Philadelphia, Nov. 23. The t nivers
ity of Pennsylvania, football ton in de
feated Cornell this afternoon on Fr.ink
1 1 ii Held by the wore of 1 to 0. It was
ly far Hie fastest iTanu; Jhat has boon
played on Franklin Held this season,
nnd shows Cornell to have u runark
nbly strong team. There was less en
thusiasm manifested by the 20.000 per
sons present than on last Saturday be
cause during the ilrht half CjiiuH did
nil the playing, but in the second half
Pennsylvania used their gunrd back
formation with terrible effect on the
Cornell line. After neatly every scrim
mage In which this formation was us d
there would be a Cornell man St. etched
on the grass. These tiresome Interrup
tions were the only drawback to an
otherwise brilliant game. Of course,
there was considerable fumbling due
primarily to the slippery ball, and
Weeks made a bad moss of two quarter
back kicks, but this latter was also
partially due to the muddy ball.
Princeton hud beaten Cornell 10 to 0
and Harvard scored 24 against live for
tin- Carnellan and white, nnd It was the
Quakers' ambition to excel b tli of
these scores. If possible, and thereby
make today's game a fitting llnale for
the greatest football season in the his
tory of the red and blue. It was Cap
tain Minds' ambition to make a good
score against the Ithaca lads, as this
would make his captaincy shine out
with oven more brilliancy than evi-r.
Hut in both calculations hope was
dnshed to the earth, mainly through
the brilliant playing of the entire Cor
nell team. In the first half Pennsyl
vania tried the guards buck, but this
formation was Just as easily stopped as
attempted, nnd no matter where the
Quakers tried to get through there al
ways seemed to be a Cornell man ly
ing in wait to tackle. Their line in
this half held like a stonewall, and the
ends were down the Held under young's
kicks before the Pennsylvania men
reached the ball. The Individual stars
on the Cornell eleven were decidedly
"Wilson, Windsor, Whiting and Young,
the back field. The two former weie
against Pennsylvania's line for good
gains and also around the ends, while
the tackling of Whiting und Young on
the ends was a beautirul exhibition of
fast football.
CORNELL WEAKENS.
In tho second half the pace began to
tell on the Ithaca lads, and they were
driven down the field by the guards
back at a desperate pace.
For the Hist fifteen minutes of play
It looked as though tho curnellan and
white representatives would surely
score, but after that time, and not
withstanding the ball was in Ponnsyl
vanla's territory, a greater part of tho
time of the game, their goal was not
menaced.
Young, who came hero with the repu
tatlc.n of being a brilliant kicker,
showed none of his prowess In that
line. He seldom gained In an exchange
with Captain Minds, nnd was clearly
outklcked by the latter. Minds placed
liis kicks beautifully, while Young's
tries often went out of bounds after
going ilfteen or twenty yards, which
was a great handicap to the Cornell
team.
Tho Pennsylvania players lost one,
and possibly two. opportunities of scor
ing when within Cornell's twelve-yard
line. Asldo from this, their fumbles
were not disastrous.
For Pennsylvania the Individual
playing of Hare. Goodman and Out
land was remarkable. Thev broke up
the Cornell interference and made goud
gains nearly every time they were In
trusted with the ball. Hare also tackled
In Hne shape, getting out to the end of
tho line nnd nailing his man before
the halfbacks could reach the runner.
Cornell tried several tricks and
gained nenrly every time. One of their
most successful tricks was what Is
known as "end und tacklf over."
Only the guard was left In hit. original
position In the line. The tackle and
end wero shifted tho opposite end of
the line and led the interference. Each
man on tho line moved along one posi
tion in the direction of yie play, thus
having the center face guard, guard
face tackle, and tackle face end. It
was due to this formation that several
good end runs were mode. Pennsyl
vania tried one or two tricks, such as
the delayed double pass and fake pass,
but only once did they make a good
gain.
Pennsylvania's touchdown was not
made until nfter twenty-one minutes
of actual play In the second half. For
any team to hold Pennsylvania's guards
back formation In check for fifty-six
minutes Is a great feat, and It demon
strates how strong Cornell's team real
ly was today.

JOY IN THE WESTERN TIEK.
Washington County (Jolt, the Pigskin
Championship.
Pittsburg. Nov. 23. The football
championship ol" Western Pennsylva
nia goes to Washington county nnd it
was a happy Thanksgiving day for tho
residents of that end of the state. Be
tween 15.000 and 20,000 people were
ptesent to see the deciding game be
tween Washington and Jefferson nnd
Duquestif Countiy and Athletic club.
The victory was a clean cut one, thete
was no lluke about it. Tho final score
stood Washington and Jefferson, II;
Duques-no Country and Athletic club,
0.
Tho big crowd was not of the wildly
enthusiastic hind, and while the great
majority favored the homo team, yet
they did not overlook the good work
of tho visitors and bestowed deserved
applause on friend and foe alike. As
to tho game itself, it was a bitter
struggle, but was cleanly played, and
there was not the least sign of ill feel
ing on the part of the contestants. The
game was one wherein the colrge elev
en plav-'d mound tho home Hum, and
there has never been witnessed on a
local football Held such a grand display
of team work as that put up by the
visitors. The interference of the col
legians was something rtmarkable, and
Duquesne's strongest players could do
nothing against It. The visitors show
ed themselves to be experts at tho
quarter-bock kick, which they worked
often, and each time for a gain. This
play was generally resorted to on the
third, and each time for more than tho
distance. The locals did not often seem
to know what to do with it. On two
occasions when Captain Young was
in the act of punting the ball, his own
players Interfered with him and as a
result there was one touchdown by the
visitors and a big loss of ground. On
another occasion lialllett. who was at
centre, passed the ball clear over Cap
tain Young's head, and tho other play
ers were m him before he could gain
an Inch. The only players on Duqutsne
who seemed to do their work well wero
Wlnstein, guard; Green way nnd Ran
dolph at ends; MrNeal at quarter,
and the half-backs.
The struggle during the Hrst half was
the most desperate ever seen on a local
gridiron. It was a bitter battle and
When the half ended without a point
iVing mnde on either side there wen?
cheers for both teams. In the second
half was whero form began to tell,
and In this respect the visitors had
things their own way. It was this form
nnd their grand display of team work
that made them tho superiory of the
Duqucane Country nnd Athletic club
eleven, nnd It Is Just such work that
will keep the Washington and Jetferson,
eleven well up to the front In football.

Tributio Ponced In.
Vienna, Nov. 23. When tho lower
house of the Helchsrath re-ussoniblecl
today, after adjourning yesterday from
the scene of unprecedented disorder,
all the ministers wero present and the
Kpproaches to tho presidential tribu
nal wore blocked, doors having been
erected since tho disgraceful fighting
of yesterday in and nbout the trlbunu
and throughout the house.
The entrance of tho president of tho
chamber, Dr. Abrahamovlcs, was tho
signal for loud and Ironical salututlons,
which' were followed by vehement left
ist shouts of "shame."
Dr. Abrahamovlcs made an attempt
to speak, but Dr. Wolff, tho Germ in
nationalist leader. Interrupted him by
shouting:.
"Some one olso must take tho chair,
not this swindler!"
Hcrr Schoonorer, the leader of a sec
tion of the German opposition, then
yelled at the top of his voice:
"I demand tho tight to speak, which
I am entitled to!"
Thereupon Dr. Wolff retorted: "There
Is no such thing as right In this house.
It Is trodden under foot 'by this nmnie
ltihe." As the uproar which followed rthi w
ed every sign of Increasing, Dr. Abra
hamovlcs adjourned the house until 3
o'clock this afternoon, umld a storm of
"hurrahs" and "bravos."
When the sitting was resumed, the
leftists commenced a tremendous din.
In th middle of which the German
centrist, Hcrr Falkcnhyn, conceived as
a happy Idea a proposal to cow ob
structionists by threatening their pock
ets. He moved that for tho future dis
orderly members might be suspended
for three days by the president, or for
thirty days by the house, during which
time their allowance should be stopped,
while members refusing to leave tho
chamber when requested might be for
cibly expelled.
CONTINUOUS UPROAR.
The speech was interrupted with
continuous uproar, Herr AVolff shout
ing: "Let's pitch tho blackguards
out!"
The president vainly called for order.
Finally Hcrr AVolff stationed himself
directly In front of tho presidential
tribune and began a shrill whistle. A
number of deputies tried to force open
the doors at the front of tho platform,
while a party of Czechs endeavored to
prevent them.
When tho tumult was at its height,
Herr Abrahamovlcs declared that he
regarded the motion of Herr Falken
hyn as a necessary measure of self
defence, and called for the voting. The
whoje right at once arose, and tho
president declared the motion carried.
A number of deputies then began
clamborlng upon the president's plat
form, whereupon he seized his bell and
left the house.
After a short interval he returned
and began to address the chamber, but
his voice was drowned In a torrent of
leftist yells and shouts of "Get out!"
and "Shame!"
Finally the sitting was suspended for
an hour, at tho close of which Presi
dent Abrahamovlcs returned and an
nounced that In accordance with the
wishes expressed In many quarters he
had decided to close the sitting, to
open again tomorrow.
MARK TWAIN PRESENT. ;
These scenes which nre regarded as a
parliamentary coup d'etat, were wit
nessed by the British ambassador, Sir
Horace Kumlold, nnd by Samuel L.
demons (Mark Twain) with other not
ed foreigners. The motion of Count
Falkenhayn, former minister of agric
ulture, was carried by means of an
evidently preconcerted signal between
President Abrahamocs and the right
ists, for no word of the president was
audible.
This novel proceeding was greeted
with howls and Jeers by the obstruc
tlcnlsts. For a long time Count Bad
en!, the premier, stood calm nnd un
moved, but when the disorders reached
a climax both' ho and tho president
sought safety from personal violence In
flight.
Five Vienna newspapers. Including
the None Frle Preso and the Socialist
organ, Arbelter Zeltung, In addition to
several provincial Journals, have been
confiscated for articles on Wednes
day's proceedings.

of wheat, cotton and other products.
"The created values of this year tn
the United States ato estimated at
fourteen billions," he said, and ho then
dilated upon the greatness of this na
tion and Ita mission on earth.
Speaking of the perils that threaten
tho nation, he said that chief nmong
them were rum, Socialism und Jesuit
Ism. He spoke ut some length against
the danger of a foreign church obtain
ing ascendancv In the state, and said
that If Jesuitism ever prevails In this
country tho United States will become
as Mexico, Italy and Spain. He ad
vocated giving the Catholic the same
civil rights that every man enjoys,
but that his church be warned to keep
lis hands off the state. In tho course
of his remarks, Dr. Johnston referred
to Spain us "a burnt out nation, the
basest of kingdoms." He referred to
the danger of corrupt partlees, and In

Elmlru, N. Y., Nov. 25. Tommy Ryan

five rounds before the Maplo Avenue
Alhletle club tonight. The men were
matched to fight twenty rounds at 151
pounds. Tommy had things his own
way, and the Australian was unable
to land with any effect. The bout was

Paddy Ryan was referee. The men
sparred lightly for tho first two rounds.

force matters a little, and in the fourth
Tommy set tho pace and got two stilt
left Jabs on the body. At tho close of
the round the Australian was clinch
ing to avoid blows, At the opening of
the fifth round Jim appeared weak.
He still had Bteam in his blows, but
could not land and after every swing
he clinched to avoid punishment, and
tho referee had to separate them.
Tommy planted a left on the body und
jabbed another In the same place. Jim
appeared duzed. Tommy feinted with

FOUND DEAD IN BED.
Discovery Mndo nt tho Columbia
Hotel on Lucknwnniin Avoiuie Last
.lglit--Coroncr Longstrect Called.
The chambermaids at tho Columblu,
on lower Lackawanna avenue, were
very much annoyed yesterday because
"21," on the second floor, was sleeping
so late and keeping them from getting
their work through early, as they had
hoped for. They tried his door several
times durlnr the morning and after
noon, but each time it was found
locked and inquiry at the office dis
closed that he had not turned in his
key.
At 7 o'clock one of the chambermaids
said ho had slept enough and that she
would get him out whether ho would
or no, and with this determination
pounded tho door and rattled the knob
in a very energetic way. No response
came nnd when this was reported to
the ofilcQ It was realized at onco that
something was wrong.
Cletk Boland wont up and, forcing
In the door, found, as ho had feared,
that the occupant was dead. Coroner
Longstreet was sent for and Jn the
meantime an Investigation was started
to discover tho Identity of the unfor
tunate. The register was somewhat disap
pointing. Opposite "21" was a scrawiey
signature and address, that was Im
possible to exactly decipher. It looked
like W. C. Shaby or Shaley, Paxon,
Pa..or It could be Plttston. The clerk
remembered that he had come to tho
hotel at 7 o'clock on the previous even
ing; paid for his room and retired im
mediately. That is all that was known
of him by the hotel attaches.
When Coroner Longstreet came a
little more light was thrown on the
Inquiry. In one of his pockets was
found a letter written at Wllkes-Barre,
Oct. 14, 1897, addressed "Dear Mother,"
and signed Miss Pearl McArthur, 9V4
North Mead street, AVIIkes-Barre. In
the letter, which was evidently writ
ten by a very young girl, who is uway
from home, reference Is made to "Aunt
Millie," whose "husband keeps a bar
ber shop on South Canal street." Men
tion Is also made of Edna, Anna and
Harry Prentiss.
Another paper was found on his jer
son which had a printed heading
"Statement Account. In case of error
return this slip for correction." On the
paper wns written "Mrs. Eley, $1.19;
Miss Smith, .15." Besides these, there
wero found U his pockets $10.86 In
money, a knife and two pencils.
He Is a heavy set man, of about 175
pounds, forty years of age, with black
moustache, dark hair and dark com
plexloned. His general appearance
wns that of a laboring' man.
Everything indicated that he had
died without a struggle, and the sup
position is tha't heart disease was the
cause. Coroner Longstreet did not
think an Inquest necessary, but will
make further personal investigation of
the case. The remains were removed
to Raub's undertaking establishment.

IN RELATION TO TARIFFS.
Madrid, Nov. 23. Tho clause in re
lation to tho tariffs In tho govern
ments' proposed scheme of autonomy
for Cuba provides for the creation of
a mixed commission to be composed uf
Cubans and Spaniards, which is to fix
the tariffs. The rates fixed by tho
commission nre to bo adopted by tho
Cuban chamber of deputies and then
approved by the Spanish cortes before
they become effective. Should Un
mixed commission come to a deadlock
the cortes is to be the arbiter of tho
question at issue.
Prime Minister Sagasta has received
over ono hundred dispatches from per
sons and organizations in Catalonia,
Biscay and other provinces, asking that
the autonomy scheino bo suspended.
A member of the cabinet said today,
however, that the opposition to thu
scheme must soon oease. "Naturally,"
ho added, "the proposed reforms wero
opposed by a number of persons who
by the past system had amassed great
riches, but the government was deter
mined to carry out what it considered
a patriotic work, and its decisions mustl
be respected."
It Is expected that tho ministry oC
the colonies will bo abolished after tho
application of tho reforms, and that
colonial affairs will be conducted by
the prime minister.
