YALE BOYS DILEMMA.
Mistaken for Thieves and Chased by
Policeman,

New York, Feb. 16.-Nine members
of the senior and Junior classes at
Yale, who came here to play whist
against Columbia, had a more lively
time than they expected before they
finally caught the midnight train Tor
New Haven. They were chased up
Broadway by an alarmed hotel pro-
prietor and finally stopped by a po'
liceman, who emptied his revolver in
the air. 1t was all because they want
ed to go home on the II O'Clock train
and started for it so near the hour
that it was a case of sprint or lose.
They missed. After defeating Column
bia in the afternoon they continued
playing whist in the evening at the
Victoria hotel and we're so interest,
ed that they did not know the time
until 10:45. They got into their over
coats in a jiffy and dashed pell mel
down the stairs. The last of them
had his overcoat tucked under his
arm and it looked as if he were con
cealing something. The proprietor OF
the hotel thought he was being robbed
and shouted after the fleeing students
The porter took up the cry and start
ed after them. Others fell into his
wake and gave voice to the shouting
Finally a patrolman came along, drew
his revolver and began. shooting into
the air. Then. and not until then, die
the card-players stop. The porter
and policeman rounded them up anC
led them back to the hotel. 1t took
but a minute to explain and there
was no end of apologies. Meanwhile
however the II o'clock express was
whistling for Mt. Vernon.

hung on the wreck as a tribute to
those who lost their lives in the dis
aster. Representatives of the Cuban
Veterans association took part in the
ceremony and brought the finest of all
floral offerings. The exercises we're
purely memorial, references calculat-
ed to revive animosity being avoided.
The United States legation was not
represented, Minister Squires holding
that any possibility Of stirring up feel
ings of the Spanish residents by pub
lie exercises commemorative Of a bit
ter incident in war ought to he avoid
ed. Cuban government officials final
ly decided not to attend. but a govern
ment launch accompanied the process
sion to the wreck. A United States
quartermaster's launch led the way
to the wreck, followed by two small
steamers loaded with Americans, and

small craft. All about the
harbor American and Cuban flags
were flying at half mast. Strains of
a dead march played by a band of the
United States artillery corps, 1oated
across the water as the procession
made it's way to the Maine. After
completing the decoration. of the for
lorn wreck, the boats clustered around
the quartermaster's launch, the avn
ing deck of which was utilized as a
platform. After a prayer offered by
Rev. Mr.. Mcpherson, General Nunez,
of Havana province, who is
also president of the Cuban Veterans
association, spoke in Spanish to the
effect that the Cuban veterans would
never permit such an OCCASION to pass
without testifying their regard for
those whom Cubans were proud to
regard as comrades.

GOOD BEGINNING MADE FOR BIG
WEEKS BUSINESS.
SENATE is IN NO HURRY
United Copper Lobby Receives R3n-
Observation-Disclosures Must Re-
frain from Use Of Weed.

Helena, Feb. 16-This morning the
house went at things with a rush. 1t
started the week by passing eight
bills, including the two measures cal
culated to pull the city Of Helena out
Of it's financial hole, and all of the
committees got busy at the noo adj
journment. In addition a number of
committee reports were received. AL
together the house has taken on an
air of brisk business.
The senate, Ave for a few stray SEN
ators and the members of the United
Copper lobby, hanging about the desks
and corridors, was deserted this
morning. The august upper house did
not meet until 3 O'Clock, but then it
plunged into the third reading and
passage of a number of bills.
With the opening of the week
comes renewed activity on the part
of the United Copper lobby 1t was
swelled this morning by the arrival
of the only Tom Kinds.
Toward the close of the morning
session of the house today Lanstrum
endeavored to get a resolution through
abrogating the rule which prohibits
smoking in the lobbies and galleries
when the house is in session, but fail
ed, though he mustered 80 ayes to Is
nays. Not having the necessary two
thirds majority his resolution was
put away and the smokers mourned.
A resolution by Beaudry, requiring
the committee on privileges and cleo
tions to report on February 18, the
itemized statement of expenses in the
Silver Bow contest was defeated, the
committee explaining it would pre-
SEM the statement as soon as it could
be made up.

NEW BURLINGTON PRESIDENT.
John r. Stevens to Succeed Geo. B.
Harms as Head Of That System.

Harris as Head of That System.
John F. Stevens, whose sudden re
tirement Is general manager Of the
Great Northern was the railroad sen.
sation of the week, is to succeed Geo
B. Harris as president of the Chicago
Burlington & Quincy, one of the con
stituent companies of the Northern
Securities company, says the Mime
apolis Journal.
Mr.. Stevens selection for the pres
idency of the Burlington is easy to
understand. He represents all Mr..
Hills advanced ideas of economical
operating methods. Economy i'll this
branch of railroad science has been
Mr.. Hills hobby for years.
Mr.. Hills controversy with Presi-
dent Harris of the Burlington, relative
to the high operating expenses or tnat
system, received some prominence ir
the merger proceedings before Ref.
cree Ingersoll last fall. Mr.. Hill stat.
ed several times that the Burlington
was not operated at needlessly high
cost. Some correspondence was
brought out on the subject, also. Mr..
Hill thought if Great Northern meth
DDS were applied to the Burlington,
there would be a marvellous saving.
And this is precisely what John F.
Stevens is to accomplish on the Bur-
lington. He is to apply the Great
Northern system to the Burlington
and bring about the tremendous saw
ing that Mr.. Hill thinks can be made.
The future of Mr.. Harris is not
known. He has been connected with
the Burlington many years and his
name is closely associated with that
property.
Mr.. Hill has now two Of his best
men on the Burlington.
One of his first acts after the mer~
ger took place was to place Darius
F. Miller in charge of Burlington
traffic, with the title of vice presi-
dent.
He now takes his general manager
and gives him a post still of higher
trust, and places upon his shoulders
the responsibility of actual manage
ment.

ed eight days, and sc on to New York
did you have an audience with the
czar?" was asked.
I'VE received an invitation to meet
the car, but we were delayed a day
and so did not arrive in time. An au-
| dience of the car would have been
given us, but we could not remain.
Our invitation extended to a grand
ball at the Winter palace; but as we
would have had to remain at least
another week for the purpose, we re-
luctantly decided to forego the pleas,
ure. l was there five years ago as
the guest of the government and all
officials treated us very ~courteously.
On this occasion 1t was summer. This
time it was winter, which is the best
season of the year to obtain an idea
of life IN Russia.
81 paid a very pleasant visit to King
Edward when we reached England,
and was most graciously received"
Regarding the story that Mrs. Miles
was overlooked in the invitation which
the general received from King Ed
ward, General Miles said:
Mrs. Miles was not invited to Wind
sor, through an oversight. 1t was not
known that she was with me, or the
invitation would have been rendered
to her also. The master of ceremon-
les wrote me a very nice letter Of
explanation in which he said the king
did not know Mrs. Miles was present,
or she would have been included in
the invitation"
In Paris the general vas the guest
of honor at a dinner at the house Of
General Brugere, commander-in-chief
of the French army. AS to his plans,
General Miles said he was going to
West Point to visit his son., Sherman,
if he could find time, and was then
going to Washington to make his re-
port.
81 will in no manner forecast what
will be contained in my report" he
added.
The general looks hale and hearty,
and both he and Mrs. Miles appear
as though the trip had agreed with
them, and they had enjoyed their stay
abroad.

~
General Miles,, commanding the Unit
ed States army, wife and party arrived
here yesterday on the steamship Lu
cania. The general, who has beer
abroad five months, has, in that time
bcsn around the world.
One feature of the trip across the
Atlantic for the general was the send
ing of a M~arconigram to King Edward
VII February 8. When the Lucania
was so miles from the Marconi station
at Crockhaven, General Miles sent
the following:
"Midocean: Greeting, with the best
wishes for happiness and health OF
his majesty and royal family"
To which the following reply was
received by cable on the arrival OF
the Lucania in port:
81 have submitted your message to
the king. l am commanded by his
majesty to thank you for your good
wishes and to say for him that il
afforded him much qualification to re
oeive it at Windsor. Knollys."
With the general we're Mrs. NJ. F.
Maus, Mr.. Henry Clark Rouse, New
York; F, B. Wiborg of Cincinnati
Mr.. and Mrs. Sherman Hoyt.
Mrs. Whitney was with the party
when trey left this country, but re
turned some weeks ago.
To his interviewers General Miles
said:
Il have been abroad for five moths.
I left September II for the Pacific
coast and there made an inspection
of the forts and the coast defenses
from Puget sound to southern Cali
fornia.
'In the first of October we sailed
on the transport Thomas. We stopped
at Honolulu, the Sandwich islands
and then sailed for Guam. W.
touched al the island, then continued
to the Philippines. We spent a
month there. l examined the military
situation and visited the principal
stations and forts and inspected the
troops there. There were no serious
hostilities at the time. The 10000
troops there were in fine condition
From the Philippines he contin'
ued, 1--WE went to Hong Kong. Canton
and thence to Nagasaki and Yoke
hama. We visited the military acad.
envy at Toxic and saw something OF
the Japanese troops.
THE Japanese army is very well
equipped and disciplined, and SO is
the navy. When | was there they
were discussing the question of rails
ing a large fund for the equipment
of the navy. In the army they have
most modern appliances. The Japa
system of inspection and routine is
much the same as ours. They pay
a great deal of attention to drills
physical condition and gymnastic eX
ercises. The troops at Toxic at tbs
academy number about as many ca
diets as we have at West Point and
it is a we'll conducted and efficient
corps"
Continuing the general said the
party went from Japan to Port Authul
and thence to Pekin.
81 remained there a short time. we
have there a small detachment ' Of
troops. the legation guard at the cap
ital. Everything there is quiet. We
were accorded an audience by the EN-
peror and dowager empress. They
