 Tugs Bother Harvard Eight.
 New London. Conn. June 15.-Yale's s varsity eight had another four mile time row over the Thames course last evening. and Harvard's crew would have covered the four miles had not two tugs. the Briggs and Harold. bore down on them and created such wash that the oarsmen ceased rowing at the three mile flag. The varsity crew pull ed a. twenty-four stroke the entire dis tance.
 Yale followed Harvard down stream about o'clock. the two launches hay- ing shells in tow. Haryard's launch stopped a mile above the bridge to let the varsity four and freshmen eight step into their shells and continue to the starting point. Yale reacned the starting flag first and was on the way up the course five minutes ahead of her rival. Harvard varsity substitutes and freshmen waited at the mile post and paced the big crew short distance past this point when the river tugs loomed up ahead. The wash from the towboats was more than, the shells could stand, and Coach Wray shouted to the coxswain to cease rowing and lay to until the white caps had passed them. Neither Wray nor Captain Ell icy appeared to be disappointed at the Interruption. both declaring the crew WAS, not being speeded. The following tables show the time by half miles as caught on the launch, the second mile being missed:
 Half mile, minutes, 54 seconds; one mile. 5 minutes. B seconds; one and q half miles. 8 minutes, 46 seconds; two md n half miles, IA minutes B sec onds: three miles, 19 minutes, 2S sec onds.
 Harvard's freshmen led the varsity about three lengths at the three mile flag. Their time for two miles was l3 minutes g seconds.
 Yale's time for the four miles as given by Coach Kennedy was P minu- tes g 3-5 seconds. If give you the time, it is.correct." said Kennedy, and if I don't give it out-well. you will have to catch it on the outside" As the conditions were excellent for fast time, there was considerable disap- pointment at Broad View when the time was announced. As the eight did not row less than 90. record below 22 minutes was looked for.

FOR WAR OR PEACE !?
Treaty May Be Made at The
 Hague or Geneva.
WAR CLOUDS DARKEy MAECHURIA
Washington stiM . Favorite For Conference-Oyama With Heavy Force Advancing at the
 kaOcbe River.

WASHINGTON, June 15.-Gradually but surely the negotiations for peace in the far east are nearing focus.
 Three cities now are under consid- eration by Russia and Japan. These cities, named in the order of the like lihood of their final selection, are Washington. The Hague and Geneva.
 Thus far no decision has been reach ed. Paris and London have been elim- mated from the equation. It Is un- derstood that the Russian government objects to an Asiatic city, it's prefer ence being for. some European capital After objecting to the holding of the conference in Paris the Japanese gov ernment expressed willingness to consider other places which afforded adequate facilities, although 1t is as- sured that Japan's preference would be some far eastern city. practically within the theater of war.
 Finally. however. the selection seems to have narrowed down to the three cities named. Objections have been made by the Japanese to The Hague, but it Is not believed that those objec- tions are fundamental or unalterable However. as the situation now is. Washington appears 10 be the city most likely to be selected.
 Dispatches from Gunshu pass say that the Japanese have forced the ad- vance posts of the Russian left be- yond the Kaoche river and are occupy ing the heights north of the river.
 A heavy force seems to be behind this movement Field Marshal Oya- ma is about to make general ofYen- sive movement in advance.
 Two leaders of Chinese bandits cap tured at omoso in the rear of the Rus sian left have arrived in camp
 In dispatch to Emperor Nicholas General Linevitch says the Russians after a severe fight occupied the vil- lages of syfongtoy. Chilipou and Chak- hedzi
 Another detachment approached the mines near Chakhedzi. when a Japa- nese company evacuated the mines and retired southwest. where it was re-en- forced by battalion of Japanese with quick firing guns.
 The Japanese detachment on the Mandarin road has retired south of Minhuagay. and the Russian advance posts have resumed their positions at vandililine pass. on the Minhusgsy road.

BASE BALL NOTES

 Among. its other idiosyncracies. New Haven now boasts the name of Lallier on its roster. Lally may be a lalapal. loosa.-Springflcld Union.
 Lajoie said he would like to land eleven out of the sixteen games sched. uled on this trip. If he can do this from now on in proportion. he ought to land the pennant.
 Murphy, Buffalo's first baseman, is the biggest man playing in the Eastern league. He weighs in the neighbor- hood of 255 pounds. and has George Lachance beaten several ways.
 Jack Tanner, who succeeded Ed Me Kean as the manager of the Colorado Springs team, has signed contract whereby he Is to receive no salary if he fails to land his team in the first di- vision in the next thirty days.
 It is to be hoped that the star twirler of the Spokane club, of the Pacific lea que does not break into, the big lea gues. He rejoices in the name of Klinkhammer. That's almost as bad as Swarmweber or Shlppacasse.
 The New York Americans have used two or more pitchers to game more times this season than they have play ed games in which one pitcher went through the entire contest Sixteen times one pitcher went through the whole game. while there has been q change in the box in twenty games.
 Because the score card man in De troit insulted Umpire Kelley. Ban John son has ordered that he be barred from the grounds. and because the score card says be isn't hired ly Ban John son he says that Johnson has no right to ostracize him. and that he will get out an injunction against Ban putting on any bans.

 In his charge to the jury Judss Keogh said:
 The contract between Mir. Gould and Mir. Haydsl was plain. There is no dispute here. The contract says that when the sketch plans showing what was to be doAe were inished and accepted Mr. HaydeI was to recslve l per cent of the estimated cost Of tho castle, which was s967.00o ..I If these plans were accepted. which you must decide. the plaintiff Is entitled te his pay. If they were not approved hs is entitled to none.
 'The second part of the contraco calls for lla per cent of the estimatsd cost of the castle to be paid to Mr. Haydsl when the final plans to show how the castle was to be built .vsro finished and approved. If these blans were accepted the plaintiff. is entitled to his pay. If they were not accepted no pay should be forthcoming.
 While the contract between the plaintiff and the defendant did noe stipulate that no profane language was to be used toward the plaintiff. tho general rules which govern polite e. ciety are generally we'll understood If Mrs. Gould as stated. did use tho word damn to the plaintiff and fhreat ened to call a servant of the hotel e throw him out and otherwise hunilIat. ed him you have that point to considef.
 'Tbe final question is whetber NlP. Haydel was justified in saying be would not 60 to the .waldorf- Astoria again and whether he had been sub. jected to such indignifies that his feel ings were wounded and his sensibiIb- ties hurt. If he was justified in Do acting he Is entitled to compensotfoo according to the contract which. ss his counsel ssys. amounts to some e36Oo

 DECLARED A DRAW.

Boston. June 15.-Peter Sullivan of Fall River and Adam Ryan of Chica- go fought fifteen rounds at the Douglas A. C.. Chelsea last night. Referee Bill Crowley declared the contest draw, but it looked as if Sullivan had a pret- ty good shade on the Chicago boy. The Fall River lad was the aggressor throughout the contest,
 Ryan is accredited with going a if teen-round draw with Battling Nell son" and though he is a pretty clever little fellow, it must be said that on the showing of Sullivan against Ryan last evening he, too, would have q good chance of getting a draw with the Battling one if Ryan did.
 Sullivan's best work was done with his straight left and right cross to. the head, but the only damage done with these in the entire fight was slight opening on Ryan's left cheek bone. Ky and drew the blood from Sullivan's nose and continually tried to keep tlie blood flowing, but no damage was done to either man, and, In fact Ryan finished the bout as clean and strong as when he started.
