To THE EDITION or TEE sUN Sir. II Is
devoutly 10 be wished that the faculty OF
Yale should not be excluded from the bene-
ats Of the Carnegie foundation. But how
can YAle'e Instructors participate IN view OF
the following extract from the original char
ter Of Yale. since amended In other particu-
lars, but with this provision still in force:
Provided also that persons nominated or ssso
eiGted nom time 70 time 10 MI up said number be
ministers OF the Gospel inhabtlnE within this
colony and above the age OF forty years, or the
major part Of ,hsm.
Here are the terms Of Mr. CarneRie's trans
fer Of the endowment:
Provided, however. that the said bonetac;lonG
shau bs made 70. and the said retiring pensions
email be paid 20 the teachers, their widows OF fani

troll OF . sect, DO not require a majority o. tiEr
frvHeSs, governing bodice. oficers. faculties or
students 70 belong 10 any specified sect. and Do
not fnpoN dRv ppsolo5eaI kH
Il has long been felt BY a number Of YaIe's
graduates that the provision in the charter
was a detriment 70 the universty's progress.
The words In the charter ministers OF the
Gospel. have been interpreted 70 mean, and
IN practise do mean, ministers OF the Con-
EreEational Church. This would evidently
put Yale under Mr. CarneEe's ban against
sects and IL furnishes 40 excellent reason for
an agitation 70 repeal the provision.

where's Farley Now?

Monday was rather red than blue in
Chicago. The stones were whi5tling
through the air. Sometimes bullets
answered them. Crowds we're assault
ing non-union drivers. Patrolmen were
riding on delivery wagons. Deputy
sherifis were guarding express wagons.
Coal and truck caravans were creeping
along under police protection. A lively
day.
A very lively day in the department
stores. Their business had suffered
The streets were no pleasant promenades
for women. For a week the hoorwalker
had walked in solitude. But Monday
broke the charm and the strike. The
Chicago Tribune tells the tale:

Itmatters not whether OF no the French

Porto Rican Coffee in New York.

Porto Rican Coffee I'm New York.
Porto Rico is about TO undertake an
enterprise which was advised by THE
SUN last year. 1t proposes to make an
American market for its coffee by bust
meas methods. This is a most sensible
step, and il It is conducted rightly there
is no reason why the United States should
not take every pound Of coffee that can
BE- raised in the island and pay for it a
price that will be properly remunera-
tive to the growers.
Early in March last the Porto Rican
Assembly Appropriated a small sum- a
little less than SIS 900, for the establish
ment Of an agency for the sale OF coffee
and other products Of the island in this
country. Il is well 10 do something, but
the appropriation is too small for any
hope Of doing that which might and
should be done. Mr.. SCOTT TBUXToN
has been appointed as agent, with a
salary Of s., 500. An assistant is to re-
eeive 81 800, and an allowance Of $4,000
10 made for expenses, THE sun sug-
gested 500, 900, which would permit en-
ergetic canvassing and effective adver-
tiEng- The island is cunning for a
trade Of $40, 900 a year II should 60
after Il with 1S-inch guns and not with
poa-shooter.
IN q letter recently published in a San
Juan paper Mr.. TRUXroN writes that on
July there will be established in New
York an ofios for the sale Of Porto Rioan
oofse. The article sold will be obtained
from the producers Of the best quality
grown in the island. Mr.. TBUXToN de-
claros his intention 10 canvass the leading
hotels Of the city, the clubs and personds
pdYticuldTeS, and TO solicit orders at
prices considerably above those which
are charged for the ordinary market
grades. He should have no difficulty in
making sales. The American people
are ever ready 10 pay good prices for a
good article, and there is no question
Of the superiority Of the Porto Rican
berry.
We could wish that the enterprise
might be conducted on a more extensive
scale, but il is better that it should begin
In q small way than that nothing at all
should be done II the aroma Of the
Porto Rican berry permeates the hotel
the restaurant and the club, il will find
its way to the domestic dining room, and
perhaps 70 the dinner pail. If the Ameri-
can people buy no more than 5 per cent.
Of their coffee supply from Porto Rico,
her walls OF distress will be turned into
hymns Of joy.

Several months ago We had occasion 70
wonder whether the customs officials would
classify Welsh rabbit as a vegetable, an
animal, or a mineral, It now seems that
the Collector OF Customs OF the port OF

ssaslng a duty on imported dead rabbits

guidance . letter dated the i7h Inst addressed 70

this subject
The letter teens with rabbit lore. The
excellent Mr.. RETNoLDs continues:
Tue Auditor Of The Treasury states that he
returned the entries referred 10 With the suEgts-
ton that IN view OF T. d. BOB OF Feb. IS 1904
wherein the Department held that venlson, by
virtue o. the simllltude clause In section Of the
act Of July "a. iS77, Il dufAbie under paragraph
Tt Of the said act, the rabbits In question should
hAys been assessed With duty 81 the rate OF two
cents per pound. The Department Il OF the opinion
that the principle enuncAted In the decision above
referred 20. which was cited and followed by the
Board OF Uplted states General Appraisers in an
unpublished decision dated the 27th ultimo' alb

CLASHES. ION OF dead rabbits, and you are hereby
Instructed 70 essets duty upon future importauons
Of this merchandise ~ your port Al the rate Of two

In the Great venison Controversy, re-
ferred to in the foregoing letter, the Hon.
RoBERT B. ARMSTRONG, Assistant Secretary
Of the Treasury, ruled that two certain i'm
portatons Of venison. being similar to the
meat products provided for In paragraph
274 in material, texture and use, should be
returned for duty at the rate Of two cents
per pound. So, too. in the case at bar the
aforesaid rabbits fall quite properly, We
submit, within the puryieW Of the amilitude
clause.
II there be such a thing a. excessive zeal
in ONCE, we find the Bangor Collector guilty
in the first degree He should have shown
greater ohivalry and charity TO a rabbit,
particularly a dead one.

many persons will agree with the Hon. Robert
B. Roosevelt that the Central Park wall is not
a thing OF beauty. and that II the avenues
bordering the Park had been made wider with
trees on either side. when the Park was laid
out. Il would have been far better. As Il IL now,
nothing can be done without undoinR too
much. The ground Is lover than tho wall In
some places and higher In others. and the
removal Of Il would necessitats much grad
ing, involve the destruction Of many hundreds
OF trees, and more important still, disarranFs
a design which is admittedly one Of the finest
n not the bsst Of its kind. IN the world Mr..
Roosevelt, an amateur Of no mean ability,
would not. am sure. wish 20 disturb the
unity OF the design Of Olmsted and vaux, how
ever much he may desire 20 enhance the
beauty Of the streets bordering upon II. II
