SECRETARY HAY
 WILL SAY NO MORE
LET OUT ALL FACTS IN THE MAT TER OF PASSPORTS TO DIR. THOMAS AND WIFE IN HIS LET- TER TO CONGRESS.

Washington, March 17.-Secretary Hay House resolution inquiring into the facts connected with the application of the Rev. Dr. and Mrs Thomas for passports to reach the Boer camps
 All the facts in the case were set out in the 'Secretarys letter written in antici- patton of the passage of the resolution of inquiry and read by MT. Hit to the committee on foreign affairs.
 The Secretary is communicating with Governor Yates of Illinois. who initiated the movement to send Dr. Thomas to South Africa to ascertain exactly what is wanted by the contributors to the fund.
 It has been reported that the total of this fund is but $6000, a sum scarcely large enough to cover the expenses of sending these two persons to South Africa and maintaining them there. and if the only purpose Is to help the Boer women and children in the camps, the State De- pertinent is willing to further it by send ing the money through the United States consular officers in South Africa and thus reducing the expense of distribution of clothing. But If contributors to the fund prefer to employ their own agents they will be provided with passports as would any other American citizens and 1t is understood that they also will be extended the same facilities as the Ger man agents for entering the Boer camps, of course under surveillance of British army officers.

GREAT HANDICAP TODAY.
Racing Season In England Starts of
 With Good Sport.

London, March 1.-The first race sea- son had an excellent send off at Lincoln this afternoon. The weather was pleas ant and big crowds congregated to whet their capacities for tomorrow's grand handicap. The American owners of horses were not represented today.
 The only American horse in the Lin- colnshire handicap is Foxhall, Keene's Olypian (4-year-old), but the race is gen. orally expected to be duel between R. S. Sieber's Sceptre (S-year-old) and A. M. Singers O'Donovan Rossa (5-year-old). It was rllmored today that should Sceptre win, that horse will become the property of either w. c. Whitney or Foxhall Keene. the price being somewhere in the neighborhood of e30,O0O.
 The fact that Tod Sloan had been riding Sir R. Waldier, Graffiths veles' N-year-old) in training gallops led to the rumor that the American jockey would ride in tomorrow's handicap, but Sloan thus far has only been granted a license to train and ride in gallops.
