waived his right in behalf of the then in

accordingly occupied by this school until
1850, when the school moved into the new

generosity of Joseph e. Sheffield. The

the educational institution. This build

But by the provisions of the will of
Mrs. Ann Sophia Farnam, whose death
has but recently occurred, the college
will come into possession Of one of the
most attractive residences in New Haven.
and the will provides that it shall be held
for the exclusive use of the presidents
of the institution. This bequest will re-
establish the long-forgotten feature of
life at Yale. the presidents house.
At the present time the son of Mrs,
Farnam, Prof, Henry w Farnam, one
of the members of Yale's faculty, is oc-
cupying the house, and the will provides
that he shall continue to do SO during his
life, when the provisions of the will will

that time, will take up his residence
there
No more ideal place could be imagined
for the official residence of Yales head
than the Farnam home, both as respects
to location and the elegance and roomi-
ness of the house and grounds. The
house is situated on beautiful Hillhouse
avenue. Great shade trees line the street
before it on each side, and in the rear
spacious grounds extend through to Whit
ney avenue. The house is of brick with
brown stone trimmings.

at between $500 900 and $500 900, also be-

of 100000.
The degree inwhich the policy with re-

perhaps best illustrated by the fact that

LONDON, July 13.--Advices from st.
Petersburg say that, according to intel
ngence received from Mukden, the
Japanese last night attacked positions
near Port Arthur and were repulsed
with enormous losses, not less than
10000 being killed or wounded by Rus
sian mines.
A Tokyo dispatch says that the jap
anese Takushan army is moving north
west from SiUyen. 1t has fought a
series of small battles with the Rus
SLAMS as 1t moved forward. The army
is divided into two columns for it's adj
vance against the Russians. When the
first column approached Guaranteeing
the Russians retreated southwest
through the valley, but at nightfall
they took up a position On the heights
west of Chouchiachang.
The Russians were dislodged by the
second Japanese column when it adj
vanced along the road toward Tong

of the Russians near Siutanglaku. The

AT dawn both columns attacked and
dislodged the Russians from the height
west Of Cinchiaku. The Japanese pur-
sued them and again attacked strong
position held by the Russians at Stu
tehikou After desperate fight the
Japanese occupied the position. After
occupying Kaichou General Oku's army
moved northward. The Russians
have strong defenses at Tapingshan,
Nangmatai, Chinghishan and camps
near Kuochiauao General Oku will
attack these positions as soon as his
troops are rested.
A st. Petersburg special dispatch
says that the Japanese advance to
Tatchekiao is shrouded in mystery. 1t
is thought there that the Japanese will
not attempt to take YinkowI before they
capture Tatchekiao, as, otherwise they
would be liable to an unexpected at
tack from the Tatchekiao force, which
is within easy striking distance, thanks
to the railroad.
The japanese advance north will per-
haps be delayed for some days until
the southeastern columns converging
at Siandian compel Major General
Mistchenko to draw off, leaving the Stu
yen road clear to Tantchie and Tatche-
ziao
AS soon as the Japanese troops enter
Yinkow and succeed in removing the
mines from the mouth Of the Lao river
the Japanese gunboats lying along the
coast will come up, but it is not be-
lieyed that the Japanese will venture
to land considerable force or to send
war material SO long as the Port Ar
thur squadron is able to come out
whenever 1t likes.

IT is highly creditable to the newspa :
per men that the public does not vet
know what that figure was which SEN
ator Hanna borrowed from the game of
poker. He was at the time reported as
saying, I'VE hold the ace" The next
day he was reported as unspeakabIv
disguised that the report had made
him utter phrase that to all poker
players would be meaningless and sill
ly. and he explained. according to one
report, that what he cid say was. 1--WE
hold the age" but another report
makes him say, I'VE hold the edge"
Now, as the newspaper men are so in
nocent Of the game that they cannot
tell whether the Senator said ace"

generate player of that hazardous
game tell US what it was the Senator
said, and what he meant by it,
