VESSELS EXCLUDED.
American Steamers Cut Off From
 Canada Coasting Trade.

Ottawa, Ont, June 23-American vessels will hereafter be excluded from the coasting trade of Canada on the Pacific. For some years the coasting laws of Canada have been suspended as far as the Pacific coast is concerned owing to the fact that there was not enough Canadian and British tonnage to fill trade require ments. American boats have done a large and profitable business between Seattle and Nome. carrying between such ports as Vancouver, Victoria and Skagway. It has been decided by the government that there is enough British and Canadian tonnage on the coast to look after the trade, and the same coasting regulation has been put into force for the Pacific coast as ap- plies to the Atlantic. After August 1. Canadian goods cannot be carried in bond from an American port on the place to Canadian port unless the water carriage is by Canadian or British registered vessel.

Cleveland, O., June 2S.-James s.

AFRAID OF BRYAN.
Hartford Boomer for Taft Says There
 Is a Stiff Fight Ahead.

There seems no possible doubt of the nomination of Mir Bryan at Den- yer next months, says the Hartford Courant.
 Those who have kept the closest canvass declare that already he has passed the two-thirds point with several counties to hear from" It is to be Taft or Bryan and it's no walk over at that. Indeed, 1t is to be a question whether the defeat of Bryan at Denver wouldn't help the republi- can ticket more than his nomination.
 New England is mighty fine part of the United States. In our modest opinion, it's the best corner of the earth. But 1t isn't the whole earth by long shot. If Bryan is the can didate, New England will be solid for Taft. That may be set down as a fact. There'll be struggle, the usual development of democratic hope and republican scare, and then a count of the votes that will show Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts, Rhode Island and Con- necticut all together and all for Taft.
 But there's vast stretch of coun- try over beyond the Hudson river. The far west has become q mighty factor in the national life. Bryan will appeal to it with all his powers of persuasion, and he directs his ap- peals to diseontent. Economists tell us that discontent is the stimulus to work, to activity, to ambition, to progress. The value of things is de- termined by the desire of those who haven't them to possess them. That's all right as a. proposition in eco- monies, but in the hands of a dema- gogue that same disconten. is a very dangerous element He'll work it for all that it's worth.
 It is foolish to consider the man beaten, if he is nominated. There's a stiff fight ahead, just as serious for us as if We were on the firing line.

 dy Case.

The reports of the heads of depart ments of Yale university printed to- day bring out some interesting points. Dean Wright of the academic depart ment gives figures for the entrance examinations which show the ex- aminations are becoming progressive ly harder and the standard of exami- nation being raised. Additional sta- tistics are given to show the exeel- lence of the scholarship of students who were fitted in Connecticut high schools. A much larger proportion than of other preparatory schools made the first division in scholarship and their conditions were also fewer. Four members of the freshman class who came from the Waterbury high school all made the advanced divis- ion. The dean also gives returns to show candidates for admission are choosing more commonly than ever equivalents for Greek but that the students who take Greek are the best scholars. The dean has also compiled figures showing the large extent of Sunday absenteeism in the academic department but thinks that the new plans adopted by the faculty will remedy them.
 The report of Director Chitten- den of the scientific school shows that duringt he last 10 years the New Haven high school has entered 306 students. liar ford high school 6, Bridgeport 32, and New Brit ain 29. He goes exhaustively into an analysis of figures showing that Connecticut high school scholars are superior both to those coming from high schools without the state and from private schools within the state.
 The director of the forest school announces the purchase os a new farm of 750 acres at Milford. Pa. for the field work of the school. The head of the bureau of self hslp gives figures showing that inside and out side the university last year S2I4.- i49 were earned by self-help stu dents.
 President HadIey's report says: "The relations between the two un- dergraduate departments ksSe passed through three stages. First their problems were treated as entirely This lasted until about 1880. Then they were regarded as representing rival the ories of edueation- But cs time has gone on vc are fortunately uHtgrow- ing this conception. also The idea of competition is giving place more and more 10 the idea of cooperation.
