TROUBLE IN CORNELL CREW. Captain Fisher Quarrels With Coach
 Courtney and Resigns.

Ithaca, N. r., March 27.-Captain S. L. Fisher of the Cornell varsity crew to-day resigned from his position and decided to discontinue his connection with the Cornell crew. He assigned as a reason disagreement which he had with Coach Courtney while the crew was training on Cayuga Inlet last Sat urday. The trouble arose from mis- understanding of Courtneys directions, Fisher taking out In one of the varsity combination crews men whom he had been told not to take out until certain of the older oarsmen had been given an opportunity. Coach Courtney criti- cised Fisher and accused him of having shown partiality in his training of the men. Fisher, who was acting as cox swain left the boat, saying that he would withdraw from the crew. No ac- tion will be taken by the athletic coun- ciI upon Captain Fishers resignation until next term.

CAUSING COMMENT IN ENGLAND.
Order Given to American Locomotive
 Works for Twenty Engines.

Works for Twenty Engines.
 London, March 27.-The order for twenty locomotives given by the Great Northern Railroad company to the Baldwin company of Philadelphia is causing much comment in engineering and official circles here. The contracts stipulates the delivery of the locomo- tives in four months, and 1t seems that the British manufacturers needed eighteen months to do the work. H. J. Watts, chief locomotive superintendent of the Great Northern railroad, who is now in he United States with other English railroad officials and who has studied the automatic coupling system, writes that he is surprised at the great capacity of the American works It is learned that further orders from the Indian and Australian governments have been given to the Baldwin com- pany. The same capacity for speedy delivery secured for Americans the con- tract to build the Atbara bridge in the Soudan, to the intense disappointment of British firms, none of whom, how ever, were able to guarantee the de- livery of the necessary material within the prescribed time. In contrast with the promptitude of the Americans it may be mentioned that the Soudan rail- raoad had to wait four months for a small bridge weighing thirty-one tons. It will be found, perhaps that the loco- for the Soudan railroad will be of American OnStrIlctfOn

STy7D ENT TROUBLE AT TRINITY. Pres, smith Declines to Say What Wns
 Done at Yesterdays Meeting.

Hartford, Conn.,, March 27.-Presl- dent Smith of Trinity college said this afternoon in regard to the developments of the recent hazing affair that four sophomores were summoned before a meeting of the faculty Saturday after noon. They refused to say whether they were present at the disturbance of Tuesday evening. Their action cut them off from the privileges Of the col lege until they should reply. Sunday evening a meeting of students prepar- ed resolutions in regard to the matter to present to the faculty at it's regular meeting at 10 o'clock this morning. President Smith and Prof. Luther de-
 clined to say what was done at the meeting beyond saying that the mat ter was considered. From student it was learned that a committee of three from the class of '99 asked for the re- instatement of the four sophomores. The faculty will meet again at 4 o'clock Tuesday afternoon. The peti- ton for reinstatement was signed by all but six of the body of students.

4 BATTLE WITH THIETES.
The Ringleader Kalled and His Daugh-
 ter Mortally Wounded.

Dexter, Mo-, March 27.-A pitched battle was fought eight miles north of here yesterday between Charles Hen drickson and a gang of thieves, of which he was the head, on the one side, and Sheriff Raines and posse of off cers on the other. After ten minutes battle, during which about one hundred shots were fired, Hendrickson was kill ed, receiving a wound in the head, his daughter, who was an active participant in the battle was fatally wounded in the left berast, and Deputy c. B. Booth was slightly wounded. Hendrickson and his gang were fugitives from Franklin county, where they were charged with a number of robberes. They had been in hiding in this county for some time past and were located here last week by detectives. Sunday as the officers neared the house they were met with volley from every win dow. They pressed forward and en- gagged in hand-to-hand fight with the thieves. Two thieves were captured and five escaped.

DURATION OF THE BATTLE.
Attracting Attention of strntcgists in
 WnshinrtOM-SOme Com pn riaOns.

Attracting Attention of strntogists in
 Some Companions.
 Washington, March 27.-The duration of the battle is beginning to attract the attention of army strategists, as it is a very important element in determining the strength of the men, the supplies of ammunition and stores and the spirit of the army. The first blow was struck before daybreak last Saturday and the fighting continued all that day, again on Sunday and now on Monday. The reports show little night fighting, ex- cept in repusing an insurgent attack Saturday night. With to-day the fight ing had lasted seventy-two hours. Judged by the standards of great bat ties. such as Waterloo, Plevena and others, this is a long and intensely ar duous engagement But the fighting about Manila is quite different from the standards of civilized armies, as it is a running brush conflict, with only occa- sional issues between organized bodies of troops Some of the battles of the civil war lasted many days, notably the battle of the Wilderness and the fight ing about Richmond In speaking of the element of endurance General Stern berg said to-day that he had gone for seven days in the continuous fighting around Richmond without renewing the supplies originally issued before the fighting began. The main question in these long continued fights is to have all supplies, stores, etc., kept abreast of the fighting force, so that there may be no exhaustion. In this respect all the reports of the fighting above Manila are most gratifying to the authorities here in showing that the quartermas- ter, commissary, medical and signal stores are well up with the fighting lines.

ALGER'S VISIT TO CUBA
IN CONFERENCE WITH THE DE-
 PARTMENT COMMANDERS.
Two of Them Declare 1t Would Ma terial1y Aid Them if They Knew Me- Kinley's Exact Policy in Respect to the Evacuation of the Islnnd-Alger Silent on the Question.

1 Havana, March 27.-Secretary Alger Cuba need not be considered as hay. ing special import He wishes to get
 business of the islands government and
 to talk with the generals who control
 the various military departments In
 this way he expects to gain more vivid
 impressions than would be possible
 from any official correspondence.
 Moreover, he will be able to get some rest and to enlarge his notions of West Indian geography Thus far his ex- perience has been busy, instructive and
 entertaining. He received callers on
 board the Ingalls before o'clock this morning and at he met the depart ment commanders in Governor General Brooke's drawing room at Fl Vedado. conference lasting three hours fol- lowed and after lunch the secretary drove with General Brooke to Camp Quemados, where he reviewed the Sev- enth army corps. This evening he was present at reception given in his hon. or at the residence of the governor gen. eral.
 At the morning conference, which was of a somewhat rambling character, some of the subjects discussed were the diminishing destitution, the slow revival of agricultural life, the peace that prevails in all the provinces, the excellent health of the United States forces and the unnecessariness of a large body of troops to maintain the existing order. Two of the department commanders said it would materially aid their labors if they know President McKinley's exact policy with respect to Cuba-whether the American occupa- tion was to be long or short. Both de- scribed themselves as working In the dark with respect to the ultimate pur- pose of the United States government. This uncertainty was to the length of the occupation, they declared, tended to promote restlessness among the Cubans. These observations, which were devel- oped in conversational way, did not elicit from the secretary of war any ex pression of opinion as to Washington's policy other than that the work ahead was to restore civil control and to mod fly the Spanish system wherever the governor general found 1t defective.

Contempt Case postponed.

Bridgeport, March 27.-When the jury in the Guilford trial was excused at 5 o'clock this afternoon the contempt case of Langdon Smith, the reporter of the New York Evening Journal, was taken rD before Judge Wheeler. Smith was represented by counsel. After some preliminary testimony George A. Diel, local manager of the Postal Telegraph company, was called to the stand and asked to produce the copy filed by Smith for the Evening Journal on the days specified. He said the rules of the com- pany forbade him without instructions from the superintendent in Boston. He had inquired about the matter, but had received no reply After some legal sparring between Smiths counsel and Attorney Fessenden it was decided by Judge Wheeler to continue the case un- til D. m. tomorrow, when the tele- graph story as filed at the telegraph office would in all probability be pro- duced.

FOR 6O,O0O CLOCK MOVEMENTS. Large Order Given Winsted FactOry-To
 Incrcnsc Running EourN.

Winsted, Conn.,, March 27.-The Will liam l.. Gilbert Clock company has re- ceived an order from the E. l.. Welch Clock company of Forestville for over 60,000 eight-day clock movements. As soon as the mechanics can get out the necessary tools work will be com- menced. The factory, which now em- ploys between 300 and 400 hands and runs ten hours a day, will increase the running time to thirteen hours, while the working force will be considerably augmented. It is estimated that it will take over year to complete the con- tract. The Welch company had their movement department destroyed by fire on the 1Tth of March and although they will rebuild 1t will take many months before operations can be resumed. Many of the Welch company's employees will be engaged by the Gilbert com- pany.
