INCLINATION ONLY
 THING NECESSARY
Prisoners Have Little Trouble in Escaping From City Jail.
SIXTEEN MADE THEIR EXIT
With an Old Shackle They Dug Through North Wall and Gained Liberty-SecondD Delivery
 in Past Six Weeks

The only necessary requisite to escape from the city prison nowadays appears to be the inclination on the part of the prison CTS themselves. The handiness with which prisoners walk out of the municipal bastile would indicate that picks and other tools are conveniently kept for the use of those who desire to make their exit.
 The second delivery within the past six weeks took place on Sunday night when sixteen dark hued convicts gained their liberty by digging through the northern wall with the aid of an old shackle. The escapes were all negroes and were serving sentences ranging from ten to sixty days. Their names are as follows: Milton Callo- way, William Cole, Moses Carter, Joe Coop CT, Summerfield Eide, Charles Evans, John Goosby, Thomas Jackson, Henry Jackson, Richard Mason, Jesse Patty, George Pol lard, George Tell, John Thomas, Charles Wilson, Louis Willard, John Winston.
 The negroes made their escape by digging a hole under one of the windows, over which blanket had been hung as ruse to keep out the cold.
 John Haag, the stevedore, was attracted by a noise and rushed to the window ir time to grab the seventeenth man, who was dragged back and locked up in cell. The matter was reported to Acting Warden Fair, and in turn reported to Night Cap tain Weir and Sergeant Johnston, who notified the patrolmen to be on the lookout for the escapes, who are all well known to the police.

The Annual Dance of Bohemia Gret t
 Success

The annual French ball, a lively side is- sue of the carnival, was held in South Twentieth street over the Crescent saloon last night, and revelry Ia Bohemia reigned until the streaks of dawn made dim the bright hall lights
 Wine, women and song was the pro- gramme, and many masks were not re- moved. Types of humanity from the loud bedecked tout to the plump oity official took part in the orgle, and regardless of reputa- tions the dance went on. To some it was enjoyment, others an annual spree.

WISDOM FROM BOSTON.
President Young Endorsed and ROW.
dyism Denounced by MIR. SOden.

dyism Denounced by MIR. SOden.
A special from Boston dated yesterday
quotes President Soden of the NATIONAL
League club of that city follows:
ANY talk that I have entered into
combination to turn President Young out of
office is all rubbish. In the first place, Mr.
Young has been elected for the remainder
of the term of the compact of ten years
now existing between the present parties
in the National League.
IN the next place, l have every conf
dence in Mr.. Young, and after our long
ard stanch friendship 1 would be the last
to take a hand in proposition that would
have as its object his removal from ONCE
l am sure Mr.. Young is not responsible for
any of the shortcomings Of the league to-
day. l have always found him most
painstaking and competent official. He
fully understands his business and does all
he can to promote the best interests OF the
National League. If Mr. Ban Johnson sue
ceeds so admirably in the American League
it is because he has the power and the
backing. In the National League game the
feeling of rivalry runs higher, the men are
more experienced and as a rule, more diff
cult to control. The Boston club will not
tolerate rowdyism, and l am sure If every
other club was run that way there would
not be the complaints we hear nowadays.
1--WE will not have foul language used by
any of our players. Again, our players
must nav their fines. 1t makes no differ
ence under what circumstances they are
inflicted the players must settle themselves.
If all clubs required their men to pay their
fines YOU would find there would not be the
kicking there is. AS long as owners OF
clubs tacitly encourage rowdyism by pay

A Wall From Yale.

Yales practice yesterday on the college
campus was very discouraging. 1t is evil
dent that the team is experiencing slump
Several of the players appear to be over
trained, notably Coy, Sharpe and Boomer
and several of the regular varsity are
laid off with slight injuries. Dick Sheldon
has a muscle bruise which prevents his
playing. Wear and Olcott have not played
in the last two games, and yesterday Les
lie Johnston was put in at quarter back
the college side.
There has been much criticism of Head
Coach Mcbride since the Columbia game
among the members of the university.
There is a feeling that Yale with a wealth
of material, is allowing a great chance to
slip by because of a lack of the right kind
of coaching. Yesterday Head Coach Nc
Bride remained in the background and
Frank Butterworth took charge of the
coaching.
The varsity scored one touchdown by
straight rushing, and Sharpe kicked a goal
from the field for the college. The general
work of both teams was ragged and unsat-
iSfactOry.

Tigers Battle Among Themselves.
Princeton University field was the scene
of magnificent gridiron contest yester-
day, which from spectacular as well as
scientific foot ball point of view could not
be surpassed by many championship games.
1t was only the varsity Tigers having a
practice game with the scrub Tigers, but
it looked like contest of more conse-
quence. The halves We're thirty minutes
in length, and the players tested their en-
durance.
For the entire first half the two teams
struggled desperately to make gains, but
the ball never got within twenty-five yards
of either goal, so evenly were the two
teams matched and SO stubborn was the
defense of each.
Nearly every attempt of the varsity
backs to rush around the end was frus-
trated by the magnificent work of the scrub
ends, Singer and Montgomery, who tackled
with absolute precision. Montgomerys
playing was one of the sensations of the
day, heretofore he has not been doing
brilliant work, and his performance came
as a surprise.
On the other hand Roper and r. Nc
Clave the varsity ends, just as effectually
stopped the mad rushes of the scrub backs.

CALLED ENGLAND'S BLUFF.

Russian Diplomat Won Port Arthur
by a Coup After Peace Rumor.
Count Murayieff's most famous
coup" was the grabbing Of Port Ar
thur. Concerning that bit of active
diplomacy on the part Of the late Rus
sian Minister, the following story is
being told: Muravieff, it is said, heard
at the psychological moment in the ne
gotiations during the Chinese crisis Of
two years ago Of Queen Victoria's
avowed determination never to sign an
other declaration of war. With this
knowledge at command he held the key
IF the situation in the far East.
He knew that Great Britain would
not risk war,% and, therefore, he
read the brave talk about the 'open
door, with smile, and received Lord
Sal!sbury's protests thereby as signi
flying SO many pretty phrases and his
yelled threats as simply bluff. In this
way, say those who believe the story,
lies the explanation of that sudden
withdrawal of the British ships of war
from Port Arthur after they had gone
In with such brave parade. They were
sent as an ultimatum, but the Admiral
discovered that there was nothing at
the back Of the ultimatum.
In short, MEravieff's discovery Of the
alleged determination Of the Queen
never to sign another declaration Of
war enabled him to accomplish without
L shot what Russia had secretly been
striving to reach for centuries. In the
anguage of the new diplomacy, it was
he scoop of the century.
