YALE SHEFFIELD SCIENTIFIC
 SCHOOL EXAMINATIONS
Great Increase Shown in the Prelimi-
 naries-The Entering Class.

New Haven, June 27.-With the col lege entrance board examination re- turns not received as well as returns from a number of examination points the entrance examinations of the Yale Sheffield scientific school show the great increase in preIninaries from 3S6 last year to 61O in the exa nina tions just ended. The final examina- tions this year have been taken by 430 candidates as compared with 406 last year. The September examina- tions are yet to come.
 The indications are that the enter ing class this year will be somewhat more than 400, as compared with 364 last year. The large increase, espe- cially in the preliminaries, is supposed to be partly due to the return of pros perity in the country, but much more to the new rule by which preliminary candidates are credited with any study passed. while last year they had to pass in five subjects before securing a certificate. In order to pass, how ever, in any subject this year. they have to receive a recommendation in it from their preparatory school. Next year the school will charge a fee of s5 for entering these preliminary ex- aminations

SPECULATION IS KEENER THAN EVER
One Rumor Is that the Insurgents" Have Come and Seen But Did Not Go Away Conquerors-other Out and.Out Insurgents Booked to Meet the Ex-Presdent This Week After His Return from Boston.

The train pulled out and so the group of interviewers hoped on with the senator and rode to the next sta tion.
 Did we talk politics?" he replied to the first question We did" and he emphasized the affirmation
 We talked of the legislation of the present session of congress" he con tinued, from the attitude of those members of the republican party whom the newspapers are pleased to call insurgents"
 Gan you go into details ?''
 "No I prefer that they come from Sagamore Hill. am very much pleas ed with the result of my visit with Colonel Roosevelt;s very much pleased, indeed
 The senator paused for moment, recalling the happenings of the after noon. Suddenly the smile left his face for the first time, and he said, impressiyely
 T want to tell you that Colonel Roosevelt is the greatest living Amer ican. and,'' he added, slowly and sig nifcantly, "he is in fighting trim"
 Roosevelt Receives Interviewers.
 An hour later the colonel received the interviewers, who told him just what Senator LaFollette said about him and their meeting The colonel smiled as though he liked it.
 T think there is nothing I can add to what the senator has said" he commented. His face was inscruta- ble. He gave no sign of what was in his mind.
 Political Speculation Keen.
 Speculation among Oyster Bay poli- tieians is keener than ever because of today's occurrences. One story going the rounds is that the Insurgents have come and seen but have not con duered Yet there is another group of equally positive ones who insist that the colonel has shown clearly by his acts that he is veering toward the radicals.
