prohibition national ticket next fall.
| The vote four years ago was approx

Cambridge. Mass, June 25-The Har-
ward baseball team left Cambridge this
afternoon for Hartford Conn, where
they will stay tonight and go down to
New Haven in the morning to play
their second game with Yale. After
the crushing defeat of last Thursday the
Harvard team has been changed consid-
erably. Laughlin, who quarreled with
Captain Reid more than a week ago,
came back to the squad this afternoon,
apologiZed and asked to be taken on
the trip as substitute. Captain Reid
granted his request and Laughlin will
probably play in the last part of to-
morrows game.
Coburn, who pitched on the freshman
team, probably will pitch tomorrow, as
the other pitchers have proved unrelia-
Bile. Captain Reid will not be able to
play adm Milne will take his place In
case of third game to play off the tie,
Harvard will return to Cambridge to-
morrow night and leave for New York

MINISTER WI ASKS
FOR AN ARMISTICE
DESIRES DELAY UNTIL III HUNG
CHANG REACHES PEKIN.
Proposition q Novel One-Prestdonf Z
Answers That He Cannot Bind Him

cans Are Threatened-StilI No News
From Minister COnger ut Pekin-
Another Day of Anxiety.

Washington, June 25.-The chief de-
velopment to-day in the Chinese situa-
ton was the effort of the Chinese min
lister, WI Ting Fang, to secure an ar
mistice in the operations of American
troops until Ii Hung Chang could reach
Pekin and bring about a cessation OF
the disorder. The proposition is rather
a novel one and is based upon the rep
reservations of the viceroyS of the i'm
portant provinces of the Yang-Tse-
Kiang valley that they can maintain or
der without the aid Of foreign troops
and that the presence of the foreigners
would act merely as an incentive to dis
order. Minister WI brought these rep
reservations to the attention of Secre-
tary Hay, who consulted the president,
The latters decision, as subsequently
conveyed to the minister was that
while the assurances of the viceroys for
continued quiet was fully appreciated
the United States could not bind itself
not to send it's forces to points where
disorder actually existed and where the
safety of our officials was endangered.
Technically speaking in the absence of
q SldlG VI Ndly llllS was ilOl Il pIOpOnI-
tion for armistice, but a high govern
ment official said it amounted practic
ally to an offer of an armistice and a
refusal on the part of the United States
to make the arrangement
Secretary Long said at p. m. when
he left the navy department for the day
that nothing had come from Admiral
Kempff on the casualties of the first en-
gagement of the American marines with
the Chinese or on the outcome of the
second engagement which was to have
occurred yesterday or Saturday. The
state department remained throughout
the day without informa ton from Min
lister Conger or any other source, the
only dispatch received being from Con-
sui John Goodnow at Shanghai, say
ing he had heard nothing from Pekin
since the fourteenth instant. On the
whole the day was one of anxiety and
lack of definite information on the main
points.

FOR SUPERIMPOSED TURRETS.
Secretary Long Decides for Them Fiv
NV ships to he Equipped.

Washington, June 25.-Secretary Long
to-day approved the findings of the ma
val board recommending that three of
the five new battleships shall be built
with superimposed and waist eight-inch
turrets, and that the remaining two of
the new battleships shall have quadril-
aterally arranged eight-nch turrets,
This turret question has been source
of lively controversy in naval circles.
The chief division was as to retain
ing the superimposed turrets, as on the
Kentucky and the Kearsarge, or going
back to the system of placing turrets
quadrilaterally, so as to fire in broad
sides. On this the board divided, some
favoring the superimposed turrets.
while five We're for quadrilateral tur-
rets, and Captain Barker favored
compromise, building part Of each type.
The report of the board says:
I'm view of the strong minority of
five members, Captain Barker dissent
ing from either proposition, it was final
ly decided to recommend three battle
ships with superimposed eight-inch
turrets and two with four independent
eight-inch turrets arranged quadrilat-
orally. This was agreed to by twelve
of the thirteen members constituting
the board Naval Constructor Taylor
only voting against it,
Constructor Taylor in his dissenting
report says: "To divide these vessels
between two types is to definitely adj
vertise to the world that, although we
have cop1plated two sl1Derino ppced tur-
ret vessels, we do not know whether or
not they are better than if they had
been built with separate turrets"

HARVARD CREW,S PLIGHT.
Higginson's Absence Causes Somt-
what D.mornIized Condition.


Harvard Quarters. Gales Ferry,
Conn. June 25.--What was probably
the best crew Harvard ever had, in the
opinion of some experts, before the ac-
cident to Captain Higginson, is tonight
in a somewhat demoralized condition,
and the effect of the change in the crew
wes manifest in their work tonight. The
order was the same as in the morning,
Harding at stroke and Bullard at No
2 1t hardly could be expected as yet
that the men would get together, but
the work tonight was far from what is
looked for from crew with any hopes
of winning. AS but one day more of
coaching remains the showing the men
will make in the race now depends upon
themselves and not on the coaching.
The men are working with will and
strong determination to make a salts
factory showing on Thursday. The hot
weather to-day visibly effected the men
and caused them to lose weight The
varsity four oar tonight elected as
captain Rail Tilden of Cambridge,

The crews went out about o'clock
might, the freshmen first, Goodrich
coaching in the launch. B. f. Tilton of
the 90 crew, Richard Bullard of the
'96 crew, Bradley Of SS, and num-
Der of other old oarsmen, graduates Of
Harvard, We're on board. Goodrich had
the crew row up as far as Gales Ferry,
and his main topic for coaching was
for the men to keep together This keep
ing together, or the lack of it, seems to
be one of the principal faults of the
boat.
The varsity crew went up the river to
Allyns Point, turned around and came
back and the effect fthe change in
the boat made necessary by Captain
Higginson's accident was apparent On
coming back to the boat house the men
tried racing starts with the freshmen,
giving the latter handicaps, and in the
three starts the freshmen were defeated
This was due, however, more to poor
rowing on the part of the freshmen than
excellence of the varsity. After the
crews had concluded practising starts
they came back to the boat house and
the practice work of the day came to an
end. The water was in perfect condi-
tion.

Lincoln, Neb, June 25-W. J. Bryan
returned to-day from his Wisconsin fish
ing trip and will remain here until after
the democtai ic national convention. He
said he had been placed in a wrong po-
sition by some one who has presumed to
outline his plan of campaign. ANY
statements made by anybody In regard
to my campaign plans are without foun-
dation or authority" he added
Mr.. Bryan was asked whether he could
say anything in regard to the platform
to be adopted at Kansas City He re-
piled: No one. of course, can say
what language will be used in setting
forth the party's principles. But some
idea can be obtained as to the general
nor of the platform from the platforms
adopted in the state conventions. AS
a large majority Of the delegates have
been elected by conventions which af
firmed the Chicago platform it is safe
to assume that the Kansas City plat
form will reafiirm the Chicago platform,
and will contain nothing which can be
construed as a surrender or modifica-
ton of the platform on the old issues,
ut is equally certain that there will
be strong and definite planks against
trusts There is also no doubt that the
plank against imperialism will be clear
and explicit Mlitiarism will be de-
nounced ard sympathy expressed for the
Beers. This much is evident from what
has already taken place"
