GERMANY STILL HOT
UER WRATH AGAINST CHAMBER
LAIN UN APPEASED.
BRITONS MAD WITH HIM, TOO.
THINK COLONIAL SECRETARY"
NEEDS A MI ZZLE.
The Explanatory Letter of Mr.
Chamberlain's Secretary Only
Adds Fuel to the Flame—Antt-
Brltish Movement Not Artificial,
•says German Press—llls Criticisms
Ipon the Prussian Army Cannot
Be Forgiven—British Admit That
lie “Put His Foot in It.”
Berlin, Nov. 23.—Germany continues
to ring- with protests against the refer
ence which Mr. Chamberlain, the Brit
ish colonial secretary, made to the
German army in his speech a Edin
burg. Meetings are being held every
day and there is no sign of abatement
of the agitation. The pastors society of
Gladbach Is circulating a protest which
has already secured the signatures of
nqr pastors, ’mve W urtemberg Veterans
Society has issued a warning against
attaching too great importance to one
man’s utterances.
The letter from Mr. Chamberlain’s
secretary is pronounced here to be
quite unsatisfactory, for, as the papers
note, Mr. Chamberlain takes nothing
back. The press generally regards the
letter as another insult, and reject the
assumption that the anti-British move
ment is artiflcial. On this point the
Cologne Volks Zeitung asserts that the
movement is as spontaneous as it is
possible to imagine, adding • that the
government J)as tried by every means
to suppress it, bit failed in the effort.
Other papers describe the movement
as being the most remarkable of its
kind ever witnessed. The Liberal or
gans, like the Tageblatt and the Vos
siche Zeitung, try to prove that the
movement is directed exclusively
against Mr. Chamberlain, and not
against Great Britain, but the_ Frank
. furter Zeitung admits that German pa
triotic feeling has been inflamed in an
unmistakable manner against Great
Britain.
THE CYNICAL CHAMBERLAIN.
Joey Is Indifferent to Criticism Both
at Home and Abroad.
London, Nov. 23.—Once more has
Joseph Chamberlain, the colonial secre
tary, proved his right and title to be
this moat thoroughly hated British
statesman. The storm now raging in
Germany over his animadversions on
the Prussian army has had a powerful
reflex in Great Britain, where regard
less of party ties, Mr. Chamberlain has
been severely criticised for uselessly
“putting his foot into it.”. On all sides
can be heard irritated expressions of
opinions by English business men and
politicians, who, while they perhaps
believe Mr. Chamberlain was correct in
what he said, denounce the uttering of
6uch sentiments. It is recalled that Mr.
Chamberlain’s utterances regarding the
Czar'and the Anglo-American-German
alliance have been the causes of the
only serious outbreaks of anti-British
feeling on the continent in recent
times.
It is no exaggeration to say that
the financial world of England would
be delighted to see Mr. Chamberlain
muzzled when intending to speak on
England’s foreign relations.
As might be expected Mr. Chamber
lain himself takes the whole affair with
his usual cynical indifference. He is
staying quietly at Birmingham and is
not exhibiting any particular interest
In the storm which he has raised.
At the colonial office a representa
tive of the Associated Press was in
formed that Mr. Chamberlain does not
desire to enter into any controversy
and stands by what he said. If the
German papers continue to misrepre
sent him (this is Mr. Chamberlain's
rolnt of view), why, it cannot be
helped.
As at the other government depart
ments, the belief exists at the colonial
office that the whole agitation will die
a natural death, and that everything
will come out all right.
There is no doubt, however, that
by this latest break Mr. Chamberlain
has seriously, perhaps irreparably,
damaged his reputation with the bet
ter classes in England.
BOTH PRISONERS COMMITTED.
Jackson and Disn dollar Held (or
Trial for Their Vile Practices.
London, Nov. 23.—Public interest in
ihe hearing of the charges against
Theodore Jackson and Laura Jackson
(Ann O’Delia Diss de Bar) at the

feited by their reiteration and there

the hearing was resumed to-day. The
1 hild, Daisy Adams, was recalled and
sharply cross-examined bv the female
defendant, with a view of showing
that her alleged intimacy with Theo
dore was not her first experience in
v ice. Both of the prisoners, testifying
hi their own behalf, denied the charges
made against them.
Jackson said he had been the adopt
sd son of “Swoml," as the female pris
oner has been frequently referred to,
for twenty years.
Though the case waa adjourned for
" week, the magistrate announced that
he would commit the female prisoner

"mi that he would commit Jackson on
charge of unnatural practices.

HORSE SHOW’S CLOSING DAY.
A Long Card Given and a Showy
Parade of Prise Winners—A Bril
liant Wind-up.
New York, Nov. 23. —The longest
card of the week at the horse show
was reserved for the closing day, and
its several attractive features served
to bring a large crowd to Madison
Square Garden. The ponies were fea
tured again, three classes being down
for judgment first. After them came
horses suitable for cavalry, pairs for
harness shown by dealers, an exhibit
of horses from the Street Cleaning De
partment of New York, harness horses
entered for the championship, road
sters entered for the championship
and pairs in phaetons, driven by la
dies. The hunters which got by the
preliminary trials yesterday were final
ly judged and at the close of the day’s
programme there was a showy parade
of prize winners.
The ring committee was as follows:
Day—A. J. Cassatt and George P.
Wetmore: evening—William C. Whit
ney and J. C. Hecksher.
The Finish a Brilliant One.
The wind-up of the Horse Show to
night was a brilliant one. Five cham
pionships were called and this made
the ring spectacles brilliant. On the
promenade, in the boxes and orchestra
seats in the rear all the leaders of so
ciety were present.
One of th“ pleasing features of the
afternoon had been the presence at the
show o( the graduating class from
West Point. When the afternoon ex
hibition was over the cadets became
the guests of the president of the Na
tional Horse Show, Cornelius Fellows,
at dinner, which was given in the cafe
on the Garden. There were fifty-three
memberes of the class present.
The evening programme began with
the judging of a class for harness
horses for special prizes offered by
Frank J. Gould. The Messrs. Lawton
had three entries in this class, but
none of yiem showed and Joseph E.
Widener scored a comparatively easy
victory with Gabrael.
In the middle weight champion class,
Kinloch, Charles Hurkamp. of Freder
icksburg, Va., was successful.
TRAGEDY ABOARD THE CYMRIC
Ohio Man, Cased With Insomnia, As
saults His Wife With a Knife nI
Then Almost Severs His Head.
Queenstown, Nov. 23. —As the steamer
Cymric, from Liverpool, yesterday, for
New York, was coming down the chan
nel this morning, Thomas Halliday of
Ohio, one of her passengers, attempted
to kill his wife and then committed
suicide.
Halliday had recently been com
plaining of sleeplessness. l r e and his
wife boarded the Cymric at Liverpool,
after pasting a couple of months visit
ing friends in County Down. Ireland.
Halliday prayed all night long and
showed evidences this mormug that his
mind was affected. After breakfast
this morning he announced that ail
the people on board the ship were to
be killed, and drawing a knit'e from
his pocket, he commenced hacking his
wife and clashing at his own throat.
Mrs. Halliday struggled to secure pos
session of the weapon, receiving terri
ble gashes on her hands and neck,
and was finally obliged to desist. Hal
liday then continued to hack his own
throat until he had severed all the
veins and muscles, and dropped dead
outside ills stateroom.
HOLDING UP LEE TO BOERS.
Duke of Devonshire Make* Uie of
Mr. Adams’ Eulogy.
London, Nov. 23.—The Duke of Dev
onshire. addressing the volunteers at
Eastborne to-day, referred to the
eulogy recently pronounced by Charles
Francis Adams of Boston upon Gen.
Robert E. Lee. The Duke said he was
quite sure had Gen. Lee failed to rec
ognize defeat when it came, and had
he allowed the Confederate resistance
to degenerate into the sort of guerilla
warfare now being carried on in South
Africa, not only would the Federal
government not have granted the
Southerners the honorable terms it
did, but Lee’s name would to-day have
been generally execrated by every pa
triotic citizen of the United States.

City of Mexico. Nov. 23.—Now that
the Pan-American delegates have re
turned from their excursion, they are
getting down to serious work. In ad
dition to the resolution adopted by the
Committee on Banking and Monetary
Regulation, the Pan-American Railway
Committee, of which Senator Henry C.
Davis is chairman, this afternoon held
-sUr important meeting 1 . -Senator- Davis
presented a long and Interesting re
port. While no definite action was tak
en by the committee, It is understood
that the consensus of opinion of the
committee is In favor of giving every
possible encouragement to an interna
tional railroad. The practical action
which the committee will in all prob
ability take will be, first, to create a
commission with headquarters In
Washington, In which all of the Amer
ican nations are to be represented and
which will keep the project alive by
preventing it from falling again into
abeyance; secondly, to empower Sena
tor Davis to interest American capital
in the project to the extent that may
be necessary; thirdly, to secure a
pledge from the interested governments
of substantial aid to the project, either
in the form of pecuniary subsidy or
lands fo> colonization; and, fourthly,
to pledge the more prosperous countries
to aid the construction of a railroad
through such of the American coun
tries as might not be able, on account
of the condition of their finances, to do
their share of work unaided.
The Committee on Pan-American
Banking and Monetary Exchange, of
which Martin Garcia Merou of the
Argentine delegation is chairman, at
its session to-day, approved the fol
lowing resolution, which will be sub
mitted to the full session of the con
ference on Monday morning:-
“Resolved, That tt is the opinion of
the Committee on Banking and Ex
change of the second Pan-American
conference, that a large banking Insti
tution, located in New York, devoted
to the commercial interest of North,
Central and South America, with agen
cies or correspondents in the principal
cities of the different republics of
America and doing business
upon the same principle, charging
the same rates of interest and ex
change and allowing the same credits
would be of great commercial value
and advantage, and welcomed by the
people of Central nd South America,
and we recommend that a bank of the
character referred to be established
in New York, and that it be encour
aged by the people of Central and
South America. .

FED HIM GLASS AND ARSENIC.
Prominent Memplil* Woman Indict
ed for Poisoning Husband.
Memphis, Nov. 23.—The grand jury
to-day returned an indictment against
Mrs. Maud Emma Hooks, prominently
known, charging her with the murder
by .poison of her husband. Several
weeks ago C. G. Hooks, a well known
business man, died under suspicious
circumstances. A chemist was ordered
to exhume the remains of Hooks and
perform an autopsy. The chemist re
ported to the coroner that he had found
enough powdered glass and arsenic in
the stomach to cause death. The case
was immediately placed before the
grand jury.
Later in the day Sheriff Blackwell
placed Mrs. Hooks under arrest. She
was told she would not be confined in
jail, but that the deputy would remain
in the residence until a bond could be
arranged.
Mrs. Hooks expressed no surprise at
her arrest and said that from the trend
of events the last few days she rather
expected that an indictment would be
found against her.
“I am innocent of the crime,” was
her only comment
At 4 o’clock this afternoon Judge
Cooper, of the Criminal Court, fixed
bail at $20,000. which was promptly fur
nished by Mrs. Hooks, and she was
released from custody. She will be call
ed upon to plead to the indictment o •
Monday next.
Mrs. Hooks was born and reared in
Memphis, her maiden name having
been George Emma Ashcraft. She was
married several years ago to W. H.
Atkinson, a well known and wealthy
business man. Mr. Atkinson died Oct.
2, 1898, and two years later his widow
married Cerro Gordo Hooks, who came
to Memphis from Mississippi, and was
a partner in the R. M. Mansford Com
pany. Mrs. Hooks is reputed to be
quite wealthy and lives in one of the
most commodious residences in Mem
phis.
MRS. DALE* IMPROVED.
She Denies the Motive for the Al
leged Crime as Cruel and Un
founded.
New York, Nov. 23.—Elizabeth H.
Dale, who is accused of the murder
of her 6-year-old child, Emeline, is
still in St. Mary’s Hospital, Hoboken,
N. J., where she was taken after her
arraignment in court. She Is said to
be much improved in her physical con-,
dition. Mrs. Dale is under guard,
day and night.
In trying to establish a motive for
the alleged crime, It has been asserted
that according to the will of her
father, Mrs. Dale would become the
sole beneficiary in the event of her
child s death. Mrs. Dale, however,
claims that she derives her income
from the estate of her grandfather,
and that it is her’* during her lifetime.
Sne could get no benefit, she is said
to have stated, by the death of her
child, and she pronounces the story
groundless, and denounces It as a cruel
outrage.
Elbert Waller, arrested for maintain
ing improper relations with Mrs. Dale,
was released to-day on SI,OOO cash bail!
The money was deposited by a repre
sentative of the Dutch consul.
The body of the Dale child was
placed in a casket to-day, but will
not be buried at once. By direction of
the father, it will be kept at one of the
receiving vaults at Hoboken.

Charleston. S. C.. Nov. 23.—The week
ends with the opening of the South
Carolina Interstate and West Indian
Exposition only eight days off and all
the builders and exhibitors on the rush.
The United States marine corps has
gone into camp on the exposition
grounds for the cn tire expos!tloji_.pe
riod. The government fisheries exhibit
has arrived and will be installed with
in the next few days. Nearly all the
asphalt roadways in the grounds have
been laid. The principal groups of stat
uary have been placed in the court of
palaces. A carload of art exhibits, val
ued at SBO,OOO, came last night, and
several more are on the way from
Buffalo and New York. The interiors
of the buildings are being beautified
by their rich decorations and the mer
chants and manufacturers of the <*ty
have declared their intention to make
the opening day a public holiday. The
grand parade on Monday, Dec. 2, will
be under the command of Lieut. Col.
Charles Morris of the United States
army. A letter was received from Sec
retary Long to-day saying that the
ships of the North Atlantic squadron
will be at Charleston as near the open
ing day as possible, and the great un
dertaking is developing into the most
significant event that has taken place
in the South in the last quarter of a
century.
Some weeks ago a delegation from
the exposition company conferred with
the Secretary of War at Washington
as to the practicability of sending one
of the government transport ships to
Cuba to bring a large number of Cu
ban merchants and planters to the ex
position for the purpose of examining
the conditions of cotton manufacturing
in this country, with a view of extend
ing the markets for American goods
in the West Indies. A letter was re
ceived from the Secretary to-day say
ing that the ship would be sent on this
mission of peace, and It is expected
that there will be a “Cuban” day at
Charleston sometime during the expo
sition, which will open anew door for
the cotton products of the South and
New England in a country which is
now largely supplied by foreign man
ufacturers. This is one of the first
practical proofs of the great import
ance of the exposition from a commer
cial and industrial standpoint, and
there will be a great many more as
the full purpose of the enterprise will
develop from time to time.
The interest in the exposition is
growing steadily every day. Two or
three days ago the construction of the
Louisiana Purchase Company’s build
ing was begun and the site has been
finally determined upon for the Aba
kan building, and to-day the site was
selected for the Cincinnati building.
The Philadelphia building will be for
mally accepted by the commissioners
from that city during the next few
days, while the Illinois building is
ready to receive its furniture and all
lucky visitors who shall have the
good fortune to be entertained under
its hospitable roof.

ALL HOPE ABANDONED.
Bodies of Missing Mine Officials,
Who Went in Search of Bnrled
Miners, May Be Lost Indefinitely.
Pocahontas, Va., Nov. 23. —All hope
of finding the eight mining officials
who entered the West mine yesterday
to search for bodies entombed by the
recent explosion in the Baby mine has
about been abandoned. Up to 1 p. m.
to-day nothing had been heard from
them. A rescuing party entered the
mine this morning, but were able to
proceed only 300 yards. They found the
coat of Superintendent O’Malley hang
ing on a peg about 200 yards in the
mine, but discovered no other trace of
the party.
The mining experts now here have
decided upon a plan of attempted res
cue, but the mine officials refuse to give
any Information to the public. Hopes
had been entertained up to this morn
ing that the party had escaped
through the Tug river outlet, ten miles
away, and messengers were sent at an
early hour to this point. They failed
to find any trace of the party.
Assistant Superintendent King, who
led the rescuing party yesterday and
who was overcome by black damp, has
entirely recovered. He says it is im
possible for a human being to live fif
teen minutes in a mine in the condl
tlon In which this is.
It hit' been raining hard since early
morning and the main entrance to the
mine presents a gloomy appearance
with the friends and relatives of the
missing men standing around.
At 9 o’clock to-night nothing had
been heard from the missing mine
officials. No effort has been made to
enter the mine since early morning,
it being impossible to do so on account
of the enormous accumulation of gases
from the Baby mine. Until the pas
sages connecting the two mines are
entirely closed and the gas forced out
by means of large fans it will be im
practicable to explore the mines. Large
forces are working day and night to
free the mines from gas. but it is im
possible now to form any definite idea,
as to when the mines will be consid-'
ered safe for searching parties to en
ter. Some who are familiar with the
mines claim that it may be several
days before such party could enter.
C. S. Thorne of Philadelphia, the
secretary and treasurer of the com
pany, is still on the ground, and is in
direct charge; sparing neither expense
or energy in an effort to recover the
bodies.
President Campbell of Philadelphia
is en route to the scene, and is ex
pected to arrive to-morrow morning.
The fire has now been burning ten
days. Including the eight missing
men, the probable total-death list dur
ing the period numbers seventeen per
sons. As late as 6 o’clock this evening
hundreds were gathered about the
mine entrance anxiously awaiting
some tidings.

Cambridge, Mass., Nov. 23.—Ven
geance never sweeter and victory nev
er more decisive came to Harvard
this afternoon when her eleven defeat
ed Yale 22 to 0. Three touch-downs,
two of which were converted into
goals, and a goal from the field of a
brilliant execution, were Harvard’s
portion. For Yale there was nothing
but a whitewash. The Harvard men
required about five minutes In which
to start their superb football machin
ery. After that Yale was never in the
playing. In scrimmage tactics, line
plunging, punting and drop kicking,
the Yale men were completely out
classed. The Harvard players gave
also a demonstration of uniform play
that was remarkable, and as a result
the colors of the crimson waved in
joy during the greater portion of the
two hours occupied by the contest.
Thirty-six thousand spectators, a
greater number than ever before gath
ered at a football game, watched the
battle from the mammoth stands.
Three-quarters of the enormous crowd
cheered Harvard, while 9,000 sympa
thizers tried to encourage the over
whelmed wearers of the blue.
Harvard presented a team, the per
sonnel of which was unchanged from
start to finish, and the players who
won glory for the crimson, were al
most as full of dash when the referee’s
whistle sounded for the last time as
they were when it sounded for the
opening kick-off. Yale, on the other
hand, required sixteen men to meet
the onslaught of the Harvard plung
ers. Panic came t 6 Yale and sympathy
went to Yale from the Harvard thou
sands when the crack quarter-back,
DeSaulles, as a result of a flying tackle,
which prevented another Harvard
score, was hurt. A blow on the head
made him unconscious. Later it be
came necessary to remove him from
the field on a stretcher. As the game
progressed Weymouth, Chadwick and
Gould were compelled to retire in fa
vor of substitutes.
A Cleverly Played Game.
The game was as cleanly played as
any ever witnessed on this field. Not
one instance of slugging or unneces
sary roughness was visible. Three
penalties were imposed by Umpire Mc-
Clung and Harvard from the over
anxiety of hSr players thrice lost ten
yards of distance for holding, off-side
play, and Interference. Harvard scored
seventeen of her points in the first
half. In the second half Harvard re
sorted to more punting. Yale played
much better football In the second
half, and Harvard had to be satisfied
with a touch-down which failed of a
goal. Harvard, after the first five min
utes of the game, had possession of
the ball the greater part of the time.
Her goal line was really never in dan
ger. Once in the first half Yale land
ed the ball on Harvards 20-yard line,
where Harvard forced DeSaulles to try
for a goal from the field. He failed.
In the second half Yale, by the fierc
est play, reached the enemy’s 9-yard
line, only to lose the ball on downs.
The crimson’s weightier line and
faster back field worked out the touch
down the second half, but Cutts could
not make the goal against the wind.
In the Locker building, after the
game, Harvard’s players were all in
the highest spirits. Not a man was
seriously injured. Kernan’s weak an
kle was strained a little and Cutts
hurt his knee slightly, but the rest
of the men showed no effects beyond
a few scratches and black eyes.
Vale Badly Broken I p.
The Yale team was very despondent
and took their defeat hard. There
were many who limped badly. De-
Saulles was the worst injured. He was
kicked on the head and It was thought
at first that he had concussion of the
brain.
The Harvard students, after their
celebration at the field, marched
through the square and around the
college yard, cheering and singing. Red
fire waß burned on every side and fire*
works were set off. Finally the men
started for Boston to finish their denrj
onstration.
