ITHACA. Feb lathe air is again filled with
rumors on the boating situation, and the gem
eral impression is, az THE SUN has maintained.
that the crews Of Yale and Cornell will meet
on the water this year. Col. g @. Francis Of
Troy. who has been in the city on business per
tanning to the Courtney testimonial fund. in an
interview expressed his belief that there will bo
q Cornell-Harvard Yale race at New London. 1t
is stated unofioially that Capt. Goodrich Of
Harvard and Capt. Colson OF Cornell will confer
at New York on next Friday relative to date
and course for the CornellHarvard race, and
that Capt. Payne Whitney will also be at
Now York and will undoubtedly participate in
the conference. IL Capt Whitney does attend
the conference q triangular race will be assured,
as Capt. Colson will be clothed with the au-
thority to give assurances TO Yale that what
ever course Harvard may select for q race next
year would be agreeable TO Cornell. This would
do away with Yale's objection to Cornell's
counter conditions to Sale's original challenge
with it's conditions.
Members OF the Athletic Council here will not
talk. but intimate that the prospects for a peace
full solution Of the boating problem are bright.
Il . Cornell-fale, race Is arranged a decided
change In the training Of the crew candidates
by Coach Courtney will be made. For years
past the Cornell crews have not been able to get
practice on the water until the latter part Of
March. Courtney intends this year to have sew
eral boats at Glenwood. about four miles down
Cayuga Lake, opposite TO which tho water 10

TO Glenwood In omnibuses and have them prac-
ttce. thus getting q month's additional water

was informed OF this conspiracy and II
was checked. Pollini, the historian. says
that Alva, enraged because Philip had
promised command 10 Vitelli instead OF
his (Alva's) son, and himself betrayed the
conspiracy 10 Elizabeth.
All this time the Spanish were profuse
in their prOtestations Of friendship. They
detained English warships that entered
Spanish and Netherland ports under all
sorts Of polite pretexts; they yelled every
step with diplomatic forms. Even after
the Duke Del Medina Cell, succeeding
Ava, had been defeated accidentally
while on his way with an immense fleet
TO enter the Thames and seize London,
the Spaniards continued 10 dissemble.
With the coming OF Don John on tine
scene, more duplicity began. This
strange person, who signalized his ac-
cessiOn to tbs "gOvernOrshtp OF the Meth
erlands by sneaking into the territory
In disguise. wal the illegitimate brother
Of Philip Of Spain.
Elizabeth had kept her word implicitly.
How did Spainp Don John plotted TO
seize the English throne. He raised an
army with the %conniyance OF Philip, II
not with his help. And when Elizabeth
expOstulated with that false king, again
he assured England OF his everlasting
friendship. To prove IL, when Don John
died mysteriOusly, Philip promptly
seized two noble Englishmen, tortured
them and put them 10 death cruelty on
an absurd charge that they had assassi-
mated him.
When at last, after all the Duplicates
and receptions lasting for years had
been carried on until England saw

lie was told.
With the great Armada all ready; with

dared not declare wal openly.
They opened a cheating negotiation,
Ostensibly among the Netherlands, with
England, through the Prince of Parma,
and the Spanish commissioners tried "
J persuade the English that the coming
Spanish fleet was not Intended against
England, but this time England was
alert, and the seas and winds came u

ALL CONVICTED OF WHITE Gaping.
Federal Statute Successfully Applied to
Five New Htxleo Ranchmen.


Five New Mexico Ranehmen.
A trial Of unusual public interest was
brought to a close at Silver City Satur-
day night at the present term Of the
United States court for the Third judicial
district Of New Mexico. Lsst July A. W..
clifford was "~white-capped" in the Sacra-
mento mountains In eastern Dona Ana
county by a bani OF masked men. After
giving him a liberal dose OF tar and
feathers and fifty lashes with knotted
ropes, Clifford was told that he had
twenty four hours in which to leave the
country. The anlmus Of the attack was
supposed to have been the peculiar re
ligious doctrines promulgated by Clifford,
and which we're said to have been detri-
mental TO the peace Of ths commu-
nifty. At the last September term Of the
United States court Nicholas Q. Patter.
son, James Haynes, William II. Gilliland,
Wilson Kountz and William johnson
were indicted for the crime, under charge
OF violation Of the civil rights law-the
statute passed for the purpose Of punish
ing the Bu-Klux outrages in the south.
Patterson died before the present term Of
court, but the remaining defendants
we're placed on trial last week, and after
a long aud closely contested legal battle,
the jury late Saturday night returned a
verdict OF guilty against all Of the men.
Sentence has not yet been pronounced.
This Ia the first time In the history Of the
territory that prosecution has been made
under such statute. All the defendants
are well-to-do ranchers In the section in
which they live.
