Cornell VIII Not Protest in Case
OF an International Race.
CHICAGO, Dec. &c. = Commodore
Charles L. Brown. of the Cornells,
denied today that he had said Cornell
would enter a protest in case the ques-
ton OF international championship
honorS should be considered in a race
between Oxford and the winner of the
Yale-Harvard race.
Il have not been interviewed upon
this subject said Mr.. Brown today,
nor have l given expression to any
such statements or ideas as were con-
tanned in the published dispatches. The
author of the report has drawn largely
upon his Imagination for subject, as
well as for facts. The true state of
affairs is this: Should Oxford OF Cam
bridge come to America for the purpose
of rowing one or more races, which,
however, L think very unlikely for
some time to come at least. Cornell
will be satisfied to send i'll her request
to compete for honorS. and will trust
to her record, unparalleled as it is in
this country, to secure a race for her.
Under no circumstances would she per-
NIT any such Boosting and unsports-
manlike statements to emanate from
high official circles as were attributed
to me. We hope some day to have the
whole aquatic world recognize the merit
possessed by the Cornell crews, due to
Mr.. Courtney's stroke and method of
training; but we do not consider it a
polite nor gentlemanly course to at
tempt to rise to such a position by
haunting any sister institution of learn
ing with charges OF coWardice. Such a
course could not be in accordance with
the spirit for which athletics should ex-
ist in colleges"

The Denver newspapers unite in the
demand that the legislature shall imme-

call on Jan. 10. Following are the COM
ments of the newspapers on the gov

Republican rep. THE mere fact that
the governor has made fool of himself
and laughing stock of the state in this
matter should be a sufficient reason
why The legislature should repudiate his
folly in the most striking way possible
as soon as it can do so.
News (Pop.)-The call has been issued
In defiance of an overwhelming public
sentiment, and embraces almost every
conceivable subject for legislative ac-
ton. The governor craftily pits local
cupldity against state credit. and hopes
that honest conviction, heretofore re-
corded with great unanimlty, will sur
render to the bait.
Times (Rep.)-The governor has un-
doubtedly called the special session in
direct opposition to the wishes and senti-
ments of the great majority of the
citizens OF the state.

POLICE FAKE A HAND.
An Ivy City Bocknaker Placed
Under Arrest.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 26.-About 500
persons were in attendance at the wv
City track this afternoon, when racing
was resumed after recess of nearly
two weeks. 1t was positively known
that all bookmakers attempting to do
business in the tent would be arrested,
yet it was announced that twelve books
would be opened. When the hour ar
rived for them to go on, however, only
one man took the block, the others
having decided not to sacrifice them
selves. Henry Bennington, of Brooklyn,
n. -, opened his book under the name
OF the Detroit club, anC sold LOG tickets,
bringing III about 500. Four detectives
and three officers in citizens
clothes surrounded the stall while
the bets were being made, and
just as the flag fell starting the first
race. the detectives closed in on the
men and notified them that they were
under arrest. The raid caused little or
no excitement, as everybody understood
that it was part Of the programme.
The police took charge of the cash box,
sheet and tickets, which, together with
Bennington and his clerks. were loaded
into patrol wagon, and carried them
10 headquarters. Shortly afterward
they were taken before Judge Miller, of
the police court, and released in bonds
of $1,000 each. They will appear in
court tomorrow, but it is not known
now soon the case will be decided. 1t
is rumored that the district attorney
Is anxious to secure an indictment
at Gnce, and to that end will
prevent the case coming up before
Jddge Miller if possible If, however
the case is heard by Judge Miller it is
probable that decision will be reached
much sooner, and in the meantime the
racing will continue. After the first
race, and the arrest of Bennington, in
terest subsidized, and the remaining five
races dragged YEARLY. There were
plenty Of bOokmakerS on hand, but none
seemed anxious to open in the face OF
the overwhelming police presence.
President EEgeman stated this evening
that the persons arrested would be dis
charged by Judge Miller tomorrow and
thereafter until final decision could be
secured as to the legality of racing at
Ivy City. The racing was very good,
as the track was in excellent condition.
and every one seemed to be doing his
best TO pick Off the purses.

ORIGIN OF ANTHRACITE.
Possible Solution of One of the
Mysteries of Science.

Possible Solution of One of the
Mysteries of Science.
Independent.
The main difference between anthra-
cite and bltuminous coal is that the
former is devoid of volatile matter
Heretofore the theory generally &C
cepted to account for this difference
was that presented half century ago
by Prof. Rodgers while conducting the
first geological survey of Pennsylvania.
Observing that the anthracite beds lay
in the eastern part of the state, In close
proximity to the Archean axis of eleva-
ton, he surmised that these coal beds
had, so to speak, been cooked" upon
the elevation of the Appalachian chain;
that is, he supposed that the heat ana
pressure accompanying the Appala-
chan elevation, acting most vigorously
near the axis, had distilled aud removed
the volatile matter of the coal bed near
est it. TO adjust the theory to increas-
ing facts, Prof. Lesley added the sup
position that the heat involved in this
theory was brought UP by conduction
when the superlncumbentla layers of rock
were extremely thick. which have since
been mainly removed by the erosive
agencies which have been active over
L
inadequacy of these theories has led
Prof. j. j. Stevenson, of the University
OF New York, to PROFOUND another and
simpler theory, which was ably de-
Tended by him at the recent meeting of
the Geological Society of America. He
would account for the lack of voatire
matter in anthracite coal by the simplei
fact that it had been longer exposed to
that kind of decay which takes place n
vegetable matter when Immersed
water, and which consists chiefly in the
loss of the hydrocarbons which con-
stltute the volatile elements in bitumi-
nous coal. On this supposition, the
anthracite beds are those which were
formed earliest i'll the swamps and
Iagoons of the carboniferous period, and
remained longest devoid of the covering
of sedimentary deposits, which sub.
sequently preserved them from further
change. This theory is confirmed by
the fact that there is no such strict re-
lation of the anthracite beds to the
Appalachian axis of elevation as Prof.
Rodgers had supposed, and by many
other considerations which Prof. Steven
son is about to publish. This simple
cause seems adequate to account for all
the phenomena, and probably solves
one of the long-standing mysteries OF
geological science.

bar and piece of rail, three feet long,
inserted in the frog. All the passengers
were laboring men who carried no mon

SAMPSON HIMSELF AGAIN.
PLAYED BILLIARDS LAST HIGHT LIKE

HIS HANDICAP ALL RIGHT.

Sampson in the Foley Tourney
Game, Played Well, but He Fell
short-Score, 500 TO 226-Net-
Teton and McCulloch Matched
for Curling.
In the Foley billiard tournament last
night, Sampson met Wilmot, and a
magnificent game was the result. There
were thirty-tiye innings played, and at
the end Sampson showed up as win
ner, the score standing 500 in his
favor as against the 226 the card
showed for Wilmot. Sampson did
some wonderful work. He made
double figures eleven times and
Wllmot made doubles seven times.
Among SIMPSONS high runs were 81,
II, y, 25, %, IS, 80, 81, %. Wilmot.
among his high runs, recorded Is, 16, 10.
II, 81. The latter is next TO the highest
run yet made in the tourney-41. A
great many people. and two of the st.
Paul newspapers, have commended that
Sampson was handicapped too heavily.
The game last night. however, tended
to show, if it did not prove
conclusively, that the handicap
placed by Mr.. Foley was about
right. SIMPSONS average last night
was the highest made by any player iii
the tourney so far by two points. His
strokes were perfect. and he started III
seemingly confident of success, Samp-
son excepted, Wilmot played the
strongest game yet brought in the
tournament series. He did splendid
work, and his successful shots were
owing entirely to his skill. There was
hardly an easy shot for him in
the game. Sampson met in him
warrior worthy of ms STEEL"
for Wilmot showed himself not
i'll the least discouraged and
contested CALAMITY to the very end.
AT the tWenty-siXth inning Sampson
stood 100 ahead. There were 800 spec
tatorS, and the enthusiasm at times was
tremendous.
No tournament game will be played
tonight, but tomorrow night there will
occur battle between the giants
Thayer and Glow. For two years past
these two have been favorites in the
various Journeys. They are evenly
handicapped, and an exciting game is
assured. Th9yer so far stands victor,
anu up to last nights game Glow had
made So far the highest average.

CRISIS IN BRAZIL.
Closing Chapter in the Revolution
Near at Hand.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 26. - Minister
Mendonca, of Brazil, believes that
crisis in the Brazilian revolution is at
hand, and that the decisive stroke will
be made this week. He says that the
two great ironclaGs of the rebel COM
mander, Mello, and the f1otilla of little
torpedo craft hastily improvised by
President Peixoto, are rapidly nearing
each other. The minister says that
collision is almost certain to occur be-
fore next Monday. He recognizes that
the little torpedo and dynamite boats
are tremendously overmatched by the
rebel ships, but he counts much on the
ability of the small boats to maneuver
quickly and to discharge their novel
explosives. Senior Mendonca IS hope
full, and confident that the MeIlo fleet
will be defeated, that the Peixoto ships
will then be able to turn attention to
the other rebel admiral, Cana, who is
in Rio harbor.

Not So Bad on the Coast.

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 26. Judging
from the statement of the Southern
Pacific railroad, the wave of depression
that swept over the country appears to
have done less injury to the Pacific
coast than TO any other seculon of the
United States, The gross earnings of
the road up to the end of October
amounted tos $40. 137. 900. This is s261,-
600 less than for the same time last year.
Although there will be decrease in the
earnings of the road this year, it will be
less than that experienced by railroads
in other sections of the country.
