WAsuNGToN, January 25
The friends of Mr.. Yocum have ex.
hausted their efforts 10 delay the action
of the election committee on the case.
One of the sub. committee to which the
case was referred is Weaver, Greenback
member from Iowa, and he has warm.
ly espoused the cause Of Yocum. Al
though the testimony was printed be-
fore the extra session closed, the minor
ity of the committee have delayed the
report week already by demand for
time TO prepare Il minority report and
the courtesy has been extended to
them. Mr.. Springer, chairman of the
general committee, and also chairman
of the subcommittee in the Curtin.
Yocum case, is unwilling to give his ac-
ton the appearance OF unfairness and
Judge Sawyer, of Missouri, who was
elected from the bench as an independ.
ent Democrat, takes q strictly judicial
view of election contests, and has been
| disposed to strain the limits of courtesy
tn enable the minority to present the
best case they can.
REPORT PROBABLE on TUESDAY.
The general election committee will
hold its regular meeting on Tuesday
morning, when it is expected that both
majority and minority reports will be
ready, and they will be made to the
! House. 1t is understood that the ma
jority report will remand the Curtin.
Yocum case back to the people, and
that the minority report. prepared by
| Weaver, Greenback, will declare Yocum
entitled to the seat. Both Chairman
Springer and Judge Sawyer have made
thorough examina ton OF the law and
! testimony, and as both are good law
yers the majority report will be an able
and conclusive review of the case. I'm
der the rules, the reports will be laid
over one day to be printed, and on
"Wednesday the case will probably be
called up and disposed of. 1t is a ques.
ton Of the highest privilege and its
| consideration cannot be prevented by
the rules A number Of Republicans
will refuse to sustain Yocum in his
claim TO the seat; and the indications
are that the majority report will be
adopted by large vote.

that child belonging 10 the educated classes
would be taught much better and more easily
if after being once enabled to make and recog-
nze writing letters, it were let alone, and prals-

and make his strokes as he likes, and write at
the pace he lIkes-hurrY, OF course, being dis
couraged-but insist, strenuousy and persis-
tently, that his copy shall be leglble, shall be-

first, but he will soon make passable imita-
ton OF his copy, and ultimately develop O char
acteris:ic and strong mind, which may be bad
or good, but will not be either meaningessl
undecided or illegible. This hand will alter, of
course, very greatly as he grows older. 1t may
alter at IL, because 1t is at that age that the
range OF the eyes is fixed, and short sight be-
trays itself; and 1t Will alter at IL, because then
the system Of taking notes at lecture, which
ruins most hands, will have cramped and tenn
poraily spoiled tue writing but the character
will form itself again, and will never be de-

1t is to be clear will have stamped itself, and
confidence will not have been destroyed by
worrying little rules about attitude. and angle,
and slope, which the very irritation OF the
pupils ought to convince the teachers are. from
some personal popularity, inapplicable. The
lad Will write, as he does anything else that he
cares to do, as we'll as he can, and with certain
efficiency and speed. Almost every letter he
gets will give him some assistance, and the

AND OTHER FRIENDS OF THE UNIVERSITY OF
MICHIGAN.
The officers and undergraduates OF the Uni
verslty have for years considered that proper
advantages for physical development are not
offered to our students. With view OF obtain
ing the facilities for satisfying this long felt
want, an organization known as the athletic
Association OF the University of Michigan"
was formed in the fall OF 1873, by the under
graduates Of the University. Several month,
after its formation, the Association became in
corporated under the laws OF the State, and by
the articles of incorporation, trust fund TO be
known as the Gymnasium Fund" was estab-
hshed with James b. Angel, Thos. M. Cooley
Moses Colt Tyler, Alonzo b. Palmer, Alpheus
Felch, all Of Ann Arbor, and John J. Bagley, Of
Detroit, as Trustees. The fund is also declared
by these articles to be irrevoc able and unchang-
able, unless the consent OF the State Legisla
ture is obtained by special application of the
corporation.
While the general aim Of this ASSOCIATION, as
far as its unders rsduate members are con Germ
ed, is to foster athletic games and ut-door
sports OF all kinds the special end in view, the
one for which the organization was perfected,
is the raising of money for the erection and
equipment or suitable gymnasium. All the
students OF the University, whether members
OF the Athletic Association or not, have cheer
fully wsrked to increase the fund, which now
amounts to $1,02S.2S, and is in the hands OF
the Treasurer OF the Board, j. w. knight, Cash
Ter OF the First National Bank OF Ann Arbor.
This money has mostly been contributed
from the treasures or organizations entirely
controlled by the students. However, dona-
ton OF $3.50 was received in April from f.. C.
Hegeler, Esq, of LaSalle, Illinois. Whilesthe
undergraduates are doing what they can to in
crease this bulldog fund.- they trust that the
generosity OF the Alumni, and OF the other
friends OF the University of Michi5an, will be
stimulated to render substantial aid to the pro-
ject. Hope or aid from the State Legisla ture
is also entertained.
Contributions can be made payable TO the
Treasurer, j. w. Knight or to any one OF the
undersigned trustees, excepting Jas. b. Angel,
or Alonzo b. Palmer, both OF whom will be abb
sent for some time from Ann Arbor.
