YALE STUDENTS REVOLT. They Won't Have Their Playground Spoiled
 by Statue.

New Haven, Conn.,. June IA party of nearly 100 Yale seniors today defed the college authorities and tore down the staging erected to put in place the neW statue of the late President Woolsey. The faculty and corporation have voted to put the new statue in front of the Yale fence, near Durfee hall, virtually abol- ishing the place for general meeting and general frolic ground for seniors. Today time for an elaborate commencement dedica tion The seniors tore the staging down, hurled the boards together and burned them, shouting defiance at the faculty. There was no interference by from the class awaited on Dean Wright and informed him that if the statue Is put in place 1t will be damaged. There is much feeling on the matter at Yale

Standing.

Yesterdays defeat of Columbus by the Bluebirds and Mobiles losing to Mont gemery gives the locals fourth place in the standing column.
 It was feared for a time during the earlier part of the day that the weather would prevent a game in the afternoon, but about 2:30 o'clock the sun broke through the clouds and the game was an assured fact About 300 people went out to the park and they were we'll paid for going, as the game was interesting and full of ginger from beginning to finish.
 Fricken was in the box for the lScals and put up a great game. His delivery was all that could be asked, and he aided materially in winning the game by his cool headedness and steady work. He handled the stick successfully, getting a single and a two-bagger and making a successful bunt, advancing Gorton, who afterward scored. He struck out four men and only gave up one base on balls, also getting two assists. Only four hits were made off him.
 Daniels did the twirling for the visitors and had he gotten the support given Frieken the result of the game might have been different.
 Trainor opened the performance with a hit to third, which Carroll juggled and threw wild, allowing him to land safe at second. Fuller hit safe and stole second, he and Trainor scoring on Katz's long single Ryan hit to short, who made a double to second and first, cutting off the batter and Katz. Beecher flew out to right Pedrose, for the visitors, went out on a hot liner to third. Carroll hit to short and out at first. McFadden went out from third to first.
 Neither side did anything until the last half of the fourth inning, when the vis- itors tied the score. It was done thus Carroll flew out to left. McFadden sin gled and scored on Halls two-base hit The latter stole third OConnell famed, but Rappold dropped the ball and the batter made break for first. Rappold threw him out at first and Ryan fielded the ball quickly to the plate, from whence it was thrown to third and Hall was. caught on the line. Godar had his man dead easy at the plate by force toward home and quick throw to Rap bold, who failed to hold 1t on the runner, and he came in safe 1t was an ugly piece of work and came near resulting fa- tally for the locals, as 1t was difficult for them to land man during the next two innings.
 In the seventh Gorton got a nice single past second and went up on Fricken's successful sacrifice The plucky sprinter stole third, and when Trainor went to first on a hit to short and tumble at first he stole the rubber, amid long and loud applause from the spectators. Trainor stole second and came in on Katz's double, Fuller striking out in the mean time. Ryan hit to short and out at first. This gave the locals lead of two runs, The visitors failed to get man as far as third after the fourth inning.
 In the ninth the locals got in another run Fricken hit to first and out to the pitcher. Trainor lined out two-bagger to left Fuller went out from second to first. Katz made triple to the right field fence, scoring Trainor. Ryan flew cut to short.

THE sOUTH's RECORD.
Industrial Progress Last Week Maintained
 the Activity of the Year.

Baltimore, June 1.-The industrial pro- gress of the south during the last week, as shown by the reports of the Manu- facturers' Record, has been continued with the activity that has been prevailing for the last year. While there has been a decrease in the number of new indus tries announced, the character of these is such as assists in the upbuilding and permanent prosperity of this section, es- pecially in the establishment of plants for manufacturing for the market the souths great staple.
 The cotton mills reported for the week ending June 5, for instance, will require the investment of capital to the extent of about $900000
 Some of the more important announce ments of the week follow:
 The Warren Manufacturing company of Graniteville, S. C., has about complet- ed arrangements for erecting $20,000 spindle mill; the Knoxville Woolen mills of Knoxville, Tenn, have placed orders for 5000 spindles for addition now build ing; the Eagle and Pheenix Manufactur- ing company of Columbus, Ga., has de- c.ded to erect $150,000 woolen mill; How ard Cole of Shreveport, La, has made a deal for the erection of a 10000 spindle mill; Atlanta parties will build 5000 spindle mill at Litha Springs, Ga.; $10,- VUU knlttlUB Hllll cOI1pdny IS IOTTllnB at Florence, s. C.. the Efird Manufacturing company of Albermarle, N. C., has organ ized to erect mill of $75,000 capital stock.
 Other enterprises in varied manufactur- ing lines were:
 In Alabama, company has been form ed at Montgomery to introduce new dry kiln; in Florida, the Havana Cigar and Cigarette company of Tallahassee, with capital of $10,000; in Georgia, the new Georgia Car and Manufacturing compa- ny of Savannah, fully organized, will at Rome, cotton tie producer, to resume operations; in Louis iana, Buchet Brush company of New Orleans, capital stock $7000, incorporated to manufacture; in Shreve- port, arrangements completed for estab- lshment of foundry plant by Texas foun- dry men; in Mississippi, $25,000 cotton seed oil mill contracted for at Clarksville; in North Carolina, Gastonia Tanning company will build new plant at Cas- tonia; in South Carolina, city of Laurens voted $50,000 in bonds for water and elec- tric lights; Plumber Elevator company of Columbia, organized with capital of $100,000, to make elevators, etc.: Sumter Cotton Seed Oil company of Sumter will let contract for 30000 spindle mill to cost $18000; in Tennessee, at Sherwood, the Gager Lime works to double its plant, making the production over 100000 bar rels daily; in Texas, the Southern Trans portation company of Houston, capital ter & Hafner Jewelry company of Hills boro capital $20,000; Ragley Lumber com pany of Winnsboro, capital $50.000. both incorporated in Virginia; Atlantic Water Front company of Norfolk, capital $40.

the part of the minority, protested against that part of the committees re- port instructing the whole delegation to vote for free silver.
 Senator Daniel replying, maintained with great earnestness that the conven- tion had the right to adopt this course. He insisted that there was no justice in the whole delegation and state of Vir- ginia being held down by the coat tails of the two delegates from the Second district.
 gates, as was expected, provoked more earnest discussion than any other feature of the convention. The proposition was finally separated and so voted upon. It was adopted by a vote of 1070 to 542. The gold men of the Second district, whom 1t particularly affected, made a strenuous effort to defeat these Instructions.

initial inning. Pedorse sent a red-hot liner toward third, and it was like drop ping a bucket in a well.
 Fricken was second on the batting list yesterday for the locals, with a single and double. Hall of the visitors tied him.
 Mcfarland seems to be very distaste- full to the quondam champs. The sport ing editor of Granny is kicking over his work and crying "Help!'
 Ed Daniels is strong prototype of Smiling Pete, his brother, and bids fair to outclass him as twirler. He Is an in- defatigable worker in the box and is al- ways on the move.
 With good weather today and Sparks in the box it Is safe to predict another victory for the locals. The college pitch er as some choose to call him, has speed to spare and is hard to find.
 Joe Broderick a quondam Birming- ham player, is with the visitors. He was given a great ovation as he stepped to the rubber in the second inning and on the strength of it gracefully famed out
 Katz led the batting list yesterday with a single, double and triple. He got four put-outs, one of which was a dangerous catch right up against the fence and almost under the end of the bleachers.
 Umpire Keefe made his first appear ance on the local diamond yesterday and was a marked improvement over any seen here. He was slightly off color po7 balls and strikes, but his base decisions were very good.
 Little Beecher is fast coming into fa- vor. He is like a fiddler's elbow-here, there and everywhere. When he makes an error its more than apt to be eX- cusable, as he goes after every ball com- ing his way, and seldom loses one.
 Yesterdays game was the proper stuff. Fricken was strictly in it, and not until the fourth inning did the visitors find him for hit. The team gave him excel lent support, and it was easy money to those who had wagers on the game.
 Manager Cushman of the Columbus team informed the State Herald's sport ing editor yesterday that he has mate rially strengthened his team by signing four good men. P. Bolan, who caught for Memphis in '93-4, is one of them. Jack Hess of Macon's '93 team will also catch and act as general utility. He will ar rive today. T. O'Connell, who played in left yesterday is another. He was last year with the Chicago city league and has strong recommendations from King Anson. James Falk, who played in Lou isvilles outfield early this season, will also meet the club here. There will be some beheading among the Columbus players within the week.

The Roxing Contest Ia off.

New York; June 4.-The Eureka Athlet- ic club has decided to withdraw restraining Sheriff Dohl from in terfering with the boxing contest which was to have been held at the club tomorrow night. They do this because Sheriff Dohl has issued a declaration in which he states that he will prevent the contest despite any action that the club may take, even if he has to call upon the state militia to enforce his authority.

At Atlanta.

Atlanta, June 4.-Norton was in great form this afternoon, and kept the hard hitters wearing the New Orleans uni- forms guessing hard. Not one of them had chance to fatten his batting aver age, and only three could meet the ball, safely during the nine innings, Houston and York getting singles, while Bonding managed 10 pound out a double. But for Gondings double in the second New Orleans would have been shut out. The Atlantas were right in the game from the start. Every man played quick, snap py game, and only one error was made, and that by Callahan. Every man was and that by Callahan. Score:

The Sultan Is Scared.

Constantinople, June 1.-The outbreak in the island of Crete has had the effect of increasing the rigor of the policy pur- sued by the palace authorities against suspects here. AS a result of this activi- ty 1500 arrests have been made. Most of those arrested are Moslems and include 173 students at the military college, who are suspected of being in sympathy with the young Turk movement Besides these arrests many officials have been de- ported to distant provinces and some have been secretly put to death.

Montgomery, June 4.-Montgomery took short step up the ladder this even- ing by taking the first game from Mobile. The game was we'll played, but rather slow. Both pitchers were batted freely but were well supported. McFarland's umpiring all this week has been simply dreadful, and that is putting it very mildly. Score:
