Princetonians can easily prove. is that he
| has not resided one calendar year at col
| lege since he won place in an open track
event. as his victory in the 1o0-yard ANA
| teur Athletic Union championship at Bos-
ton last August is matter of public rec
ord.
A hearing or the question viii be held
| before the members of the advisory and
executive committees on May "a. the day
prior to the games. 1t is the general con-
sensus Of opinion among the collegians that
the Georgetown man will be promptly ruled
out, as he will be unable to show cause
why he should be admitted, contrary to
these rules.
The ruling will not affect Dury's ANA
teur standing, however. and judging by his
fast work in PHILADELPHIA two weeks ago
he will probably have numerous opportuni-
ties next summer to win medals in outside
| amateur contests to condole his disappoint-
ment in not being able to pose as the star
college sprinter.
What Duffy Says.
Duffy continues to train at Georgetown
for the annual intercollegiate games despite
the protest that has been raised against
him. He does not seem to be worried over
the charges that have been brought against
him, and seems to think that no action I'M
favorable to him will be taken.
He said this morning that the protest
against him Is caused by new rule, which
provides that no runner shall enter COL
legiate championship event. who has won
an open race, unless he shall have resided
a year at the college under whose colors
he runs.
Another rule provides that no athlete
shall represent any college unless he shall
have registered and commenced studies by
October 10. The latter rule does not cause
any trouble, as Duffy registered at George
town october 4 of last year. In the other
rule 1t is claimed that the question which
has to be discussed Is whether a calendar
year or a college year Is meant. If the lat
ter is the case he will be entitled to run.
having been at Georgetown for a college
year. II the former should be the case il
might bar him. it is admitted unless the
rule did not become operative until the lat
ter part of last September. This is the first
time that the question has ever been raised
Duffy stated to a Star reporter today that
he did not know when the rule was adopt-
ed, though it was a comparatively new
one, and over 1t the whole trouble lies.
Regarding the statement that he took the
examinations for Princeton and failed he
makes an indignant denial. He stated that
he never took an examination OF any sort
at the place. The only time he ever visited
Princeton was last September, when he
came from Boston to participate in the
games on Traver's Island, N. Y Upon I'M
vitation he visited the university for four
or five days.
Duffy's friends say many charges have
been preferred against him, but there has
been found to be no foundation to any. All
attempts to destroy his amateur status
have proved frutless, and charges that he
was maintained by summer club have
been equally as groundless. Even IL the pro.
test of Princeton is sustained, it will not
interfere with his Paris trip.

HER BIGGEST ARMY
Over 100000 British Soldiers
to Fight the Beers.
SECRETARY WYNDHAM'S FIGURES
Only Eighty Thousand Men Of Thit
Force Now ut the TrOMt-Ac-
tivitv at NavyYards.

London, Feb. 3.-Mr. Wyndham's
remarkable declaration in the house OF
commons that Great Britain will have
in a fortnight $780, 900 regulars in South
Africa. 200 Canadians and Austria liant
and $4,000 South African volunteers is
received with wCnlerment. OF this
total of $4,000 troops, with asp guns,
all are now there with the exception Of
$4,000 that are ahoat. Beyond com.
parison this is the largest force Great
Britain has ever put into the field. Al
the end of the Crimean war she had
scraped together $4,000. Wellington,
at Waterloo, had $4,000. Mr.. Wynd.
hams speech was the strongest de.
tense the government has yet put for
ward as to what has been done and is
being done.
The general tone OF the morning
papers is that his figures will astonish
the country. Roughly speaking, only
80, 600 men are at the front. Ten
thousand others have been lost, and
. 10, 900 are shut up at Ladysmith. Ex-
Guiding these there are 10000 troops
who have not yet been in action, in
AuulClOu 10 CnOSe NJ sea.
Why SO many electives have not yet
been engaged is explained by the lack
OF land transportation and the organi-
cation OF supplies, to which Lord Rob.
erts is devoting his experience and Lord
Kitchener his genius for details. 1t
seems as though the weight OF these
masses must destroy the equilibrium
which now holds the British forces sta.
tionary wherever they are in contact
with the Boer army.
Lack OF transports and organization
will not explain adequately why,
when generals at the front request re-
endorsements, they get them in rather
small numbers. knowledge is slowly
penetrating to London that large garri-
sons must be kept in Cape Colony to
hold down the Cape Dutch, who, as
every one knows, outnumber the Brit
ish residents there three to two.
Gable scraps received during the
last 70 hours do not further illuminate
the military operations. Various indie
pendent correspondents confirm the
report that General Butler told his
troops January 20 that he hoped to re.
lieve Ladysmith within week. 1t is
believed in some trustworthy quarters
that he is again assailing the Boer
lines.
A further list of casualties published
by the war office brings the total from
the crossing of the Tugela to the aban-
donment OF Spionkop to 1885 officers
and men.
Exceptional activity at the navy
yards continues, but a correspondent OF
the press learns that this is chiefly new
construction and retitting work. Three
ships will be commissioned at Devon
port this month.
Some unpleasant criticism of the
war Office has been caused by the dis.
covery that the sights OF Lee Enfield
carbines are detective. Old carbines
have been supplied to the outgoing
Fourth brigade OF cavalry.

THE PLAGUE SITUATION.
Heroic Efforts Taken At Honolulu ia

Heroic Efforts Taken At Honolulu to
Check the Disease.
San Francisco. Feb. 3.-The steamer
Australia, seven days from Honolulu,
arrived today and reports that up to
the time of her departure, Al deaths
from plague had occurred, and there
was a total of so cases. The Australia
had ON board rs passengers. the larg.
est number which ever came to this
port on a single steamer from the
Hawaiian islands.
In an effort to stamp out the plague,
it was decided to burn one Of the blocks
in Chinatown. The fire was started.
and it gained such Roadway that the
fire department could not control it.
The flames spread rapidly from one
block to another and soon the whole
Chinese quarter was destroyed. Hard
ly house was left standing in the dis
trict. The Chinese and other residents
If the district fled from their homes
in terror, and were unable to save
much OF their effects. AS a result OF
the destruction of the Chinese quarter,
1000 people were rendered homeless,
and they are now living in tents.
The fire destroyed IL blocks, bound
ed by kukui, Queen and Nunau streets.
The most notable building burned was
the Kaumakakpili, II prominent land
mark, and the most comfortable edifice
of its kind in Honolulu. 1t contained
a large pipe organ, valued at $4,000.
The steamship Iroquois rendered valu-
able aid. She put out two lines of
hose which saved the Honolulu iron
works.
The Australians passengers were
taken off and placed in the quarantine
station at Angel island, where they will
remain till tomorrow.
According to advices from Honolulu.
the transport Aztec, which left this
port for Hilo. with 400 mules and
horses, may not attempt to land her
cargo ut Hilo. Lighters would have
to be employed, as the wharf there cam
not accommodate the Aztec. At pres.
ent the weather conditions are such
that the horses cannot be landed safely,
and it is expected that the Aztec will
have to return to Honolulu.
There was small riot at the deten-
ton camp at Honolulu the night of the
god, owing to the refusal OF the author
tiles to allow the Japanese to burn
lot OF new lumber for fuel purposes.
and because they were restrained from
burning new cottage in which one of
their number had died of the plague.
The arrival OF the reserves ended the
troubles, and careful watch is being
kept, as the Japanese are exceedingly
sulen and some have armed themselves
with clubs.
Affairs at Hilo have quieted, and no
more trouble is expected.
