CORNELL'S ROWING POLICY
PROBABLE THAT IT WILL BE DE-
CIDED THIS WEEK.

Delay Has Been Due Simply to the Fact
That Cornell Has Been Obliged to Ar

Different Groups of Colleges-Proper
Spirit of Concession.
Ithaca, N. Y, Jan. 5.-Coach Courtney
and Captain Colson of the Cornell var

well known oarsmen, will be secured
before the spring work begins. Profess

council to-day issued the following
statement: "It is probable that the ath-
letic council will decide definitely upon
the Cornell rowing policy at a meeting
to be held within the week Delay has
been due simply to the fact that Cor

so long as her rowing friends cannot
be brought into one race, Cornell must
feel some embarrassment in satisfying
all competitors. Cornell is simply de-
sirous of advancing the best interests
of intercollegiate aquatics, and to this
end is willing to make all reasonable
sacrifices and bear all the responsible
burdens, but there is obviously limit
beyond which she cannot go in justice
to herself. If her rowing friends show
the proper spirit of concession I feel
sure that arrangements can be made
for satisfactory race or series of races
during the present season"

President McKinley's message is a
step behind which had been announced.
1t is with the United States as with
all other nations when anxious to get
new territory America begins on hu-
manitarian grounds. The references to
the Maine disaster-the second feature
of interest-lose their value TO Spain be-
cause of the falsehood upon which they
are based, nor do they set out the same
theories which the court of inquiry did.
The people of the United States can
easier ascertain that the cause of the
disaster was a neglect of duty. No
Government can guarantee the safety
Of ship whose officers are not on
board, as was the case at the time of
the Maine explosion, and was the rea-
son why nearly all the officers escaped.
Other foreign men of war were visit
ing Havana at the same time, but moth
ing happened to them. 1t ought to be
said to President Mckinley that when
he next sends battleship he should

ARMY REORGANIZATION.
Reasons Why the Hull Bill Should
Have Been Passed.

WASHINGTON, April PA high Of
fetal of the War Department said to-
day with reference to the recommittal
by the House of the Hull bill for the
reorganization of the army;
"A fact which the National Guard,
through whose influence the Hull army
reorganization bill was defeated last
Thursday appears to have wholly lost
sight of is that the law makes
the regular army the model for the
organization of the militia where called
into active service. Section 1916, Re
vised Statutes, provides: That they
(n1ilitia) shall be formed by the Presi-
dent into regiments. of infantry, with
the exception of such numbers of cav
larry and artillery as he may direct, not
to exceed the proportion of one COM
pany of each of those arms to every
regiment of infantry, and to be organ
lied as in the regular service
The antiquated single battalion reg
mental formation, long since abandon
ed by all enlightened nations, is still
the legal organization of our regular
infantry. If war were declared to-
morrow. militia called forth under the
Presidents call would have to be or
ganized on this thoroughly obsolete and
vicious plan
Selfish no less than patriotic mo-
tives should induce the National Guard
to work for a law which gives to the
infantry no organization that takes ac-
count of the far-reaching changes
wrought by modern weapons Of war.
That the Hull bill provides such an
organization cannot be questioned. 1t
gives, moreover, to the company a nu-
merical strength, ordinarily not intend
ed to exceed 155 men, less than which
experience has demonstrated to be un-
safe.
Every one who has participated in
a campaign of any length, whether re-
sulting in actual conflict with the enc
my or not must have been impressed
with the fact that the dwindling down
of the companies from casualties below
a minimum workable size is a potent
cause of disintegration. For this evil
the Hull bill supplies an effective rem
edy, and the National Guard, no less
than the regular army, is deeply con-
cerned in bringing about it's adoption.

Preparing to Act in Concert With

Calixto Garcia has passed the trocha

reducing it.
The letter added that the Spanish Of

troops had been called into Havana,
and that much work was being done

rear of the city and otherwise strength

McKINLEY'S MESSAGE.
Does Not Create a Very Favorable
ression at berlin.

LONDON, April 12.-According to a
special dispatch from Berlin, the i'm
preston created at the German Capital
by President McKinleys message to
Congress was not very favorable. It's
tone, the dispatch continues, is con-
sidered dilatory and as not promising
peace. The politicians at Berlin. it ap-
pears, express opinion that if the Pres
ident really had peaceable intentions
he would have acknowledged Spain's
concession of an armistice
The National Zeitung'' to-day sums
up what it alleges to be the total re-
suits of the negotiations of the last few
days, saying: Spain has given proof
of her love for peace by proclaiming
ar amistice. President Mckinley has
also placed on record his love for peace
by avoiding submitting a direct ulti-
matum or impossible demands The
gain thereby is temporary The post
ponement of a decision in President
McKinley's message is, in any case
tranquilizing, inasmuch as he prac-
tically washes his hands of the re-
sponsibility for war or peace, which
lis transferred to Congress-"
The ''Vossische Zeitung" SAYS: .The
immediate danger of war has been de-
ferred for some days, but there is ques-
tion of its complete avoidance"
The "Berliner Post" remarks: "The
American Government has now off,
cially taken up it's position on the Gu
pan question. In Madrid a skillful at
tempt had been previously made to
avoid sharpening the conflict by al
most exceeding the limit of concession,
namely by ordering an armistice.
Peace, however, cannot be regarded as
assured until both sides possess the
necessary circumspection and power to
forclbly suppress an ebullition of pop
ular passion, should it occur
