N NAVIGATION.
Preparations Being Mad to Ship Coal
by Water Route.

NORRISTOWN, Pa, Oct. The Schuyl-
kill river and canal will become the chan
mel Of a great volume of business I'm the
event of the early settlement of the coal
strike. For a number Of years there have
been few boats operated in the SchuylkilI
canal. the bulk of the coal being carried
on the railroad. But a great revival is at
hand, judging from the activity along the
river. The canal has not been in as good re-
pair In a dozen years. The Schuylkill Navi-
cation Company, an adjunct of the Reading
Railway, has forces of men engaged put
ting in new gates and locks. and making re-
pairs where needed. Every craft that can
be secured is being prepared and pressed
into service, as the demand for coal will be
unprecedented when the mining is fully re-
sumed.
There are rumors of a trolley system he
ing established to operate the boats nv
means OF an overhead electric wire strung
on arms projected from poles planted along
the towpath.

HARVARD in POOR FORM
AMHERST OLD THE CRIMSON
DOWN TO SIX POINTS.
Yale Piles Up a Score of 30 to o
Against MISUNDERSTANDING Big
S~c0re-Other Wednesday Games.

CAMBRIDGE, Mass, Oct. S.-The Am
herst football team, which was defeated.
% to o, by Yale, held Harvard down to 6
points to-day, and much of the m SEEM
ingly outplayed the Crimson eleven. In
the middle of the second half Harvard
pushed the ball to Amherst's eight-yard
line, where Lindsay was sent through for
the only touchdown Of the game. Barnard
kicked an easy goal.
Twice Harvard was within scoring dis
lance, but a tumble or the fine defense of
the visitors prevented a touchdown. The
interference of the Crimson team was poor
ly formed. while the ball started very slow
ly and failed to take advantage Of the
holes opened up by the linemen. On the
other hand, Amherst played a snappy
game, forcing Harvard to kick a lumber
of times, and, although not getting within
the Crimson twenty-five-yard line, Kept
Harvard continually on the jump.
The game opened very favorapiy Ior
Amherst, for after the kick-off Washpurn
gained twenty-six yards around Jones's
end and, aided by two center plays, brought
the ball to Harvard's forty-yard line.
After another gain of eight yards a ium.
BILE gave the ball to Harvard. Amherst
was steadily pushed back TO her hfteen-
yard line, but a tumble by Tenney gave the
ball to Amherst. But the visitors could
not gain, and hen Marshall tried a goal
from the field from Amherst's twenty
yard line, being directly in front of the
goal posts. The ball went wide, and the
half ended with the ball in Harvard's pos
session on her own thirty-yard line.
In the middle of the second half Lindsay
took the ball through Amherst's right
tackle eight yards for a touchdown. Bar
nard kicked a goal. From this point Har-
ward played much stronger, but was only
able to get to Amherst's three-yard line
when time was called. Lineup:

PHILADELPHIA, Oct. S.-The visit to
this city of the committee representing the
National Association of Manufacturers for
the purpose OF comforting with the presi-
dents of the anthracite coal carrying roads
who last week met President Roosevelt and
the official of the miners union at WASH
ington. appears to nave been fruitless. The
committee arrived here early this morning
and spent the greater part or the day at
the Manufacturers Club, awaiting the APP
pearance Of the presidents. but none or
the latter answered, in person. at least,
the request of the committee for a confer
ence. Their the committee issued the fol-
lowing vague statement:
THE committee of the National Associa-
ton of Manufacturers came to Philadelphia
after meeting John Mitchell and his associ-
ates at Buffalo on Tuesday for the purpose
of considering measures by which the coal
strike could be ended. and this committee

After the members of the mmi had

Mr.. Baer's reply is not known. but in ans
wer TO a question the railroad president
said: 81 know nothing about a commit

statement.
President Parry said invitations to meet

presidents who had met President Roose-
welt last week and that favorable replies
had been received from three of them.
He would not. however. divulge their
names.
During the afternoon President Parry,
in an interview, said: The strike has
reached what we now believe is the crisis.
We were in hopes of meeting the operators
to-day, but owing to the short notice they
received they were unable to be present."

Conference mt New York.

NEW YORK, Oct. s.-President John

ISOLATION. arrived at the Pennsylvania
depot In Jersey City tonight, having come
on a Lehigh Valley train from Wilkes
barre. Pa. With him were District Pres
idents Nichols. Fahey and Duffy. They

Mr.. Mitchell had the appearance of hav-
ing been under severe mental and physical
strain. but assured q~uestioners that he was
I'm good health. though tired.
At 10 o'clock Mr.. Mitchell called up
wilkesbarre by telephone. the reason being
that he had expected some kilograms which
he did not find awaiting him.. Shortly after
this he turned to the newspaper men and
said:
Information has been conveyed TO me by
telephone that a total of $50 local unions
have reported unanimous votes against re-
Stunning work. The men are not deferred
from going TO work through any fear or
bodily harm. but are resolved 10 remain
out until the differences between them and
the operators are arbftrated or until they
are ordered TO return by their leaders.
1Ibis leaves not more than forty or fifty
1q unions to hear from yet. The unani-
III action includes the votes of strikers
nd Yembers Of the union. but who were
preSht at the meetings and voted with the
union men,"
AT IL o'clock President Mitchell and two
OF the district presidents went from the
Ashland House 10 the ~Fifth-avenue Hotel.
where Senators quay and Penrose. OF
Pennsylvania, and Louis N. Hammerling.
of Wilkesbarre. Pa, were registered.
President MitchelFs conference with Sem
ators Penrose and Quay lasted for an hour
and three-quarters. At it's conclusion Mr..
Mitchell returned to the Ashland House.
He declined to say a word as to his talk
with the clerk at the Fffth-avenue Hotel
that they would not see any one, instruct
ing the clerk TO refuse the cards of any
persons who might wish to interview them.

YALE SUBS ARE WEAK.
Wesleyan Rarely Misses Scoring I'm
the Second Half.

NEW HAVEN. Conn.,, Oct. S.-Yale de-
feated Wesleyan to-day in ar interesting
game in which there was the widest d.
vergence between the two halves. The
score was: Yale, IS; Wesleyan, o.
The early part of the game showed Yale
much stronger and able to gain ground
at will for almost any distance. The score
at the end of the first half was % to 0. In
the second half Wesleyan seemed to realize
that the substitutes which Captain Chad
wick put in were not their equals. They
aimed tackle plays at first one man and
then another of the substitutes and made
big holes in the Yale line, through which
they gained ground in surprisingly easy
fashion. But Wesleyan was not able to
keep it up, being lighter. Twice. however.
the ball was landed close enough to Yale's
goal to make trys for a field goal. Each
time, however. Rogers, full back. failed.
Once the ball was kicked accurately for
distance, but not with force enough to
send it over the posts. The second effort
Toward the end Wesleyan seemed likely to
score. The Yale substitutes were playing
a demoralized game. and tackle plays
which Wesleyan used gave her apparently
an opportunity to score. With the ball in
their possession not more than fifteen
yards from Yale's goal Wesleyan lost hat
opportunity because time was up. The
~touchdowns which Yale made were secured
in much the same style of game that has
characterized play earlier in the season,
being very simple football, end runs and
line bucking. TIL features of the game
were Metcalf's run of forty-five yards with
the ball caught on Rogers's kick off, and
in the second half Wards magnificent run
of more than 100 yards. Ward also caught
the ball of a kickoff on Yale's seven-yard
line and dashed for goal. He distanced
all pursuers by sheer endurance after he
lodged the ends.
Just before the end Of the game the ball
was tossed back for a kick. 1t went over
the full backs head and back of the goal
line. The referee called the play a safety
instead of a touchdown and therefore
raised Yale's score to 50. Lineup:

severe Measure to Float Soft Coal

CINCINNATI, Oct S.-Temporary relief
from the pressure of the coal scarcity in
Cincinnati is in sight in a novel way.
Eight towboats at Point Pleasant, at the
mouth of the Kanawha river, are ready to
start between midnight and daylight to-

The rise in the Ohio is to be augmented
by throwing down all the dams in the
