l home. which numbered about 500, set up | a triumphant shout. There were cheers for the baby, for the father and mother and for the police. The crowds in- ] creased until about o'clock the street | was blocked A telegram was received at police headquarters that Baby Clark would arrive in the city about 10 o'clock. Chief Devery, Captain Me- Cluskey and two detectives hurried to the 42d street ferry to meet MT. Clark, who was coming with two officers and
 the baby. When MT. Clark arrived on this side of the river he and his baby were rushed into a carriage. A de- tective got on the box with the driver
 and told him to drive for his life
 The detective started the carriage on a run. Behind it came a procession of carriages of all descriptions filled with officers and curious people. The strange parade dashed through 42d street, to- ward Eighth avenue at a furious pace It was like a runaway funeral. It turned up Eighth avenue and into 57th street, when they struck the concrete the procession increased it's speed and people along the street seemed to di- vine the meaning and they set up a cry Here comes Baby Marion" Scores of people ran after the carriages as fast as they could and followed them to the Clark house. MT Clark rushed up the inner steps and met his wife at the top The mother took the child in her arms and wept and sobbed.
 The crowd on the outside yelled to see the baby and MT. Clark held the child up to the window so that all could see it. This was greeted with great cheers Then they cried for Mrs Clark and the child. Mrs. Clark appeared holding the baby in her arms. This was more than even the least emotional ones of the great crowd could stand and they yelled frantically; some sobbed hysterically, some laughed and many simply shouted themselves hoarse.

l OXFORD CH4LLENGE.
 Provisional Acceptance Received Re- l modelling of College Athletics.

London June 1.-Charles N. Jackson,
 treasurer of Hertford college, Oxford,
 who will have charge of the Oxford and
 Cambridge athletic team which will
 compete with the team representing
 Yale and Harvard next month, said this
 evening to the correspondent of the As
 sociated Press: q have received the
 Yale and Harvard provisional accept ance of the Oxford and Cambridge chal-
 lenge, but I am unable to give out the text of the challenge until the details
 are settled, as promise to that effect
 has been given to the Americans. I may say, however that the English unl-
 versailles have been assured that a con- siderable amelioration has been effect ed in America as regards the organiza-
 tion of college athletics there, particu- larly in respect of the status of anna teurs. This is especially true at Yale and Harvard which, rightly or wrong fully, England regards as the heads of the American college system.
 Information which has recently reached here leads us to believe that these universities are doing their best tp ltlIltttl lllCll dtliltlitS iil ttit ptt0iE of Oxford and Cambridge; and 1t is in consequence of this that the proposed contests are being arranged. Such meeting we believe will be of much ben- eft to athletes in England as we'll as in America, because it will show the world that the universities of both countries have decided that their athletics must be absolutely divorced from the least taint of professionalism. To attempt match on any other ground would be useless; and 1t is relative to the best means of carrying this out that tenn pause in the arrangements has occurred. Personally I have no fear. The prelimnaries will be speedily com pleted. It may be necessary to call a meeting of Oxford and Cambridge to the American suggestions; but l hope the latter will be so modified that they can be presented to the committee in complete form, only needing formal tion.
 Then we can prepare forthwith for the contests, arrange general course of training for the events and complete our plans to entertain our American guests. It has not yet been decided MDGlIitE IL IS tO Je upDll all parties to have all four universities rep resented in each event or whether each side may construct teams in it's own way. In any event, those having the matter in hand are most sincerely de- sirous that the matter should occur and be credit to all concerned, The date has not yet been decided upon. We hope now that July P may be selected, as July Is would conflict with the San down Park (Eclipse) meeting, a fash ionaDle event. Much interest has al ready been awakened in athletic circles, and this will increase rapidly as soon as the preliminaries are complete

BRIT-IIN AND THE TR1 1NSTI AL.
Firm stand of Boer Government on tn C
 Dynamite Question.

| Bloemfontain Orange Free State, | June 1.-Among the most important points that President Paul Kruger of the Transvaal republic and Sir Alfred | Milner, governor of Cape Colony and | British high commissioner for South Africa, will have to discuss at their conference here in regard to the de- mands of the Outlanders will be the question of the dynamite monopoly, un- der which the Outlanders are groanng
 and which the British secretary of state for the colonies, Joseph Chamberlain, has used his utmost endeavors to rem edy. But q blue book on the subject issued to-day shows that matters in this connection have practically reached a deadlock.
 The blue book opens with q letter
 from MT, Chamberlain, dated January
 13, reviewing the whole questiond and
 protesting that the monopoly was in
 consistent with the London convention.
 To this the Transvall government re-
 piled, under date of March 9. contro-
 verting the arguments of MT Chamber
 lain and stating that her majesty's gov
 ernment was not entitled to a protest.
 MT. Chamberlain on April 21. however, renewed the British protest, adding that her majesty's government reserved it's rights. In answer to this the Trans vaal government replied on May 22 with two curt sentences to the effect that it abided with the views expressed in it's communication of March 9.

Arguments for Dreyfus.

Paris, June 1.-The court of cessation, guments in the application for revision of the Drayfus case. The same audience as on the previous days of the hearing was present, but the rest of the palace of justice was deserted. Maitre Nor nard, counsel for Mime. Dreyfus, resum- ed his speech. He reviewed the facts in favor of Dreyfus. He expects to close his speech to-day.
 Maitre Mornards speech was largely a rethreshing of straw already thor oughly threshed out by NM. Ballet de Beaupre and Monau. He warmly eulo- gized the report of M. Ballet de Baupre and applaude1 tine conclusions arrived at by M. Monau. Counsel for Mime. DrGyfus concluded with protesting against the idea that even for the sake of the honor of the army might should dominate over right. He said the army itself was thirsting for honor and jus- tice to be rendered. and he pointed out that the army could not be dishonored by the acknowledgment that a judicial error had been committed Counsel then said: 'I am awaiting your verdict, be- lieving it will prove to be the blessed dawn which will throw upon our be- loved country the light of concord and truth" (Applause.)
 The court then announced that sen- tence would be delivered at one of the approaching sessions of the court. It is generally surmissd that this means sen- tence will be delivered on Saturday at the opening of the sitting of the court.

 Tc be Taken Up Again by District At- torney's Offer.

New York, June 1.-The case for mur- der against Roland B. Molineux will be taken up again by the district attorney s office early next week. One of Colonel Gardiner's assistants will apply to a judge of the general sessions for per- mission to resubmit the case to the Sn- coming grand jury. As the old indict- ment on the charge of murder was dis missed on the grounds of admission of illegal evidence the district attorney may submit the case again upon secur- ing permission to do so from a general sessions judge. BartoW $. Weeks, cOun- sel for Molineux, was asked to-day on what grounds the judge could grant permission for a resubmissIon ot the charge. MT. Weeks replied: "On the ground that the district attorney has new evidence to submit. I can't think of any other, and I don't think he has any new evidence.'

How Moss Life Was Saved"

New York, June 1.-Captain Price to- day for the first time told the story of how he saved the life of Frank Moss, at which he hinted on the witness stand in the Mazet inquiry yesterday. It was in the early eighties, said Price, while Moss was counsel for the notori- ous Business Mems association, in Twenty seventh street Moss perse- cuted an old man so that he died. A son of the dead man held Moss re- sponsble for what he called his fla thers murder, and he started out to kill Moss. I stopped him, took a revolver from his hand and saved Moss life. The man-he was a youth then--is a. reputable business man in this city to- day. Moss knows this, but if he denies 1t I will produce the man, the gun and the absolute proof"

WRECK ON CENIR4L NEW ENGLAND
Twelve Hours Taken to Clear Tracks
 Considerable Damage.

Winsted, June 1.-The freight wreck on the Central New England railroad that occurred here early this morning was net cleared away until after 1 p, n., twelve hours after the accident oc- cured. The wreck resulted from an east bound freight train running into several freight cars on the main track that were loaded with iron stringers for the new bridge at Tariffville. It was the most disastrous wreck that occurred on the road for some time. Four cars were reduced to kindiing wood and the locomotive was so badly damaged that it was taken to the repair shops. En- gineer Shaffer of Hartford, who did not jump until about second before the collision. had a narrow escape, as he struck close to the engine and if it had left the rails he would have been killed. His fireman and all the train crew jumped and escaped injury.

Dreyftis Not Aboard.

Colon, Colombia, June 1.-The French steamer Lafayette, Captain DeChape- lin, from St. Naxaire, for Colon, by way of Fort DeFrance, Martinique, French West Indies, arrived here to-day. The correspondent of the Associated Press has ascertained positively that Dreyfus is not on board, It is improbable that the French government in taking Drey- fus back for a new trial, would send him so far west as Colon, although a re- port to this effect was circulated here.

 New York, June 1.-Arthur Clark the father of the abducted child, Marion Clark, accompanied by Chief of Police Devery and Captain McClusky, arrived in this city at 10:30 p. m. bringing back the infant, which had been missing for twelve days. From the depot in Weehawken, the party made their way as rapidly as possible to the Clark home in East 65th street. Hundreds of people were gathered before the house and the party with the baby had to struggle through the frantic crowd There was continuous cheering from the people banked around the carriage as it drove up to the front door and in spite of the efforts of the police to keen the sidewalks clear the child was almost suffocated in the crush of the people who were so anxious to get glimpse of the baby. It was about o'clock in the afternoon when Detec- tive Weller took to the parents the news of the finding of the child, and i'll a short time afterwards MT. Clark left the house with the detective. The two went first to the East Sixth street po- lice station and then to police headquar- lters. At o'clock they took the train rfor West Haverstraw, where the child was. About ' o'clock Mrs. Clark re- ceiyed a message that MT. Clark had positively identified the child. As the Tdetective informed the mother, she rsIipped from her chair and on her knees ihffered a prayer of thanks.
