 Yale Notes. ITS of the college who .th St. Paul's school,

All members of the college who have been connected with St. Paul's school, Concord, are invited to attend a meeting this evening for the purpose of forming social club.
 An effort is to be made again this year to obtain a sufficient number of names in order that the seniors may have a heliotype album. The album will contain one hundred and seventy-three pictures and will cost $22 if fifty are ordered, or $2O if one hundred names are pledged.
 The subject of having a longer cheer is now being agitated at Princeton, because, to quote correspondent in the Princetonian, :'It is emitted more quickly than the Yale cheer x The Yale cheer continuing after it has ceased the natural deduction is that the Yale men can outyell us."

PRAYER FOR CoLLEGEs

Yesterday by Colleges
 Throughout the Country-Varfous
 Other Meetings at Ya1e-The General
 Meeting at Batten Chapel-About
 One Hundred Students Addressed by
 Rev. Theodore L. Cuyler of Brook
 lyn.
 Yesterday, the day of prayer for colleges, was observed by the colleges throughout the country with special religious services. At Yale meetings were held by each class ad- dressed by those chosen by the class. Pro- lessor Tarbel spoke to the seniors, Professor Brastow and Dr. T. T. Munger to the juniors, Rev Dr. Newman Smyth addressed the sophomores and Rev. MT. Nichols the freshmen. In the Theological school a gen. eral meeting was held at ten o'clock in which the representatives of the various colleges in the seminary gave reports of the religious interest which is at present being manifested ill their colleges. At the general meeting special meetings were held in private rooms. Throughout the university feeling of relig- ious enthusiasm and thought prevailed. In the afternoon Rev. Dr. Theodore L. Cuyler, of Brooklyn, preached in the Battell chapel to large body of students. He spoke in brief as follows: I come to you to-day as an old college boy. After forty years of cruis- ing I am come to tell you of that which lies beyond you. When you pass from these scenes you will find the cur rents of the world running against God, and you will need all your staying powers. Just now is the supreme opportunity of life to make the supreme choice, to lay hold or the supreme duty of life with the supreme prize held out with hand wet with tears and with the blood of Galilee. There is no time like college days to settle this great question. Life here is nothing compared with the life outside and beyond Place six ciphers in row and they are but ciphers; but place the figure 1 before them and they become million. So all life IS ciphers until the name of Christ is written before it; when that is done you are millionaires for eternity Christ seeks you; he is not Christ to be gone after. You never made greater mistake if you say that the religion of Jesus Christ has seen it's best men of the world to-day, Gladstone and Bis marck, efe both personal Christians noted for the sweetness and simplicity of their faith. No one is competent to pronounce upon Jesus Christ till he has been proved. It is sin inside that keeps Christ outside-sin in the concrete, not the abstract. The first proof of change of heart is a victory over sin for Christ's sake The issues of life are for eter- nity Instead of cold and formal system, nave faith, which is the act, the action or the transaction which gives us union with God. The sin of college life is moral cowardice; overcome it by beginning to do what Christ tells you to do. As a straw shows a change in the wind, so in conduct; therefore begin to serve Christ in conduct. Dr. Cuyler con cluded with earnest appeal to the hearts of those present on the ground of their being witnesses for Christ.

PsrtIenIars Of the Fight in Mexico.

SAN FRANCISCO, Jan. ga tele-
gram received at the preside from
Fort Bowie, Arizona, signed by Gen.
Crook, gives the contents Of a dis
patch received by the latter from
Lieut.. Mans, dated NOcori, Sonora,
Mexico, January II: "Surrounded
and attacked Indian camp fifty miles
southeast Of NOcOri, when a-two
hours running fight took place and
q number Of Indians were wounded,
but all escaped. The hostiles sent
word that they wished to hold a con-
ference, and while the troops were
in camp awaiting the time fixed for
the conference they were attacked
by l5i Mexican soldiers. Efforts
were made to let them know the
troops were Americans and friends,
and Capt Crawford and Lieut.. Mans
advanced to talk with them when a
Volley was fired and Capt. Crawford
was shot In the head and Mr.. Horn,
the Interpreter, was slightly wounded
in the left arm. The Mexican fire
was partly returned by the scouts of
Capt. Crawford's comm md, but only
sufficient to keep them at a distance.
The firing lasted half an hour when
Lieut.. Mans succeeded in having a
talk with the officer In command
Of the MexicarS, their captain having
been killed. He was told the Ameri-
cans were taken for hOstlles, owing
TO the darkness, and the Mexicans
signed a paper TO that effect.
The loss TO the Americans by the
unfortunate affair was: Capt Cr4w-
ford, mortally wounded. Mr.. Horn,
chief Of scouts, slightly. Two In
dians, slightly. An Indian severely
wounded. The Mexican loss was
four killed and five wounded. In
the telegram sent by Lieut.. Mans to
Gen Crook he says Of this affair, that
he believes the MeXicans expected
~ drive the Americans of with an
overwhelming force and secure their
camp and effects. Captain Crawford
died on the 18th, during the march
to Nocori, where he wasburied. He
was unconscious until his death.
Lieut. Mans then assumed command.
while the troops were en- route to No
cori two squaws entered camp,
through whom arrangements were
made by Lieut.. Mans for a confer
enee with two bucks Of the hostile
band. This ended by chief Mana and
one buck and the wife and child Of
both GerenomO and Natchez, sister
OF Geren0mO, and one boy and wom-

WASHINGTON, Jan. 29.-Darwin
Jones, Of the house committee, is
the authority for the assertion that
there is no question but that fav-
orable report will be made on the re-
demptiOn Of the trade dollar. He
says that the only yquestion in the re-
port Of the subcommittee is whether
to recommend a bill for the ex-
change, trade dollar for dollar, or
provide that allowance be made
holders Of trade dollars for the
bullion in them and that the bullion
purchased be counted In the two
millions silver purchased each
month by the government. He is
sanguine Of the passage of the
bill,
