 Local Team From Defeat.

New Orleans, October 25.-Tulane and Auburn in a fiereely contested and scrap py game at Athletic park, failed to score against one another in two halves of 25 minutes each. The game was played in midsummer heat in the presence of about 15OO spectators, Auburn ruling favorite be- fore the game with odds of to 1 and many takers. Both depended principally on straight football. Tulane using tackles back, while Auburn employed tandem formation.

PANAMA CANAL COMPANY GAN
 ACCORDING GIVE CLEAR TITLE TO PROPERTY
COLOMBIA NOT POSTPONING
 APPOINTMENTOF COMMISSION

Washington. October 25.-No action on the part of the government of Colombia on the pending isthmian canal treaty in postponing the appointment of the commission. which is to take charge of the construction of the canal It was at first supposed that as soon as the attor- ney general had satisfied himself of the suffciency of the title to the canal prop erty, that could be conveyed by the French company, the way would be clear for the appointment of the commission and afterwards for the preparation of the specifications upon which the work is to be done. This was based upon the as- sumption that the agreement upon the outlines of the treaty with the canal company, reached in Washington be- tween the secretary of state and the Colombian minister. amounted to a pledge by the latter in behalf of his own government to promptly ratify such. a treaty.
 Now 1t has developed that the ratifica- tion of the treaty is a long way off, ow- ing to the fact that the Colombian con gress. become which the convention must come, has not yet been elected up to this

MEMBERS HAVE ENOUGH.
Many of the Men in the House of Commons Will Quit Running.

London, October 25.-So bitter has become the feeling because of the re- cent disturbances in the house of com mons that several of the older mem- bers have privately declared they will not seek reelection. In response to vigorous declarations by some of his supporters who regard their peace of mind as superior to political consid- erations which involve rowdyism, Pre- mier Balfour has promised to exercise the closure with stronger hand than he has ever before attempted
 The benefits to be derived from this course are doubtful, as the nationalists have shown an ingenious mastery over the difficulties of the house of com mons procedure, and much irritation is felt on the government benches over the fact that MT. Balfour's new rules, which were intended to expedite busi- ness, has proven an excellent weapon with which to delay it. A severe ap- plication of the closure also will tend to produce vigorous protests of the present liberals, who, in such circum- stances, will combine forces with the nationalists. How speedily the mother of parliaments is legislating at pres ent can be judged from the fact that in seven days debate only seven lines of the educational bill have been adODted

NATIONAL APPALACHIAN CON.
 VENTIoN MEETS AT ASHEVILLE,
 N. CHAPTER STRONG SPEECHES PASS RESOLUTIONS FOR BILL.

Asheville, N. C., October 25.-The Ma tional Appalachian Park convention was called to order in this city this after noon at o'clock.
 President Rutherford P. Hayes, son of United States President Hayes. presided. Opening the convention, President Hayes gave a summary of reasons embraced in the Presidents message to congress, why the reserve should be established. He said:
 For economic reasons the preservation of these forests were imperative Their existence in good condition is essential to which their waters run. Maintained in productive condition, they supply indis- pensible material Their management un- der practical and conservative foresters will sustain an increase to resources of this region and nation at large
 Federal action is obviously nece ssary; is fully justified by reason of publia ne- cessity and may be expected to adve most fortunate results"
 Following Mir Hayes address, Secre- tary Amber submitted his report. shows | ing q summary of the entire work of the association since it was organized. ObhSA CoHlAlllIee reports were read, after which addresses were made by State Geologist Holmes of North Carolina and Hon. Joshua ". Caldwell of Ten nessee, the speakers of the convention. MT. Holmes advocated government own ership of forests.
 The Appalachian park convention to- night drafted the following resolutions and memorial to congress:
 Resolved, That this convention heartily approves the action of congress in es- tabhshing the great national. forest re- serves in the western states and territo- ries, and the more recent action of con gress Tn providing for the construction of great system of irrigation works in these states.
 This convention asked the cooperation of the senators and representatives in congress from the western states in se- curing the passage of the Appalachian Forest Reserve bill now before congress In consideration of the fact of the rapid and steadily increasing rate at which the forests on the southern Appalachian mountains are being destroyed this con vention urges upon congress the prompt passage of the bill now before the house of representatives providing for the es- tablishing of the National Appalachian Forest Reserve as the only possible means of overcoming the existing and increrasing evils.

HARVARD HELD TO
 ONE TOUGH DOWN
Brown Shows Herself to Be One of the Best Teams In the Country and
 Plays a Strong Game.

Cambridge. Mass. October 25.--Harvard was held to a single touch down by Brown, on Soldiers field today, but on the whole played much better football than the team from Providence. Twice the Crimson eleven was within striking distance of the Brown goal, but a fum- ble and a mistake in signals prevented additional scoring. On the other hand Brown was unable to get within forty three yards of the Crimson goal line and in the second half played entirely on their own side of the field. Harvard had the ball almost continually and did considerable rushing. Three end runs of Herman and three dashes of Marshell through broken fields from punts, were the features of the game. The Harvard line was steadier than in any other game this year, and only once during the game was held for downs.
 Over 10000 persons saw the game.

GEORGIA CAN'T SCORE
 AGAINST THE TECHS
Two Teams From the Cracker State Play Each Other to a Standstill.
 Fine Offensive Work.

Atlanta, October 25-In the hardest fought game of the season, characterized by strong offensive work and quick, steady and sure defense. the football teams of the University of Georgia and the Georgia School of Technology failed to score here today in their annual foot ball game.
 In the two twenty and fifteen minute hales of the game the ball was carried up and down the field, sometimes in the hands of the Georgia Technology school, only to be lost on downs to the wearers of the red and black of the University of Georgia, who after hard played gains would loose the ball on not making the required distance. The big tackles of the university team were brought back of the line and hurled at the Technology ends which met them with defense they could not pass. while the revolving wedge of the Pathological school which had worked well previously, was torn to pieces by the university boys, leaving the runner with Varsity man to throw him back.
 Both teams played straight football

COLUMBIA GIVES
 PRINCETON A FIGHT
In the Hardest Game of the Year the Tigers Defeat Their Sturdy op-
 ponents by Score of 21 to 0.

Princeton, N. J. October 25.-Princeton defeated Columbia here today 21 to in the hardest game that Princeton has played this season. Immediately after the kickoff Princeton started in on q series of heavy line attacks, and after ten minutes of this style of play, supple mented with a few brilliant end runs, Foulke got to Columbia's right end for the first touchdown. Both teams played hard and fast throughout this half and at times Columbia made big garns through Princetons center and left, but the latter always forced the visitors 10 punt before their goal was endangered.
 Both in offensive and defensive work Princeton excelled, and in bunting Smith was no match at all for Dewitt Prince ton was badly crippled. Burke and Na- fer received broken collar bones. WeeKes was also badly injured.
 The features of the game were the 45- yard run by Foul1e, the running back or punts by Burke, the line smashing of Weekes, R. M. McClave and I<afer, s. McClave's 20-yard run and DeWitts bunting.

time. The delay is attributed to the existence of a state of war in Colombia, but 1t is now expected that the country soon will be so far pacified that a general election can be held and that the con- gress can be assembled during the win ter months In this state of backward ness as to ratification little attention has been given here to the composition of the United States canal commission, not withstanding the fact that owing to the dignity and desirability of the places thereon there have been many tentative applications for appointment.
 The one fact relative to the commission that has developed is that Rear Admiral Walker, who has headed the two preced- ing commissions, will be the president of the new commission. It was at one time suggested that Gen. Leonard Wood was to have this place, having in view his peculiar ability as an executive officer and as a sanitary director, but it is now said that he prefers to remain in his military surroundings and assume com mand of one of the important military departments The sanitary work out lined by him, therefore, VIII be under taken by one of the regular army sur geons, who has had experience in tropical countries and Admiral Walker will re- tain his connection with the important work which he initiated several years ago.

 The disorder spread to the gun teams, which were driven back. Captain Angus was killed while serving a gun. Colonel Cobbe, with single Somali sergeant, con- tinued serving Maxim, and when Col onel Swayne (the British commander in Somaliland and commander of the expedi- tion) led a splendid charge, checked the Mullah's hordes and recaptured some ol the transports, but he was unable to recover the Maxim. The British then formed a zareba and sent out parties to collect the scattered transports.
 The enemy later tried to get away with the captured camels, but Colonel Swayne took out three companies, and after a sharp fight, recovered the majority Of them and picked up seventy rifles.
