THE PLOT AGAINST CANADA
GOTERNMEN1,S ACTS IN THE CASE
 MADE PUBLIC.
Conspiracy Not Taken seriously-First Information of it Sent 10 tho Hcnd of Canadian Territory fin the Yukon Was to be Selzod-Trying to Locate Leaders.

Ottawa, Ont, Nov. 22.-All the facts in the possession of the interior de- partment regarding the alleged con- spiracy to capture the government of the Yukon were made public to-day. Officials here do not take a serious view of the situation.
 On the Fist of September Comptroller Fred White of the mounted police was advised by Superintendent Primrose of Dawson of a report from Seattle that some scheme was being concocted to seize Canadian territory in the Yukon. On the 18th MT. White again received a message from Superintendent Primrose saying that he was unable to confirm the report although circumstances tended to confirm his suspicious. On the 27th of September Superintendent Primrose again wired from Dawson that his cipher message referred to dis puted territory on the Yukon trail and that he was writing Superintendent Primrose's letter was received October 7th. It stated that he was unable to confirm reports. It appears that a man named H. Greghl told that he knew of conspiracy against the gov ernment that Greghl had been shad- owed by the police and that it was dis covered that he told several stories about himself. He had been in Daw- son about a month
 His conversation was to the effect that secret organization intended to take possession of the Yukon territory, their plan being to run White Horse Pass and take the smaller attachments along the river it being an easy mat ter then to capture the barracks at Dawson The organization had repre- sentatives al both Seattle and Skagway and they expected to be assisted by men from Circle City and Eagle City. This was the plan outlined by Greghl.
 Greghl it was said by member of the mounted police had been in the gro- cery business in Butte Mont
 Nothing more was heard of the mat ter until the fourth of November, when Comptroller Fred White received the following telegram from Superint tendent Wood of Dawson:
 Snyder reports discovered where abouts in Skagway papers relating to conspiracy to seize territory United States refuse to secure unless Snyder makes affidavit as to conspirators. This, of course, he cannot do. Am satisfied such conspiracy exists"
 The police were also trying to locate a man named Short who had been men tioned as having knowledge of a con- spiracy.

DEADLOCK IN NEGOTIATIONS.
Mir. Dickinson Leaves Sofia To Consult
 With Mir. Eddy.


 Sofia, Nov. 22.-Mr. Dickinson, the | diplomatic agent here of the United l States, started for Constantinople to- day, there to confer with Spencer Eddy, the secretary of the United States le- gation, as to the best means of hasten- ing a solution in the deadlock which has arisen in the negotiations over the release of Miss Stone.
 MT. Dickinson will probably return here, bringing with him cash with which to pay Miss Stones ransom, as her kidnappers insist that this payment be made in Turkish gold
 MT. Dickinson is considering the ad- visibility of presenting an ultimatum to the brigands in which he will fix ten days as the period in which e10,0O0 must be accepted by the brigands as Miss Stones ransom. If this proposal is not accepted by her captors all deal ing with the bandits, so far as the United States is concerned, will cease,
 If these conditions have not already been dictated by MT. Dickinson the ul- timatum comprising them will almost certainly be delivered as soon as the American diplomatic agent returns from Constantinople.
 According to the latest information received here. both Miss Stone and Madame Tsilka continue in rather good health, They are concealed in a large village near Dubnitza, whither they were taken blindfolded and where only rude comforts are obtainable.
 According to the statement of a per- son who arrived from Dubnitza last night, the captives have been removed from village near Dubnitza to a point near the frontier, and Miss Stone got wet while crossing the River Struma.

CUFFS MA7TER IN ABEYANCE
General Impression at Harvard That He Will Not Play.

I | Cambridge. Mass, Nov. 22-In regard | to the protest of Cuts which Yale is reported to have made, Head Coach Reid referred inquirers to Professor | Hollis, chairman of the Harvard ath- | letic commwittee, who said: Yale has made no protest. Whether Cutts plays or not rests with the ath- letic committee of Harvard, and it has not yet made up its mind. The decis- ion depends on certain facts not yet asoertained. If these facts do not ap- pear the decision will be clear and will be made known at the last minute. If still be very vexed one No additional information was presented to the ath- letic committee by Yale which has not been already presented"
 This is all that could be obtained from Professor Hollis, It is the general im- pression at Harvard that the athletic committee has almost decided that Cutts is ineligible, owing to his work at the Haverford school, Pennsy lyania, but the coaches will not say so, as they do not wish the players to know any thing about the matter, as it would spoil their rest tonight.
 It was announced late tonight that Cutts' case would be definitely settled in the morning.
 Harvard athletic authorities will say nothing of the alleged trip of Stillman, the Yale coach with evidence to show that Cutts should be barred from to- morrow's game.

" Reducing Duty on Goods

l Colon, Colombia Nov. 22, D. m,-- The latest news obtainabe here is to
 the effect that the Liberal general, | Lugo. has arrived at Empire Station, l distant about twelve miles from Pana- | ma with a force said to number 1000 | men. The Liberals are gaining and | arming many recruits along the entire | length of the railroad and now control the line up to within point of two miles from Panama. An attack on that city Is expected momentarily and much
 uneasiness Is felt there. The Liberal leader, Domingo Diaz, 1t is expected will shortly arrive at Colon. It is ru- mored here that Buena Ventura Ca Co., lombian port on the Pacific coast about 400 miles south of Panama) has been taken by the Liberals. Confirmation of
 this report is lacking
 Marines from the gunboat Machias still guard the station and property of the railroad here. The battleship Iowa will land force when the necessity arises.
 The Liberals here have already given notice that the ad valorem duty on goods disembarked at Colon will hence forth be 10 per cent, not 20 per cent, as formerly. All the stores in Colon are open to-day and business has been re- stunned. The Colombian gunboat Gen eral Pinzon Is believed to be along the coast somewhere near Colon, for when she left here she was short of coal. Transit across the Isthmus is still free and uninterrupted.
 Washingt on. Nov. 22-The answer of the Colombian government to the rep resentations of Consul General Gudger to the effect that that government was unable to guarantee the integrity of the railway communication across the isthmus was purposely developed In order to make perfectly plain the fact that the United States was thoroughly justified In landing it's forces at Colon.

The Harvard team is exactly the same as it played against Pennsyl- vania. with the exception that Kernan is at left halfback instead of Putnam. l The win of the Harvard Law school over Yale this afternoon and the en- thusiasm throughout the college has reused the students to confidence in their team. They are no longer asking odds but are willing to bet even money. Cambridge is decorated as never be- fore. every store in the square flying colors, the crimson, of course, predomi- mating, but with a goodly showing of the blue. Many of the decorations are very elaborate. Even the old elms in the college yard fly Harvard flags and all the buildings are decorated. Beck Hall the dormitory where the most wealthy students reside, has long streamers of crimson bunting on each corner. on which the Harvard cheer is printed in large white letters. On the building also are no less than 320 Har-
 yard flags The car station of Har- ward Square has an immense letter H on it's front 150 feet high, which is half red and half blue.
 
 our team is stronger than it was at the Yale game last year and I do not think Yale is as strong These facts, judging by that game, would predict q close contest tomorrow. It all depends upon how our men keep coming after they are once warmed up to their work but there are a great many things which may or may not happen"
 Captain Campbell expressed confi- dence in his team and said that he was sure they would play the game out for all that was in them.
 Trainer McMaster was asked especial ly about the condition of Blagdon. He said that Blagdon was in good shape and would be able to stand all the work and hard knocks he would get in the game. He expected Blagdon to play throughout the whole game. He pre- dicted that there would not be more than three touchdowne made in all.
 B. H. Dibblee, ex-captain and half back, said that Harvard has good chance to win tomorrow Her offense is the strongest part of her team play. It is a trifle slow in getting started but Is very spirited and decidedly well uni- fled.
 Harvard men think that the team has more than even chances.
 The field is in good condition. It will not be covered with straw tonight or protected in any way and it is thought that Harvard will have the ad- vantage over Yale in playing on it's own field under it's natural conditions.
