English University Athletes Fear Au-
gust Gotham Weather.

London, May 20-According to private
dispatches from New York the pro-
posals of the English universities to
hold an athletic meeting at Montreal
before they meet the Americans in
New York is opposed by Harvard and
Yale, whose athletes want their meet
ing with the Oxford Cambridge team
to occur first In reference to this a
prominent official said:
oxford and Cambridge are not in
the least likely to give way on this
point Quite apart from the probability
that Toronto and McCrin may prove a
weaker combination than Harvard and
Yale, and. therefore, that Oxford and
Cambridge would naturally prefer, in
their semi-trained stage. to compete
with less formidable opponents first
and leave their more formidable rivals
for a later date, the Oxford and Cam
bridge men would be perfectly justified
IN protecting their own interests be-
fore anything else. We are receiving
q continuous stream of advice not to
court certain defeat by doing the bulk
of our preparation in the vicinity of
New York during the intense heat OF
August and September Therefore we
are seeking more invigorating quarters
"A Canada, will complete our training
there and will visit New York at the
latest moment possible before the day
Of the sports, which may now be de-
ferred to September IS. If the Canadian
sports are fixed for September IA, as
proposed"

Rarefied Rumor of the Rockies.

IFrom the Saturday Evening Post.l
High up on the Laramie range there
is a little station called Shern ana
mere watering place for trains on the
Union Pacific railway. Near by it is a
gigantic pyramid of stone, 90 feet h1gh
and so feet square at the base, which
was set up by the railway as monu-
ment to Cakes Ames and Oliver Ames.
In the later eighties there arrived at
Sherman a shabby person OF melan-
choly aspect, who put up a shack
western for shanty-not far from the
monument. Ostensibly, he was pros
pecting, and he continued to prospect
for three years without accomplishing
any results. as far as could be observed.
At the end of that period the manage
ment of the Union Pacific received from
him communication demanding the
immediate removal of the monument
from the premises, which he claimed
as his under the homestead law.
The matter was regarded in humor-
Gus light at first, but subsequent pro
ceedings developed the fact that the
squatter had what lawyers call
case"
The stranger. it seems. had located
on a section of land which did not be-
long to the Union Pac1fc-the same
section on which the monument had,
by an inadvertence, been placed He
knew very well what he was about, and
the upshot of the affair was that the
railway had to pay $1,000 for the squat
ter's tract, in order to make its title
good
The monun ent, by the way. is dis
tant only about one hundred yards
from the station, and it is a favorite
trick of experienced persons to induce
green travellers to attempt to run to
the pyramid and back during the two
minutes of the trains wait. In nine
cases out of ten they fall on the way

ing so rarefied at that elevation of $500

Interfere in matters of patronage be-
cause he was a mugwump, but he con-
sidered it a shame that a man of ex-
perience and ability like Consul General
Mason should be turned out of Office
simply because some Democrat who
knew nothing about its duties wanted
the place. He said that he was ac-
quainted with a great many consulss
and that Captain Mason was the best
he had ever known, and If her father
ever consulted her about the consular
service he suggested that she advise him
not to disturb good men merely to give
places for politicians
About a month later Mr.. Clemens re-
ceived a little note in President Cleve-
lands handwriting, in which Miss Ruth
Cleveland presented her compliments
to Mark Twain. thanked him for call
ing attention to the threatened removal
of Consul Mason, and said that ifhe knew
of any similar cases the president would
be glad to hear from him. Consul Gen
eral Mason is still in the service, and
has since been promoted to Berlin.

TWO POLICE CAPTAINS.

They Tell Why They Take Chances" ["
 Two police captains were talking to- gether last night when reporter for this newspaper joined them. They were discussing vice. They did not change the subject, partly because they were in no mood to conceal their feelings, partly because they knew the reporter would not betray their identity. What they said, however, thew will be glad to see in print not that it will do any good 1t could not arouse any feeling in the average citizen of New York, but it may relieve their feelings to know that Colonel Murphy and Chief Devery will read it.
 They had been discussing Captain Creamer's case. Creamer is a relative of Frank Farrel, who is high up in the business and friend of Devery. Far rell testified on Devery's behalf when the present deputy chief was captain on trial. They had no pity for Cream CT, therefore. He's a right to all he gets in the way of knockin'," they agreed. But they had an impression of him as a soft, good-natured, weak sort of a fellow, who would not take any great risk And from that aspect of his character they passed to the gene ralization, which one of them expressed as follows:
 "He had to. They all have to. We all have to. There's a ten thousand pound pressure on every captain in the business to-day. You've got to take ok koO to take chances and open up anything with a lot of committees running around getting cases on you? They Cup above there) they say, and it's true, that we'll be taken care of: that no com- mittee and no Philbin can get convic- tions on us. They can't prove a thing. But here's the whole town wise Eve ny citizen, man, woman and child, knows what's doing, how it's done and what it's worth, and there's the com- mittees to show us up whenever they get rested from the last raid. We'll, do we want to do business like that?"
 Why do you, then? ?' the reporter asked.
 The captains went into convulsions expressive of despair
 twill you listen to that?" said one of them, and the other recovered himself and spoke:
 You ask that, newspaper man? Say it's tough enough to have the citi- zens put it up to us that way, but you aint fooled, are you? Don't you see? We have to. We're promoted and we get good precincts. What for? Be- cause we're popular? Not on your life It's because they think we've got nerve They have. They ain't afraid. They don't give darn for the papers and

They say that we've been up against it enough to know that the system is safe and that the courts of justice ain't organized up to the stand ard of our machine So they say to us, to go on and take chances. They'll take care of us. I tell you, there's many a captain scared blue, that 'ud like to close his precinct up tight as a drum-not all There's captains as bold as-himself, but more of us is rags compared to him, and yet if we don't keep enough going to pay expenses up we go to the Bronx"

 why, say" said the first captain. 1T hear people saying that Devery is showing at the trials (of police cases) that he's got sense and sand ond is a good disciplinarian. That is the grand est, most monumental bluff ever put up in this town.'
 You'd think he'd be afraid to pound the cops as he does" said the reporter
 Exactly, but he isn't" said the first captain. He's great, Devery is. He's the greatest thing that ever came down the pike. He's the only man that never lost his nerve. But as for coppers squealing-how can they? He's pound- ed captains-look at Price--and what did they do?"--New York Commercial Advertiser.
