NEW PRESIDENT AT YALE.
Professor Arthur T. Hadley Installed
as Chief Of the University.
Impressive Ceremonies Of Day Followed
at Night by . TorchlIEht Procss-
sion of tho Students.

NEW HAVEN, Conn. Especially Arthur
rwining Hadley, IL. D., was inaugurated
thirteenth President OF Yale University to
succeed Timothy Dwight. The ceremony
took place In Battell Chapel, the college
church, In the presence OF hundreds Of dis
tIngulshed men and women, prominent in
higher educational affairs In all sections OF
the country.
The inaugural ceremonies were simplein
themselves. They were conducted IN Eng
lish, the traditional Latin pronouncements
having been abandoned at DR.. HadleY'sre-
quest. The new president was honored
With the presence not only o. distinguished
Yale alumni and Federal and state officials,
but by the attendance OF thu presidents OF
Harvard. Princeton, Columbia, Cornell,
Chicago. Brown, Oberlin and host OF
other universities and colleges.
Battell Chapel was filed to the doors.
The audience room presented an animated
appearance, for all OF those there In official
capacities as representatives OF other in
situations wore the academic gowns and
hoods OF their respective institutions. DR..
Hadley, himself, wore the crimson hood OF
Harvard, typical OF the degree Of Doctor
Of Laws, with which Yale's older sister had
honored him.
After the professional aud overture the
retiring president, DR.. Timothy Dwight,
made the opening prayer. The Rev. DR..
Joseph q. Twichell, ofHartford, the senior
member OF the Yale corporation, formally
inducted DR.. Hadley into office and admin
lstersd to him the oath. President Hadley
then delivered his inaugural address.
The singing OF the commencement ode
followed the address OF the new presid mt,
and then Professor GeorgeP P. Fisher, dean
OF the Yale Theological School, and senior
dean OF the university, on behalf OF the
faculty graduates and undergraduates; de-
llvered an address Of welcome. The bene-
diction was pronounced by'former Presi-
dent Dwight, and the inaugural ceremony
proper was at an end.
Three thousand Yale undergraduates
and recent graduates united at night In the
demonstration In honor OF the Inaugural
tiop. The hit OF the procession WAS the
train OF cars OF the "Hadl.y Transporta-
tion Company" the tableau being sur
prise all along the line Of march. 1t con-
sisted OF locom otive and three cars, each
sixteen feet long and seven feet high,
lighted from Within with lanterns. The
locomotive moved on wheels and was fitted
with boiler, which emitted steam at every
stop, and continuously rang DANGEROUS
bell as a warning OF It's approach.
. With the cars were twenty. seniors, carry.
Ing regulation railroad lanterns, and
dressed In the garb OF brakemen. The
procession was reviewed ut the>City Hall
by the Mayor and the Court OF Common
Council.
The celebration terminated with huge

Dispatches confirm the capture by the,
Beers Of Newcastle and number OF minor
points on the Natal border.
: The coast towns are crowded with refu.
gees from the Rand. The authorities ara
making every effort to relieve the distress
that is prevalent among them. Some OF
these refugees were compelled to leave the
Transvaal with nothing but the clothes
they wore.

city few days ago has arrived here. he
saws that four thousand British subjects
remain In johannesburg, The Boer Gov
ernment has made excellent arrangements
for safeguarding property there. A strong
force Of special police, chiefly Germans
and Frenchmen, armed With revolyers,
patrol the streets.
The Boers seized the telephone at Mod.
der River and attempted to speak with Kim.
berley, hoping to learn the disposition OF
the British forces. The manoeuvre Was
discovered and frustrated. stii
According to advices received here tue
British have blown up the Hopetown bridge
over the Orange River, with View Of
checking the Boer advance southwark.
Later advlces say that the bridge which
has been blown up by the British Is not tne-
railway structure, but one twelve miess
west OF the railway, over whicn the oio
coaching road passes.

agent In Eburn, Is both dramatic and SEN
sational. James, the operator, sitting IN his
little room in tower "W," was startled near
midnight by the advent OF party OF masked
men, who, with drawn revolyers,
commanded him 10 throw the semaphore
80 that the fast mail would be stopped py
the danger signal. The leader OF the band,
eyidentiy a railroad man, finding James
slow, fixed the signals himself, while the
operator was bound and gagged and his
instruments were destroyed with ham
mer.
Daniel White, the engine driver, stopped
the train upon seeing the danger signal
set. Frank Keefe, the conductor, dropping
from the first sleeping car, found three re-
yolvers thrust in his face. One OF the rob-
bers entered the cab and covered the en-
glne driver and fireman, while lith high
waym An drew q revolver upon James Nc
Graw, brakeman.
Three men entered the American Express
Company's car and overcame F. A. Hopson,
the manager, and his assistant, who shovel
fight at first. They ordered Hopson to un.
lock the safe, and when he refused two OF
the robbers left the car and soon returned
with lot OF dynamite, which they placed
on the safe and exploded.
After they had stuffed their pockets with
jewelry and currency they climbed aboard
seated himself In the cab like trained
railroad man, and handled the machinery
as II familiar with It. The engine was de-
tached from the train, and when the high
waymen we're aboard 1t started west, the
robbers shouting back mocktng messages
to the trainmen. Two miles east OF the
Cortland Station the robbers abandoned
the engine and left 1t standing In perfect
order.
Railroad officials believe the robbers In
tercepted the wrong train. The one which
followed the fast mall halt an hour later
usually carries a great deal more money
than the one held up. II the robbers had
waited they could have secured 100000
instead OF $50 600.

The Shamrock was disabled less than
half an hour after the start Tuesday in the
sscond race with the Columbia for the
Americas Cup. The challenger's topmast
broke and her club-topsail came down
with rush. She was obliged to return to
her anchorage. No one was hurt.
The Columbia, meanwhile, after ascer-
taining tnat no aid was needed by the
shamrock, continued on her course. This
was in pursuance OF the understanding en-
tered into before the races began, that
each yacht should stand by 5er accidents.
She made good time and finished away
within the time limit, thus winning the
second race.
Although the Columbia, according to the
explicit provisions insisted upon by Sir
Thomas Upton himself, went ahead and by
sailing the course easily within the specified
time became legally and morally entitled
to the race, this additional instance OF the
fatality that has pursued the yachts from
the first day OF their meeting was every
whit as bad blow to the followers OF the
Columbia as to those of the Shamrock.
When the topmast OF the Shamrock came
toppling down, leaving her wreck aloft,
there was not a single word or sign OF
eXultation from the thousands who were
ready to shout with glee ut the least ad-
vantage the American sloop might gain.
