Conference Between Managers of
German and British Lines.

Ostend, Belgium. September 1S.-A
conference of the managers Of the Ger
man and British steamship lines plying
between Europe and South America has
begun here. The purpose of the con-
ference is to establish uniform freight
rates in the South American trade.
The rumors that the conference had in
view the creation of a trust for the pur-
pose of restraining a monopoly Of the
trade between Europe and South Amer
lea in the hands of European ship own
ers cannot be confirmed.
The conference has already held two
sessions, but it is not expected that the
decision will be given out until they
have been ratified by the companies
concerned. 1t is said, howeN er. that the
confere nee has practically decided, in
view ,f the continuance of low return
freight rates to make a general increase
of twenty per cent. on out gong freight

YaIels $4,000 Football Season.


Yale's gate receipts for the football
season will reach the handsome total
of about $4,000. The game with Har-
ward alone, which had 10000 specta-
tors, added $4,000 to the football earn
ings of Old Els sons. The game
with Princeton vas worth $4,000 to
them. From the eleven other games
they netted $4,000. So that the aver
age gross earnings of a first class col
lege football team is about $500 per
game.
This is a fact that bears witness to
the great and all-the-time-growing
fondness of the American people for
clean and sl1ilful athletic sports. It also
suggests that if the expenses of train
ing the team are kept within modest
limits, the football earnings Of a crack
team will before long be Of themselves
a considerable endowment fund for a
college. Yale's $4,000 from gate re-
ceipts is the equivalent of four per
cent. per annum on 81 875,000 which is
a larger endowment fund than is en-
joyed by many Of our best-known col
leges, including Amherst, Bowdoin,
Princeton and Williams. Colleges

prowess of their athletes may be

for three years without accomplishing
any results, 80 far as could be OBJ
served At the end Of that period the
management of the Union Pacific re-
ceived from him communication de-
mandlng the immediate removal of the
monument from the promises. which
he claimed as his under the Home
stead law.
The matter was regarded in a hum
orous light at first, but subsequent pro-
ceedings developed the fact that the
squatter had what lawyers call u
ease"
The stranger, 1t seems, had located
on a section of land which did not be-
long to the Union Pacihc-the same
section on which the monument had.
by an inadvertance, been placed. He
knew very we'll what he was about.
and the upshot of the affair was that
the railway had to pay $4,000 for the
squatter's tract, in order to make its
title good.

CABBIES OFF PIER
Hamburg Line Excludes Jehus
From Its Wharf for In
sulting Conduct.

A test case to decide whether any cab
man has right to drive on the Ham
burg American Line steamship piers, at
Hoboken, for the nrpose Of securing
passengers, was brought before Acting
Recorder James Laverty in the Hoboken
police court this morning.
John Wynn, driver of cab owned
by William Disch.. a liveryman, was ar
raigned on a charge of disorderly con-
duct. Disch was brought in later on
the same charge. The men were arrest
ed by Chanceman Hansen because they
insisted upon driving on the piers.
Captain Badenhausen, superintendent
of piers, explained that the company had
recently decided to exclude all cabs from
the piers except those owned by Hexa-
mer and Smith. Captain Badenlausen
produced a letter which he said the
steamship company had received from
three Catholic clergymen whd recently
arrived from England. The clergymen
comnlained that one Of the cabmen had
insulted them. The cabman in question
is said to be employed by Robert A.
Block. .ssssss
The court decided that the, cabfien
had no right on the piers unless they re-
ceived permission from the company.
Disch was discharged, but his c4bnAp,
Wynne, was fined ~.
