Who is to Blame !

AT the last session of the legis-
lature, that body changed the
time for holding courts in the 9Th
circuit. BY some means-not ac-
counted for-there was no provls-
ion made for opening the court of
common pleas. In the Ledger of
14th LEX" has this to say:
"The existence of Section 26 of
the Code appears to have been
entirely overlooked by the LegIs-
lature; and In the repeating
clause has the Act which is gen.
eral and sweeping, this Section
26, which was the only authority
for holding the courts of Common
Pleas at the summer terms, was
overlooked, and not retained. So
If this Section 26 of the Code is
repealed by the recent Act, there
is now no authority for holding
the court of Common Pleas at
the June term. Such appears to
be the obvious construction of
the effect Of the recent Act.

Subsidized.

Witnesses.
EXPECTS COMBINATIONS.

Renes, Aug. 2O.-General MERCER, who
was minister of war when Captain
Dreyfus was condemned, and who in
the present trial is the virtual prose-
cutor, was called upon this afternoon
by the correspondent of the Associated
Press, who invited him to make
statement of the position of the anti
Dreyfusards.
Although unable to receive the cor
respondent in person, General MERCER
sent his eldest son to convey the follow
ing expression of his views.
General MERCER considers it useless
to attempt to convert foreign opinion
regarding the Dreyfus question, i'll
which, moreover, foreigners have
no right to intervene.
Foreign peoples have been misled
by their press, which is violently Drey-
fusard, for the very good reason that
majority of the foreign newspapers
have been bribed by the Jewish syn
dictate. General MERCER considers
anything he might say explaining his
position which is that of majority OF
the French people, would be useless.
The best reply to Dreyfusards abroad
Will NC lIlG OIL DGGyLuS
This condemnation is only a matter
of ten Gays or a fortnight, for CON
demned Dreyfus certainly will be. For
eigners will then see that their journals
have deceived them, for they will
recognize that the mass of
the French nationwide will receive the
news of the conviction of Dreyfus as
joyful tidings-is not composed of fools,
and that, if the majority of French APP
plaud the condemnation it will be be-
cause it is just and merited."
The Associated Press correspondent
then called upon Maitre Labor, who
lives within 200 yards of General Mer-
cier, the houses of both being guarded by
gendarmes and detectives who sit In
chairs in the roadway in front of the
| houses.
Maitre Labor was taking the air il
the garden. He has been suffering Sc.
verely from insomnia and today was
feverish and excited. The wound il.
| self has not made the progress the doc.
tors hoped for, although there has beer
no relapse.
| In view of his general condition, his
medical advisers oppose his going tC
| court tomorrow, as he had desired
They predict that the exertion would
| so oVertax his strength as TO compel
him to take to his bed, which he would
| probably not leave, in that event, for
a month.
Tuesday or Wednesday, therefore
| will more probably see his reappear-
ance in court. He will be provided
with specially constructed chair that
will enable him to conduct the cross
examination at the outset without ris-
ing from his seat. Maitre Labori is
intensely anxious to return to court
even if he has to be carried on an am
bulance.
He is dissatisfied with Maitre De-
manages conduct of the case thus far,
and on his return he intends to have
General MERCER and the other generals
back upon the witness stand. After
reading their evidence, he is confident
of his ability to crush MERCER and he
expects to use the Schneider and Pan
J izzardi kilograms also to confound

Gov. and Mrs. Roosevelt arrived here
this evening. They left Chautauqua

or and Mrs. Roosevelt seemed to thor
oughly enjoy the beautiful scenery

the Yale graduate committee, who went
to England with the YaleHarvard team,
returned on the American line steamer
New York today With him were E. j.
Wendell. the team manager, and some of
the athletes. 1t was rumored that one
cause of Mr.. Camps visit to the other side
was to secure Bob Cook, Yales veteran
coach. to again train the Yale crew. 1t is
said that DIR. Gallaudet. head of the Yale
coaches, will be assisted by the graduates
who assisted in the coaching this season,
and that the invitation might include
Cook.
Bob Cook is at present pesiding at Su-
resne, near Paris. Mr.. Camp met Cook
and had a chat with him Today. when
seen on the pier, Mr.. Camp denied that he
made any effort to secure Cook for Yale

with him ! did not see him on business
of any kind, and made no overtures to
him to return as coach "

BIRDS ALL RECEIVED.
Kansas Quail Arrive in Worcester in Elk
ceIIent Condition.

The Worcester County Game Protective
Association has received the last of the
order of rs dozen Kansas quail placed a
month ago with a western dealer The
birds arrived in excellent condition and are
unusually rugged and strong The work
of liberating the birds in suitable covers
within ten miles of Worcester was com
menced last night and the expectation is
that the difficult task of properly placing
the birds will be completed before the
close of the week The york Is being done
Crompton and H. A. Mower, all of whom
had experience with the work last spring
and have hunted the territory until every
corner of proper quail cover is thoroughly
known.
The association is particularly gratified
at the condition in which the birds ar
rived in Worcester. In one lot received
last spring, over one-third were dead or
nearly so on arrival, while many of the
strength enough to fly away. The birds
now housed at Mr.. Swans home on
Pleasant street are strong of wing and
arrived in Worcester without the loss of
a bird When the vote to buy rs dozen
quail was passed at the annual meeting,
it was feared by the skeptics that the
money for a continuance Of the quail ex-
pertinent would not be Forthcoming. Not
only sufficient money to buy the birds at
enough money is in the treasury to pur-
chase many times as many more. 1t is
doubtful If more of the birds of the right
sort can be procured in time for liberia
tion this year, but the attempt will be
made.

FLAHeRTY WILLING.
He win Make Match With Sweeney If
He Can Get Backing.

Joe Flaherty returned last evening
from his home in Lowell, where he
spent the last few days. During his alb
sence talk of a match between him and
Patsy Sweeney has been rife in Wor-
cester boxing circles. There is no
doubt regarding the desires of the
Sweeney people. His manager, Spike
Sullivan, announces that he will per-
NIT Sweeney to match with the Lowell
man, but will not take a hand in back
ing him. George P. King, who was
associated with Sullivan in backing
Sweeney against Lawler, is willing to
match Sweeney against Flaherty re-
CARELESS of Sullivan's participation in
the match. King pulled a good bit of
anxious to wager it again.
Flaherty told The Spy man last eve
ming he would like a chance at Swee-
ney, and thinks a match likely. He
says he did not attempt to get any
backing in Lowell but thinks he can
secure a side bet in Worcester. A
Worcester sporting man who knows
the game about as well as anybody
else in this city, told Flaherty he
would put $3.50 in the stakes. Flaherty
thinks he can get a similar amount
from other sports. He would then take
on Sweeney for Memorial day.
Flaherty does not say much concern
ing the proposition. He simply says he
is willing to make the match if he can
get the backing. He intends to open a
boxing school at 425 Main street in a
few days.

WANTS ANOTHER GO.
Dinsdale Would Like Second Match
With Rosenberg.

]. Fred Dinsdale of this city is anx-
ious to meet Norris Rosenberg of Bos-
ton in any kind of boxing match for
a purse and side bet So Dinsdale in
formed The Spy man last evening in
answer to a statement from Rosenberg,
which appeared in Boston papers yes
terday. Rosenberg expressed a desire
to meet Dinsdale at 124 pounds.
An attempt was made to bring to-
gether Rosenberg and Patsy Sweeney
at catchweights. Rosenberg would
have none of that in his, but insisted
on Sweeney coming to 124 pounds. A
battle between them at that figure is
out of the question, as Sweeney cannot
reach that weight. Failing to get
Sweeney on, Rosenberg viii undoubt-
eddy reach for Dinsdale. The latter
won't side-step any such offer.
Dinsdale can get enough backing in
Worcester to make it an object for Ro-
senberg to drop all other engagements.
The men met a few weeks ago in East
Cambridge for what was scheduled a
10-round go, but it was stopped by the
police. Dinsdale certainly had the
best Of the bout, but no harm was done
on either side.

READY TO HELP OUT.
Manager Thyme of the LoweIIs Acts in q
a sportmanIlke Manner

The third exhibition game of the Wor-
cesters is booked for this afternoon, at
the oval, the opposing team being the
professional aggregation from Lowell.
The latter team will have another pitch
er for todays game and expects to play
better ball than it did yesterday, which
was the first game it ever played to-
gether.
The manager of the Lowells deserves
considerable credit for the steps he took
Saturday to help out Manager Leonard
of the Worcesters.
Manager Leonard telephoned the CEN
trail office at Lowell Saturday morning,
instructing the operator there to have
Manager Thyme call him up at the Waldo
House at 1890 o'clock. When the Lowell
man received the message, he concluded
that the Carriers had disappointed the
Worcesters and that Manager Leonard
wanted the Lowell team Saturday after
noon. Before the appointed time to call
up the Worcester manager, he got his
team together to take the / o'clock train
out of Lowell If his surmise proved cor
rect. Had Carter sent notice of his in
tention of disappointing Worcester, Man
ager Leonard could have gotten a team
on even such short notice.

FORTUNATE ONES.
First Trial of the Season
Rowed at the Lake
Yesterday.

Weyer ~, Carroll ~, Hagberg 90,
Taylor a., Cosgrove 90, Perry go,
Johnson Cd and DAILY (stroke) made
up the high school crew that rowed the
first trial of the season at the lake yes
terday afternoon, and that means the
above will be the crew as finally Sc
lected. with perhaps single excep-
ton.
The coach. James A. Ten Eyck, has
not definitely determined that the above
men will form the school eight, but it
is doubtful if any of the other candi-
dates can displace the men as named.
The crew made change in training
yesterday. The lads went to the lake
to row at o'clock in the morning. Sid
ney Mason, regular coxswain of the
crew. did not accompany the remain
der of the boys, and will not be on
hand for the early morning row. he
is preparing for the examinations at
Harvard. and cannot devote all his time
to practice with the crew. He was
not missed yesterday morning. There
was a superiority of starboard oars at
the training quarters, and Cosgroye,
who is booked for No. 5 seat, took the
rudder ropes.
Taylor showed up for the afternoon
row. and took his regular position at
No. 4, the seat he occupied last year.
He got a low mark in the examination
last week. but was allowed to make it
up, and he stands square on the books
at the school, The other crew man
who was under the standard is jack
son, and there is little prospect of his
rowing with the crew unless he does
extra work and places himself right in
his studies.
The crew rowed three miles yester-
day, and it was the first time this year
that three miles were rowed without a
break. There was a head wind against
the crew. but the shell was kept under
the Worcester shore off which the
wind blew and a portion of the
handicap was thus overcome. The lads
rowed to the satisfaction of the coach,
who accompanied them in his she'll
Sore hands trouble the boys consid-
erably now, but they grit their teeth
and worked off the pain, for the time
is too short to allow them rest. They
will continue their morning rows for
the present, and will also row in the
afternoon. The men will be given
their seats as soon as possible, and the
same crew rowed day after day, if pos
sible.
