HARVARD PINES FOR REVENGE.

Much has been said since the Yale game regard

universities. Many rumors have been circulated
that have been entirely without foundation. and
many others authentic but entirely non-committal,
have added no new light to the situation. Harvard

the matter as they were ard one and all they
are eagerly awaiting some definite news eoncerninS

what expect. Evidently, however, all this pre-
crastination ard delay has not been without
A shTewd observer, looking at the sltu2fton as
it stands, would say almost without hess !-ation
that some hitch other has arisen between Har-
Yards and Yale's athletic authorities. Otherwise
why did they not to agreement long ago?
Evidently there is something upon which they can
apart The undergraduates are doing everything
in their power to bring the matter TO maj and
peaceful settlement. Then why is that settlement
not reached? Evidently because the athletic
authorities themselves do not wish 1t so.
The conjecture at Harvard concerning the agree

Chicago, Nov. 3O.-A vigorous examination with
a view to determining the causes that led TO the
explosion of Swift & Co.'S boiler plant yesterday,

that Owens, the water tender. who paid the pen
atty of death for his supposed carelessness, was
responsible for the catastrophe.
The great force produced by the explosion and
other deductions led the conclusion that the
water had been allowed to get low in the boilers
and that when effort was made to supply the
deficiency the explosion, resulting In the demolition

REPLIES TO PRESIDENT ELIOT.
THE REV MR.. GRANT DECLARES HIS AT
TACK ON SCHOOLS WAS UNFAIR.

The Rev. Percy stickney Grant, rector OF the
Church OF the Ascension. preached last night at
his church, Eifth-ave and Tenth-st., on the att-
tude Of educators toward public schools. He said
in part:
President Eliot of Harvard University few
weeks ago in a convention of school teachers in
Connecticut took occasion to arragn the pubic
sweeping moral revolution. He complained that

the barbarous vice of drunkenness, has injured the
