YALE DID NOT APPLY.
Explanation of the Attitude of Cor

Explanation of the Attitude of Cor
nell and Company.
ITHACA, n. Y, Jan. 16.-In response to an
inquiry regarding the attitude of the Cornell
arvard-Pennsylvania-C Columbia combination
towards Yale, Dean White, one of CornelPs
representatives at the recent conferences. af-
ter consulting Mr.. fireman, his associate at
the conference, said this evening:
AS regards Yales relation to the triangular
AS regards Ya,e's relation to the triangular
and quadrilateral race in which Cornell has
entered, the question has never been pre-
sented or discussed at any OF the confer
ences at which the arrangements for the cur
rent year have been proposed and estab-
lished. The agreement not to extend the
membership of the quadrilateral against the
objection of any member was merely an en-
inently natural AMI proper transfer of the
understanding which has existed in the dual
arrangement between Harvard and Cornell.
and in the triangular arrangement between
Columbia. Pennsylvania and Cornell, to the
new combination of four. No application for
admission to either coordination has been
presented by Yale, and If such an application
We're submitted, it would be quite impossible
to predict what the result might be. So
far as Cornells attitude in the matter is con-
cerned, the question could only be decided
after meeting of the athletic council, the
body to which matters of general policy are
referred, has ben held. A decision would in
volve so many considerations that no one
could determine beforehand what that de-
cison might be.
Various coDjectures are INDUCED in as to
whether, at its meeting on Monday evening
next, the athletic council will decide to send
a crew to Henley next year. Cornell may
enter, and, in that event, would morally be
obliged to 60 whether or not she won the
quadrilateral. DR.. Hitchcock, head of the
department of physical training, told a re-
porter that he thought neither Cornell nor
Harvard would object to Yale's entering the
combination just arranged.

COMPTROLLER ECKELs DELIVERS
A SPEECH ON THE CUR
RENCY.
CREDIT MUST BE PRESERVED.
AS A CIRCULATING ME-
DUN.
NECESSITY OF COLD PAYMENTS
Government Cannot Bring Forth
Something of Intrfnxic Value
From Nothing.

CHICAGO, Jan. 16.-Comptro James
H. Eckels spoke tonight at the annual
banquet of the real estate board on
Our Currency SYSTEM He said in
part:
Nowhere in any nation whether of
great or little power, is there to be
found currency and financial system
SO inadequate for the purposes to be
accomplished as that of the United
States. 1t presents in it's circulation
feature the singular spectacle of nine
different kinds of currency, all except
two being directly or Indirectly de-
pendent on the credit of the United
States. The treasury department as es-
tablished is the greatest banking in
stitution in the land clothed with the
least powers for self-preservation and
beneficial action. He discussed par
ticularly the "greenback element of
the system, citing it because the harm
which it is doing must be manifest to
all; because every bond issue made to
preserve the gold reserve in the treas
ury bears testimony to the expense of
1T to the taxpayer, and every measure
introduced in congress to cancel the
Indebtedness which it represents, or
prevent the too great rapidity and
repetition of the presenting of it for
redemption, proclaims its harmfulness.
1t would be foolish to undertake to
conceal that the source of our diff
Guilty lies in the fear that the United
States cannot. in the face of exist
ing laws, maintain the gold standard
as it's unit of value. The legal tender
issues Of the government ought and
must be redeemed and retired if the
American people are to be rid of re-
curing danger and loss arising from
their being a part of our currency

ONLY ONE WAY OF ESCAPE.

ut is asserted said Mr.. Eckels,
that when the revenues of the gov
eminent exceed the necessary expendi,
lures, bond issues will cease and no
further trouble follow The difficulty,
however, goes beyond the question of
revenue and touches the vital point
in trenching upon the confidence of
those dealing with US in our ability
to always pay these obligations in gold.
Complete confidence cannot be restored
by simply increasing the governmental
income: but even. if it could, there
would be no guarantee against future
impairment of it through the same
cause. There is but one road to abso-
lutte safety, and that lies through their
payment and cancellation. When that
end is accomplished we will have, done
much to4rid the people of the belief now
entertained, that in the fiat of the
government is some magic power which
from nothing can bring forth some
thing of intrinsic value"

FOOD FOR THE CATS.
English Sparrows Have to Fight For Their
Lives In London.


If left to himself, the London sparrow
would probably multiply exceedingly,
for there is enough waste from every
human household to keep at least one
pair of sparrows. That would give some
thing like 1900, 600 sparrows TO the
area of greater London. But these fig
ures do nQt represent actual facts. The
sparrow population is vigorously kept
down. not by want of fecundity-fm at
the zoo, for instance, where food and
shelter abound, the birds seem to breed
ct all seasons of the year-but by the
operation of the natural enemy, that
great fact in all wild life, which even
the progressive London sparrow cannot
avoid. The natural enemy in this case
is the London cat. If any one viii count
up the number of houses in his or hoI
knowledge which do not possess cat,
the numbers and ubiquity Of the natural
enemy will become apparent. Poor
people keep more cats than rich people,
SO the small houses abound in cats.
Rich folsk' cats which have large
houses, rs u rule, only catch tho spar
rows on their own estate, but poor cats
have to poach at large. and their ravages
among the young sparrows are prodi-
gious 1t has been observed that n spar
| row killing cat bags on IN average two
young birds u Gay. No amount of cor
rection seems TO prevent their indul.
gence in this form of sport. They know
it is wrong. but it is too fascinating.
One young cat of the writer's acquaint.
anca went into n fit after a mild beating
for killing young sparrovs, and rs soor
as he recovered went off to catch an.
other. A cat in the same house which
was surprised with two naked Destling'
in its mouth slipped them undarneath Q
mat on the stairs when it saw its mis-
tress approaching. Nature is too strons
for them. and the drawing room pussy
seems no more able TO resist the taste
for sport than the stable cat.-Londor

The rapidity with which n chicken is
