DIR. Burtsell objected to the judge, saying
he was biased against the accused. DR..
Smith asked DR.. Burtsell what he proposed
to do then. Dr. Burtsell replied; "You
know the law. We must select two per-
sons who will act as referees in this ques-
ton and decide whether or not DR.. O'Con-
nor is to be the Judge"
DR.. Burtsell selected Rev. Patrick F.
McSweeney, of St, Bridget's church, and
DR.. Smith chose Mgr Doane. These two
will meet on Thursday and hear the argu-
ment against Dr. O'Connor and then re-
port to Bishop Wigger. If the two referees
cannot agree they may choose another
and then make a majority report.
To obviate all difficulty DR.. Smith sug-
gested that the matter be tried before Mgr.
Satolli. He said Bishop Wigger was will
ing that this step be taken. Father Corri-
gan said he had requested this at first, but
Bishop Wigger would not consent. Now he
would not accept the bishops suggestion.

Proposed International Boat Race Be
tween Great College Crews.
CHICAGO, Dec. 1I-One of the most in
teresting possibilities of the Worlds fair
year is boat race for the championship of
the world between the winning crew of the
OXford-C Cambridge boat race and the win
ming crew of the Harvard-Yale race. 1t is
proposed that this race take place in Chi
cago or near it, and already the two great
American colleges have had considerable
correspondence with the English universe
ties The matter has been brought to the
attention of Chicago men in the way of an
inquiry as to what sort of a course may be
had in Chicago.
A. G. Spalding says, "The event would,
in my opinion, prove to be the greatest
athletic event ever held anywhere in the
world"

Shingles Coming Around Cape Horn.

shingles Coming Around Cape Horn.
An experiment of interest to the shin
gle manufacturers will shortly be made
by Lewis q Crane, of Seattle. An ex-
permental cargo of shingles is to be
shlpped by vessel around Cape Horn to
fhlladelphia, there to be distributed to
dealers IN the New England states.
While the cargo will be almost wholly
composed OF red cedar shingles, some of
the best grades Of fir, spruce and cedar
lumber will be sent. Messrs. Lewis &,
Crane stated that if the shipment proved
successful other cargoes would be sent
around the Horn to New York and
Philadelphia, making those cities the
Atlantic coast distributing points for
Washington lumber and shingles.
There is difference of opinion among
lumbermen as to whether a venture OF
this kind will pay. Many believe that
freights insurance and handling will
eat up the profits, others say the expert
ment will pay handsomely. If nothing
else Is done than to establish a distribut
ing center in the far east for Washing
ton shingles, the benefit to be derived
from an eastern outlet will in time more
than make up for any loss.-Puget Sount

NEW YORK, Dec 14-E. Ellery Ander-
son, president of the Reform club, sent a
letter to Speaker Crisp explaining or apollo
gi2ing for the alleged insult to the speaker
at the Reform club dinner when he was
not asked to speak after he had prepared
an address and made it public. Mr.. An
derson said it was a personal letter, but
Mr.. Crisp was at liberty to make it public
if he wanted to. Mr.. Anderson admitted
that he had been informed on Saturday
afternoon by an irresponsible party that
Mr.. Crisp had prepared speech. But"
he added, 81 paid no attention to it fur
ther than to ask Congressman Warner if
he had extended a verbal invitation to Mr..
Crisp to make IA speech at the dinner He
said he had not and then did not feel that
the club was responsible if Speaker Crisp
had gone ahead and prepared speech"
Mr. Anderson said that the Reform club
was trying to win men over to its views on
the tariff. He had since read the speech of
Mr.. Crisp and was glad to learn that the
latter's views We're in accordance with
those entertained by the club Mr. Ander-
son declared that if he had received any in
timation that Mr.. Crisp wanted to speak
he would certainly have called upon him

And Il IL this which made the recent
performance Of the Duke Of Cumber-

he was still king Of Hanover and would
not accept the Guelph fund, so called,
