YALE FRESHMEN WON.
The Victory of POughkeepsie Last
Year Repeated.

The freshman race, which was rowed at
New London yesterday afternoon, was
thrilling to the last degree. Every yard OF
the course was fought viciously, and the
result was in doubt until Yale rushed across

The race was called for B O'Clock. but
at that time the wind was strong from
the southwest. and the referee put 1t OIL
for an hour. Then there was another wait
for the wind to 90 down. and, finally, at
30, the three crews got into position just
off the wharf at the naval station. Har-
ward had the west or outside course, Cor

advantage being with the New Haven
eight.
For a mile and a half Yale and Cornell

At an eighth of a mile from the finish

the Harvard coXswain called on his men

One game does not make the reputation

yesterday was as good as any man could

Heydler Given a Good Send-On in the
Smoky City.
The Pittsbarg News says:
1t would not be surprising to learn some
time that there is a mad dog movement
against Umpire Heydler, now officiating at
Exposition Park. Shortly after the season
opened there was a cry raised that Heydler
was grossly incompetent because his de-
cisions were against the team making the
howl. Then another team took up the cry.
then another, and pretty soon almost every
team he encountered was in the yell. 1t
may be honest, every bit of 1t, but there
may be something else in tho mad dog
howl The New Yorks tried hard yesterday
to create the impression that they were be-
ing robbed by his decisions on the bases,
but Heydler's work was 100 per cent better
than some of the others of the staff who
have happened along this way.
One of the cases was that of Hartman in
attempting to steal second. 1t was a close
much of it as Heydler, but he made a sort
of bull-fghting demonstration on his knees
when the umpire called him out. Again
when Bowerman stole second he was called
safe. and another kick went up Heydler
has enough patience to last the season or
he would have given some instructions to
several of the Giants who wanted to run
the game their way. The decision on Bow

Record of the Clubs.

The Washington boys pulled themselves
together at Louisville yesterday and on
their fourth try managed to register a vic
tory over the Colonies by s to B. Gus Wey-
hing. although hit very hard in last Mon
days game, was on the rubber yesterday,
but his delivery was different PROPOSE
ton Gus pitched in his best form, and,
Notwithstanding poor support on the part
of several of the players back of him,
kept the hits of the Colonies scattered, and
their sum total of safeties was only 8.
While the fielding of the Senators was not
of the best, their work in spots was of the
most sensational order. The play of Nc
CURE and Wrigley in the first inning
be cited as an example. Dummy" Hoy,
who has the reputation of being able to get
down to first base about as fast as any
man in the big league, drove a swift
grounder toward Mcclure Mac made a
clean pick up and a beautiful throw to sec
ond to WrigIey, catching Ritche, who was
going down on the hit. As soon as the ball
left McGuireS hands, he made break for
first base and arrived there just in time to
get pretty throw from Wrigley, mailing
Hoy and completing a double play.
Fraser did the twirling for the Louis
villes, but was a far different proposition
than he was in Mondays game, when he
kept the hits of the Senators we'll scattered
and few in number. Yesterday his delivery
pecially when hits meant runs.
Three hits, base on balls, a sacrifice
and an out Were the factors in the three
runs for the Senators in the first inning.
Setback drew a base on balls and Gettman
beat out infied hit. Anderson followed
with a sacrifice and McGuire's two base hit
scored the two first batters. Mcclure
reached third on Farrells out, and Arthur
Wagner scored Jim through nice single
to right. The Senators scored two runs in
the third inning through Selbachs hit to
left for two bases, McGuire's single to cen
ter and Farrells beauty bright for three
bases. In the sixth Washington secured
its sixth run, and the Colonies registered
their first tally. Farrell drove line hit to
right, and on a wild throw by Dexter in
returning the ball crossed the home plate.
In this inning Hoy hit to deep right for
two bases, advanced to second on DeXterS
out, and scored while Stafford was being
put out at first base. Another tally
made by the Senators in the seventh,
through Gettman beating out an infield hit
going to third Anderson's single and
then home a wild pitch. The visitors
were BANKED in the eighth inning. but the
home club secured their second run through
nice drive by j. Wagner, which sent Dex-
ter, who had reached first single, all
the way home las the ball went by Gettman
in right field. Wagner tried to score on
the same play, but was nailed at the plate.
In the ninth inning both clubs registered
one tally apiece. Myers drove beauty to
WriSley's single brought him over the
plate. For the Colonels Clingman reached
first on Wrigley's error. went to second on
a PASSED ball and crossed the plate on
kittredge's nice single to center The at
tendance was about 500.

Sovereignty Forfeited.

Spain Already Conquered in the Philip
pines. Peace Commission starts with this
Assumption.
WASHINGTON, Sept. II. Three mem
bers of the Peace Commission, Secretary
Day, Senator Davis and Whitelaw Reid,
were in conference for two hours at the
State Department to-day. Senator Frye,
it was stated, would arrive tomorrow
morning. The plans of Senator Gray, the
fifth member, are not exactly known. al
though he is expected to join his asso-
ciates in their conference to- morrow.
The President will give dinner at the
White House to morrow. night, at which
the commissioners will be the principal
guests, all the members of the Cabinet in
the city also being present. The commits
sioners will leave here Friday in order to
take the Campania on Saturday.
The meeting at Secretary Days office
to-day was for the purpose of going ove1
the whole question of the peace settle
ment. 1t is the first time MI Reid had
! exchanged views with his colleagues on
the subject.
Members Of the commission stated posi-
lively that all reports relative to the in
Structon of the commissioners. or the
attitude of the uited States We're purely
conjecttual, and that they haG agreed
among themselves to authorize no state
ment of their views as body or as indi-
viduals.
In official quarters much satisfaction
was expressed today over the report from
| Madrid that the lower house of Parlia-
ment had passed the government bill, ac-
cepting ithe terms of the protocol. The
upper house already had passed this
measure.
There is little doubt that general line
Of policy was agreed upon between the
President and his Cabinet ar their meet
ing late yesterday afternoon, 1t is not
doubted that the commission will start
the negotiations at Paris with the asser-
ton that we have conquered spain in the
Philippines and that Spanish sovereignty
has already been forfeited there. This
will not, however, necessarily signify that
it is the purpose of the administration to
retain possession OF the entire group of
islands or to permanently deprive Spain
of all her possessions in the Pacific. 1t is
not believed that the administration has
gone beyond the determination to retain
the whole of the island of Luzon, but it
is understood to be the intention of the
President to establish at the outset the
right of this government to determine the
fate of the islands and to make the con-
ditionS under which government shall be
established there.
The matter Of relinquishing possession
of the rest OF the islands is involved with
so many conditions to be considered that
it is realized that it may by force of cir
| curnstances become necessary to deprive
Spain permanently Of all her possessions
in that quarter. 1t is understood not to
be matter of policy to acquire all this
territory, but it may become necessity.

ASTHMA CAN BE CURED.
A Noted Physician will Prove this te
Sufferers in Belfast.

The progress of modern medical science
has led to the discovery of successful meth
DDS OF treatment for most of those ma ladies
once regarded as incurable. Asthma has al
ways been regarded as belonging to this OBJ
stinate class, battling the skill of the great
est physicians. Thousands of sufferers know
by their own experience that little, if any,
relief has been afforded them by the meth
DDS heretofore employed. Dr. Rudolph
Schiffman, the noted physician, has, after a
life ong study of Asthma and kindred dis
eases discovered remedy which not only
gives instant relief in the severest cases of
Asthma, Hay Fever and Bronchitis, but has
actually cured thousands whose cases had
been pronounced incurable. So complete is
his confidence in his remedy, that to over
come the skepticism of the public growing
out of the failure of other remedies DR.
Schiffmann requests this paper to announce
that for the next three days he offers a lib
eral sample box of "Schiffmann's Asthma
Cure" free of charge to all persons applying
at A. A. Howes & Co.'s Drug Store. He be-
lieves that an actual test will be the most
convincing and in fact the only way to over
come the natural prejudice of thousands of
Asthmatics, who have heretofore sought re-
lief in vain. Persons living out of town will
receive a package free. postpaid, by writing
direct to DR.. R. Schiffmann, 315 Rosabel
ST., St. Paul, Mimi, before Sept. 30th, as no
free samples can be obtained after that date.

Steamer Lewiston at Boston.

The old side wheel steamer Lewiston,
Capt Lyman, whose passage from Mon
tauk point to this port with sick soldiers
of the 9th Mass regiment ended SO disas-
trously on the stone breakwater at Point
Judith, arrived in the harbor late last
night in tow of the wrecking tug Alert,
which brought her from Wexford, r. l.
After the steamer was fioated she was
taken to the latter place, where her crush
ed bows were temporarily repaired, just
enough work being done to admit of her
being towed here. The tow left Wexford
Monday and reached Vineyard Haven that
same night, resuming the trip to this port
yesterday morning.
1t is rumored that several attachments
are to be placed on the steamer and that
no repairs will be done on her until these
matters are arranged. The Lewiston will
tie up at Brooks wharf, East Boston,
where she is liable to remain foran indef-
mite period. Boston Globe Sept. IA.
