DARTMOUTH ATHLETICS.
Is Thought Advisable to Abolish the Tri-
College Meet.

Hanover, N. H., Feb. 2.-Dartmouth's
athletic committee appointed by the adj
visory athletic committee of the college
met yesterday afternoon and planned
Dartmouth's future athletic policy as
follows:
First, it was decided to stop the pres
ent agitation about Dartmouth with
drawing from the tricollegiate league,
and they voted that Dartmouth should
hold her place in the league, at least in
foot ball and base ball. 1t was voted
to make an additional league in foot
ball for five years with Brown, and
finally the committee considered the adj
visibility of Withdrawing from the tri-
collegiate league as far as track and
field athletics were concerned and it
was decided to send to Amherst and
Williams and consult with them on that
point 1t is thought advisable here to
do away with the annual trieollege meet
on account Of the annual Worcester
meet of the New England intercollegiate
Athletic Association, in which Dart
mout Amherst and Williams all partic-
ipate.
The tri-college meet is a burdensome
expense, and is of no interest here. The
question of where it is to be held this
year is likely to cause trouble, 1t is
likely that the three colleges will agree
to drop this department of The league.

Il BODIES FOUND.
Reported to have Been Carried to
Bakers Island. Aa

Magnolia, Mass. Feb. 2,--There is
great interest manifested in the report
that the bodies of IL men had been
picked up just off shore and are now at
Bakers Island, about 3 miles from
here. An effort will be made tomorrow
to reach the island and have the bodies
taken to the mainland for identifica-
ton, and perhaps solve the mystery of
the Marcellus and the James Holmes,
two schooners of whose fate nothing is
known. Such a wholesale destruction
of craft has never been recorded on
Magnolia's rocky shores, notwithstand-
ms the historic tale that surrounds the
reef Of Norman's Woe, whiM lies but
a mile from the scene of tuesdays di-
sasters.
Four Of the six schooners which were
anchored in Freshwater cove, on Mon
day, and which were either blown
ashore or out to sea by the blizzard,
have been definitely located, but the
fate of the other two is still a mystery.
What remains of the George w. jew

are at Gloucester have not been identi-
fled as those of men who formed part
Of her crew The Clara Jane lies high
and dry on the Great Brewster, at the
entrance of Boston harbor. The crew
of the Clara Jane is safe.
The Charles H. Tricky is known to
have weathered the gale safely outside
the bay, and the same can be said Of
the Samuel Dillaway. The Albert H.
Harding, which was anchored not fan
from these six schooners, was also
among the missing, but today her entire
crew We're brought into Gloucester, hay
ing been rescued by fisherman which
had outlived the gale.

CLEARING THE WIRES.
Telegraphic Communication With Boston
Once More Established.

The first teIegraphic dispatch sent to
Boston from this city since midnight
Monday night went through Wednesday
afternoon over the wires of the Postal
Telegraphic Company at 230 O'clock
Up to that time it had been impossible
to send a message direct to Boston, ow-
ing to the damage done the wires by the
great storm The Western Union wires
are all right to New York via both the
Shore Line and Providence, and by way
of the Boston and Albany. The COM
pany is working two copper wires to
Boston, which are quadded, being equal
to eight single wires. Manager Dunn
expects to have 16 additional wires to-
day over the Boston and Albany from
New York to Boston Worcester win
then have it's own Boston wire. About
100 or more additional repair men will
reach Providence and the trouble on
the Boston and Albany and other points
been started from Syracuse, Pittsburg,
Philadelphia and Baltimore Wednesday.
AT midnight last night, all business
which had accumulated in this city had
been cleared up. The local office is now
being able to reach Boston by way Of
New York and has abandoned the train
service to Boston.
The Importance of Worcester during
the past two days has been great, as it
was the distributing point for all pri-
| vate and news messages from western
points to Boston and from Boston to all
western points. Messages for Boston
were received in this city and sent by
| train to Boston. The same means were
| used in getting Boston messages to
their destinations. The trains between
this city and Boston carried many mes
sages The crush of work in the West
ern Union office required extra help, and
several of the Boston operators besides
the substitutes in this city We're set at
work. The Spy office has been the dis
tributing point of all the Associated
Press reports Of New England, and will
! continue to be so until the wires be-
tween this city and Boston are fully
| repaired.
The troubles of the New England Tel
| ephone and Telegraph Company were
diminished but a little Wednesday. Few
of the breaks in its wires were repaired
1 and the local exchange was taxed to
I secure communication for Worcester
with the east. The means of commu-
I nication with Boston which was estab-
/ lished Tuesday was used yesterday and
/ in addition another circuit was made.
4 BY this, communication was made with
4 Boston through Greenfield The COM
pany has an augmented force of re-
/ pairers at work, and hopes to get the
4 service into its normal condition to-
/ day.

HARVARD UNIVERSITY.
President Eliot Recommends Comforting
Degrees Twice Yearly.

Degrees Twice Yearly.
Cambridge, Mass, Feb. 2-The annual
report of tine president of Harvard Uni
versity was issued to the board of over
seers this evening, The report consists
of a voluminous summary of the work
Of the several departments during the
year 1S97-1S98, with President Eliot's
comments upon them. which are vigor-
Gus and thoughtful. The president sug-
gests that reasons have appeared for
making it advisable to confer degrees
twice a year instead of once a year, as
at present. This would enable men who
have completed the requisite amount of
work by the mid-year to get credit for
it at once, and to spend the remainder
Of the year in private study, recreation
or travel or to obtain employment,
which would be less easily found during
the summer and autumn. Some new
light is thrown on the proposed alliance
of the Massachusetts, Institute of Tech
nology with Harvard University, by the
publication Of votes of the corporation
formally inviting the institute to a con-
ference on this subject.
No definite agreement, however, APP
pears to have been reached as yet
though Harvard has expressed its readl-
ness to make such notifications in its
technical departments as may be neces-
sary to bring about the alliance.
The report shows the great necessity
for an increased endowment for the BEN
eft of all departments, The law school
will have to be enlarged in the near fu-
ture, and the removal of the medical
school to a new location and the cree
ton of a hospital as an adjunct to it,
are suggested as of great necessity. In
general, the university may be said to
be as prosperous as could possibly be
hoped for under present circumstances,
the maintenance Of a higher standard of
scholarship having caused no decrease
in the attendance in the graduate de-
partments.

cANDLEMAs DAY WAS FAIR.
It the Old Saying is True More than Hall
the Winter is Gone Now.

Yesterday was Candlemas day, and in
addition to its religious observances in
the Catholic churches, it brought to
mind that old saying:
IF Candlemas day be bright and fair,
Half the winters gone and mair"
Wednesday was certainly bright and
fair, and after the big storm of Monday
night and Tuesday morning, it is more
than likely that old winters back is
broken, although some Of the weather
prophets say that there is a second edi-
ton of the blizzard coming in a few
days.
The day was observed with solemn
religious services in all the local Cath
olic churches, feature of the celebra-
ton being the blessing Of candles for
