said he was Chris Becker of this city.

the slayer's place on the gallows. He
said he was tired of living and saw no
reason why he should not be hanged.
He was greatly downcast when in
formed the prisoner had already been
executed.

Eeusack wants to live. Why not let
me die in his place? He would be

yolving the payment of kOpec. But
i, must be borne in mind that M.
Witte in the negotiations is not free
agent. He represents his emperor. If
he were absolutely free, the confer
ence would not fail. He would make
peace. He sympathizes with the solu-
ton offered by the president, but his
hands are tied and unless he receives
imperial command he can not move.
A Ray Of Hope.
Black as the prospects appeared
last night, however. the failure of the
negotiations is not certain. The Rus
sian camp is pessimistic to man, but
they all know the quick and startling
changes of front that sometimes take
place at Peterhof. And there are fac
tors in the situation which might af
feet one of those sudden and inexpli
cable changes in the emperor's atti-
tude which has frequently astonished
Russia. Private advices from st. Pc
tersburg say that sentiment there, in
Moscow and in large centers favors
acceptance of the compromise. This
may mean much.
But the real hope still rests with
President Roosevelt. He is resource
full. He has made another move. He
has sent Ambassador Meyer direct to
the emperor. and they were together,
acording to advices received here, for
three hours today.
Mr. Roosevelt himself last night
may have known more about how the
emperor feels than NJ. Witte and be
able to act upon the information con-
veyed to him by his ambassador.
Kaiser Backing Car in Refusal.
The report is industriously circulat
cd here that Emperor William is re.
sponsible for the attitude of Emper
or Nicholas, and everything is traced
back to the meeting of the two en-
perors on board the Hohenzollern in
the Finnish gulf. In support of this
it is positively stated that after the
interview NJ Whites instructions
were made stronger and more un-
yielding.

The ladies' handicap doubles tourna-

played down to the semi-finals yester-
day on the park courts. The handicap
ping was good and the matches were
all close and exciting. Joseph Daily,

ing the young ladies and there is a
marked improvement in their play.
Only three matches were played, the
last of which was not completed The

NEW YORK. March 21.-It is a
singular fact that neither Jabez White
nor his manager, Charley Mitchell,
were at all certain about any of
Whites measurements until Tom
O'Rourke stood him up before a mir
ror in the Delavan Hotel bar tonight

with a tape line. Both of the English

White has not the appearance of a
prizefighter. He is of mild counten-
ance and modest and gentlemanly in
behavior. White and Mitchell will
leave for San Francisco tomorrow.
Tom O'Rourke, the well-known
pugilistic expert and fight promoter,
will accompany them. So will Phil

"ROUCH HOUSE"
EARNS TITLE
He Lands Three Haymakers
OH Mclaughlin and the
Referee Stops Slaughter

Did Rough House" Mcdonald have
a lead sinker or a water front restau-
rant sinker in his glove? That's what
the sports who saw the Hawthorne
Athletic Clubs fights at the pavilion
last night want to know.
In the fourth round with Jack Nc
Laughlin. also called the English
champion, Rough House" swung a
haymaker onto the expansive mush OF
the English champ. 1t sounded like
pile driver on the home trip. A sec-
ond and third haymaker made Nc
Laughlin look like a severe case OF
yellow jaundice.
Stop it," said Referee Ed Smith.
This is no slaughter; this is human
warfare" Willing hands gently lifted
the English champion and bore him to
the boneyard.
The card was as good as ever set
the pavilionites screeching. Johnny
Grove got the decision over Young
Dempsey in a fast and furious go.
Grove put one on Dempsey's bugle in
the third that made him cautious and
the rest was Johnnys, though the
other youngster was game to the end.
Harry Tenny proved once more that
he is little better than Johnny Muir
ray. In the fourth he turned a volley
Of jolts on Murray that staggered him.
The latter's second heard the under
takers footsteps approaching and
threw up the sponge, though Murray
wanted to stay for the funeral.
Smiling Jim" Kane lost to Jack
Ennis after a plucky and keen fight
Walter Stanton, who is also known as
Maud" got the decision over Ed
Knock. John Rodney outboxed Jim
Gallagher and Ed Johnson put 1t over
Kid Soto by a shade.

We would not agree to any such propo-
sition he would come around and place
his forfeit, but this match with Jabez
White is beginning to have a serious
look l think Nelson is entitled to the
match / don't want the sporting pub
lie 10 think Bat is looking for a
bonus or any the best of the articles.
All We want is an even break. If Bat
had agreed TO lay down Britts forfeit
Of $500 would have been posted long
ago. l can't afford to let Bat loaf
around until after Britt fights White.
We are entitled to the match and we
want it. Britt knows Bat can defeat
him and he is afraid TO enter the ring
unless he has the match cinched."

This is to add little more zest in the sport

The Juniors and sophomores will row slight
modification of the English stroke prac-
ticed at Oxford The seniors and freshmen
will disport themselves in semi-professonal
style of workmanship similar to the stroke
that enabled Harvard to beat Yale more than
an eighth of mile in So at New London
and to the style that won Syracuse the race
at Poughkeepsie last year.
Though none of the crews has attained per-
fection each has become skillful as could
be expected in the light OF its opportunities.
If they do their utmost to retain to the
bitter end their form and style taught the
