Cambridge, Mass., Oct. 26.—Overwhelmed,
•broken and shattered, but fighting desper-
ately to the lust, Cornell went dcftvn before
the heavier and stronger Harvard eleven
this afternoon by a score of 25 lo 0. Cor-
nell was badly defeated, but they made? a
game light and played pluckily from start
po finish. It was a clean game, without
struggling or brutality, end the new rules
on their first n?al trial worked like a
oharm. Cornell played Harvard to a dead-
lock in the first half, but the pace was too
hot for her to maintain, and in the second
half Harvard played with twice the da*h
and vigor, while Cornell weakened and
s'howed that Harvard's constant hammer-
4ng at the line was to much for her to
stand uip. agaOnst. Six thousand people
were gathered around the gridiron. Cor-
nell's famous old kicking full back, Billy
Ohl, was sorely missed, for the contest w is
distinctly a kicking game and tne visitors'
inferiority at this point, especially in u-
cccving Brewer's long punts, \va*s much
against them. In the second half the
Ithaca boys could not withstand the re-
peated onslaughts of the crinnon backs,
and Brewer, Fairchfld, PabJt and Gmter-
man wunt plowing through 'tackle and cen-
ter with telling effect. Harvard scored all
htr points in 'the stvon 1 half, four touch-
downs, from which only two goals were
kicked, and a splendid goal from the field.

STEVE BRODIE'S OFFER.
Chicago, 111., Oct. 26.—Steve Brodie Is dis-
gusted at the fistic fiilaco and has deter-
mined to see whether Corbett and Fitzt-im-
mont* really want to fight. He accordingly
offers a purse of $6000 to be contested for
in private, with twenty men on a side. He
has posted a forfeit of $500 with the Inter-
Ocean, and says he stands ready to pu'.i the
fight off at any time. No one doubts for a
moment that Brodie, even without a for-
feit, will make good 'his offer. He admits
that he is not unaware of the advertising
that such a scheme will tbring him, 'but is
fW'Ming to pay $5000 to see who is the cham-
pion.
"I am worth $70,000," said Steve, "and cam
afford to spend a umaM part of it out of
curiosity. I am tired of hearing those fel-
lows taf.k and want to see them fight. Here
is $5000 for one of them to pick up. I won't
charge a cent to the forty men who will be
admitte l and won't make u cent out of the
fight. If they want to fight, here is the
money; if they don't want to fisht, they are
newspaper fighters, not prize fighters."
When asked where he expected to pull off
the miU, Brodie declined to name the exact
locality.
"You may say," he said, "that ft will take
place in the rotate of New York. I have
pu^ed off fights there before and can do it
again. I won't advertise it. I wlii rtimjiv
notify the 'men where to come, and the
first the public knowe of it. it will read the
account of the battle. That is the way to
fight."
JAWING AT LONG RANGE.
Hot Springs, Ark., Oct. 26.—Corbett and
Fitzsimnions are still holding a jawing
match at long range. Whether they will
get any nearer to each other the next few
days will demonstrate. All sorts of ru-
mors have been floating about to-day to
the effect that there is something going
to drop that will prove a surprise to the
people. Whatever their# may be behind
this desultory talk, certain It Is that Cor-
bett is still here and declares he will be
r«ady for any fistic contingency that may
come up. If anybody has received any
communication from the Corpus Christi end
the fact was not made public. A telegram
Was sent to Fitzsimmons, signed by W. L.
Babcock of this city, guaranteeing protec-
tion If tie would come. If any response
cam/e back Babcock and his associates
have not seen it.
JULIAN IS MUM.
Corpus Christi, Tex., Oct. 26,—Martin Ju-
lian arrived here last night from Hot
Springs, but has little to say, although he
states he will have important disclosures

and Julian will leave Coruus Christi lor
Hot Springs, when they will be ready to
report tor light on the 31st and claim the
forfeit.
THE GREAT REGATTA.
Austin, Tex., Oct. 26.—Preparations for
the regatta hore are going on at a lively
rate. Headquarter? is open day ami night
anil the work of booking and routing the
oarsmen still goes on. The famous English
four-oared crew and trainer, Gus Brewer,

Captain Crotty received a letter from
Richard K. Fox this morning; wherein he
states that the deed of gift for the $1000
challenge cup lias been drawn up and tor-
warded. John Teenier has won the cup
once, and "-mould h win here it belongs to
him. In writing of the crew Mr. Fcx says:
"Carry is the giai.i of the party, lie
stands over 6 fee* 1 inch In height and is
built on herculean linis. with square
shoulders and arms admitting of almost
unlimited ivac'h. He is 23 yours of age
ami has i dread y arned a big reputation
as a sculler and member of u crew. Win-
gAte Is a dead ringer for Steve O'Donr.ell.
though a bit shorter. He measures about
r. iVet 10 inches and is 25 years of age.
Haines is of medium build and well de-
velcped proportion. Bubear's individuality
is already well known in American profes-
sional ranks. Bubear exj resses his willing-
ness to meet Gaudaur, while Barry is iom-
ingafter H'anl'an. E.»< hofthe K; irishmen
can not only scull, but row fast in a pair
or four combination, and they are conti-
d»nt they will at least break even in the
division of spoils."
Continuing further. Mr. Fox says: "Re-
fcre leaving England the four had a rous-
ing reception at the Hammersmith The,iter
of Varieties. In addition tc the regular bill
there were several boxing bouts, the wind-
up being between Jack Wlngate, who will
stake the champion four, and Joe Steers,
the English champion amateur boxer. The
men had previously been alioat for their
final spin and delighted the critics with
their work. The London and Southwest-
ern railway gave them a special car lo
Southampton."
The Englishmen are expected here to-
morrow.
A CUP CHALLENGER.
London, Oct. 26.—It has been learned by
the Associated Press that the withdrawal
of the challenge of Mr. Charles D. Rose
for the America's cup will not affect the
intentions of Mr. Herbert Muir, the
wealthy Australian merchant, regarding
the yacht Westralla, which he intends to
build* with a syndicate for the i urjvose of
challenging for the America's cup in 18%.
The Western Australians are to hold a
bis banquet in November, which will be
presided over by a distinguished sporting
peer, and It Is expected that a pronounce-
ment In regard to the Westralla will then
be made, it is actually settled that the
Westralia will be 'built on the Clyde.
THE L. A. W. CASES.
New York, Oct. 26.—The action of the
racing board of the League of American
Wheelmen in delaying taking action upon
the charges made against L. IX Catoanne,
F. J. Titus and C. M. 'Murphy, the class
B men, of violating rules, has given rise
to the opinion that the charges matte
against these riders are groundless, and
that the hesitancy of the bo«rd in an-
nouncing the Result of i'ts investigations is
due to its reluctance to censure one of its
own board. F. J. Titus, the well known
class B rider, who Is implicated with Ca-
h.vnne and Murp'hy in negotiating a deal
to arrange a race in St. Louis in August,
said that he believed the racing board
would render a decision upon the charges
within one week. Titus expects that the
accused will be fully vindicated, and af-
ilrms that not a particle of tangible truth
is in existence to convict any of the men,
While ample evidence has been submitted
to the racing board to exonerate -the men
from the charges.
THE DALLAS FRANCHISE.
Dallas, Tex., Oct. 25.—Mr. J. C. Mc-
Nealus, ex-pre3ident of the Texas-Southern

News reporter to-day: "I have purchased
Mr. Sullivan's Dallas franchise for myself
and a friend In this city who has ample
means to successfully push a venture in
baseball. 1 have been negotiating with
Mr. Sullivan for nearly a month."

GEORGETOWN GOSSIP.
Politics Leads to an Altercation on the
Streets Between Two Gentlemen.
Georgetown, Tex., Oct. 25.—A fist fight
be'ween ex-Senator G. W. Glasscock, a
recent convert to populism, and Mr. Robert
Johns, an enthusiastic democrat, was
"pulled off" on the streets to-day in front
of the First national bank. A large crowd
gathered and friends separated the com-
batants before the first round was finished.
Some blood was spilled and a number of
bruises sustained. The trouble grew out
of a newspaper article written by Mr.
Johns, in which he severely criticised Judge
Glasscock's politics. Before a large audi-
ence In the court house last Saturday
Judge Glasscock repudiated the statement
of 'Mr. Johns and applied to him strong
adjectives. Mr. Johns was out of town
when his article appeared, and only re-
turned to-day. The parties met with the
aibove results.
Strenuous efforts are being made to raise
$25,000 with which to make additions to
Southwestern university. About half that
sum has already been subscribed, and :he
trustees have strong faith in being able
to raise the balance at an early date, and
giving to the college buildings the in-
creased* capacity so much needed.

siding near Lu'iing came to the city to see

to the San Pedro district, where they do
such things and say such things, and con-
cluded the evening'd fun by •andbagging

n.oney and silver watch. The farmer Is In
he city hospital. The strangers have not
■been apprehended.

MRS. JAMES B. EUSTIS.
Paris, Oct. 26.—Mrs. James B. Eustis,
wife of United States Ambassador J. B.
Eustis, died suddenly this morning at Ro-
tath, Ireland, of heart failure. She had
been ill but a few days. Mrs. Eusti9 at the
time of her death was visiting at the coun-
try residence of her nephew, Wm. Eustis.
Mr. Eustis had just been notified of the ill-
ness ot' hl.s wife and was at the embassy
preparing to start for Ireland when he re-
ceived the dispatch announcing her death.
Mr. Eustis. who was suffering from an at-
tack of bronehltis, sustained such a severe
shock that his condition became worse, but
if his physician permits he will proceed to
Ireland. The funeral ceremonies will prob-
ably take place at Rotath and the body

SOUTH CAROLINA CONVENTION.
Columbia, 'S. C., Oct. 26.—In tihe constItu
tional convention to-day Whipper, a col
ored delegate, addressed the convention for
two hours, contending that the negro had
never been responsible (for the frauds com-
mitted In South Carolina when they were
In power, but that it was the work of de-
signing white men, for whkrh the negroes
wore not responsible. He declared that t'he
scheme of disfranchisement before the con-
vention wwa gotten up by designing -men
for Lhelr own interests. Though it would
be passed, tihe negroes, Whipper said,
would flght %t in the supreme court «f the
limited mates and ootigress, and if all
those 'f&lAed* before the people of the coun-
try. -
He was followed by Robert Small, al-so
DulortaL .Wlhtt u/AlCftkd lii&l the negro waa
'here to stay and that it was to the inter-
est of the white men to see that he got all
of his rights. Debate was then adjourned
over until Monday.
THE DURRANT TRIAL.
San Francisco, Cal., Oct 26.—The trial
of Theodore Durrant is neoring its close
and the case will probably go to the jury
next Thursday or Friday. Attorney Dick-
inson, for the defense, has said he will
conclude on Tuesday morning, to which
day the case has been continued, and At-
torney Duprey, also for the defense, will
probably finish for Durrant on Tuesday
afternoon. District Attorney Barnes ex-
pects to begin his argument on Wednesday
morning and to complete his closing ad-
dress on the same day. Judge Murphy's
charge will be long and exhaustive and its
delivery may occupy a day. The exhibits
are numerous, and in the case of some
will require much study on the part of the
jurv. This is particularly true of the com-
parison of the notes of Durrant and those
made by Student Glazer, whom Durrant
quizzed. It Is understood that the district
attorney will parallel the two sets of notes
and argue that Durrant's could not be
more like Glazer's without having been
copied verbatim. The district attorney will,
it is said, also attack the roll call and will
call attention to the error in making stu-
dents present when absent.
DURRANT'S LETTER.
San Francisco, Ca>l., Oct. 26.—The Exami-
ner says the contents of the mysterious
letter whl^h was to be opened In case
Theodore Durrant was convicted- are
known. In this letter it is said Durrant
makes the statement that he saw the last
details of the murder, and saw Rev. J.
George Gibson and another man, prominent
in church affairs, binding over Blanche
Lamont. The Examiner says that although
Durrant refused to allow his lawyers to
open the letter until he was convicted,
they have opened it, and so remarkable
were the statements contained that even
they did not believe them, and refrained
from using them In Durrant's defense.

POLITICAL.
HILL IN OHIO.
Cleveland, O., Oct, 26.—Senator filll spoke
three times with ex-Governor Campbell to-
day at Fos'toria and Findlay this afternoon
and at Lima to-night. In discussing the
democratic tariff law at Findlay Senator
Hill said it would finally work out for
ihe good of the country. If a mistake
was made .In collecting too little taxes
that could be remedied. At least the
money which had not been collected was
still In the pockets of the people and not
lied up In the treasury as a surplus.
Mmes began to improve, he said, as soon
as the McKinley law was repealed. That
measure had caused a d-eflclt of $59,000,000
the last year of its life. Senator Hill said
the democrats could win in Ohio j/ they
polled i»0 per cent of their vote in »i892.
At Lima 2000 people greeted Senator !D.
B. Kill, ex-Governor 'Campbell, Senator
Brlce and Mr. J. B. Peas lee, *There were
a!t*o a big parade and a reception at the
opera house, while ex-Governor Campbell
s.poke at Music Hall. Senator Hill, after he
wan through at the opera house, came to
iM'Uslc hail and addressed the great crowd
there. Hill's speech was mainly an exhor-
tation to tihe democrats to stand together
and a eulogy on ex-Governor Camipibell.
Governor Campbell stuck to his text, the
corruption of the Ohio legislature and the
viceri and abuses of bosSiam in Cincinnati
whioh he handled in his uaual sty-le.
Senator Brlce was weOl received at h's cOd
home; in fact, all the speakers got ovations.
At 5 o'clock the speakers all started on a
special train for Dayton. Crowds were In
waiting at aid points on the route to receive
them. Both 'Hill and Campbell spoke to
•large and enthusiastic crowd! along the
line. At >ST.dneytthe Dayton committee met
them and the run iwad made straight to
Dayton, where the party stops for a much
needed rest.
DEMOCRATIC COMMITTEE.
Indianapolis, Ind., Oct. 26.—In an inter-
view S. P. Sherin, secretary of the demo-
cratic national (itnmittee, says he does
not believe the committee will meet before
the middle of January to fix the time and
place of the national convention. He says
a conference of the officers of the com-
mittee has not even been suggested. But
there seems to be an Impression among the
republicans that there will be a long, hard
fought campaign. Said Mr. Sherin: "The
leaders of the party seem to believe they
ought to get into the campaign as early as
possible. I believe the democrats would
like to see a short campaign,"
