The government has at last disposed
of the case Of the filibuster Abbey,
which was captured I'm Philippine wa
tiers by Admiral Dewey last winter,
and Secretary Long has ordered the
vessel restored to its owners, Spitzel &
Co. of Hongkong. The decision is In
the way Of compromise, Spitzel & Co.
having signed an agreement releasing
the government from the claims for
damages for the confiscation and reten-
ton of the vessel, and the government
has abandoned it's claim against the
vessel as n prize.
This decision is due to the fact that
the nearest prize court in which the
case could be considered was San
Francisco. and the expense of bring
Ing over witnesses was not to be
thought OF. The American registry
granted to the Abbey by DR.. Edward
Bedloe, formerly American consul at
Canton, has been revoked.
Representative Richardson of Ten
nessee enjoys the unique distinction Of
having received more votes for speaker
OF the house than were ever before re-
ceived by any unsuccessful candidate
for that office. He received 1876 votes,
while the next highest number ever re-
ceived by a defeated candidate was
that given for Mr.. Carlisle. when he re-
ceived 1oi votes. CARL ScHoFIELD.

YALE'S FRESH FRESHMEN.

New Haven. Oct 2i.-According to the Yale Daily News the present fresh man class at Yale is the freshest of the fresh.'' In a scatching sour on the freshmen the News says editoria1ly: The present freshman class, as a whole, are the youngest acting lot that have come to Yale for a long time. If their wonted actions exhibited merely freshness, we would gladly ex cuse tIiem; but when they perpetrate misdemeanors which is likely to do their college as well as themselves ser ious injury, we feel justified in scoring them. One favorite amusement is to annoy street car conductors by dis connecting the trolley. This is a mild example of their many capers."
