Derew and Plat Oppose Sanger ss
4. Assistant Secretary Of War. Il.
Washington, j. March 9.-Senators
Platt and Depew Of New York are
both opposing the proposition to nom-
mate Colonel Sanger for the Office Of
assistant secretary of war. Senator
Plat saw the secretary Of war on the
subject and entered formal protest
on the ground that Colonel Sanger is
not consistent Republican. Senator
Depew also has indicated his opposi-
ton. Neither of. them was consulted
before the nomination was decided
upon. The selection seems to have
been made by the secretary, but the
senators claim that If that official is
to assert that prerogative he should
find man who will be acceptable to
them. Senator Plat expressed the
opinion that the protest which has
been made would have the effect Of
preventing the president from send
Ing in the nomination.

considered very good. The success of
the Eesper eight at Paris last year has
fred the Dauntless club with a desire
for International honors.
If the Dauntless club sends a crew,
it is probable that the Vesper Boat
club Of Philadelphia will do likewise.
While the philadelphians are not so
sangUine of success as the Dauntless
club members. they believe their crew
better than that of the Dauntless.
1t has been suggested, and many row.
ing enthusiasts view the idea kindly,
that an American race be held between
the clubs along the Harlem river to de-
termine which eight is best fitted to
represent America in England. This
would furnish great contest. but &C.
complish little more. 1t is not proposed
to offer as prize the Fights expenses
abroad. If the crew is to be sent, the
cost will fall upon private individuals
willing to subscribe to the fund for the
good of the sport. If there are enough
Of these in the Dauntless club. the pro.
pr1ety Of its sending crew abroad
ought not to be questioned. Coach e.
lis Ward OF the University of Pennsyl-
vania believes he can send an eight to
Henley that will be factor in the
races. The conditions at Pennsylvania
favor the sending Of crew this year.
There is material enough in the univer-
sity for three crews. 1t would be nee.
essary to have all three If the first crew
is to. 60 to Henley. A crew must be
sent to Poughkeepsie and a second"
crew to Ithaca.
The only drawback to the scheme at
Pennsylvania is the cost Of sending the
crew abroad. 1t is estimated that So
Geo will be needed. All Of this will
have to be raised outside the Athletic
association. An informal meeting of
some CT Pennsylvania old supporters
was held recently. The meeting came
to the conclusion that the plan of send
ing the crew abroad is thoroughly fea-
sible.

British Reply to Amended Hay:Paun.
cefote Agreement.
Washington, March 12.-The answer
of the British government to the Hay
Pauncefote treaty made by the senate
was received during the day by the
British ambassador and communicate
ed to Secretary Hay. The contents
of the document have not yet been
made public, but it probably reflects
the earnest wishes of the British gov
eminent to have the Nicaraguan wa
terway international in character in
stead of confined to the United States.
The British answer is a digniied
but complete rejection Of the senate
amendments and it leaves upon the
United States government the respon-
sibility for any further action that
may be deemed expedient.

4 HARD FIGHT IS EVIDENT
Lieutenant Colonel kyle's Counsel Says He Has Made Out No Line of Defense as Yet-Court
 Convenes January 2.

Montgomery, December 19.-(Special.)- A new development in the Higdon-Kyle court-martial today was the announce ment that Gen. William c. Oates had been retained as counsel for Lieutenant Colonel Kyle.
 To a representative of The Age-Herald General Oates confirmed this statement. He said that while it is true that he is to serve as counsel for Colonel Kyle, that he had not yet made an investigation of the charges filed by Colonel Higdon against Lieutenant-Colo Kyle. and he therefore could not give an outline of Kyle's defense. General Oates said that he would take the case up for investiga- tion after the adjournment of the Su- preme Court this week. He said he had read only the published letters bearing on the case and his inference from these was that Kyle had not intended his letter to Higdon as official.
 The court-martial will convene in Montgomery on January 2 Intense inter- est is being manifested in the trial.
