Game Abolished Until the Rules
 Are Amended
REASONS ARE APPARENT
Professor Lord Says That It Is Only By Such Radical Action That the Uni- versty Can Rid Itself
 of Odium.

New York, November S-Columbia Uni- versity has abolished the game of foot ball as at present played as one of the sports in which students of the university will be permitted to engage.
 This action was taken at meeting of the Columbia University committee on student organizations held tonight at the university at which were present the members of the committee, Professor Lord, chairman; Professor Mitchell and Professor Odell and also President But Ter and Dean Kachway, and Professor Bogert, the two latter former chairmen of the committee. The following preamble and resolutions were adopted
 Under the authority conferred by the university council on student organiza- tons, to supervise and control all stu dent organizations. athletic and other, which in any way represent the university before the public,' it is,
 Resolved, That from and after Decem- Der 31, 1905, the football association of Columbia university shall be disbanded before which date all it's accounts shall be settled to the satisfaction of the comp troller of student organizations.
 HeSOlNGOt ndl III liit oliiiph VI 'iiiS committee the present game of football shall be abolished, and the committee respectfully referred to the university council that the game be prohibited at Columbia university"
 The action of this committee is final. The students are not permitted to play without their consent and if they do so they render themselves liable to expul- sion.
 Professor Lord said after the meeting Of the committees:
 'eThe reasons for this action need no exclamation. They must be patent to the mind of every one acquainted With the game as now played Only by such radical action can the university and college life be rid of an odium which it is believed has become as burdensome to the great mass of students as it has proved itself harmful to academic standing and danger ous to human life"

NEGROES WHIPPED
 OUT OF THE TOWN
Had Confessed to Being Members of "BIack Hand' and to Having Sent
 Threatening Letters.

Dublin, Ga, November 2S.-H. Christian, a barber and William Bethea, laborei, were severely whipped last night by citi- zens of Dublin and run out of the county. The negroes confessed to being members of Black Hand society which had sent threatening letters to Chief of Police J. L. Cowart.
 They also confessed to having sent a very insulting and obscene letter to c. W. Williams, a member of the legislature from Laurens county. This letter was sent to Atlanta and was mailed there. They implicated Henry Ansley and Cisco Wilson. two other negro barbers. Ansley is in jail, but Wilson made his escape. It Is not believed that there will be any serious trouble. Chief Cowart received two of the letters, one after Christian had been whipped. In the letters all of the police and aldermen were threatened.

Trying to Get Bearings.

Republican members of congress arriv- ing in Washington are trying to get their bearings in relation to canal legislation at the coming session. Just what they are expected to do they do not understand The board of consulting engineers having recommended a sea-level canal by vote of eight to five, and the administration being credited with the plans to build q lock canal, rather confuses those who want to vote straight. It is taken for granted here that the administration will finally get it's lock canal legislation. but the subject is sure to lead to lengthy debate in the senate and bring some in- teresting facts.

"are busily discussing the rail- road rate problem, and l suppose the same may be said of almost any section of the country. The matter is being considered from all sides, but the concensus of opin- ion in my section seems to be that some sort of remedial legislation on this sub feet by the Fifty-ninth congress is neces- sary. It Is, of course. rather idle to pre- dict what congress will do in the matter. but 1t seems to be an opinion that the senate may yield somewhat and that a law may be passed based on compro- mise proposition"

Unable to Rescue Men,

Superior. Wis. November 28.-Life savers have been unable to get the crew of the Mataafa. The boat has broken in two but the decks are still out of water. It is thought that the twenty-six men have frozen to death, as there is no sign of life on board At 1:30 D. m. reliable party from the scene of the Mataafa wreck says the life saving crew have abandoned their efforts to rescue the men on the wreck until morning.
 Duluth, Minn., November 2S.-In one of the most terrific gales in the history of Wisconsin on the Great Lakes, even sur passing in fury the terrible storm of last September, in which so many men lost their lives in the vicinity of the Apostle Islands. theree big lake steamers were today driven ashore within sight of the lighthouse at Duluth entrance to the local harbor, and several members of the crew of one of the boats, the Mataafa, are believed to have perished
 The wrecks are the Crescent City and the Mataafa of the Pittsburg Steamship company, and the R. w. England, owned by the England Transportation company of Cleveland.
 As soon as interrupted telegraphic com munication with other lake ports is re- stunned 1t is expected that further reports of wrecks will be received for the storm is thought to have been a record breaking one. For thirteen consecutive hours be- tween o'clock Monday night and l2 o'clock today the velocity of the wind averaged sixty miles an hour and at times blew at the rate of sevenay miles an hour.
 Slowly Pounded to Pieces.
 The Mataafa is being slowly pounded to pieces. The crew of the Crescent City es- capped, but the boat is total wreck. Cap tain R. w. England is the only man who left the England. The vessel is lying on the sand. and Is in no danger of going to pieces. The captain was taken off by the life saving crew with the help of a brooches buoy. The sailors will remain on the boat until tomorrow until the wind abates. The Mataafa struck the north pier of the harbor entrance while making her way into he harbor and was unable to ge through the canal She swung around and ran aground just north of the pier, where she Is now being raked by the waves every one of which dashes com pletely over her
 The accident occurred shortly before three o'clock. The Mataafa left here at o'clock last night with the Nasmyth in tow The storm was so severe that she was forced to turn back.
 Struck Pier With Nose.
 As she neared the harbor entrance the lateral roll of the waves threw her star board and she struck the north pier fair ly on the end almost squarely with her nose, which was badly battred as a re- suit of the collision. A moment later she veered of slightly and her bow headed be- tween the piers. She had swung quarter Ing to the waves, however, and was una ble to proceed more than few yards. At the entrance the waves were almost mountainous in height and great clouds of water kept sweeping the laboring ves- gel from stem to stern. At this point an effort was made to turn her out into the lake again. but, the attempt was in vain. ohe turned almost completely around Witn her nose toward shore. She cleared tho pier and went On the beach broadside.

straioht Ahead, Trust to Luck.

The Crescent City, Captain Frank Rice, was the first of the three to go aground She went on the rocks six or seven miles from Duluth at 6 D. m. Every member of the crew of 26 men escaped and none was seriously injured. The Crescent City was bound for Two Harbors, but the captain realized that 1t would be impossi- ble for his boat to make the port and so he headed for Duluth. The gale was terrific and it was possible to see only few feet beyond the prov of the big craft. There was little to do but Keep straight ahead and trust to luck. At Lakewood. twelve miles from Duluth the big boat crashed onto the rocks. The waves were so high and the position of the boat so precarious that the men did not stop an instant to procure extra clothing or other valuables.
 The R. W. England, named after her captain, is lying on a sand beach on Minnesota Point four miles south of the harbor entrance She struck at 12:40 p. m, during a blinding snow storm.
 The England was coming up light for ore. When about eight miles east of Two Harbors the storm abated for moment and the captain found that his boat was headed straight for shore. He saw another boat of the Mariposa type ing whistle and changed his course A moment later the snow storm swallowed up the other craft
 The scow George Herbert was sunk off Two Islands on the north shore and 1t is reported five men were drowned. The steel corporation's steamer. Mariposa, is said to be ashore at Split Rock. The dam acc done by the storm Is estimated at a million dollars.

Washington, November %.-Secretary Roots letter to President Raynard today will probably crush the hopes of the little band of American colonists of the Isle of Pines who have been working hard for the secession of the island from Cuba and its inclusion in the insuar posses sions of the United States, since the sec retary, after consultation with the Presi- dent, made public the text of letter which he had addressed to Charles Ray nard, president of the American club of the Isle of Pines. defining the attitude or the United States government toward the proposed formation of a territorial form of government on the part of the United States.

There with thousands of people watch ing the crew, almost within a stones throw, and unable to do anything the poor fellows huddled on the stern of the boat awaiting rescue. The life saving crew was at the wreck of the England and did not reach the Mataafa until near ly o'clock and by that time the stern was almost under water and sometime before the men had slipped down the ven- tilators into the hold of the boat and none were seen on the stern.

Always a Part of Cuba.

At the time of the treaty of peace which ended the war between the United States and Spain, the Isle of Pines was. and had been for several centuries, part of Cuba. 1 have no doubt whatever that it continues to be part of Cuba, and that it Is not and never has been terri tory of the United States. This is the view with which President Roosevelt au- thorized the pending treaty and Mir Hay signed 1t and l expect to urge its con firmation. Nor would the rejection of the pending treaty put an end to the control of Cuba over the island. A treaty directly contrary to the one now pending would be necessary to do that and there Is not the slightest prospect of such a treaty being made. You may be quite sure that Cuba will never consent to give up the Isle of Pines, and that the United States will never try to compel her to give it up against her will. Very respectfully,

Should Relieve on Error.

'It is no part of the duty of the secre- tary of state to give advice upon such subjects. I think 1t proper, however, to answer your inquiry so far as t may be necessary to relieve an error under which you rest concerning the status of the Isle of Pines and your rights as residents of that island.
 There is no procedure under which you and your assistants can lawfully estab- fish a territorial government in that island The island is lawfully subject to the control and government of the repub- lie of Cuba, and you and your assistants are bound to render obedience to the laws of that country, so long as you remain In the island. If you fail in that obedience you will be justly liable to prosecution in the Cuban courts and to such punish ment as may be provided by the laws of Cuba for such offense as you commit. You are not likely to have any greater power in the future. The treaty now pending before the senate, if approved by that body, will relinquish all claim of the United States to the Isle of Pines. In my judgment the United States has no substantial claim to the Isle of Pines. The treaty merely accords to Cuba what is hers in accordance with international law and justice.
