YALE'S SECOND CREW
OUTROWS THE MODES
Naval Cadets Stick to Their Work
Doggedly.

ANNAPOLIS, Md. May 9.-The Yale
second crew won a decisive victory over
the crew OF the United States Naval
Academy today, crossing the line four
lengths ahead of the midshipmen, in
10 minutes and As seconds. The Yale
crew took the lead al the start and held
it throughout the race. For the first
half mile there was however, little ad-
vantage to the New Haven boys, but
slow recovery, soon began to tell. and
at the mile there was open water be-
tween the boats. From that point on.
though. the Cadets stuck to their work
doggedly and forced their stroke up to
thirty-six. The distance between the
boats constantly increased. The differ
ence between the two styles of rowing
was marked. the Yale crew pulling a
long stroke, getting their hands away
quickly, and slowing down their slides
and body swing as they came aft. while
the Annapolis crew were little shorter
in the water, got their hands away fast,
and recovered quickly. the idea being
to catch the water before the speed of
the boat could check it between strokes.
but the weight, rushing into the stern,
stopped the boat between strokes. Thus
Annapolis rowed thirty-five and thirty
six 10 the minute and even higher at
the start and finish. while Yale rowed
thirty-two, putting it at thirty-four at
start and finish. The difference in the
weights of the two crews was large
the college men averaging 169 and the
Midshipmen but 15S.
The day was ideal for a boat race.
There was scarcely a ripple on the water
and what wind and tide there was sit
ting with the crews. Promptly at 80
the crews took the water, and the ref
erees boat. the Manley, followed, it's
narrow deck crowded.
A few hundred yards from the float
the Manley stopped with jerk, throw
ing everyone suddenly forward. The pro-
peller had become entangled, and the
party had to be transferred to the tor
pedo boat Talbot. There was some de-
lay in starting the crews. and one false
start was made. They were called back.
When the final start was made the An
napolis crew was not ready, and the
Yale crew, catching the water first, gain
ed a slight advantage.
Mr. Timmins. the coach of the navy
crew, declared himself satisfied, how
ever. and the race was rowed to finish.
The lineup of the crews was:
Yale second crew-Stroke. Adams, 14e;
seven, Cross, 167; six, Miller, ia; five.
Stubs, 1870; four, Fish. ia; three, Shaw,

BELMONT REFUSES TO
RACE WITH RELIANCE
Cup Defender Takes Spin
About Long Island.
RIVALRY BETWEEN OWNERS
Constitution Contingent C sim Her the
Superior Craft-New Craft to Have
Other Gaff and SpaTs.

BRISTOL, r. l., May 9.-Rapid prog
ress was made today in reftting the cup
yacht Reliance. which reached the
Herreshof yards this morning, in tow,
from New Rochelle
Soon after her arrival the Reliance set
sail, and a spin was taken about Long
Island in order that Sailmaker Hatha-
way. who was on board, might look the
canvases over. C. Oliver IseIin also
hoped to tempt the Constitution. which
was in the harbor. into a brush, but
August Belmont, owner of the Consti-
tuition, refused to meet the Reliance
and later the Constitution was taken in
tow for New London. where she will be
hauled out and her underbody cleaned
During the spin around Hog Island the
Reliance flew for the first time a new
club topsail, the largest ever carried
by any yacht. 1t stood thirty-six feet
above the truck, and swung fifteen feet
out from the gaff. After the spin the
main sail of the Reliance was unbent
and carried into the Herreshoff sail
loft, where it will be recut. The gaf
was also taken on shore, and the yacht
feet longer, which will take up the
slack sail along the leech. The Reliance
will also have a new set of extra spars,
which were dashed to her tender, the
Sunbeam, today.
The refusal of August Belmont, owner
of the Constitution, to permit his yacht
to meet the Reliance today in a scrub
race down the bay, has caused much
talk among yachtsmen. 1t was naturally
expected that with new set of sails
and a new mainsail bent today, she
would at least sail and try conclusions
With the Reliance. The Constitution
simply took her tender and proceeded
down the bay with canvas under cover.
The action of the Constitution people
in avoiding the Reliance is fully sx-
planned by one close 10 the syndicate
owners OF the Constitution, who sail
tonight that Mr. Belmont was bit
terly disappointed when the Constitution
was not selected to defend the cup two
years ago. and both he and Designer
Herreshoff felt that the regatta COM
mittee selected the slower boat Mr.
Belmont and his friends still believe that
the Constitution cannot only defeat the
Columbia, but the Reliance as well.
Mr.. Belmont does not propose to give
the Reliance the benefit OF any scrub
PAGES SO that Mr.. Iselin may discover
his weak points before the races COM
mence the latter part of this month at
Glen Cove.
The Reliance will leave for New
Rochelle about Tuesday.

Gummed Wheels of Justice.

The wheels of justice in the Recorder E
 Court this morning were greatly gummed by case wherein number of Norwe- gian sailors, sailor boarding house mas ters and an organizer of the Seamen s Association were interwovcn In series of difficulties.
 There were union and non-union men of the sea also included, and 1t was one of those cases wherein factional feeling was much in evidence
 Some of the witnesses could barely be
 understood, owing to rheir broken Eng fish, while 1t became necessary to nave sworn interpreter for others. & Charles Nelson and Ed Smith are ship ping masters (so-called) who have beer l doing a land office business in handling ignorant sailors, and German named Wasserbabep from Boston was sent here to protect the ignorant men from for eign clines, from those who are inclined to impose upon them.
 The. case was brought over from yes- terday. After an hour of evidence, pro
 and con, the two charges of Wasserlaben,
 whom he had gotten into the union, were dismissed The complainant was Smith, of sailor boardlnghouse fame. This par ticular case occupied one hour and mere ly tended to show the condition existing among the ignorant sailors.
 Charterers of vessels and masters en- tering the port of Mobile have, from time to time, complained of sailor board ing house keepers here because of the tendency toward demoralizing their crews. In past years instances of 'shang- haing'' have crept into print, but at-
 tempts to unearth the perpetrators in. variably failed because of ignortance of the victims It is known that. at times nearly the entire crew of vessel would
 leave the craft. and. in consequence. the
 master would experience difficulty in get ting enough men to go 10 sea. The boarding house master would here get in
 his work in furnishing the crew. reapine a harvest in fees, alleged advance money and other incidentals, aside from board money, all of which came out of the ig- norant sailors wages.

WILL FIGHT THE BEAR
JAPAN PREPARING FOR WAR
 WITH RUSSIA.
Czar's Minions Not Idle and Supplies are Being Amassed Preparatory to Combat With F1owery
 Kingdom.

Victoria, B. C., May 13.-According to advices received by the steamer Empress of India, Japanese arsenals were being worked day and night, provisions were being concentrated, coal stored on Tspi- ma Island and on all sides it was evident that Japan. doubting the extent of Rus sia's withdrawal from Manchuria. was preparing for war.
 The Hon. Sidney Fisher. Canadian Min ister of Agriculture. who was one of the passengers by the steamer and who had been in close touch with Japanese roy alty and officials say the war feeling in Japan is very strong and war-like prepa- rations were in view. The massing of Russian troops on the banks of the YaIu. on the pretense that protection is being accorded to timber concessionaries, was causing strong feeling in Japan. this be- ing regarded particularly as menace to Japan.
 The destruction by fire of the powder factory at Tokiofu has led to sinister ru- mors that Russian spies were connected with the disaster.
 Russia continues making extensive mill itary preparations.
 The North China News reports that there has been a continuous flow of Rus sian troops travelling by train from liar bin to Port Arthur, while other large bodies have been moving to the eastern boundaries of Manchuria. camping in the vicinity of Yalu River, which divides that country from Korea.
 The war-like movements are causing great alarm to Chinese officials, and an unnamed Chinese official is quoted as saying that the Russians are preparing for the inevitable struggle with Japan, a day which all Chinese officials believe to be not far distant.
 One report that has caused great excite ment in Japan is to the effect that Russia is endeavoring to make an agreement with China regarding Manchuria.
 The Niroku says the secret treaty pro- vides for the ensuring to Russia of rights in Manchuria, Russians alone to be em- ployed in Government offices and under no circumstances shall any one of the three eastern provinces be alienated to any other power. In case of any future emergency necessitating military meas ures, China and Russia are to so-operate and no other power will be allowed tc interfere.
 It was reported that Wan Wen Shao was heavily bribed to endeavor to SC. cure this arrangement for Russia. The British and American Ministers, 1t was said, are making strong objections.
