ARMY TO DROP PRINCETON!
West Pointers Claim Players Were

New York Nov. 12.-The rough play
which caused the disqualification of two
men in the West Point-Princeton game
on Saturday Is apt 70 be attended with
serious consequences. 1t can be stated
on good authority that The game viii be
the last played by the two teams. The
West Point men felt keenly the fact that
three of their best men were put out OF
the game promptly by injuries sustained.
as they believe, unnecessarily.
The game was in distinct contrast to
the games with Yale and Harvard, which
were marked by a cordial spirit Of friend
ly rivalry. Il was not felt that Princeton
lived up TO the spirit of the new rules, or
to the code that has governed all contests
at West Point. 1t is probable that the
place made vacant on West Points
schedule will be occupied by Cornell in
the future.

HOPE FOR SETTLEMENT.
Steps to End the Strike of Railway
Machiuists.

President James O'Connell Of the Inter-
national Association of Machinists is en-
deavortng to bring about settlement of the
strike of the machinists employed in the
Southern railway shops. Hope is expressed
that an agreement may be reached within
twenty-four hours.
While Mr.. O'Connell was on his recent
trip south he had a conference with Cen
eral Manager Spencer of the Southern rail-
way, but what transpired has not been
made public. On the return of Mr. O'Con-
nell to this city last Saturday he at once
started the wheels Of the big organization
Of which he is the head to bring about an
other conference between the striking ma
chinists and the railway officials. This has
not yet occurred, but 1t is thought 1t will
be held within the next day. On the pro-
posed conference the hopes of settlement
are based. What propositions the confer
ence will work on is not known. but it is
thouht there will be mutual concessions to
bring about peace.
The Southern railway officials, 1t is re-
ported. are placing non-union men in the
machine shops as fast as workmen can be
obtained, and at several points, it is said.
union workmen In other trades employed
in the shops have refused to work with the
non-unfon men.

SEWER Consolidated Mine.

The Sewer Consolidated mine. about $50
miles south Of Salt Lake City, Utah, Of
which Mr.. Seymour W. Tulloch Of this city
Is president. has made a rich strike, ac-
cording to the Salt Lake Telegram. which
says:
From the grass roots down to a depth
Of less than twenty-five feet a mammoth
vein Of ore has been revealed, which runs
in general values from 500 to $1,000, and
one sample assayed as high as $4,000. in
gold.
This vein is Of unknown width but
from surface indications Is all of fifty feet
The cut Is now seventeen feet wide and has
the ore on both sides. neither wall having
yet been reached.
After scraping away the dirt the first
piece of rock broken from the ledge as
sayed $40. A few feet farther down 800
values and better began to obtain, and in
less than twenty feet of DEPTH in breaking
up boulder to reduce it SO it could be
taken out, piece of rock weighing about
a pound was broken off which furnished
the $4,000 assay"
About 800 citizens Of Washington are
stockholders in this NINE and claim that
they were very well satisfied before this
new development.

NEW ORLEANS COTTON
To Grow Elephants in Texas.

From the new 1orx Wofiu.
The establishment Of an elephant ranch
near Valentine. Tex. marks . third line Of
serious endeavor to transplant to the United
States as permanent habitants wild-iifs
creations Of Asia and Africa.
In the first experiment. undertaken In
the gold-fever days Of tho 1865, the gov
eminent was active. Camels were import
ed and the effort was made to breed and
use them for military and general trans
portation purposes on the great western
deserts. Several causes combined to bring
the venture to nothing-the prejudice Of the
army mule and his drivers. the raids of
sportsmen and, most Of all. the breaking
out Of the civil war.
The second experiment began In 1882, with
ostriches as its subject. Southern Cali
fornia saw the opening venture. and In that
region and In Arizona tho breeding OF the
great birds IL now a settled industry. There
are ostrich farms also In Texas and
Florida.
For the encouragement Of the would-be
elephant-breeders of Texas there IL the
fact that the ancestors Of the giant pachy-
derms have been traced by their fossils all
the length OF the Amerfcas-that Ia, as far
south as Argentina--and that they seem to
have favored temperate climate. Profit
Is to be sought, 1t ts understood, rather In
tusks and hides than In training elephants
to bear burdens to haul vans, or, as In the
Barnum circus instance at Bridgeport, to
speed the plough.

An illustration Of this manifested itself
last Saturday night when three middle

chatting on various matters. Two of these
men were department clerks and the labor
they had to undergo from 8 o'clock In the

LOCAL FINANCIAL NEWS.

The interest In the market was not more
in evidence at the meeting today Of the
stock exchange than has been the case
for some days past A feeling OF general
indifference seemed to prevail and II there
are orders In the keeping Of any OF the
brokers but few indications were given
Of the fact.
A couple OF fifty-share lots Of the pre-
ferred stock Of the Washington Railway
and Electric Company were sold at 67&
and s7sS. and the receding price paved the
way for any more that might come out.
but 1t was evident that the prices did not
suit. and SO no moro came from the same
source. No attempt was made to market
any Of the common stock or the Capital
Traction. and 30 the shading on in the fig
ures for those securities as compared with
the figures of Saturday was mainly in SYM
pathy with the general course OF things.
The bid for Mitchell Mining advanced q
quarter Of point and more over the sell
Ing price Of the stock on Saturday, and
half point over the closing bid OF that
day. This advance did not give rise TO
any trading and the bid Of 8 for the stock
remained at the close. with 81 the asking

An Echo Of the South African War


On April II. 1900. the Philadelphia North
American sent to President Paul Kruger in
South Africa a message from the school
children Of Philadelphia and a scrap book
of kindly expressions from the American
papers. 1t will be remembered that an
A. D. T. messenger was called from the
stage Of the Academy Of Music, and mes
senger 1884. James F. Smith. boy of
seventeen years Of age. responded. He was
told to take the roll of signatures of the
school children and the book of clippings
and deliver same to President Kruger.
He reached Pretoria the day the South
African troops evacuated and was barely
able to make the presentation before Presf-
dent Kruger was hurried away to escape
the British troops.
The album of clippings was too bulky to
carry - the hurried leaving. but the mes
sage from the children was taken with
him.
Charles F. Phillips. globe trotting news
paper man, has just returned from a trip
around the world, and reports seeing the
album on exhibition in Johannesburg. Mr..
Phillips saw the book when on exhibition
in Philadelphia and knew the maker, Mr..
Frank A. Burrelle of New York. so in
quired as to present ownership and future
destination, and was surprised to learn that
the British Museum was negotiating for its
purchase and that the present possessor
felt he should receive at least Ell 600 pounds
sterling, for this unique souvenir OF Ameri-
can enterprise.
