HARVARD YALE DISPUTE.
Race, but the Colleges May
Meet in other Sports.

Cambridge, Mass, Jan. 25,-Harvard's
athletes just now are devoting more at
tention to the Haryard-Yale question than
to actual practice in their respective
branches of sport. In the absence of Of
flcial announcement of the progress of the
negotiations, arguments for and against
Enmes with Yale are heard on every side.
The general feeling, based on rumors and
ccn1ectures having a substantial backing
or fact. is that contests between the blue
and the crimson will have to wait another
year and that Harvard athletics for an
other season must proceed without the
stimulus given by the prospect of games
with the natural rival at New Haven.
This is practically the situation at pres
ent Harvard has her previously agreed
second race with Cornell, which must be
rowed without regard TO race with Yale.
The Cornell race will without much doubt
be rowed on July at Poughkeepsie. To
row Yale after this race would be palpably
uLwise, and any proposition to that end
Harvard was perfectly justified in refus-
ing.
The best Harvard could do was to prof
fer Yale June 10 as the latest day on which
she could row. Yale asserts that owing t1
faculty restrictions she could not possibly
row on that. day.
The majority of students. including the
most influential baseball and track men,
have decided that baseball and track games
nre desirable. even without boat race,
and that it would be no backing down on
HarVard'S part TO arrange these games,
lerVing the race until 1898. when the pres
ent difficulties for arranging the same shall
have all been removed.
An end Of the negotiations will be no
less a relief to Cambridge than they doubt
less will be to Yale. In a few days the
athletic committee will make an announce
ment of the negotiations this winter.

1T IS A VAST ARMY.
The Ones Who Are Marching Toward
Death and Do Not Realize 1t.


The official returns of the city of New
York snow that more than one-third of all
deaths are from consumption, pneumonia
or grip. When we stop to calmly think over
this fact it seems really awful. And yet
every case, without exception, started
from small beginnings. A cough in the
morning; tickling in the throat; a thick,
phlegmy discharge; chilliness at night; diff
ficuIt breathing; a tightness across the
chest; these and many more symptoms in
dicate the presence of that terrible disease
which, unless checked. means certain
death, with long, painful suffering.
In view of such serious and ever present
facts, the suggestions and advice of the
most eminent physicians are of the great
est value.
DR.. John Gardner. one of the most emf
nent physicians in London. says: Science.
common sense. Holy Scriptures. and all ex-
perience testify to the benefits derived
from the use of pure whiskey."
DIR. D. H. Barker says: II have used and
examined Duffy's pure malt whiskey, and
find it the best 1 ever tried"
These truths should serve as guide for
| all who feel the approach of consumption,
no matter by what path it may come. We
do not hesitate to assert that any man or
woman who will use Duffy's pure malt
whiSkey according to directions can defy
consumption and prolong life, with all its
blessings.

The Chicago Great Western threatens if
the 500 puts into effect its proposed cut
rates from Eastern points to st. Paul that
it will meet the rates, absorbing the entire
loss of revenue on its line between Chicago
and St. Paul The Maple Leaf is about as
much habituated to meeting cut rates as
seems probable that the 500 will withdraw
its rates without allowing them to become
effective, it is interesting to note that a
merry rate war will he on if it does not,
The protection of the territory south of ST.
Paul would be more likely with the Great
Western in the thick of the fight.

The Missouri Frog and Crossing works,

at 4:S0 yesterday morning. The loss is esti-
mated at So, 900. with $4,000 insurance.
No cause can be assigned for the origin
of the fire and no fire apparatus went from
Kansas City to eXtinguish it. The plant
belonged to John l. Blair, of Blairstown,

The destruction of the plant throws thir-

There are 200 saloons in Kansas City
that are now running without licenses.
This is one of the results of the police in
vestigation, which has required all the time
of Commissioners Fyke and Johnson. The
regular meeting of the police board. which
was to have been held last week to
grant these licenses, was postponed, pend
ing the adjournment of the legislative COM
mittee. All these SaloonkeeperS have ap-
piled for q renewal of their licenses, and,
having thus complied with the law so far
as they are able, are not liable to arrest,
says License Inspector Earhart.
Last year there We're $50 saloons running

number is about the same now. though

The Kansas City Terminal Improvement
Company. which proposes to build the new
union depot near the northern terRlini
of Oak and Locust streets. yesterday in
formed City Counselor McDougal that 1t
will furnish him the opinion of Judge
Francis NJ. Black and that of the law firm
of Karnes & Ess, to aid him in passing
upon the question of the city's right in
the Seventy-five acres of accretions on the
river front. between Grand and Troost
avenues. The questions to be settled are:
Can the city extend the sewers on Gillis
street, Holmes street and Grand avenue
SO they will discharge directly into the
Missouri river without condemning a right
of way through the accretions?
Does the public good demand the vaca-
fares ending on Front street, between
Grand and Troost avenues, which have not
yet been plated?
This inquiry necessitates going over some
old litigation which was conducted during
the later '40s. The matter has also been
up several times since then. The firm of
Karnes & Ess. since dissolved. passed upon
1t ten years ago and Judge Black investi-
gated the premises about five years ago
Since then, however. new complications
have arisen which necessitate going over
the entire ground again.
