MRS. CHADWICK THREATENS
WANTS CHANCE TO TELL 4 FEY
 MORE THINGS.

Requests Referee of the Federal Bank
 ruptcy Court to Set Day for Re-
 opening of Her Case-Nun1ber of Fi-
 nanciers, She Says, Who Benefited
 Largely Through Dealings With Her.
 Cleveland. Nov. 27.--Mrs. Cassie D. Chadwick has expressed the desire to go on the witness stand again in con- nection with the bankruptcy proceed ings against her, and to-day wrote a letter to Referee Remington, of the fed eral bankruptcy court, requesting him to set date for reopening her case. Mrs. Chadwick declares that, if the op- portunity is again given her to go on the stand, she will tell, without reser- vation, all the facts concerning her financial dealings. For various reasons, Mrs. Chadwick said in an intervitw this evening, she had declined to give much desired information at her previ- ous hearing in bankruptcy. Now, how ever, she said, nothing will be conceal ed and no one shielded
 Tt has been repeatedly stated" said Mrs. Chadwick, ''that I borrowed more than three million dollars. Whether or not this is true will be shown when I again take the stand in the bankruptcy court
 Continuing, Mrs. Chadwick said: If the supreme court at Washington de- cides against me, and I am compelled to go to the penitentiary, I shall, be- fore leaving Cleveland, give out some additional information that will doubt less prove of interest. There are a number of financiers who benefited very largely through their dealings with me. If I am to be punished it is no more than right that some of these men should suffer with me, for if there was any violation of the law they are as guilty as I am."

U. S. OFFICIAL ASSAULTED.
Secretary of the American Embassy at
 St. PetersbuFg.

St. Petersburg. Nov. H.-5 D. m.- Robert Woods Bliss, second secretary of the American embassy, who has just returned here after three months vaca- tion in Paris, was the victim of an out rage by rowdies in one of the most fashionable streets of the capital late last night, and escaped being beaten to death owing to the timely arrival of the police.
 MT. Bliss was returning to the en- bassy on foot from the yacht club. On the Horse Guard boulevard, opposite the barracks of the Chevalier Guard, he was suddenly set upon by two men who sprang out of the darkness of the trees. Mr. Bliss knocked down one of his assailants, but was seized by sym pathizers with the rowdies who had been attracted to the spot by the dis turbance, and he was getting the worst of it when three policemen and a house porter came to MT. Bliss rescue and fought off and seized his assailants. The rapidly gathering crowd, however, which promptly sided against the po- lice, rushed at the officers and rescued the prisoner. The police managed to stand off the crowd and cover the re- treat of MT. Bliss, who was badly cut about the face, but not seriously in- jured.

MARSHALL FIELD, JR., DEAD.
Only Son of MuIti-MilIiOnaire Expires
 from Bullet Wound.

Chicago, Nov. 27.-Marshall Field, jr., died at o'clock tonight at Mercy hos pital.
 MT. Field, who was the only son of Marshall Field, the multi-millionaire of this city, was accidentally shot on the afternoon of Wednesday, November 22. He was examining a new revolver which he had purchased, when 1t was discharged, the bullet striking him in the right side, perforating the liver and spleen and injuring the spinal cord. He was hurried to Mercy hospital, where an operation was at once performed and the bullet removed. The physicians from the first entertained but slight hopes of ultimate recovery, although the patient for two days seemed to hold his own. At 9 o'clock this morning a decided change for the worse took place and MT. Field grew rapidly weaker un- til his death.
 Coroner Peter Hoffmann tonight en- panelled jury at Mercy hospital, where MT. Field died, to hold an in- quest next Friday afternoon.

SINKING INTO SEA.
Island Continues to Disappear in Ja-
 maica Bay.

matca Bays
 New York, Nov. 27.-The unusual cir cumstances of parts of an inhabited isl- and sinking into the sea, with buildings toppling over into the water, had a con- tinuation to-day on Barren Island, in Jamaica Bay. The tide to-day cut an- other piece of land off the end of the island, and part of another building floated out toward the Atlantic ocean,
 Last Saturday two buildings and the land they stood upon slid into this tide, and on Sunday about 2,000 more square feet of land crumbled away before the action of the waters. When the tide began to come in this morning 1t was seen that the land under building of the New York Sanitary and Utilization company would probably crumble, and a gang of men was set at work with saws cutting rafters and beams near the center of the structure, thus prac- tically saving it in two. The founda- tions were washed out from under one side of the structure, so that the more exposed half of the building fell over into the water.
 It floated away, leaving the other half standing, saved temporarily, at least. An immense new bulkhead is now be- ing built with all possible speed to form 8 breakwater against the tide. Unusu- ally high tides and the rotting away of the old breakwater caused the island to begin to melt away.

VICTORY FOR HEARST.
Decision Which May Yet Land Him the
 Flee tiOn.

New York, Nov. H.-Justice Gieger- ich in the supreme court to-day handed down an opinion on the question of counting ballots which have marks in the circle of the republican ticket and the circle over MT. Jerome's name and also in the voting space before w. R. Hearst's name and in the voting space before MT. Jerome's name, the ques- ,tion being whether the additional mark in the circle above MT. Jerome's name name affects the ballot. Justice Gie- gerich decided that it did not, the in- tention of the voter being clearly shown to vote for Hearst fo rmayor, for Jerome for district attorney and for the republican candidates for all other offices, unless it appeared that the marking was made for the purpose of Identifying the ballot.
 Judge Giegerich further decided that all the ballots in dispute should be counted for Jerome for the district at torneyship and for the candidates for other offices as mentioned in his opin- ion,

DELEGATE TO UNITED STATES.
Americans on the Isle of Pines RatIfy
 Election.

Havana, Nov. 27.-Persons who ar- rived here to-day from the Isle of Pines say that the meeting of the Americans held there on Saturday aft ernoon ratified the election of dele gate to the United States congress and the election of territorial officers. While all were in favor of sending the dele gate to congress the meeting was divid- ed on the question of the wisdom of 'ratifying the elections of the territorial officers. After considerable discussion the convention by a vote of 75 to S7 decided to ratify the whole of the pre- vious proceedings.
 It was unanimously and distinctly understood, however. that there will be no assumption of any office except by the United States authority. The meetingdispers ed quietly.
 Some of to-day's arrivals report that the local officers and many Cubans were armed on Saturday ready to resist any invasion of their rights or the as sumption of the control of public af- fairs by the Americans.
 Americans who have arrived here from the Isle of Pines do not believe that the slightest disturbance occurred yesterday.

DESIRES HARVARD TO
 BREAK 0FF WITH YALE
CRIMSON GRADUATE MAKES 4 NUMBER OF PECULIAR
 CHARGES.

Says Yale Uses Her Athletic Relations
 With Cambridge Simply as a Basis
 Upon Which to Claim Parity as an
 Institution of Learning-Undcr the
 Sway of "AthIetOcracy'-POI of
 Walter Camp Responsible for YaIe's
 Athletic Condition.
 Cambridge, Mass, Nov. 27.-The Harvard Graduates Magazine for De- cember will contain an article by an unnamed graduate of the university, setting forth that Harvard should abandon athletic relations VI ith Yale on the ground that such relations are used by Yale simply as a basis upon which to claim parity with Harvard as an in- stitution of learning. Harvard, the writer says, furthermore, cannot win without adopting Yale methods, and this she cannot do without violence to her ideals.
 Speaking of an alleged tendency on the part of the Yale authorities to maintain silence concerning the 'in- ternal weaknesses" of the university, in contrast to Harvard's policy of pub licity and self-correction, the writer continues: <.
 "The only publicity which Yale has consistently encouraged is publicity in athletics. And no wonder. Thanks to the linking of YaIe's name with Har- yards in the sports of the last thirty years the public, in it's haphazard fash ion, has gone on supposing that Har- yard and Yale were about on a level as institutions of education. The truth has been, of course, that while Har- yard has steadily held the primacy of American institutions since 1870, Yale has dropped to sixth or eight place in point of attendance, and has been out stripped by four, if not five other in- stitutions in its offering of high grade instruction and in it's professional schools"
 The writer declares that Yale, under the sway of what he terms the "athlet- ocracy' has consistently opposed every attempt to curb or regulate or purifqy athletics"
 The article goes on to declare that Yale presidents and professors by their own admission, find the rule of the "athleticrary' irksome, but fear to lose their popularity hy opposing 1t. The policy of Walter Camp, which Yale has adopted for her own, is, the writer says, responsible for Yale's athletic con dition.
 Not that Harvard players have al- ways been above reproach," he adds. ''The temptation to initiate the prac- tices which have brought victory to their opponents have proved too strong. Yale for 8 quarter of century has or ganized a wonderful athletic institution, whose main business has been to turn out winning teams, and whose ruling spirit is anything to win Let us part company, for competition between two competitors so antagonistic in principle is incompatible"

DENOUNCES FOOTBALL.
Chairman of Columbia Athletic Com
 mittee Speaks Plainly.

mittee Speaks Plainly.
 New York. Nov. 2.-Francis s. Bangs, chairman of the Columbia uni- versity committee on athletics to-day pronounced football as played under the present rules and methods to be a brutal and abominable game, and said that if he had his way it would be pro- hibited. Speaking of the rules commit tee appointed a number of years ago by the now defunct University Athletic club MT. Bangs described it's members ''as irresponsible, impervious to public opinion and culpable in their disregard of the increasing danger of the game as they have made it." He declared that they had done nothing to better conditions, and that he did not think that the revision of the &ules could be entrusted to them now with any con- fidence.
 Of proposition made some months ago to refer the question of stopping football to the athletic associations of the various universities. MT. Bangs said:
 You might as well trust the cook ing of a steak to a cage full of lions.''
 President Butler said that he was not yet ready to make statement for pub lication, but that, the views of MT.

Annapolis, Md, Nov. 27.--No great progress was made to-day in the trial by court-martial of Midshipman Minor MeriWether on charges that embrace TOne of manslaughter in connection with the death of Midshipman James R. Branch, jr., after fist fight between him and Midshipman MeriWether. Per haps the most important developments of the day were the decision of counsel to put Midshipman MeriWether on the stand in his own defense and the ap- pearance of Dr. L. W. Glazebrook, of Washington, in the role of adviser to Meriwether's counsel. Most of the tes- timony offered to-day was by midship- men and related to details of the fight and events that led thereto,
 During the afternoon session Mid shipmen A. w. Fitch and Leigh Moves, respectively, referee and timekeeper Of the fight, were recalled and again went over their testimony as to certain incl dents in the fight. They said that twice, it was thought, Branch had hit his head against the floor.
 Lieutenant Commander Dacker testi- fled that the floors in Bancroft hall, where the fight was held, have con- crete base, then a layer of rough boards and then the smooth surface board
 Midshipman Ralph Yeager, who was
 Meriwether's second, said the latter had slipped in the fifteenth round spraining his ankle and that he was al- most disabled thereby, but said he fuht fhnYIph he could do little to defend himself. Midshipman Hugo W. Caller. fourth class man, testified that he had loaned the civilian clothes that were found by Branch to Meriwether during the summer and that on the day they were found in the closet Branch had told him that he had better go get them. He had then gone to the closet and recovered the clothing. To-day Dr. L. W. GlaZebrook of Washington, who was present at the autopsy held on the body of Branch yesterday, became adviser to counsel for the defense, and consulted with them during the proceedings. The defense will close tomorrow un- less the medical testimony relating 70 the autopsy consumes moretime than | is now expected.
 Witnesses for the defense will include Medical Inspector Howard Flames ana Lieutenant Commander T. P. Magru- der, aid to the superintendent, the lat ter to testify to a matter of academy record.
 It has been decided that Midshipman Meriwether will be put on the stand in his own defense.
 The court will meet on Thursday | Thanksgiving day) unless an unex- pected order to the contrary is receiv-
 ed from the secretary of the navy. Witnesses may be called in rebuttal, but the probability is that the court will finish it's work by Friday.

SEBASTOPOL UPRISING.
Most of the Mutineers Decide to Sur-
 render.

St. Petersburg, Nov 2S,-S:110 a. m.- Though the mutineers at Sebastopol are still masters of the situation at Admir-. atty Point and though armed parties have, apparently, free access to the town, notwithstanding the announce ment by the authorities that the roads leading to it were blockaded, dispatches received yesterday from Vice Admiral Chouknin, commanding the Black sea fleet, present the situation in an opti- mistic light. These dispatches, which were read at the extraordinary council of the admiralty, declare that most of the mutineers have decided to surren- der with their arms, though such action involves trial for mutiny before court martial.
 This is confirmed in part by dis patch to the Novoe Vremya which says that the spirit of the mutineers is fail ing and that several detachments have surrendered.

SUIT CASE MURDER TRIAL
DIR. PERCYD. M'LEoD FACES THE
 JURK.
Crawford and Howard Plead Guilty to Being Accessories After the Crime Former Appears as Principal Witness Against the hysician-DecIares Mcleod Suggested Dismemberment of Body.

Boston, Nov. 27.-The trial of Dr. Percy D. Mcleod, one of the persons under indictment for being an alleged accessory after the fact to the perform ance of a criminal operation upon Su- sanna A. Geary, the victim of the so- called suit case tragedy, was begun to-day in the superior court. Before a jury was chosen Louis D. Crawford and William E, Howard alias Hunt, who were arrested in New York, were arraigned in the same case and pleaded guilty to similar charges. Crawford and Hunt were remanded to jail to await sentence, but Crawford was sub- sequently brought back into the court room and was the principal witness Of the day against Dr. Mcleod.
 After Dr. Mcleod had pleaded not guilty, a jury was quickly chosen and first listened to the testimony of Med ical Examiner Francis A. Harris. Dr. Harris stated that the immediate cause of death was peritonitis. Mrs. Geary, mother of the girl identified the victim of the tragedy as her daugh- ter. The third witness was Morris Ma than, the girls lover, who admitted his responsibility for the girls condi- tion.
 The interest in the trial. however, centered in the testimony of Crawford. He stated that he was a familiar vis- itor at the office of Mrs. Dr. Jane Bish- op, where, 1t is claimed, the alleged illegal operation on the Geary girl was performed, and that he had seen Dr. Mcleod at the office once or twice a week for the past four years. He claimed that he had nothing whatever to do with the operation upon the girl, but that it was performed by Mrs. Mary Dean, for whom the local author ities are searching. He said that the day before Miss Geary died in the Roxbury house. where she was taken, Dr. Mcleod and Mrs Dean agreed that death was only question of a few hours, and that the body must be dis posed of in some manner. Dr. Mcleod, Crawford claimed, suggested dismem- berment. At Dr. McLeod's directioll Crawford said that he purchased the suit cases. and on the day of Miss Geary death carried them to the house. pr. Mcleod took them up stairs and reappeared in about half an hour
 Crawford also testified that Mcleod told him and Howard that he (Mc- Leod) had placed the trunk in the larger case, the limbs in the smaller and the limbs in the small bag.
 Crawford and Howard then took the bag and cases and that night threw them into the harbor. Crawford said that he received $115 from persons in the Bishop office. He met Dr. Mcleod the next day and the latter said, the witness claimed. that he (McLeod) failed to remove the girls rings, but thought 1t would be all right"
 The trial will be continued to-mor- row.
