Few Voters Will Leave.

Washington November 2.-There will be an exceptionally small exodus of voters from Washington for the approaching elections. due partly to the lack of gen eral interest and partly to the circum- stances that the operation of the civil service law is having the effect of mak- ing government employees understand that political activity Is not necessary for their continuance in office. In some instances, notably in the New York and Cleveland contests, there is enough interest, largely of a personal character, to inpel some oi the government employees to lay aside their duties for sufficient length of time to permit them to make hurried visits to their old homes for the purpose of giving their favorlte candidate all the aid pos sible.

Tariff Retaliation.

The German pottery trust. which

on such products. This arbitrary in

HARVARD WINS SINGLES.
Playing in the Intercollegiate Tennis
Tournament.


PHILADELPHIA, October 5.-Harvard
victorious in the singles and Harvard and
Princeton remaining to fight it out in the
doubles was the result of today's play in
the intercollegiate championship lawn ten
mis- tournament on the courts Of the Merton
Cricket Club at Haverford. By securing all
four places in the semi-finals Harvard is
insured the possession Of the singles cham
pionship for this year. The play-on for the
individual title will take place later at the
convenience of the contestants. The semi
finals are N. Niles, Clarence Pell, Gardner
and Abney. Pelrs defeat Of H. Bundy put
Yale out Of the running and Gardner easily
disposed of r. NJ Philler of Pennsylvania.
The best tennis of the day was in the
Niles-Tilden match. The latter, VINO rep
resented Pennsylvania, played an agrees
sive game and earned many points by
clever cross court strokes. Niles, however.
held the advantage throughout, his service
and killing of lobs being particularly ef-
fective H. B. Register OF Pennsylvania
took the second set from Dabney. but
played erratically.
In the doubles the feature was the VIC
tory of W. Gerlach and S. Gordon of Prince
ton over Gardner and Pell Of Harvard. The
latter pair were the favorites. but lost In
straight sets. The Princetonians are now
thought to have good chance against
Mes and Dabney in the final, which will
