FUNSTON AND CRAWFORD.
The ColoneI's Old Rival May Be As
signed to His Brigade

WASHINGTON, May 1-''COl. Fred Fun
ston, of the Twentieth Kansas volun-
teers, who is making such a record as
a fighter in the Philippine campaign,
will never get over his disappointment
at not going to West Point about four
teen years ago" said one of Funston'S
classmates at the Kansas State uni
versity after reading the dispatches
from Manila
Funston" he continued, is native
of Ohio, and, although one of the small
est men in the university, he was one
of the pluckiest. Before going to the
university. from which. by the way. he
was not graduated, owing to his being
dull in studies he tried the examination
for a West Point cadetship- If renem-
ber rightly, this was about fourteen or
fifteen years ago. when Funston was a
mere stripping. and when his father was
a congressman from a Kansas district
''Fred's father had at his disposal,
subject TO competitive examination
cadetship, and Fred, after hlung mis-
mind with United States history and
practicing at craftsmanship and sword
exercise for months. went into the ex-
animation, which was held, 1 think at
Paola- Fred was confident That's the
way he is built, by the way. notwith-
standing that he is small and he
thought that the cadetShip was sure
thing His father thought so, too, and
no doubt helped Fred along as much as
possible In the examination were half
a dozen farmers sons. among them a
fellow named Charles Crawford. This
Crawford knew a thing or two himself,
and had a much better all-round store
of knowledge than Funston possessed
When the papers were examined Craw-
ford was found to be the winner by a
handsome margin, with Fred a poor
second The disappointment nearly
broke Funston's heart, and he was as
savage as a bulldog for months after
ward Fred was named as the alter
nate, and he had a gleam of hope that
Crawford would be killed in a cyclone,
or get struck by lightning. or get Grip
pied in railroad smashup, and that as
alternate he would go TO West Point
after all But Crawford was an un-
usually healthy fellow. and went to the
military academy, where he was grad
uated well up in his class He accepted
a Heutenancy in the army. and in the
Santiago campaign was brevetted cap
tain for gallant conduct under fire. He
is now a lieutenant in the Twenty-first
infantry, and he left San Francisco for
Manila three weeks ago with his regi-
ment.
Now Funston is a colonel. with the
prospect of speedily becoming a briga-
der general. and it possible that Craw-
ford. who will arrive in Manila as a
lieutenant, will have his regiment as
signed to F'uustOn's brigade That
might not please Crawford. but no doubt
it would take away some of the sting
of fifteen years ago, when Crawford's
superior ability wrecked one of Fun
ston's most fondIy cherished hopes -

QUAY AND PLATT
Make a Deal on Speaker and the
Pennsylvania Senatorship-

Washington. May Quay and Platt
have formed a combination to put Sher-
man in the speakers chair. Eighteen
of the twenty-seven Pennsylvania mem
bers have agreed to put their votes at
Quay's disposal, and he has passed the
word to settle on Sherman against any
western man, but to make combinations
to retain Mcdowell in the cIerkship.
forcing the west to be content with
the doorkeeper, ergeant-at-arms. post
master and chaplain Even Mcdowell
may be sacrificed, however. to seat
Sherman
The reason for the trade is the Sc
curing of Platt's influence to seat Quay
ON Governor Stones certificate. PIatt
expects to deliver the eastern senatorial
vote solid to Quay in return for the
support of the Pennsylvania dictator to
Sherman. Administration men have
taken alarm at this powerful eomUna-
ton of the two big eastern bosses. which
is believed to contemplate the seating
of Quay in the senate. the election OF
Sherman as speaker, and, subsequently.
the placing of Reed in training for 1900
as a candidate against Mckinley.
This last may be only threat but
it is admitted that the condition OF
Quay's support for Sherman is to be
the delivery by PIatt Of enough sena-
toriaI votes to put Quay safely in his
seat for six years more-Or at least un-
til the next legislature is chosen. which
ne will take care to see is favorable to
him.

Several graduates have ventured the
opinion within the last few weeks that
there is a pressing need here at Yale
for some common meeting ground for
undergraduates other than the fence.
Some have even gone SO far as to as
sert that as the classes have continued
to increase in size the democratic influ-
ence of the fence on the life of the stu
dents has failed to keep a corresponding
pace. With this latter assertion we
cannot bring ourselves to agree. 1t is
no doubt true that the steady growth
of the college has rendered impossible
that intimacy of one man with all of his
classmates which was the pride and the
strength of the old Yale. But If the
graduate of that period were able 10
mingle for any length of time with the
undergraduates of to-day 1t is almost
certain that he would find among them
that same wholesome spirit of democ-
racy which existed then-not so openly
manifest, perhaps, but Individually as
strong.
With the first of these opinions quoted
above, however-that Yale undergradu-
ates need some other rendezvous than
the fence--we are In hearty sympathy
1t is not possible to use the fence to any
extent for more than third of the
year; and during the other two-thrds
the classes are left without common
rallying place in season of the year
when there Is no football or baseball
games to bring them together The
ideal scheme, as has been suggested is
to erect club, modelled on the Houston
Hall at the University Of Pennsylvania,
with dues low enough to admit Of every
mans belonging. There has been some
talk Of the University clubs finally be-
coming more Of this sort Of an institu-
ton. But we are inclined to be lieve
that the University club occupies an inn
portant sphere of its own and that it
would be many years before it could be
brought to fill all the requirements of
this general club. We sincerely believe
that such an organization would repay
