INTERCOLLEGIAT ASSOCIATION
 Chicago, March IA special to the

Chlcago, March IA special to the Record from Ann ArbOr. Michigan, says: Michigan has re-entered the in tercollegiate athletic association (East- ern) this year. after an absence from membership dating back some four years. The occasion of again entering the games with the eastern colleges is the prestige gained at Paris last sum- mer, and the fact that in Dvorak it can land a premier athlete His rec ord in the pole vault is dangerously near the worlds record held by ClapD. record which in practice he has even bettered. It is almost a certainty that Dvorak will be sent east at the time of the games there. and it is possible that other athletes may accompany him. Armstrong's spraining his ankle in the dual meet at Chicago will prob- ably keep him out of it.

BOTHA'S CONDITIONS.
Mrs. Botha Brought Them To Lord
 Kitchener.

London, March 1.-Reports that General BOtha, the commander of the Boer forces, had surrendered to Lord Kitchener were circulated with great positiveness in London yesterday, and some papers even went so far as to declare that official information had been received on the subject.
 This WAS denied both by the war office and by Mir Broderick, the war secretary. in the house of commons But that negotiations for surrender are going on seems to be true. On this subject the Daily News says:
 We learn that Commandant Gen eral Botha offered to surrender on cer- tain conditions and that 'pourparlers' still are in progress. It is probable that Mrs Botha brought proposals from her husband to Lord Kitchener"
