sIx MONTHS FOR BILsEN.
A tssrmsn Lieutenant Punishsd for Re
 veaiing Abuses.

Berlin, Nov. 1.-The military court at Metz, to-day, concluded the trial of Lieutenant Bilsen, author of the book entitled "A Little Garrison" and sen- tenced the lieutenant to six months in prison and to dismissal from the army. One month, the time the officer has al- ready spent In prison, was allowed to be deducted from the sentence. The novel was ordered to be destroyed.
 The decision of the court was based on the fact that Tn his novel Lieutenant Bilsen insulted his superior officers and drew such picture N events happen ing in Forbach, in Alsace-Lorraine, that personages living in that place were compromised. The court further says that the lieutenant disobeyed an order of Emperor William forbidding any officer to publish a pamphlet with out the permission of his military su- periors ~
 Several officers of the regiment to which Lieutenant Bilsen belonged have agreed among themselves to challenge him to duels.
 The Tageblatt says that Captain Ban- del, who testified in Bilsen's favor, has been suspended. Lieutenant Bilsen will endeavor to have the case reopened.

SMITH DECLARED INELIGIBLE.
Harvnrd's Protest sustained Too Late-
 An offciai Statement.

Philadelphia, Nov. 11.-A. T. Smith, the star fullback of the University Of Pennsylvania football team, who played in the game against Harvard last Sat- urday despite the protest entered by Harvard's captain that he was ineligi- ble. was to-day disqualified by the fac- ulty athletic committee The following statement was issued by the faculty committee of which Vice Provost Ed- gar F. Smith is chairman:
 "The faculty committee on athletics of the University of Pennsylvania, at meeting held to-day, decided on the in formation received within the previous twenty-four hours that A. T. Smith, having played as representative os State college in two games after the State college-P Pennsylvania game, was ineligible to represent Pennsylvania this season, and he has therefore been disqualified
 "A note explaining the circumstances has been sent to the colleges against whom Pennsylvania has played this autumn, expressing the regret of the committee that 1t had not earlier the information on which it's present action is based
 Smith was a student at State college last year and played on the State col lege football team against Pennsyl- vania. Immediately afterward he en- tered the sophomore class In chemistry at Pennsylvania, but did not play on the Pennsylvania team because of the one year residence rule. He played all this season, and Harvard protested him on the ground that he had not been at Pennsylvania one year. Pennsylvania replied that Smiths case had been in- vestigated by committee of prominent alumni and that this committee had re- ported the conclusion that he had re- sided one academic year at the univer- sity. Harvard then dropped the mat ter.
 The two games Smith is alleged to have played on the State college team after he took out matriculaion papers at Pennsylvania were with Yale and Annapolis. The point that Smith play ed on State college after entering Penn- sylvania was not made by Harvard in her protest, probably because it was not known to the Cambridge authori- ties

 Early This nTorning.
 Chicago. Nov. 11.-A general strike of the 5000 employees of the Chicago City railway was decided upon tonight at a mass meeting of the men. They will quit work at o'clock tomorrow morn ing.
 This decision was reached after con- troversy that has lasted for over two weeks between the representatives of the union and the management of the railway.

The demands of the union were for wage increase of 25 per cent, recognition of the union and several other minor con- sessions.

IN CHAMBERLAIN'S TOWN
FREE TRADERS CARRY CAM
 PAIGN INTO BIRMINGHAM.
Fears of Serious Trouble Not FuiflIIed- Every PrecautiOn Taken to Prevent Disorder ,O0O Persons surround Hel.-ChamberIain Name Cheered Every Time It is Mentioneds

Birmingham, Nov. 11.-There was no fulfillment of the serious trouble ex- pected at the meeting addressed here tonight by Lord Hugh Cecil and Win ston Churchill, M. F., in opposition to the fiscal programme of Joseph Cham berlain. 1t is estimated that the crowds surrounding the town hall during the progress of the meeting numbered 40,000 persons. A few stones were thrown and some windows broken, but it is be- lieved that the prevention of more seri- ous disorders was due to the earnest appeal of the supporters of MT. Cham berlain, supplemented by the advice of the local newspapers to give the free fooders" fair hearing, as well as to the excellent police arrangements.
 The meeting was attended by five thousand persons. Mrs. George Corn wallis West, formerly Lady Randolph Churchill and mother of Winston Churchill, was in the audience.
 MT. Churchill devoted his speech to a denunciation of Mr. Chamberlain's propaganda and urged the continuation of the free-trade policy of Great Brit ain, which. he said, had done more to maintain the peace of the world than had been done by all the prime minis ters and colonial secretaries during the past half century. Every mention by Mir. Churchill of Joseph Chamberlain's name was greeted with cheers. His statement that Great Britain was pros- porous and her trade good was received with both misses and cheers. Cana dian and Australian loyalty" said Mi. Churchill, had already been proved on veldt and kopje. It could not be bought at two shillings per quarter"
 Lord Hugh Cecil followed Mir. Churchill, delivering a speech in sim liar vein. I
 A resolution denouncing the proposed protective tariff and admitting the right of the government to impose re- taliatory duties in special cases was carried by a large majority.
 At the close of the meeting the great crowd outside the town hall dispersed good-naturedly, singing national songs and cheering for Joseph Chamberlain.
 Though the visit to Birmingham of Lord Hugh Cecil and MT. Churchill did not result in any breach of the peace, 1t was feared by the police that an out- break would occur similar to the riot sous proceedings which marked the pro-. Boer meeting at which David Lloyd George, M. F.. denounced Mr. Chamber lain and the South African war. Dur ing the day sandwich men paraded the streets with plaeards reading, Shall. the radicals be allowed to oppose our Joe?" and inviting the working people to attend. Strong barricades were erected around the town hall, but their employment was found to be unneces- Sary. =s

FEAR A GENERAL REDUCTION
UNEASINESs oYER WAGE CUT AT
 FALL RIVER. s

May Follow suit-Those in Eastern Connecticut and Rhode Island About Certain To-The Reduction Ten Per Cent. hitch Makes n Return to the l Schedule of Two Years Ago. Boston, Nov. 11.-Reports from the centers of the cotton mill industry throughout New England indicate that to-day's announcement at Fall River that a 10 per cent. reduction in wages had been decided upon by the cotton manufacturers there. to go into effect November 23 has caused general uneasi- ness, due to the belief that an equal re- duction at other places is inevitable. It is conceded that this will be the case in Rhode Island and eastern Connecti- cut. and other cities in eastern Massa- chusetts, it is thought. may follow the example set by Fall River, though their cases are somewhat dissimilar. In I1ullLoI1 ilc ColE MdnuLaGtuIlHS COlil- pany has alseady announced 10 per cent. reduction, and while the mill men at New Bedford. Lowell and Lawrence are reticent concerning their plans, they admit that She condition os the cotton market is all against the manufacturers which is equivalent to saying that a wage reduction is something to be seri- ously considered. The situation in Maine and New Hampshire will hardly be affected. Maine did not share in the wage advance of two years ago and SO has negative advantage now. The mill agents at Manchester, N. H., say that retrenchment has not been thought of so far.
 Representatives of labor unions in Fall River and other cities do not ap- pear to anticipate any concerted action on the part of the unions in opposition to the new schedule. The union men have kept themselves well informed as to the state of the market and to-day's announcement at Fall River occasioned little surprise.
 While not admitting, perhaps, the me- cessity for so sweeping reduction, it is doubtful if any considerable number would join in a fight with the mill agents at this time.
 While the outlook at Fall River from the operatives standpoint is rather gloomy one, it should be remembered that the new schedule is really return to the conditions existing two years ago, when an advance was made by the manufacturers. It was this advance in Fall River that led to the great strike in Lowell last spring. The Lowell oper- ators demanded the Fall River sched- ule. which was refused. Now the Fall River operatives will be put practically in the same position as other operatives In eastern Massachusetts.
 The present scale went into effect March F. 1902. The price for weaving regular goods to-day is 21.78 cents per cut, and ten per cent. reduction would make the new price 19.6 cents. The old price previous to the date given was 1o.S and this latter figure will prevail after November 23.

New York, Nov. 11.-A report that J. P. Morgan is to retire from business 1t the close of the year and go to England to live was denied authoritatively at the office of J. P. Morgan & Co. to-day. It Is characterized as mot only untrue, but ridiculous" It may have arisen from rumor, circulated and discredit- ed yesterday, that MT. Morgan is to leave for Europe tomorrow. There have been number of reports lately, always denied, that there is to be. a change in the firm on the first of the year. The frequent presence of MT. Bacon, who retired last January on &C., count of temporary ill-health, in MT. Morgan's office lately started a rumor that he may return to membership in the firm.

ENTHUSIASM AT PRACTICE
THOUSAND STUDENTS MARCH TO
 FIELD IN A BODY.

Mitchell Make Brilliant showing in
 Kicking Goals From Fisld- O Hciais
 for Saturdays Game.
 Seldom has more enthusiasm been displayed on the eve of a Yale-Prince- ton game than was shown yesterday afternoon by the college men, Nearly a thousand men formed on Chapel street in front of Osborn hall, and, headed by band, marched to Yale field singing the new football songs and cheering the members of the team. On their arrival at the field each of the varsity men was repeatedly cheered and the songs were rehearsed.
 The varsity lined up only for signal practice, and this was in secret. Two scrub teams then lined up for short skirmish, neither side scoring during the playing. Bowman was played at left half-back on the first scrub team The freshmen were also lined up against scrub eleven for 8 ten-minute half, but neither side scored here either, owing to the fun1bling of the scrubs.
 One of the best exhibitions of kicking goals from the field given at Yale field in ten years or more was displayed by Bowman and Mitchell. For ten consec- utive times Bowman kicked goals from the forty and forty-hve-yard lines without misplay. Mitchell also made brilliant showing, dropping a number from the thirty and thirty-five-yard lines.
 After the exhibition given by Bow man it is about safe to say that he will be seen in the back field Saturday at some stage of the game, for if he can do the trick then as he did 1t yesterday. he will be a valuable man.
 The following will officiate at the game: Referee, McClung, LeIigh; un1- pire, John Minds, Pennsylvania; lines- man, Edward Wrightington, Harvard; Yale timer, T. B. Hull; the Princeton timer has not yet been announced
