Washington, Dec. 21-While no official
confirmation can be obtained at the White
house, 1t is believed that President Roose-
yelt has offered the treasury portfolio to
Governor Crane of Massachusetts and the
latter now has the tender under advise
ment. One of the difficulties in the wav of
Governor Cranes acceptance is under
stood to be his connection with the COM
pany at Dalton, Mass, which furnishes
the paper for government notes. This
paper is prepared by a secret process. and
the governments contract with the Dali
ton company is a large one. Should Gov
ernor Crane accept the treasury port
folio, 1t is considered probable that he
would dispose of his interest in the paper
company.

Boston, Dec. 21.-A close friend of Gov
ernor w. Murray Crane to-day stated that
the governor had been offered the treas
ury portfolio by President Roosevelt and
said the governor had asked for time un-
til next Monday, before deciding whether
or not ne would accept. A message from
Dalton, Governor Cranes home, received
here to-day says that Governor Crane is
considering the question and is inclined
to accept the position. Family and busi-
ness considerations are the cause of the
governors hesitation.

AMERICA AND ENGLAND.

Athletes From Yale and Harvard to
 Meet Oxford and Cambridge.
 New York, Jan 16.-The World says: Yale and Harvard will meet Oxford and Cambridge on track and field again, and the athletes of the Ameri- can universities will try to wipe out the defeat they suffered at the hands of the English students in the sum- mer of 1899. Preliminary arrange uentS have been for some time in the hands of prominent alumni of all four universities and are now we'll ad- vanced, but great secrecy has been maintained by all who are in any way connected with the proposed meeting. E. J. Wendell, an enthusiastic Harvard alumnus, to a certain extent represent ed his Alma Mater in the matter, said last night:
 II cannot affirm or deny the asser- tion of arrangements pending for q Harvard Yale eOXford-Cam mbridge meet ing. In fact 1 can say nothing about it one way or the other. If such ne gotiations should be pending, it would be far from discreet for any one con- nected with them to discuss the mat ter at present. Personally am hearti- ly in favor of such a meet.''

SIR LIPTON'S BOAT.
A Description of the Yacht That Will
 Try to Win Our Cup.

A Description of the Yacht That Will
 Try to Win Our Cup.
 Boston, Jan 16.-According to the Herald, which claims to have reliable information, Sir Thomas Lipton's chal- lenger, Shamrock H., will have a draft Of 19 feet inches. and her length over all will be l36 feet. The lead weight Is to be eighty-tive tons. Designer Watson believes that a beam such as he has given Shamrock II. is better for all round performance than the twenty-siX feet which he gave the Nalkyrie III. It is d very noticeable fact. says the Herald, that the new challenger and the Britannia, the Prince of Wales's boat, have exactly the same beam dimensions. though the former has more than two feet more draft than the princes old yacht It is evident from these dimensions that Mir Watson has gone in q measure to the canoe type of midship section. more like the Jubilee than any of our other American boats. It is quite evi- dent that the yacht now building by Denny Bros of Dunbarton is less DOW erful than those being built on this side. and it is quite certain, on her di- mensions. that she will not be able to carry quite the sail plan of either the Lawson or the Belmont syndicate boat. but while she may be penalized in this respect. she gains in another important direction, in having less displacement. less wetted surface. and all things else being equal she should be quite as easily driven under canvas as the larger and more powerful boats with their greater sail spreads.

portant Case.
 Chicago, Jan l6.-A decision rem dered in the appellate court yesterday may prove the death blow to the lin seed oil trust.
 The case is that of the Heath and Miligan Manufacturing company against the National Linseed Oil com pany, which was reorganizedstwo years ago and became the American Linseed Oil company. The court found that the custom of the company in selling 711 pounds of oil as constituting a gal lon was illegal and amounted to short weight. In so holding the court re versed the finding of the court below and ordered the entry of a Judgment against the company for $12,O12 with costs. The case was test one brought by Heath and Milligan after the dis covery by A. M. Heath that gallon of linseed oil in reality weighed "A pounds instead of Tk pounds, as sold by the trus
 In holding Sat the plaintiff is en- titled to recover over payments the court has thrown the door open to sue cessful suits against the trust by every concern with which it has had dealings within the last five years. The amount involved, therefore, is enormous, and in the opinion of many it may mean the death blow to the trust

LAID AT REST
Many Waterbury Friends Attend Sis

 ter Teresa Alacoque's Funeral.
 The funeral of Sister Teresa Ala coque Katherine Lynchl, which took place from the chapel in St Joseph's hospital, Paterson, N. J., at 10 o'clock yesterday morning, was marked with utmost solemnity. The body, garbed in the habit of the order of Sisters of Charity, rested before the blessed sacrament during the night, many peo- pie being constantly in attendance.
 A high mass of requiem was ceie- brated at 10 o'clock by the Rev Father Julian, who also preached the 8ermon, utilizing the occasion to take uiome to all q thought of death. He .hen referred to Sister Teresa Alacoque / sn such touching manner that there was scarcely a dry eye in the chapel. 'I cannot speak of her life,' said he, flor I did not know much of it, but I can speak of her sickness and death. While she was with us. she manifest ed commendable patience. Although she suffered intense pain, she never uttered a murmur, but was thorough ly resigned to the will of God. When her VOWS were administered, she re- sponded. in a clear, firm voice, betok- ening tile utmost sincerity and faith, and five minutes before the end, when too weak to speak and open her lips in prayer, she nevertheless prayed with her heart and found strength to lift her hand and make the sign of the cross, the sign of her salvation. every time I blessed her. And the end was most happy and peaceful death; without a move, without sound, surrounded by the faithful Sis terS whom she loved so we'll. her soul passed from time to eternity, and l trust is now before God. I would ask you to pray for her and if she stands not in need of your prayers they will go to some needy soul and rebound upon yourselves. Pray that your death may be like unto hers, and on the last day you will see Sister Teresa Alacoque high up amongst the saints of Cod
 The music rendered by the choir of Sisters was both appropriate and ex- cellent. After the services in the chap el, the Sisters formed in open file along the aisle, each Sister carrying q light ed candle, and through this file the remains were borne to the hearse by six Sisters of Charity. The1nterment was in the Sisters plot in Holy Sep ulchre cemetery, the services at the grave being also conducted by Father Julian.
 A large number of relatives and Sis terS attended the funeral. Among the latter were Sister Constanza (An- Tie Rigney), Sister Mary James N1in- nie O'COnnor). Sister NJ. Pulcheria Margaret Connor). Sister Mary Erwin Carrie Milier), whose homes are in this city.
