MODES WIN HOLLOW VICTORY.
Pennsylvania Boat swamped In Rough
 Sea and Goes Under.

Annapolis, May IA heavy sea cap sized the University of Pennsylvania's eight-oared shell in their race today on the Severn with the navy's crew, and gave to the latter an easy victory. The water was fairly smooth early in the afternoon, but hardly had the crews taken to the water berore stiff breeze started and a heavy sea was soon rolling over the course.
 After one false start, in which Battles broke an oar, the boats got off we'll from flying start The middies being more accustomed to rough water took things as easy as possible, merely hanging on and not trying to spurt.
 Pennsylvania, however, hit things up to 35-stroke and their boat soon com menced to fin. At the sanree wharf the boat went under, and In a few seconds was swamped. and the men were taken off in launch. The freshmen crew race was called off.
 The navy oarsmen were little pleased over their hollow victory and immediate ly requested the Quakers to make an- other date, so the real merits Of the two crews could be tested. The Pennsylvanians declared that with the permission of their faculty they would come here on May Is for another race.

CONSTITUTION REFUSED.
Old Boat Wouldn't Take a Chance
 Against the Reliance.

New Rochelle. May 2.--Although chal- lenged by c. Oliver Iselin and the Reli- ance, the Constitution, last years unsuc- cessful candidate for the chance of de- lending the Americas cup, today refused a brush with her new and speedy rival. The Reliance after a morning spin got under way again at 2:30 D. m. and start ed off along the Long Island shore. There was a 12-knot wind from the south and smooth sea-ideal conditions.
 The Constitution remained at Glencove with her mainsail up and head sails in steps until the Reliance was half way back Then the Belmont boat began to jog back and forth off the cove under mainsail and two head sails The Reliance was carrying a working topsail and three lower sails, and was willing and anxious for a race. When she met the Constitu- tlon she was promptly put about and beam and beam they started on a reach. They were abeam of each other half a mile or more apart for only half a minute, when just as 1t was beginning to look as though the extra canvass of the newer boat was drawing her away, the Con stitution came about and headed back to- ward the cove. The Reliance was kept on her course for a short distance and then squared away for home, reaching her anchorage at GEO D. m In the choppy sea, the Reliance caused considerable splashing but did not stop her speed in the least In three long legs and 45 min utes of sailing she covered nine miles of windward work.

ADJUSTMENTS.
AT THE BiJOu. All week, with usual matinees-- George Fawcett Company.

"The Amazons" at the Bijou.
 Grace Kimball and the George Fawcett Company which she heads will be seen at the Bijou this week in production of the comedy, "The Amazons." This play was a few years ago, a sensational sue cess at the old Lyceum theater which graduated such stars as Sothern, Racket Mary Mannering, Virginia Harmed and others of equal renown. On the occasion of it's production there 1t ran for many months but strangely enough 1t has never been seen in the south but once. Therefore it will come here as novelty Mir Fawcett believes it will be one of the most popular productions he has ever of- ifered to this city.
 From curtain rise to curtain fall ''The Amazons" Is funny It is based on the efforts of a mother whose daughters, charming as women, are forced to wear boys clothes because the mother wanted boys instead of girls These premises de velop into marvellous comedy in the course. of the play, leading to complica- tion after complication all of which are handled with skill. wit and cleverness of construction rarely seen in farce of this kind When all these factors are taken into consideration there Is no won- der at the great success which this play achieved. Miss Kimball Is particularly well cast in the part of one of these daughters. Her comedy work, always charming, will have full scope and sway in the portrayal of this type of character and her personal popularity here will add immensely to the general effectiveness of the production.
 Another player of this section who is well cast Is Wallace Worsley, the lead- ing man of this company. His best work has been done in comedy and the part of one of the young men in "rhe Amazons' offers every opportunity to him. l.. B. Carleton, Lucille LaVerne. Julia Marie Taylor, Frank Craven, Marion Ten Eyck, Molly Brady, Edwyn Evans, Allan Faw- cett and Charles Kinsley will complete the cast.
 MT. Fawcett has paid particular atten- tion to this production and believes that it will show his company in new and surprising light The usual Tuesday Thursday and Saturday matlnees will be given during this engagement.

PESSIMISM IN THE PULPIT

As 1t is accurately set forth in current day-to-day publications of all kinds, the pulpit output every week is steeped in the deepest dyes of pessimism. In the vision of these gentlemen. nothing that is. is right. Our politics. they assure us is wrong. They declare that it Is all the private gain. There is some ground for the indictment, but it is not true as a general proposition. In the whole Union we have forty-five law-making bodies and the statutes they frame year in and year out are for the most part better, broader. wiser, and are enacted by sim liar bodies within the whole circle of civ ilization. The corruption that Is made so painfully apparent to us Is only in spots. It is not the web and wool of the whole product. In other words, the mass of our lawmakers in this generation. and in all the ones that have passed away, are hon. est. Had they been otherwise. govern ment of the people would long ago have gone to ruin. The ship of the republic would have been on the rocks, not on the seas triumphant. freighted with the hopes and aspirations or all humanity. But the preachers cannot. or will not, see the stately craft in all her beauty. ma jesty and strength. Their vision is blurred. To them the horizon is shroudeo in storm.

Santiago de Cuba, May 2.-The Domini- can gunboat Fl Presidente arrived today. The gunboat took former President Vas quez of Santo Domingo and number of political refugees to Guantanamo on Ap- Til 27 and was detained there several days because of the refusal of the Cuban gov ernment to permit the the ship to pur- chase coal

WENT AT A SWIFT PACE

Louisville. May 2.-After having been placed under arrest at the instance of the Citizens league Benny Langer and Kid Broad went twenty fast rounds at the Southern Athletic club tonight. Yam ger getting the decision.
 At 1 o'clock this afternoon the prin- cipals. Manager Gray of the Southern Athletic club and Referee Tim Hurst. were arrested and taken before Judge Caruth of the Criminal court. Judge Caruth held that the men could not be put in jail unless the contest should de- velop into prize fight He imposed a bond of 5000 to Keep the peace for each case.
 The fight tonight went at a swift pace Twice during the first ten rounds the men seemed to tire but they would recuperate quickly and go at it again hammer and tongs. Broad proved glutton for pun ishment. Yanger clearly out-pointed him. Yanger drew first blood in the third round with hard smash to the nose Broad kept on playing for the body and his blows seemed to shake Yanger consid- erably. After this Yanger seemed to freshen up and Broad seemed rather winded. The Kid kept forcing the fight ing, apparently playing for a quick finish
 Broad landed three stinglng rights on Yanger's jaw In quick succession at the opening of the sixth round. Yanger drove a pair of rights to the stomach in pile-driver fashion and then repeated the dose with a vigor which sent Broad into clinch to hang on heavily. Broad began slowing down in the eighth under a broadside of merciless body punches Nevertheless his blows would jar Yam ger when they struck home. Yanger be- gan to feel around with uppercuts, but missed most of them In the ninth round the fight developed into a terrific exchange of straight jabs to the head, with honors about even.
 It was still anybody's fight up to the seventeenth round. From this to the end they tried vainly for a knockout without success the twentieth round ending with a fierce mix-up.
 The decision of Referee Hurst award ing the fight to Yanger met the approval of the crowd, Yanger having clearly proven himself the cleverest and fastest man of the two. Broad was very wob- bly at the finish.
 Twenty-Five hundred people saw the fight.

Spanish Treaty Claims Commission
 Explains Its Future Course.

Washington, May 2.-The Spanish treaty claims commission today filed a statement of the principles which will govern its decisions on claims of Ameri- can citizens against Spain which have been assumed by the United States. The important points of the statement are:
 The United States will pay only those claims which Spain was bound to pay before the United States assumed their payment.
 There was no recognition of Cuban bel ligerency which barred the claims of our citizens
 Nothing in the treaty will be so ap- piled as to render Spain liable for dam ages done to property in the track of war or by military movements not un- necessarily and wantonly conducted

Beecher was undoubtedly the greatest and most eloquent pulpit orator of the last half of the old century. As rule, his Illuminating, inspiring and exalting addresses all dealt with the bright and beautiful side of life, not it's wickedness and crime. He believed that the majority of mankind was good, and his philoso- phy was to help them to become better. It was one of the great secrets of his success. of the enormous influence he ex- erted on the mind of his generation. May il not be that pessimism in the pulpit is largely responsible for the slender church attendance, about which so much com plaint is frequently heard2

I was troubled with eczema on the face for i've months, during which time I was in care of physicians. My face was in such condition that could not go out.

The time is surely ripe for remov-
al of the duty on anthracite, if one
really exists, which seems to be q
matter of difference of opinion even
among experts, and of reduction
of the dnty on bituminous coal.
The shortage of coal allover the
country, the advance in price and
the suffering ensuing is reason
enough. The refusal of the anthra-
cite operators to recognize the rights
of their dependent customers, the pub
lies removes any need reconsideration
on the part of the country toward
them. 1t is little different with the
bituminous operators. There are
many more private and independent
mine owners and operators of bitumi-
nous coal. The mining of bituminous
coal is more scattered over the entire
country. The tariff has enabled them
to pay better wages than they could
otherwise have done. The object
of the tariff, has thus been meritor-
ious one, to benefit the condition of
laborers. But If the mines here can't
meet the demand it is surely time to
encourage the Importation of coal.
