The Yale News contains drastic
editorial utterly rcpudiating the senti.
ments expressed in the letter, and de-
mands u public apology. In the same
issue of the News tho men who wrote the
letter make statements in which they
announce their willingness to rctract all
phrases i'm which it was presumed to
represent the sentiment of the university.
Strenuous efforts were made by these
young men To suppress yesterdays issue of
the News, and they were successful i'm so
far as they delayed the appearance of the
paper for two hours.

tho voting list and he claimed To have
voted the Republican ticket and had
pledged himself 60 support the nominees
Of the conventions To which delegates
were TO be chosen at the caucus he could
do nothing Both sides admitted Mr.
McGee had made the statement about his
pledges the lieutenant stated. "Wing"
led OFF the cheer ut the latters decision
Chairman Worsley had not changed his
mind neither had Mr.. McGec, wing"
Farrell or Mr.. Brown SO things remained
in status quo. When the hands on the
clock reached 9 20 the chairman declared
the polls closed. The clerks counted the
votes for the following candidates. The
opposition to the ward committees NOM
inees that had the support of "Wing"
and the gang were: Delegates To city con-
vention: Edwin C.. Webb, Charles III.
Holt, Charles II. Nichols George T..
Willis Thomas Lund; city committee:
George w. Brown, Thomas Finneran,
Ralph Mayor, William c. Dobson and
Thomas II. Booth
The ticket endorsed by the ward com
mittce for state delegates was unopposcd
The one for delegates to the city conven-
tion headed by Frederick B. Fryer had rs
votes, the one for ward committee headed
by Nanstone had 2S. The ticket headed
by Webb had five votes and that headed
by Brown four. The chairman an

other caucus. Mr.. Brown told IA reporter
there would bo one held.

votes and make out the credentials and
then Lieutenant Murray put his veto on
the second caucus.
In conversation with "A News reporter
after the caucus, Chairman Worslcy said
under tho rules of the Republican city
committee he had the sole right to decide
whether man whose party affiliations
were in doubt, should vote or not.
Former Representative Charles II. Smart
did not attend the CAUCUS. The ticket
headed by Mr.. Vanstone with one excep-
tion was elected mt special caucus held
last spring, mt which such prominent arbi-
traitors as Hon. Frank +. Olncy were in
by an overwhelming majority,
and there can be no doubt that they had
a large majority of the Republicans in
at last nights caucus.
When asked by "A reporter as To the
probability of another caucus former
Representative Brown said: THAT'S our
business. " There We're stories of an in
dignation meeting at Wanskuck, but it

STANDING OF THE POLO CLUBS.
FIVE THOUSAND SEATS SOLD.

From the plans of the arena on exhibit
tion in San Francisco and Carson 5000
seats have already been sold. The reser-
vations set aside for excursion parties are
still untouched.
Secretary Wheelock's idea is to have
a poll of each special car taken after the
train is ON the road. The requirements
of the passengers will then be telcgraphed
ahead and seats reserved in Carson. An
attendance of no less than 5000 is now
certain.
Dan Stuart will call upon Corbctt and
FitZsimmons tomorrow if the weather
continues favorable. He walked about
for several hours today and his face is
beginning to show some color.
Nothing remains TO be done at the
arena except to put up the private boxes
This work Is only matter of few
hours. The seats will he numbered and
the sections placardcd during the present
week, when the gates of the enclosures
will be closed TO the public.

THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE
RULES

Tho construction of the Marquis of
Queensbery rules given out by Referee
Siler yesterday continues to be the chief
topic of conversation among sporting men
at Carson. Tho general opinion at pres
ent Is that it will require conference of
representatives of Corbett and Fitz with
the referee TO settle the matter. 1t is not
likely that Julian and Fitz will agree To
anything at the present time. They said
repeatedly they desire no agreement to
striking on the break away until the men
are in the ring and it is likely they will
continue TO hold that view. AT the same
time 1t Is very doubtful If either of the
fighters will be willing To announce how
no feels in relation TO the matter. Both
Corbett and Fitz are too chary of giving
To the other an advantage To make known
what they actually wish in the matter of
close lighting for fenr that the other side
will strcnuously object TO anything pro-
posed. Fitz has said one reason for not
agreeing To hit with one arm free and in
break -aways is that Corbett can practice
these things from now until the date of
the fight. As IA matter of fact Corbett has
been practicing just that sort of thing
ever since he went into training.

A CARNEGIE DEAL.
SteeIton Open Hearth Business VIII
Suffer Under New Order of Things.

Philadelphia, March IA special from
Harrisburg says: 1t is reported here that
n combination has been formed between
Carnegie and the Pennsylvania Steel COM
pany, whereby the former is to furnish the
latter with all soft steel billets at 81 per
ton, less than it costs TO make them at
Steelton, and that the Sparrows Point plant
is to roll all Carnegie's rails for water
shipment. This will knock out the open
hearth business at Steeiton. IL is also re-
ported that an order for 80 900 tons of rails
for Boston received at Steelton will be
rolled at the Sparrows Point plant from
which point they can be shipped by water
at much lower rates than rail from
Steelton. The fact that an order has been
issued for resumption at Sparrows Point
seems to confirm the report

HAD TO TAKE TO THE WATER.

For the second time this season the Yale
crew have been compelled to take to the
water. This time they were two miles out
in the harbor when the barge began to
ship the choppy swell that was running.
1t was very fortunate that the real state
of affairs was realized in time, for the
crew was rowing over the two-mile course
on time and would have been swamped a
good distance from shore had not Cox
swain Clarke headed the boat for shore.
As it was some of the men were compelled
to swim To the beach so that the boat
would not swamp. The others then waded
ashore and carried the barge with them.
