Philadelphia, Nov. 27. The UnUjfrslty

12 to 11. The Ilhncans kicked a goal
fiom placements and scored a touch
down from which a goal resulted In the
Ilrst half, while Pennsylvania scored
two touchdowns and kicked two goals
In the second half. Never has a more
intensely, exciting and uncertain con
test been witnessed on Franklin. Field.
Pntll the final blast of the referee's
whistle announced the cessation of hos
tilities, there was a painful uncertainty
in the hearts of Pennsylvania's 'sup
porters. Cornell had thrice cairled the
ball dangerously near Pennsylvania's
K0.il and once carried it over. Another
touchdown or an opportunity for a sec
ond goal fi'om placement would probab
ly mean defeat for the local eleven. Hut
;-. th time drew near for the close 0f

i nine more fierce while that of Cornell
grow correspondingly weak and the
game ended with the ball In Cornell's)
possession on her Ci-yard liner
There was scarcely a moment during
the seventy minutes' struggle that
there was not something occurring.
Spectacular runs, sensational tackles
mid terrific line plunges came with such
frequency tha.t the spectators were kept
almost continuously bobbing up nnd
down In their seats. Both teams played
brilliantly. Pennsylvania's offense was
superior to that of Cornell, and her de
fense, particularly within ten minutes
of the close of the game, has never
been excelled, by .1 Pennsylvania eleven.
When the two elevens trotted on for
the second half, the score stood 11 to 0
Jn favor of Cornell, and there were few
Pennsylvanlans who dared hope for a
victory.
In the first half, Tydeman scored a
touchdown for Cornell, on which Coffin
kicked a goal." Coflln also kicked a goal
from placement on the 30-yard line.

Robert MeCormick, American Ambas
sador to Russia; Consul General Evans,
the Right Hon. II. II. Asqulth, I.oid
Reay, Lord Fairfax (tho American
peer), Field Marshal Lord Roberts and
Sir Henry Norman. The speeches were
numerous and abounded in good feel
ing and reciprocal compliments. Toasts
in honor of King Edward and of Presi
dent Roosevelt were drunk with equal
enthusiasm.
Mr. Asqulth, proposing the health of
Ambassador Choate, Jokingly alluded
to tho "dreaded American Invasion,"
and then referred to the long line of
distinguished ambassadors that the
United Stales had sent to England, each
of whom, ho said, had largely contrib
uted to the present happy relations of

ing: "There Is one combine which meets
the approval of the people of both na
tions; that Is tho Atlantic combine,
which Is now existing and which unites
the people of both countries, America
finds herself now the happy recipient
of good will from all nations. Columbia
finds herself In tho enviable, but em
parrusslng position of having hultors
lrom all countries In the world, but,
ladles and gentlemen, Columbia does
not mean to give herself nwuy; sho
means, llko your great Queen Eliza

but bo conceded that she best under
stands tho overtures from,her kindred,
from those of her own race and tongue."
Referring to the origin . of Thanks
giving day, Mr, Choate alluded to Pres
ident Itoosovelt, whom, he said, was so
strong, nnd biave, nnd true, that he
might himself have been the leading
spirit of tho Mayllower. It was his in
fluence and example, continued Mr,
Choate, that was responsible for the
Interest that young Americans were
now showing in politics nnd the vigor,
courage nnd human sympathy with
which Mr, Roosevelt biought tho coul
strike to a successful outcome was the

IN QUARANTINE
Secretary of Agriculture Wilson Is
sues a Sweeping Order to Hail
roads The Mouth Disease.
By Kxclusie Wire from Tlie Aociited I'rttt
Washington, Nov. 27. Secretary of
Agriculture Wilson today Issued a
sweeping order, directed to the man
agers and agents of railroads nnd trans
portation companies of the United
States, stockmen and others, notifying
them of the establishment of a quaran
tine of cattle, sheep and other rumin
ants, and swine In the New England
states, and prohibiting the exportation
of such animals from the port of Bos
ton until further orders.
Recent investigations by the depart
ment of agriculture disclosed the fact
that what Is known as foot and mouth
disease, exists to an alarming extent in
Connecticut, Rhode Island, Massachu
setts and Vermont. The expert of the
department, Dr. Mohler; Dr. Leonard
Pearson, of the University of Pennsyl
vania, and Dr. James Law, of Cornell,
visited the Infected districts and united
In a recommendation that In order to
prevent the spread of the disease n,
quarantine should immediately be es
tablished. Secretary Wilson said today that this
Is the most serious matter the depart-
.ment has had to bundle fun, some time,
but that all the resources of the de
partment would be employed In stamp
ing out the disease. He declared that
If It should spread west of the Hud
sun river it would be nothing short of
a, national calamity.
Littleton, Mass., Nov. 27. Fully half
a hundred cattle In this vicinity are af
fected with foot and mouth disease. The
trouble broke out less than a week ago
and has spread rapidly. The contagion
appeared among cattle which had come
In contact with no other animals of
their kind for months. In some cases,
however, it is claimed that the disease
can be indirectly traced along a line of
cattle brought from the Brighton stock
yards.
New Haven, Conn., Nov. 27. Secre
tary II. C. Averill, of tho State Cattle
commission, said tonight that not a
single case' of foot and mouth disease
among the cattle of this state had been
reported to him. A statement touch
ing upon this subjec; which was issued
by Mr. Averill on Tuesday last was
merely a warning to the farmers and
horse dealers In the state and was In
tended to prevent, if possible, shipments
ot cattle from other states in New Eng
land, where the disease Is known to
exist.

By i;du-.ic Wire fiom The Aocljted I'rws.
Washington, Nov. 27. The president
has sent the following communication
lo a prominent citizen of Charleston,
S! C:
lcioual,
White House,
Washington, Nov. 2tf. 1902.
M Dear Sir: 1 am In receipt of your
letter of Nov. 10, and of one from Mr.
, under dato of Nov. 11, In refer
ence to tho appointment of Dr. Crum as
collector of tho port of Charleston.
In your letter you make certain specific
charges against Dr. Crum, tending to
show his unfitness In several respects for
tho ofllco sought. These charges are enti
tled lo tho utmost consideration from mo
and I shall go over them carefully before
taking any action. After making these
charges, you add, us a. further reason for
opposition to him that he is colored, and
after reciting the misdeeds that followed
carpet bag rulo and negro domination In
South Carolina, you say that "we havo
swoin never again to submit to the rule
of tho African, anil such an appointment
as Dr. Crum to any f-uch ofilco forces us
to protest unanimously against this In
sult to the white blood," and you add
that you understood me to say that I
would never force a negro on such a
community as yours. Mr. puts
the objection of color-first,- suylng "First."
he Is a colored man. and that of Itself
ought to bar him from tho offlce." In
view of thee last statements, I think I
ought to make clear to you why I am
concerned and pained by your making
them nnd whnt my attitude Is as regards
all such appointments. How any one
could have gained the Idea that t had
said I would not appoint reputable and
upright colored men to ofilce, when ob
jection was mado to them solely on ac
count of their color, T confess I nm wholly
unable to understand. At the tlmo of my
visit to Charleston last spring, I had
made, and slnco that tlmo I have made a
number of such appointments from sev
eral states In which thorr Is a consider
able colored population. For example, I
mado one such appointment In Mississippi,
and another In Alabama, shortly beforo
my visit to Charleston. T had at that
tlmo appointed two colored men as judlc-
l.nl mnirlsfr.itpa tn the TITMtrlnt nf Pntnm-
bln. I have recently announced another j
such appointment for Now Orleans, nnd
have Just made one from Pennsylvania.
The great majority of my appointments
In every state have been of white men.
North and South alike It has been my
sedutous endeavor to appoint only men of
high character nnd good capacity, wheth
er white or black. But It has been my
consistent policy in avery stato whero
their numbers warranted It to recognize
colored men of good repute and standing
In making appointments to office. These
appointments of colored men have In no
state made more than a small proportion
of the total number of appointments. I
am uunblo to seo how I can legitimately
be asked to make an exception to South
Carolina. In South Carolina to the four
most Important positions In the stato I
have appointed three men and continued
in ofllco a fourth, nil of them whlto men
threo ot them originally fjobl Democrats
two of them, as T oni inrormed, tho sons
of Confederate soldiers. X have been In
formed by tho citizens of Charleston
whom T have met that these four men
represent a high grade of public service.
The Door of Hope,
T do not Intend to appoint anv unlit
man to olllce. So far as I legitimately
can, I shall always endeavor to pay re
gard to the wishes and feelings of tho
peoplo of ench locality, but I cannot con
sent to take tho position that tho door
of hope tho door of opportunity Is to bo
shut upon nnv man, no matter how wor
thy, purely upon the grounds of uico or
color. Such an attitude would, according
to my convict Ions, lie fundamentally
wrong, If, as you hold, tho great bulk of
the colored peoplo ar not yet fit In
point of character and lnlluence tn hold
such positions, it seems to mo that it Is
worth while putting a premium upon tho
effort among them to achieve tho charac
ter and standing which will lit thnm.
Tho question of "negro domination"
does not enter Into tho matter at all. It
might a well bo asserted that when T
was governor nf New York I sought to
bring about nero domination n (hat
stato because I appointed two colored
men of good character nnd standing to
responsible portions ono of I hem to n
position paving a salary twice as largo
us thut paid In tho olllco now under con
sideration one of them as a director nf
tho Buffalo Exposition, The question
raised by you and Mr, In the
statement to which T refer It simply
whether It Is to be declared that under
no circumstances shall any man of color,
no matter how upright and honest, no
mntter how good a citizen, no matter how
fair In his dealings with all his follows,
bo pcimltted to hold anv olllce under our
government. I certainly cannot assumo
uch an attitude, and you must permit mo
to say that In my vlow It Is tin attitudo
no man should assume, whether be looks
nt It from the standpoint nf Die truo In
terest of tho white man of the south or
of (ho colored man of the south not to
speak of any other ectlon of tho union.
It seems to mo that It Is a good thing
from every standpoint to let tho colored
uuin know that If he shows in maiked
degree the qualities of good citizenship
the qualities which In a whlto man wo
feel aro entitled to reward that ho will
not bo cut off flrom all hope of similar
reward. Wlthouunny rejsard as to what
my decision may bo on the merits of
this particular applicant for this particu
lar place. I fcoljthnt I ought to let you
know clearly r(y attltndo on the far
broader question) talsed by you and Mr,
'- : on nttltudc from which I havo
not varied during my term ot olllce..
Faithfully yours.

tion Statement of Hon. Wayne

Thanksgiving tiny saw little activity
In mine strike matters. The only par
ties to the controversy who were ut all
active were the miners' representatives.
Late hi the afternoon Attorney Clar
ence S. Darrow, Henry D. Lloyd, Rev.
Peter Roberts, Ph.D.. and a number' of
the. United Mine Workers. Including
National President Mitchell and Dis
trict Presidents NIcliolls. Fahy and
Duffy, had a conference a I. the Jermyn
to piepare for the resumption of tho
hearings before the commission nest
Wednesday morning.
That the conference was more than
casual is attested by the fact that Dis
trict President Nicholls was imexncct
cdly summoned to it from Carhondnle,
where hu and his family bad gone to
spend the day with friends. The only
thing clven out regarding' the confer
ence wlis that it was for the prepar
ation of testimony.
The Next Witness.
Attorney Darrow could not say defi
nitely wliqthe next 'witness will be,
after tho crogEJ-examinatlon of Rev. t)r.l
Roberts Is completed. The likelihood Is,
however, that it will he District Presl-
dent Nicholls. This was the programme
before the ten-day recess was tuken.
The operators promise some interest
ing figures regarding wages. One com
pany. In anticipation of a controversy,
kept tnbs on Its contract miners for
five months, just preceding the strike,
to ascei tain how much time they actu
ally spent In the mines, and will show
to the commission that the average
hours of labor for n contract miner are
not quite six a day. This will be In
the nature of a surprise to tho miners
of the company in question, ns they
wero not nware that tabs were being
kept on them.
A lively discussion can be expected
almost any day after the hearings are
resumed. It will be precipitated by the
operators directly or indirectly asking
the commission to make an announce
ment that the question of recognition Is
In no wise befote the commission for
action.
Miners' Contention.
Tlie miners' representatives will con
tend that the uuestion is heroic the
commission, because it was imu of the
four matters In dispute between the
companies and their employes and they
agreed to submit to the commission the
mutters In dispute between themselves
and their employes.
The operators confidently expect the
commission will unhesitatingly "do that
the question of ii-cii'-tnitlon of the union
was specifically exc-pted from tho mat
ters to be dealt Utli by the commis
sion, nnd that a t'.ir as the ommls
sion Is concerned It does not care tn
hear anything further on this particu
lar subject. Kven hough the commis
sion decides the qu rfiinii as not befoic
it for a decision, fie miners will con
tend that It Miould be discussed so thut
thp commissioner, may be enlightened
as to its merits, and thereby be In post
Hon to recommend or dls.inpiove It a;
a means of preventing further con.
Illeis.
Got on the Record.
At the very outlet of tho hearings
Attorney Wolveiti-ii, In an incidental
way, got It on tho iccnrd that tho oper
ators insist that the question nf recog
nition is not before the commission,
This having been dune, the operators
proceeded, as they view It, securely, tn
combat the contentions In favor of
iccognltlon ns advanced by President
Mitchell,
The purpose of tho operators, sup
posedly, in doing this was to put their
side of the caso before tho public. It
was a matter of general comment that
nil the lengthy discussion on this sub
ject, ns far as the operators wero con
cerned, was addressed to the press bos
rather than the commission.
Ilnth sides are preparing for a lively
battle when this point Is raised, and, II
Is a pretty safe gyess, the commission,
era are also preparing to deal with It
