The cotton planters in one of the
counties in South Carolina propose to
inauguraUe the Alliance warehouse
scheme practically and at the expense of
the people of the county, regardless of
occupation or willingness on the part of
the individual to be made party to the
scheme. The alleged object Is to force
the price of their staple crop, cotton, up
to a paying figure. If the move in this
matter can induce all the cotton grow
ing districts and states to adopt the
policy suggested the object may be Sc
cured, but not otherwise. But the Caro-
lima planters mentioned will be safe in
any event, if they succeed in their local
scheme

Minnesota is the first state to take
formal action, as an entire community,
in the matter of affording relief to the
famishing Russians, the governor having
issued an address to the people of the
state calling upon them to contribute of
their abundance to succor the thousands
in Russia who are starving for want of
food. Reports that reach this country

lower levels contain streets and houses,

the selection of Crisp as speaker yesterday
will name the presidential candidate in the
coming Democratic national convention

The engineers were Tammany's bosses,

for Hill, the writer's guess is that the
initials of the engineers choice will be
Grover Cleveland.

Yale Taxes the hat for Princeton and

Yale's action ia refusing to meet Har
ward on the diamond this season because
Harvard had broken her engagement to
meet Princeton was the subject of much
comment upon the Princeton campus
and Yale's action in the matter has met
with appreciation.
AT the time the agreement between the
three colleges was drawn mp for the series
OF games Princeton was doubtful whether
permission would be given her 10 play ~
Hartford as Han ward desired, and Prince

committees. With this clause inserted

ton gaines rs did Harvard, and might
have done so If she had been as bent up
on displaying unsportsmanlike behavior
as Harvard had done.
After Harvard had cancelled her games
with Princeton Yale advised the Prince
ton management that she intended to
keep, ali her dates arranged with Prince
ton. Princeton men look upon the Har-
ward Athletic Committee as having a de-
sire to force Yale into a dual league by
~boycotting Princeton. and Is willing to
make any sacrifice of Harvard's reputa-
ton for fair play and maniiness.
A dispatch from Boston says:-Yale's
declaration Of war against Harvard in the

With the May number, which is now
ready, Romance begins its second vol
ume. Already It has won a place for
itself In the affections Of the story read
ing public. The sixty complete stories in
the first volume OF Romance have all of
them been Interesting, some OF them in-
tensely exciting. aud none of them in any
way offensive even by suggestion. The
New York Story Club, to which credit Is
due for these excellent selections, has
done its work with a painstaking thor
oughness: and 1t has shown, too, a cor
rect taste, and a keen appreciation OF the
needs of the story reading world.
The first number of the second volume
of RomdRce-that for Nays fully up TO
the nigh mark which this magazine has
set for itself. All sorts OF tales are here,
resembling one another only In their uni
form excellence. Even the ~distinctively
love stories-ot which there are three
are of a widely different variety. Among
the writers are Prosper Merrimee and
Theodore de Banville, the great French
story ~tellers, w. H. Babcock, Ambrose
Bierce, L. II. Clough, Charles Scates.
Austyn Granville, William Wallace Cook,
Adair W elcker and Joseph Montet.
The opening story of the May number
Of Romance is from the pen of the great
French writer Prosper Merrimee. IL Is a
most p reallsJlc anu YET SIMPLE dC-
count of q battle from the point of view
of one who was In the fight. Beside the
description OF the struggle itself. there Is
a mastery analysis of the sensations of
the young soldier who tells The story.
There are two original stories in the
May Romance, one by W. II. Babcock
and the other by Charles Scates. The
first deals with one phase of life in the
South just before the outbreak of the
War;; and the adventures n tragic
career of the hard riding and hard drink
ing hero-half rufiian and half gentle
man-are Interestingly described. The
story of Mr.. Scates is a railroad story
ending in a romance, and is one of the
best or its class.
