CHICAGO , Oct. 2S. The foot ball eleven of the Unlvcislty of Pennsylvania , barely oacaiit-d defeat at the hands ot University of Chicago eleven today In a game that , for dcsptruto playing , has seldom been equaled In the west. Thu final score was a tie , both tides Hcorinri a touchdown In the second half and neither kicking a goal , leaving the total score 5 to 5. Bolter foot ball , so far ns clean , snappy plajlng is concerned , has been seen In two or thrco games this season , but for sheer gamuness , f r rallies when to jleld the least bit would icsult In a touchdown , and for situations tending to produce heart disease , the game was certainly remailiable. Five Units the Chicago eleven had opportunities to score , twlco by place kicks with the ball In a favorable position , and thrco times get ting the pigskin Insldo of Pennsylvania's live-yard lino. But only once were the ma roons able to get the ball over the goal line nnd that when defeat seemed almost a cei- talntj. Poor generalship on the part of Captain Kennedy of Chicago In attempting to ecnd Slaker through Pennsylvania a left guard , Hare , lost the ball for Chicago on downs when It was within two yards of the goal line In the isecond half , and when finally , a iovv moments later , Wellington was pushed over for the tlelng touchdown , the Chicago captain missed an easy goal It was his attempt at a fake kick , too , that ulti mately reaultcd In Pennsjlvnnla's score , Kennedy dropping the ball when tackled and Pennsylvania secured It on Chicago's forty-olght-jard line. AVith Chicago's goil line in sight Pennsylvania's big guards toro the Maroon line to pieces and Davidson was finally pushed over. But Chicago's goal line was not again In danger. Early in the first halt Chicago discovered that Pennsjlvanla'a left end was weak and tlmo and again Hamlll and Welling ton got around for substantial gains. But with the ball within a yard of the goal line , Pennsylvania made the most desperate Bland of the game. Thrco times the line hold and , when Uie masi of plt.jcra un tangled after the last down , the ball was still u foot from the line Coomba , an In- slant later , punted out ot danger and when tlrno wao called the ball was on Chicago's forty-fivo-yard line. Chicago's all-around playing was superior to that of the Quakers The latter were utterly unable to get around the Maroons' ends and in the first half were frequently hold for downs , even when using the dreaded Kuards back play , which has brought vic tory to the red and blue in many games. In the second half , however , the awful hammering told severely on the Chicago for wards nnd during the series ot plays vvhleh resulted In Pennsylvania's touchdown they ncro played off their feet. The play was also used with good effect toward the close of the game and shortly before tlmo was called the big Pennsylvania guards wore dragging their backs through for five to ten- jard galnc. But moHt of the time during the second half the ball was well within Pennsylvania's territory nnd only the fiercest kind of playIng - Ing by the vvellntgh exhausted Quakers saved them from defeat. Notwithstanding the fact that rain had been falling steadily since Thursday morn ing , the gridiron at Marshall field was In fair condition. Careful draining and effi cient applications of sawdust prevented the field from getting soft , and when the play ers lined up for the klckoff the field was In better shape than had been hoped for. A crowd of fully 0,000 enthusiasts wit nessed the struggle , Including several hun dred rooters for the red and blue of Penn- nylvaln. nd the latter team did not lock encouragement so far as cheering was con cerned.

( Copyright , 1SDD , by Press Publishing Co. ) LONDON , Oct. 28 ( New York World Ca blegram Special Telegram ) The mystery of Chimberlaln's suppressed correspondence between Bouchler Hawkesloy , solicitor , and Cecil Uhodes , deepens Even those moat fitmly convinced that Chamberlain is too shrewd to commit himself in a way Hkcly to lead to detection In eo risky an cntei- prlso as the Jameson raid , have their faith shnken by his tricky offer to reveal one letter to Harland or Bannerman and hlo subsequent unqualified refusal to give the correspondence to Parliament. Suspicion Is also aroused by the other fact revealed the first tlmo by Labouchere , who was a mem ber of the South Africa , committee of In quiry Into the raid nnd conspiracy and who , with Edward Blake , retired , as a protest against the decision of a majority of the committee in refusing permission to cross-examine Hawkesloy when the com mittee was sitting en camera. Labouchore , who declares at the outset he thoroughly believed in Chamberlain's Innocence , eaja : "Whilst It Is pcsslble the character of these telegrams and eteps necessary to ob tain them were being discussed by the com mittee , Chamberlain never hinted he had seen them , although as a member ot the committee he ought to have done so. At length ono day when the committee was In consultation Harcourt asked him point blank whether he had seen them. After a pause of about a minute ho replied ho had. I al- waja suspected him after this" Labouchere having described how he was defeated through the action of a majority of the committee In questioning Hawkesley about Incriminating cable1 ; and letters , reveals - veals another Incident which ban created : an Impression very unfavorable to Chamber lain : "When the debate on the report of the committee took place In the House Howkos- ley placed these letters In the hands of a member of Parliament , with directions to reid them It Chamberlain sold one word In attack upon Rhodes.Vo know what occurred on that occasion. Chamberlain having agreed to a report In which It was declared that dishonorable conduct -nas proved against Rhodes , did not attack him , but -went out of his way In asserting he had done nothing dishonorable. " l'ro\c Cliiiinbcrlnlii'H Compllelty. Labouchere adds that he never saw the letters and only knows that Hawkesley , who is a clever solicitor , solemnly asseverated I they would prove Chamberlain's complicity i In the raid to the hilt. Philip Stanhopo do- I tormlned to pursue the matter at the ne\t i session nnd meanwhile by every kind of public prcseuro render further concealment ' by Chamberlain only possible or equivalent by admission of guilt. But this Is only ono of Chamberlain's present troubles. Wednesday be was asked In the House ot Commons why ho never utilized Montague White , Transvaal consul general , as a channely White's desire for peace being well known. Chamberlain's cxcuso was1 " [ have alwayo understood that White's functions In this country were rather ot a commercial than a political kind , and it never entered my mind to seek an Inter view with him to communicate with Kruger on matters much better communicated by Milner at the Cape. " He added that thcro was no reason -why Whlto should not hive called at the colonial office if he had wished. It Is shown by the Chronicle that Chamberlain availed himself of White's services as an Intermediary after i tbo Jameson raid , when the object was to ( soothe Krugcr's [ susceptibilities , In which . White gave valuable aid , Furthermore , when Chamberlain began to agitate the suzerainty question he considered n part and parcel of that claim that no foreign repre sentative In the Transvaal should be rec ognized by the British government and stopped White's visits to the colonial office. This Is only ono of the many episodes , all converging to the came point , that show- that Chamberlain systematically eliminated every factor that could tend to peace. ItlKornim 1'roNM CcnMorNhln.

( New York World Caglegrain Special Telegram. ) William T. Stead , speaking of the American peace memorial to President McKlnley , said : ] "It will bear fruit , I hope , in the near future. If President McKlnley had listened to the prayer of the memorialists and had offered mediation , there Is reason to fear It would have been refused under the malign Influence of Mr. Chamberlain , who has erected a fantastic Idea of British suprem acy Into a kind of fetish a new Moloch ' before whom he Is offering today hun dreds of human victims. It stnnds on rec ord , however , that If President McKlnlcy , or any other rational person could have inedl- filed between the two disputing states war would have been avoided and for this rea son the only question that divided them was , according to Mr. Chamberlain , a mere matter of form. "He declares that he had accepted nlne- tcnths of President Krugei's proposals , but unfortunately , he couched his acceptance in terms unintelligible to the Boers , who were , not unnaturally , suspicious ot the good faith of the man whom they believed was up to his neck In an attempt to Jump the Trans vaal for England at the time of the Jameson raid. The Intervention of a sane neutral , capable of expressing himself articulately , would at that Juncture have shown the dis puting powers how nearly they were agreed and a war might have been averted which now Is letting loose the flames of hell in South Africa. "What I venture to hope Is that the ex perience of the first two months of the war will bo such as to compel Mr. Chamberlain to rccognlzo that ho has to deal with a fee not to bo despised , and n state en titled to claim the good offices of a friendly mediator. Horrible as this war Is , it has already let a good deal of gas out of the swollen heads of our British Jingoes , and the bettor the stand made by these valiant Dutchmen for their fatherland the greater the pocslbllltles that the conscience of Great Britain will bo touched by the pathos and heroism of the situation. "General Duller cannot begin the advance Into the Transvaal until December. It maybe bo that circumstances before then will pre dispose both combatants to welcome the Intervention of a friendly state. I do not think that In any circumstances the Brit ish government would tolerate any media tion but that of the United States. Amer ican mediation , however , Is a possibility. Therefore , I hope that the World will keep Its army of memorialists mobilized for re newed action the moment the course of events In South Africa Justifies a renewed appeal to McKlnley. Itwould Indeed he n noble bequel to the Illustrious part played by tha American delegates nt The Hague conference If the president were able to In tervene between the warring nations lo overt the prolongation of a conflict which although it must be Indefinitely continued can never produce a lasting settlement In South Africa. " I.iilxiiieherc ConilcmiiM the Wnr. Henry Lahouchere , M. P. , publishes reasons opposing the Transvaal war : "What nro wo really fighting for ? Certainly not for the Ultlandors or their grievances , for the majority of them nro mere speculators , hoping to make money by the reduction of taxation on the mines and the ups and downs of the Stock exchange. The real workers In the Transvaal have shown their dealro to bo allowed to continue to earn largo wages. "Is It to extinguish a consplrapy of our own colonists of Dutch origin and Boers of the two republics to drive the Anglo.Saxon out of South Africa ? Such a conspiracy Is a piece of the wildest Imagination ; para mount as wo nro no war Is needed to es tablish our pre-eminence , "lo It to secure to Ultlandcrs a vote after five years' residence In the country ? Presi dent Kruger offered It. "That Mr. Rhodes , reckless adventurer In the past , possessed with a lust for power and In part a lust for gold , should seek to create a situation by means of which h * may gratify these two lusts can ho under stood , but why should an English minister be possessed with a desire to drag us Into an unjust and Impolitic war ? I can only account for It by the fact of Chamberlain's personal antagonism to Kruger having got the better of him , his restless ambition for attracting attention to himself and the exigencies of his peculiar position ns an ex- radical In a tory government. Should he ho allowed from these motives to convert South Africa Into a battlefield , to create a race antagonism the embers of which bo himself admits will last for generations and cause deaths Innumerable of British soldiers and Boer farmers ?

( New York World Cablegram Special Telegram ) -How much hnvo the South African millionaires already benefited In actual money b > this Trans vaal war. which Is their handiwork ? That U a. dinicult qmstlon to answer definitely , but It Is not tin exaggeration to say that the boom In Kntllr shares probably has already cmbled then to scoop In from $10,000,000 to $15,000.000. The shares of the Hand mine , ono of the biggest Joint block companies , which stood nt "i1 at the last settlement before the \vir was declared , stand today nt 41. Every Knlllr share has Increased In value from ono to four or llvo points. The Statist , reflecting soberly the wild dp- light on the South African market , predicts this boom has come to etuy , giving Its rea sons thus "The unrest will disappear , reforms and modified working conditions will mean much to the mining districts and will permit a great number of piopertlcs being developed which In the past have not been worked energetically for the reason that the bedi of ore hnvo been of such low grade that under the old conditions It would not have paid to provide the. cipltal necessary to work them. But with the disappearance of the excessive cost of dynamite and the organization ot n supply of labor v\lth nil ctncleut detective force to put a stop to thefts , the gold amalgam companies that have worked with profit iu the past will bo enabled to make larger profits and tom- panles which have been kept from working because of the mediaeval government will have an opportunity of starting under fair conditions. Wcro only five shillings ( $1.25) ) per ton benefit to bo secured In the workIng - Ing cost , the saving which would be pure gain -would mean about 2,000,000 ( $12,500- 000) ) addition to the profits. "In addition to the appreciation of Its shares , the DcBeers Diamond Mines com pany , ot which Cecil Illiodes is the largest stockholder , and In which nil the so-called reform leaders at Johannpsbuip ; nro heavily Interested , has reaped an enormous Im mediate gain by the Increase In the value of diamonds Corner nil Diamond * . "Bernard Cohen , the president ot the Diamond club of London , sajs on thlb point : 'The DeBeers sjndlcato recently restricted the output ot diamonds , sending up the prlco 33 per cent. The war , now Doming on the heels ot this restriction and stopping the mines altogether , boa already Incicascd the THico 12 per cent moro , so that the total In crement Is 15 per cent. ' " The DeBeers syndicate holds n Block of diamonds which was valued before the war at $15,000,000 and Is mw worth $18,000,000 more. Already a greedy horda of company promoters Is gathering In Capetown nnd Durban ready to swoop down on the Trans vaal when the union Jack floats over Pre toria and secure concessions of land , some valuable , some valueless , but all to bo ex ploited on the European Investing public In the usual way at an cnoimously Inflated price.

MINNEAPOLIS , Oct. 28 The Minnesota congressional delegation will make a united effort to have the two Dakotns taken from the Nebraska Internal revenue district and attached to the Minnesota district , In accord ance w 1th their business alllllatlons , It In claimed the movement will bo supported by tha business men of the Dakotas. Congressman Mercer v aa seen Saturday night in regal d to the above and said "Well , this matter was broached some tlmo ago , but from Information 1 am able to gather I think the Minnesota , delegation will hardly bo able to succeed In the at tempt. The fact that North Dakota la closely connected with Minnesota by reason of nor railway facilities should not overbalance thu fact that South Dakota Is 03 closely con nectedwith Nebraska In the name way.
