If a naval battle occurred there the
narrowness OF the straits would in

GEORGE " MARRIED
 MRS. FITZHERBERT
PACKAGE IS OPENED AFTER
 SEVENTY YEARS BY PERMlS- SION OF KING EDWARD AND MARRIAGE CERTIFICATE FOUND

London, November 10-By permission of King Edward the Daily Chronicle asserts a package of papers consigned to the care of Couts bank by Mrs. Fitzherbert CMaria Anne Smythe) under the stipula- tion that it was not to be opened for a long period, has now, after seventy years been opened and proved to con- tain the marriage certificate and other in- disputable proof that George ". was actually married to Mrs. Fitzherbert.
 Mrs. Fitzherbert became the wife of the Prince of Wales, afterward George ". in December, 17S5. The marriage of the Prince was invalid under English law, though 1t was sanctioned by the Roman Catholic church, of which Mrs. Fitzherbert was a member. It was ex- pected that the papers in Couts bank would settle question which has agi- tated the British public for over a cen tury as to whether there was issue from the marriage, but there is nothing in the foregoing dispatch to indicate that this has been solved. It had long been reported that there actually was male child, and that this child emisrated to the United States and settled in Wash inRton, where he died some years ago after living very quietly, bat in good cir cumstances.

JEFF DAVIS CHEER
 HAS TRAGIC END
THREE KILLED AND THREE IN JURED IN AN ELECTION ROW FURTHER TROUBLE IS Ex- PEcTED.

Naugatuck, w. Va, November 10.-A cheer for Jeff Davis. uttered by drunken man on Beaver Creek on the Kentucky side of the river, today result ed in bloody tragedy in which three men were killed and three others were wounded.
 There had been much drinking after the election on Tuesday Con Estep, an old Confederate soldier, was among the men who had become intoxicated. When he yelled, ''Hurrah for Jeff Davisr' c. Prater, a young man in the crowd, told Estep to :. shut up or he would kill him. Enoch Bentley, another member of the crowd. told Estep to "hurrah for any one he pleased Prater turned upon Bent ley and emptied his pistol at short range. all five shots taking effect After he had fallen, Bentley shot and killed Prater. Rube Morgan. a friend of Prater's, who had shot Bentley after the latter had friends of Estep. and then fled, but he was shot and mortally wounded by the Howlings. Bentley died shortly after the shooting and Morgan died two hours later. During the fight John Sadler. belonging to the Prater gang, was dangerously wound ed. The Bowling boys were both hit but not fatally hurt.
 An election bet had caused hard feeling between Estep and Prater. The excitement over the tragedy is intense and another clash of the factions is expected.

Annapolis, November 10.-A statement coming from within the naval academy and believed to represent the midship- mems version of the fight between Mid shipmen Meriwether and Branch, and the death of the latter, is as follows:
 The fight between Midshipmen Branch and Meriwether was because of a personal dislike, and trouble between the two mid shipmen which eliminated in the latter personally insulting the former. Mdship- man Branch did not report Midshipman Meriwether for any violation of regula- tions; Midshipman Branch challenged Meriwether as the result of insulting re- marks addressed to him by the latter, and 1t was decided that their differences be de- cided in the usual American manly fash ion. In weight there was not a difference over five pounds between the two. Both midshipmen were good physical specimen of manhood, Branch having at one time held the academy lightweight wrestling championship.

New York, November 10-Andrew Car negie upon disembarking today from the steamer Baltic on which he arrived here last night, talked on American politics. He spent the summer at his castle in Scotland. Of the New York election, MT. Carnegie said: 'I do not think that any attempt to defraud the people out of fair count could be continuously sue cessful. or that it would ever endanger this republic for the voice of the people will make itself heard.
 "I don't believe In the socialist idea of municipal ownership, but municipal own ership is a certainty, as sure as I am alive. Scotland and England are ahead of us in ownership of public property.
 All Great Britain's water, trans and sewage works are under public owner ship. The increase in value made by an increasing population should belong to the city. No city should give away a fran chise that belongs to the people.

MUNICIPAL, OWNERSHIP
 CERTAIN, SAYS CARNEGIE

Carnegie, "have made a profound impress sion throughout Europe. The root of the trouble is that there are so many men in America who are so good natured that they lend their names to financial insti- tutons and assume duties which they have not time to perform. Their respect able names are used as decoy ducks by the real managers of the institutions over which they have no control. What we need to control such evils Is men in office who are not money -grabbers. who are retired from business and who will conduct public offices as they would their own business
 ''The impression is caused by the fact that business men will not protect their names as they protect their dollars. The business and moral standing has been lowered in their estimation. It has to the extent caused wonder that men of finance have allowed their names to be used as a blind. I have been asked time and again to become a director of some of the insurance companies but l replied that If the institution Is a good one will trust my dollars with it but not my name. That is sacred"

HARVARD TEAM ARRIVES. Bettinq Favors the Crimson Squad Which Meets Pennsylvania Today.

Philadelphia, November 10.-Confdent of their ability to win and wipe out the defeat of last year, the Harvard foot ball squad arrived here today for their annual game with the University of Pennsylvania tomorrow on Franklin Field. Trainer McMasters reports the varsity team as in prime condition for the con- test.
 Harvard is picked to win the game. the betting being to 1, on the crimson team. Notwithstanding the loss of several good men, Pennsylvania expects to give liar yard hard game, and believes that the Cambridge team will not win with the ease that the Harvard followers expect.
 With the coming of the Harvard team. the rumor that tomorrow's game will be the last the two universities will play together was again revived but there does not seem to be any foundation for the report.

ANNAPOLIS FIGHT WAS
 RESULT OF AN INSULT

Meriwether was not considered to be exceptionally well developed physically, as has been enormously stated. This way of settling their personal difficulties may have been mistaken one, but as far as can be said about an affair of this de- scription, it was free from brutality and any unfairness and the tragic ending is most lamentable accident.
 At the conclusion of the fight Midship- man Branch was able to walk to his room and there conversed with his seconds for a time, afterward taking a shower bath and retiring. No fear of the result being tragic was felt until the next morning, when he was found to be unconscious.
 The code at the naval academy absolute ly prohibits challenge over a report. Mid shipmen on duty frequently have to ex- ercise this authority for the maintenance of the state of discipline. and it would be just as serious an offense against their code for the midshipmen so reported to challenge the one who made the report, as it would for University of Virginia student to offend against their code of honor by cheating at athletics.

SULLIVAN MAKES GOOD.
Gets the Decision Over Tommy Lowe
 In the Eighth Round.

Baltimore, November 10-Before the Eureka Athletic club tonight Kid" Sul- livan of Washington proved conclusivelv that his declaration that he would stop Tommy Lowe, also of Washington. before the end of the fifteenth round their bout was scheduled to go, or forfeit all claim to the purse. was no bluff. The finish came in the eighth when Referee O'Hara gave the decision to Sullivan because Lowe for the third time within two rounds went to his knees without being hit. in order to save himself from a knockout. There was no dissent from the justice of the decision.
 The first two rounds were fairly even, there having been little or no fighting in the first. Thereafter it was Sullivan's fight by safe margin in every round. In the fourth left to the body, followed quickly by right to the point of the jaw sent Lowe down. The sound of the gong. fraction of second before the referees final ten saved Lowe for the time being, and he afterwards took the maximum punishment. often with his open gloves shielding his face, but with never a chance of winning
