AWAITING NEWS
FROM THE CAR
RUSSIAN EMBASSY ISSUES STATE
MENT CONCERNING THE FIR
ING ON THE BRITISH FISH
ING FLEET.

LONDON, oct. 24--The Russian
Embassy has issued the following
statement regarding; the North Sea
incident:
admiral Rodzestvensly was IN
doubtedly not responsible for the or
der to fire, as he had gone ahead with,
the first section of the fleet.
s'The fact probably is thar the fleet
did not see the lights OF lhe fishing
fleet and mistook the rocket fired
from one of the travellers for hos.
tile signal,
THE fact that the leet steamed
away after firing was probably due to
the belief thatno damage had been
done

WHAT WILL HE Do
WITH THE BEEF TRUST?
Roosevelt Has This Question Under
Amusement.

Roosevelt Has This Question Under
Amusement.
Washington, Nov. 10.-Ten thousand
congratulatory messages have been re-
ceived by President Roosevelt. Not
Withstanding their immense number,
the President has decided that each
one is to be answered and this work
will require, perhaps, several weeks.
President Roosevelt received to-day
an undiminished number of callers. At
torney General Moody and James r.
Garfield, commissioner of corporations,
We're among the visitors. Later they
will take up with the President the
work of Mr.. Garfield's bureau, con-
corning which the President will have
some recommendations to make to Con-
gress in his annual message.
The investigation of the beef trust
instituted by the bureau of corpora
tions at the instance of Congress, prac-
tically has been completed. No init
nation is given as to the nature of the
report or of what recommendations, if
any, Mr.. Garfield may submit. 1t can
be said authoritatively that any sug-
gestions that legal action may be taken
by the government against the beef
trust or against any aggregation of
capital, as a result of the investiga-
tions made by the bureau of corpora
tions, are premature. No decision vet
has been reached and none will be
reached until the report has been con-
sidered thoroughly by the President
and his advisers

QUESTION OF MOROCCO
Was Discussed in the French Cham.
Der of Deputies.

Der of Deputies.
Paris, Nov. 10.-Foreign Minister
Delcasse, discussing the Moorish ques-
tion III the Chamber of Deputies to-
day, said the base of Frances colonial
empire was in the Mediterranean. Mo-
rocco, under French influence, meant
Algeria strengthened; under foreign in
huence, it meant Algeria continually
threatened. The problem was how to
establish French innuence-in other
words, strengthen Frances power in
the Mediterranean without offending
the Powers,
I'VE have silently pursued the real
izatton of this aim,' NJ. Delcasse said.
and have wasted no time or efforts
We are now united with Italy in firm
friendship. We have made with Spain
an arrangement dictated by respect
Tor international equity and desire for
the peaceful perpetuation of Morocco
This ARRANGEMENT is based on the in
tegrity of Morocco and the suzerainty
of the Sultan. What we concede is
valuable only to England; what Eng
land comedies is valuable only to us.
The world is now convinced that
French policy seeks Frances advan.
tage only through harmony, which Is
beneficial to ALL"
Before the chamber rose. Premier
Combes announced that he brought in
the name of the President of the re.
public, a bill for the separation OF
church and state.

Sons of Italy Are to Read the Book
of Roosevelt.
Rome, Nov 10.-The election of Mr..
Roosevelt to the presidency of the
United States has been made the &C.
casion for the issuance of an Italian
translation of his book, THE Strenuous
Life" which is having a large sale. The
newspapers of Rome print appreciative
articles on the election of President
Roosevelt.
The Csservatore Romano, official
organ of the Vatican, says: "Mr.
Roosevelt, while an eminent states
man, able diplomatist and eloquent
writer Is showing depth and broad
ness. He stands out for simplicity of
life, love of family and rectitude of
principles. Therefore, IL is easy to
understand the manifestations of re-
joicing over his election in which
numerous Catholics in the great re-
public join, having nothing to say of
him but of praise"

With to-morrow's games the football
season reaches it's zenith and the de-
cisive battles of the gridiron will be
fought in the East and West while
there remains a few important games
in the South.
There are three great games III
which local interest centers, First of
these is the Tech-Georgia game at
Atlanta. While the outcome of this
contest is almost assured to favor
Tech, supporters of the Red and Black
here hope there will be a surprise in
this season of surprises, and that Geor-
gia will win. There is nothing on which
to build such hope, unless it be that
Georgia has improved wonderfully in
the last seven days.
Georgia will go into the game much
heavier than the perfect fighting ma
chine which Heisman has moulded with
his master skill. The excess in weight
is said to be about 51a pounds per man,
which is an advantage not to be over
looked. Against this weight Heisman
will match his ingenuity and trickery
in a team which has shown wonderful
strength in its first year under him.
The score in this game should be about
16 to 0 in favor of Tech.
In the East the browning event of
the spectacular season will take place
at Princeton when the orange and
black and the blue will be engaged BY
the majority Yale is picked to win. Just
why has not appeared. Such a selec-
ton is certainly not supported by the
records of the two teams so far this
season. 1t may be because there are
such Well-known veterans on the team
as Bloomer, Hogan, Shevlin and others
who are known to be all that is good
in football.
But Princeton has builded again of
younger men, with that dash and vim
that has won so many games for them
already. They are men who have not
yet taken football gone back" as is
50 often the case with men who have
played one or two seasons. Indeed
Capt. Hogan found great difficulty in
holding his position on the Yale var
sity, and would no doubt have lost had
1t not been for his superior knowledge
and the inspiration he had for the 9TH
er players.
According to the scores, which are
printed here, Princeton has made a
record which shows that the Blue will
not have such an easy task as many
believe.
At Ann Arbor to-day Chicago and
Michigan will battle for the champion
ship OF the Middle West. Yost and
stage have worked hard for the game.
with Yost now looking as the probable
winner. At any rate, the struggle will
be a bitter one, and Capt. Heston and
his men will have hard work with the
heavy team Stage has coached.

an easy winner in this event, and was
brought back to the post for the final
brush with MIR. Exleys bay pacing
mare Murenne.
They were off to an even break and
away they went. followed by a cloud
of dust aud a half hundred vehicles.
Many OF the spectators were located
near the finish line. and as the two
horses came down the road there did
not seem to be an inch difference in
their position. Just before crossing
the tape the big gelding made a final
squirt and nosed the mare out for first
place.
Mr. Thomas Mcdonnell, who was a
substantial hacker of the gelding, was
one of the happiest men on the pike.
More races of this nature will be pull
ed off later.

FOOTBALL SEASON REACHES ITS
ZENITH WITH TO-MORROWS GAMES
SAVANNAH TEAM WILL
NOT PLAY GEORGIA,

Players Say They Do Not Feel They
Have Been Treated Right.
After consulting with Capt Cope,
and the players on the Savannah foot
ball team, Manager McIntire yesterday
formally notified Manager Hull, of the
Georgia University eleven, that Savan-
nah would not accent the Mississippi
Colleges discarded date, and had de-
cided to worry along through the rest
of the season without game from
Georgia.
There is. however, a strong senti-
ment here favoring a game with Geor-
gia. provided one can be arranged after
Thanksgiving, and if Georgia wants a
date, and makes application for it, ii is
believed the management of the Savan-
nah team. and the players, will recon-
slider. Savannah has certainly done all
that could be expected under the cir
cumstances.
