4 NEW YORK, June 27.-The last ath-
letic setto OF the season between Har-
ward and Yale took place 1T the Polo
Grounds this afternoon, the same being
the third baseball game between the
mines of the two universities, and was
won by Harvard by score of 9 to s..
The Harvard team hit to better pur-
pose than Yale, its hits being more
timely, fielded better and had more ef-
feet. Something about Yale's play sug-
gested that the men We're tired, not so
much physically as mentally, from a
long diamond season. and the men in
blue apparently did mot have the zest
for the game that they had earlier In
the. season. They We're fast on the
bases than Harvard, but that was the
only department. in which the Crimson
did not surpass them The score:

Toulon, France, Sept. 22--Thir-
teen men were killed and a number OF
others injured by the explosion OF
gun on the French aTmored cruiser
La Touche at Treville today.
The explosion occurred during a
gunnery drill, killing outright the en-
tire crew of thirteen, and completely
wrecking the turret. A number OF
men were seriously injured; some OF
them probably fatally. The drill had
been proceeding some time today,
wnen without warning the whole tur-
ret seemed to blow out DiSmembered
bodies were thrown in all directions
and several of them were hurled into
the sea through a great breach caused
by the explosion. The spectacle was
horrible, the dead and wounded to-
gether with shattered arms and legs,
littering the decks.
Happening so soon after the acct
dent on the Couronne, the explosion
today has caused a sensation in naval
circles, and doubtless will lead to a
most rigid investigation.

MIR. Watterson expresses the opin-
ion that Mr.. Foraker is victim OF

has done nothing that he did not be-
Iieve to be honest. He charges that
the republican party have among its
leaders many men who are as guilty
as Foraker. but who have not as yet
been caught with the goods.
NJ. Watterson also pays his re-
spes<s to Hearst, whom he calls the
'unspeakable", and intimates that the
letters were obtained by bribing en-
ployes of the Standard Oil Company
In closing Mr.. WattersOn says that
