PARIS , Nov. 25. ( New York World
Cablegram. Special Telegram. ) It was nr
Interesting half hour that the king of Greece
spent at the Paris Theater of Varieties whcc
ho Invited to his box the charming Qcrraaint
Gallols , elngcr nnd dancer , who shares will
tbo Princess Victoria ot Wales the devotion
of Prlnco George , the gallant sailor , prince
of the Hellenes and administrator of Crete ,
All the world has heard how Prince
Gcorno Is breaking his heart over hU
EngWJh cousin , to whom ho had vowed all
his love , and whom the stern Greek religion
forbids him to marry. But not every one
knows that the prince , while ho sincerely
wooed his' royal cousin , loved also , very
ulncercly , the beautiful and clover actress
of the Varieties. George of Crete loves n
pretty face and a graceful turn of speech.
Ho has been a constant visitor to Paris.
Sometimes ho has como In state , as when
the czar was feted by the French. Some
r times ho has come ns a private citizen , Just
to have a , good tlmo. But always he has
been to tbo Varieties In the evenings and
applauded sprightly Gcrmafn'e.
And When the curtain fell they went off
together , the prince and the dancing girl , to
BCD llfo In the Cato do' Paris , to hold a
gay supper party a llttlo later.
The prudent , fatherly old king disap
proves , ot course. Ho has long sought to
break off , gently , the friendship between
his son and the lively Parlslcnne. And
bo Is all the more set upon his success now
that the ruler of Crete has become a per-
Bonago In the political world , the bearer of
a heavy responsibility. He wants to marry
Ihe young fellow solidly , respectably , royally.
But rumor says ho spent a very pleasant
half hour In the box at the Varieties , when ,
for the flrst time , ho met Germalno Gallols.
Ho had summoned her to scold her , but
these graceful , lively dancers have ways of
Dotting to the hearts of oven respectable
elderly kings.
Peplta la Torrera , the girl who once was
such a popular heroine throughout Spain ,
died hero today of cancer of the breast. She
was 28 years old. Some years ago she toured
Spain and southern France with Frasculls ,
Pghtlng and killing bulls as cleverly as Tie
'
Bid. The'cancer resulted from a blow In-
'Dlctcd by her lover.

Shortly Introduce a bill before that body
contemplating buying the land whoco Paul
, Jones Is burled by the city , and also ask
ing an appropriation necessary to create a
Square nnd erect a splendid tomb with a
bronze statue of the American hero.
Luclpla believes that a square Is much
bccdcd In that part of tbo city , and the act
would bo a token of French admiration for
Ihe American commodore and friendship for
the great nation ho fought for. Luclpla being
r
\ ing absent ! cannot ascertain his Intentions

Kaiser Wllhelm has ofllclnlly notified the
French government that ho will lend all the
paintings by Jean Antolno Wattcau , Jean
Baptlste Chardln and Jean Baptlsto Pater
; whlch ho possesses fort the art retrospective
exposition next year. This volunteer offer
Is sympathetically commented upon by the
press and public. Potsdam contains the
roost precious collection of eighteenth
century canvasses by French masters In the
World.
The French are exercised over tbo decision
of Queen Victoria to change her place of
residence when on the Riviera from Nice or
Clmlez to Bordlghcra , Italy , Just across the
frontier. The presence1 of Queen Victoria
nlwaya attracted ( locks of fashionable
residents , which accounts for the French
annoyance.
The queen acted In this matter on the nd-
vice of her ministers who deemed It unbecom
ing that she should reside In Franco Just
when this country Is ringing with bitter de
nunciations of England and openly sympa
thizing with the Boors. *
Work on the Cxuonltloii ,
At the exposition grounds work continues
with more energy than ever , deaplto the ( old

PARIS. Nov. 25. ( New York World
Cablegram Special Telegram. ) Paul Pot
ter , the American dramatist , In an Inter
view today , said :
"I have been abroad for three years , but
will probably return to the United States
to remain there until after the Paris ex
position. I came abroad mainly to study the
dramatic business. If American playwrights
are to beat the foreign playwrights , their
weapons must bo as modern , their artillery
as skillfully served. I think American play-
makers should perfect their craft In France ,
like the American sculptors , painters and
stngcra. I am now convinced that , barring
genius , our trade cannot bo studied nt home.
I beltovo realism will soon dominate the
stage. Women make the theater what it Is
today , and the women of today will no more
support the old-fashloncd plays of ten years
ngo , which It Is never attempted Jo reproduce
true to life , than they would tolerate the
revival ot chignons and crinolines. The
clamor ot American play-goers is for
novelty. Foreign themes , scenes and
characters seem to suit them best ; hence
my 'pilgrimage.
"About the play I have Just sent to
Charles Frohman , and which will'bo pro
duced shortly , I cannot speak without his
authorization. I believe It will astonish the
public , for I am no longer In used to write
for money. Now I am writing to suit my
self , and I bellevo my work Is stronger
for it. "
"Tho Taking of Troy , " by Hector Berlioz ,
produced at the Grand Opera , Paris , last
week for the flrst time In any country , con
tinues to be the sensation of the musical
world. Authorities unanimously pronounce
It a masterpiece , surpassing anthlng done
by French composers In this century.
Berlioz never succeeded in getting it pro
duced in his lifetime and died with Infinite
bitterness in his heart in consequence.
LeBargy , the Beau Brummel of Paris ,
Interviewed today , denied he ever resigned

had threatened to do so if certain things
wcro not done. Jules Claretle , the director ,

After the Hopper company bad given selec

The prlnco was seated in front of the

crowding round * ad gaeplng for recognition.
When the giant Hopper was presented ho
lowed low , as the prlnco warmly shook

"I desire to thank you specially , Mr. Hop-
ier , for your performance. I have been prevented -
vented only by an Immense pressure of en
gagements from going to 'El Capltao , ' but I
ntend to go before you leave. That is the

Hopper replied : "But , elr , I think you

KAISER'S ' INTERVIEW WITH CHAMBERLAIN

CIIUNC Trouble There.
( Copyright , 1899 , by Press Publishing Co. )
LONDON , Nov. 25. ( New York World Ca
blegram Special Telegram. ) The duke ot
Marlborough was hunting In Melton and the
duchess was opening a bazar In Birming
ham Wednesday when they simultaneously
received the surprising Intelligence that the
kaiser proposed a visit to them at Blenheim.
Both hurried home , where they found li rd
Valentla , comptroller of the queen's house
hold , waiting with a special dispatch from
the emperor earnestly requesting that no
special arrangements bo made , his desire
simply being to meet again the descendant
of ono of the world's most famous generals
and pay a visit as a pilgrim to the shrine devoted -
voted to his memory.
Quick preparations were made and the
kaiser , accompanied" the prince of wales
and the duke of Connaught , was received at
Woodstock platform by the duke and duchess ,
The kaiecr shook the duke warmly by the
hand as the latter stood bareheaded. Then
the duchess was presented to him and she
said in rather n quavering voice : "I cor
dially welcome your majesty to our home. "
The kaiser bowed and led the duchess to the
carriage , where she sat beside him , oppo
site the prlnco of Wales and the duke of
Connaught. At Blenheim the duke showed
the kaiser through the state apartments
and the latter displayed the deepest Interest
in everything relating to the great duke ,
asking questions about Incidents In his mll-
tary career which occasionally nonplussed
the duke. Ho examined at length the mag
nificent tapestries depicting scenes in the
duke's battles. When he had read the origi
nal of the duke's dispatch from Blenheim ho
remarked : "Writing that dispatch enust
lave been the proudest moment ot his great
career. "
At luncheon the kaiser sat at the right of
the duchess , with whom be conversed gaily.
After lunch he walked and drove beside her
.ho whole time , white the duke was acting
as cicerone through the grounds and gardens -
dens _ He. ' < BtudlotWttiocbpses' were
Han'feuv o , represent1Blenheim battlefield ,
> ut showed special Interest when the duchess
took him to her American garden. Here ho
remarked laughingly to the duke : "This , of
course , is the duchess' special dominion
where you are only premltted on sufferance. "
The duchess aptly replied : "Ob , no ; there
s no distinction between England and
America nowadays. " The kaiser laughed ,
nit did not pursue the topic.
AVnle Merely n. Cipher.
The prince of Wales was utterly blotted
out of the picture by the overwhelming
personality of the kaiser , who pervades and
dominates every gathering he enters. The
prlnco never showed greater tact than by the
acceptance of this position , which must gall
bo prlnco to the last degree. The kaiser was
most profuse In his thanks to the duke and
duchess when leaving. The duchess was
dressed In a charming costume of a beautl-
'ul ' shade of terra-cotta cloth , a short and
exquisitely braided coat with a medlci col-
ar. She was soon qulto at east with the
talser , who was evidently greatly charmed
> y her simple , unaffected manner.
The only guests to meet the kaiser were
the members of the queen's household , the
visit being , at the kaiser's request , regarded
as strictly private. Representatives of Lpn-
don papers complain of great discourtesy
on the part of the duke , who sent a flunkey
with a supercilious message to order them
outside the gates of the park.
A salient Incident of the state banquet In
loner of the kaiser nt AVIndsor castle was
its long and animated conversation with
Chamberlain after dinner In the gallery.
The queen and the kaiser , seated , received
the ambassadors In the order of precedence ,
addressing a few formal words to each.
Urs. Choato was present and bowed , she
) olng the only ambassador's wife present ,
> ut the queen afterwards talked to her
quite a long while. The kaiser rose and
noved about , followed by Count von Buelow.
When he reached Chamberlain , they re
mained talking for twenty-five minutes. The
ambassadors had to pretend unconcern whllo
consumed with unsatisfied curiosity about
he significant-conference. When the kaiser
md finished with Chamberlain ho apologized
o the queen for having kept her waiting
and spoke to her exclusively during the re
mainder of her stay. After the guests with
drew , Chamberlain , accompanied by Sir
'runic Lnaccllca , British ambassador to Ber-
In , had a further Interview with the
( alscr , this time accompanied by Von Bue-
ow , who , In the gallery had stood behind
out of earshot , evidently a preconcerted
device to deprive the conversation of Its
obviously official character in tbo presence
of the ambassadors.
All Kyc * oil Morocco.
Tbo great object of the kaiser's visit is
o arrive at an understanding with Great
Britain about the partition of Morocco state ,
which must fall to pieces within a short
lino. Salisbury decided osino tlmo since
hat Morocco Is the most Important ques
tion looming up In the near future and
might , be feared , lead to that European con
flagration EO long predicted , France ro-
garda Morocco as Its right , owing to tbo
contiguity of the African possession. Ger
many considers It essential to its West
African colonies and is supposed to have a
share , whllo England cannot .tolerate a strip
of Morocco commanding the entrance to
the straits falling Into the hands of any
other power , France Is actively intriguing
with Spain to oust Germany and England
from Morocco when the cataclysm comes ,
and Spain , with French money , continues
fortifying the heights dominating Gibraltar.
Oesplto representations from England I
can etato on unquestionable authority that
ho relations of England to Spain are at
, hta moment extremely strained , If not ac
tually critical. The presence ot the chan
nel squadron off Tangier , as well as the
Ittlng out of a special service squadron , have
relation not to any fear about South African
runsports , but to possible- developments in
Morocco. It is believed In diplomatic circles
that France may be offered a share , but
she regards It vital to her Mediterranean
position that aho should have the whole
Mediterranean Morocclanjfcoost. Until nego
tiations now progressftTf ? ovfcnhmto to ce
ment joint action ot Britain and Germany
kaiser has deferred his departure in the
of seeing Salisbury Monday , probably

NEW YORK , Nov. 25. The World to
morrow will publish a letter from Havana
stating that United States officials , after
months of secret Investigation , have dis
covered that the battleship Maine was blown
up by guncotton torpedoes planted in the
bay for the purpose. The guncatton , 700
pounds of which was used , was sent from
Barcelona to Admiral tMantcrola , commandIng -
Ing the port of Havana , and was either
stolen from the magazine where the stuff
was stored or taken away with the knowl
edge of the officials In charge.
Admiral Manterola's records will un
doubtedly show the names of his subor
dinates who bad direct control ot the ex
plosives and In that way the Identity of
the authors and the executioners of the plot
to destroy the Maine may bo discovered.
Two or three men were engaged In the de
struction of the Maine. A steam launch of
Spanish make and now used by the United
States government In Havana harbor con
veyed the two torpedoes , according to the
new evidence , to a point within a few feet
of the berth of the Maine and anchored
them. The torpedoes were kept In position
by means of buoys floated eleven feet under
water , ten feet above the anchors used to
prevent them from being swept away. The
torpedoes wore exploded by contact with the
keel of the Maine as It swung at anchor.

reached $1,500,000 , while nearly $1,000,000
more has been raised In various ways In
different parts of the country In addition
to the Jl.000,000 already provided for the
Transvaal refugees. It Is confidently ; ex
pected that the relief fund will total $4,000-
000 before it is closed.
It is greatly feared that this lavish In
flow of money will lead , as always , to ad
ministrative abuses. Already a protest has
seen raised against the outlay for adver
tising the fund regularly In certain Lon
don papers. Questions are asked about the
system of disbursement. It la apprehended
that the ultimate result will be a big bal
ance to remain to be swallowed up by the
'avored ' existing soldier benevolent organ-
zations whose principal ralson d'etre Is the
support of staffs of highly paid officers.
Private Theatrical llcnellt.
Mrs. Arthur Paget , ever active , Is or
ganizing private theatricals and a series
of tableaux for the benefit exclusively of
wlves and children and the wounded of the
Guards battalion , where her husband Is one
of the commanders. Beerbohm Tree offeis
Her Majesty's theater for the performance.
Mrs. Paget Is pressing every beautiful
woman In smart society Into her service In
Borne capacity. This will be- the first time
smart private theatricals have over been
given In public , and what between the
object and the personality of the artists ,
big prices are expected for the scats.
Countess do Grey and her daughter will

Three other Miss Wilsons will appear In a

Mrs. Willie James , the one woman living

and esteemed the best high comedy amateur
In England , will also appear. Mrs. George
Keppel Is only prevented from joining by
being In delicate health. The young duchess
of Marlborough Is expected to appear In
tableau , If not to sing , whllo the young
Countess Dudley will elng Kipling's poem.
By the way , the Maine hospital ship concert -
cert was not a financial success , realizing
only $6,500 , when $25,000 was the lowest
figure anticipated. This was duo to a bad
organization , which did not provide for get
ting money from tbo audience and over
crowding. Mrs. Ronalds Is at her wits' end
trying to get together the remaining $60,000
required to carry out the Maine hospital
ship Idea on the original plan , but all available -
able resources have already been tapped
and the flow of subscriptions has dried up.
The failure of the appeal to America com
pletely upset tbo calculations of the pro
moters.
Queen Send * Chocolate.
lA religious paper , the Rod : , offers $25
each for the first twenty boxes of Queen's
chocolate bent , tbo money to bo subscribed
to the wounded fund. The queen was
strongly urged by tbo prince of Wales and
Lord Wolseloy to send tobacco Instead ct
chocolate , but she bates smoking , which la
vigorously prohibited throughout her resi
dences , and replied that the soldiers get to
bacco in any case , whereas they would never
got chocolate. This her advisers could not
deny , The Parisian papers declare the
queen's present fittingly consists of "mud
and blood , " but as a matter of fact It Is
a first grade English-mode chocolate , cost
ing altogotber $25,000.
Intense Indignation Is expressed by press
and public over the supply of bad meat to
the army. Tbo government Is urged to pass
a law at the next session making It a crim
inal offense for any contractor to furnish
uneatable meat In time of war.
The papers have been a HUlo previous In
stating that all the meat condemned was
supplied by American firms. A large pro
portion of it , tbo World's special Inquiries
elicited , come from Canada and Australia ,
but no mention wao made of that fact.

the government central victualling yard ,
Deptford , shows the system of Inspection
of meat is Ineffective and negligent in a
high degree and certain prominent high offi
cials are trembling for their posts. The
government must make examples to satisfy
public sentiment.
The exclusive cable last Saturday an
nounced that the British government , under
the pressure of itho Transvaal state secre
tary , had in the Interest of the British
prisoners of war at Pretoria consented to
remove the embargo on the Importation of
foodstuffs imposed at Delagoa bay since the
outbreak ot hostilities. This week the
British press announces the arrival of a
Transvaal government delegation nt Lour-
enzo 'Marqucz , but is utterly mystified about
the object of the visit , which really is to
arrange with the Portuguese authorities for
the importation or foodstuffs into the Trans
vaal under the arrangement mentioned.
President Krugor also is believed to be
anxious to exchange some British officers
for certain captive Boers , and especially
Colonel Schlel , whose loss In the artillery
department Is keenly felt. The British have
lesa than 600 Boers as prisoners , while the
Boers bold 1,000 British.
SITUATION IN NATAL SERIOUS
Outlook In Ileifiirded an Distinctly
Gloomy for llrltlMi with Three
IleleaKnered GnrrlNOiiH.
LONDON , Nov. 25. The position In Natal
remains full of perplexities which the cen
sorship has increased. Although a division
and a half have now reached Durban that
place Is practically powerlcEs until supplied
with cavalry and artillery and until these
arrive the situation will undoubtedly re
main grave. With three beleaguered garri
sons in Natal , beside Klmberley and Mafe-
klng , nnd no signs of succor In .tha Im
mediate future It Is no Wonder that the
outlook Is regarded as distinctly gloomy to
night and that when tha most possible Is
made of General Mcthuen's success , such as
It was. That battle decided nothing and It
seems certain that many experts are of the
opinion that the story of the return of the
pursuing cavalry without getting In touch
with the retreating Boers indicates that the
cavalry discovered in tlmo that If It had
gone on it would have been in the Pretoria
race course with Its comrades of tbo
Hussars.
It will not surprise anyone if the Boers
are shortly again discovered In an en
trenched position near the spot from which
General Methuen has Just evicted them.
From no other point can even n semblance
of success be * reported.
Mafcklng is apparently in a worse plight
than the Britishers have hitherto cared to
admit , and It is difficult to see how It can
bo relieved for some time. While the of
ficial dlspatches from the Boer head laager
outsldo Ludysm'lth , dated November 24 ,
showed that tbo town was still flying the
Union Jack on Friday , the cheerful tone of
the message and evident anticipation of the
speedy reduction of Ladyemlth are not cal
culated to cheer anxious relatives.
The reported silence ot the British guns
also again arouses fears of a shortness of
ammunition , and the fact that the Boers
have Just placed in position another siege
gun shows that they have not yet done their
worst.
The arrival of tbo German officers , some of
whom It Is learned gained largo experience
In reducing fortifications In 1S70 , has caused
a change of tactics which will add to the
suspenea of tbo sorely tried garrhon ,
'Tho situation In the northern portion of
Capo Colony Is about as unsatisfactory as It
can bo. Boeri are turning up In all direc
tions. The Capetown dispatch received at
a late hour tonight Indicates that the enemy
bus blown up a railway bridge between
RoEincad Junction and MIddlcburg with the
object of preventing a advance from Port
Elizabeth. This was effected by a small
commando , which , It Is stated , remains In
the neighborhood. Tbo effect of blowing up
this bridge will tend to Isolate Naauwpoort ,
which was recently reoccupled by the Brit
ish , and must delay the advance of tbo troops
Just arrived at Port Elizabeth.

NEW HAVEN , Conn. , Nov. 23. Just ono
short minute .before the close of ono of the
greatest foot ball contests over played be
tween Princeton and Yale , llttlo Arthur Poe ,
Princeton's right end , a member of the
famous Poe family , dropped a beautiful goal
from the field and won the game for the
Tigers by the narrow margin of 11 'to 10.
AH the more remarkable Is the fact that
Poe never before , in practice or a game , at
tempted to kick a goal from the field. To
say that Yule vao surprised , dumfounded
and chagrined by that kick Is to put It very
mildly , for up to that tlmo th blue was
seemingly n sure winner.
Princeton had scored previously , after
twelve -minutes' of play , mainly through a
grand thirty-two-yard run by Rcltor , who
carried the ball nearly to the 'Yalo goal line ,
where , after a bravo battle by Yale , It was
pushed over for a touchdown , Fortunately
for Princeton the goal was klckctf and six
points scored , for ten minutes after Yale had
pushed the Tigers back to their goal through
McBrldo's great punting , and a block Icicle
gave Yale a touchdown. Although Brown's
lightning work In getting through the line
was responsible for the blocked kick , the
failure of the goal Immediately after gave
Princeton the lead.
The Tigers felt fairly easy , until five min
utes later , when Sbarpo , Yale's halfback ,
brought the entlro blue crowd to their feet
by one of the most spectacular goals ever
kicked on a foot ball field , sending the ball
between the Princeton goal posts from back
of the forty-five-yard lino. With the score
10 to C In her favor , Yale played the second
half almost entirely on the defenelve , her
Hue standing grandly against the'onslaughts
of the Tigers. The playing was almost en
tirely In Yale's territory in this half , 'al
though Princeton was never able to'gel ' it beyond - -
yond her opponent's flftcen-yard-llne. * * "

Princeton' * llootcrfc Go AVIld.
It was little wonder , therefore , that Pot' *
tclcK , which will probably live forever In
Princeton's foot ball annals , coming when
the entire Tiger crowd had almost given up
hope , ehould have electrified the Princeton
cohorts to such a degree that they went
fairly crazy with Joy. And this pent-up en
thusiasm burst forth with renewed energy
sixty seconds later when the referee's whis
tle ended the battle in one of the greatest
demonstrations ever seen on Yale fleld. The
Princeton rooters were comparatively few
In number , but as they charged over the
fence ourroundlng the gridiron and surged
onto the field the volume of exultant sound
they made could have done credit to n mighty
tiost.
It was eminently a kicking game , and the
kicking won , although a strong breeze blew
almost directly down the Held , which did
great things for Yale in the first half and
unllltatcd for Princeton In the second.
McBride was easily the star punter , send
ing the ball with a steady , sure aim to just
the right spots. Wheeler , on the other hand ,
while kicking almost as strong ns his rival ,
used poor judgment and was unfortunate
enough to have one of his punts blocked , al
lowing Yale to score. But while the puntIng -
Ing was excellent on both sides the two field
goals were the sensations of the nfternocn.
Whllo the odds were plainly In Yale'u
favor In the punting department , the Prince
ton forwards and running backs proved
much the stronger , especially in the first
half. McCord seemed to have no difficulty
In getting through any part of the Yale line ,
whllo Keller's numerous cantors around
the ends , the right ono especially , were tlio
features of the running game. Snltgcr ,
Yalo'ft right end , found himself pocketed
time and again by Princeton's Interference ,
and this was responsible for the subsequent
touchdown. Yale's line was stiffened ma
terially In the second half and Gould , in
taking Snltgor's place , stopped many of the
end runs ; this was all the more commend
able when it is realized that , while nlmoit
tbo entlro Princeton team was changed before -
fore the game was finished , the freshmen
could make but llttlo impression on the
Yale line.
Piny SlralRht root Hull.
Both tcama played straight foot ball
throughout , few trick plays being tried.
There wcro no fake kicks , guardsback or
quarterback knlcks. It was plunging at Iho
line , runs around the ends with a well-
started Intorfercuco and both teams showed
marvelous speed In getting the play under
way ,
Princeton , If anything , excelled In slatt
ing Its backs Into the play , but the upped
ehown In the first half was lacking In tbo
second , The Princeton defense , however ,
was the feature of the game. Except when
driven back to Its goal by McBrldo's lonj ;
punts , the ball was almost always In Its op
ponent's territory , and practically entirely
BO , to the second half of the game.
Five times Princeton held Yale on down >
and secured the ball , while Its forward *
burat through the blue line a number of
times and threw the Yale backs for'flve and
ten yards. Edwards , captain of the victori
ous team , played brilliantly In this respect ,
getting through his opponent , Gordon Brown ,
withthe , greatest ease and tackling fiercely.
In fact all the Princeton team seemed to
liavo acquired the tact of not only nailing
their roan , but of throwing them back two
or three yardi. The tackles on both aides
played fiercely , but Hlldebrand was forced
to quit the game and Pell was badly used
up , while the Yale tackles , Bellman and
Francis , were quite fresh at the end ,
The fleet Princeton ends wore much too
speedy for their Yale opponents and Poo's
work from start to finish puts him at tlio
head of the ends of the country , Ills part
ner , Palmer , was not far behind and the
brilliant work of the pair In getting down
tbo field , as well as breaking up tbo Yale
Interference , was highly sensational , There
was some fumbling , a muff by Hutchlubou.
