PHILADELPHIA cRIcKETERs
ARRIVE AT OXFORD.
No One Met Them at the Train, But
it is Said There is a Great Deal of
Interest Attached to Their Visit.
,e Philadelphia

Oxford, June 6.-The Philadelphia
cricketers arrived here about noon today.
No one met them They spent the after
noon quietly. There does not seem TO be
much interest in the match among the
townspeople. who have been relied upon
to furnish a good game. The present
prospects are for fast wicket tomorrow
although BiddIe and one or two otner
members of the American team have not
yet fully recovered from the effects OF
the voyage The men are quite confident
that they will give good account OF
themselves.
The Oxford team, while very much i'm
.roved since the opening OF the season.
evidently stands in some awe of the Phil
adelphians because OF their achievements
over the Australians last year the phil
adelphia team for tomorrow. according to
The arrangements tonight, viii consist oil
the following:
Coates. King. Lester, Patterson. Ralston,
Thayer and Wood.
The American visitors are pretty gener-
ally expected TO win. IL IS also beileEed
that later on they will defeat Cambridge,
but it is not thought they will be equally
successful in the other matches. Inelr
programme is ambitious. but ii does not
include an alI-England or representative
match. as they viii meet only the best
players in the respective county teams.
This IS doubtless wise step on tneir
part, though disappointing TO Engnsn
Philadelphia could accomplish against
England s finest Il.
Apropos OF the visit Prince Ran Jit Sim
hi, one of the most popular cricketerS IN
England. said yesterday to a representa-
tive of the Associated Press: There Is,
of course, a good deal of interest Ielt IN
the visit of the Americans and this will
doubtless increase as their tour length
ems Their quality a team viii not
have been tested in the most effective
way, because they do not intend 10 play
at any representative matches. L shall
meet them when playing for my country
at Brighton. June II and 10. If l am
engaged in any county match at the time
they play Mary Lebone at Lords. l snail
meet them again, playing them there ror
the home team.
AT Bristol they will meet DR.. Grace.
So far as the oxford and Cambridge
teams are concerned, the Philadelphia
players may not find them very strong
opponents, but unless the Americans are
q thorough capable team they Will nave
very little chance against them OF county
teams"

All With the Ministers.

London. June THE correspondent
OF the Standard at ConstantinoDle
says: Acting upon the advice of Izzet
Bey, the sultan is leaving the peace
negotiations wholly in the hands of his
ministers, thus evading personal res
possibility and placing himself in a
position to sacrifice them to popular
indignation if necessary.
II is reported that the palace party
has entered into extensive stock ex-
change operations on the theory that
the market will show a rise as the
prospects of peace increases. The OF
toman ambassador at st. Petersburg
has informed the porte that Count
Muravieff. the Russian foreign minister,
told him he personally objected to Rus
sian Intervention on behalf of Greece,
and had cOunteracted the feminine in
trigues started with that object. but
the holy synod induced the ear to
intervene.
