Reandlna Mat Great Record for Tram and Coach. (From a Staff Correepondent.) LINCOLN, .Neb.. Nov. 2. (Special Tele gramsBefore the greatnt Thanksgiving day assemblage that ever witnessed a foot ball game on Nebraska field, Booth's Corn huskers today administered a decisive de feat to Illinois university, Nebranka scor ing three touchdown and sixteen point, while the Illlnl were dented the solace of evn a single score. The victory rounded out another year for tha Cornhuskers with out having sustained a defut. and adds further to the fame of Booth a a coach, whnee pupil alo played the entire season cf IVttl without permitting an opponent to core a single point against them. Nebraska's triumph today wns achieved by the display of superior turtles, and be cmim the Cornhuskers were In better phys ical condition than their adversaries. Ill 1 tiols waged a desperate defense in the st half, and besides holding Nebraska safe, carried the ball mors yards than their opponents. Booth men took a surpriclng biace In the final half, and the fury of their attack was far too powerful for the Illlnl to successfully resist It. Three touch downs followed In quick succession, tha t'ornhuskers sweeping down the field by a succession of steady plunges and across the Illinois goal. Nebraska's offense was In Its best form of the year, and. although Illinois fought with Spartan courage for very Inch, the Cornhuskers had scented victory, and would not be denied. Nrorea Which Do Sot Coast. Technically, Nebraska scored a touchdown and a goal from the field, neither of which is plan-ed to their credit In the final score. After the ball had been carried over the Illinois goal It was called back on the ex action of a penalty for holding, and the touchdown was disallowed. Captain Bender on the succeeding play dropped back for a try at' field goal and booted the ball equcrcly between the Illinois goal posts, but Hgitln the penalty was exacted and Ne braska, besides losing the 5 points, was fcet bsok twenty yards tor holding on the line. Or.ly three minutes of time remained, but the Cornhuskers redoubled the fury of their uH.ieV end plunged ahead fpr the final touchdown,' an electrifying sprint by Bender on the quarterback run for twenty-five va-Ha snd a criss-cross fur twenty yards, with Wl'imn carrying tha ball, putting the flml touches on Illinois' defeat. A thrilling struggle fur supremacy was witnessed In the first half. In which neither tejin could score. Knd runs netted prac tically nothing, the runner being, downed sl:n.st Inviirlubly for a loss, and the game re lived Itself Into rf steady assault ' upon the line, the Illlnl having a slight advantage in the ynrds gnliied. Only once were the Illlnl within hailing distance of Nebraska's gnal. A series of line plunges advunred the. ball to Nebraska's twenty-yard tine. The defense of the t'ornhuskers stiffened and Moynlhun fell back for an attempt at a field goal. The whistle Bounded the end of piny before he could get his boot Into action and the last and only chance of Illinois to score was cheated. Nebraska on.-e worked the ball Into Illinois' territory, but a fumble by one of the Cornhuskers' backs cost his team possession of the oval. Wllsoa Hips l Mae. Nebraska's superior physical condition was manifest soon after the whistle unded for tha second half, and when the energy of Ms Illtnolsans gave signs of wan ing the Cornhuskers bent to their task with still greater determination. Twice Nebraska was compelled to resort to a field goal, both of which were blocked, but still Booth's pupils Would not be denied. Wilson, Ne braska's powerful right end, was pulled bg's of the Una and charged forward for a succession of cyclonic advances which Illinois was helpless to stay. Ones oft the checkerboard Captain Bender Instituted a series of tackle masses, ending In Eager being pushed through for the Initial touch down. Wilson scored the second touch down eight minutes later after Nebraska had rushed tha ball from tha middle of the field in a steady march toward the Illinois goal, tha gains varyfng from two to ten yards. Coach Huff sent In five substitutes In the final moments of the game in an effort to check Nebraska's onward advance, but his plan foiled of It's purpose, Nebraska charging steadily down the field and send ing liell crashing through the final score. In yards gained tha honors of the strug gle are very much In Nebraska's favor. The Cornhuskers are credited with 333 yards and Il'tnola with 118 yards. Illinois was held eight times for downs and forfeited the ball or was forced to punt through In ability to gain the necessary five yards, while Nebraska suffered the same fate only .twice. Illinois lost seventy yards on pen alties and Nebraska fifty. In punting, Benedict, Nebraska's kicker, easily out booled Barter and Nebraska gained from five to fifteen yards on every exchange. Coach Booth Mid: "The game was a splendid climax to a successful season. I cannot commend tha Nebraska team too Htnngly fur the fine courage and spirit It displayed today. Illinois gave us a hard fight, but spirit won for Nebraska, as. It will every time. Nebraska was In fine phy sical condition and but for a few bruises every man on the team finished practically uninjured and fighting as hard for victory as when the game began. I am ptoud of the team." Assistant Coach Westovert "It waa the best gama Nebraska has played thia year. Illinois put up a harder fight today than at luwa and their defense was much stronger. Illinois has a great foot bail team and It la a .decided credit to Nebraska for being able to beat them." Captain bender was the happiest man In tha gym last night when the boys rushed (n to -ake aft their, foot ball togs for tha year. 'I am too happy to talk, be said.

HUNGARIAN DIET IS NOISY Load and Bitter Words Cause Suspen sion of Business for sl Time, BCD A PK8T, Nov. 26. -Scenes of Indes cribable confusion marked today's session of the lower house of the Diet. They origin ated In- the proposal to hold two sessions dally. The members of the extreme left vehemently protested and several of them were suspended for disorderly conduct by the ' president, who was the recipient of many Insulting epithets. Finally the pre mier, Count Tlsza, attempted to speak. He called attention to the agreement be tween the different parties on rules of procedure. "You have put all the advantages of that agreement In your pocket," shouted Nicholas Bart ha. "Better not speak of pockets," retorted Count Ttsia. whereupon bartha shouted: "I am not a broken bank director." Deputy Garjary added to the' disorder by Jeerlngly shouting to Count Tlssa : . VYou.hav been called a scoundrel," ; Immediately there was a rush of deputies towards Garjary. causing a seen of wild tumult and scuffling. As a free fight was threatened,' the sitting was suspended. On the resumption of business Count Tlssa appealed to the patriotism of the op position, pointing out the dangers to the constitution by a policy of obstruction. Later, when the president of the house again mentioned the motion In favor of two sessions, the disturbance broke out again and the house ultimately adjourned amid scenes of the greatest excitement. Count Albert Appohyl, leader of the Na tional section of ' the Liberal party, and until October 80, when he resigned, presi dent of the lower house of the Hungarian Diet, has sent a letter to the chairman of the liberal party saying he Is obliged to sever his connection with the party because the proposed double sittings of the lower house of the Diet are contrary .to his Ideas. ' BEAR SHOWING ITS TEETH Rnaalan Newspapers Object to Activ ity of Great Britain la 1 . Thibet.. ST. PETERSBURG, Nov. M.-The news papers here regard the British expedition to Thibet as an attempt to stir up a move ment In China under cover of which the powers will Increase their sphere of In fluence and they appeal to China not to permit the empire to be deprived of Rus sian intervention which saved It on other occasions.

Lhassa, and If they gain control of the Holy Land of Thibet, ministers will regard Great Britain as being the most powerful In the world. The Novoe Vremya adds that while It Is Impossible for the weak Thibetans to prevent the British crossing the, Hima layas.

NEW YORK, Nov. 28.-Among the pas sengers who arrived today on board the steamer Adirondack from Savanllla was Francisco de P. Manotas, a lawyer sent by the Republic of Colombia to the United States in relation to canal affairs. He will go direct to Washington. From Cape Hay tlen to Savanllla, E. Deschamps, vice presi dent of San Domingo, was a pnssenger on the Adirondack. He intended going to Curacao from Savanllla. Mr. Manotas said he could not tell Just what action would be taken to obtain a settlement of the Panama situation more favorable to Colombia, as his instructions had not yet reached him and he had yet to confer with his fellow commissioners, OenJ eral Dlonlslo Jimlnes, Mr. Pedro R. Vales and Dr. Antonio It. Blanco, who arrived from Panama via New Orleans some days ago. They bear the sealed Instructions from the government at Bogota. He -denied tha report that Colombia was now so desperate that she would seek annexation to Panama and move the capital to Panama. While he was not willing to talk' regarding bis mission or to -discuss what -steps would be taken by the Colom bian commission, he was willing to speak of conditions In Colombia and the feeling down there when he sailed eleven days ago: r War with l otted States ot Wanted. ' Colombia does not want to make war on Panama. It wishes to make arrangements looking toward a settlement. It wishes to regain Panama, and. If not. war Is proba ble. To say whether It will make war Is very hard to answer. War with the United States Is not to be considered. He did not care to discuss the possibility that an attempt to' land Colombian troops In Panama might mean a clash with the United States. He continued: The conduct of the United States has been a surprise to us. I have not been to Bogota, but when I left Colombia the feeling against the United States was not strong. I do not think Minister Beaupre Is in any danger. Of course, when I sailed no one knew exactly what action had been taken by the United States. The action of the United States has been directly against the treaty of 18W. The government of this country guaranteed the peace of the Isthmus. Under that treaty the isth mus had no right to prevent the landing of Colombian troops, for Colombia goes there to pacify, to put down an Insur rection and to restore peace. The United States has caused all the trouble In Panama. It la the United States who has made the Republic of Panama and they ought not to prevent the landing of our troops. Colombia does not want war; It wants to retake Panama. Colombia Good to Panama, The canal decision waa not brought about by any consideration of money to De pain uoiomoia. l lie money whs but a little thing. The decision of Colombia waa brought about on the Question of the sov ereignty of the United States over the cansl strip. The United States wanted full sovereignty and that waa the beginning ot the trouble. It is not true that Colombia took nearly all of the revenue from Panama. The gov ernment of Colombia took only the revenue tax of the nation. Panama got all the tux of the state. The motives of the Panama Junta are all wrong. They have no rights. rum the year ikm) to this date Panama has been governed by the liberals or the conservatives. When under the government of the liberals there were errors and many scandals. These acts were approved by certain persons connected with the con servatives. It is these persons who have approved the revolution and have made separation poeslble. Colombia la now ask ing but Justice. The trouble, however, was not brought about by either Colombia's greed or by Its taking the revenue from Panama. If matters were left to ua we would have no trouble In putting an end to it. The Panamanians have declared that they woulld put 10.0m) men In the field against us. Weil, that is certainly so. The next day we could without any trouble put luO.OOU in the field againat them. Colombia sancy to France. NEW YORK, Nov. W.-The Colombian government has notified the Panama Canal company of Paris that it will not allow it to transfer Its privileges to the United States and that In case the concession ex pires the privileges must belong to Co lombia, ssys a Bogota dispatch to the Herald. It Is also stated that the Isthmians have always enjoyed the most ample guaranties and never have been In any way dis turbed. A Panama dispatch to the Herald, com menting on the Bogota information, says: "The foregoing dispatch Is considered on the Isthmus as mere Colombian bravado. It Is p.ot believed here that the French government would countenance those pre tensions on the part of Colombia." The Hay-Bunau-Varilla canal treaty has been published here In English and Span ish.
