MIDGET RIDES WELL
Joseph Johnson Comes TO
Fore as Lightweight

Special to The Globe ~
NEW YORK, April 29.-One of the most
promising lightweight riders that has
come to the front this season is Joseph
Johnson, midget of a boy who can ride
at rs pounds. Although he is not higher
than the shoulder of a horse. and his legs
are so short that they can scarcely reach
below the flaps of his saddle this
yourgster can control some of the heav-
lest headed thoroughbreds in training.
Where lads much older and stronger have
failed TO keep vicious horses from running
off with them. Midget Johnson. by
some power of his own. has never been
carried around the track on a runaway's
back.
During the winter meeting at New Or
leans and the races at Washington. he
returned as winners 80 per cent of the
horses he rode. He has not had many
mounts, but with few that he has had
he has demonstrated ability of a high
order as jockey. Johnson won his FIRST
race at Kenilworth Park, Buffalo, last
fall. Previous TO that event ne had been
a stable lad for two years with Thomas
Walsh. who trains for Mayor Julius
Flieschmann of Cincinnati. He went with
Thomas Clare to New Orleans last win
ter. At that place Thomas Mannix. the
horse owner. was attracted 10. him by his
clever work in the saddle and he sccIil ed

COLUMBIA OARSMEN
WELL ALONG in WORK
Followers Say They Are a
Month Ahead of
Last Year
Special to The Globe

Special to The Globe
NEW YORK, April 29.-Columbia uni
versity crews, under the direction of COM
petent coaching, are rapidly rounding into
first class condition for the intercollegiate
races on July l. Those most experienced
In rowing affairs at the local institutions
are of the opinion that the blue and white
oarsmen stand a much better show this
season than in a number of years One
man prominent in Columbia rowing af-
fairs said recently that in his estimation
the men were a month ahead of last sea-
son at this time. With such expressions
being voiced the students have come to
expect winning boat for the Poughkeep-
sic races.
That the coach will not be troubled this
year by having a squad which is lacking
in weight is an assured fact, for the aver
age weight of the men whom Coach
Goodwin considers as best. fitted for
four mile race will come very close to
the $50 pound mark. Among the oars
men in the first time two varsity shells
only four have not won their CO. for
rowing.
The question of suitable stroke for
the Poughkeepsie eight is a serious prob
lem, and will give coach and captain some
trouble. Apparently there are three
strong candidates for the position-FTazer
Plerrepont and Post. The latter two have
both had experience in stroking Column
by many as the most finished of the
three. Post was the stroke of the varsity
eight at Poughkeepsie last year and made
creditable showing. but was unable to
raise the stroke at the critical moment
POST enormous strength is one of the
points in his favor. Pierrepont has more
snap to his work than Post but he has
never rowed four mile race, and there
is question as TO whether he has the
physique to stand ii. In the four cared
race at Poughkeepsie last year he stroked
the Columbia boat a close second to Cor
nell. Frazer is one of the most finished
oarsmen ever turned out by Columbia
but he is extremely light for the stroke
OF varsity eight. Many. however con-
slider that he will be the stroke OF the
senior boat.
Four eights are sent away from the
Columbia boathouse on the Harlem every
afternoon, two made up of varsity oars
men and two of freshmen. All of the
Columbia boats will this year row a
higher stroke than last season, 1t being
the idea of Coach Goodwin to have the
men hold to a thirty-four to the minute
clip throughout the race. Last year the
stroke was nearer twenty eight

reach her contract speed requirement of
thirty Knots an hour although on one
run she did reach that rate, of speed for

sci on his own conditions, subject to such
deductions from the contract price as he

CHANGE IN THE ITINERARY.
Secretary Morton Will Go to San Juan
First, Instead of Havana.

Just before Secretary Morton left Charles
ton on the Dolphin he made a change in the
itinerary of his trip. Under the original
plan the Dolphin was to proceed direct to
Havana and then go to Guantanamo and
San Juan, thence returning to Hampton
Roads. The plan as changed just reverses
that order of travel, so that the Dolphin is
now ON her way to San Juan instead of
Havana.
The change will involve the postponement
of the ceremonies at Havana which were
arranged by the Cuban authorities in honor
of the expected visit of Secretary Morton
and his distinguished party. In anticipa-
ton of the Seeretary's visit the cruisers
Olympia and Des Moines and the battle
ships Missouri and Kentucky left the North
Atlantic fleet at Guantanamo and proceed
ed to Havana. They arrived there Sunday,
and the officers have been cordially enter
tanned by the Cuban authorities. The ves-
sells will remain at Havana until the ar
rival of Secretary Morton and his party, the
latter part of next week. That party will
make it's longest stay at Guantanamo to
inspect the new naval station and review
the twenty-five warships engaged in exer-
ciSes in that vicinity.

VIOLATES THE AGREEMENT.
The Dominican Government Attempts
to Tax American Sugar Producers.

Mr.. Crammond Kennedy, representing as
Hugh Kelly & Co.. called at the State De-
partment today to present to Acting Sec
retary Adee the complaint of that firm
against the action of the Dominican gov
ernmen in violating, as he claimed, the
spirit of an agreement entered into with
the sugar producers, nine-tenths of whom
are American citizens, in consideration of
a large sum of money paid, to remove the
export tax on sugar. The firm telegraphed
a follows:
"our steamer Aurora now at Azua to load
sugar for US. Dominican authorities refuse
to permit the steamer to load without 10
per cent production tax paid. Steamer has
sugar now on board from Santo Domingo
city on which tax was not paid or demand
ed"
Mr.. Kennedy represented to the State De-
pertinent that that action on the part of the
dominican authorities was in violation of
President Morales decree of December is.
1893, eXempting sugar from any tax or i'm
post whatever. That decree is indeed also
a law, because it was issued by the Do
mInlcan government for valuable con-
sideration received from the American
sugar producers upon deliberate considera-
ton of the conditions of the sugar indus
tcy in the islands.
Mr. Dawson has reported officially upon
the decree to the effect that it was obtained
iegtimately and without fraud or deceit by
the sugar producers of Santo Domingo.
These American sugar producers have Of
fcIed to submit the question whether the
production tax is legal to the Dominican
courts. The matter will be referred to Mr..
Dawson.
