YALE TRACK GAMES.
Annual Event Attracts a Large and
Enthusiastic Crowd.

NEW HAVEN, Conn, April 2S.-The
annual class track athletic games of the
Yale Track Athletic association were held
this afternoon before a large and en-
thusiastic audience. Not a few specta-
tors were there in anticipation of trouble
over the case of J. Pinckney Adams, the
distance runner, who few days ago was
notified that he would not be permitted to
run in the games and whose entry fee
was returned to him. Adams insisted that,
though not technically member of the
team, owing to Capt. Johnson's removal
of him, he had the right, as a student,
to participate. A considerable number of
students sided with him. but he did not
appear today, and there was no unpleas-
antness.
The events were, in the main, well
contested and interesting, though no REQ
ords were broken. In view of the fact
that next Saturday Yale will meet Column
bia. and the week following they will

WILD BILL.
Meade County news. [volume] (Meade, Kan.) 1900-1918, 1900-07-26

Mr.. Sutton IN his speech last Sat
urday devoted considerable time to
explaining how the Democratic par
ty had been an expansion party up
to the time of the civil war but since
that time it had been on the retro
grade. Upon examination of the
the Democratic platform of 1900
we find the following:
1--WE are not opposed to territor-
ial expansion, when it takes in de-
sirable territory which can be erect
ed into states in the Union, and
whose people are willing and fit to
become American citizens. We ia
vor trade expansion by every peace
full and legitimate means. But we
are unalterably opposed to the seiz-
ing or purchasing of distant islands,
to be governed outside the consti-
tuition, and whose people can never
become citizens"
We admit they have been and are
now expansionists, within the mean
ing of the above paragraph. Any
policy outside the governing of &C
quired territory outside the constitu-
ton belongs to monarchial forms of
government and has no place among
the free institutions of a Republic
like the United States. All the &C
quired territory under Democratic
administrations have been governed
by the constitution and made a part
of this Republic. Can the Philip
pines, geographically speaking, ever
become part of this union as did
the Democratic acquisitions? We
answer, no. The Democratic party
today contends that a republican
form of government should be es-
tablished for these people and that
we protect them from the Gland
grabbers" of Europe. In doing this
these people would give the United
States any concessions she would
ask. The Democrats denounce the
present indicative policy of the ad-
ministration to make colonies of
these islands which, as we stated
before, belong to monarchial forms
of government. The same argument
holds good in regard to Cuba and
Porto Rico. The Democratic ac-
QUESTIONS of territory referred to by
Mr.. Sutton and the present Philip
pine question are not parallel cases.

| THE TALE OF HAT.
| Did you ever hear of that wonderful hat,
| That would fly away when not holding,
And wasn't it mystery that
| He lost it without murmur or scolding?
We see that he figured it right down pat,
While the wind it was furionsly blowing,
And there was no room to tighten the track,
And the storm it was fast approaching.
We are sorry this sad tale to relate,
For the loss was without recompense,
But the JOY of kiss in the dark,
Is not to be reckoned in dollars and cents.
The search for it was long and weary,
Butsuccess crowned the adventure at last,
By cropping and moping and fumbling and
searching,
He found the old '.katy" and now holds
it fast.

REDUCED RATES GIVEN
On Products of Southern Furnaces to
the Northern Market.

Atlanta, Ga, September 20.-At a
conference between the representatives
of southern furnace operators n the
leading officials of the southern rail-
roads at the Kimball house today,
held ait the instigation of the former
for the purpose Of obtaining some con-
cesSion in freight rates, a decision was
reached, which in effect reduces the
freight rate on furnace products 80
cents ON The ton to Ohio and Missls-
sippi river points and beyond, and to
south Atlantic and Virginia cities and
eastern points. This decrease applies
solely tt domestic business. Export
rates were not interfered with.
The railroads one year ago, advanc
ed domestic freight rates 81 and rates
to the coast for export iron SO cents on
the ton. The furnace operators made
little complaint of the advance so long
as prices of iron held up, but when the
market weakened the furnace men
urged a reduction to a rate common
surate with the decline in pig iron.
This the railroads declined to enter
tain, ~contending that their operating
expenses would not justify h conces-
sion asked. Attempts to get together
on this line were unsuccessful and In
consequence the furnace people claim
they nave Wen MSn ioSl lne HoftIefh
market.
While the concession Of so cents on
the ton obtained from h railroads
today was not all hat was asked for,
it is thought the furnace operators are
reasonably well satisfied.
Every prominent furnace in the
south was represented at the meeting
and the president or general fright
agent of each southern line was pres
emit
