CHURCHILL SCORES MINISTRY.
Criticises Conduct of the B0er War
 Favors Compromise.

London. Jan. 21-Winston Spencer
 Churchill, conservative, in resuming
 the debate in the house of commons to-
 day, on the amendment moved by
 Frederick Crawley, liberal, to the ad-
 dress in reply to the speech from the
 throne at the opening of parliament
 gained the distinct approval of the op-
 position benches by his criticisms of
 the government shortcoming in re- gard to the conduct of the war in South Africa, the insufficiency of the troops supplied to Lord Kitchener, and other matters. He said he preferred a settlement by compromise, rather than by force as the latter would entail the tremendous expense of long military occupation.
 Sir William Vernon Harcourt, liberal, made speech lasting an hour but failed to score any new points against the government. He showed himself to be in practical accord with Lord Rose berys position and said he would. of course, support any proper measure calculated to bring the war to an end. But, Sir William insisted that some en- commencement ought to be offered the Boers to come forward with peace pro- posals.
 MT. Cawley's amendment was reject ed by vote of 333 to 12S Tn a vigor- ous defense of the government A. J. BaHour the government leader in the house. made merry at the expense of Sir William Vernon Harcourts sup port of Lord Rosebery. He said he thought this was the greatest of all Lord Rosebery's triumphs. Mir. Bal faur contended that the Boers were prolonging the war in the hope of a lib cral government replacing the present administration, and he appealed to the house to reject the amendment on the ground that any diminution of the gov majority would encourage the men in the field.
 Sir Campbell Zimmerman, liberal, briefly wound up the debate and the division was taken.
 The announcement of the vote was received with enthusiastic ministerial cheers. The division afforded renewed l proof of liberal dissensions. All the na- David Lloyd George, Welsh | and half dozen radicals, l several liberal imperialists, including | Sir Edward Grey H. H. Asquith and | Richard B. Haldane, abstained from | voting, with the result that the gov ernment, whose nominal majority is about one hundred and thirty secured 1 the rejection of the Cawley amendment | by a majority of two hundred and ten.

TALE -H1RVARD DfFFERENCES
Plan for Future Athletic Agreement Not Progressfng Smoothly.

Cambridge, Mass, Jan. 21.-It is un- derstood at Cambridge that the pro- posed plans for another five years agreement between Harvard and Yale are not progressing smoothly. The un- official story is as follows:
 Harvard has proposed to Yale five years agreement, with an arbitration committee to decide all questions of eligibility but Yale is unwilling to ac- cept this. Yale wishes a five years agreement with each college playing under it's own rules Harvard does not favor this, claiming that Yale's eligi- bility rules may be entirely changed during the next five years under her present system of undergraduate con- trol of athletics.
 Harvard does not think it fail to bind herself to an agreement by which Yael could play men who could not be eligible at Harvard. The cases of O'Rourke of the Yale baseball team and Spraker of the track team are cited on this point, It seems possible that a yearly agreement may be made unless Yale should consent to an arbitration committee which is generally consid- cred at Harvard to be perfectly fair and for the best interests of sports,

Washington, Jan. 21.-The state de- partment will not be drawn into the controversy which has sprung up be- tween the European powers respecting the efforts made by them to prevent the United States from going to war with Spain. Lord Cranbornes statement in parliament yesterday is recognized as absolutely correct as far as it went, but there are chapters in the story which he did not touch upon, and it is recognized here as ineXpedient to develop all the facts even now, lest animosity spring

AN INJUNCTION ASKED FOR
TO RESTRAIN CITY FROM SELLING
 WEST ROCK PARK LAND.
Complaint Made by Es-MayOr Driscoli Who Asks for a Permanent njunction "A Temporary Injunction Granted by Judge EImer--Papers Served Late Yes- terday Afternoon.

| Late yesterday afternoon eXMayor Cornelius T. Driscoll whose remon- strance against the sale of West Rock park land, which was only recently | poses, to L. Wheeler Beecher was tab led by the aldermen Monday night, took another step towards preventing this sale.
 The ex-mayor secured from Judge Elmer of the superior court yesterday afternoon a temporary injuncton re- straining the city from selling the land and last evening Constable McNerney served upon Controller Rowe a copy of complaint and summons, summoning him, the Diamond Match Co.,. l.. Wheel CT Beecher and the city of New Haven, to appear before the superior court on the first Tuesday In February, and an- swer the complaint in which the facts relating to the sale of the West Rock park land are set forth.
 
 to restrain the city from selling any portion of the land condemned and purchased from the Hartford insane re- treat for addition to West Rock park to the Diamond Match Co.,, L. Wheeler Beecher or to anyone else.
 The committee of the common coun- cil recommended that the land be sold to Mr Beecher for $7O0 and that Con troller Rowe be authorized to execute the deed. The recommendation was presented to the aldermen Monday night and at the same time a remon- stance against the sale from ex-Mayor Driscoll was read. MT. Driscoll while mayor vetoed an order for the sale of the land to Mr. Beecher on the ground that the city had no power to make the sale, under it's charter. The aldermen tabled his remonstrance Monday night and adopted the committee recom- mendation.
 The injunction papers were served | upon Controller Rowe last night before the session of the councilmen, in which | the committee recommendation for the l sale was rejected in non-concurrence with the aldermen.
 Alter the veto by the then Mayor l Driscol of the order for the sale about | a year ago bill was presented in the legislature for an act to authorize the | city to make the sale and the act was lobbied through. Now it appears that there is some question about this act, which was drawn by those interested in securing the sale and in getting the act through, conferring authority upon the city to make the sale even if the common council should consent to it.
 Prominent lawyers in discussing the matter last night expressed the opin- ion that since the city condemned the land for public uses, if it's use for pub lie purposes was discontinued and an attempt to sell it was made, it would revert to the original owner, the Hart ford insane retreat, which under it's tenure, could not sell the land unless it was condemned.

Delcasse, in conclusion. were due to the support parliament had given the government. The foreign minister's statement was greeted with prolonged. applause.

 Whereas, the people of the United States are moved by feelings of human ity in behalf of the sufferers from the terrible warfare now being conducted in South Africa, therefore,

A DENIAL FROM GERMANY
HER ATTITUDE DURING SPANISH
 AMERICAN 7ROUBLE
Did Not Before or A After the Outbreak of HostiIities Propose Intervention- Maintained Absolutely n Negative At- titudo-Not From an Austrian Source That Such Suggestions Reached Ger many.
many.

Berlin, Jan 21,-The foreign office de- nies that Germany desired or associat- ed itself with any other government
 that may have sought to bring about European intervention in the Spanish American war. To-day the correspon- dent here of the Associated Press com
 municated to the German foreign office the statement which emanated yester- oay from the British foreign office to
 the effect that Germany, France and
 Russia supported the Austrian ambas-
 sador at London in his attempt to in
 duce Great Britain to sign a collective
 note addressed to the United States
 proposing action by the European
 states, in view of the outbreak or ex-
 pected outbreak of the late war be-
 tween the United States and Spain
 Later in the day the following state
 ment was handed to the correspondent
 of the Associated Press: "The foreign
 office declares with all positiveness
 that Germany neither before the out
 break of the Spanish American war nor
 during it's course proposed intervention
 to other powers. Neither did Germany support such a proposition made by any power. It Is true that in several instances suggestions (anregungen) were made to the German government from another source in the sense of in tervention. But the German govern ment, without exception, maintained negative attitude toward such sugges- lions and made it's negative standpoint whenever occasion occurred. It must further be remarked that it was not from an Austrian source (night gerade von Oesterrichischer seite) that such suggestion reached the German gov ernment.'
 Some annoyance has been expressed in official circles here that the British under secretary for foreign affairs. Lord Cranborne, and the British for eign office should make statements at this moment tending to discourage the growing good feeling between Germany and the United States and seemingly designed to spoil the pleasant prospect of the visit of Admiral Prince Henry of Prussian to the United States.
 The interpolation in the British house of commons yesterday to which Lord Cranborne replied, is considered here to have been gotten up especially to give opportunity for saying some thing in parliament which might be taken in parliament as a basis for re- yiving stories adverse to Germany in the matter of German relations with the United States
 A telegraph report of Lord Cram borne's statement in reply to the inter- pellation by Henry Norman, M P, was to the German newspapers by the news agencies early in the day. yet none of the Berlin evening papers, 1 with the exception of the North Ger nan Gazette, print it. The North Ger nan Gazette does not comment upon Lord Cranborne's statement. This sup | 1ression of what, at another time | would be regarded as news, is taken to | mean that the German press is deter | mined not to revive unpleasant discus- | 3ions at an inopportune moment
