.YALE'S MOCK ELECTION.
Students Asked to Name Their Choice
 for President.

New Haven, Oct 22.-A mock elcc- ton is being held by the editors of tine Yale Daily News on the presidential candidates. Students registered in all departments of the university are en- titled to cast ballots. The election opened at o'clock this morning. It will close at D. III. Tuesday.
 The ballot boxes were placed in coll- venient places. one in each department of the university, but up to noon to-day a very small proportion of the vote CT the university had been cast. The vote will be heavy this evening prob ably, as great political mass meeting will serve to draw the student body together. The parade will pass the ballot box of the academic depart ment.
 A conservative estimate of the Yale republican and Yale democratic club leaders places the ratio ill the univer- sity at approximately , to 1 for Me I\inley, or in figures about 2.000 tG 100. women students not being count ed. of course.

The Imperial Party Suffered Many Hardships-Stopped at Wayside
 Inns and Lived On the Commonest
 Food-Kang Ii Accompanied the Party and Said He Would Share the
 Exile of the Court
 Tacoma, Wash, Oct 22-The Orien- tai liner Glenogle, which reached Ia coma last, nighr, brings an interesting story or the, flight Of the Empress =DoWager from t'ekin. The escape of the court furnishes one of the most entrancing stories of the Chinese cam palgn- The Shanghai Mercury tells the story as follows:
 Tt appears that ill accordance with the regular practice of the ChineseS officials in similar cases. false reports of supposftiouS victories oyer the allies were persistentlv- rendered 10 the pal ace. with the result that the court was lulleI into feeling of fancIed security and it was not until the allies had actually entered the capital that the real facts became known to the empress and q rude awakening took place
 ''On the early morning of the 18th of August the dOWager in company with the emperor, left the palace clothed in common Chinese cotton gar ments. travelling in an ordinary Chinese cart, and accompaied by an insignificant retinue. Such was the hurry of their departure that no money or yaluables in any quantity were taken With them, and for sev- eral days the imperial party is said to have suffered great hardshipS. The only food with which they were sup piled was tile common millet of the country. and st night they had to sleep in Way-side inns on the rough brick kan.s Furnished for the accom- modation of travellers.
 "Amop- tiiUSe who accompanied the court were Prince Yuan. kang Ii and Wang N'tu>.iuo and it is said that the empress. iru.-!.. sympathy with the latter oil -,crnuIlt of his age, urged him to rtt,.l-:I lu his residence at the capital. bui i:e uId man begged with tears to 'r allowed to share in the exile Of ti, cnt:it.

 Tn the light of the above narrative the reference in the account given by the SinWen Pao of the reported dis grace of Prince Yuan to the discom- forts attending the flight from Pekin affords some circumstantial evidence of the accuracy of that account, and the fact that the same paper in its issue of this morning again refers to the empress displeasure with the prince adds further weight to its pre- yiouS statement"

PROBATE COURT NEWS.
Attorney W. l.. Frisbie Will Not Be
 Confined in Sanitarium.

Attorney W. l.. Frisbie Will Not Be Confined in Sanitarium,
 X somewhat unusual case was part- ly heard by Judge Lowe in the uro- bate court to-day. It was petition
 for the removal of Mrs Robert s. Cairns as guardian of her stepdaugh-3 ter, Ethel Cairns. aged g years, and the first hearing in cen1esting MT Cairns,s Will. Judge Bradstreet, representing MT Tullar, 8 relative of Mir Cairns. and who wished to be appointed guardian
 over Ethel. claimed that he had eyi-@ dence to show that deceased and the alleged widow were never married Ie-
 gally, but that Mrs Cairns was de Iceived by Cairns. The widow was under examination for come time 3b by
 Judge BradstreeI and to his questions
 she replied that she was married to
 the deceased in July. of last year. 1 Prior to that time she had been in
 his employ for some months. but a
 month before the marriage she had
 lived at her home in New Britain.
 They left Waterbury on the 6:oS train
 for Bridgeport on the evening of their
 marriage. Arriving in Bridgeport.
 they went to the home of Mrs Gross
 hans. a friend of Mrs Cairns. living
 on French street. stopping ons their
 way in front of jewelgy store, where
 deceased bought marriage ring, while
 witness remained outside. t.
 | Mrs Cairns knew nothing, about .
 marriage certificate She did not know
 the name of the clergy man who per
 formed the marriage, the name of the lchurch to which he belonged or the 6tfeet where be lived. Colonel Bur l bee, representing the will, objected to
 this testimony on the grounds that It
 made no difference whatever whether
 or not witness was the widow of the
 deceased: the question was4 Whather I or not he was in his sound sSeRsak when
 he left her legacy of $1,000. the pro-
 ceeds of an insurance policy. Even.
 were she not his widow 1t was evi-
 dent that Cairns had deceived her. She,
 had spent money on him which she
 had earned before she met biz when he was in need of money. He had re
 qnently told her he would see she would be provided for in his will and that he wished her to be guardian over
 Ethel. At this juncture Judge Brad
 street found he could not continue the examination and the hearing was ad- | iourned to next Tuesday.
 The long pending application to have Attorney w. l.. Frisbie confined | in a sanitarium was withdrawn this
 morning as several letters from phy- sicians who examined him went to show that he is now in good general health. An application was then hled | that he be restored to the care of his property and upon this application hearing will be held Wednesday morn 1 ing ---. :,. ...--..-.- p. s.

GAME LAWS IN CHICAGO.
Construction 1Put on the Lacey Act
 by Secretary Wilson.

Chicago, Oct 22-There is q great CTS in this city as to the construction of the federal law in reference to handing game from states where ship ment is prohibited. Missouri and Nebraska are known as open states, and game which comes from them is usually let alone. However. the fed eral law. known as the Lacey act. is strict and requires that all packages of game shall designate the amount of game i'll each.
 To learn just what the government intended to do ill this matter q letter of inquiry was sent to Secretary Will son of the department of agriculture. Following is an eXtract from Secre- tary Wilson's reply:
 II min receipt of your letter of recent date ill which you request q statement as to the steps taken by this department to enforce the act of congress approved on May 25. 1900. commonly known as the Lacey act. Since the majority of offenses against game laws are due simply to ignor- Gnce of the restrictions imposed for the protection of game. our efforts thus far have been directed mainly to- ward preventing rather than prosecut- in" such violations
 Our object has been to make the laws more generally known and to bring game protective associations in to closer touch with one another Al though congress thus far has made no set appropriations for carrying the La cey act into effect there is ample pro- vision for dealing with violations which may arise under, it."
 The construction of this letter by the few game dealers in Chicago who have seen it is the federal authorities are inclined to be lenient this season. but to sew up tight the shipments next season.
