Encouraging reports now come from
the Joint high commission that is try
ing to adjust the long standing differ
ences between the United States and
Canada. 1t appears that the Canadian
commissioners show a more accom-
modating and conciliatory spirit in
Washington than marked their beha-
vior in Quebec. and there is said to be
some prospect of an agreement and
even Of report that can be submitted
at the coming session Of congress.
Considering the high character of the
men who compose the commission, it
would be hard indeed if an adjustment
of the difficult fisheries problem could
not be devised, as well as a mutually
advantageous tariff reciprocity ar
rangement.

Gen. Young adds his testimony to
that Of Col. Roosevelt, to disprove the
assertion that the Rough Riders were
either surprised or ambushed at Las
Guasimas. The general had been or
dered to go into camp, and on inquiring
where the government camp was, he
had been told by Gen. Wheeler that
''the Spaniards had it," Whereupon
Gen. Young remarked that he would
like to get it for our own troops" Per-
mission being granted, he proceeded to
get it." The ground had been recon
noitered and the movement was exc
cuted as planned. The ambush story
came from a "demoralized reporter
and ''the demoralized adjutant of the
regiment, who afterwards left the
service, presumably for his health.
Some of the critical and skeptical war
correspondents should make note of
Gen. Young's explanation. They won't
fail to see that he thought the fare at
Camp Wikoff as luxurious as that at
the Waldorf-Astoria.

The New York World, following the
example of Thomas C. Platt, rushes
into the prediction business. Senator
Platt says confidently that in 1900 the
republicans will elect their candidate
on issues which arise as the logical out
growth of the war; The World, with less
directness, says: eff the democratic
party shall, as we believe it will, have
the sense to drop the dead and fatal
free silver issue and take boldly up the
living issues that are the logical out
growth of the war; it will elect the next
president" That is very big eff" The
democratic party has not shown a
great amount Of sense lately, and its
leaders are still attached to the dead
and fatal free silver ISSUE" 1t is signfi-
cant that the World is not satisfied
with calling the silver question dead,
but adds, with what seems unnecessary
emphasis, that it is also fatal.

PRESIDENT DWIGHT OF YALE.

PRESIDENT DWIGHT OF YALE.
The retirement of President Dwight
of Yale University not only imposes
upon the corporation the difficult task
of finding an efficient executive head,
but it raises the question whether the
college is to continue as an eoclesiasti-
cal institution. The president of Yale
has always been a Congrega-
tional minister. and it is as
serted that the act of incor-
poration imperatively demands that a
clergyman be selected for the office
Yet nothing is more certain than that
| the drift of modern feeling and prac-
tice is towards the abandonment of
this custom, and unless the provisions
of incorporation are beyond hope of
amendment, it is only a question Of
time when this change will be effected
1t should be remembered that it was
once deemed obligatory to select the
president of Harvard from among the
clergy, and that the custom was broken
there only about half a century ago.
1t may be said, moreover, that the
administration of Timothy Dwight has
itself marked a distinct departure from
Yale precedents. He is, indeed, a
Congregational minister, and a scholar
of high standing, but his clerical char
acter and accomplishments have been
quite overshadowed by his reputation
as a successful administrator. His
predecessor, Noah Porter, embodied in
his administration the time honored
idea that the president should be pre-
eminently the first teacher of the coll
lege; but under his conservative rule,
it was believed by many that the col
lege was not keeping pace with the
age, if indeed it were not actually re-
trograding.
Therefore, in 1886, when DIR. Porter
laid down the cares of office, efforts
were made to select as his successor
one who was an efficient administrator,
which the retiring president was not.
1t happens that under the direction of
Timothy Dwight, the college has broad
ened much both in educational and in
material affairs and in every respect
proved the wisdom of the liberal and
businessliSe modern policy
President Dwight's work has been a
quiet but vigorous revolution in the
college. 1t is the beginning of new
era, the extension of which will de-
volve upon his successor; and as ex-
ecutive capacity is nowadays as essen
tial as broad scholarship for the task,
it is obviously a handicap to restrict
the selection to a single class of pro-
fessional men. Clergymen are not in
frequently able financiers and execu-
tives, but there are also others.

THE FOUNTAIN QUESTION
Or. Berry Cannot Believe That Commit
tees Action viii Be Confirmed.
To the Editor of The Spy;

To the Editor of The Spy;
Sir-The printed report of my COM
munication by telephone last evening
contained a few verbal inaccuracies,
but expressed, nevertheless, my opinion
Of the action of the committee con-
corning the proposed memorial gift of
our British-American friends.
| must express my profound surprise
that such an action as that of the COM
mittee could be taken in the city of
Worcester and hesitate to believe that
1t will be confirmed. 1t does violence
to the American spirit of today, and
will in the future, be increasingly dis
approved of by the better public senti-
ment of the community. Some of the
gentlemen who voted for the defeat of
the measure will, I believe, ere long,
regret their action, and for the purpose
of calling forth, if possible, a minority
report, and of influencing the city coun-
Gil In its consideration, l respectfully
suggest that an expression of public
opinion be made, either by letters to the
daily press, or by public meeting, or
both, during the coming week.
Thanking you in advance for your
courtesy in publishing this note.

THE WORCESTER THEATRE.
The "Bowery Burlesquers' Disport on
the Stage Of Bernhard, jefferson and
Mansfield.

The Worcester Theatre temporarily
lapsed last evening from it's usual or
der of things, and presented an old
fashioned burlesque show-one of the
sort that used to be tabooed at a now
cremated playhouse. But, viewed from
the standpoint of modern burlesque.
the Bowery burlesquers are much su-
perior to most Of their rival organi-
zations> Their show is elaborately
costumed and we'll staged, and if the
lady performers would only abandon
the Bowery representations to their
gentlemen associates, the susceptible
ties of the audience would be less
harshly grated.
The performance opens with a va
riety olio, of which Miss Truly Shat
tuck, shapely woman with a better
voice than most vaudeville songstresses
boast, and Loney Haskell, a clever i'm
personator, are the stars. Then comes
the afterpiece, Summing" which

Yale is now added to the list of col
leges in search of a president. If one
may judge by the difficulty Brown,
Amherst and some of the others have
had in filling the presidential chair,
there is a dearth of good and available
material. The day has passed when
a college president might be chosen
merely because of his eminent scholar
ship. An expert executive of high
capacity for raising the wind" is now
essential.

The complaints caused by the misbe-
havior of colored troops in Cuba are
unpleasant reading but so also are
the complaints which come from Por-
to Rico, where the white soldiers have
been getting themselves disliked, but
where the American troops were at
first received with every demonstration
of friendliness. Abusing the natives is
not an suspicious way for inaugurating
American dominion in the Spanish col
onies, even though the people have
been long used to hard knocks.

The announcement that the Cuban
soldiers will receive a years pay on
December 10 is the more interesting
because it is coupled with the assertion
rowed on the guarantee of the United
States government. This sounds bet
ter than the announcement of a graf
uity, but there are some details lacking
to give the story the air or authenti-
city.

their due prominence. There are not
