 Yale Meeting.

So He Thought He Would Sit With the Corporation for the
 First Time.

The Yale Universary corporation met under peculiar conditions yesterday afternoon in that one of those present was Harvard man, Lieutent Cover nor Everett J. Lake. The lieutenant- governor was here in town for the event of the evening, the Taft dinner at the Music Hall. and it suddenly oc- cured to him during the afternoon that he was a member of the Yale corpora tlon so he hurried up to Woodbridge Hall where the meeting was being held It was his first appearance at a slmi- lar meeting and it was likewise the first time a Harvard man had ever sal with a Yale corporation.
 The Yale charter was made up witl the provision that two of the regular members of the corporation of the in stitution should be the governor ant the lieutenant- governor. as they chang ed from time to time, of the state O Connecticut.
 In the past the governors of the stat have been not infrequently present a the meetings of the corporation. Tn lieutenant- governors have been fey who have heen to these meetings bu there have been ones that went.

It wa easily as good as winning footbal game of two. he said with smile tha stretched from one ear to the other 0 the Lake region.

DOMINICAN DEBT
Satisfactory Settlement Accomplished
 by United States Agents.

Washington, Feb 1.-The settlement Of the debts of the Dominican Republic Is rapidly nearing a completion which Is regarded as satisfactory 10 poth debtor and creditors and which reflects favorably on the agents of the United States government who have been in- strumental in carrying out the basis of settlement. The recent financial dls- turbance is given as the cause Tor the abandonment of the plan first agreed upon whereby a New York banking firm was to purchase the bonds of the republic in sufficient amount to satisfy the creditors. In place of this plan, the creditors themselves have now agreed to take these bonds as payment of so per cent. of their claims. while the remaining 20 per cent. is to be paid in cash from the s4,OOO,0OO which has been accumulated, being b5 per cent. Of the customs receipts of the republic, and now on deposit in New York.
 Besides this adjustment. the credi- tors of the republic have consented to a reduction of their claims to an amount approximating 50 per cent. This reduces the total indebtedness from s3o.OooOGo to s17,0o0,0o0.

SYMPHONY IS WEAK
New York Orchestra, Emascu- lated, Disappoints at
 Concert.
N0RDIcA IN POOR VOICE
Famous Singer Does Not Display Dual. ities of Seven Years
 Ago.

"Nordica, Damrosch and the New York symphony orchestra" certainly proved itself to be the sesame that opened the purse strings of the music lovers of New Haven, judging from the large audience that greeted them last night at the Hyperion.
 However, 'the hills look green from the distance" While parts of the pro- gram were very satisfying, there were features that caused. in a great many quarters, a well-justified comparison between the price of the tickets and the satisfaction received from the per formance as a whole,
 It is certainly a very doubtful ex- pertinent to attempt playing Wagner with an amputated orchestra, as was the case last night. The woodwind and the brasses were all that could be desired in both quality and quantity sbut the strings were lamentably weak in numbers and the inevitable conse- quence was distressing lack of bal dnCe Mlllln Il6 bf tlltSti o its7NiA
 The only orchestra numbers that were artistically satisfying were: Wal thers prize song from Die Meister- singer prelude to "Lohengrin, !. Rhapsody, No. 1, by Liszt, and in lesser degree. the overture to oberon by Weber,
 To play the Tannhauser overture and "The Ride of the Valkyries' with about one half of the necessary strings and in a city where nothing short of a finished performance is expected IS bravery that deserves another name.
 Damroseh and his orchestra are al ways welcome in New Haven, but let it'not be forgotten that we want full measure"
 1. Mime. sNordicq sang with her usual artistic finish, although her voice last night did not display the lovely quail ities by which she charmed and even 1 thrilled her audience here some seven years ago.
 She was received with great enthu- slasm, however, and had to respond with several encores.
 The program was as follows: Prelude to Die Meistersinger.
 Prize Song from Die Meistersinger Prelude and finale from Tristan ant
 Isolde.
 Ride of the Valkyries.
 Sounds of the Forest, from Siegfried Prelude to Lohengrin.
