Sportsmen Backing and Filling.
LONDON. Dec. 3.-Mr. Ball telegraphs to the
Sportsman that hi, lis only authorized to make
match in accordance with Hanlan's instruc-
tons, namely, to row for 9200 to elOO0 side
on the Thames or $500 with $50 for expenses
on the Tyne. III Boyd chooses to go to Toron-
to be can row there for $500 and will be allow
ed ESQ for expenses. In default OF the adop-
ton of any of these suggestions the original
match for G200 or more on the Thames can be
concluded. Hanlan will not charge expenses
in the latter case. Boyd has decided that If
Hanlan will not row for not less than $500, he
will try TO raise the money rather than allow
the match to lapse. He thinks Hanlans re-
quest for an allowance of ESQ for expenses is
unreasonable, as he (Boyd) will have to pay his
own training expenses
Trouble Between Austria and Roumania.
BUCHAREST, Dec. 1.-The Austrian Govern
ment telegraphed Yesterday to the Austrian
minister to suspend all personal relations with
the Roumanian cabinet until the return from
st. Petersburg to Vienna OF Count Kalvoka.,
Hungarian minister for foreign affairs
and to transact his business with the Rouman-
ian ministry by letter only.
This action is caused by the decisive Lam
guage OF King Charles in his speech from the
throne at the opening of the Roumanan Par
lament on the 9th of November. Then his
majesty insisted upon the rights OF Roumania
to control the navigation OF the Danube.
The Romaun (semi fofficial organ) declares
that Roumania will never swerve from the
course proclaimed in the speech from the throne
namely that lin Roumanian waters the river
police must be carried on By Roumanian Off
Gals. II says it trusts that the legitimacy OF
Roumania's demand and the equity of Europe
will recall Austria to more just and friendly
sentiments.
Body Snatching in Scotland
LONDON, Dec 3-The theft of the body of the
Earl of Crawford and Bacarries from the NOR
tuary chapel of Dunnecht House, Aberdeen,
has created great sensation. 1t is believed
| that it was effected in May last, before the
| vault was cioeed, and that the covering slabs
have only now been disturbed SO as to bring
the fact to the knowledge of the relatives and
make them enter into negotiations for the re-
covery of the body. TIE agent of the estate
received letter in May stating that the body
/ had been stolen, but regarded it as hoax. He
did nothing to ascertain the truth of the story
1t is suggested that the thieves are from Flor
ence where the body was embalmed previous
to its removal 10 Scotland. A laborer has been
arrested near Dunnecht in connection with the
| outrage. rsa
