LAST NIGHTS MASS MEETING

Yale Men Try to Get Up Enthusiasm
 Over the Coming Football Game.
 About 800 Yale men met in Alumni hall last evening at o'clock and list ened to speeches by Brown and Cross, two former Yale football stars. It is very evident to even the coachers that the interest in the coming game with Princeton Is not what it should be, and for this reason they tried to inspire the men to get together and show some sort of loyalty toward the football team.
 The speakers assured the men that the Yale team was all right and it should have the support of every man in college. They spoke to the students about going out to the field and cheer ing the team at practice and said that it would do a good deal to help with the game Saturday. The addresses were short and each of the speakers was cheered. After that all the members of the team were given a Hong cheer" and the vocal organs of those present were oiled in good shape The football songs were sung heartily, and taking the meeting as a whole it resulted more successfully than the one held last week Thursday the undergraduates will go out in a body and cheer the team, as it will be the last practice be- fore the game.

THE BOARD OF COUNCILMBN
(Continued from First Page.)

Continued from First Page.) There is a suspicion that the game now | is to give someone a job regardless of the advisabiity or individuality of the expenditure Of money
 The matter was brought up last night | by the reading of the endorsement of non concurrent action by the two boards. Councilman Logan. the demo- cratic leader of the board of council
 men, moved that the conference com ! mittee recommendation be adopted. Councilman Elliott, republican, moved an amendment to recede from former action and concur with the aldermen who at their last meeting rejected the conference committee report and voted to adhere to their previous action in
 favor of giving the mayor the power of appointment.
 An aye and nay vote was taken on the amendment and it was carried by q vote of 21-16, the members voting as follows:
 Ayes-Messrs. Browning Tngersoll, Flames, Werweiss, Feustel, Barnes, Gussman, Hosley Wells, Manning,
 Harper, Elliott, Booth, Jacobs, Wohl- maker, Bracken French, Hine, Bristol, Brown, Boyer-21.
 Nays--Messrs. Frederick, Parrott,
 Farrell, Cunningham, Habersang, Ke- hoe, Ryan, Pauly, Dwyer, Logan, Car lin, Huber, Coyle, Russell Kelly, | Hughes--16.
 Messrs. Werweiss, Feustel, Wohl-
 maker and Bracken, democrats voted
 with the republican members. A few minutes later Councilman
 Frederick moved to reconsider but Councilman Elliott raised objection, saying that MT. Frederick had not vot- ed with the majority and so under the
 rules could not move to reconsider Be- fore MT. Frederick could reply Council
 man Logan said that he had voted with
 the majority on the motion to adopt the
 amended report and would now move
 to reconsider Then Councilman Fred
 erick, seeing that the motion to con-
 slider could not prevail moved to post
 pone reconsideration. This motion re-
 quires only fifth vote to prevail and
 the required vote was secured. The
 matter was thus tied up and the $2,000
 may yet be saved to the city.
 Another matter of interest which
 came up last night was the matter of appointment of trustees for the Maret fund The special committee to which a resolution for the appointment of E.. c. Stoddard, Robert Foote and A. Max cy Hitler reported in favor of the pass age of that resolution and the alder men adopted it with slight amendment
 Councilman Wells last night present. ed an amendment to provide that agents to handle the fund be appointed by the mayor and that the agents when appointed give bonds to the mayor and controller and make annual reports to the controller on or before February 15 of each year. The amendment was seconded by Councilman Elliott. On motion of Councilman Logan the com mittee report, MT. Wells amendment

So, contrary to the original expectation, 1t will not be possible for the board to recomm end the award of such medal to President Roosevelt If the department acted adversely in that matter last year, and it Is understood that the recommend ation in the presidents case will be linn ited to a brevet

 The French government has received satisfactory replies from all the powers without exception to its note explaining the measures taken against Turkey. An impression has been created in official cir cles by the tone of the response of the United States, which is couched in the most friendly terms
 The Turkish authorities have cut the telegraph line between Mityelene and Constantinpole. Thus Admiral Caiilard was unable to communicate directly with M Baptist, councillor of the French legation at Constantinpole and was ob- liged to file all dispatches at the Island of Syra.

KILLED HUNDREDS
 OF CONGO NATIVES
FORCED TO WORK AT MUZzLE OF RIFLES FoR2 CENTS PER POUND OF RUBBER, WHICH IS SOLD AT 75 z NTs.

London Novemb Der Edgar Canisius the employ of the Congo Free State. con- firm the stories of the terrible condition of the natives and especially in the por- tions termed the State domain, where strangers are seldom admitted.
 Canisius, who accompanied Major Lo- in the Congo, on his earlier expedition after rubber. says 900 natives were killed in six weeks during that expedition, while a small expedition, com manded by a Belgian lieutenant, killed 300 natives in three weeks. The district is practically which such endless barbarities are com mitted that the natives are absolutely horror stricken.
 Canisius further declares that the so- called punitive expeditions are in reality rubber squeezing raids, conducted with such iniquitous methods that the natives are in a constant state of revolt.
 While the conditions are somewhat i'm proved in the territories worked by ths COHCeSSlOH companies tue lot OI tHe nd- tive in the state domain, Canisius de clares is far worse since the advent oi the whites. The natives are practically forced to work rubber at the muzzle of rifles. receiving cents per pound for what is sold at 75 cents at Antwerp. Thousands of natives have fled to the bush and live like wild animals. Along the jungle paths the dead bodies of those who have died of starvation are frequent sights.
