 the Question of Athletics.

Graduates in COuference-Discuss
 the Question of Athletics.
 SPRINGFIELD, Mass, May 26.-Harvard and Yale graduates held long conference in this city this afternoon and discussed the question of athletics. No results were reached, however, and it is safe to say that there will be no Harvard Yale ball games this season.
 The conference was at the invitation of Harvard's advisory boards, who asked the Yale baseball management to authorize graduates to meet them in the hope of solving the difficulty. For Yale Walter C.. Camp and George Adee appeared, while Harvards representatives were S. E. Winslow, F. W. Thayer and c. w. Smith for baseball; Professor J. B. Ames and G. A. Stewart, football, and w. Hooper for general athletics. liar yard men submitted their proposition to arrange a schedule of ball games between Yale and Harvard without regard to the other colleges. The Yale men held to the position set forth in Captain Calhoun's let | ter, and insisted that the undergraduates | had absolute control of their athletics. Al the schedule, which included Princeton had been set aside they declined to enter ( new agreement this year. The question oi dual league was touched upon, but the chief discussion was on base ball. The representatives announced that absolutely no progress had been made by the meet ing, and there would certainly be no bal games between the universities this season

The Issue of Treasury Notes

WASHINGTON, May 26.-Attorney Gen. eral Miller has decided that the secretary of the treasury has no authority under the act of July 17, 1890, to issue treasury notes provided for by that act except in payment of the bullion purchased each month under it's provisions, but that the gain or seignorage arising from the coin age of bullion under the act when passed into the treasury become part of the gen. eral cash, and as such may be used under existing law like any other standard silver dollars; and that silver certificate may be issued against such dollars as may be of fered at the treasury for exchange, whether such silver dollars represent profit or seignorage or otherwise. The seignorage fund now amounts to $4,000,0 and un. der this decision the issue of silver certif cates may be increased to that extent. The secretary of the treasury is also consider. ing 6 proposition to issue silver certificates
 against the 2O,O0O.OOO silver half-dollar' now in the treasury.

BRIDGEPORT, May 26.-The celebrated case of the state against Dearborn P. Bab- cock of West Haven reached its end in the criminal superior court this morning by the forfeiture by the accused of a 5000 bond
 The case of Babcock was peculiarly in teresting through his attempt by the al legged aid of clairvoyants to prove himself innocent of the charge of stealing $50 from Captain John Buell., the owner of a West Haven oyster sloop. The money was stolen last summer while the boat lay at the wharf in this city. Bsbcock was employed upon the boat and entered the captains cabin at night and stole the pocketbook con taining the money from the captains vest. When arrested he strenuously asserted his innocence. Captain Buell. on being called to testify created a sensation by saying that Babcocks relatives had come to him and told him that he would find his money all right in the locker of the boat. Open ing the locker there was found the money sure enough. The strange part of it was that the amount was 8 short and also that the spirits had found it necessary to break open the locker in order to place the pocketbook there. This, Captain Buell. thought very strange doings for any well conducted spirit, who desired to establish good reputation. Probable cause was found against Babcock in the city court.

Belief That There Were Two AnglO-
 P0rfuRueae Conflicts.

LONDON, May 26,-The conflicting ac- counts of the Anglo-Portuguese trouble lead to the belief that there were two con- ficts. The first was collision with the South Africa company's police at Mutassa. The defeated Portuguese thence went to the coast by the Pungwe route and came into collision with Commissioner Johnson's force of pioneer miners, who were opening a transport route. The Times thinks that the trouble will not interfere with the agreement between Great Britain and Por- tugal.
 LISBON, May 26.-It is reported here that when the Anglo -Portugese convention is passed the Portuguese military expedi- tion sent to Mozambique will be ordered home.
 CAPE TOWN, May 26.-It is rumored that H. M. s. Magiclenne, Captain J. P. Ripon, which vessel on May 23 was an nounced to have arrived at Biera, Masho- naland, Portuguese settlement in South Africa, in company with the British gun boat Pigeon, has landed force of marines and blue jackets, and has occupied that port on behalf of the British government. This warlike report, it should be added, lacks official confirmation.
