BRYCE FOR AMBASSADOR.
British Chief Secretary for Ireland May
 Come to This Country.

London, Nov. 21.-An interesting ru- nor was current in the lobby of the house of commons tonight to the eff feet that James Bryce, the author of The American Commonwealth, and now chief secretary for Ireland, is likely to be selected to fill the vacant ambassa- dorship at Washington. No confirma- ton of the rumor can be obtained, and it is believed the government has not even decided the matter but this sug- gestion falls in with the growing feel ing in high quarters here that the Washington embassy should be filled by a man of exceptional weight who possesses, in addition to political inhu- ence, a sympathetic understanding of the American people and American af- fairs, such a man, in fact as the Unit ed States for years past has sent to fill the post of ambassador in London. It is felt that MT, Bryce, as a statesman and litterateur of high distinction, is eminently fitted to meet these require ments.

Open Question Whether Harvard Will
 Play Next Season.

Boston, Nov. 21-A motion empower ing the Harvard athletic committee to authorize dates for athletic sports from December to July i, 1907 during which time the governing boards of the uni- versity will further consider the gen. eral question of athletics, including the regulation of football, was adopted to- day at a stated meeting of the board of overseers of Harvard.
 This action is in concurrence with the recommendation recently made by the corporation of the college. Under a previous vote the authority of the pres ent athletic committee terminates on December of this year.
 Whether football will be permitted at Harvard next season is still an open question, as the special joint commit tee appointed by the corporation and the board of overseers to investigate and report on the general subject of athletic control December is now giv- en seven more months to consider the matter. The alleged abuses in football contests which were especially put for ward by President Eliot, formed the principal basis for limiting the author ity of the athletic committee, which has absolute authority over all athletic questions.
 The particular question of football was not discussed in any way at to- days session of the overseers.

 Herkimer, N. Y, Nov. N.-Dlstrict Attorney Ward continued to-day to forge the links in the chain of circum- stantial evidence he is endeaVoring to build up against Chester B. Gillette, who is on trial for his life as the alleg- ed slayer of his sweetheart, Grace Brown, of Cortland. MT. Ward is pre- senting his evidence in the form of a narrative, picturing as many events in the lives of the two young people from the first time they were thrown to- gether until the body of the girl was found in Big Moose Lake last July as he has been able to trace from minute study and investigation of all their af- fairs.
 The prosecutor succeeded to-day,
 
 fendant's counsel, in getting before the jury what is said to be his most direct evidence that a crime was committed that eventful day in the Adirondacks. He put upon the stand Mrs. Margaret Carey, of East Orange, N. J., who, with her husband, had gone for 8 row in the south bay of Big Moose Lake the even- ing goung Gillette and Miss Brown set out upon the journey which ended in the latter's death. Mrs. Carey declared that she had been startled by hearing a piercing scream coming from near the east shore of the bay.
 Tt was the cry of person in peri" {" the witness added.
 This voluntary statement called forth a storm of objections from the defense, and it was ordered stricken from the records. Mrs. Carey was allowed to state it as her opinion that the cries were undoubtedly those of a woman.
 They were too shrill to be anything else" she asserted,
 Here an objection was interposed by the defense, but this time Judge Deven- dorf allowed the testimony to stand. Exceptions were noted.
 The district attorney to-day sketched in testimony the travels of Gillette and 1 Grace Brown on their second day in the Adirondacks. He took. them by train from Tuppers to Big Moose. There they went to hotel, where they did not reg ister as man and wife. Gillette used Miss Browns real name, but styled himself Carl Graham Albany"
 Witnesses were next introduced to tell of the young couple going for the fatal row upon the lake. It was here 1 1Ctnntinnnd an ENiohth Pnnn N -

 The announcement of the sale occa- stoned no great surprise as since last May it has been known that a maior- ity of the stockholders of the four lines stood ready to dispose of their hold ings While the price paid is not known, it is believed that the transfer involves more than $1,0O0000
 The Consolidated Securities company of Massachusetts controls the street railway systems which were formerly owned directly by the New York, New Haven and Hartford Railroad com pany, but which were transferred to the securities company when the legali- ty of the steam railroads control of trolley lines under Massachusetts laws, was questioned.
 The companies which now pass into the control of the Consolidated Securi- ties company operate about seventy miles of road in northern Rhode Is- land and southern Massachusetts.

WORKED TO ITS LIMIT.
Brooklyn Bridge May Yet Furnish n
 Great Calamity.

New York, Nov. 1-Recommenda- tions made by the state railroad com mission on Tuesday designed to relieve somewhat the Brooklyn bridge crush found a startling report to-day when President Claderwood, of the Brooklyn Rapid Transit company, de- clared that the bridge was being work ed to it's limit, and that his company lived in expectation of a great calamity there. Almost similar sentiments were expressed by Frank Hedley, general manager of the Interborough, regarding the East Side traffic in Manhattan. The Second and Third avenue elevated roads, he said, were being operated to their utmost capacity, and unless they were enlarged, as the railroad commits sion recommended, the company was absolutely powerless to better coRdi- dOns.
