Henley kcgntto.
NEW HAVEN, Jan. 3i.-The arrival Of
Robert J. Cook, the famous coach, result
ed in q conference with the undergraduate
officers and "a decision TO send crew to
England TO take part i'm the Henley regatta
in July.
Tho meeting was anticipated, and tho
announcement OF II. G.. Di Sibour, the
manager Of the navy, was awaited with
intense interest. After the meeting Mr.
Di Sibour stated that no action would be
taken by Yale in regard to the proposition
20 enter the race between Harvard, Colum-
bin, Pennsylvania and Cornell, nor would
tho winner of that race be challenged by
Yale. Changes in the style OF rowing and
the short time for preparation would
make a challenge impossible. The varsity
crew would devote all its time in getting
in trim for the Henley regatta.
AS yet matters have not been entirely
settled regarding the trip across the water.
The faculty has not been consulted and
its consent must be obtained before the
crew can cross the ocean. The expenses
Of tho trip are to DO met partly by the
graduates and partly by the treasury Of
The Yale Financial union.

taxed and badly treated The indopend-
enco of the supreme court Is constantly
assailod by the legislature.
This condition of affairs has continued
for years All petitions for redress of
grievances and remonstrances TO the BocI
legislature were treated with scorn. In
December the leading citizens Of .Iohan-
nesburg including all tho prominent
Americans, constituted a reform commit
tee TO obtain constitutional redress and
issued a manifesto Of their demands, hay
ing first holsted the Transvaal flag and
sworn to maintain the integrity Of the re-
public
While agitating the questions constitu-
tionally the Jameson incident occurred.
IL was quite disassociated from The reform
movement.

sion 90 Johannesburg asking the reform
committee 20 send deputation TO Pre-
toria The deputation went and conferred
with the government. No understanding
was arrived at
The Battle of Doornkop.
Tho battle Of Doornkop was fought,
.Tameson's column surrendered, and Jo-
hannesburg people asked to lay down their
arms. which was done ON the understand
ing from tho government that our de-
mands would be fayorably considered,
which we were making solely 20 protect
the lives Of our women, children ana prop
crty. The government guaranteed pro-
lection to all these.
Tho conditions of the government were
carried ont without any demonstration of
violence on our part. Nevertheless many
prominent Americans and others, num-
bering go. were arrested and prosecuted
for sedition and treason under penalties
involving imprisonment and coniscation
Of property valued 40 millions sterling.
The detention OF OH the prisoners Is I'M
justifahlo and the oonilscation Of property
a monstrous oppression.
Ask our government 10 urge on the
Trnnsyanl government that tho dcmgnds
of the reform committee wOro reasonable
and based on primary principles Of the re-
public.
Protest against tho treatment OF ALL and
of the Americans in particular.
II tho Transvaal government persists in
its present course, Our government can
only invoke tho aid Of Great Britain, as
paramount South African power, to coerce
the Transyaal, which then forfeits the
moral support OF sister republic
This course the Transyaul would fear.
First urge the reasonablCnCss 0f our
claim; then warn the Iransvaal govern

port and of invoking the aid of Gncat
