PROF. HADLEY,s TALK
Peculiar Views on international Law
and Prospects of Peace

New Haven, Conn.-Yale undergraduates
are ready to fight for their country II need
ed There is a military company of about
15O members of the senior classes of the
academic and scientific department drilled
by Lieut.. Arthur Murray Of the United
States army, who is detailed here to teach
military tactics. But Yale men hope there
will be no war. Their sentiments were
voiced by Prof. Arthur T. Hadley who lec-
tured on 1.-THE Relations Of the United
States to Spain" Prof. Hadley said:
.It is improbable that the Spaniards
blew The Maine up. On the evidence sub
mitted thus far we have no grounds to be-
lieve that the vessel was blown up. Inter-
national law will not allow us to recognize
the independence of Cuba. War with Spain
would be the result. All the nations would
be allied against u.s. Each nation should
mind Its own business. The Turks can
massacre Armenians as long as they don't
kill the missionaries. France can convict
Zola and other nations can look ON and
have no right to interfere Americans can
keep others out of hundreds Of millions Of
dollars and still be received In good So
lciety. II Spain should withdraw al her

TROLLEY A LOSS TO THE BRIDGE
New Cars Have Caused Considerable
Falling Off in Receipts

The Brooklyn bridge officials figured out
yesterday, from an actual count of ordin-
ary bridge car passengers, that the rum
ming Of trolley cars over the structure
means falling off in the bridge receipts
of $1442 a day, or a loss of nearly 40 per
cent daily. the trolley lines taking away
considerable traffic from the ordinary
bridge railroad and only paying the city
cents toll for each car run over the bridge
The falling off in wagon traffic was over
80 per cent.
The figures were obtained by count Of
the persons and vehicles that passed over
the bridge during the twenty-four hours
ending at midnight of Tuesday. Twenty
six employees of the bridge were engaged
in making the count.
The last actual count made was in No.
vember last, when the trolley cars did not
cross the bridge. In one day at that time
144,509 passengers were carried over in the
ordinary cars. On Tuesday S1,520 were
counted.
Tuesdays receipts were $222S, against
$3.50 for the Tuesday previous to running
the trolley cars. The November vehicle
count was 1854, of which 4617 were from
Brooklyn. Tuesdays vehicle count was
4079 of which 2112 came from Brooklyn.
In the November account the roadway re-
ceipts footed up 1903, and on Tuesday only
$255.--New York Sun.

troops save those about Havana, we could
recognize the independence of Cuba as
long as order is maintained. This does not
exist. But the United States may say we
want our tobacco in Cuba, and that we
have an interest in order. We want no row
at our back doors. We can offer ameliora-
tion.
''If we offered amelioration Spain would
probably fight. Things may go on indefi-
nitely. War face to face is SOLDERING. Span
ish cruisers could come right up our sound
and the first point of attack would be Win
chester's. The first shot would be likely 10
strike Yale treasury. This is SOLDERING. But
the government may be forced to prepare
for war, owing to some sudden accident.
Deliberate war on the part of both govern
ments would be improbable. 1t is great
safeguard to the nation that Mckinley has
fought in war and that he knows what i,
means. Another safeguard is Spains
bankruptcy. If we all keep cool war may
be avertedP

ON 'cHANaE
Conditions as Shown by Transactions
on Wall Street

NEW YORK, March 21-The only fea-
ture discernible in today's market was Its
dullness. The dullness was the exact re-
Election, however. of the doubt and heslta-
ton which prevail in all financial circles
over the next probable development in the
Cuban question. Apparently there was a
count at the start, which resulted in sharp
declines to practically the low point of the
day. There were lower prices made in
some few stocks later in the aimless drift
ing of the market Business was, how
ever, almost stagnant after the opening
until near the close, when there was a
sharp rally in prices, apparently due to
the re-buying of stocks sold at the OPEN
ing. There was no spirit or animation in
the rally, and prices drifted downward
again at the close. There was only small
volume of stocks offering all day. The'de-
mand was almost nothing, and the result
Is that prices are lower all around, losses
reaching point in some of the leading
specialties
There is every indication of large out
standing short interest in the market, but
political outlook, their interest is very per-
sistent in declining to cover. 1t is the gem
eral belief that the early developments at
Washington will include the report of the
message on that and Cuba. This keeps
out of the market and, on the
other hand, the large short interest warns
the bears to proceed with caution. The
was Witnessed today. Such selling as there
