The result of the games -was a surprise, as It "wasr ex pected the contest would be very close. A previous comparison of the records of both teams showed little difference be tween the average performance of the two. It turned out, however, that Prince ton's men were -in excellent condition, and put up by far the best work they have done this season. Horton and Coleman, of Princeton, after tieing for first place In the pole vault, vaulted off to win the point, which was gained by Horton by a vault of 11 feet lit Inches.

Boal broke the record in the hammer throwing bj 14 feet, his best throw being 144 feet 2 Inches. The track at Soldier's Field was used today for the first time. It is not as fast as the old track on Holmes' Field, but It was at its best this afternoon. On ac count of the strong wind "blowing down the stralght-away course, the Judges de cided to run all the events which did not use the circular track in the opposite direction from usual, so that the athletes could run wth the wind, and not against it. Johnson, of Yale, cleared 11 feet In the pole vault, twice In succession, but each time knocked the bar off with his hands. His vault of 10 feet 8 inches is, how ever, a record. Every trial In the 100 yard dash was run In record time 10 1-5 seconds Richards, of Yale, winning the final heat In that time. In the two-mile run, not a single Yale man was able to finish. Richardson beat Footo out by about three feet in the fast time of 9:57 3-5. This is a new record, as the event wa9 put on the card for the first time this year.

He showed that he was just as speedy and as clever as ever, and he made a show of Jeffries right up to the last two rounds. He was fighting the big fellow carefully, and made him look like a nov ice for an hour and 20 minutes. What beat him was Jeffries' youth and strength and heavier weight."

First Practical Step Toward Its Set tlement. CHICAGO, May 12. A conference which is regarded as the first practical step toward settlement of the labor war was held last evening between the attorneys for the Building Contractors' Council and representatives of the unions Involved In the. tie-up in the building industry. Though thametng was Informal and prelimi nary, If was not without results. Men IJartlolpatlng In It expressed the opinion that It had smoothed the way for nego tiations that would effect a hasty termina tion of the strife. Tho meeting was held behind closed doors. The union men present were E. A. Davis, for tha Hoisting Engineers; George W. Geary, for the Bridge and Structural Ironworkers; William Martin, for the Stationary Engineers; Luke Grant, for hte Carpenters: Gus Hoyt, for the Plas terers, and Thomas Lynch, for the Archi tectural Ironworkers. Attorney Knight, representing the Building Contractors' Council, informed the ktbor men that the contractors were willing- to confer with the representatives of the Individual unions, and arrange for a settlement of the trQublo regardless of the Building Trades Council, the final terms of the set tlement with regard to the Building Trades Council to be determined after ward. The only stipulation was that the par ties to the conference should not be pres ent as representatives of the central la bor organization. More conferences are to be held soon. If the sentiment for mutual conciliation continues, it may be expected that as a reeult of the peace ne gotiations joint arbitration committees of the bosses and their locked-out workmen will be called together and will effect an understanding which will make the labor war a thing of history. Meanwhile Mayor Harrison Is bent on making another effort toward bringing the labor war to a close. His new plan to bring the contesting sides together con templates ignoring the Building Trades Council and the Building Contractors' Council for a time. Honolulu a Clean Port. SAN FRANCISCO, May 12.

The transport Hancock, with the Phil ippine Commission on board, failed for Manila, April 2S. An attempt was recently made to blow tip the residence of A. de Sauza Cana vano, the Portuguese Consul, with dyna mite. The house was considerably dam aged, but there Is no clew to the mis creants. The organization of the Republican par ty of Honolulu was begun May 2, A num ber of natives participated In the prelim inary, proceedings. A Democratic organ ization will bo formed at an. early date." WEEK- IN THE REICHS1AQ PASSAGE OF: AFRICAN STEAMER BILL OF INTEREST TO AMERICANS. Another Effort to Be Made to Pass the Lex Heinze Senator Lodce's Speech. BERLIN, May 12. This week's pro ceedings in' the Reichstag were rather, tame, but the passage of the African steamer bill is of interest to Americano, Inasmuch as the government declared Its willingness to insert 'into the contracts with this eabventloned line the same par agraph that Is already In the North Ger man Lloyd's contract, forbidding their steamers from landing agricultural pro- ducts competing with German products at German ports. The fact that a provision exists in tho Lloyd contracts for German mails was brought out clearly, because tha Agrarian leader, Cretel, without contradic tion, thanked the Imperial Chancellor, Count von Hohenlohe, for the prol0. Howoyer, practically the effect of the pro viso Is likely to be nil, because American agricultural products cannot bear the high "freight charges of fast steamers. The Centrist party of the Reichstag will make another effort to pass the so-called MAJOR-GENERAL 1 I THE. BRITISH GENERAL "WHO FORCED THE PASSAGES OF TIIE VET AND ZAND RIVERS AND CLEARED THEVAY FOR LORD ROBERTS' ADVANCE TO KROONSTAD. "Lex Heinze," which places a number of onerous restraints upon literature and art du&plto tho known disapproval of the Em peror. The Centrists, with tho Conserva tives, Intend that the bill shall be put on Its final .passage before the Summer ad journment. The opposition will again use obstruction, and if tho bill is passed, tho Bundcsrath will reject K. The German Liberal press is greatly wrought up because the Bavarian Gov ernment extradited the Austrian editor, Kordon, under an obsolete resolution of tho former German Federation of 1S54. Kordon belongs In the Tyrol, where -a court sentenced him to six weeks In Jnll for criticising the Catholic churoh. The Vosslsche Zeitung recommends that such conditions be obliterated by Bundeeratb and Reichstag legislation. The curious idea has fastened on a largo part of tho Liberal press that certain Liberals show an effuslvo willingness to pass any bills for military or naval pur poses if the Emperor will abandon his prejudice against the Liberate and sum mon their leaders to Cabinet positions and the like. Tho Tageblatt leads In exploit ing this notion, while the whole Conserva tive and Centrist press, representing tho government majority, rldlculo tho move ment. Tho semi-official Post today speaks of It as "Liberal Bysantlnism." However, it is quite certain the Emporor has been powerfully impressed by tho naval enthu siasm on the part of the Liberals, In cluding tho financial circles. The Kreuz Zeitung, In an inspired -article, discussed the Boer mission to Amer ica, saying It considers Amer'can Inter vention probable, and advises England to accept Jt and finish the, war If Eng land wishes to retain American friend ship. Lleutenont-General Breher, in the Lo kal Anzeiger, reviews recont movements in South Africa, and concludes that the Boers will continue to avoid decisive bat tles, but will inflict great damage upon moving British columns. The Turko-American Imbroglio Is un favorably criticised Jiere, tho German press holding that the object la too In significant and also that the United States is ungrateful, because It was due to the Sultan's counsel that the Moros of the Sulu archipelago did not Join the Insurgent Filipinos. The torpedo flotilla has reached Blngen, whore the officers were feted today. Tho Grand Duke of Hesse has notified Com mander Funke that Monday he will pro ceed on board the flagboat to Mayence, whero there will be a series of fetes. The prces recognizes that this flotilla is im mensely popularizing the navy. The Em peror has forbidden all German officers to participate in the Auteull and all other French races. The German sporting pre?3 approves this action, because French chnu venists would have made unpleasant, dem onstrations, possibly leading to interna tional complications. A high person In the Foreign Office, speaking with the correspondent of tho Associated Press regarding the speech of Mr. Lodge in the United States Senate yesterday, sajd telegrams exchanged be tween the Emperor and PresJdijnt Cam pos Salles show that the relations between Brazil and Germany are of the mpst cor dial character. Brazil, this official added, apprehends no danger. "If Brazil is not threatened by greater dangers than those that menace her from Germany." the official continued. "Brazilians may be quite unconcerned for the future." The Vosslsche Zeitung is the onlv even ing paper which comments on Senator Lodge's speech. This paper says: "Senator Lodge's words leave no doubt that they were aimed at Germany. One must doubt the cood will and political Intelligence of American statesmen when one of tho most respected of them still believes the fairy tale of tbe exchange of the North Schleswig for the perfectly worthless Danish Antilles, and tha fool ish babble about founding independent colonics in Southern Brazil. Do not let Americans believe they can gain the sym pathies of the world through suoh rodo-' montades. With such thoughtless speeches they can only still further discredit ,their present life and the forms In which this is embodied." A MURDEROUS ATHLETE. Killed a Batcher, Shot His "Wife, and Committed Saicide. BUTTE. Mont., May 12. Charles Paus tlen, aged about 30 years, e blacksmith helper, football player and well-known athlete, this afternoon shot and killed Alexander Tate, manager of a, butchering concern( shot And seriously wounded Mrs. Tate, and when the police went to find him he was lying dead In his room with a pistol wound la his head, having com mitted suicide. Pausteln was married at Vancouver ihree years ago. His wife sued for a divorce on the ground of cruelty. This afternoon the decree was granted. Within a few hours, Pausteln armed him self with a revolver and started for the home of the Tatcs, about two miles south of town, and about a mile beyond the slaughtering-house with which Tate was connected. The Tates bad been In town, and when they drove up to their home In their buggy, Pausteln was waiting for them. As .they alighted Pausteln walked up to them, and exclaiming, "You arc Tesponsi ble for the separation of me and my wife," began firing. Tho first shot struck Tate in the forehead and he fell dead. The next struck Mrs. Tate In the hand. The third hit her in the head, but glanced E. H. T. HUTTON. and did not petetrate the brain. She fell unconscious, and Pausteln. thinking he had killed her also, started for town. A boy coming along helped Mrs. Tate into the buggy and drove her to the slaughter house, from which place the alarm was given. The police started out to find the mur derer. The first place they went was to hl3 room in the Steele Block, where he had been living since separating from his wife. The door was forced. On the bed lay the bod7 of Pausteln. There was a bullet-hole through the Tight temple, and alongside the body lay a revolver. The Tates. so far as can be learned, had nothing to do with the family troubles of the Paustelns, except that Mrs. Pausteln and Mrs. Tate had been neighbors and friends. MARTINELLI INTERVIEWED. Detrimental Features of Modern Civ ilization. OMAHA. Neb.. May 12. Archbishop Martinelll, en route to Portland, stopped over hero and will resume his journey tomorrow. The apostolic delegate will confer the, pallium upon Archbishop Christie May 17. Speaking of the church and tho Philippines, he said: "While the advent of authority from a free country would perhaps facilitate mis sionary work in tho Islands, yet modern civilization has Its detrimental features In matters of religion." The archbishop denied the report that priests of South America and Australia would be allowed to marry, also that the church had put. a ban upon the Modern Woodmen, a secret society. He AsUed to Be Hanged. CHICAGO, May 12. "I plead guilty, and I want to be hanged," announced Lawrence E. Walsh, when he was ar raigned before Judge Baker charged with the murder of Robert W. Gilchrist. "This is a capital case and I want capital pun ishment inflicted. I killed that man, and therefore I am guilty." "Take him back J.o Jail," said Judge Baker. Walsh is believed to be mentally unbal anced. Judge Baker sent for Assistant State's Attorney McEwan. and It was de cided to let the p?ea of the prisoner rest 39 MONUMENT FUND.

It Is likely the court will enter a plea of not guilty for the defendant and that Walsh will bo tried as to his sanity. On the morning of March 21, Walsh shot and killed Robert W. Gilchrist, a bar ber, at 1764 West Twenty-second street, without cause or provocation. It Is said. Some years ago Walsh fell and Injured his head severely. He was 111 for several weeks, but apparently recovered. During the Spanish-American War he enlisted and went to Cuba. He was 111 with fever there and returned home. It was no ticed by his friends that his mental con dition was impaired. Sailings for Nome. SAN FRANCISCO. May 12. An exodus of vessels to Cape Nome began today. The Aloha and Santa Ana sailed tonight. The latter goes to Seattle, where a full list of passengers awaits her. The Charles Nelson will go out tomorrow, also to Se attle, to take on passengers.

Our commercels constantly expanding and will be content with no limit o? boundary. We must have a larger Navy. We will have commercial Interests In. every country, and we must be ready, as wo will be willing, to safeguard our In terests In all parts of tho world." In conclusion, Spooner argued that In asmuch as "the country Is defenseless and at the mercy of two armor companies," the United States ought to erect Its own armor plant without delay." The present Eituation. he declared, was Intolerable. In closing the debate. Hale, In charge of the bill, said: "I don't believe that a great need or necessity for an- Increase of the 'Navy stalks before us because of any appre hension of hostilities, either now or In the future, with the Empire of Germany. That great country Is tied to us by in dissoluble bonds in tho name of IO.OOQ.000 people of German extraction, who today make some of our best citizens. I have no fear that any danger awaits us from German Intervention, but we do need a re spectable Navy of the best .ships In tha world, and with the vale of waters be tween us and Europe nobody need fear that any nation Is likely to trouble ua." The amendments offered by Penrose to pay $343 tor the armor for the Maine, Ohio and Missouri was defeated. Armor-Prate Amendment Lost. Pettus (Dem. Ala.) offered an amend ment making It mandatory upon the Sec retary of the Navy to erect an armor plate plant at once at a cost not to ex ceeed J4.000.COO The amendment was de feated, 22 to 24, as follows: AYES.

Tillman's amendment striking out the committee's proposition to pay $445 per ton for armor, fixing the maximum price at $300 per ton, except for armor for the battle-ships Maine, Missouri and Ohio, for which $345 was to be paid, and making it mandatory upon the Secretary of the Navy to construct an armor-plate plant was defeated, 22 to 24, the vote In no re spect differing from the vote on' Pettus amendment. a ' Tillman then offe.'ed his amendment three times, each time raising slightly tho limit of tho cost of the armor. Each time the amendment was defeated. An effort was made by those opposed to the committee to prevent Its propo sition from coming to a vote. Hale made an appeal to the Senate that It should stand by the unanimous agreement to vote finally upon the armor-plate ques tion at today's session. Chandler offered an amendment pre cisely similar to those proposed by Till man. The vote on the amendment Indi cated the absence of a quorum, tho vote being 17 ayes to 23 noes. A call of the Senate was demanded, and a quorum was developed. A vote on Chandler's amend ment was taken, again resulting aye3 17, noes 22 not a quorum. "It Is evident, said Hale, "that wo can not dispose of this question today. We are at the mercy of the minority." On his motion, the Senate then, at 4:15 P. M., adjourned. ECHOES OF THE QUAY CASE Piatt Toole the Vacant Seat and Penrose Toole Piatt's. WASHLNGTON, May S. The defeat of Quay for a seat In tho United States Sen ate by the appointment of the Governor has left quite a number of sore spots. It has already been stated that a num ber of Senators felt very much ag grieved over the action of Senator Hanna, and that ho and tho Administration had been blamed for tho defeat of the Penn sylvanlan. It is no doubt truo that if tho vote had been taken two or three weeks earlier Quay would have been seat ed. The defection of such men as Hanna and Kean resulted In Quay's defeat be yond all question. It lfl quite apparent, however, that a great many Senators felt that It Quay were seated It would causo severe criticism, because, notwith standing tho apparent popularity of Quay in his own state, there are a great many people outside who did not believe that he was all that bis own people claimed for him. An Interesting fact Is that Quay's personal popularity seemed to carry more votes than tha Constitutional question. At least eight Senators voted for Quay almost wholly on personal grounds, and tho men who had the greatest regret at his defeat are those who had served with him In some of the interesting close cam paigns of the past. Among the Senators who have, as members of the National committee, had political affiliations with Quay for a great many years were Scott, of West Virginia: Carter, of Montana; Hansbrough, of North Dakota; Shoup. of Idaho, and Piatt, of New York. All of these have a distinct personal loss In Quay's defeat. Ever since this present cession of the Senate convened the name of Quay has been retained upon the desk that he occupied up- to the 4th of March, ISM. For the meet of the time this desk was occupied by his colleague. Penrose, who had a seat assigned him on the back row, with his name upon It. When any body went to Inquire whether the Quay seat had been taken, it was found that Piatt, of New York, had filed upon it. At the eame rime, Platt.retained the seat ho had always held, and Quay's uamo re mained. The next morning after the vote a glance at the desk showed that Piatt's name had eupplanted that of Quay, and Penrose's had taken tho place of Platl's on the other desk. Corbett and Q.nay. Of course, It was impossible to keep the Corbett case out of the discussion of the Quay case, and in every similar case that comes up In tho Senate where a Governor attempts to make an appointment in the event of the Legislature falling to elect, the Mantle case and the Corbett case and the Quay case will be referred to as pre- cedents, the same as the Kensey Johns case has been In all the questions of this character coming before the Senate. An Interesting feature of the references to the Corbett case Is- the fact that after one attempt to cast aspersions on the char acter of Senator Corbett, every effort in this direction was abandoned. When Sen ator Carter, of Montana, a man who had served on the National committee, allowed his personal friendship for Quay to lead him Into some extravagant remarks re garding the political situation In Pennsj I vanla and Oregon, and made some reflec tions on Mr. Corbett, and Senator Simon challenged the statements In. a ringing speech, it was made plain to the Senate that the attacks on Mr, Corbett would be resented in a most emphatic manner, and that Senators making them would "be "called to account. The result of Senator Simon's reply to Cai$er and his defense. of Mr. Corbett was that in all subse quent discussion of the case reference to Mr. Corbett was most respectful, and no man sought to cast aspersions upon the appointee of Governor Lord. Some Sena tors Intimated that "they were informed" that Mr. Corbett was responsible for the Legislative hold-up, Tiut they were very careful to say that "they were Informed." None of them, after the reply of Senator Simon, made any direct charge that Mr. Corbett was in any way responsible for the failure to elect. Consulted Senator Simon. It Is also an Interesting fact' in .this re- NERVOUSNESS OF WOMEN What Peruna Has Done for a Bril liant Actress, s MISS JULIA In ,a recent letter, to .The Peruna Medi cine Co., Miss Julia Marlowe, of New -York City, has the following to say of Peruna: " I am glad to write my eh. dorsementof the great remedy, Peruna, a a nerve tonic. I do so most heartily." Julia Marlowe. Nervousness Is very common among women. This condition Is due to anemic nerve centers. The nerve centers are the reservoirs of nervous vitality. These centers become bloodless for want of proper nutrition. Thl3 Is especially truo in the Spring season. Every Spring a host of Invalids are produced as the di rect result of weak nerves. This could be easily obviated by the use of Peruna. Feruna strikes at the root of the difficulty by correcting the dlges- gard that a number of Senators who pro posed to make speeches on the subject, men who are very much attached to Quay personally, who voted against Mr. Cor bett. when they were going to" talk gen erally consulted with Senator Simon on the subject and asked him his opinion ol the Oregon case, andi listened to sugges- tlons Jhat he had tCumaJvfisJtoj3theJiierJ.being legal, whether It occurred under Mr. TJorbeTt was in any way connectexTrtUff Conatitntion. nr -nnt h tm n with the old hold-up which resulted in the failure of the Legislature to organize. A notable Instance of this was- the tain of Senator Stewart. Stewart, pf course, is a peculiar Individual. No man is now a member of tho Senate who was a mem ber of It when ho first took the oath, back In 1S64. as one of the first Senators from Nevada. He was out 12 3 ears, but Is now a Senator, He has been one of the most cantankerous men on the silver proposition known. It was natural that when the Mantle case was up he should support the theory that the Gov ernor had the right to appoint. Mantle, of Montana; Allen, of Washington, and Beckwlth. of Wyoming, would have voted for silver on every proposition, had they been admitted. None of them were ad mitted, the Mantle case settling the other two. Corbett was a gold man, and natur ally Stewart was against him. On per sonal considerations, and the fact jthat, no matter who should be elected In Penn sylvania, he would be a gold man, Stewart was, of course, for Quay. When he made his speech ho had a little talk with Sen ator Simon before making any reference to the Corbett case, and it was observed that his talk on tnat subject (was very mild. He explained his vote on the ground that ho "thought" so and so, and made no direct assertions. Simon's Influence Growing. It is evident that since the position that Senator Simon took on the Corbett case, and his knowledge of the many complicated questions coming before the committee on judiciary, of which ho Is a member, ho has been coming to the front Jn the Senate as a man of more Import ance than first report credited him with. In fact, it is not to be denied that the personal popularity of John H. Mitchell In the Senate and the part which Senator Simon was said to ha-ve taken In defeat ing him for re-election tended to make Mr. Simon somewhat unpopular among a largo class of men in the Senate, this, It can be said, is disappearing, and the manner In which Senator' Simon -attends to business and performsthe duties which are designed to him Is giving him a place which any man of good attainments can acquire In the Senate. Of course,' some men never can get to be particularly prominent In affairs, and others may for a short time become personally popular, but ability In the end will count, and the Senate Is. generally willing to recognize able lawyers after they have had an op portunity to tost their abilities. . Dubious Chance at Cape Nome. Tho New York Engineering and Mining Journal gives the following warning against the much-boomed Cape Nome gold fields: "It looks very much as If some of the schemes for mining the shore deposits of the Nome district in Alaska are bein? prepared without counting the cost, and with very little knowledge of the true conditions. A good deal Is aald of the probable returns to be obtained by mining beyond the low-water mark, and we hear of some dredging outfits which are to be prepared for use -during the coming sea son. Now, dredging for gold is not alto gether as simple an operation In practice anywhere as It Is on paper; and at Nome it is going to foe very risky work. To try to operate a- dredge in shallow water, on a sloping beach, where there Is always a heavy swell, and where there Is no pro tection whatever from frequent and vlo- J lent storms, is not merely a difficult mat-J tor; a wrecK is only a question of time, and probably a very short time. To work by sinking shafts and running tunnels out under tho oeean bed Is-likely to be a cost ly and difficult task. The building of coffer dams and caissons which will stand against the waves will also- be cost ly. Altogether the -problem or working these shore deposits Is not an easy one, and it Is by no means certain, whether, gold will be found in quantities whleh will pay for the risks to be incurred. Peo ple should hestitate and investigate care fully before going into any of the schemes, or undertaking to transport heavy ma chinery to Nome." Lochrcn's Decision Not a Decision.

The specific question before tho court was whether a man was legally tried who was tried by a military Instead of a civil court, and Judge Lochren held that he was, and denied the writ of habeas corpus asked for because the trial was during a state of war. The trial the" Constitution, or not, there was no oc casion for tne Judge to consider whether the Constitution was automatically ex tended over Port Rico, and j:he Judge's opinion that It did is not, technically speaking, a decision of a court. One rea son why Judge Lochren thinks the Con stitution extends over the Island ''is that Congress Is legislating for It, and ho says It has no authority to legislate for any territory except territory to which tha Constitution has extended. This begs tho whole question at Issue, the question whether there Is any distinction between the United States and territories subject to the United States. The report accom panying the Porto FJcan tariff bill enum erated a number of Instances where Con gress had specifically enacted that tha constitution and certain laws of the Unit ed States should be extended over a ter ritory. For -50 years this has been tha usual form of language In such cases, and it implies that in the judgment of Con gress the Constitution, did not extend over the territory in question till Congress ex tended It This is one of those political questions on which the Supreme 'Court rarely joins issue. -with tho leglslatlva branch of the Government.
