1.-THE agreed facts in this issue make it
plain that the existence of a tie was &C.
kuowledged by both contestants after free
access to the scores, and that the decision
of the umpire that q tie existed was not

the time of its announcement. Ihls makes

decision of the match in its entirety. Ihls

Had there been any fraud in the mat
ter, any endeaVor on the port of Princeton
knowingly to impose a false total on
their opponents, the record would have
been vitiated by fraud and thereby rem
dered void. No such suggestion is IN
derstood as made in this case. 1t was q
blunder on the part Of both teams, q
blunder for which Yale suffer, and for
which she can place the blame nowhere
but on her own shoulders. Assuming
that the error actually and innocently eX-
listed, the victory of Princeton can only
be regarded as a technical one, a victory
under an Interpretation of well estab-
lisned and wise rules. 1t would be a
gracious act on the part OF the winners of
suca a match to waive their rights as VIC
tors by rule, and re-enter the fields as con-
testants in a rehoot Of the entire match
from the start,

the shoot. The senior declared that Yale

total was SO. The tie was decided by

error of one point had been made in the
original score, and Yale's total should

Princeton insisted that 40 error had been
made and declined to surrender the
honor. Harvard backed Princeton. The
question was referred to the editor, and
his decision is in favor of Princeton, but
he suggests another match.

NEW ENGLISH CABINET.
The Premier Makes His Appointments and
Disappoints the Radicals.

Mr. Gladstone has had his way with the
forming Of a new Cabinet. 1t Is organized on
old lines. Some of tho mon in it were in it IL
years ago; the new ones are men of the same
character and opinions. The Cabinet is COM
posed of: Mr. Gladstone, Lord Privy Seal and
First Lord of the Treasury; Earl Rosebery,
Foreign Secretary; Baron Herschell, Lord
Chancellor; Sir William Vernon Harcourt
Chancellor of the Exchequer; Herbert H. AS
quith, Home Secretary; The Right Hon. Henry
III. Fowler, President of the Local Government
Board The Right Hon. III. Campbell Banner
man, Secretary of State for War; Earl Spencer,
First Lord of the Admiralty; The Right Hon.
John Morley, Chief Secretary for Ireland; The
Right Hon. A. j. Mundella, President of the
Board of Trade: Sir Charles Russell, Attorney
General; John Rigby. Solicitor General;
the Right Hon. Samuel Walker, Lord Chan
cellor of Ireland; Mr.. MacDermott, Attorney
General for Ireland; the Right Hon. Edward
p. c.. Maioribanks, Patronage Secretary to the
TREASURY; Alexander Asher, Solicitor-General
for Scotland; the Right Hon. ]. B. Bsifour.
Lord Advocate for Scotland; the Earl OF KIM
berly, Secretary of State for India and Vice.
President of the Council; the Marquis of Rpon,
Secretary of State for the Colonies; Sir George
O. Trevelyn, Secretary for Scotland; Arnold
Morley, Postmaster General; Arthur Herbert
Dyke Acland, Vice. President of the Council on
Education; Baron Houghton, Viceroy of Ire
land without seat in the Cabinet. The de-
mands of the new Radical and Labor wing Of
the Liberal party have been altogether disre-
garded in the arrangement. Mr.. Gladstone
stands by his Wing training. Henry Labou-
chere is left out. to the amusement of his enc
mics and the regret of his Radical friends
Labouchere's position and services in the last
House presumably entitled him to Cabinet
position and to place in the Ministry. The
administration includes the 80 or 40 men
who hold Office at the head of departments as
assistants and in various subordinate positions.
The Ministry includes about 90 leading
members of the administration" and the
cabinet" has in it ordinarily the Premier.
The Chancellor of the Exchequer. and IL heads
of great departments in the ministry" Mr..
Labouchere gets nothing in all this.

General.
Nancy Hanks Lowers the Record.

The greatest trotting that the world has ever
known was witnessed last week at Washington
Park, New York. Nancy Hanks. the mare
owned by ]. Malcolm Forbes and driven by
Budd Doble. The achievement was mile in
g: OH on d circular track in front of pneu-
matic-tired sulky.
Nancy Hanks has eclipsed both the record of
Maud So: OS3-on circular track, and that
of Sunol-2 :OS4-On kite-shaped track.
Nancy Hanks was bred by II. Boswell on a
farm near Lexington, Ky. Mr.. Boswell was not
especially a horseman, but like most farmers in
tho bluegrass region, he had well-bred trot-
ting mare, aud in 1856 she produced the brown
FLY now famous as Nancy Hanks. The en-
bryo queen of the turf was not given the early
training or care that she would have had in
great trotting establishment. Her first educa-
ton was at the hands of an inexperienced
young man, Entrich, entirely unknown as
trainer. She made her debut at Harrodsburg,
KY, July, 1889, when she beat good field of
three.year olds in 2:27t 2: 254, 2:25t.
In her four year-old form she was very Sue
cessful, and last year she was only unsuccess-
full in attempts to beat time. She beat Margaret
S., at Chicago, in straight heats, the last one In
2:124; and at Independence, Iowa, she beat
Allerton and Margaret s.. in 2:l2. 2:l24, 2:12,
aud at Buffalo she beat Belle Hamlin i'll a mile
dash in 2:164. At Richmond, Ind. Sept 30. over
a regulation track, she gained record OF 2:O9
against time.
This year she has made several unsuccessful
attempts to lower her record, and last week, at
Grand Rapids, Mich, with the advantage of
pneumatic sulky, she trotted in 2:09, the track
being trife slow.

Situation in Alabama,

The Alabama Democrats are beginning to
suffer from the laws designed by them to con-
troll elections in that State, whether they were
in the majority or not. At the recent election
the majority of the whites voted for Kolb who
was bolter from the regular Democratic party,
and who received the support of the Farmers
Alliance. No one disputes that he got ma
iority of the white vote. But Jones, the regu-
lar Democratic nominee claims his election as
Governor over kolb by alleged majorities in
the Black Countless" or those Counties where
the negroes are in large majorities, and where
Jones men had entire control OF the ballot boxes
aud used the laws which had been made by
united Democracy to suppress the black vote
in Jones's interest The kslb men will never
be convinced that thess mxjorities were not
manufactured, because they know very well
from their own experience chow easily this is
done. They helped to build the trap which has
at last caught them.
The result of this is that Jones has been, as
they claim, counted in, and now the Kolb
Democrats have fused with the Third Party
men the Kolb Executive Committee and the
Executive Committee of sthssThird Party hav.
ing met last week at Birmingham, where they
worked together in perfHct harmony and
wound up by issuing sail Tor joint conven-
ton to put out candidates. for Congress and
Presidential electors. The5fusion is called to
meet in Birmingham on September Is, and
Gen. Weaver, the Third Partys candidate for
President it is announcedy will be present and
will deliver speech Tha Chairman of the
Kolb Executive Committee shas announced the
fact that the Republicans would withdraw
their electoral ticket and support the Kolb can
didates, which has been confirmed by leading
Republicans
The Kob leaders with anger and revenge at
the defeat of their ticket by such shameless
methods as were used, they claim, by the regu.
lar Democrats, and now they propose to re.
venge themselves by helping to carry Alabama
against Cleveland and Stevenson.

Russian Policy.

There is no relaxation in the determined en-
deavor of the Russian Government to stifie all
Nationalist feeling in the Baltic Provinces and
to make the Russian language and the orthodox
Greek religion paramount there. With this
object in view the Minister of Public Educa-
ton has made the use Of the Russian language
compulsory in such of the naval schools Of the
Duchy of Courand as have hitherto been ex-
empt. The railway officials in the Baltic
Provinces have also received notice that they
must prove their efficiency in the Russian Ian
guage before an examining commission sent
from st. Petersburg
