 Britain's Defenses.

London, Jan. 29.-With the opening of the new parliamentary regime, Field Marshal Lord Roberts renews his cam paign of warning to the country re- garding the inadequacy of it's defences. Adressing the members of the Liver pool Chamber of Commerce tonight he again affirmed that the nation was as absolutely unprepared for war as it was in 1S99 He urged the adoption of a million men as the military standard half of which would be needed for the defense of India, and the other half to fit the nation to maintain Euro pean struggle. Lord Roberts said he had heard of the renewal of the Anglo Japanese alliance with enthusiasm, but he reminded his audience that national conditions and national necessities were subject to change, and that the alli- ance only applied to Asia, and not to Europe, wehere the danger was great CT

TALE ALUMNI OF BOSTON
Some Criticism of Harvard-CoI. Os-
 born for the Simple Life.

Boston, Jan. 29,-The new football rules and the abandonment of the game by Harvard were criticised at the for tieth annual dinner and reunion of the Yale alumni of Boston at the Exchange club tonight.
 The criticism of Harvard's renuncia- tion of football began with the address of former Congressman John R. Thay- CT, of Worcester. MT. Thayer ventured the assertion that If Harvard had won the football game last fall President Eliot would not have been so anxious to play ping pong"
 Norris G. Osborn, of New Haven, criticised the acceptance by Yale of a gift of $1,O0O,00O from John D. Rocke- feller, MT. Osborn expressed the opin- ion that Yale should teach the simple life rather than the strenuous life in preparation for the worlds work.
 Walter Camps criticism of the new football rules found vent in a para phrased set of rules that he had drawn up for the occasion. These rules pro- vided that any athlete found on the field with two dollars in his pocket should be deemed a professional, and that any player showing signs of be- coming angry should be removed from the game. There were several other rules of a like tenor. After reciting them Mir. Camp remarked: By this means we hope to make football popu- lar across the river" Then, speaking in a serious vein, he defended football, and said that it tended to democracy in athletics.

NOW 4 TEST OF ENDURANCE.
Strike Between New York Printers and
 TypOthetae,

New York, Jan. 29.-The printers strike in this city had become to-day a test of endurance between the members of the Typothetae and the strikers. Members of Typographical union No. 6 asserted to-day that the union is in a position to maintain a long fight, be- cause most of the compositors who left the cases and machines in Typothetae shops are working under the union scale in composing rooms of newspa- pers and shops which, they said, have been flooded with orders because of business being diverted from the Ty- pothetae They declare that the real crisis in the strike will come when the Typothetae firms standing for the "open shop" will have to set up all their matter. In anticipation of the strike, they said, these concerns worked their union printers overtime and got out matter for the magazines for April, May and June all union set.

CHIEF WILL NOT BE CENSOR
DECLINES POSITION As JUDGE
 OF THE DRAMA.

FayOrs Committee to be Given Author
 ity by Ordinance-Attorney Wolf
 Says There is Remedy Enough Now
 --Rev MT. MOssman Objects to BIan-
 ket License-Bill Posters Also Up.
 The committe on ordinances held the hearing on theatrical bill posters and li- censing of theatrical performances ad- journed from Monday of last week in city hall last evening before a rather small representation of citizens.
 Rev Mir Mossman outlines the plan tor the new ordinance, which shall re- quire that each performance that Is to be given here shall have notice served ten days begfore the date for it's rep resentation. If any citizen considers the play objectionable in any feature he may then make his objection known to some person or board which shall have authority to exahiae such play and judge whether or not 1t shall be permitted in this city. In case the de- cision is adverse the license for it's per formance shall be withheld This also requires the separate licensing of each play In opposition to the present so- called blanket license covering one month to which MT. Mossman objected decidedly
 Attorney Isaac Wolf opposed any new ordinance to create a censorship of the theaters. He could not see now any such law could be practically enforced Furthermore, he declared, there is no need for any further law on the sub ject The present law( if strictly en- forced, will prevent any play that is objected to. The remedy is now in the hands of the mayor and chief-o police, who can refuse to issue a license for any play.
 T am tdeatergoer myself said Mir. Wolf. q probably go as much as any person in the city. I don't know any three men in New Haven whom I would want to allow to decide on the matter of plays for me, I don't know where you are going to get three men and determine for all the citizens of New Haven whether play is all right or not. One man may have one view, another some other"
 Attorney Wolf also raised the point that the objection might be in the man ner of performance, not in the matter

NO CONTRACT WORK YEE
Government will Not Give Any Out on
 Canal nt Present.

Washington, Jan. 29.-It can be stated authoritatively that no considerable part of the work of construction of the Panama canal will be let at contract within the next two or three years. After consideration of the proposition to have all of the work done by con- tract, and having In mind the experi
 ence of the engineers who sought to have the dredging of Christobal harbor done by contract at a reasonable price, the officials responsible for the canal construction have decided that the con- tract system is not feasible at present. The contractors, lacking knowledge of local conditions, climatic difficulties, labor problems and other contingencies incident to tropical work. are obliged to fix their bids at prohibitive price in order to protect themselves. It will be for the government it Is explained, to demonstrate the actual unit prices of work, which will probably require two or three years, and then contrac- tors may be invited to bid on basis of well-established physical conditions.

RATE MEASURE COMPROMISE.
Talk About the Senate of One on Rail-
 road Legislation.

Washington, Jan 2S.-There was some talk about the senate to-day of railroad-rate measure compromise, the suggestion being that either the Elkins or the Foraker bills should be made a part of the Deliver bill so that two courses of procedure could be open to the commission in regard to complaints regarding rates, one by the commission itself and the other by recourse to the courts. In case this programme was adopted it was thought rate bill could be passed in the senate with very little opposition.
 The suggestion has not taken such definite shape as to receive serious con- sideration, but may be brought before the committee on interstate commerce at it's meeting on Friday,

SUDDEN END OF KING
 CHRISTIAN OF DENMARK
DEAN OF THE CROWNED HEADS OF EUROPE PASSES
 AWAY.

MOrtally Stricken While at Luncheon-- Half the Courts of Europe Plunged Into the Deepest Grief-His ouiclx Taking Away Has Almost ParaIyxed the Country and Unnerved the Busi- ness World of Denmark-Parliamen to Meet To-day.

The acces son of hIs successor, Prince Frederick, his eldest son, who will be known as Fraasrick the Eighth, will be proclaimed to-mor- row.
 The following official bulletin was is- sued this evening:
 His majesty died at S;S0 o'clock this afternoon. After his majesty had brought this mornings audience to a close he appeared to be quite well, and proceeded to luncheon as usual. To- wards the end of the meal he gave evil dence of indisposition, and was com peled to retire to bed at 2.30 D. m. His majesty passed away peacefully, the symptoms indicatig heart failure"
 This brief bulletin tells concisely the story of the death scene which found everyone, even those who realiz- ed the increasing feeIbleness of the king, unprepared for the sudden shock. The death of King Christian has plunged half the courts of Europe into the deepest mourning, and broagllt a sense of personal loss, as wei! as of sincere grief, to everyone throughout the kingdom of Denmark, reaching even to the humblest cottage, evidences of which are shown everywhere tCs- night It has cast pail over the ral- aces of the monarchs of Great Britain, Russia. Norway and Greece.
 The quick taking away of this dis
 
 tinct personality. who has for so long been center of interest not only iii his own country but throughout the civilized world, almost paralyzSd the communitlzss unnsgys Aas xssi issssu1 world of Derfmark. Even late to-nfgfiT' the men of affairs are only recovering from the shock and beginning to pre- pare for. the changed conditions. l Every flag in the country is at half mast; all the places of amusement are closed, and the people walk the streets as though they were passing through the chamber of death.
 This afternoon, when the flag flying over the palace was placed at half mast, the news spread from mouth to mouth. It was not believed by the great crowds which gradually assem- bled dn the square in front of the Anna lienborg palace, but when uncertainty l gave place to certainty those in the as- semblage shed tears and dispersed in respectful silence, many bearing their heads and saluting the palace as they went by.
 King Christian appeared to be in his usual health this morning. After talk ing breakfast he held a public audi ence, which it had been his custom to do every morning The reception to-
