THE COLLEGE SHOW BUSINESS.
Students Should Not Travel Around
i'm Ball Teams or Glee Clubs.

Buffalo Commercial.
There Is a sentiment rapidly spreading
and taking root in the minds of the alumni
of the different universities of this country
antagonistic to the excessive amount Of
show business in which the students of
American institutions of learning are per-
that the only legitimate field for the ex-
tellectual and musical aceompiishments Of
these young men is to be found In the uni
versity athletic grounds, the university the
aters and society halls. In other words,
the alumni and a large body of thoughtful
people not directly connected with the vari-
Gus seats OF learning are coming to an
agreement that the college youth is alto
gether too much in evidence outside of the
college yards, either for his own good or
the legitimate prestige Of his particular
OF course, the conditions under which the
rowing matches are held make the selection
of a somewhat retired and neutral course
like that at New London fit and proper;
but the football, like the baseball, matches
should be confined to college grounds. with

spectators, reducing the expenses and mini

would undergo less excitement and suffer
less distraction from their legitimate col
lege work if the scale on which their ath-
letic rivalries are tested We're effectively
reduced. When these rivalries become mat
ters of national concern they naturally tend
to become dangerously intense and injuri-
Gus to health and morals.
We think this policy OF restraint should
also be applied to the practice that has now
become universal among the colleges of
sending out troupeS of young men organ
lied as glee, banjo and mandolin clubs to
give public performances for money in the
leading cities during the holiday recess.
These lads travel about the country in spe-
cial cars, give ten or fifteen concerts in pub
lie halls, and undergo a succession of $50
cial attentions calculated to impair the
constitutions Of seasoned men, to say MOTH
ing of immature youths who are supposed
to be resting and recuperating from the
strain OF three months of hard work at
their lessons and lectures. Essentially their
performances are not to be DISTINGUISHES
from the professional shows, and when they
become an annual affair they are as tire
some as they are surely a tax on the good
nature of the local alumni, besides beina
an unwholesome experience to those who
take part in them.
We nave heard that the authorities al

banjo clubs of that university that their

Comptroller Cushman Quarles of the Louisville and Nashville has sent out his weekly comparative statement of gross earnings of the road for the third week of August.
 For the third week the gross earnings in the freight, passenger and miscellane- ous departments in round numbers, is s377 ,145, divided as follows, $2569l0 for freight; $95,945 for passengers, and SEA- 290 for miscellaneous. As compared with 1894 this is an increase of $9S70 in all the departments, and for 1893 an increase of $57. .755. The decrease as compared with 1892 is $45, ,9S0.
 gross earnings were $1,119,S70 as against $l,132.995 for 1894, and $1 ,029, 7S5 for 1893 and $1,27S,755 for 1892 This shows a de- crease for this time this year, against the same time in 1894 of $13125 and for the same time in 1892 of $15SSS5 but as against 1893 there is an increase of $9O.- 0S5
 The comparative earnings from July to August 2l shows up much better than the two statements above and is as fol- lows: Earnings for 1885, $2,7S3, ,995, as against $2,561 ,S9S for 1894, an increase of 2,097; as against S2716994 for 1893, an increase of SCHOOL; as against $3,113025 for 1892, a decrease of $329, ,030.

DENBY CLEARS UP MATTERS.
His Cablegram Shows He Has Been Reasona- ply Diligent-The Investigation Pro-
 gressng Satisfactorily.

Washington, Aug. 28.-Minister Denby, at Pekin, has cabled a long explanation to the state department with reference to events connected with the inquiry into the Kuehung massacre, which he had previously failed to report, thereby causing some dissatisfaction in official circles.
 MT. Denby had maintained so long silence, despite the anxiety of the depart ment to hear from him in regard to these matters, that it was determined to cable him a synopsis of the newspaper re- . alleged attempts to prevent full in- -quiry by the American and British com missioners into the massacre and the re- popted reappointment of the degraded vceroy, Liu, the supposed instigator of the Chen Tu riots. -,.
 This was done and Mr Denby was re- quired to state whether these reports were true. While the wording of the cablegram thus sent can hardly be deemed a demand for an explanation, according to the interpretation given it at the state department today, the fact that it was sent confirms the statements published that Mr Denby's long silence was causing dissatisfaction. On the whole, the answer of the minister shows that he was diligent in the performance of his duty and the explanation of his silence appears to be that he did not deem some of the information in his pos session sufficiently important to cable
 Today the department received dis patches from MT. Denby, dated August 27, in which he states that >e1. Hixson, our consul at Foo Chow, started for kuien. under orders from him, to investi- gate the recent riots there in the early part of this month. MT. Hixson went with the consent of the Chinese govern ment and under the protection of an es- cort furnished by the provincial author ities. He was accompanied by a naval officer of our fleet, the latter, as the de- sources, being Commander Newell of the Detroit MT. Hixson has reported to Minister Denby that the work of the commission at Kuchung is proceeding smoothly and that the Chinese officials are lending their active cooperation.
 A considerable number of convictions have already been secured. As to the Szu Chuan commission MT. Denby states that it will begin its work as soon as the British consul at Chung King, who has been designated by his government to serve thereon, can leave his post, which for the time being he finds it inn possible to do.
 The late viceroy of Szu Chuan, Liu Ping Chang, has not been appointed by the Pekin government it's commissioner Tor investigating the June or August rlotS. but he has received orders from the emperor to remain at his post at Cheng Iu until his conduct prior to and during the riots has been thoroughly investi- gated.
