AMERICAN ATHLETICS.
why the Youths of Fifty Years Ago Did
Not Take to outdoor Sports.

Not Take to Outdoor Sports.
Chauncey NJ. Depew, in o speech
made recently at the laying of the cor.
ncrstone of the new building of the
New York Athletic club, had this to
say Of modern athletics:
Fifty years ago athletic associations
were unknown in the United States.
"This organization is only 80 years
old and it is one of the earliest in the
country. Athletic exercise upon scien-
tifc basis and with social associations
originated in our colleges. Fifty years
ago man who was distinguished as "a
boxer, a wrestler, q runner, an oarsman
or q fine specimen of all around muscu-
lar development was regarded with dis
trust in business circles, was deemed un
reliable in the professions and suspected
Of an inability to grasp spiritual truths
in the churches.
81 think the reasons can be easily
found from the fact that the young rnEn
who entered the academies or the col
leges or came to the city to seek their
fortunes were from farms. From early
youth they had been accustomed to fol-
low the pillow from sunrise TO sunset, to
use the scythe and the rake, the spade
and the hoe, to sleep during the long
winter nights in rooms without fires
and to endure--no, not endure, but to
enjoy with keen zest and ever fresh vi
tality--hoth work and play. When they
left the old homestead, they had LAID up
store of muscle and Drawn, of health
and strength, which resisted the habits
of the student or the cares Of the bust
ness man.
cit is less than 80 years ago since the
first college rowing club was formed
1t is only little over DO years ago since
the first contest was had, and that be-
tween Yale and Harvard. Then came
baseball, football and now, as we saw
in the Yale team which went to Oxford,
and the Cambridge team which came
over to the United States, every form
Of athleticism fluids home and exercise
at our seats of learning.

Yale Grit.

"We don't like to get licked any
more than do the men from other col
leges, but an occasional thrashing does
us good, said Yale man recently
at stirs the boys up to unusual efforts,
helps arouse the college spirit. chokes
off college politics, that will crop up
occasionally in the selection of teams,
in spite of the college sentiment against
that sort of thing, and does us good gen
orally. One thing is certain for 1897.
There will be no laggards in the whole
outfit, and the man at Yale who can
row or play baseball or football will
have to play or else be subjected TO So
cial ostracism. Our fellows have gotten
bit too 'cocky, | reckon. The break
ing off Of our athletic relations with
Harvard has done world of hurt to
sports at Yale. With the renewal of
these there will come a revival of the
old time spirit to mop the earth with
Harvard. Incidentally we will be bet
ter able to take care of Princeton when
we have the old spirit of antagopism
stirred up. New York Times.

CAN CONGRESS RECOGNIZE THE
INDEPENDENCE OF CUBA?


A momcntCus constitutional
phase of the Cuban question has
arisen from the declaration of Mr..
Olncy, secretary of state, that
congress does not possess the
power to recognize the indepcnd
cncc of a foreign state.
The senate committee on foreign
relations. having decided to report
n JOINT resolution recognizing the
independence of Cuba, Secretary
Oluey says:
ut is perhaps my duty topoint
out that the resolution, if passed
toy the senate. can properly be ~.
gardcd only rs an expression Of
opinion by the eminent gentlemen
who vote for il in the senate, and
If pas cd by the house can only

of opinion by the eminent gentle
men who vote for it in the house
Of representatives.
"The power to recognize the
so-caled republic of Cuba as an
independent state rests exclusive
ly with the executive. A rcsoIu-
ton on the subject by the senate
or by the house, by both bodies
or by one. whether concurrent or
Joint, IS imperative rs legislation
and Is important only as advice
voluntarily rendered to the exec
utivc regarding the mInner in
which he shall exercise his consti-
tutional functions.
The operation and effect Of
the proposed resolution, therefore,
even if passed by both houses of
congress by Il two-thirds vote, are
perfectly plain. 1t may raise cX
! pcctations in some quarters which
can never be realized. 1t may
inhame popular passions, both III
this country and elsewhere, may
thus put in peril the lives and
property of American citizens
who are resident and travelling
abroad, and will certainly obstruct
and perhaps defeat the best efforts
of the government to af)rd such
citizens protection. Bat except
IN these ways and un,es5 the ad-
wee embodied in the resolution
shall lead the executive to revise
conclusions already reached and
officially declared, the resolution
will be without effect and will
leave unaltercd the attitude of this
government toward the two con
tending parties in Cuba"
The language Of the constitu-
ton apparently bearing on the
sub,,e Is:
"All legislative powers herein
granted shall be vested in II con
eroSs Of the United States, which
shall consist of a senate and house
of representatives. - Art. |,

Hp with less aruteness during the
first session of the present con
gress. The sentiments of both
houses resulted in the passage of
resolutions, concurrent in form,
stating that The United States
should accord belhgerent rights to
the Cubans and the president
should use his good Offices IN be
half of Cuba's independence. 1t
was then held that, in practice,
resolutions Of both houses, made
concurrent III form, had applied
to matters concerning which ex
ccutive approval or dlsapproval
was lmmatcrIal; IN effect on for
eIg8 relations, they amounted to
a mere expression Of opinion. 1t
was claimed that in matters of
law it has been the custom to en-
act Joint resolutions of both houses
subject to the constitutional pro
visions governing the passage Of
other bills The verbrl differ
cncc betW cen the concurrent and
JOINT form consists merely of the
insertion Of the phrase ''the other
branch of congress concurring"
after the enactlng clause III the
former, as, "Resolved by the sen
ate, the house of representatives,
concurring, that" etc.
President Cleveland ignored
the concurrent Cuban resolutions,
and the secretary of state now
contends that it is not within the
province Of congress to accord
recognition by either JOINT or con
current resolutions.
Senator Cushman X. Davis, of
Minnesota, is quoted in press
dispatches as the leading authority
on the law INVOLVED, in the senate,
and being a member of the com.
miltee on foreign relations, his ut
tcrances are taken as the commit.
tees reply to Secretary OIney.
Elo MAINTAINS that a similar case ot
wide difference on foreign policy
between the president and con
, gress has never been presented.
| He quotes Justice Story's com
mcntares on the constitution Ii
which the question is left open:

Several members of the Methodist
Episcopal Church at New Castle were
seen yesterday by a representative
OF the Gazette in regard 10 the
selection of tho Rev. L. p. Corkran HI

board stated that II was all over now
and they could not as Methodists, do
anything other than resign themselves
to their fate They had gained a
partial victory and we're compelled to
be satisfied as they could not further
remedy the matter.
Another member of the board stated
that they would make the best out of
it az they had received the second prize
and that was the very next best thing
and they had to be contented. He said
that Mr.. Corkran had an excellent
reputation as worker, both in a
financial and spiritual way and that
was what their late pastor was. He
