ELEVEN MORE DAYS.
Still Large Number of Bills to be
 Decided in the Legislature.

Decided i'll the Legislature.
 Hartford, June 1.-With the end of the session but II days off, accoEding to the plans of the chairmen of com mittees, the legislature of 1901 will put in next week long and hard week of work in order to get through with the business in hand. There are still a very large number of bills to be de- cided upon, and the foot of the calen- dar is crowded with matters that have yet to be settled. 1t will take some hard pushing this week sto clean up matters and to leave the calendar com- paratively free for the two days next week.
 This week the woman suffrage ques- ton and the free text book debate oc- legislators. The fact that Memorial day came on Thursday made that day holiday, and also cleared Friday from the calendar. Next week the two houses will start in Monday noon in order to make up for this weeks de- lays.
 This coming week there will be, perhaps, the most important debate of the season on the question of consti- tutional reform The Fyler amend ment will come up on Wednesday for action, and there is certain to be pro- 1onged debate on the natter The new incorporation law will probably be act ed upon this week also, but 1t looks now as if the whole of the bill would not be passed at this juncture. There is so little time left for careful refec- tion on this most important and radi- cal change in the laws of the state that the eminent domain section will un- doubtedly go over for two years. The main new general bill will however, probably be reported.

ALL EYES ON CHICAGO.
Representatives of Ten Colleges Will
 Contend for Trophies.

Chicago, June 1.-The eyes of the western college world will be turned toward Chicago to-day. Upon the arena of two athletic fields the pick and flower of Mississippi valley ath- letes will strive with every effort to win glory and fame and the plaudits of the multitude.
 Representative of ten colleges will contend for trophies of the IntercoI- legiate Conference Athletic associa- ton at Marshall field. At Ravens wood athletes from ten other institu- tions will do battle for the cup of the Western Intercollegiate Athletic asso- ciation.
 The meets are the largest ever ar ranged to be held in one city at the same time in the western part of the country and the managers of each are confident of gathering the largest crowd.
 On Marshall field teams from Wis consin, Michigan, Chicago, Minnesota, Northwestern, Purdue, Indiana, Iowa, Illinois and Beloit will try for the su- premacy of the intercollegiate confer ence athletic association, otherwise known as the ''big nine.' In some re- spects lthe meet will justify the ap- pellation of triangular" as the real VIII lle belWe6n Wisconsin and Chicago. The Wolver- ines have been generally picked as the winners.
 At Rayenswood teams from Notre Dame, Drake, Grinnell, Knox, Lake Forest, Carleton, Lawson, Illinois col lege, Yankton, s. D.. and the Universi- ty of South Dakota will contest. The battle will probably be fought out by Notre Dame and Grinnell.
 The winners in to-day's college meet will be asked to take part in the sports at the Pan-American exposition at Buffalo this summer Last night Coach Snagg of the University of Chi cago received a telegram from the Pan American sports committee notifying him that eight of the first point win ners at the recent eastern intercol- legiate meet had sent in their entries to the Pan-American contests, and also asking Prof Snagg to notify competi- tors in the western meet that cer- tain amount of expense money would be guaranteed each winner in the west ern meet of to-day if he would come to Buffalo and compette. Prof Stagg expects to receive further particulars by mail.

NO SUGAR WAR.
Despite. the Fact That Arbunkle Broth

 CTS Cut the Prices.
 New York, June 1.-The Herald says Prices of refined sugar haveing been cut in a drastic way by Arbunkle Brothers, the fact caused the report to be spread that sugar trade war was once more. A reduction of fifteen points was made, bringing the price of standard granulated down from 555 to $40, with corresponding decline in other grades. None of the other re- liners made reduction, although the National Sugar Refining company brought its quotations down to the Ar buckle figures for a short time, but quickly advanced them when it was learned that the American Sugan Re lining company did not propose to cut prices.
 Sugar brokers say that the cut was made to allow the Arbuclzles to gather in some of the orders now being placed, and the fact that neither the Havemeyer Go nor the National Re- finery changed it's prices was eonsid- cred. evidence that no sugar war will be waged. In some quarters the belief was expressed that the Arbuckles may advance prices today

WATSON IS CONFIDENT.
Although Worried by Criticism He
 Has Faith in the Shamrock.

' ta
 New York, June 1.-According to 8 dispatch to the World from Glasgow, Designer Watson is greatly worried by criticisms passed on his workmanship on the Lipton challenger. He told Sir Thomas Lipton he did not place any value on the result of the recent trial races on the Solent. He built the chal- lenger with an eye to American sailing conditions, and nothing has happened to alter his Judgment that she will prove the fastest challenger ever sent across.
 Captain Sycamore expresses entire agreement with this view. He says if he and Watson had their way the chal- lenger would have been brought straight across the Atlantic when she was launched to be tuned up here, but Sir Thomas did not want this because his only chance of having the king as his guest was to have the Solent trials.

 Trial To-Day.

 Boston, June 1.-The Lawson yacht Independence did not start for her ex-s pected trial spin early this forenoon because the weather was unfaYorable.

 Should Monday prove more propi- tious the deferred plans will be carried out Considerable work remains to be done on the deck, about the rigging she was in excellent condition to-day for an initial trial, if the northeaster, which moved aside yesterday, had not. resumed operations and shut up the harbor in 8 blanket of mist and fog. The delay in getting the yacht out will be improved by the workmen to- day in as many ways as possible. New York, June Tt is stated in g Toronto dispatch to the Tribune that the following particulars of the Canada's cup challenger have been received from the owner, and are correct:
 The Invader, which was launched a few days since near Toronto, has an oNeIdH leHSlH OI 4J Feet ana b 1ncneS, with a waterline of 2S feet, beam of 9 feet and four inches, and draught of feet and , inches. Her sail area is 1,4S0 feet. The mast is AZ feet long, the main boom 3S feet and her gaff 26 feet. The Invader is bigger all around than the Beaver. and has a shorter. waterIine. If she can carry her canvass under the rule she is ex- pected to beat the last Canadian chal- lenge racer handily in the trials.

 Anxiety in London Over the Loss in
 the Battle of Vladkfontein-Wa
 Office Has Aroused Indignation by
 Its Evasive Replies.
 London, June 1.-The Sun to-day publishes a sensational story to the effect that General Botha has arrived at Sanderton in the Transvaal and is communicating by telegraph with MT Kruger, appealing to him to sue for peace. Lord Kitchener is said to have given Botha permission to adopt this course. The Sun further hears that 10000 Zulus have gone on the war path, owing to Boer raids in Zululand.
 London, June 1.-The reticence of the government regarding the battle of Vladkfontein, where 174 British sol diers were put out of action, and other military events of some importance which have recently occurred at wide iy separated points in South Africa, has led to considerable anxiety. This is in no way allayed by the curious answer of the war office to-day to question regarding the accuracy or otherwise of the recent Boer report that the British were severely defeat ed near Pretoria, May 2, losing forty six killed, eighty wounded, 600 prison CTS and six guns. The reply which the war office vouchsafed, We have no official information has aroused some misgivings.
