INTERCOLLEGIATE ATHLETES.
Yale System Needs Thorough Over
haulfng-Publi Intaresf.

NEW HAVEN, Conn, Feb. Is, 1s97.-A
thorough oyerhauling of Yale athletes is
shown to be imperative by the failure
of the university to arrive at satisfac-
tory peace footing with Harvard without
pense. The public, universally interested
in the progress of the negotiations, be-
came first anxious as the deal hung fire,
and then as month after month passed
away grew disgusted. The public have
ciamored to know upon whom the re-
sponsibility for keep Yale and Harvard
apart month after month, when it was
palpable that every undergraduate, every
alumnus of both universities and the en-
tire sport-loving public were all eager to
see a reunion.
1t is, impossible to fix the responsible
ity and hence the demand for a change
in the management in Yale's athletic
methods. A history of the attempts Of
Walter Camp to bring the two universe
ties together shows how irresponsible Is
the method of conducting athletic mat
ters at Yale.
Mr.. Camp made no secret of his wish
to bring the two colleges together. He
gave up all last summer to personally
canvassing the different Harvard Lead
Lerr1n h. Deland, and In November he
had brought it about that William A.
Brooks, representing Harvard, should be
given power to sign for the Crimson.
Mr.. Camp then suddenly found that he
had not been given absolute power by
Yale, and the managers OF the Yale
meeting and the students voted the mana
deal they saw fit with Harvard. They,
however, did not give Mr.. Camp any
power. and while he and the athletic
shape the Harvard athletic COMMITTEES
suddenly saw something 1t did not like
and the offer vanished.
Then Manager Garrison of the Yale Foot
ball Association went to Cambridge to try
to close a deal. After he had arrived IN
Boston, Bob Cook, representing the Yale
Alumni of New York, and himself Yale'S
crew coacher, telephoned Garrison not to
agree to enter any crew in race in
which Cornell competed.
Harvard would agree to nothing of the
sort, and Mr.. Garrison returned from
fruitless mission. Mr.. Cook was, however.
justified, for he represented the wish OF
the New York Alumni, who at the time
were almost unit against entering the
lettcs, without any central head, was al
fault.
Since that time, Mr.. Camp and the
Yale athletic managers have been work
make g last effort. It was like begin
ming all over again, but finally the New
York alumni were persuaded that it was
best after all for Yale to enter the Cor
around with Harvard. and finally the un-
dergraduate managers went to Mr.. Camp
and urged him to take up the negotia-
tons again; He was given full power
He met Mr.. Mr.. Brooks, and the greas
treaty or peace was signed last night.

QUEEN LII Is MOVING TODAY.
Runners of q Threatened Assla sslna-
ton GroundIess

WASHINGTON, Feb. Is, 1s97.-Ex-
Queen Liliuokalani, of Hawaii, and her
suite, who have been occupying apart
ments at the Shoreham Hotel, are re-
moving today to the Cairo, one Of the
handsome apartment houses in the north
western portion of the city. There have
been rumors Of threats of assassination
OF the ex-Queen, but the removal, has no
connection with these stories. The occa-
sion for the change is the fact that all
have been engaged in advance from the
26th instant, on account Of the coming
Inauguration of Major Mckinley as Pres.
1dent, and 1t was therefore necessary that
new quarters be secured.
Mr. Palmer, the Chamberlain, or Secre-
tary, Of Mrs. Deminis, called at the
White House on Saturday, where he, saw
contemplated removal to the Cairo, but
did not ask for protection for the Queen.

MAYNARD MRS. STHlNKB
Going to Anarehistie Meetings
Results in a Divorce
Suit.

II Mrs. Mathilde Steinke, fascinating
young woman living at No. 125 Madison
street, Hoboken, had stayed at home
night and left Anarchists and their wick
ed ways alone she wouldn't now be the
defendant In suit for divorce brought
by her husband Hermann. The Steinkes
were married some years ago in Hoboken
and have lived in that giddy city ever
SINCE
One fine day, according to Mr.. Her
mann Steinke, man named August
Swenderiing came to stay with them.
Swenderling was wild-eyed, long haired
red-hot Anarchist with an uncomfortable
hatred for law and order and an un-
quenchable thirst for beer. He gloried in
bombs and dynamite and regarded Louise
Michel and Holman as the grandest
beings ever known. Down in the back
parior of dingy, ill-smelling saloon on
River street, Hoboken, almost nightly
people of anarchistic and sociahstic pro-
clivities assembled, talked of smashing
everything and everybody, smoked foul
pipes and quaffed stale beer
Into this den, when Mr.. Steincke was
in New York attending to his duties as
an engineer, Swenderling, the husband
says, took Mrs. Steinke and after par
taking once of the delights Of such fash
ionable society, she went there night after
night, neglected her children, her hus-
and and, as Steinke says, her marriage
vows.
After one of those meetings she would
come home" complained Steinke, full
OF beer and anarchism and that sort OF
n ryhn to -1,a

of indignity.''
Then after awhile the distracted Steinke
discovered that his spouse was a great
deal too often seen in the company of
William Gunther and a man named Slip,
her. but it was no use, and he filed a
bill for divorce, naming these men as CO.
respondents
This morning Senator w. D. Daily, coun-
sci for Mrs. Steinke asked Vice-Chancel-
lor Stevens for counsel fee and alimony
Steinke had filed an answer to her hus-
bands bill and therein had denied the
charges of misconduct with the men men
