Hobson and tue CoIou.

Lieutenant Hobson, the hero of the MerrImac is determined, it ap- pears, to gain more fame and be recognized the world over as the most brilliant of the yoaug officers of the American navy. He has sue ceeded in raising and floating the Spanish cruiser Maria Teresa aud in short time the vessel will oe on
 the way to the Norfolk navy
 yard where the necessary re pairs will be made, and the cruiser added to our navy In spite of the fact that expert wreekers expressed the opinion tbas U would be inn possible to save lha Christobal Col o,, the finest ship Ceevera had in his squadron, Lieut. Hobson is em- phatie in his declacaton that the ship can be raised from it's present dangerous position on the beach,
 and he pledges his professional rep utation against the unanimous opinion of the wreckers who have examined the ship. that the Davy department has confidence in the judgement and ability of Hobson as a naval constructor is indicated by the fact that it has sent to him $20, ono worth of rubber ar bags which were manufactured accord ing to his own order, and these bags
 will be used in lifting the ship off the shore aud into deep water. The Cristobol Colon was built in Italy
 for the Spanish government at a cost of nearly S4,000, GOO, and as there is a reasonable prospect of saying the splendid ship, the navy
 department deems it the part of wisdom to spend a round sum of moner In the effort to float the cruiser. The good work done by

If a good crop happens to come along then over r-production depresses the market so that the planter hardly feels justified in picking the crop.

There are strong indications that
Yale will grant CornelrS request and
allow that university to row for two
years instead of one. according to the
terms of the present Yale challenge to
Cornell. Capt. Payne Whitney. of the
Yale crew, said this morning that moth
ing has been heard officially from Cor
nell yet. and that he must decline to
talk on the reported action of the Cor
nell athletic advisory board till a mes
sage is received. He would not state
whether Yale would concede Cornell
two years agreement or not. The I'M
derSraduate sentiment at Yale is i'm ia
yor of q two years agreement with Cor
nell, provided the race in 1899 is at New
London, as well as the contest this sea-
son. Yale has had enough of Pough-
keepsie, and the college in general
would rather have a race with the Uni
versity of Wisconsin at New London
than one with both Cornell and Har-
ward at Poughkeepsie. If Cornell will
request a two years agreement with
Yale, both races TO take place at New
London. where Yale and Harvard are
booked to row for four years more at
least, the question of a ale-Cornell
race for the coming two years will
probably be .favorably settled at once
1t now looks as if another -Har-
vard-Cornell conference would be nee
esSary to decide the complex situation
which Cornell has made of Yale's chal-
lenge.

President Freedman does not like
the charge that the New York players
indulge in rowdy ball. He Is proud Of
them one and ALL and resents the idea
that they conduct themselves on the
diamond in any other way than as
gentlemen.
Il am as strongly opposed to the
ruffian on the ball field as anyone" he
said yesterday. and would not stand
for him a minute. The charge that
the Giants use profane language or
abuse the umpire is unjust. They put
up as clean a game as any team in
the League. and great deal cleaner
game than at least half dozen ag
gregations that / might mention.
Capt Joyce is misunderstood. When
he goes up to the umpire he merely
protests against what he believes 10
be an unjust ruling. in the hope that
ii may not occur again. But he is not
guilty of the Tuffianly tactics that are
charged up to him. No. sir: the New
