COLLECTOR B4RcocK ooNrIRMrD
He will Succeed Collector Winchell Prob ably Within a Week.

.4It. aDiy W1tnln week.
 The United States senate yesterday confirmed the nomination of Henry H Babcock as collector of the port of New Haven. The nomination of MT Babcock, who lives at 37 College street, this city, was made by President Cleve- land early in December
 Collector Balbcock succeeds the pres ent collector of the port. J. Rice Win chell, who was appointed by ex-Presi- dent Harrison in February, 1893, suc- ceeding the late A. H Kellam, who died in January, 1893. The income of the office is about $3,00O per annum. It is expected that MT, Babcock will assume the position in about a week, as it generally takes that length of time to file the required bond of $S0,000 with the secretary of the treasury. At the pres ent time the two deputy collectors, Ezra B. Dlbble and George Osborn are demo- crats, the latter having been but re- gently appointed.
 Some surprise has been expressed that Collector Winchell was not allowed to serve out the full term of four years, but the fact is that the collector of the port Is outside of the civil service rules As explained last night, any office, the holder of which is appointed by the president and confirmed by the senate is not within the province of the civil service regulations.

Nine Days Overdue.

New York, Feb. 15.-The steamer City of St Augustine from Jacksonville for New York is now nine days over due. If the steamer has been disabled by breakage of machinery, she may have been carried hundreds of miles off her course, and it would be almost impossible for her to have yet been able to beat back with her limited sail power against the strong westerly winds which have prevailed for several days.

IMP oRrANr BAsEBA11 MEETING

One Hundred Candidates For the Varsity
 Team Captain Rustin Talks to Them of
 the Plans of Practice-No Professional
 Coaches.
 A meeting of all candidates for the University baseball team was held last evening in room 10 at the Yale gymna- sium. Captain Rustin of the Varsity team, who was elected last summer, presided and spoke to men, calling their attention to the necessity of sharper work and harder practice than that of last years training, as so little time re- mains before the Easter trip, for which the team will leave April 10 A new policy has been embarked on by the captains of both the baseball and foot ball teams in not beginning practice so early as has hitherto been the custom, and the result of this new departure is anxiously awaited. It is thought that it will be more advantageous for the teams, as the necessity of hard work on account of the short time of prepara- ton, 1t seems, will give the men more snap and the required vim.
 Captain Rustin also announced that the names of those required for the Varsity squad would be decided upon after a few days preliminary practice, perhaps in about two weeks. One hum dred candidates for the team were present last evening, the most of them being freshmen, with only about twen- ty-five from the other classes, including all of those now in college, who played last year, except Murphy, who is as yet undecided whether he wifi play or not.
 The candidates for positions on the battery will be called ,oyt next W eGDes- day, and will be coached in the cage back of the gymnasium by Rustin and Dutch" Carter, the famous pitcher. These men will also have charge of the freshman team candidates, who will begin work February 27.
 After the University squad is chosen from the freshman candidates these to- gether with the remaining candidates will be given daily work in the cage, of about two hours each afternoon. Another important thing decided upon at the meeting last evening was that no professional coach will be hired this year, as it Is thought better work will be done by coaching from those thoroughly in touch with college athlet- ics.

AT NORTH SHEFFIELD HAL1.
First of the Mechanics' Lectures of th'
 Season of '95.

Season of '95.
 North Sheffield hall was crowded tC it's utmost last evening at the first lee ture of the Mechanics course for '95 The lecture was on "The Natives oi PrIbylov Islands," by MT. J. Stanley Brown.
 MT. Stanley-Brown has made com. plete and thorough study of his subject In 1891 he went to these islands at the request of the secretary of the treasury He was sent to make study of seal life. He later went to Paris with the Behring sea commission, testifying for the United States as an expert before the French arbitration tribunal
 The speaker was escorted to the lecture stand by Prof Farnam. He H. lustrated his lecture by stereopticon views from photographs made by him. self
 Mr. Stanley-Brown Interestingly de- scribed the people of the Pribylov Is- lands. The Aleuts, he thinks, ought to be commended for establishing them selves for some time on a line of is- lands, the separation being sometimes sixty and seventy miles, their only transportation being a small boat made of skins and bones and small sticks. They built spacious houses of whale bones, drift wood and soil,
 The influence of Russian civilization has been said to be summed up in this: Since the time of their first intercourse with the Russians their character, habits, mode of life and even their very name have been totally changed. Ground into the very dust by the op- pression of the ruthless invaders, their religious rites, gay festivals and deter mined character have all passed away. A shade of melancholy is now one of their national characteristics
 When the United States purchased Alaska the condition became quickly changed. It was the characteristic American transition from poverty to riches, from squalor to luxury. The rude sod houses gave way to neat cot tages, making beautiful villages with churches and school houses.
 The cornpany's allowance of forty for SdCH Sedl SlAlll Idhen iIldue them llTSL prosperous, then extravagant For in stance, they spent much in buying useless things. A number, it is true, were prudent, and ultimately had good bank accounts, In the main. however, they were extravagant.
 They still have many characteristics showing their true descent, although a generous infusion of Caucaslon blood and an adoption of American dress and modes of life have done much to oblit- crate it. They are strict devptes to re- ligion, susceptible to fiattery vulnerable to ridicule and fail in practical life. They ars susceptible to- Kindness, and are undemonstrative

Washington, Feb. 15.-There will be no further financial legislation attempt ed by the house at this session.
