The Yale-Harvard Contest.

Boston, Nov. 2l.-At 2 O'Clock this
afternoon the Harvard and Yale elevens
will face each other while nearly 1000
people look down upon the scene with
that intense interest that great college
athletic event always awakens. 1t will
be the most memorable scene in the history
of American college sport, whatever may
be the outcome of the game. The dawn
was clear and bright and the air was
crisp and invigorating. Twenty-Five
special trains arrived during the night,
bringing from New York, New Haven
and otherplaces hundreds of enthusiastic
excursionists. 1t is estimated that 10, 900
people will not be able to gain admission

THE SENATE. The Senate held its
longest sitting of the session yesterday,
beginning at noon and concluding at
3:15 p. m. The entire time was con-
sumed in debating a motion to refer the
Cuban reciprocity bill to the committee
On foreign relations. The political line
was sharply drawn in the discussion, the
republicans advocating such reference
and the democrats contending that the
measure should go to the committee on
finance. The motion to refer to the
committee on foreign relations finally
prevailed without division. The debate
served to bring out some incidental re-
ferences to the merits of the bill, and
while it was in progress Mr.. Teller took
occasion to correct published reports that
he has hope Of defeating the bill or that
he intends to unduly obstruct its con-
sideration. Mr.. Allison and Mr.. Al
drich announced their willingness 10
have the bill 60 to the foreign relations
committee, but they united in an ex-
preston of opinion that such reference
should form no precedent for the reference
of revenue bills in the future. Mr..
Allison also denied that there was any
purpose of revising the tariff by recipro
city treaties.

CHILD BURNED TO DEATH.-A fire
Thursday night about 1890 o'clock at
the residence of Mr.. b. II. Fowle, at
Kensington, Nd, very seriously burned
Mrs. Fowle and the two youngest child
rem of the family, one of whom has since
died, and did considerable damage to the
dwelling, the property of Mrs. Mary f.
Constant of Washington. The 6reis said
TO have originated from lighted candle
carried by one of the boys of the family.
1t is thought the lace curtains took fire
first. The two children who were injured
were asleep in the room where the boy
had taken a candle 10 get some apples,
and not until the boy had returned to
the lower part of the house did he know
there was fire. The screaming of the
two children attracted his attention, and
he quickly ran upstairs. Seeing the flames
he went after his mother, and she, rush.
ing into the burning room, caught up the
two children and carried them out, and
later they were removed to the home of
Mr.. and Mrs. L. NJ. Milliken, just across
the street Mr.. Fowle was at the
time in Washington on business. He
could, not be reached by wire and
did not return until after the fire had
been extinguished and the wounds of his
wife and children had been dressed.
Mrs. Fowle and the youngest child are
doing we'll. The damage to building and
furniture is estimated at about 81, 600.
Mr.. and Mrs. Fowle formerly lived
in this city, where they have many re-
latives and friends, who will be dis
tressed at reading the above.
