YALE'S CELEBRATION.


New Haven, Conn, Oct. 23.-In a
great amphitheater, bedecked in blue
and illumined by long strings of
orange-hued lanterns and Greek fire
flaming and smoking skyward from
poles erected about the campus, the
sons of Yale witnessed last night an
allegorical performance by the dra-
matte association of the university
and listened to the songs of the stu
dent chorus drilled especially for this
feature of the bicentennial celebra-
ton. After an afternoon devoted to
football, in which the varsity II
showed its prowess and the veteran
heroes of the gridiron matched their
strength and old-time skill victorious
ly against the college team, it was
not uniting that graduates and
students should assemble within the
Historic campus and voice their ap-
probation Of the festival time. They
ranged themselves by classes within
the amphitheater, nearly 5000 strong,
every class having a distinctive trans
parcncy "a mark its position, and
joined with vigor in the bicentennial
songs.

MISS STONES ABDUCTION.


London, Oct. 23.--Mr. Dickinson
thinks that If the original Macedonian
promoters of the abduction of Miss
Stone can be arrested the brigands,
who acted under their orders, would
accept smaller ransom. As the Bull
rarian government is prepared to act
vigorously If sufficient proof is forth
coming, says the Vienna correspond
cnt of the Times, this method of pro-
ceeding may perhaps prove successful.
"It is reported from Sofia" says
the Vienna correspondent of the Daily
Mail, that United States Consul Gen.
cral Dickinson has received intelli-
gence from shepherds that Miss Stone
was seen at Jakoouda, on Turkish ter
ritory. about two hours Journey from
the Bulgarian frontier.
"Miss Stone was captured" says the
Sofia correspondent of the Vienna
Neues Weiner journal, mot by brig
ands, but by detachment of Turkish
cavalry at the instigation Of the
sultan"

PANIC At A THEATER
4 Cry Of Fire Raised at the Temple
in Louisville, Ky.


Louisville, KY, Oct. 23.-Several
hundred persons attempted to rush
ont OF the Temple theater yesterday
afternoon because the cry of fire was
raised when a little fame was seen
about a poyscope machine. In the
scramble many were knocked down
and 10 we're injured, three seriously.
One Of the latter may die. 1t was
about $3.50 o'clock, just after the first
act OF "Tennessee's Pardner" and
while the polyscope was being got
ten ready that the little fash of
fame came that caused the panic.
Many women and children, who main
" composed the audience, made a
rush for the door. The panic seized
the gallery and in moment the oc-
eupants were plunging down the
stairway or were taking the swifter
method of climbing down into the
auditorium proper In their haste
many fell, landing on those beneath.
Several were badly hurt in this way.
The attaches Of the thenter at
tempted to stop the mad rush. The
band played and Charles I. Bates,
member of the stock company,
danced. This had much effect in
quieting those nearest the stage.
The great crush occurred where the
steps come down from the gallery.
Here the two crowds met and were
packed into a space not large enough
for half of them, and all were trying
with desperation born of fear to
reach the street. The weaker were
soon knocked down and trampled I'M
der foot. The mad crowd literally
rolled down the long flight of stairs.
As soon as the rush was over the
care of the injured began. A big
room was converted into a tempo
'ary hospital, from which every patrol
wagon and ambulance in the city was
soon engaged in hauling the more
seriously wounded to the hospitals or
their homes.
The members of the stock COM
pany showed the greatest presence of
mind and the play was finished with
out a hitch. There was no damage
from fire. It is said the extent Of
the fire was the blowing out Of fuse
on the polyscope.

IN the prison here during the week
commencing next Monday, fully real
hing that his death is now a question
Of u few days, has asked for spiritual
consolation and yesterday afternoon

tending the forty hours devotion of

inability to do so, and he was in
formed that unless he could the con-
ISOLATION of the church would be de-
MED him. The priest urged the con
tlemned man to consider the matter
carefully. Czolgosz assured Father
Szardinski that in ease he determined
to accept the Offices OF religion he
would send for him, but he did not
hold out much hope that he would re-
nounce the doctrines Of anarchy.
When State Superintendent Of
Prisons Collins was here he had 4 long

THE NAVAL INQUIRY.
Testimony Given BY George Graham. an A.
ISOLATED Press Correspondent, and 9th.
ers In Bchley'a Favor.

Washington, Oct. 23.-The Schley
court of inquiry opened yesterday
with Lieut.. B. W. Wells, Jr., who was
Commodore Schley's flag lieutenant
during the Spanish war, still on the
stand, but he was soon displaced to
allow Ycoman Albert v. Mason, who
had written the Brooklyn's log for
the period covering the Santiago cam
paign, to testify. Mr.. Mason ex-
planned the erasures in the log entry
referring to the Brooklyn's turn on
the day Of the battle off Santiago. He
was followed by Mr.. George +. Ora
ham, who, as an Associated press cor
respondent, was with Commodore
Schley during the entire campaign.
Mr.. Graham's testimony covered all
the principal events OF the campaign
and discussed especially the lombard
ment OF the Spanish ship Colon on
May 81 and the battle off Santiago
on July 3. Mr. Graham testified to
hearing a conversation between Com
modore Schley and Capt. Sigsbee,
when the latter came aboard the
flagship Brooklyn off Santiago May
26. He said he had distinctly heard
Capt. Sigsbee tell the commodore
that the Spanish feet was not inside
the harbor at Santiago. Mr.. Graham
also stated that Admiral Schley had
told him that the object Of the bonn
bardment of May 81 was to develop
the Spanish land batteries, and he
said that the range was fixed at 1000
or 1900 yards in order to draw their
fire. He further said. with reference
to the events of this engagement,
that he had heard no conversation in
which Commodore Schley had said
that the officers in their white uni
forms were conspicuous objects. Mr..
Graham detailed conversation be-
tween Commodore Schley and Capt.
Robley D. Evans which took place
after the Santiago engagement.
There was some discussion over the
admissibility of this statement, but
the court decided that any coaversa-
ton between the commodore and
anyone else bearing upon the case
was admissible.
The witnesses for the afternoon
were Dennis ]. Cronn, who was Adj
miral Schley's orderly, and who also
testified along the same lines as Mr.. |
Graham TO the conversation with |
Capt. Sigsbee; Lieut.. Commander Will
liam X. Rush. who said he thought |
the Viscaya had planned to ram the
Brooklyn; Lieut.. Edward Simpson,
who gave very graphic picture of
the battle of July 3, and Lieut.. Ed
ward T. Fitzgerald, an assistant en-
gineer, who was on duty in the fire
room on July 3 and who testified that |
an order had been given early in the
action to stand by for ram.

ROOSEVELT AT FARMINGTON.
Tho President Made Three Dashes Through
the Town In Order to Give the People
an Opportunity to See Him.

Pennington, Conn.,, Oct. 93.-Presi-

yesterday provided quite suitable
addition to the historic annals of
this ordinarily quiet old town, In
the middle of the afternoon the turn
out of townspeople, added to the in.
Hux of several hundred from Hart
ford and adjoining townships, en-
larged the throngs to proportions
much beyond that to which Farming
ton is accustomed. The absence of
n publicly announced programme
gave an element of uncertainty to
the day, but the mass of people went
away satisfied, for the president made
three dashes through portions of the
town. In the last of these he rode
out in an open carriage through the
big crowd assembled on the principal
street corners just at the conclusion
of the ceremony of planting Nc
Kinley memorial oak. Men and wom-
en-, youths and maids pushed and
struggled to touch the presidents
hand as he, leaning far out of the
carriage, endeavored to reach as
many as possible without delaying a
more formal reception which awaited
him at his sisters home
An interesting incident of the
morning drive was the greeting Of
1850 school children, attired in white,
waving flags at the president as he
rode by.
