COLLEGIANS BEATEN.
Home Team Pushed Through Snow
and Slush to a 1915 Victory.
Result a Surprise as the Visiting
Eleven Contained Four Amherst
Varsity Foot Ball PLAYERS.

The Brattleboro foot ball team ended
the season in a blaze of glory by pushing
the Intercollegiate through slush and
mush, the game ending in score of 10
in favor of the home team. The In
tercollesiates included four men who
have won the A on the Amherst varsity
foot ball team and the others have been
varsity substitutes the past season. 1t
was known that the visitors were fast
and well trained, and few spectators
looked for a victory on the part of the
home team. The only question with
most of the spectators was the size of the
score The home team showed in the be-
ginning ability to gain through the line.
and although no scores were made in
the first half the Brattleboro team three
times carried the ball inside the col
legians' 25 yard line
Early in the second half the visitors
scored. Williamson. after receiving the
ball, attempted double pass to March,
but the play was difficult, and Amherst
fell on the ball inside the five yard line.
and from there II was not difficult to
push over the line.
Brattleboro on the next kickoff took
the ball and by a series of line plunges
carried It down the field for a touchdown.
and within a short time repeated the
trick When Conland went through for
the second touchdown he was fiat on the
ground five or six yards from the line,
but Thurber and King. who had broken
through emulated Glass of Yale and
Selling him by the shoulders pulled him
across the line. despite the attempts of
the visitors to stop the play. The last
few minutes saw some desperate playing
on the part of Amherst The ball was
rushed rapidly toward Brattleboro's goal,
40 yard end run by Field being the
greatest distance gained during the day.
Patch and Priddy made good distances
and the score seemed sure of being tied
or beaten, but with the ball on the one
| yard line the whistle was blown and II
| was all over but the shouting.
The field was covered with about two
| inches of snow and sleet and fast run
ming was difficult and the ball was as
elusive as an apple seed between the
thumb and finger but despite the diff
culties the game was the best and most
exciting seen on the home grounds this
| season.
Thurber the Brattleboro boy who Is

for his vs-a-vis. Pierce, hailed as the
| greatest tackle Amherst ever had. and
| the man who played horse with Knowl-

there. All entrances 10 the city are
carefully guarded,
The civil governor Of the city has
been called to Madrid, and it is
generally believed that he will be
removed from his Office. There is a
belief prevalent that he has sympa-
thized with the strikers, and that he
did not use sufficient force to pre-.
vent the rioting.
Rioting has also occurred in the
towns Of Manfesa and Granollers,
where several people were wounded
and one man killed. Troops have
been hurried to these places. There
is a great feeling OF unrest in the
province of Catalonia and further
trouble is feared.

Chamberlain Questioned
Declaration Of the British
Colo4ial Official
The Terms Which VIII Be
Offered

New York, February 19.h-
Gable advices received from London
state that in the House of Common s
yesterday, the Minister for the Co.
lonies Mr.. Chamberlain, replying to
"a question respecting tie South
African situation, stated that the
object Of RECOMMENDATION of Boer
families in South Africa had been
humanitarian. That the goverc-
ment had found it necessary for the
suppression of the ar andthe secur
ing Of an early peace, to burn and
destroy the homes OF fighting Beers,
and that the recommendation was TO
protect the women and children Of
Beers. He further stated that the
families We're we'll fed, ana housed
as we'll as conditions would permit.
Mr.. Chamberlain further stated
that his policy in South Africa was
not Of extirmination; that full poll
tical rights would be granted to all
Beers; that peace negotiations would
be begun as soon as possible; and
that the British authorities would
grant an armistice for as long time
as reasonable. 1t was also stated
that the government of South Africa
would be autonomous, and that the
political and personal rights of the
Beers would not be restricted to
any extent.
This statement is the first one o.
any importance ma e by the Minis
ter TO the Colonies, and is looked
upon as the official views upon the
question of South African policy
and peace. Mr.. Chamberlain's views
have met with the approval Of the
pro Boer press, and tho enthusiastic
support OF the administration.

New Cabinet Minister
Theodore c. Search and William J
Calhoun Mentioned As Posi-
bilities For Secretary Of
Commerce
Calhoun Will Probably Be the Man

New York, February l9tb.-'The
latest advices received from Wash
ington declare that there is much
talk respecting the appointment Of a
Secretary of tie Department Of Com
merce, the new cabinet position
created by Congress. Theodore G
Search and William j. Calhoun
have baen mentioned.
The suggestion of Theodore G.
Search as secretary of tie new
Department of Commerce and Labor
lis due to the fact that Mr. Search
presided over tie proceedings CT the
reciprocity conv eution which re.
comm ended to tie President tfat
the department be created. Pres.
ident Rooseveltis is no. likely to offer
the position 10 anybody until the
bill creating the department comes
before him for signature, and that
may not be for some time.
It is believed though, that when
the President has the Office a, bis
disposal he will look to Illinois for
man 10 fill it. With Mr.. Cages
re irement Illinois has no represent
alive 10 tie cabinet and the Pres
ident is known to be anxious TO
give recognition 10 state which is
the home of his warmest supper ers
and in which the Republican leaders
OF all factions early identified them
selves with his poll icab fortunes
The man whom tie President has
in mind at present for the new place
in the cabinet is William j. Cal.
houn. Mr.. Calhoun has been a
practising lawyer in Chicago ever
since his retirement from the In
terstate Commerce Commission, TO
which he was appointed by Presi-
dent Nc Kinley. He would be J
to all shades of Republi-
cans in Illinois. While he is in |

New York, February l9th.-The

reported TO tie lower House on the
question of Cuban reciprocity. The
Committee does not recommend the
passage of the reciprocity resolu
lions, aud in its report OF more than

of the members of the House, and
is in accordance with the views of a

the Committee had had Gen. .Serrell, ts
promoter of the San Bias route, before j.,
and the matter had been referred to sub
committee which was now conducting "a
investigation OF that project. He pointed
out that Colombia probably would oppose
the adoption Of the San Bias route, % that
would destroy both the Panama Canal and
the Panama Railway Company. 1t would
