Action was Necessary.

Secretary Carlisle was forced into this
this issue by the apparent improbability
Of se curing immediate action by congress
authorizing a shorter term and lower rate
of interest
1t seemed TO be matter OF regret
among treasury officials that some other
step could not be taken by which shorter
term obligat' ms could not have been IS
sued, but tn bonds are the shortest he
can issue under the act of 1875
Anticipatory of this action by the Sec
retary preparations have been made by
the bureau engraving and printing 20
prepare the nds. There will be no de-
lay in turning out the blanks as fast as
may be necessary. Fifteen offers, aggre-
eating in valNe $4,000 900, have been
awaiting the secretary's pleasure. One of
these was for SIS. 600
Owing to late hour at which the
bonds were inted It was impossible for
a sufficient number TO be run off 10 send
to the various subtreasuries throughout
the country. They will be sent out today
so that they may be posted and furnished
TO persons interested.

 The annual hard luck story has como from Harvard again and again this sea- son. and If the reports have not been ex. aggerated the Tearcrs of the crimson have certainly been marks for n largo crop of the slings and arrows of outrageous for tune. Several arms and legs and vast number of collar bones have been broken in practice, and at one time or another nearly tho entire football squad has been on the hospital list. Despite this fact, however, Harvard has n very strong eleven today, and her score of 22 to l2 against Cornell compares favnrably with Yales victory against the same eleven by score of i2 to 4.
 Harvard, the oldest college in the Unit cd States, has also been playing football in one form or another for generations. Like Tale, she claims to have lntrouuceu the Rugby game to the United States, and in 1877 Yale and Harvard met in what is said to have been tho first actual Rugby game ever played between two American colleges. The game was won by the Yale team, explained by Eugene V. Baker, who seems moro entitled to the sobriquet, Fla ther of Football" at Yale than Walter Camp, the morc famous graduate, who now bears It. Last year Harvard had very strong eleven, and many experts be- lieved that she would defeat Yale. Tho score was: Yale, 6; Harvard, O. This year many of tho same men will face Yale Captain Emmons will play left end whom Harvard meets Yale, and tho remainder of the team will line up about as follows: Hallowell or Manahan, left tackle; Mackie, left guard; Y.
