Sears the IT, Kin You Have Always Egapti
sf &xNZzZh
Remembering the Maine.

There has always been a difference
OF opinion as TO the manner by which
the battleship Maine was blown up IN
Havana harbor in 1897. OF course, a
majority of the people of this country
ave been, and may ever remain. of
the opinion that the destruction OF h
ship was u to Spanish infany. The
late Rear-Admiral Bunce, as we'll as
other prominent naval officers, did not
share in the opinion OF the majority
that the Maine was destroyed by tor
pedoes set off by lurking ~Spariards. An
incident of very recent date that has
bearing upon this question may be OF
interest.
A Kansas City dispatch to the New
York World concerning the death by
suicide Of a naval officer, reads as fol-
lows:
The news received here today that
Lieutenant John Z. Morris had com
mitted suicide by shooting aboard his
ship, the Olympia. at Boston, was not
received will great surprise by his
friends.
They have known that Morris had
had a weight of some kin on his mind
ever since the blowing up of the Maine.
at Havana, and IL is the impression
here that his suicide is the indirect re-
suit of h a disaster.
Morris was electrician on the Maine.
with he title of assistant elgineskr
When he visited here after his Prov
Dental escape at Havana, he was very
averse to talking about the matter,
but his riends at the Kansas CITY Club
and gathered the impress
sion that he knew the cause OF the
explosion, n that il was not due to
Spanish mines or torpedoes. They have
always believed from Morris account

electric wiring on the Maine"
OF course, this is not conclusive that
the Maine was not destroyed by Span
ISL conspiracy, but IL at least creates
doubt on that point. and reopens the
question. II Morris knew more than
he told, 1t stands to reason that there
are other officers who know more h
they have told. Where are they2 Can
they be prevailed upon to speak? The
world ought to know the truth of a
disaster that led TO such a string OF
remarkable results.-Richmon Times.

OLD YALE vs FAIR HARVARD. Crack College Teams Meeting in De-
 ciding Game To-Day.

This afternoon on the New York Polo grounds, Yale and Harvard are clashing in what promises to be one of decided. The interest in the game is at fever heat since the aquatic battle between the rival universities. Har- yard and her followers realize that in a measure they can redeem themselves by defeating the Ellis this afternoon. The members of the victorious and yanquished crews were on hand to cheer and sing the praises of their re spective teams. The out-of-town con- tingent was larger than ever, as hun dredS of partisanS who were at the boat race went to New York to see another clash between the crimson and blue.
 Two teams never were more evenly this year. This was proved in the two games played thus far by the teams. Harvard will pin her faith to Clarkson, the pitcher who was so successful against Yale last Tuesday. He is a brother of the once famous National league pitcher. The game started at 2:30 o'clock. The batting order was as follows:
 Yale-Metcalf. 2b: Wear, If: Barn. well, of; Cote. If; Winslow, c; Guern- sey, 3b; Miller, SIS; Chittendon, 1b; Gar van. D.
 Harvard-Coolidge, ss: Wendell, If; Randall, 1b; Clarkson, D; Stillman. of: skilton, 2b; Daly, If; Milne, c; Carr, 2b.

Making Great Preparations for the blg
 Benefit Day on Saturday, July Fifth.
 very important meeting of the City league was held last evening aC tba St Joseph rooms and the wheels were started for the big day of the league which is to take place at the Athletic field on Saturday, July ,, just one week from to-day. 1t was decided to play two of the scheduled games on that afternoon and the first game will start at 2 o'clock and will be between the St Joseph team and the Pastimes. The second game will be contested by the Jeffersons and the Brooklyn Ath- letic club. Both games will count in the schedule. This is one of the days in which the league expects to raise sufficient funds to meet the expenses of the league and all those who have enjoyed the Sunday games free of charge are expected to attend on that afternoon. It will be a baseball af- ternoon for sure and each team will put up it's best game. The Jetfersons will appear for the first time i'll their new baseball rigs and if it is a pleas ant day there should be q big crowd present.
 A protest was entered against Um- pire Fred Bauby and the protest was sustained by vote. Klobedanz will officiate on Sunday and if he wishes he will be employed permanently. There was some talk of changing the umpires around, but action was deferred on this matter until later. The buttons are selling like hot cakes and if you see dark navy blue button with white letters on the lapel of . persons coat you know that he is help ing the City league boys along iii their amateur games.

DID HARVARD REALLY WIN?
Decision on Freshman Race Caused
 Surprise.

Decision on Freshman Race Caused
 Surprise.
 New London, June 2S.-While. the Harvard freshman race of Thurs day will go down in the rowing rec ords as a dead heat, it is generally ad- mitted here to-day by those who were at the finish that Havard crossed the line just ahead of the Yale crew.
 Those on the judges boat say that, to them, the race looked like q dead heat, but it took twenty minutes of hot discussion to arrive at the conclu- sion of mo decision.''
 Everybody seemed to have lost their heads, and the regatta committee scur- ried around trying to find out just how the race did end. The Harvard coxswain showed by his actions that he thought the race was won. As he crossed the finish line he broke into a broad smile and seemed as happy as schoolboy.
 TO the newspaper men reporting the finish at the line. Harvard was a win ner by about two to three feet. The decision of the judges was a surprise to them
 This decision was also a bitter dis appointment to the Harvard enthus- lasts who were at the finish. They were certain that their favorites had won, and there were many hard things said. It is not believed that the inci- dent is closed, but what will be done has not yet been determined
