THEY ARE STILL FAR APART
Yale and Harvard Football Teams
Have Reached No Decision.
Said to Be In he Ha nds of Prom.
tnent Yale Alumni.

New Haven, Sept. 2O.-Capt. Thorne, OF
candidates last evening and informed them
that the Yale management was not consid-
ering a conference with the Harvard team
with a view of arranging Yale Harvard
| game this fall.
He said there was nothing to be an
| nounced relative to the alleged conference,
! but would not deny that one was contem-
plated.
Manager Foote, of the Yale eleven, is
still in New York.
!. 1t is believed here that the attempt TO ef-
feet a Harvard reconciliation has been en-
trusted to prominent Yale alumni by the
management of the, football eleven.
Halligan, the big guard of the Naval
Academy eleven, is at present coaching a
school team in Boston.
The Orange Athletic football team, of
Orange, N. j., will practice three nights
week at Orange oval. Electric lights
are to be used to illuminate the gridiron.
Trenchard, of Princeton, and Greenway,
of Yale, are TO play the end positions for
Orange this year.
Theme announces that all of the Yale
candidates are in excellent form, and that
the team this year will be an exceptionally
strong one.
Trafton is to have charge of Lehjghs
team again this year.
The Brown University team will have the
same rush line as last year, except Center
rush Combs. Mccarthy, however, is the
years team.
The Dartmouth College team this year is
said to be unusually light.
A. c. Caldwell, of Atlanta, Ga, is ar
ranging dates for the famous team of the
Virginia Agricultural and Mechanical Col
lege TO play in the Exposition City. The
VirSinias played seventy-two intercollegi-
ate matches in 1894 and won them ALL
The New Jersey Athletic Club team is
10 play the Naval Academy eleven at An
napolis on October IL.
II is predicted that there will be no end
of trouble this year on account of rules
Up 10 this time three distinct sets have been
promulgated, and how many more will
come no one can tell.
I'm former years the four big colleges,
Harvard, Yale, Princeton and Pennsylvania,
drew up the rules, but this year there has
been no concert of action" says the Boston
Herald. Yale and Princeton, the sole re-
naming members of the once great inter-
collegiate association, have formed a set of
rules of their own, and, not to be outdone,
Harvard, Pennsylvania and Cornell have
taken hand at the work of revision. The
question is, What will the other college
teams do? Will they play according to the
old rules or take one of the new codes?
Another perplexins question is, Which set of
rules will be recognized as official?"

TRACK AND STABLE.

Brown Dick and Eugene Leigh refused
$4,000 for Ben Brush after he won the
Holly Handicap at Gravcsend on Tues
day, beating Margrave and Crescendo.
These men still believe that they have the
best colt of the year, nothw outstanding
he has been beaten several times recently.
The second special is to be run at Graves
land next week. Henry of Navarro, Dom
ino, Ray el Santa Anita. Clifford and Sir
Walter are all to start, but the race will
not have the interest that the first special,
ran on Tuesday last, had Henry of Ma
yarre, having twice beaten Domino and Rey
el Santa Anita. is now looked upon as being
capable of performing the task whenever
he is called upon TO do so. The next race,
however, will not be without interest. Cliff
ford made splendid showing in the event
of Tuesday, and he is looked 10 10 give Ma
varre a lively chase in the coming event
The layers of odds at Gravescnd are said
TO be getting a chilly deal from the bettors.
The latter element have sifled things SO
finely that it is a rare thing for more than
trio of horses to carry any considerable
amount of money, and in nine cases in
ten one of the three wins and the books
get the W orst of it.
Monroe Salisbury is in correspondence
with the Terre Haute racing people with
regard to starting Azoteto beat the W orld's
trotting record, 2:O3 ga, now held by
Ahx Salisbury has said lumber of times
that Azotc is faster than Alix, and as the
Terre Haute track is one Of the very best
in the country, and Alix won't over it q
year ago in 2:04, though her worlds rec
ord was made at Indianapolis, trial by
Azote here under favorable conditions
would prove a very fair measure of his
speed as against that Of the mare.
The Terre Haute Trotting Association
seems to be making an effort To outdo its
former achievements Besides wanting
Azote 10 try for the trotting record, they
are negotiating With the Hamlins to get
them to start Robert J. TO teat his own
record, 2:01 1-2, made over their track
a year ago. The Hamlins profess 10 believe
that the gelding is faster now than he ever
was, and If they are sincere in what they
say there is little doubt that they will send
him to lower his mark.

the Police Gazette in New York, offering
the use Of the Amphitheater, which is right
In the heart of the city, for the Corbett-
Fitzsimmons fight, with purse of $780,
900.
1t is thought that the offer may be ac-
:epted, as 1t is believed here that it cannot
come off in Texas, judging from the atti-
tude of the Governor.
Railroads promise the cheapest excur-
sion rates, should the fight come OFT
here.
The dispatch to Fox stated that four
finish fights took place in the Amphi-

license fee to Comptroller Finley, and II
he does not grant the license they will
force him to do SO by mandamus proceed
hgs; that the club will demand protection
of the civil authorities at Dallas during

decision, this protection must be granted
it by the civil authorities.
In this view the club is backed by the
ablest lawyers and jurists in this State.
CULBERsoN WILL FIGHT.
Gov. Culberson last might stated that
whether the prize-fight law was valid or
not, he intended stopping the fight by
means o the common law; that he intended
to take the same action that Gov. Ross
did in 1889, when he kept Kilrain and
Sullivan out of the State by bringing the
common law against unla wful assem-
blages to bear on them.
If necessary, as means of stopping the
fight, the governor intimated he would
personally assume command of n sufficient
force and go to Dallas

Washington Post; II Is probable that the
experiences derived from tho Taylor episode
will be useful TO the state. The next legis-
lature will undoubtedly be expected to pass
a law Ia regard to defalcations that Will pro-
vide severe penalties. IL will also be ex-
pected to provide safeguards for the security
Of public funds. SO that future treasurers VIII
be compelled to draw the line between their
personal and their official accounts.
st, Paul Pioneer Press: Judge GafIey Is to
be commended for passing over the section
allowing only a two years sentence for en-
bezzlement and sentencing Embezzler Taylor
to the fullest limit for grand larceny. 1t 10
assumed that this proceeding is legal, or the
judge would not have taken 1t, and II Is to
be hoped that no hidden loophole can be found
through which the prisoner may escape what
the public will pronounce a far lighter SEN
tence than he deserved.
Chicago Record; As the presiding judge
pointed out, Taylor's worst crime consisted
not in the fact that he had injudiciously
loaned the state funds but in the fact that
when he found himself involved he not only
wen. on issuing more state funds but stole
all the public money he could lay hands on nd
fled, evidently believing that the very eN-
tent of his embe1zlement would put the state
in a position where 1t would compromise on
almost any terms, provided the greater part
Of the plumber were returned. He followed the
course laid down by a ~rascally New York
lawyer a few years ago, who advised a
specializing bank teller to steal a million
dollars and run away, because the bank would
have to compromise. Five years at hard
labor and the name Of felCn is punishment
severe enough to make Taylor wish he
hadn't: whereas his own plan involved that
the denouement should find him in a pleasant
and easy position,

THE GOLDEN HARVEST.

Kansas City Globe: Nebraska's crops this
year appear to have been constructed with
especial reference to wiping out the unfavor-
able impression created by last years short
age.
indianapolis Journal: The reports of Ne
braska barns and granaries bursting with har-
vested crops are far more pleasant to COM
template than those of want and starvation
which the sympath!zing public had to read
last year.
Boston Globe: This year we have a corn
crop that at fair prices will be worth over ST.
900, 900, 900, and our agricultural products will
represent over 50, 900, 900, 900 Of wealth.
These immense crops cannot well stay on
our hands with a hungry world outside Of
us. The calamity tooters have about exhausted
their wind. Keep business booming and their
last faint gasps will expire with the coming
Of the autumn harvests.
Globe Democrat: The big corn crop will
reduce the price per bushel to the farmer,
but it will help the country and the farmer
nevertheless. Large crops always bring pros
perity. The western railroads are expecting
larger gross receipts in the next twelve
months than they have had at any time in
the past two or three years. or course,
larger receipts will necessitate larger dis
bursements and increase the general bust
ness activity.
st. Paul Pioneer Press: What a fertile
soil will do under favorable conditions is
illustrated by Nebraska. Not a year ago her
sister states were sending contributions 10
enable her citizens to live through the winter.
Farms were worthless in many sections be-
cause there were no buyers at any price.
some owners even abandoned their homes,
more than satisfied to begin the struggle
again elsewhere. with empty hands, but with
an even chance. Now a wheat crop OF To-
600, 900 bushels has been secured, about 3d.
900, 900 bushels of oats are nearly ready for
sale, and $50. 900. 900 bushels of corn are al
most beyond the danger of frost. 1t is not
the money which will be received for these
crops which measures the benefit to the
farmers. The $40, 900 900 which these> pro-
ducts are estimated to be worth Is but a
fraction Of the eventual profit TO the farmer.
This amount will be received in cash, ami
will be noted because readily available. The
greatest value OF the crop to the farmers
will come from the restoration OF values to
the lands because OF Nebraska's restored rep
utation as an agricultural and grazing
state.

IOWA PRESS

Sioux City Journal: If the Nebraska man
who has had only one short nap in nine
months seriously feels the need of sleep he
should join the police force in one of the
large cities.
Sioux City Times: There is nothing to
depress the value of Iowa farm and-not
even the remotest prospect of the election
of a democratic state administration. Iowa is
a favored state.
Cedar Rapids Gazette: It is pleasant to
have all the partisan papers in Iowa admit
that one party Is juSt as good as the other.
Under the circumstances the independents
are inclined TO the same opinion.
Des Moines Register: The report of the
warden of the Fort % Madison psnitentiary

THAT LONG-DEL1YED CLAIM.


The statement that an agreement has
finally been reached for the payment of
the Mora claim by Spain in September
may be expected to stand for mt least
twCnty-four hours. though in view of
the fact that there is Il hitch as to
whether it shall be paid ut Madrid or
Washington it is possible that Mr.. Mora
will not get his money at the date said
to have been settled upon. In order to
get it at all the claimant has waived
interest to the amount of several hun
bred thousand dollars and it is impos-
siblc to say how much of it he will
have left when he has settled with the
attorneys. Notwithstanding the very
generous consideration which our gov
eminent has shown to Spain in this mat
ter there are expressions of diSsatis-
faction from Spanish sources because
this government has insisted upon pay
ment now when Spain is engaged in
putting down Il revolt in Cuba that
calls for all her financial resources.
Were the matter new or had it been
in controversy only Il year or two there
might be some reason in Il complaint
of this kind, but when it is remembered
that the claim is some twenty years
old and that its justice was acknowl-
edged all of ten years ago by the Span
ish government. dissatisfaction because
our government demands that there
shall be no further delay in settling it
is wholly unreasonable. The fact is
that probably if it were not for the
existence of the Instruction in Cuba
the Spanish government would find eX
cuses for keeping off payment of this
claim still longer and its agreement to
settle now is largely due to Il sense of
eXpediency, rather than to Il desire to
be just. 1t is very important to Spain
at this j%uncture to keep on good terms
with the United States government and
people.
