CHALLENGE NOT ACCEPTED.
Meeting of Executive Committee of the
 T. T. A. A.

Meeting of Executive Committee of the
 I. T. A. A.
 A meeting of the executive commit tee of the Intercollegiate Track Athlet- ic association was held in the New Ha- ven house Saturday afternoon to hear the reply of Cambridge to the chal- lenge of the association for a meet this summer. The communication was signed by F. l.. Caller, president of Cambridge University Athletic club The challenge was not accepted, the principal reason, as stated in the let ter, being that there is one great diff flculty which we fear makes 1t impos- sible to arrange at the present time any meeting between the American and English universities. The status of representatives of this club as anna teurs and as students is, and is rightly, required to be beyond suspicion. But, if we are properly advised, these points are not equally clear in the case of some American universities and col | leges."
 | It further expressed a hope that such difficulties may soon be removed and a | meeting arranged
 | This letter will be answered by the committee at a meeting to be held in | this city March 25. MT. Shiras was given full charge of the arrangements | for the Mott Haven games this year. l The bicycle events will beheld on a different day from those of the regular games.
 The statement made by President Brown of the University of California Athletic association was discussed, but no action taken A committee was, however, appointed to take the matter in charge.

That Vallejo Fake

The San Francisco public got notewor-
thy object lesson on the subject of fakes in
war news yesterday morning. The morn
ing representative of the old journalism
contained long dispatch making the
statement that Admiral kirkland had re-
ceived information in regard to the battle
of Manila, asserting among other things
that the Baltimore had lost 200 men out Of
her crew of little over 300. This informa-
tion has been shown to be made out of
whole cloth. Admiral Kirkland denies
that he received any private advices III
regard to the battle of Manila, and it is
certain that no information has come In
regard to the losses of the Baltimore or
any other ships.
Another morning paper that has been
struggling along published what it termed
second edition." containing the allega-
ton that the official report had been re-
ceived from Commodore Dewey, and CIV
ing a partial translation of it's contents,
with some circumstnatial detail-among
the rest a statement that fifty men were
lost and the two gunboats seriously DAM
aged. This report was an absolute false
hood. Secretary Long is authority for the
statement that no dispatch had been re-
ceived from Commodore Dewey. The East
ern Telegraph company, which operates
the cable line from Hongkong, has also
made the statement that neither Presi-
dent Mckinley nor anyone else has re-
ceived a message from Commodore
Dewey"
This is the sort of work that the public
may expect from journals that have no
service from the recognized newsgatherine
sources.-San Francisco Examiner.

For failure to make the blockade effect
i've they are subject to criticism and
punishment from their own government,
and by mistaken zeal in the performance
of duty they may involve their govern
ment in trouble with neutrals. The off,
GERS of blockaders must be vigilant, able
and discreet. Neutrals, more especially
il they are strong nations, are insistent
on the utmost punctilio in the treatment
Of their ships.
The seizure of the French liner Lafay-
cite II illustrative of the delicacy of the
duty to be performed. AS it is supposed
that the French government is really in
sympathy with Spain. the case is one of
unusual delicacy. The hopes of Spain
have been, and are, that some of the
nations Of Europe would join her in the
war with us. She has made persistent
efforts to that end, and every fact and
circumstance will be seized upon To pre-
cipitate complications upon US. AS it was
the first attempt to run the blockade,
the release Of the Lafayette is probably
a wise act. If an error at all it is on
the side of caution and liberality. Care,
however, should be taken against repeti-
tion Of the attempt.

DIFFICULTIES IN BLoCKADES

The object of blockade is to cut an
enemy off from the reception of war SUD-
plies and also those for consumption by
-combatants, or, in other words. ii
Is to diminish his ability to fight and
subject the hostile people to starvation.
Blockades are obnoxious, as they inter-
fere with the commerce of neutral ma
tions and inflict injuries upon them. A
partial or imperfect blockade is mislead-
Ing and tantalizng, and hence the rule
has been prescribed that to be respected
by neutrals the blockade must be effect
i've.
It has not been uncommon for mer-
chantmen of neutral nations to eudeavor
to elude the blockadings ships, to take
the chance of capture. This is chiefly
done for gain, as the people of a block
AIDED country. in their straits, are will
Ing to, and do. pay unusual prices for
whatever is necessary or useful TO them.
Attempts to elude the blockading ships
are often resorted to for the purpose of
testing the effectiveness of the blocka de.
and governments which are nominally
neutral are inclined to liberality in con-
Struing proofs relating to the character

In Defense Of the Home

To the Editor of the Los Angeles Herald:
Permit me to occupy small portion of
your space In reply to your article IN
Thursdays issue headed Faith Her
Bane," my object being to endeavor TO
correct the false Impressions that might
be made on reading the same by those not
familiar with the work done at the Home
of Truth.
The writer is not familiar with all the
circumstances attending the demise of Miss
Hull, whose lovely character and person
ality have endeared her to all who had
known her. Why she should have been taken
while others, who are apparently In as
bad or worse physical condition, have
under the same treatment, regained their
health is one of those things that are in
explicable, but there is certainly no rea-
son why her death should cause any more
comment than If she had been under the
care of a physician.
| 1 am able to speak from personal ex-
perience when state that consumption can
and has been cured by the teaching and
treatment given at the Home of Truth.
1 went to the home nearly year ago suf-
fering from this dread disease in an ad-
vanced form, and now thanks to the treat
have perfectly recovered nay health. Not
only this, but am personally acquainted
with large number of people whose re-
covery from consumption, paralysis and
other so-called incurable disease0 ranks
hardly short of the marvellous. If your re-
porter should care to devote one-half the
space he has occupied with the article in
question to recital of some of the cures
ad ho S1 ha n "a bo
wants for long time to come. and 1 IN
vite him to call on me for data.
1t is a fact well known by those famil-
lar with the work accomplished by the
Homes of Truth, Christian scientists,
etc., that as a rule their patients are those
who have exhausted all other resources,
more remarkable. That all will recover is,
if there was physician in Los Angeles who
could show as large percentage Of cures
his reputation would be more than local.
The Home of Truth has avoided an at
tempts to advertise or proselyte It's labor
is a labor of love, without money or price.
I have written without advising with any
of it's officers or those attending, but
think voice the sentiment of all those who
consider it their house of worship when
I say that the fact that their beloved
leaders have been held up to public ridi-
cule and their motives impugned, does not
| tend to mitigate the sorrow felt at the loss
of her who has passed away. And, by the
| way. had your reporter pursued his in
vestigations little further he would have
found the people attending the home to be
not at all queer" but to embrace a good

THE HERHLD'S MUSE
The Chaplain's Prayer

The dying chaplain raised his head and
turned to heaven his falling eyes;
Ihen clasped his feeble hands ana Salo'
"Our Father, who art in the skies,
MY sands of life are nearly run; am
wreck without a sail;
If there be wrong that / have done, may
not repentance now avail?
Oh Lord! when strong rebellion tried to
rend the bonds of unity,
When brothers fought, and fighting died.
to rid our land of slavery,
L urged them in Thy holy name to smits
as only warriors smite
If this, o Lord, be cause for blame, for
give. for l believed 1t right.
And when the hirelings of hell did crush
the hands that gave them gold.
With vengeance did my bosom swell; twas
almost more than could hold!
And when, o Lord, with treachery they
smote the ship-our gallant Maine
My soul was scared with enmity; undying
hate for guilty Spain!
And then, o Lord, with heart aflame, did
I these bitter lines indite.
If this, o Lord, be cause for blame, for
give, for l believed 1t right"
He ceased, and from his pillow drew a
blotted, torn and crumpled leaf;
The lines it bore were strangely new, and
filled our hearts with hate and grief;
And as he read his voice arose as clear as
sounds a bugle call,
But when at last he reached the close, the
veil of death began to fall.
Yet, when he saw our eyes aflame with
Freedoms holy battle light,
He gasped, "If-this-be- cause-for-blame,- =
forgive, -I-believe-t-right."

LONG AND SHORT NONSENSE

The transportation problem yet re-
mains to be solved. The Cullom- Reagan
Interstate commerce law, enacted at the
end of ten years agitation, serves only
to legalize the abuses which gave rise to
it. Ths main feature Of the law, in so
far as the protection Of persons and To-
calities from discrimination Is concerned,
is the famous "long and short haul
clause, which prohibits transportation
companies from charging more for the
short than for the long haul. when the
former is included in the latter. But
no appeal Of the railroads for suspen-
sion of this clause has ever been made
in vain. The interstate railway commits
sion has never refused to use the discre-
tion vested in 1t by the law to suspend the
of the act is equivalent to a suspension
of the act itself, in so far as concerns the
protection of individuals or localities
against discrimination in rates.
We have just now a very strong OBJ
ject lesson, illustrating the inadequacy
Of the law as it stands and as it is ad'-
ministered. To enable the transconti-
mental railroads to compete with the
Canadian lines for the carrying trade
with the Klondike. the long and short
haul clause was suspended by the COM
mission. Certain roads with termini al
Sound cities took advantage of it and
reduced their paSseppor rotas ond ooaop
steamship lines are selling through tick
cts to Seattle and Tacoma and other
points in the northwest much below the
tariff of the Santa Fe and Southern Pa
cific, which lines, not being in position
to command much of the traffic anyway,
have no inducement for meeting the cut
inaugurated by the northern roads. The
consequence is diversion of eastern and
European passenger traffic from San
Francisco, Los Angeles and all lnterme-
date points. This city is absolutely shut
out from all participation in the advant-
ages growing out Of the Alaskan gold
discoveries-not only from the direct ad-
vantages in the handling Of freight and
the prestige which increased clearings
give. but those other advantages, appre-
ciated although perhaps less tangible, of
having a portion of the tide of travel
pass through our beautiful city, with its
suggestiveness Of home and comfort and
ease and pleasure after the struggle for
wealth has been ended and a competence
secured.
And the only compensation thus far
suggested by the lines that ramify this
section is the announcement of material
ncrease'in the east and west-bound COM
modify rates, to go into effect at once.

Remember the Maine

Remember the Maine, my brother,
The beautiful ship that lay
In the stately white of the bridal night,
Asleep in Havana bay.
Fleet as a bird of the mountains,
Light as the wind, and free;
0, many bride has the ocean wide,
But never so fair as she!
When noise of the coming battle
Stirs all her slumbering ire,
How the foeman's guns wake her flaming
tongues,
And quicken her heart of fire.
But never more will she ride the tide,
Or the seamen pace her deck
For the bolt of hell on the vessel fell,
And she lies blackened wreck.
Remember the Maine, o! nation,!
Remember her gallant crew,
Who went to their grave meath the sad sea
wave,
With valiant hearts and true.
Remember our martyred brothers,
Sent down to their death alone,
And vengeance deal till our foemen feel
You honor and guard your own.
Remember the Maine, Our Father,
Remember the hearts that ache,
The eyes that are wet with a vain regret,
Yet brave for their country's sake,
Remember the Maine, o! Father!
Whose men to their death went down.
No time was there for cry or prayer
But they earned martyrs crown.

A Long Look Ahead

To the Editor of Che Los Angeles Herald.
The question of holding Manila, apart
from the indemnity question, is strategic
one. The future will require the United
States to take her place among the great
nations in military strength. AS much as
we may desire peace and to refrain from
mixing up in old world affairs, no one can
say when we may not be forced to take,
hand in them. For instance, right now II
is among the possibilities, remote, I grant,
at once, that continental coalition may
be brought about in aid of Spain and that
England and ourselves must fight the
world. Admitting any such possibility,
either now or in the future, is 1t not palpa~
BILE the immense military advantage 10
would be to us to hold Manila as a base for
our Asiatic squadron? If we give it up now
ii will probably mean we must take IL
again at some later period, and at an
enormous cost Of life and money. To hold
1t now will cost nothing, as there is no
nation that will dare interfere.
AS much as we may deplore becoming a
sea power, with outlying naval bases, it
must be recognized that such Is our future,
and that it is better to take time by the
forelock than wait until it is too late

We have waited while the Spaniard made

Let the sword not seek its scabbard till
