It appears that some of the speech makers at the dinner given by the re- publican club of New York to Chaun- cey M. Depew came near to making odious comparisons in their compli- ments to the senator-eNct. Thus Col onel Charles F. Homer said, we have had enough of silent senator's and ex-Mayor Strong said: At last We have United States senator who will proftably, intelligently and ably rep resent the state of New York" These remarks and others were made without apparent intention, but Senator Platt is not represented as having loudly applauded them.

MIR. HI1'CHCOCK's VIEWS.
Our Former Ambassador to St. Peters 7, burg Warmly Praises the Czar.

London, Feb. 12.-The Hon. Ethan Allen Hitchcock, formerly United States ambassador to Russia, is on his way to Washington He sailed fer New York on board the steamer Teu- tonic Wednesday, He returns to be- come secretary Of the interior in Presi- dent McKinley's cabinet.
 MT Hitchcock left. St. Petersburg last Tuesday, On January 2S he had Q long farewell interview with the czar and czarina, upon which occasion the ear expressed the Warmest admiration fer the American people and discussed the political, social and commercial re- lations of the two countries. MT. Hitchcock says he considers the czar enc Of the ablest of rulers and a man not given to parading his virtues. The czarina gave special audience to Mr. Hitchcock and his wife. Her majesty was very cordial and expressed senti- nents toward the American people similar to those of her husband.
 MT Hitchcock says that no questions Of importance are pending between the United States and Russia, and that the relations between tho two countries are of the most cordial character The statements which have been made re- garding the placing of a Russian loan i'll New York, he says, are partly true, though the negotiations thereupon are still pending. He expressed surprise that the diplomatic bill of the Ameri- can congress did not provide for a third secretary to the St. Petersburg em- bassy The relations of the two coun- tries are developing so rapidly as to make it necessary that more assistance be given to the ambassador at St. Petersburg.

YALE TO GET BACK HER GUNS. They Were Used on the Auxiliary
 Cruiser Named For the University

New Haven, Conn, Feb. 12.-It was learned here this evening that the Hon. C. A. BoutelIe chairman of the house committee on naval affairs ha3 promised to use his influence to secure ton bill of a clause providing for the transportation Of the cruise. Yale s guns, "Eli" and Handsome Dan." t0 the Yale Campus. John AdGi ol Por- ter, '78, secretary to the president has been trying to bring this about for months. After the failure of other means, he finally decided to appeal di- rectly to congress. The house com mittee on naval affairs has accordingly reserved from it's surplus a sufficie nt amount to cover the cost of shipping the guns to New Haven
 In it's recommendation th9 c m mittee will say that it does not desire to have the guns taken to Ia'e sh Ould the government deem that they are needed elsewhere; also, that they are to remain here only at the pleasu of the navy department. The guns were presented to the cruiser in return for the compliment extended by tEe navy department in naming the cruises after the university. About $5,C00 WE raised among the undergraduates and graduates, and the money was invest ed in the two guns and a set Of Colors. The flags have been returned t0 tn and are in the Chittenden library

OUTLOOK NOT ENCOURAGING.

At the meeting of the School Board
last night the City Treasurer submit
ted an estimated report of the amount
of money that would be available for
the use of the board up to June 80.
1892 which, without including out
standing bills and what may hereafter
be made, would leave a balance on
hand at that time of S2i. Bills were al
lowed last night amounting 10 $500, and
there are three months yet to run,
which may increase the deficiency. The
board at present does not exactly know
what to do. They do not want to owe
the teachers, neither do they want to
close the schools earlier than usual, so
the matter has been referred to the FL
nance Committee, with the hone that
they may be able to do something. The
committee will report at the next meet
ing what is best to be done. Possibly
the Council may be appealed to for as
sistance.
