Of Board of Trade Postponed on Ac-
 count of Weather

The Board of Trade smoker" which was to have taken place last night was post pcned on account of the inclemency of the weather until Wednesday evening next when the interesting programme which has been arranged will be carried out in full.
 Only the faithful few, including President John W. ONeill, H. H. Sinnige. Simon Klotz, John w. Parker w. s. Brown, A. Strauss, Jacob Burger, Paul Gillardoni, James H. Leath, J. H. Roll, John G. Hous- man and representatives of the press, braved the elements, but it was decided to postpone the smoker" until Wednesday evening in order that the absent members and the friends of the merchants might be present
 The gathering was not adjourned, how ever, until full justice had been done the splendid repast of sandwiches and liquid refreshments that had been prepared for the occasion, and several little impromptu talks were made. Every member present was urged to see that the merchants of the city attend the smoker" when some spicy subjects will be discussed.

CROSSING QUESTION
Still Being Generally Discussed-Injur.
 ed Persons Are Better.

The Crossing" question, which has been revived by the two recent accidents, con- tinues to agitate the public mind and to the extent that some action will probably be taken to protect the lives of citizens at the next meeting of the City Council.
 There is much indignation expressed at the lax manner in which these dangerous crossings have been looked after and the suggestion of Circuit Solicitor Charles w. Ferguson, that some one be criminally pros- ecuted, is generally approved.
 Arthur Hust, H. H. Mayberry and David Roberts, who were hurt in the Twelfth street accident Wednesday evening, are get ting along nicely and 1t is thought that they will soon be able to get out, although MT. Hust's injuries will keep him on crutches for some time.

RUSSIAN MINISTER
 DEFENDS HIMSELF
Denies Report That He is En- deavoring to Make Special
 Arrangements

Pekin, January Il. - M. De Giers, the Russian minister to China, denies the cur rent report that Russia is endeavoring to make a special agreement with China ir- respective of the other powers.
 Had this been the case," he said, 'I would not have signed the joint note, al- though probably, so far as Manchuria is concerned, Russia and China will make special arrangements which are not in con- fiict with any treaties or agreements made by Russia and the other joint powers.
 "I do not believe that Russia has any in- tention of keeping Manchuria. Indeed she is placing all the Chinese possible in office. Probably, however it will be necessary to guarantee the railroad for an indefinite period. I do not believe that there are 250,000 Russian soldiers in Manchura.'
 With reference to the claim made by some of the other envoys that Russia vio- lated her word in taking a concession at Tin Tsin, M. De Giers said:
 Nothing of the kind. Tien Tsin is prac- tically foreign city, and Russia felt the necessity of having certain portion of the land there for the benefit of her trade. do not consider this like an acquisition of ter ritory.'
 Prince Ching and u Hung Chang are still awaiting instructions from the court regarding the agreement. Both claim that it is practically certain the orders will be favorable, enabling them to sign immedi- ately.
 Prince Ching says proof of the courts in tention to order the affixing of signatures is to be found in the fact that Prince Chun has been designated to go to Berlin to express China's regret for the murder of Baron Ketteler

DECISION ON THE HOMESTEAD LAWS Debtor May Enjoy the Privilege Even if He Has Waiv-
 ed It

Macon.-Ga.. January 11.-A telegram re- ceived from New Orleans by firm of law yers here states that the United States Circuit Court of Appeals has decided that a debtor may enjoy his homestead even though he may have waived it.
 Tine case involving the question has been before the Court of Appeals for year. It went up from the United States Court at Macon, Judge Speer deciding that waiver would hold good. The Supreme Court of the United States will now be resorted to. Judge Newman of the Northern circuit de- cided a similar question some time ago in which the opinion just rendered was by the Court of Appeals. The Georgia State laws declare that man may waive all but $500 of his $1600 homestead.

oLEOMARGARINE BILL.
Cotton Growers Protest Against Pas
 sage of the Measure.

Washington, January 1.-The Senate committee on agriculture today continued its hearing on the oleomargarine bill A. S. Peters of Texas, president of the Ameri- can Cotton Drawers Association, opposed the bill on the ground that it seeks to dis criminate in favor of one agricultural in- terest in favor of another, which MT. Peters said was unfair.
 Secretary Knight, of the National Dairy Union, followed MT. Peters. Continuing his argument begun yesterday, he thought the cotton oil product used in the manufac- ture of olemargarine was comparatively small and the bill, in his opinion, would have but little effect upon the cotton seed industry. 9r s.s '7

NIGHT 0F ANGUISH
 SPENT ON RUSS|E
Officer Tells the Story of Horri- ble Sufferings Endured by
 the Passengers

Marseilles, January 1.-The passengers of the Russie arrived here by rail at 7:So this evening. Lieutenant Gautherot tells the fol- lowing story of the Russie's experiences:
 ''The steamer ran ashore at o'clock Monday morning. Only the watch was on deck at the time. The passengers rushed up undressed when they felt the shock, and a panic ensued. The captain and officers finally succeeded in calming the people, and the boats were prepared for launching It was found however, that the sea was too rough.
 "As night came on the Russie began to sink. The afterhold and the engine room were inundated, and the vessel, which rolled badly, heeled to the starboard. The pas sengers took refuge in the first cabin and the smoking room.
 Tuesday morning a violent wave burst in the door of the saloon. The passengers, who were again stricken with panic, rushed on deck. We treasured them and barricaded the doorway with mattresses
 We passed the night in a. state of the deepest anguish The waves increased in fury and dashed over the vessel, which was humping, on her starboard side, until early in the morning, the plates gave way and the stern of the vessel went to pieces. The utmost consterna ton now prevailed among the passengers, who fled to the forecastle deck amidships, and the foredeck, clinging to the rails and stanchions. Again we wit messed desperate efforts all day long to rescue us.
 'When night fell without relief and the tempest still raging the scene on board was frightful. The passengers seemed heart broken, the women weeping convulsivefy
 Thursday morning our provisions were almost exhausted. We passed an atrocious

 'In return for renouncing her claim for war indemnity Russia demands an indefi- mite instead of a ninety-year lease on Liao Tung peninsula and of Port Arthur. In other words, it means annexation, as well the complete possession of the Manchurian railway, which, under the existing agreement, reverts to China after ninety years"

COIN SOUVENIRS OF THE FU-
 NERAL, TRAIN

The desire for souvenirs upon the part of the large crowd lined along the railroad tracks at every point was a distinctive feature of the Mckinley funeral train. The most popular of all the methods adopted was the placing of coins on the track so that the train might pass over them, smashing flat the pieces of money as a mark of iden- tification in years to come. This prac- tice was not confined to any particular point or crowd but was indulged in generally all along the route. The nu tilated coins were afterwards gathered up by their owners and displayed with much pride, At some stations, accord ing to the train conductors, so many coins were placed on the rails that it caused a slight jar to the ears as they passed ever them.
 Coins of different denominations az gregating at least several hundred dol lars were strewn along the track at Union Station. Even these relic hunt CTS seemed to appreciate the occasion and surroundings, and, instead of mak- ing a rush for their property as soon as the train had passed waited until it was out of sight before picking up the crushed coins and by common mute consent each was allowed to have his or her own without the least qubbling among them.
 At Roup Station q prominent and wealthy resident of the Shadyside dis trict placed a s10 gold piece upon the rail The approach of the train started to shake it off but it managed to re- main long enough to have just small portion of it nipped off as if done by knife. The owner is quite a collector of souvenirs and oddities and when he picked up his coin he stated it would occupy the most prominent and con spicuous place in his large collection Piftshlirn Pnst

the old president hardly lived to see
 the structure finished, Probably no building had pleasanter associations in the minds of Yale men of the nine teenth century than did old South. It stood near that earlier center of col lege life, the original fence, and many are the anecdotes and tales of adven- ture told in it's memory at reunions even to-day. In the famous town and gown riots of the forties South became the objective point of the struggle when an infuriated mob drew up cannon on the Green and threatened to blow the building to atoms. Here in their undergraduate days lodged the beloved Professor Thacher, and Pro- lessor Dana, the older. as well as score of others whose names have been glory to their people.
 Definite plans for a complete brick row" date from 1797, and in 1903 the elms were set out Several buildings were added in the next twenty-five years. Of these Lyceum, removed dur ing the last summer was perhaps the most interesting. Before it was erect ed in 1S04 the class rooms were crowd- ed to oVerf1owing, so that if tradition may be believed, benches were brought into the entries of South and South Middle, and recitations held there. Ex- cept the third floor where the library was housed, the building was given over to class rooms. President Dwight met his classes in the so-called the ological chamber" on the second floor, and here of a cold morning he would sit hugging the fire with his back to his listeners, and held their attention for two hours at a stretch. In the not ungraceful belfry of Lyceum for nearly ninety years swung the college bell-an object of numberless plots, and a per petual incentive to wild adventure. The writer recalls a particular winters morning in his junior year, when at ? o'colck a terrific din broke from the belfry near by, and sent him flying from bed in a panic A late party of seniors had tied a rope to the bell long enough to reach the ground outside the tower and while two of them made the belfry sway and totter the others seemed to be executing kind of choric dance in strophe and anti-strope, as they raised, tutti, the then peculiar re- frain, Don't you hear those bells?"
