New York. Dec. 7.-Walter b. Peet
Columbia's rowing coach. will probably
have control Of the Columbia crews next
spring. The graduate committee of tbs
Columbia University union, which was
appointed some three weeks ago with
powers TO select a coach. are in favor ol
Mr.. Peet, provided he is able TO give
enough time to the coaching. 1t is be,
lieved that this can be arranged. Mr.
Peet. in an interview with Manager j. l.
Fearing, said that in the event Of hi.
coaching the crew he would lengtheT
the stroke somewhat. This is the only
change he Will make. He does not regard
the defeat OF Cornell and Yale by Eng.
lish crews as conclusive proof OF the
superiority OF Engllsh rowing methods.

the feeling in oxford athletic circles IL
favor OF an International varsity match
next year is very strong. In regard &c
the admission of professionals into the
amateur ranks of the London Athletic
club. oxford athletic men took very
decided stand. practically threatening
that II Il were continued oxford univer'

nothing TO do with the leading amateur

themselves. Similar feelings are reported
from Cambridge. where also the idea OF
meeting a team from Yale and Harvard
finds full favor.

ANTI-sILvER DEMOCRATS.
Cook County Leaders Made Sad by
Being Left Alone in the
Wide West.

CHICAGO, ILL.,, July 1.-THE Illinois
anti-silver Democrats. who have been
actively represented from the beginning
of the fight by Cook County party leaders,
were disappointed to-day to find they had
been practically left alone In the West to
meet and decide the question of another
Democratic National Convention. The
announcement last night by the Illinois
Sound Democratic League that
an address would be issued to the Democ-
racy of the United States setting forth the
necessity for another Democratic conven-
ton was expected to be followed oy the
cooperation of the Eastern delegates.
The Eastern States did not make any
formal declaration in favor of the stand
taken by the Illinois and Texas gold
standard men. It was said in explanation
that many of the delegates had left for
their homes and that the prevailing senti-
ment was to test the feeling of their people
on the question before openly declaring for
another convention. Franklin MacVeagh,
chairman of the committee to draft the
address, and other Cook County leaders,
expressed their disappointment at not re-
ceiving prom pit support from their Eastern
friends. The address is being prepared,
and may be issued Monday.
