A YALE FOREIGN MISSION
In China the College Men Will Launch
q Movement.

New Haven, Conn, June 25.-One
of the important announcements of the
Yale commencement season was the
reference by President Hadley in his
address this morning to the plan of a
group of Yale men to establish a mis-
sion in the Far East. This mission,
the first of its kind to be established
by graduates of any American col
lege, is to be conducted along the
broadest lines, carrying on evangeli-
cal, medical and especially education
al work in large student center in
North China. 1t is to be undenomina-
tional and independent Of any existing
society, but will work in harmony with
them, and in close sympathy with the
American board, which has promised
its moral support and its cooperation
in the purchase and distribution of
supplies.
The mission is to be under the lead
ership of the Rev. Harlan p. Beach of
the class OF 1878, at present education
al secretary of the student volunteer
movement, and from 1883 to 1890 a
missionary in China. The mission
is an entirely voluntary association OF
Yale men and will have no official
connection with the university. Many
of the officials of the latter, however,
including the president, are among its
strongest supporters. 1t Is to be con-
trolled by a council of forty men, who
have consented to serve in this
capacity.

Someone of an antiquarian turn has
dug up picture drawn in 1884 and in
tended as a prophecy as to how the
human race would travel a century
later. All sorts of airships are flying
about, but none of them seems to be
as practicable as that navigated by
Santos-Dumont. Horseless carriages
are also shown in profusion, some of
the models being surprisingly similar
to the up-to-date automobile. Even
the houses, stores and public buildings
are on wheels, and in one corner is a
showwman's van with his invitation:
Walk up, walk up, and see a live horse,
supposed to be the last of his race"

Commission
By Scripps- -McRae Press Assn.
Washington, June 26.-Admiral
George Dewey was before The senate
committee today. He again denied
that he had promised the Filipinos
freedom. He said that the FIRST that
he knew the Filipinos wanted inde-
pendence was when Aguinaldo issued
a proclamation TO that effect on July
fifteenth.
The admiral told of taking Agui-
naldo to Manila from Hong Kong
and said he attached little importance
to the matter at that time. After the
naval battle rife shots had been fired
from Manila at the American fleet. II
sent word to the governor general, "
said Dewey, that if they fired another
shot l would destroy the town. So
while the Spanish flag was not hauled
down, Manila virtually surrendered

FOR RIVAL STOCK YARDS
Kansas City Packing Houses May
Handle Their Own Cattle in New
Yards

Kansas City, June % The great
packing houses are considering
'plan of merger" of which n prelim-
mary movement is the acquisition by
the Swifts of the Fowler plants in
Kansas City and Chicago. The An
glo-American packing house in Chic
ago and the George Fowler & Son
plant in Kansas City, both owned by
the Fowlers, are undoubtedly sold to
the Swifts in the sense that an agree
ment has been reached and that only
formal acts of purchase are needful to
close the big deaI. That is to say, it
is like the agreement to buy and to
sell piece of real estate which may
only fail if the title is found to be de-
fective.
A probability, which is given wide
credence, is that the merger of the
packers may consist exclusively of an
alliance Iof the colossal Swift and
Armour plants.
The Chicago Record-Herald says
this morning:
"The purchase of the Anglo -Ameri-
can plants in Chicago and Kansas
City by Swift & Co., has been con-
tirmed and it only remains now for
the directors at Liverpool to ratify
the steps taken by Anderson Fowler.
The latter is on his way to Liverpool
to close The deal. II is the most i'm
portant step the Swift company has
taken in years and will require The
raising of about six million dollars
by the issuing of new securities by the
big concern. The Anglo-American
has great foreign trade, probably
the best of any of the packing firms.
Swift was probably was after this,
though the Swift concern is every
where in Europe already. Another
consideration probablys that the
Anglo- concern had just
equipped a splendid dressed beef es-
tablishment and was starting out to
get business everywhere"
But this gigantic transaction is q
mere detail in the most important
movement in the history Of the cattle
and packing business in the United
States. The conditions all point to
the packing houses creating stock
yards OF their own in Kansas City
and in Chicago. The packers find
that they must reach out farther to
keep their business from getting top
heavy and tumbling over. They must
have secure foundations in the origin
and movement of the cattle, which
they now do not have and which has
lately made them the victims of con-
fusion in their supply.

Dear Sirs:-The athletic council of Bow

your recent communication protesting
against the playing of Mr.. James G. Finn
upon the Bowdoin College football team
during the present season. The council
has carefully investigated the circum-
stances under which Mr.. Finn has become
student of Bowdoin College and finds
nothing in the rules at present in force
among the Maine colleges that would pro-
hibit Mr. Finn from playing on the Bow
don football team in any of this sea son $
Games. Yet in view of the fact that Finn
played on the Bates eleven at the begin
ming of the present season. the council
has unanimously decided not to play Mr..
Finn in the Bates Bowdoin game OF Nov.

would have been made earlier but for the
fact that no meeting of the athletic coun-
Gil has been held prior to this date.
