for money to build the great alumni
hall at Yale, which President Dwight
wishes to make a conspicuous feature Of
the bi-centennial ceremonies in October,
1901, q large sum has been promised by
members of the funds committee in
New York and other cities. AT a meet
ing of the New York branch of the
committee last week more than $3.50, 600
was promised, but this does not nearly
represent the total amount that Yale
men here are expected to contribute
after the appeal for funds has been Is
sued. 1t is expected that this appeal
will be made by means of a circular
issued from New Haven within 10 days.
The Boston alumni raised $25, 900 last
week. 1t is not known precisely how
much money will be required for the
alumni building, but there will proba-
bly, be no difficulty in raising all that is
necessary to erect one Of the finest col
lege buildings in the world. The orig
inal plan outlined by President Dwight
would call for about half a million dol
lars, but 1t is more than likely that the
plan will be amplified to broaden the
project beyond anything dreamed of in
the original suggestion. The building
may cost $1,000, 900.

ALTGEtD's VOTE

Will BE the Deciding Factor In the Chi
cago Election.
Chicago, April 3-The vote to be polled
by John r. AltgeId In the mayoralty elee-
tion tomorrow is admitted by all parties
to be most undecided factor, and yet it
Is. the thing upon which all three candi-
dates-Harrison. dem, Carter, rep. and
Aitgeld. ind. dem.-are basing their hopes
of final success. The Altgeld men say
that their candidate, who is standing upon
the Chicago platform, will secure all the
straight silver democratic votes and will
certainly be elected. They allow him 14O.-
900 votes. In the headquarters of the
Harrison faction tonight there is the
greatest confidence They say that there
il not the slightest doubt of the mayors
reelection. They give him 10000 votes,
as against 100000 for Carter and 10000 for
Altgeld. The republican estimate is Car
ter, 10000; Harrison, 100000, and Altgeld
10000. They claim Altgeld will draw
enough votes from Harrison to elect Car
ter beyond a doubt. The republicans are
expecting trouble at the polls tomorrow
in several wards, particularly In the First
and Eighteenth. They say the democrats
have "colonized'' extensively; that they
know the 'tcolonists.'' and under no cir
cumstances will they be permitted to vote.
The democracy in the wards mentioned
deny any illegal work and say every dem
ocrat who comes to the polls shall cast
his vote.

WILLING TO CONCEDE.
Reductions May Be Made in Coal and
Lumber Tariffs.

LUMBER ldflHs.
Tacoma Wash. April 3.-Unted States
Senator Addison G. Foster, after spending
several weeks investigating in the East
and Middle West the attitude of the joint
high commission on the lumber and coal
tariffs and the Alaska boundary question
has returned to his home in this city. He
says:
II am of the opinion that the removal
of the duty on lumber is one of the most
important concessions sought by England
In fact. while the desired port of entry to
the northern gold fields is much in de-
mand among Canadians and Engiishmen
| rather incline to the opinion that salts
factory adjustment of the lumber and
coal schedules are equally. if not more So
in demand. On my way West I consulted
with various senators and congressman
on this subject and I find, all things con-
sdered, that our lumber people in all
parts of the United States are inclined to
yield a little in this matter, provided the
tariff on lumber, and coal also. if possible,
can be made a part of the treaty. In
that event it would be out of politics and
that would be much more satisfactory to
the lumbermen of the country. Lumber
ing is a great industry and we could not
for moment consider the proposition Of
the stumpage on timber is SO much lower
in Canada now that the Canadians can
about afford to pay the 81 per thousand
tariff and come out even.
Nevertheless, the lumbermen. as rule,
would willingly make reduction on the
tariff from 81 to SLIGO per thousand, pro-
vided that rate were made a part of the
treaty and thereby became permanent as
long as the treaty lasts

BOTH RESPONSIBLE.
Both Sailing and Steam Vessels Should
Slow Down in FOgs.


Washington, April 3.-The United
States supreme court to-day decided
the somewhat unexpected question Of
the liability OF sailing vessels for excess
sive speed In case of collision in foggy
weather. The case involved the col
lision of the American steamship Chat
tahoochee and the Canadian schooner
Golden Rule off Nantucket shoals in
1894. whereby the schooner was sunk
Both vessels were proceeding at top
speed in a fog when the accident oc-
Cured. q
The court below held that as the
Golden Rule, as well as the Chattahoo-
chez, had failed to slow down, it was
equally liable for the disaster, and
therefore held the owners of the steam
er responsible for one half the damage
done. Justice Brown rendered the opin-
ion of the supreme court affirming this
decision remarkingsth 1T is not per-
ceived, why the. considerations which
demand a slackening of speed on the
part Of the steamers are not equally
persuasive in the cases Of sailing ves-

Washington, April 3--Dr. Solf, the new
~ appointed president of the municipality
OF Samoa, arrived here to-day. He came
a. the request of the German ambassador,
Or. Won Holieben, to talk over Samoan
affairs and to be presented to Secretary
Hay.
Or. Solf came to the state department
during the afternoon, accompanied by the
German ambassador. and was presented
to Secretary Hay. The meeting was pure

secretary DR.. Sof was made acquainted
personally with the assistant secretaries
of state.
He speaks excellent English and it was
frankly confessed at the department that
he made a most agreeable impression. 1t
has been arranged that he shall stay in
Washington for few days, and in that
time he will have an opportunity to confer
with the state department officials rela-
tive to Samoan affairs. 1t is hoped that
misunderstanding may be avoided in the
future IL perfect comprehension is
reached in advance Of the exact ideas of
each party to the tripartite government.
and as he has already visited the British
authorities in London. the way appears
to be now cleared for such an under
standing
1t is said here that Admiral Kautz is
fully sustained by the navy department
in every measure that he has taken. 1t
Is explaine~. in administration circles that
the expression Of regret that hostile
collision had occurred was simply an ex-
preston of feeling that actually existed,
but it does not follow that it implies any
word Of condemnation of the admiral. as
the action was undoubtedly plain ne
cessity.
