FOR AN AMERICAN HENLEY
REGENT EFFORTS SAID TO HAVE
 BEEN SUCCESSFUL.
Plan Embraces Week of Rowing at New London During the Yale-Harvnrd Races Yale Reported to Have Con- seMtcd 10 Take Part but This IS Denied by Manager Richurdson.
by Manager Richardson.

| Boston, Feb. 1S.-The American Hen ley, for which so many plans have beer
 fostered, only to fall through in the
 end, is now practically an assured fact Several of Boston's best known rowing
 men have developed plan which em.
 braces the larger athletic and rowing clubs and rowing colleges. It is pro posed to hold week of rowing at New London at the time of the Harvardk
 Yale college races, to include classes from the single scull up to the eight pared crew. Many of the leading row. ing organizations have agreed to send entries
 An invitation association is to be formed, consisting chiefly of the larger clubs, such as the Boston Athletic as- sociation and New York Athletic club; colleges, such as Harvard, Yale, Cor nell, Pennsylvania, etc.. and rowing clubs such as the Union Boat club, of Boston.
 The plan has been developed to the present stage, by those most actively interested at the Boston Athletic asso- citation and the Union Boat club. While the work was going on here, Walter Camp was Instrumental in bringing the plan to successful head away from Boston. The following organizations have consented to send entries in the different events:
 In Philadelphia, the University of Pennsylvania and the Philadelphia Barge club; in New York, Columbia university, the New York Athletic club and some boat club, which of the many in that locality, is not yet known; in Ithaca, Cornell university and in the west, Wisconsin. The Durham Boat club. of Yale and the Weld and Newell Boat clubs, of Harvard, have consented to make entries, while Boston is repre- sented by the Boston Athletic associa- tion and the Union Boat club.
 Should Princeton crew materialize it will be invited to join, but at present the foregoing list is the full complement of the members although some few ad- ditions of the more reputable organiza- tions will be asked to enroll them selves.
 The purpose of the new organization is not to antagonize the present Ma tional Association of National Oars men, nor to interfere with the different open regattas now given all over the country. The only obstacle that has appeared to mar the successful consum- mation of the plan is the lack of money with which to carry on the regatta.

A. H. Richardson, manager of the boating interests at Yale, and MT.

MRS. NATION NOW IN JAIL
PLACED UNDER $2,OOO BOND Tt
 KEEP THE PEACE.

Declares She Will Not Give It and is
 Her Own Attorney-Other Nationitc 8
 Placed Under Bonds-Judge Believes Mrs. Nation Is Insane.
 Topeka, Kan, Feb. 18.-Mrs. Nation Is now in jail as the result of a peace warrant issued by Judge Hazen to-day. The warrant was sworn to by the Moore Cold Storage company, whose plant Mrs. Nation entered yesterday morning. Mrs. Nation acted as her own attorney in the trial Judge Hagen placed her under $2,O0O bond to keep the peace and ordered her to appear before him at the next term of court.
 Mrs. Nation refused to give the bond and said she would go to jail She is now detained in the hospital room of the county jail where she will probably remain for some time.
 It is not likely that Mrs. Nation will be able to give bonds, because she de- clares that she will resume her smash ing crusade against the joints" imme- diately upon her release. Her friends have been advised that Judge Hazen will make her release conditional upon the promise that she be sent to her home at Medicine Lodge.
 Judge Hazen tonight placed Cal Me- Donald, Mrs. Rose Crist and Miss Mad cline Southard under peace bonds Me- Donald's bond is S1000: the others are $500 each. The judge delivered scath- ing address to the three Nation leuten- ants He expressed the opinion that Mrs. Nation is insane and said those persons who encouraged her methods of reform ought to be ashamed of them selves.

FOUR F|REMEA KILLED Crushed to Death Under a Falling Wall Early
 This Morning.
BODIES QUICKLY RECOVERED

FIRE WAS IN THE OLD HUDSON
 PACKING HOUSE.
 The First Members of the Department
 Had Been on the Scene but 8 Few
 Minutes When the Wall Gave Way
 The Dead Are: Captain Joseph E
 Condren, William Riley. Frederick N
 Hale and Frank WiIliams-Henry
 Powell Probably Fatally Injured.
 A fire that broke out in the old Jud- son packing house on Canal street which was up to recently occupied by the Walker Electrical Supply company, caused the death of at least four of New Haven's firemen early this morn ing The names of the dead fremen are:
 Captain Joseph p. Condren, of steam CT No. 2.
 William Riley, substitute at No. 2's house.
 Frederick N Hale, hoseman at No. 2's house.
 Frank Williams, of Truck No. 1.
 Another fireman. Henry Powell of truck No. 1, was pulled out of the ruins and taken to nearby house, almost dead, and there are grave fears for his recovery. His leg was broken, his left hand almost burned off and his face was badly burned. He was taken to the General hospital at 9 o'clock this morning.
 The direct cause of the terrible loss of life was the falling of the west wall of the big brick building, catching the the hose without minutes warning They were pinned under the mass of bricks and burning wood, and when they were later pulled out of the wreck age they were almost unrecognizable, so charred and smashed were their bodies.
 o1o ground and covered with blankets, while the other firemen searched and poked the debris in the horrible en- victims, should there be any. No at- tention to the flames was paid, but all the energy of the men was directed in bringing out more bodies until it was reasonably certain that all were remov- ed. The ambulances were called for, and the bodies were removed as soon as possible.
 Police Sergeant Tighe and a number  of flremen barely escaped the falling | wall, and number were hit by flying bricks, etc..
 The flerceness of the fire that wiped out the entire plant was something ter rible, and, even with the united efforts of nearly all the engines of the city the men were unable to check the flames. From one end of the big build ing to the other the flames were burst ing forth and when the big west wall fell the entire interior of the place had been consumed, leaving the sides and the mass of flames in the center The ; wall fell over on the tracks of the Ca nal road and it was at least thir- fly feet high. The firemen had advance ed with the hose to within about fifteen . feet of the building when all of a sud- den @ terrible cry went up from hun- , dreds who saw the wall topple and then . fall Z Fire Marshal Gladwin, Chief Fau- ( cher and others were at the fire, having C gone at the second alarm, which was sounded about 1;3O o'clock this morn a ing, and as the dead bodies were un ( earthed they were horror-stricken. The 0 Queitude that settled over the place af- < ter the wall fell was mournful, for all V knew that some of the firemen were buried.

A DIVISION IN PARLIAMENT
GOVERNMENTS MAJORITY CUT
 FROM 13O O45.
A Refusal to Answer Questions on the Ministry's Foreign Policy Brings About the Vote Cham berlain Heated- ly Defends Hims ell f and is Cheered No Shred of Independence for Boers- Churchill Speaks.

l London, Feb. 19-The first division in the first parliament of King Edward VII, which took place yesterday, result ed in cutting down to forty-fivet the The interest caused by this unexpected event was heightened by Winston Churchill's first speech at Westminster and by Mr. Chamberlain's heated de- fense of his own policy. The extraordi- nary slimness of the majority of this strongest British government of modern times was the result of the under sec retary for foreign affairs, Lord Cram borne, refusing to answer questions re- lating to the governments foreign pol questioners. This gave John Dillon, Irish Nationalist, the chance to move an adjournment of the House to- day in order to debate the subject. MT. Dillon declared that the under-secretary for the foreign office had been muzzled and that his refusal was a breach of privilege Sir William Vernon Har- court, Liberal; Sir Henry Campbell Zimmerman, the Liberal leader, and John Redmond and others supported MT. Dillon.
 MT. Balfour, in defending the prac- tice said it had been initiated by the government after careful considerati tion. The practice of cross examining the un- der foreign secretary was dangerous and would preclude the carrying on of

rounded up Al tramps in box cars and
elsewhere this morning and drove
them out Of town. They searched
them but did not get the missing

city was ovsrrun with them last sum

day and night to keep them in check.
The harvest season Is about Ia
open and laborers are focking to
Kansas to be ready for harvest.
Among them comes a class that is
not seeking work but rather trying to
avoid it. This class tends to bring
reproach upon all these idle men by
their begging, petty thieving and &C.
casionally acts Of criminal violence.
The advance guard is already in
town and gang Of able.bodied men
are going from house to house beg.
cling for food and often soaring
women. Every deserving man can
get food at the police station and no
private family should feed the tramps
that 60 begging from house to house.
This SO called charity is entirely mis-.
placed and only aggravates rather
than smeliorstes the evil.
The city should have a charity
yard and good rock pile for the
tramps' accom- odation-and at once.
