It Is not that usual feeling of soreness that comes after defeat, but something worse. Thi men all feel that the Harvard team outplayed the t«le team, and but for "that Tale luok" and Umpire Bovlard's decisions, the victory would be where It rightfully belongs. The players, at least those who live In the vicinity of Boston, have all gone home, but will meet at the quarters in Auburndale.

Of the immigrants landed, 96,000 were destined for New York state, 42,000 for Pennsylvania, 25,000 for Massachusetts and 22,000 for Illinois. The others were scattered throughout the United States, no other state receiving a greater number than 19,000. It ghows that during the fiscal year, 1894, ended June 30, 288,220 immigrants arrived In this country of whom 284,631 were landed, 2,389 debarred from landing because of being under contract to perform labor made previous to their arrival.

Of *16.878.000. it on its transportatlor Regarding the abuses of second class privileges he says the volume of second class business grew from 143,000,000 pounds in 1888, to 886,000,008 In 1893, more than doubling in six years. Mr. BlsseM says also no one can belleva that suoh an Increase is legitimate, and he adds that It Is estimated that during the fiscal year ended June 30, 1894, out of about 461,400,000 pounds of niH matter Of all classes carried, 898,000,000, or nearly two-thirds, went under the second class rates, leaving a net loss to If these so-called periodicals were shut out, he concludes, bona fide newspapers could be carried free. He then speaks of extending the civil service law, and takes up the postal telegraph scheme. He differs with Mr. Wanamaker, and says that the Idea la wholly Impracticable and as Great Britain's annual deficit is $800,000, It wold, in this country, amount to $25,- 000,000.  During the last six years, the poetofllce department has accepted for entry 24,301 new publications purporting to be of the second class, yet according to a prominent newspaper directory, the net increase of newspapers and periodica! publications during the same time was 3,747, or 15 per cent, of the number of entries. Continuing he remarks that he doe* not advocate a change of rates now levied upon legitimate newspapers and periodical magazines. His purpose Is to urge the withdrawal of low postage rates from the large class af pretended periodicals that are now improperly enjoying them; not only on account of the inherent propriety of that course, but because he Is almost hopelees of ever seeing the financial condition o' the department properly established until Buch withdrawal Is brought about. The most conspicuous class of these pretended periodicals, he adds, are what arc now generally known as serial paper oovered books. "This calculation," the postmaster general says, "applies to transportation alone. The separate cost of distribution and delivery I wlH not attempt to estimate, but any one can see that these items of expenditure would largely swell the loss." For the current fiscal year Mr. Bissell estimates that the expenditures will amount to $90,399,485, leaving an estimated deficiency of 85,971,738, and his estimates for the fiscal year ending June 38, 1896, place expenditures at $91,059,283, and the deficiency at only 14,151,876. The deficiency In postal revenues for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1894, was 89,243,935. The total revenue derived was 875,080,479, and the expenditures 884,324,414. The number of miles of post-routs run, 1,100,000. Number of stamps manufactured, 8,300,000. Number of envelopes manufactured, 1,800,000. Number Of postal cards manuactured, 1,503,090.

Is dangerously and probably fatally 111, wholly on account ot her husband's defalcation. She does not know where he Is and Is unaware nf the Immense amount for \fhlch he la a defaulter, or the practically lifelong Imprisonment to which he Is liable when captured." "It was a week ago last Friday that Seely came to my office and made his ronfesslon to me, Besides advising him to give himself up to the district attorney at once, I urged him to tell all he knew about his confederate's transactions so that the bank might recover Bome if not all of the stolen money, which would lead to mitigate his offence. I did not advise him to abscond. "The latter were by no means extravagant, und his wife did not even keep a domestic servant, but did hor own housework. Neither Seely hi3 wife dressed extravagantly. "What became of Seely's comparatively insignificant share of the enormous plunder Is even more a mystery than what became of the lion's share kept by hla confederate. Seely's salary was only $1,800 a ear, and this was not much. If any, more than enough to pay taxes, water rates. Insurance, repairs, interest on the mortgages on his house and hlB living expenses. "I believe that the confederate Invested the money in real estate through a 'dummy' and bo thoroughly covcred his tracks that the property may never be found. "What beoame of the $343,000, which Seely assured me had been kept by his confederate, is a mystery that may never be satisfactorily solved. "To oonceal the overdrafts falsification of the books became necessary. As I understand It, the confederate was able to keep his bank account by making bona fide deposits of eay $200 or more at a time, Seely giving him credit for $1,200, and to conceal these false credit entries Seely would from time to time make transfers from other accounts."The defalcation," said he. "which began about nine years ago, started, according to Seely's statement to me, through an honest mistake In bookkeeping. But the confederate Induced Seely to allow other overdrafts, which Seely did in dairy cpectation that the promise to make good the deficiency would be fulfilled. Frederick R. Baker, the aged confederate of Seely, has committed suicide. His body was found floating in the bay at Flushing, L. I., where he resides. His family has disappeared, and all efforts to trace any of the mlssiut; money through him have fulled. Fln-ancla.1 circles are greatly excited, as the theft is the largest known In years. Frank \V. Angel, counsel for Seely, was seen at his home In Jersey City. New York, Nov. 26.—Superintendent of Poice Byrnes and the police of all large cities in the United States are searching for Samuel G. Seely. His defalcation at the Shoe and Leather bank is $343,000, according to last accounts, but may be even more. Most of this money, the police believe, he has with him, despite his counsels protest to the contrary. of the Fugitive Rubber Clothing.
