AMERICAN SHIPS
GATHER AT COLON

Washington, Nov. 2z.-Save for two
reassuring dispatches from Consul
General Gudger of Panama and Cap
tain Perry Of The battleship Iowa, ly-
ing off that port, neither the state
nor navy departments received ad-
vices yesterday concerning the situa-
ton on the isthmus. Great interest
is felt in official circles here as to
the outcome of the Chorrera expedi-
ton for it is realized that the result
OF the engagement at that point will
be decisive in giving either the con-
sentative or liberal element control of
the isthmus.
Secretary Long has not sent addi-
tional instructions to the commander
of the Iowa and Machias, believing
that too full directions ofttimes hamper
instead of facilitate in such a situa-
ton as now exists on the is,hmLs, and
preferring to trust the officers own
judgment in suiting their actions to
the prime purpose of keeping traffic
free and American interests fully pro-
tec,ed. In a few days the glnboat
Concord will have reached Panama to
relieve the Iowa, and the Marietta on
the Atlantic side will be at Colon to
lake the place of the Machias. How
ever, if the present situation con-
tinues, all four vessels will be held OH
the isthmus pending further develop
ments.

Burglars Get Sig Haul in euffaIo
County Bank.
Mondovi, Wis, Nov. 20.-The First
National bank of this city was entered
by burglars Monday evening, the safe
blown and $4,000 in currency and gold
and $500 in silver was stolen. The
robbers entered the bank through a
rear window and broke open the vault
and then attacked a supposed burglar
proof safe. The door was cracked
with dynamite. The only clue the
officers have to work on is a sight
check which was found in the road
leading to Eau Claire. From this /
is supposed that after the men flushed
their job they left the village and
headed for Eau Claire. The Eau Claire
authorities have been notified and are
on the outlook for the men. The
work was neatly done and the ropDers
were evidently expert cracksmen.
The banks loss is covered with insur.

GETS A MONSTER MOOSE.
Minnesota Man Drops a Giant Bull
Near Grand Rapids.


Minneapolis, Nov. 24.-C. L. Quin,
Ian Of the Hotel Beaufort, who has
just returned from the chase, holds
the record for the biggest bull moose
shot this season in Minnesota, and
one of the largest of it's specimens
ever killed in this state. It tips the
scales at just 761 pounds and is such
a remarkably fine specimen that
Quinlan has already placed an order
with a local taxidermist to mount it.
Quinlan killed this moose a hundred
miles north Of Grand Rapids, with a
5000 rife. The hunter came sud
denly on the quarry on an old tote"
road at the edge Of a swamp, late n
the afternoon. While the bull was
leisurely surveying the hunter, GUN
Ian ''let go" at a rage of fifty yards
and brought down his mark with a
bullet through the shoulder. Quin-
Ian also killed three deer, all being
bucks. He has hunted in the north
ern woods for seventeen years and he
says game has never been so plenti-
full. If the law allowed, he could have
killed twenty more deer.

Athens, Nov. 22.-The agitation
against the proposal to translate the
gospels into modern Greek was con.
tinued yesterday. Twenty thousand
persons assembled around the ruins

Several collisions occurred. During
the encounters between the military
and the turbulent demonstrators, seven
persons were killed and thirty injured
severely, many others being slightly
wounded.
Great excitement prevailed last
night. Strong military detachments
guard the palace and residence Of the
premier Everywhere anxious groups
are discussing the situation. Heart
rending scenes occurred when the
bodies Of the dead were handed over
to their relatives. It is rumored that
armed men have arrived at the uni

tary discipline. Opposition deputies
paraded the streets during the day, ex-
citing the rioters by violent language.
There were no further disturbances
during the evening but it is feared
there will be renewal of disorders
today. Among those slightly injured
are the project of police of Athens
and the project Of Attica.

Cambridge, Nov. 24-Vengeance
never sweeter and victory never more
decisive came to Harvard yesterday
afternoon when her eleven defeated
Yale p to 0. Three touchdowns, two
Of which were converted into goals,
and a goal from the field, all of bill
liant execution, was Harvard's por,
ton. The Harvard men required
about five minutes in which start their
superb football machinery. After that
Yale was never in the playing. In
scrimmage tactics, line plunging,
hurdling, skirting, punting and drop
kicking the Yale men were completely
outclassed. The Harvard players gave
also a remarkable demonstration OF
uniform play. AS a result the colors
of the crimson waved in delirious 10y
during the greater portion of the two
hours occupied by the contest.
Thirty six thousand spectators. a
greater number than was ever before
gathered at football game, watched
the battle. Three quarters of the
enormous crowd cheered for Harvard,
while 5000 sympathizers tried to en-
courage the overwhelmed wearers of
the blue.
Harvard presented a team which
was unchanged from start to finish.
Yale, on the other hand, required SIX
teen men to meet the onslaught of the
Harvard plungers. The game was as
cleanly played as any ever witnessed
on this field. Harvard scored seven
teen points in the first half. In the
second half Harvard resorted more
often to punting. Yale played much
better football in the second half A
great celebration followed.

Ann Arbor, Nov. 24-Michigan SO,

Beloit was unable to do anything
against the Ann Arbor men. Only

football contest yesterday, chiefly
noted for the never-say-die spirit of
the yanquished. Minnesota's goal was
never in danger, the play, being all in
territory. There was
little punting and scarcely any fumb-
ling. Minnesota played her usual
plunging game and gained consistently.
Four times during the game Minnesota

HUskED CORN IN HIS SLEEP.

actually shucked a fourth OF load of
corn before awakening. What is more
remarkable, not to exceed a dozen
ears of corn had been missed by him
in his journey across the field.
This feat seems incredible, but is
thoroughly substan,iated. The boy re-
tired at o'clock and went soundly
asleep. At 2 O'Clock he awakened the
household by returning from the corn
field with a wagon box partly filed
with corn. He has been a somnambu-

nothing to compare with his corn
