WRECKED ON A REEF.

CRUISER CHARLESTON MEETS WITH DISASTER | - CahskyllgMiax Craft. The United Rates cruiser Charleston, which had been patrolling the northern coast of Lamm, waa wrecked an a reef Tuesday, Not. 7.' All on board were saved. The Charleston had been employed cruising off the aorth coast off Luzon, intercepting vessels carrying arms Guam oa her way to join Admiral Dewey, whom she supported with efficiency in the capture of Manila. The Charleston, which waa hnHt in San Francisco in 1888, had a displacement of 3,730 tons, waa 312 feet 7 inches in length, 46 feet 2 inches is beam and 21 feet 8 inches in draaght. She waa as steel, having two propellers, one fennel aad two masts nidi military taps. The Charleston has been in Asiatic waters more than a year. She waa one as the first vessels to he sent to Manila after the drstractioa of Spanish feet by Admiral Dewey, the £?avy Department utilising her for p purpose of staffing ammunition mad other supplies tuf the Asiatic station. Just pwinastotorm aa overhauling at the Mare Bland navy yard, San Francisco, aad therefore was in prime conditiea for her dotieo. The Charleston sailed from-Baa Francisco oa May IS last. She was heavily laden with ammunition for Admiral Dewey’s fleet. She carried a crew or 380 men and no troops. Cluwcs Chilian Warship.

pursuit and capture of the filibustering cruiser Itata at fee time when fee United States and Chili arm very near to war in 1891. The Itata. primarily a userchant vessel, had been enlisted la the ak of the congressional party in Chili while civil war was raging there, and pot to sea from Ban Diego, CuL, May 6 in defiance of United Stabs laws, wife a United States marshal virtually a prisoner oa board. At sea fee Itata took o* a cargo of arms and ammunition from the flmev lean schooner Robert: and Mhmie, ant with it set sail for the Chilian coast. The Charleston on May 9 started in pursuit of tbe Itata wife orders to take her at all hazards. The memorable stern chase lasted twenty-five days. Many thought a naval battle would occur, for i was presumed feat the R—eralda. a powerful ironclad, would attempt to pro tect the Itata, bat no occasion for a. fight arose. When, on June 4. the Charleston arrived at Iquique she learned for fee fits* time that the Chilian insurgents, fearing trouble with the United States, had consented to hand over fee Itata wife all her cargo. The runaway shortly steamed into Iquhqae and was surrendered to Admiral McCann, in charge of the United State* fleet. The Charleston escorted the captive cruiser back to San Francisco and international complieatiaus wife the Latin-American republic were averted.

FOOTBALL GAMES.

Results of the Leadiac Contests oa the Gridiron fhtnriy. , Results of the leading football (ran played Saturday: Pennsylvania, 11: Michigan, lft. Wisconsin. 23; Illinois, ft. Chicago, 76; Northwestern, ft. Harvard. 11; Dartmouth, ft. Yale. 42; Pennsylvania State. Ol Princeton, 12; Carlisle, 0. Columbia, 1G; West Point, ft. Lafayette. 0; Cor AH, 5. Beloit. 5; Minnesota; 5. - Brown, 38; Massachaaettn. 0. As a result of the games settled Saturday three teams —Harvard. Yale and Princeton —may now be regarded as lending iu the East. Pennsylvania's victory over Michigan was by no means decisive, a 11 to 10 score being practically a tie. Chicago's defeat of Northwestern was impressive, but the form displayed by the victors was even more significant of their worth than was the big score.. Wisconsin trounced Illinois, which had already been beaten by Michigan. Brown's victory over tho Massachusetts Institute of Technology proves little. A comparison of the relative merits of teams in the West shows that Chicago, Wisconsin and Michigan are virtually on a par. Wisconsin and Michigan will settle their standing oa Thanksgiving day. After that Chicago's recent showing against Pennsylvania may be compared with that of Miehigaa. both against the Quakers and against the Badgers, and a conclusion possibly reached. If Wisconsin'and Michigan display about equal ability the Western championship will necessarily be still in doubt.

Business Situation.

The K«»» between speculative and commercial i iiuililinnn has been sharply drawn daring the week. In the one case there hfe been farther depressk» and hr fee • increased buoyancy, xhe stork markets have been quite seriously affected by a rise In the call money rates, aad the situation. so far as they are concerned. shows signs of becoming acute. Xu* only has there been liberal selling by the ptofeeskmal element for the decline. but daring fee latter part of the week considerable liquidation has taken fee apparent stringency in Wall and LaSalle streets, as refected in the rise in call money rates, the rate to commercial borrowers has shown little efcrage Time money continues in liberal supply at 6 per cent, and there is no com-, plaint on the iswrtofk^i^mte^sim'm feeling » that even in the case of the stock markets, fee present strain is one feat will shortly be relieved, hence there Is little aneasihese manifested aside from the purely speculative element. The trade outlook is still more encouraging. The railroads are getting mdre bareness than they can handle, and most of fee larger- roads have recently been compelled to place orders for a greatly Increased equipment. Bo insistent has been fee rash off business that steps have been taken to pat it* force a aew aad highrr freight rate schedule. In the case of general business the record of bonk clearings indicates a steadily rising tide of activity. Depression was the pervading characteristic of fee speculative market for wheat, hot wife ail the prevailing bearishness prices of futures did not at any time get more than H cent a bushel below fee lowest point of the previous Saturday. Steadily accumulating stocks, for which surplus over present requirements there is nothing bat a speculative demand. did much to dishearten holders of wheat bought at higher prices. Domestic receipts ary gradually diminishing and proasise before kmg to be reduced to a point that will necessitate purchases from fee stocks held on speculative account. Con maintained a firm front, and'gave no infieation of being much influenced by fee persistent efforts of some traders who. while holding bullish views regarding the ultimate coarse of prices and be- - log wifeont any stock, tried to talk price* down until they canid amend their position in the latter respect.
