bulldog tenacity and grit, tore in the
Princeton lines.
At the start, Goebel sent the ball al
most to Princeton's goal, where lib
bolt picked it out Of the air and was
off on one Of his spectacular runs. A
forward pass was tried four times by
Princeton, but it invariably failed. The
on-side kick was also %resorted to. r.
Yale relied almost wholly upon runs
through tackle and around the ends
and line plunges. 1t was during one
of these desperate drives by Coy,
when Yale was within striking dis.
lance of the Princeton goal that Cap
tain Dillon was struck and rendered
unconscious. He remained in pretty
bad shape for several minutes, but the
physicians say the plucky captain is
suffering from a general relaxation
and that his condition is not serious.
Twice during the second half Coy
attempted field goals but on each oc-
casion he failed. Yale played strong

JAPAN's COURSE.
Viii, Act With the Powers in Regard
81 to Future Of lapan.

TOXIC, Nov. If p. Mn this
city the report Of the death of the en-
peror of China is generally accepted
as true. The news of his death is &C
companied by a rumor that the en-
pres dowager is also dead and while
this is not given general credence, it
is understood that she has been Sc
riously ill for several weeks.
The Associated Press has excellent
grounds for believing that the situa-
ton in China In the event of the dow
ayers death, will not be made the oc-
casion of any summary move on the
part of the japanese but the Japa.
nese government will await an agree.
ment OF all the powers.
It may be said that it is not Japan's
intention in the event of disorder or
Reorganization to try to take any step
whatsoever until there has been q con.
~sultation of all the interested nations
and until a course satisfactory to all
has been determined upon.

resulting in the death of a large pro-
portion of them under conditions and
environments SO frightful and dis
tressing as to make the fate of the
prisoners far worse than if after their
capture they had been shot down re-
gularly in fights or strung up to the
yard arms as vicious malefactors.

charging that these conditions were
due to the premeditations of the Eng
lish Commanders in chief or to the
set purposes OF any one in authority

fortunate men whose bravery and
self-sacrifice this monument records.
Such a charge would make the British
commanders human monsters. The
conditions were the result of neglect
not design"
"The conduct of both Russian and
Japanese prisoners during the recent
war In the far east was pointed to Fby
Mr.. Taft as an example Of the re-
5markable progress which had taken
place since the revolution. He de-
Tended Washington against the charge
which has been that upon his should
be placed at least a portion of the
responsibility for the i'll treatment OF
the ship prisoners as a result Of Wash
ingtons refusal to exchange the i'm
prisoned American sailors for impri-
soned British soldiers. He said the
conditions which prevailed made it es.
sential for Washington to retain his
British soldiers as prisoners.
What should be emphasized" said
he, sis that the refusal of Washington
and the American authorities to make
the proposed exchange was not the
slightest, justification for the neglect
and cruelty with which the prisoners
of war on the prison hulk were treat
ed.

DUKE ALEXIS IS
DEAD IN PARIS
UNCLE OF THE CAR DIES IN
FRENCH CAPITOL.

PARIS, Nov. 14.-Grand Duke Alex
is, Russia, uncle Of Emperor Nicholas
died in this city today Of pneumonia.
The grand duke had lived in Paris
almost continuously since his retire
ment from the position OF supreme
director Of the navy which he held
for "a years.
ST. PETERSBURG, Nov. A.-The
Of the death in Paris OF the
Grand Duke Alexis was received in
st. Petersburg this afternoon. IT has
made little impression on Russian SO
ciety. The grand duke after his re-
#tirement from supreme control of the
navy dropped entirely out Of public
notice. He has resided chiefly abroad
and he visited st. Petersburg only for
the family anniversaries at which the
members of the imperial family r
expected to be present. His role In
the disastrous naval campaign with
Japan has long since been put into the
background by the more important
questions Of social reign that have
arisen since the war. The usual court
mourning will be observed. The i'm
perial hunt now in progress in the vi
cinity of Peterhof, was abandoned to-
day and the imperial theaters have
been closed.
The death of Alexis was announced
to the duma during the election Of q
president for that body and at the
suggestion OF NJ. KhomyhoK the house
rose as a mark of respect.

After luncheon the party took car

and the reading of a poem by Thomas

monies.

applause as he arose to speak and

1.-THE prison ship was the Jersey.
There were other old hulks used as
prison ships before the Jersey, not
ably the Whitby and Hope. There
.were ships called Hospital ships
which are supposed to offer a refuge
for the sick Of the regular prison
ships. In all of them, however, there
were the neglect and cruelty that led
to a large percentage of deaths among
the prisoners; but the details in res
pect to them can be gathered only
from fugitive letters of the victims
and not from official sources. The
British commanders generally denied
the allegations made by American pri-
soners from time to time and with the
close of the war and the absence OF
any comprehensive investigation and
report in respect to them, we are left
to piece out the evidence as best VIZ
may and to explain the shocking per.
centage Of the dead that were gather.
ed each day, and given a hasty and
insufficient burial. We have more in.
formation in respect to the jersey
hulk than in regard to any other and
enough to confirm in the strongest
way the outrageous cruelty with which
the American prisoners were treated
