YALE'S SPORTY BOYS.
The Annual Top-SpinEinE and Hoop.
Roiling Season in Full Blast.

fhe Annual Top-SpinEinE and Hoop
HoiIing Season In Full Blast.
From the New York Times.
Every fine afternoon during the past
week the upper classmen of Yale Univer-
sity could be seen spinning tops on.the col
iese campus or on the corner in front of
Osborn Hall, the site of the old fence at
Yale. This diversion of the Yale students
is tradition that dates back many years,
and 1t is annually observed during the last
week in February AMI the first week or
two in March. The students do not appear
In public as top spinners until they have
perfected the trick. They practice in the
dormitory Railways, in the campus in
their own rooms, and in other out of the
way places on the university grounds until
they are able to make the top spin every
tlme tney throw It, 1t is no unusual sight
to see from twenty-five to fifty students,
big, strapping fellows, many of them Sc
piors, in front of Osborn Hall, with their
tops and strings for an hour or two at
time. They draw circle, and in that
circle place top of two that they peg
away at with the greatest hilarity.
At this time of the year also another
craze among the students is rolling hoop.
The public sees very little of this horse
play on the part of the Yale men, as it is
confined to the campus proper. To find
one of the students rolling hoop on the
streets adjacent to the college ground is
rolling generally lasts only during the first
two weeks of March, and scores of stu
dents can be seen pleasant afternoons tear
ing through the campus, chasing their
hoops like street urchins.
Another diversion in which some of the
Yale students indulge in Is playing marbles,
and with that OF rolling hoop and spinning
top there is much fun for the Yalensisn
these days on the campus. The sedate old
professors, who in their early days had as
much fun with their hoops and marbles
and tops as do the youthful generation
now under their guardianship. watch the
boys during these afternoons and thor
oughly enjoy the spectacle.
A few of the more venturesome Yale
boys two three years ago undertook to
introduce kite flying as an added amuse-
ment for March. 1t was great sport for
those who engaged in 1t, and 1t was
thought that 1t would soon become popu-
lar with the Yale boys, but somehow or
other this sort of amusement failed to be-
come popular, and the flying of kites has
been dropped from the list OF traditional
horse plays that can be charged to the
Yale men.

WHAT HAPPENED.
to Prove An Alibi Proved
Failure-Detailed His Movements
at the House.
lsnecial to The Herald.O

San francisco, March 29.-The attempt
of the defense to prove an alibi for Albert
Hof seems destined to END in dismal fail
ure, as no Witnesses have been produced
so far TO prove that he was not on GUer-
zero street at the time of the murder
When the proceedings reOpened TO-DAY
Hoff again took the stand and complained
bitterly of the ill-treatment accorded him
and Detective Seymour in particular. He
said Seymour cursed and swore at him
continually while questioning him at the
Office of the chief or police. Witness testi-
fed that upon his first visit to the Guer-
zero street house. at l o'clock on the
afternoon of December 10, Mrs. Clute
was not in. He then left, going to the
old residence and not finding htt- there.
he returned to the Guerrero street house
at 3:15.
Hon stated that upon his arrival Mrs.
appoint him, as she had engaged other
men TO do her carpet laying. Witness said.
never mind. as he was used TO disappoint-
ments. After detailing his movements in
the horse, HOff said he followed Mrs.
Clute into the next room for the purpose
of ascertaining whether it was suitable
for fixing Il mattress in. and finding it too
small. they passed out into the yard, go
ing through a room in which some men
were laying carpets. After conversation.
Mrs. Clute told witness that was all for
entrance. carrying his bag of tools on his
shoulder Hoff told in detail the route
he took after leaving Mrs. Clute's- The
rest of his testimony was merely a repeti-
ton of that given by the previous wit

RESOLUTION DECLARING WAR.
Offered By Marsh, Chairman of House
Committee On Militia.

Washington, March 29.-Representa-
tive Marsh of Illinois, chairman of the
house committee on the militia, today
introduced joint resolutions declaring
war between the government of Spain
and its dependencies and the United
States and her territories. 1t is as fol-
lows:
That war be and the same is hereby
declared to exist between the govern
ment of Spain and her dependencies and
the United States and her territories.
and that the president Of the United
States is hereby authorized to use the
whole land and naval force of the
United States, including the militia and
the naval militia thereof, to carry the
same into effect"
Representative Marsh stated that the
resolution introduced by him was the
exact language of the declaration of
war of 1872 issued by this country
against Great Britain. except that it
ident to issue letters of marque and re-
prisal. Mr.. Marsh said that while prior
TO the submission of the Maine report,
he had not believed it possible that the
Spanish government had anything TO do
with the Maine disaster, the report has
established conclusively that the Maine
was blown up by a submarine mine,
and that the mine could rot have been
placed there by private parties. 1t
could have been placed there, he said.
by no other power than that which
controls the island. He added that he
believed that a government that could
deliberately starve 100000 men, women
and children, is capable of just such an
act.

TO SETTLE THE ISSUE.
What the Presidents Secretary Says
Will Be Done This Week.

Chicago, March pa Washington
special to the News says:
There is only one chance in hun
dred that war will be averted."
Such was the remark this afternoon
of one of the most prominent members
of the cabinet. who has been conspicu-
Gus as a peace member"
Private Secretary to the President
Porter said this afternoon that the
president had determined to settle the
issue this week, and a message is looked
for tomorrow.
The president" said Mr. Porter, sis
tired OF the criticism of congress. He
will ask congress to do oneof two things.
Either take the question and settle it in
its own way, or leave the executive
free and untrammeled. The president
feels he cannot be blamed and criti-
cized.
Congress blames him for not acting
and INDUCES in war talk when he is
doing his best to avoid war. The talk
in congress inteTferes with negotiations
looking TO peace"
There IS scarcely a doubt that con-
gress, in its present temper, will declare
var. Ii is expected that tomorrow will
see the president unload upon congress
the entire situation, and. without max
ing a recommendation, leave the legis-
lative branch of the government to
work out the problem in its own way.

Spanish securities, so that any decline
resulting from war would fall largely
on French capitalists. While these
are important considerations, urging
France to avert hostilities, yet they are
not, of course, such as could be adj
Vanced as the actual grounds for a
tender of good offices. Such a move
would be prompted solely on sentiment
tai grounds, namely, on the friendship
of France for both parties engaged in
this controversy.
WHAT SHALL THEY DO?
Much interest is felt in the meeting
of the senate committee on foreign re-
lations. which is called for 1O:30 a. m.
tomorrow, to consider the various res
olutions introduced in the senate.
The only question of doubt is whether
the committee will take action at its
sitting tomorrow. In view of the rec
ords of the members on Cuban ques-
ton and their present attitude, there
is no uncertainty that their action will
be pronouncedly favorable to the Gu
bans. Members of the committee in
diVidually spoken with express the
opinion that the committee will report a,
resolution declaring foc fOrcible inter
vehtion. Such is the purport of all the
resolutions introduced today, and the
general feeling is that any less radical
action would be of no avail
Senator Gray Of Delaware is the only
member Of the committee who did not
vote for the recognition of belligerency
ard independence when the resolution
for this purpose We're formerly before
the committee, but the fact is recalled
by other committeeman that at a re-
cent meeting he expressed the opinion
that Intervention would be necessary.
On the other hand, Senator Morgan
appears to be disposed now to regard
the presidents wishes to the extent of
OPP osing precipitate action without
Ieful inquiry beforehand. If the COM
mittee does not reach a conclusion to-
morrow. it will be asked to delay until
something can be agreed upon.
