rwenty.second Day.


House-A bill by Mrs. Holly to raise
the age of consent for females from 16
to 21 years passed second reading with
but very little opposition, and none on
the final vote. When 1t was before tho
House on the first occasion two amend
ments were made which did not meet
with the approval Of the women. One
was to require the female making the
charge of criminal assault to be Of pre-
viously chaste character, and the other
was to raise the age at which a male
could be punished for such an assault
from IA to 18 years.
To-day both these amendments were
defeated and another one adopted
striking out all reference to the age Of
a male, SO that the measure reads that
any male can be punished for Grim
inal offense which he may commit with
or without the consent Of a female who
is under 21 years.
A resolution was presented from the
Republican side Of the House to have
another committee appointed by that
body to investigate the state offices for
any period 1t may see fit. The matter
will be considered Monday.

THE fortune of James G. Fair is
sliding down to the neighborhood Of
eI2 900, 900, which is the usual thing
when q legal inventory takes the place
Of q popular estimate. Jay Gould was
an exception, for appraisers made the
net value Of his estate 5000, 900.
Commodore Vanderbilt left about
800, 900, 900. But, as a rule, the
colossal fortunes of which SO much is
heard shrink immensely when tested
by actual figures.

Yale Blamed for Blocking the intercollegiate
Match

PHILADELPHIA, June 22.-S. Muir
dock Kenrick president of the Intercol-
legiate Athletic association, today re-
ceived the mail correspondence from Ok
ford and Cambridge in reply to the Ameri-
can associations challenge to the British
ers for an intercolieg late international
athletic meeting. The substance of the
reply from England has been published
in the Associated Press cablegrams.
Nh. kenrick said this evening: The
letter from the British universities shows
that the challenge of the Intercollegiate
association was at first favorably re-
ceived. 1t is evident that while it was
under consideration by the Englishmen
active representations were made to them
that Yale had opposed the plan endorsed
by all the other colleges in the association.
The Englishmen felt themselves under
honorary obligations to Yale. The letter
makes it clear that Yale took advantage
OF the situation to block the enterprise.
1--WE at first thought it possible that the
Oxford and Cambridge authorities had
misread our challenge. but this letter
makes it clear that they entirely under
stood the situation and are willing to
meet us provided thei- honorary obliga-
tion to Yale was not insisted on by the
New Haven institution

There is now considerable complication

demurrer At the trial, however, the
inspector OF the precinct testified that
he appointed Lee to act as tally clerk in
the absence OF one of the regular clerks
This is one of precinct inspectors pow.
ers under the provisions of the political

cher had no recourse but to instruct the

Lee can be tried again for the same Of
