Decoration
BY Associated Presx.

BY Associated Press
PEKIN, April 1.-Edwin H. Conger,
American minister to China, who has
been appointed ambassador to Mexico
and will be succeeded here by w. w.
Rockhill, chief of the bureau of Ameri-
can republics, was received in fare

GRATED with the first grade of the third
class of the Order of the Double Drag
on. Mrs. Conger subsequently had an
audience with their majestes, and was
the recipient of imperial gifts.
AS Mr.. Conger has been for some
time the dean of the diplomatic corps
and owing to the fact that he went
through the siege of the legations here
by the boxers in 1900, his departure is
invested with peculiar interest.
At a private dinner given at the Ger
man legation tonight there was a most
cordial exchange of expressions of per-
sonal esteem by Mr.. Conger and Baron
Mumm Won Schwarzenstein, the Ger
man minister.

OXFORD OARSMEN
BEAT CAMBRIDGE
DARK BLUE WINS RACE ON
THE THAMES
Weather Is Perfect and an Unusually
Large Crow. of Spectators Is
Present--Winners Never
Pressed
sy Associated rr.ss.

BY Associated freea-
LONDON, April 1.-Oxford today
won the sixty-second annual boat race
between the universities of oxford and
Cambridge. defeating the latter by
three lengths.
The race was rowed in beautiful
weather. There was not ripple on
the water and the wind was very light.
Consequently there was not much ad-
vantage in the choice of stations. This
contest, always attractive, drew an un-
usually large crowd today, as the
water-side experts had all prophesled
the best race in years, owing to the
evenness of the crews. The prophecy
however, was not fulfilled, oxford
the procession to the finish.
Cambridge won the toss and selected
the Surrey side of the river. The boats
got away to a splendid start at 11;34
a. m. Bucknall set oxford slashing
stroke Of thirty-six to the minute, and
almost Immediately established a lead,
which was never lost.
When Crawl steps were reached the
Oxonians were a few lengths to the
front, and the cheering of their sup
porters on the river banks was some
thing to be long remembered. Both
crews were still rowing strong, but
the dark blues (Oxford) continued to
come away and soon had two lengths
advantage.
Passing the Saccharine works, Tay-
lor Cambridge called on the light
blues, who made gallant response
and closed the gap by half a length
But the dark blues stroke soon shook
off their rivals, oxford quickly regain
ing the lost advantage and adding to
their lead.
Off Chiswick it was evident that the
race had already been decided. Some
of the Cambridge crew showed signs
that they were weakening, but Taylor
made another effort with a stroke
somewhat faster than that of Oxford
1t was not we'll pulled through, how
ever, and lack of rhythm was mani
tested. Thereafter the leaders were
never pressed and passed the ship at
Motlake the easiest of winners by three
lengths. Time, 20 minutes and 80 sec
onds.

FRANCE MUCH DISTURBED
Latin Nations Regard Mediterranean
as Their Sphere of Activity

By Associated Press
PARIS, April 1.-Germany's advent
in the Mediterranean, as shown by
Emperor Williams visit to Morocco
and Chancellor Won Buelow's speech
is the absorbing question of the day.
Heretofore France has dealt with Ger
many on the north, but now for the
first time Germany makes her appear
ance in the south and asserts that she
has strong interests in the territory
bordering on the Mediterranean.
The Latin nations, namely, Italy,
Spain and France, have thus far con-
sidered the Mediterranean as their spe-
cial sphere of activity, although Great
Britain's control of the two gateways,
Gibraltar and Suez, also gives her a
commanding position in the Mediter-
ranean. Naturally, therefore, Ger
many's appearance on this exclusive
field is as unexpected as her appear
ance at Kiao Chou, China, as factor
in the Chinese territorial question.
The officials here continue to view
the situation calmly. They are es-
pecially desirous of having other ma
tions, particularly the United States,
take a sympathetic view of Frances
policy and purposes in Morocco, This
leads to expressions of much satisfac-
tion in the course of the United States
some months ago, which indirectly rec
ognized Frances paramount position in
Morocco. This occurred during the Per-
dlcaris case, when the United States
sought the good offices of France.

decided better results would obtain
from the selection of man like Mr..
Cotton because of his experience in the
Philippines, and his familiarity with
people similar to those in San Domingo.
Mr.. Gould's position was that the Sc
lection of a man should be made with
regard to the interests of the govern
ment, and for that reason he will not
accept the position.
Mr.. Gould could have had one of the
subordinate positions, but he did not
care to go to San Domingo in that ca
pacity.

HAMBURG, April 1.-The supreme
court here today rendered decision in
the case of the pearl, valued at over
$3.50, found in her mouth by woman,
who, accompanied by male escort,
was eating oysters in a restaurant
The woman claimed the pearl and her
escort supported her claim, but the
proprietor of the restaurant sued to
recover the pearl on the ground that
shells, like chicken bones, were by ira
dition left by customer and were a
source of profit to the proprietor. The
court decided that the pearl did not
belong to the woman who found it,
nor to the proprietor of the restaurant,
but to the man who paid for the oys-
ters.
