COLUMBIA SOPHOMORES DINE.
Br Itratacsm Tber Mucceed la Binding Inter
ruptlen by the Freshmen.
The sophomoro class of Columbia University,
to the number of almost 150, hod its class din-
ner at tho Hotel Marlborough last evening, un-
' molested by the freshmen, who were blissfully
' Ignorant of tho whole proceeding. In a word,
they wero fooled, and thus culminates the live-
T licst season of freshman-sophomore contests
A Columbia has known in years.
If All fall tho classes have clashed. At first
l the sophomores wero tho victors, but in a couple
I of weeks the freshtcs began to walk off with
I everything. They tied In tho cano rush, won
) the cano spree, the tug-of-war and the football
I match, had their pictures taken unmolested on
1 the library steps and hoodwinked tbs sophs as
to thedato of tholr dlnnor. Then the sophs re
taliated by koeplng about a Sdozen men away
i from the 1001 dinner. Later they thwarted
their rivals in an attempt at kidnapping. Last
night'B banquot ends the feud.
The freshmen understood that tho skirmishing
always ends up before the holidays. Accord
ingly thcyirelaxcdllbcir vlgllanco and they were
caught napping. In arranging for last night's
dinner some ambitious sophs thought that it
would be nice to havo young Stapes, the Vice
President of the freshmen class, graco their fes
tive board, so the)' lay in wait for blm with a
k cab at 8 o'clock just n fow doors from his homo
on Forty-first street near Sixth avenue. They
nabbed him, but he howled and kicked so that
three policemen interfered and released the cap
tive. The toasts at the banquet were as follows:

The committee of representative Republicans
of tho Ninth and Twenty-second wards In Brook
lyn, which was appointed a few weoks ago to
devise soma plan to establish harmony In the
organization, has adopted this resolution:
"Iltsolrcd, That we recommend to the delegates
to tbo County Committee from tlioio wards the
advocacy In that committee of a careful revision
of the by-laws and the adoption of means to pro
mulgate Information as to tho time and
place of election district association meetings In
tho county of Kings, with a view of Increasing
tho membership of the local Republican organi
sation. "Jtctolted, That we urge upon each Individual
election district association the Importance of
Increasing Its membership to the end that those
in sympathy with tho principle" of the Republi
can party bo represented In the various nomi
nating conventions." ,. ,
The new Republican County Committee will
meot for organization next Tuesday night, and
It Is probable that Walter D. Atterbury. tho
Twenty-third ward leader, will be elected
Chairman by a practically, solid vote. .Samuel
H. Donnelly, President of Typographical Union
No. 0. who is a delegate from tho Fourth ward,
has announced himself a candidate for tho place,
but he has only a slender backing. The Worth
element In thocommlttee proteusc to be taking
no Interest in the election or officers, but there
Is no doubt that It will bo roady to make trouble
should an opportunity of doing so bo presented.
Although the Committee of Nino, which has
supervision of tho affairs of the Republican or-
Sanitation In tbo borough of Rrooklyn, has In
orsed Col. A. E. Iatnh for the place on the
United States District Court bench made va
cant by the doath or Judge Asa W. Tenny, the
majority of tho lenders are said to favor John J.
Allen, the former United States Commissioner.
It is said that Col. Lamb did not show any
special activity in behalf of Oen. Tracy In the

SrniGUBE, N. Y Jan. 4. Last night, after a
fight lasting from early In the ovonlng till 3:30
A. M., the Democratic minority of eight mem
bers In tho Common Council beat out the eleven
Republican members and reelected Frank
Matty, Democrat, President of the Council. The
manoeuvre by which this result was accom
plished would be called ballot box stuffing but
for tho fact that the Syracuse Aldermen still
cling to prlmltlvo methods and " stuff tho hat "
instead. The fun began immediately after the
Council was called to order by City Clork M. Z.
Haven, who refused to recognize a Republican
Alderman on tho floor, and awarded tho tempor
ary Chairmanship to Alderman Howard Lincoln,
for whom eight votes ucre cast as against
eleven for E. A. Hill, the Republican candidate.
At this tho Republican members left the cham
ber, but thoy returned later, and balloting for
a Presldentbogan.
Tbo contest was between Eugene J. Mack,
Republican, and Frank Matty. Tho balloting
contlnuod until 3:18 A.M., every ballot being
declared void on account or an oxcess cast by
tho Democratlo members for Matty. When
tho seventy-seventh ballot was reached tho
Democrats, finding that such tactics availed
nothing, manipulated the ballot further, and
the result was declared Matty 10, Mack 0, and
Matty was declared elected amid wild uproar.
To-day tho elovon Republican members of the
Council went bofore a notary and Individually
mado affidavit that upon the soventy-sevonth
ballot they voted for E. J. Maok. Tho election
of Matty will be contested. Mayor McOulro,
City Clerk Haven. Corporation Counsel James
K. Newell, and other Democratic leaders are
charged by the Republican members with com
plicity in tho deal.

SonEXECTADT, N. Y Jan. 4. Ever since the
recent Democratlo landslide In this city, which
changed a Republican majority of three in the

three, the Democrats have been engaged In a
fierce faction fight for tho offices, the Irish De
mocracy of the Third ward being the leading

determined that the Third ward, should have
only proportionate representation.
When tho annual meeting was called this
evening tbree members from the Third ward
left the moeting. thereby giving tbe Republicans
an opportunity to form a combination and con
trol tho appointments. The Republicans reap

Tbe result of the conference Is not known, bnt
It Is believed that the board succeeded In smooth

The Government, however, seems to fear that
a rupture Is yet possible, though the question
will be shelved until the arrival of Prince Henry

Dekun, Jan. 4. The Cologne Oatette assorts
that negotiations for nn Anglo-Chinese loan
have been In progress In London since Thursday
last. A Chinese land tax is proposed as security
for tho loan, bat the British negotiators are de
manding In addition n territorial concession to
Great Britain.
London, Jan. 4. The report gained consider
able credence on the Stock Exchange to-day that
tbe British Government baa agreed to guarantee
a Chlneso loan ot 10,000,000.
Tho British squadron Is reported off the Isl and
of Chusan, on the east coast of China.
Tho position of tho Chinese loan negotiations
has thus far been nothing more than conjectu
ral. Confirmation of the assertion made by the
Cologne QazMt that negotiations are In prog
ress for an Anglo-Chinese loan cannot be ob
tained in London or elsewhere.
A despatch from Borlln states that M. Roth
stein, a St. Petersburg financier, has been ne
gotiating for 500,000,000 marks In Berlin. He
left that city yesterday, believing that success
was Insured.
On the other hand opinion In Vienna discredits
tho Idea that the conclusion of the loan Is any
where Imminent. It is believed In the Austrian
capital that the Cologne Qazttte't statement Is
a semi-official "feeler."
The PoUtUche Corrapondenr, Indeed, con
tends that the negotiations In Paris are still
going on satisfactorily. This, however, Is very

Into the rumor of the Prince's death. He met
Count von Rantzau, tho Prince's son-in-law, and
his two sons near the Prince's house.
Apologizing for accosting him on the road,
the nowspapor man presented his card. Count
Von Rantzau glanced angrily at the bit of paste

"Clear out, I can't bo cross-questioned by all
sorts ot vagabond literary fellows. Get out,"
and he pointed with his cane toward the park
boundaries.
The journalist, who is prominent and es
teemed, with difficulty checked an angry reply.
With a view to the main object of his visit he
explained that he came to submit an important
telegram, which would certainly interest the
Prince. Count von Rantzau answered:
"I tell you again to get out. I don't want
to see any telegram," and he then hurried away
spluttering insulting remarks.

A concensus of opinion among the legislators

Elizabeth, N, J Jan. 4. It was reported
here to-day that Henry D. Poolo of this city had
been takon prisoner by soma miners In Montana
and bad been turned over to the authorities ot
Butte.
On what charge Poole was detained the met
sago did not state, but It Is thought to be In con

affairs.
Poolo, with a number of Elizabethans, was
Induced about a yoar ago to Invest In a gold
mining schemo. Thomlno Is at Pony, small
