WILL YALE Be LEFT OUT?
PROBLEM BEFORE INTERCOLLE-
GIATE SCHEDULE COMMITTEE.
Harvard, Pennsylvania and Columbia
May Ask Cornell for Their Usual
BOat Race, in Which Event
Yale Might Suffer.

New York. New. 2.-Judging from the
present situation among the different uni
versities, some very important questions
will be brought up and decided before the
schedule of intercollegiate boat races for
1895 is completed. Now that there is a
possibility that Yale may invite Cornell to
row with her again, there is another Cis-
cussion going on as to what Cornell VIII!
do with the challenge. 1t will all depend
II the New Haven rowing authorities
send to Ithaca an offer to row, couched in
such anguage that Cornell would have to
alter her present implied understanding
Columbia. there is little doubt that the Of
fer will be fatty refused.
Then there is Harvard. Cornell had dur
lea league tas with TIL HsrSspd. The Il two SssiSa have roWed
and played baseball together. Harvard and
Cornell are very friendly, and 1t is ex-
evertures for a race in due season. And
just here comes. the p~erpleXing question.
If Columbia and Pennsylvania ask for
:keir usual race and Harvard. also, VIII
the Ithacans accept these two offers and
reply to Yale that they cannot undertake
contests?
city, the logical deduction from all this Is
simple and 1t explains the entire situation
up to date, viz: If anyone Is to De left
out. Yale is that one. In other words,
Yale has the third chance of securing a
contest with the Cornell champions. Cor
nell men say, however, that this must not
be taken to mean that Cornell would lot
row Yale, provided the blue saw nit to en-:
ter into a rowing engagement of several
years standing with her. If a i've years
agreement, for instance, were signed. Cor
nell would proceed to enlist a suftic1ent
train enough for all the races she might
be asked to row.

THE PASSING OF SIAM.
King ChuIaIOnRkorn's Country In BE-
ing Swallowed Up by
France.

From the New York Tribune
1t is quite safe to say that not for many
years has any monarch made a tour of Eu-
rope who has produced a more favorable
impression than Chulalongkorn of Siam!
His amiability of disposition. his kindly
manners, his shrewd but kindly wit, and
his wide and varied information have all
made him a welcome guest wherever he has
gone. In view of this it is disappointing
to have to record that his visit was an en-.
tire failure in respect to its prime object.
but such is %unhappily the fact. He visited
pathy in his behalf that might aid in pre-
serving his realm from spoliation. That
hope has not been realized. and he goes
ness that he is left to stand alone against
an overwhelming force which will present.
" swallow up the meager remnant Of his
Siam. She is now about to take the bulk
of what is left. while Great Britain may
credibly be expected to assume control of
all the remainder.
The French annexed. as will be remem-
bered, the whole east bank Of the Mekong,
and compelled the siamese to agree not to
of the west bank. Now they demand that
the unfortified zone shall be indefinitely ex-
tended at their pleasure; in brief. that ST.
am shall not construct any Notifications
anywhere without French permission. That
is a pretty hard condition to impose upon
a sovereign state. 1t destroys its sover-
eighty. and reduces it to the rank of a vas
sal. Nor is that all. The further demand
is made that French authority shall be par
amount wherever there are French pro-
teges. not alone Frenchmen. but any ma
tives who have embraced Christianity ac-
cording to the creeds of France. AS such
may be found scattered all over Siam. the
effect of this demand. if enforced, would
evidently be French sovereignty over the
whole country. Finally it is demanded that
the Siamese government shall take into its
employment in it's administrative offices a
large number of Frenchmen, so that the
kingdom will be governed as well as owned
by France,

LOWER RATES ON AGRICULTURAL

Class Rates on Books, Bicycles and
Galvanized Wire to Apply From

A supplement has been issued to the Colo

class rates instead Of the higher commod-
ity rates on agricultural implements from
Kansas City, 81. Louis and Chicago to
Colorado common points. While the COM
bination-of-locals basis is not preserved, the
protection under the new rates is sufficient
to enable Kansas City jobbers to odd their
trade on agricultural implements in the
Colorado market. On dry goods. books,
bicycles and galvanized wire, the low class
rates apply from the Missouri river. while
the previously announced commodity rates
are to be charged from the Mississippi riv-

My position is that St. Louis. Kansas
City and other interior cities cannot afford
to have the railroads lay down on the prop
osltlon OF meeting the rates made by the
water and rail lines to Colorado. Every
time there is a cut from New York to
Colorado via the Gulf ports we want a
matter how low the rates go. Otherwise.
when the final settlement of the Colorado

are likely to get the worst of it."
