A Brilliant Game In Which the Victor's Showed Their Superior Strength at the Close. Boston, Nov. 16. Never in the history of college athletics has such avast assemblage attended a contest in Cambridge as that of to-day, to witness a game betwee the Harvard and Princeton foot-ball elevens on Jarvis field. Every seat was taken long before play was called, and a mass of struggling humanity, fifteen to twenty feet deep, entirely encircled tho field outside the ropes. Tho respective teams were greeted with deafening cheers as they came on the grounds for preliminary practice. It was a perfect foot-ball day. The ground was hard and firm, and just a faint northwest wind was blowing diagonally across the field. Fully 10,000 people were sitting or standing about the field when the elevens appeared for their preliminary practice. The Princeton men looked confident, and the supporters of the crimson had an earnest feeling that whatever the outcome, their eleven would make a hard, gamy fight. The teams lined up as follows: Harvard Cummock, left end, weicht ICO; Urton, left tackle, ItiO; Cranston, left guard, ISO; Tilton, center, 190; Trafford, right guard, li 5; fitickney, right tackle, U'; Crosby, rijrht d. 145; Dean, quarter-back, 145; Lee, left kalf-back, 170; axe. right half-back, 160; Trafford, full-back. ICO. Average weight of the team, 1 G5 pounds; average weight of the rush line, 163 pounds. Princeton Warren, richt end, weight, 149; Cash, right tackle, 164; Rises, Tlffbt guard, ISO; George, center, 178; Janeway, left guard, 140; Cowan, left tackle, ISO; Donnelly, left end, 151; Poe. quarter-back, 132; Black, riht half-back, 168; Channing, left talf-back, 144; Ames, fullback, 155. Average weight of team, 164 pounds; average weight of rush line, 172 pounds. Harvard started with a rush and carried the ball into Princeton's territory. After rushing up and down the center of the field, Poe got the ball and carried it into Harvard's grounds. Poe, in ufaking a pass, fumbled the ball, and Crosby, of Harvard, captured it, making one of the prettiest runs ever seen on tho Jarvis field. He carried the ball more than twothirds the length of the field with the fleetest runners of both teams in hot pursuit, and succeeded in making a touch-down, from which Traffortl failed to kick a goal.' At this point Warren, of Princeton, was disqualified for rough playing. Princeton now forced matters fer a time, getting the ball near Harvard's goal line. Channing captured it, and made a touch-down, Ames failing to kick a goal. Harvard again got an advantage, and, assuming a peculiar mode of playing, being satisfied with forcing the ball down, the field, inch by inch. Princeton finally got the ball in front of Harvard's goal, and Ames was enabled to kick the goal from the field. Harvard pursued tho same stylo of play for the rest of tho first half, and succeeded t in making another touch. Princeton 'also made a touch down, but didnotkicka coal. In this half Harvard's playing was far superior to that of Princeton, bhe seemed a sure winner, and when the first half closed with the score fifteen to ten in her favor, the adherents of the crimson shouted themselves hoarse. , In the last half Harvard essayed the same line of play that had proved so successful so far, but sho was balked at every point by Princeton, whose players were much the fresher and stronger. 'Princeton was tho aggTessor throughout, and gradually raised her own score by some brilliant plays. The final score was 41 to 15 in the visitors' favor, the game being finished iu the dark. At the close of the game the victors were carried from tho field upon the shoulders of their friends. Tho news of Princeton's victory in tho foot-ball game with Harvard reached Princeton about 6 o'clock to-night. Fully five hundred students were assembled in the street at the telegraph office to catch the latost arrival of news. When the final score was announced pandemonium reigned supreme, aud tho old town to-night is undergoing one of -the greatest awakenings it has experienced in many years. Amid a display of lire-works, the din of horns, drums, etc., a great pile of combustible material was heaped around the old canon on the campus and burned. After the celebration around the lire, the students proceeded in line to the president's house and the residences of the professors, where brief addresses were made. Cornell, CC; Michigan, O.

President Hewitt, of the Washington Ball Club, Says III Club Will Stick. Washington', No v. 16. Walter F. He witt, president of tho Washington Base-ball Club, returned to this city this morning from the New York League meeting, and, in an interview with an Associated Press reporter, expressed himself as being highly pleased with the results of the meeting and the policy to be pursued by the League. He said that the weaker clnbs of the organization, which had heretofore been in the minority, and had consequently little influence at League meetings, were enabled, because of the attitude taken by the Brotherhood toward tho League, to demand what had been religiously refused them an increase in the percentage of visiting clubs from 23 to 40 per cent. The , meeting,'' he aid, was the most harmonious he had ever attended, and tho disposition aud aim of the delegates was to strengthen the. weaker clubs, and all united in tho fight against the Brotherhood. fco far as tho ashington club is concerned, he said it was in better condition to-day than it ever has been since its admittance into the League, for the reasons that it had no opposition in this city to contend with, and also because it would open the season on the same footing as the remaining clubs in the organization. Is it the purpose of the League to maintain ten clubs with the accession of Brooklyn and Cincinnati?'' "Yes," he responded, "and I wish to state emphatically that both the Washington and Indianapolis clubs are in the League to stay, and that neither will drop out." "Then Washington will have a League club!" said the reporter. In answering this question Mr. Hewitt said that for a time he had seriously thought of sending in his resignation, but now, that the League had legislated to "live and let live" the Senators would be in the battle, even though he didnot receive pecuniary assistance from outsiders. In reply to the question as to why the League adopted the resolution providing that no clubs shall sign a player before Feb. 1. he explained that it was done tor the purpose of killing competition among clubs, and also to abolish the system of paying exorbitant sums of money for releases. It does not mean, however, that negotiations cannot be entered into with a player or club before that date. For instance, if three or more cluDs desire tne services of the same player it is the duty of these rival clubs to notify ' the president of the League, stating tho price o tiered for the player's release, and on Feb. 1 it will be made known which club makes the highest bid, so that neither the player himself nor the unsuccessful bidders will know how much was paid for his (the player's) release. Speaking of the Brotherhood organization, Mr. Hewitt said that he believed its objects and policy impracticable; that the League did not fear them, and were confident of their ultimate disruption. He also said that he did not believe two-thirds of tho League players would sign Brother hood contracts, and that he had contracts between League and players for the season of 1890, some of whom were reputed to bo Brotherhood men. Syracuse Admitted to the Association. Netork, Nov. 1C The American Base ball Association met at the Fifth-avenue Hotel this morning to consider applications for membership, and amendments to the constitution.

It Re-ulta in Straightening Out Matters Between ItuB&ia and Austria. Copyright. 18S9, by theNew York Associated Press. Berlin, Nov. 16. The developments of Prince Bismarck's diplomacy promise to result in permanent accord between Austria and Russia. Tho Czar's visit to Berlin, Count Kalnoky's visit to Friedrichsruh. Emperor William's visits to Monsea and Constantinople, and, finally, the conference between Emperor William and Emperor Francis Joseph, at Innsbruck, have been successive stages of a continuous policy leading toward a settlement The Bismarck scheme restores Russia's dominance in Bulgaria, Russia, in return, recognizing ' as detinitive Austria's possession of Bosnia and. Herzegovinia. . Since this proposal was communicated to Premier Crispi, the latter has intimated to Prince Bismarck that the sanction of Italy might depend upon tho cession of Trentino by Austria. When Count Kalnoky left Fricdrichsruh nothing was settled. The Austrian Minister held that the sacrifice of Trentino was impossible. He considered the possession of Bosnia as already definitive, as it could only be abandoned after a crushing defeat. The Innsbruck interview brought tho negotiations to a climax. Emperor Francis JoseDh consented to "leave Prince Ferdinand to his fate," and said he would not oppose a Russian candidate provided he was elected under the conditions of the Berlin treaty. He practically accorded the Czar a free hand in Bulgaria short of Russian occupation. He declined to consider the question of Trentino. Count Herbert Bismarck went to Potsdam to-night to lean the details of the interview from the Emperor. . The Porte is ready, as soon as it learns that Austria and Russia have accepted Prince Bismarck's mediation, to send a circular letter to the signatory powers denouncing the illegality of tho present government of Bulgaria. Signor Crispi, the Italian Premier, is expected here next week. The press demand Trentino as the prico of Italy's submission. GENERAL FOREIGN NEWS.

FUNERAL T1UEP CAUGHT. He Mourned with the Bereaved and Then the Bereaved Mourned for Him. St. Louis, Nov. 16. Detectives to-day arrested the celebrated funeral .thief who has been operating bere with great snccess for two months. During that time ho has stolen 5,000 in cash and jewelry from homes where funerals were in progress. There has always been noticed among those who attended to mourn with the bereaved, one whose suit was of a little more sombre black, whose grief was just a trifle more pronounced aud whose melancholy countenance oore a look of deeper woe than any of the other mourners present. During the demonstrations of grief and thel solemn ceremonies the man would receive but passing notice, and he was considered as one well acquainted with the deceased. Unlike most of the mourners present, he always declined with thanks any invitation to follow the body to the grave, and would disappear at about the time the services were over and the casket was being taken from the house. When the bereaved family returned to the house of mourning, however, they invariably discovered that from basement to garret drawers were thrown open, closet oor8 ajar, aud every article of value that had been there was missing. Altogether more than thirty robberies have been,reported, and in many cases where detectives attended the funerals the bouses were robbed while the oilicers were on the premises. This morning the solemn thief was captured in the house of Mrs. Hare, on Mound street, just after a funeral. The officers had concealed themselves in the house. He gave his name as Paul Barton. He wore diamonds and a gold watch and carried a complete burglar's kit. He will now have a chance to attend the funeral of his own freedom. VICTIMS OF THE GREAT BLIZZARD. .

A flAXDSOME GIRL SWEXDLER.

Chicago Business Houses Victimized to the Extent of $3,000 ly a Novel Scheme. Chicago. Nov. 1C. Miss Bcrda Hoffman, . a tall, handsome girl, twenty-five years of age, was arrested last evening on the charge of obtaining goods nnder false pretenses. The complainants in tho case are Marshall' Field fc. Co. and James II. Walker fc Co., who claim that they have been swindled out of thousands of dollars' worth of wear ing apparel. The girl's plan was novel and simple, and it is surprising that she was not detected in her crime long ago. Last May she appeared at Marshall Field & Co.J8 retail store, and after introducing her-, self as a daughter of B. J. Werthoimer. an attorney, she said she desired to purchase a quantity of goods on her alleged father's credit. Her story impressed the manager of the storo as being truthful, and she was allowed to purchase over 200 worth of underwear, tho bill to be sent to Mr. Wertheimer.

Come with mo into one of our reed huts, plastered with mud and thatched with grass. It is not quite proof, either, to wind or rain. One man, perhaps, is lying at death's door with dysentery or jaundice, four more are down with fever," and aro vomiting close by your bedside. Two or three others aro "about" who were only j-esterday in tho samo 6tate. Elsewhere they would be considered very ill. The garrison, all told.consiatsof, say twelve. (It was only six when I left- Day after day drags past. There are night alarms .and shots. There are not enough white men to keep a night watch. Every singlo tiriie you go round tho native watches you lind one or more asleep. Thrashing, lining, the coorbatch (orchikuti) nothing is of the slightest effect. It is painfully brought to your mind that an enemy might any nicht walk into your stockade, in spite of all your ditches, your thorns and, your obstacles, and cut your throat before you had time to raise your arm. Fever pulls yon down, and yon become a victim to depression and memory denes your control, while your head is splitting with pain, and dwells on the darker chances of war, or probes some wonnd of the past. A few months of this. Each mail you had looked for some certain

news, which would put a period to this inaction and bring some confirmation of promises made;, each monthly mail is a fresh disappointment, till-At last yon begin to fear that your nervt: is going, and to dream, and worry, and be "not yourself," and the longing seizes you to leave tho place at any price. Then comes the consideration that if one goes others may follow, and perhaps only one or so may be left to face the situation alone. You cannot bolt and leave that one. Then, if all go, you leave to certain massacre several thousand natives, who have absolutely trusted to your promises and your help. Yon dosort them you loso the couutrv forever you desert the missionaries on both lakes. Death may be preferable to such a life, but stay you must. No one but a man whoso nerves were disordered and unstrung by tho strain would feel thus. Yet I am conndent that perhaps not one of the men at Kaionga but has felt this vividly. One after another has said he could stand it no longer only to relent and stay, bound by the inexorablo necessity of the situation. Those who had anxious friends at home, or private trouble, felt it most. I know them intimately some of them gave me their confidence. I speak but of facts. Meanwhile the season has been a gay one in London. The delights of yachting are seductive, grouse-shooting has begun there is no time to think of Nyassa botherations. And those who are responsible for having placed these men there, and for retaining them there those vh03e commercial interests are served by tho retention of Nyassa land, andthose whose public utterances have encouraged the belief that England and Scotland wonld not desert the cause on them lies the duty of solving tho problem. It is no .longer a question of dividends. Speculation as to whether these troubles could have been avoided is useless. It is a question of a heavy and unavoidable responsibility already incurred, which must be faced; and were tho news to come by next mail that the garrison had deserted Karonga I would hold that, in a measure, they were justified, and that the onus of the desertion of tho missions and the massacre of the Wankonde would lie with those who have left theso men exposed to quite an undue strain, with the wqrst of food, badly housed, badly armed, with promises of help nover fulfilled, broken with sickness, for month after month. 1 earnestly desire not to give causo of offense to any.

Boston aTran script. It has been discovered that the pretty girl who takes time by the forelock in her work for the holidays is busying herself just now with all manner, of dainty inutilities in the way of bags. For her Nearest girl friend she makes button bags, six tiny ones, all on a string. Each is made out of a scrap of bright-hued silk, and every scrap is of a different color. A rainbow-tinted collection is produced, very kaleidoscopic and cheerful. The object of the button-bag multiplication is to separate more effectually buttons 61 different ranks and degrees. For her best young man alas, in his inmost soul he may call it jink$," and smile upon it derisively she makes a card-bag. This is of silk, satin, or plush, and just largo enough for a pack of cards.
