FOOTBALL BOMBsHELL.
Harvard Boys Greatly Excited Over
the FacuEfy,s Decision.

BOSTON, Feb. 20 1S95.-If a bomb had
exploded ON the Harvard College camps
last evening it could hardly have caused
more excitement among the students than
the announcement of the faculty's adj
verse opinion of football 1t took every
one by complete surprise.
Prof Ames, Chairman of the Athletic
Committee, was seen but he was not in
clined to talk. He said:-"I think it
would be hardly becoming in me at this
time to make any statement in regard
to the vote. think. though, that the
vote is little more than suggestion.
1t is not designed to interfere with the
functions of the committee in the least
and is certainly not final until the COM
mittee has had meeting. This will be
held within a week probably, when final
action will be taken. 1 would not care
TO say what 1 think this action will be-"
Both Captain Brewer and ex-Captain
Emmons of the eleven were surprised
at the vote, and both seemed to think
it was a trifie hasty. Mr.. Emmons said:
ST am sure that no full investigation has
been made by the faculty. We have
gone into minute investigation in re-
gard to the alleged brutality and have
the Athletic Committee. It has not been
submitted, however, as the committee has
not met recently. 1 do not think the
faculty fully understand the real nature
of the game, and they have not looked
into the matter carefully enough to war;
rant such a vote. 1 look upon 1t, though,
as merely the expression of the faculty
opinion, and I hope to see the Athletic
Committee treat this important matter
as carefully as it deserves. 1t would
be too bad to stop the game now, when
we are getting 1t at its proper standard,
and just when we are getting on the
right road to winning. I don't think 1t
is abolished yet, however"
DR.. Conant. who has been the medical
adviser of the eleven for some years,
said that he was surprised at this ac-
ton. He thought, however, that 1T
amounted to little more than an express
sion of opinion. He was in favor, he
said, of confning intercollegiate con-
tests to college towns, as he thought too
much of the outside element was creep
ing into the big games.
This same idea, it is understood. was
expressed at the faculty meeting by Prof.
Morgan, who said that noticeably in
the Yale-Princeton and Harvard Y ale
games the contests had lost their peculiar
college flavor

Winifred Drysdale (N1adge Yorke), who
was captured here early this morning
with his skull fractured a rib in his
right side broken and with three super
fetal wounds over his heart, is in a
semi-conscious condition at the German
Hospital. The doctors state that while
the man is seriously iniured, the frac-

by his jumping from Il window IN es-

ing inflicted with perknife with sui

recovery.
GUARDED AT THE HOSPITAL.
Gentry is guarded by two policemen,
and the Hospital authorities will not al
low anyone to communicate with him.
However, as the man is only conscious
at intervals. it is probable that no con-

GOOD CHANCE TO LIVE.
The exposure to which the murderer
was subjected from Sunday night until
after midnight this morning and the lack
of food has greatly weakened him, but
the doctors think that after. he shah
have received sufficient stimuianss that
this will be overcome In case Gentry
should live it will probably be week
or more before he can be pronounced
out of danger.
The police have notified the mans rela-
tives and some Of them are expected to
visit him today.

$3.50 in his possession when searched al

road ticket ITO New York and some other
yaluables.
The murderer, although comparative
stranger in Philadelphia, was afraid tt
expose himself to either receive medica
treatment or to obtain food. It is no
known just when Gentry inflicted the
stab wounds over his heart, but the fact
that they are not serious shows that the
attempt at self destruction was made

FINANCE DOCTORS.
What the Great Bankers of New
York Want of the Government.
MOL Unanimous about Retiring the Green
backs. All Want more Long
time Bonds.

The leading fnanciers of New York
have been asked by the Commercial Ad-
vertlser to give their opinions regarding
the best course for the incoming congress
to take with view to putting the fnan-
ces OF the nation upon that secure basis
necessary to sound business prosperity.
The canvass reveals the fact that there
Is quite a division of sentiment as to the
proposition that the retirement of the
greenbacks should be the first care of the
incoming congress. There are several
leading bankers who come out fiat footed
against such recommendation They
believe that the causes of our present
financial ills are not to be laid to the
door of the legal tenders.
There is considerable unanimity on
the proposition to modify the existing
customs duties, although in number of
cases anything like an extensive over
hauling of the tariff at this time was de-
precated, the idea being that the busi-
ness of the country needed rest from
"tariff tinkering" for at least a twelve
month.
1t will be noticed that the Wall street
leaders OF the financial world, both
democratic and republican, are unani-
mously agreed that congress should at
tempt to pass some legislation as early
as practicable looking to an increase in
the income OF the government.
Here is what some bankers think:
President Sherman OF the Bank of
Commerce, in which j. Pierpont Nor
gan has large interests:
"The first thing that congress should
do is to take steps for providing sufficient
revenue for the different departments of
the government to carry on their work.
This can be done either through mod
iiication of the customs duties, or bv
internal revenue.
"The next thing to take up should be
the financial question. / think that the
present silver circulation is a greater
menace to the credit OF the country than
the legal tender notes. We should re-
tire silver dollars, rather than green
