Princeton, N. j., Nov. 25.-The fresh
men teams of Yale and Princeton play
ed their annual football game on the
Varsity field here this afternoon. The
Princeton team was especially strong,
and it calculated to have an easy time
with the young Ellis. The Tiger team
contained a number of Varsity and
scrub players of considerable exper-
ience, and although they have been
playing together but short time, they
can put up good football.
Wheeler failed of goal. Score: Prince
but Yale's colors were but little in evil
dence.
Neither Holt nor Baird played to-
day, although no protest was received
from the Yale management regarding
them. Under Princeton's rules both
were eligible, but out of courtesy to
Yale they were not used, inasmuch as
Holt has not been a year out of Har-
ward, and since Baird played on the
freshman eleven last year. The two
eievens faced each other as follows:

A STABLE GOLD BALANCE
REPORT THAT THE TREASURY WILL
ISSUE GOLD CERTIFICATES.

A Mysterious Conference of Treasury Of
fcials and Bankers General Impression
is That Certificates VIII be Issued to Sc
cure a Reserve That VIII Insure Pro-
lection Against Any Drain.
New York, Nov. 25.-Assstant Secre-
tary of the Treasury Curtis, Assistant
Treasurer Jordan and President Tap
pen of the Gallatin National bank, con-
ferred for nearly an hour in the sub
treasury to-day. None Of the gentle
men would state, when the meeting
was over, what the subject had been
under discussion but there were any
number of rumors in the street as to
what had occurred.
Washington, Nov, 25,-No informa-
tion is vouchsafed at the treasury de-
partment as to the cause of Assistant
Secretary Curtis visit to New York,
but it is believed to be in connection
with the proposed renewal of the is
suance of gold certificates. 1t was
generally understood the department
that upon the return of the assistant
secretary, Secretary Carlisle would is
sue an order permitting the resumption
of this practice.
The secretary has authority to stop
the issue of gold certificates whenever
the reserve falls below the one hundred
million mark. The cessation of this is
sue has happened frequently during the
past four years, but it is now believed
that the ordinary course of business
1of i,,+o a
has been found inconvenient for the
banking institutions of the country.
There has been no stable gold since
1898. When Secretary Carlisle took
hold of the treasury in March, 1898,
there was $116,000,0 of gold certificates
outstanding, but these have been stead
lily withdrawn. When the first suspen-
sion of the issue of gold certificates oc-
CURED there was $114,000000 outstand-
ing. This happened in April, 1898. At
ter the sale of bonds the gold reserve
was recouped, but only temporarily.
On two different occasions the issue of
gold certificates was resumed, but it
was stopped at both times within two
or three days after the order was made
permitting them. Then the secretary
decided not to again direct their issue
until the balance was stable.
To-day the outstanding gold certifi-
Gates aggregate only $39, 5SS,139. The is
sue proposed consists of denominations
of $4,000 and $4,000, and the certificates
will be issued to such persons as de-
| posit the gold in the treasury upon
which they are issued. These issues
are largely used by banks as a part of
their reserve fund, and enable them
to carry large amount of the equiva-
| lent of gold without the bulk of the
article itself and without the attendant
| losses hV q ahra sion. etc.
