Five hundred Yalo students, asslstsd by a

from Arlstophranes, following with three
long Yale's nine "Itaha," a Yale and "Mo

front of the stand and a dozen policemen
fought It from tho platform. There were
cheers for tho nomine!, but from tho right
of the stand tho students repeatedly broke
forth with their yell, and for 23 minutes it
was impossible for Mr. liryan to make him
self heard.
Joseph II. Sargent, the Democratic: nom

yells of the students. This lusted altogether
for l't minute-, and when nt Inst the noise

Ilryan started to speak. As ho proceeded

DUN'S REVIEW.
Th Inflow of Oold Olvei Too To
Trade.
R. O. Dun A Co.' review of trado asys:
A very moderate and yet distinct Improve
ment Is seen, no longer only In the buying of
materials, which continues and stiffens
prices, but also In orders for products of
tome Industries In money markets, and In
exd'iru of staples. It Is as yet little moro
than a step toward better things, but bus al
ready started some Important works nnd
prompted a few considerable contracts. Con
tinuing arrivals of gold have raised the treas
ury reserve above 125,000,000, strengthen
ing the banks and relaxing the stringency In
commercial leans, sc thai at about 1 p r cent
lower rates more business wns done than In
three previous weeks. Hoarding Is no longer
reported, but some hoards are being unlock
ed. The movement of cronscontinues larcc
and purchases for exports have advanced
prices or prevented depression. While the
gain In working force is not great, It seems
clear that for the llrst time iu many mouths
there Is some net gain.
An Important change Is the gcurnl ad
vance Iu produce markets, especially iu
wheat, which roe sharply on Thursday and
Friday, closing 5,'.,c higher for tho week,
with much buying, apparently on foreign
account. Reports of the crops abroad were
supposed to be tho chief cause, as visible sup
plies In this country increased largely, I ut
for the first time since July 1 western rc
cepts fell below" those of the same week last
year. They are still lurif", and for the first
quarter of tue crop venr thus far have Is-en
52,721. 15 bushels, against 10, II 4,.1."I last year,
a gain of about 110 per cent and It Is concei
vable, but cannot be considered quite pro
bn' I" that ueli r-eelpts have come from a
crop smaller than la-1 year's, although prices
average llt'4e lower in July and ti.Sc lower in
August than last year's In September because
of thi' sharp decline then, and as much ad
vance now.
Cotton advanced an eighth a week ago,
but lost throe-sixteenths, nod with full re
ceipts might have gone farther, but for the
roiimnt1oii of work by several Important
nulls. St ecnliitlv'e buying of wool does not
abate, sales for four weeks having been 21.
isj4,4i)0 pounds against 2:i,7.'iS,!)70 pounds
last year, and ai.O;M,ooo pounds in ls'.i.', but
no gain l:i prices results. The snh-s are
largely for cm,h and by holders who have
maturing note to meet, though some have
ln'cn for export In spite of a decline of 5 per
cent iu the London opening. A few of the
Wooh'u mills are resuming, tho belated do
maud for heavy goods constituting most i f
the gain visible, but manufacturers show
confidence that more goods will be wanted
when the future Is more clear. Finished
products of Iron meet more inquiry.

COLLEGE MILITARY SERVICE.
War Department Kakot Improvement! in
Details of Military Instraotlon.
There will probably bo some changes In
the regulations relating to the detail ot army
officers as professor of military science and
tactics at colleges. '
The recommendations now before .secre
tary Lament will be of special Interest to
l'eiinsylvnnla State college, Allegheny col
legil, at Meadvllle; the Chester Military col
lege, (trove Cltv colleve. Olrard colit'L-n and
Franklin and Marshall college, at Lancaster
the colleges In I'ennsylvanln whore nrmy
officers are stationed gratuitously by the de
partment. The Institutions aro to be classified In tbe
order of merit, aud It will probably lx stipu
lated as one of tbe conditions of the detail
that the military department be placed on
the same footing as other departments, nnd
that proficiency In tbe military course be
ii. nun nu incident ot graduation ami diploma.
It Is suggested nifo that a prescribed sys
tem of records aud books be kept by the
military processors. Details to colleges may
also be limited to such institutions as can
show 100 cadets in the military department,
as It Is not considered worth while to send
an officer away from his regiment for four
years to give Instructions to any less attend
ance, A more careful consld-rntlon of an ofllcer's
fitness for the work Is hereafter to tie a fea
ture of the selection. Ulllcers will b requir
ed to report to the college authorities or to
the war department their Inability to main
tain good order ami discipline.
It Is recommended that cadet officers and
fiou-comnilss.onetl oflleers In college battal
ions bo selected as at West Point, that Is.thut
the o!loers bo chosen Irom the first and
highest class, and tho iion-eomnilssloned of
lleers from the second or third classes, by
the president of the college fpon the recom
mendation cf the military instructor.

by a crowd collected by the foundry people,
and were in u fair way to be captured nt

buggy in whiou tho men were riding broko
down, nnd as they were about starting to es
cape ou foot, Frank Nyholt, a milkman,
came along. The two men jumped Into his
wagon und demnnded that he vacate. Ou
refusing, they shot him Iu tho leg. pitched
him out and drove away at a furious pace.
Ulllcers from brighten police station were
soon on tho scene, nnd started iu pursuit of
the Hying robbers la a patrol wagon. Tho
men wero lost sight of, however, but tho
police, after following in thi) direction iu
which they wre supposed to have lied,
found, nearly two miles from the foundry,
tho milk wagon, which had also broken
down. The southwestern oolloe district was
notillod and a largo detail of olllccrs were
sent out.
There wns flvo men In tho office of tho
foundry when tho holdup occurred. It Is
claimed by one of these that tho men wero
former employes. Uue of the robbers was
fashionably dressed, while tho other was
rather shabbily dressed In a suit of brown.
