lHERE is nothing slow about the

agreed to pay TO tho English government
$50, 600 damages for the execution of the
missionary trader, STOKES, by Major
LorHAIR, it has now presented claim
Tor exactly that amount for duty on the
ivory which belonged to the victim of the

One year ago. Mayor McGuINNEss, then

election won on certain shadowy ideas ha,
had teen advanced without much regard

first Of October last amounted to y13. 296,-

The Mayor at that time was very partic-
ular to state the amount OF the municipal
jndebtedress, since that the municjpsl
corporation was bankrup, was one of the
monstrous propositions that was advanced
in behalf of his candidacy, and SO ne was
naturally "strenuously opposed to any
more bonds and believed in paying as
you go.
Eut as matter OF fact the McGuinness
administration has not psid as II has gone
and 1t hiss incrsasei both the bonded and
the Heating debts. According to the city

They Like Mr.. Long.

Havana. Feb. 1.-THE Diario de la
Marina eulogizes Ex-Governor John D.
Long Of Massachusetts. who has been
named as secretary of the navy in the
cabinet of President Mckinley,
for the stand which he has taken in
favor of Spain in her war against the
Cuban insurgents and against inter
vention by the United States in the
Cuban troubles.
The mayor.of Havana has issued an
order that no persons shall be admit
ted to the cemeteries in and about the
city for the purpose of attending fun
erals. In accordance with this order
the mourners at all funerals are
stopped at the cemetery gates and only
the officiating clergyman and those
persons whose duties require their
presence at the grave are allowed to
enter. This action on the part of the
authorities is taken in order to prevent
the spread of contagious diseases. The
payment of allowances to pensioners
of the government has been suspended
for q few days

WINDOW GLASS.
Collapse of the Trust Now Control
ling 1t Is Predicted-Good News
to Consumers.

Chicago. Feb. 1.-THE Times-Herald
says: ''An open market for window
glass and the collapse of the trust con-
trolling it is predicted. a conference be-
tween the national executive committee
of the trust and the eastern importers
and jobbers has been called for next
Wednesday, at the Hotel Imperial in New
York and the fate of the combination
hinges on the result. # the mission of
the trust representatives is unsuccessful.
the window glass trade may see a col
lapse in prices similar to that which the
steel rail men have experienced, as values
are now 40 per cent higher than when the
combination took control of the markets.
IF the trust saves its organization, it
can only be by a lowering of prices to
the eastern trade. 1t is estimated that
there will be in the hands of the manu-
facturers and unsold March l. at least
100000 boxes of glass. AS the con-
sumptive demand since the factories were
put in blast has been practically nothing.
the jobbers are also as well supplied as
the immediate trade prospects warrant.
For these reasons dealers generally
are disregarding the notice of an advance
of 21s per cent and say that the trust
will do as well as it can reasonably ex-
pect = It maintains prices in view of
prevailing trade conditions. Foreign
manufacturers stand ready to supply
all wants at the announced advance and
this robs il of its terrorS with those who
are expecting an active spring trade

In the afternoon Mr.. and Mrs. Mckinley

Mckinley, who has been indisposed. has
recovered sufficiently to receive her in

MISSION OF THE RED CROSS
SOCIETY EXPLAINED.
Spanish Paper Eulogizes Long, Who
Has Been Named as Secretary of
the Navy-Cleveland's Idea of the
Proposed Reforms.

Washington, Feb. 1.-THE Washing
ton Times, referring to the contemplate
ed expedition of the Red Cross society,"
mentions the circumstance of a sum of
money received by the officials of that
society being returned to the sender
on account of the fact that its tender
was coupled with the injunction that
no portion of it should be used for the
relief Of Spaniards. Such a ccntribu-
tiOn is in no wise consistent with the
meanings and rules of the Red Cross
society, which in its administrations to
the suffering makes no distinction
whatever as TO any creed or national
ity, and donations rendered to the So
ciety coupled with requests that they
be only used in one direction can not
meet the philanthropic purposes of the
organization. II viii require $685. 900 to
start the society's expedition into
Cuba, and as it seems, but a small part
of that amount has yet been sub
scribed. AS early as possible, however,
despite all difficulties Of travel and
stress of other circumstances, the So
ciety will begin its new mission of sue
coring the distressed of whatever side
in the island of Cuba. 1t is probable
that from % to 80 of the staff of the
society can, owing to the nearness of
the locality. be sent to Cuba and sub
scriptions that az for relief can be sent
to them while on the field of duty

Cambridge. Mass. Feb. H.-Harvard
and Yale are again united. Alter a
wearisome period of secret negotia-
tions. the two universities have
reached a definite understanding, and
for five years at least the Crimson and
the Blue will contend on water, track
and field, just as they did in the good
old days before the breach was made
in the summer of 1895. The final agree
ment directly resulted from the visit
of Walter Camp of Yale to DR.. William
a. Brooks, Jr., of Harvard Saturday
evening. After several hours confer
ence- these two delegates of the ath-
letic interests of the two leading uni
versities. signed the following agree
ment:
1T is hereby agreed by and between
the Harvard athletic committee and
the Yale athletic management that
there shall be annual contests in row.
ing, football, baseball and track ath-
letics between the representative or
ganizations of Yale and Harvard, be-
ginning March. 1897, and ending March
l, 1902, the details of these contests to
be left to the managers and captains.
1T is also agreed that all contests
shall take place on college grounds and
with the exception of rowing races,
that the net gate receipts shall be
equally divided between the two con-
testing organizations.
This agreement is conditional upon
the appointment on or before April /,
1897. of a committee TO consist of one
graduate of each university, to whom:
shall be referred all disagreements in
any way relating TO athletics and all
questions of eligibility. The declara-
ton of this committee is TO be final.
In case of a disagreement between
the members of this committee it shall
have the power to call upon a third
person to settle the particular ques-
tion in dispute.
Exception to Clause loving to
Harvards present boating agree
ment, Yale is willing to make a third
party in the Harvard-Cornen race at
Poughkeepsie in 1897, if Harvard so
arranges.
yale is to be definitely informed of
the decision regarding and the date of
the race on or before March l, 1897.
IF the race for 1897 is arranged |
Yale is to have the privilege of naming |
either Poughkeepsie or New London |
for the race of 1898, the races of sue |
ceeding years to be governed by the |
main body of this agreement. If the |
race for 1897 is not arranged, that fail |
ure shall in no wise affect the general |
agreement. and the place for the race
of 1898 shall then be governed by the
terms of the general agreement"
The announcement of a five years
agreement with Yale has filled Har-
ward with joy Graduates and under
graduates at Harvard square are de-
lighted with so satisfactory an agree
ment. The captains of the baseball
teams are specially pleased
