow early in the game, but improved somewhat under coaching. The var sity scored three touchdowns in the line up against the second eleven. All were the result of long enc runs.

Tue LEGAL WATERING
OF LIQUOR DEFINED

Liquor may not be watered, save un-
der certain restrictions, which are set
forth by the following letter to Inter-
nal Revenue Collector Haywood:
William Haywood. Esq, Collector Of
Internal Revenue. Honolulu. H. T.:
"Sir-In reply to your inquiry Of the
Goth ult. you are informed that this
ONCE has always held that the reduc-
ton OF spirits in proof by the simple
addition OF water does not constitute
rectifeation and may. therefore, be
performed by wholesale liquor deal
er. Such q reduction in packages Of
five wine gallons and upward amounts
to a change in package and requires
issuance of a new wholesale liquor
dealers stamp to cover the resulting
quantity.
There being no provision for stamp
ing spirits on the premises OF retail
liquor dealers. they are not permitted
to reduce the proof OF spirits by the
addition OF water except in case Of

clever a musical organization as has

Egry's Recital Was a
Great Musical Treat
Large and Fashionable Audience
Pays Homage to Honolulu's
Best Musicians.

A large and select audience of music
given by Paul Egry at the opera house
last evening. The concert was sue
cess in every way and the only fault
found was that it was over too soon.
Each number was treat in itself
and the selection of pieces was clever

for violin, Mr.. Egry was assisted by
Mrs. H. NJ. Mou-Smith, accompanist.
The first movement showed the talent
Of Mr.. Egry in all its versatility. In the
andante and allegro vIvace movements,
however, he excelled, and these two
were most pleasing. AIRS. Mott-Smith
proved herself a splendid aecompanist
in this difficult number.
The violinist received much well
merited applause for his performance.
Number two on The program was the
violincello solo by H. NJ. Mott-Smith.
II was in two parts, romance by
Macdonald and a capriccio by Golfer
mann. The first was a weird compost
ton which gave great scope for the
performers Interpretation. 1t was en-
joyed by the audience and storm OF
applause greeted the performer when
he concluded. The capriocio was
great contrast to the first selection and
in 1t Mr.. Mott-Smith showed himself
a master of the cello.
Mr.. Egry electrified the audience In
his rendition of Sarasate's Romano ct

in this number. The piece is one not

ability in no uncertain way and his
work showed careful study In re-
