WORLDS CHAMPIONSHIP COURSE TO BE

The criticism that followed the Glen Echo Clubs
scheme OF holding worlds championship at St.
Louis in 1901 has had at least good result. 1t
has shown President George $. McGrew and the
other promoters OF the enterprise that the course
originally planned would never satisfy Eastern
golfers. That the club IS sensible of this criticism
Is shown by the fact that Mctirew has decided to

Our Claim Against Morocco.
European Diplomats Watching the
Case With Interest.

NEW YORK. March pa special
to the Herald from Washington says:
The European diplomats in Wash.
ington are deeply interested in the
action of the United States in send
ing the armored cruiser New York to
Morocco to aid the American consul
general in exacting an apology and
obtaining a settlement of claims ag-
gregating $4,000. Frances interest
is probably greater than that of any
other country because it is no secret
that she hopes some day to extend
her sovereignty over the whole north
western coast of the African CONT
nent. France requested the United
States some time ago to denounce it's
negotiat Ons with Tunis, over which a
French protectorate had been estab-
lished, and this would probably have
been step in the direction of hav-
ing the United States denounce it's
treaties with Morocco, under which it
is proceeding in demanding the Eet-
Element of claims. The United States
declined the request. It is treating
with Morocco as a sovereign power.
While no bomuardment of any
Moorish town is contemplated. the
presence of an American man-of-war
is expected to have a salutary effect
in obtaining immediate compliance
with the demands of this government
The New York will remain at Masar-
gan until Consul General Gummere
returns from Marakesh, and an
nounces a satisfactory settlement.

British Press Generally Pleased With the Re.
suit-Urse That Further Reinforce.
msnts Be Made Ready.

LONDON. March 21.-Joseph Cham
berlain, the colonial secretary, in
formed the house of commons that
General Botha has rejected the peace
terms offered him. General Botha,
Mr.. CHAMBERLAIN said conveyed the
information in letter to General
Kitchener, in which he announced
that he was not disposed to recon-
mend the terms of peace General
Kitchener was instructed to offer him
to the earnest consideration of his
government General Botha added
that his government and it's chief Of
ticers entirely agreed with his view.
The issuance of parliamentary papers
on the negotiations is delayed. Cen
eral Botha's refusal to accept the
peace terms offered him is commented
upon with an evident sense of relief.
The idea that Lord kitchener initiated
the negotiations instead of General
Botha, as had been supposed. is un-
palatable to the British press. The
Daily Mail. under the editorial cap
ton, Our Rejected Suit" asks why
the government instructed Lord
Kitchener to sue for peace after the
murder of the peace ENJOYS, and
concludes as follows:
Let the war be pressed to the ut
most, and let further reinforcements
be prepared, for they may be needed;
but. above all, let us have no more
negotiation.
