THREATEN TO BOYCOTT YALE.

New York, February 1.-THE Woman S
Christian Temperance Union has for
wardeded a petition to President limo
othy Dwight, of Yale University, asking
him to forbid the use of alcoholic liquors
in the university. The petition, which
contains an implied threat to boycott the
university unless Dwight complies with
its terms, is in part as follows;
We respectively petition:
First-That you will forbid students
under your charge to enter places where
alcoholic liquors are sold for beverage
use, to keep such liquors in their dormi-
tories or rooms or to have them fur
nished at their class or other spreads
and ban1uets.
Second-That you will use your great
influence to secure prohibition OF the
sale of intoxicants within the city OF
New Haven, the same as has been Sc
cured at Cambridge.
Until such action is taken by your
honored body, much as we honor Yale
University, we feel compelled to send
our sons and brothers to institutions
where these provisions for safety against
Intoxicating drinks have been adopted.

The Monitor, newspaper published at
Meaford, Ont, Canada, first discovered
this case two years ago, and published it
at length, which now seems, owing to the
cure of it, to be a miracle. The facts
were so remarkable that many people
doubted the truth of them. They said
sit is too remarkable; it cannot possibly
be true; the paper is mistaken, and the
man, although he may think himself
cured, will soon relapse into his former
condition." etc. etc. The accuracy of its
report called in question. the Monitor de-
termined to find out definitely whether
the facts were as stated and whether the
man would really stag cured. They ac-
cordingly kept close watch on the case

1t seams hardly likely that the Presi-
dent will insist upon disavowal by the
Spanish government of the sentiments
contained in De Lome's letter. The let
ter was not an official one, the Spanish
government knew nothing about it's con-
tents until it was published to the world
on this side Of the water, and it promptly
accepted De Lome's resignation. Under
these circumstances to ask it to formally
disavow would be superfuous at least,
and might give the impression that we
were seeking pretext for picking quar-
rel with Spain. No doubt the Cuban
Junta and the warriors of Congress
would like to have the Presient adopt
this course, for the same reason that they
would like to have the administration
recognize the beligerenoy of the Cuban
insurgents, namely, because it might help
along toward collision between the two
countries But the President has shown
of making her lose her temper and COM
nit some act that would give US pre-
text for interference in Cuba, which
seems to be the favorite course with Con-
gressmen who want to get into squabble
with Spain, and at the same time shirk
the responsibility. OF course the Presi-
dent is not blind to the situation and not
unmindful that conditions may arise that
will make it our duty to interfere to
stop the war in Cuba, but he does not
propose to help create those conditions by
stirri ng up the Spaniards either by threat
ening them or humiliating them. When the
conditions arise, if they do arise, we have
no doubt he will meet them, in an open
bold and honorable way, in way that
will command for US the respect of other
nations. But he will not sneak into fight
as good many of the lingo statesmen,
appear to want to do. He will not stick
pins into the Spaniards until they kick,
and then claim that they have been the
aggressors, which is the favorite plan OF
the Congressional warriors

really no trick about it. Anybody can
try il who has Lame Back and Weak
Kidneys, Malaria or nervous troubles.
We mean he can cure himself right away

opening his mouth sufficiently wide to
take solid food. The doctors called the
disease spinal sclerosis, and all said he
could not live.
For three years, he fingered in this
condition. Then by some friends he was
advised to take DR.. Williams Pink Pills
for Pale People. He took them and
there was slight change. The first
thing noted was tendency to sweat free
ly. This showed there was some life
left in his helpless body. Next came a
little feeling in his limbs. This extended,
followed by prickling sensations, until at
last the blood began to course freely,
naturally and vigorously through his
body and the helplessness gave way to
returning strength, the ability to walk
returned, and he vas restored to his old
time health.

that DR.. Williams Pink Pills are not
entitled to the careful consideration of
any suffering man, woman or child? Is
not the case in truth miracle of modern
medicine?
To make the evidence complete we

Canadian Mutual Life Association, being
the amount due him for total disability.
1t is unnecessary to add that this life
insurance association did not pay this
large amount of money to Mr.. Petch ex-
cept after. the most careful examination
of his condition by their medical experts.
They mast have regarded him as forever
incurable.

Wai-Hai-Wei, which Japan has de-
clared it's intention to. hold on to indef-
nibely, is a Chinese port directly opposite
Port Arthur. By treaty following the
war Japan was permitted to hold it as q
guaranty of the payment of the indem-
nifty, agreeing to give it up when the
money was paid. Now the report is
current that Japan has denided to hold
on to the port whether the indemnity is
paid or not. The story has not been
officially confirmed, but in all probability
it is true. 1t was not to be expected that
Japan would sit quietly by and see
European nations Selling Chin Sc terri

following their example. 1t was Japan
that made the seizure of.Chinese territory
possible. She killed the lion, and GER

Senator Murphy has been censured by
the New York Assembly for his vote in
favor of the Teller resolution, but it is a
censure he will not take to heart much,
as be will regard it as purely political.
It was indeed that as far as the vote
showed, but it is no doubt true, never
theless, that Murphy's course in voting
for the Teller resolution WAS as distaste-
full to the great majority of the better
class of Democrats of the Empire State as
to the Republicans. The vote at the last
two elections in that State showed that
there was very little sympathy there in
any party with the free silver and repudi-
alton ideas. Even the Tammany crowd,
which is generally ready to swallow any
thing that is labelled Democracy, could
not be brought to the support of this idea
with anything like unanimity.

ty. There was the intimation that the
commercial treaty which has been in pro-
cess of negotiation between the United
States and Spain was what is known in
current slang as a. big bluff, that it was
suggested by Spain for the purpose of
giving the impression that autonomy had
succeeded SO well and the pacidcation OF
Cuba was soinear at hand that the Span
ish government could now give the atten-
ton to making commercial arrangements
for the island. In the light of De Lone
exposure of the hollowness of this perform
ance his successor will have hard work to
continue negotiations. Certainly our
State Department will not go on until
itsgets positive assurances from the Span
ish government that the negotiations are
not for the purpose of deceiving thejpub-
lie as to the real situation in Cuba.
Very likely under the circumstances it
may refuse to have anything more to do
with the matter until the island is paci-
fed and Spanish authority is restored.
Certainly it would be Justified in taking
this course.
