AFTER BoTHA WITH BIG STICK.
Object of Sharp Criticism From Lead

BERLIN, June 3.-The German papers
are making the bitterest kind of attacks
upon Gen. Botha, claiming that Gen

was a gentleman and Il scholar when COM
pared with the new premier, who has been
visiting London and who has been made
the Lion of the season.
The Berlin Boersen charges Gen. Botha
with base ingratitude toward his German
sympathizers of six years ago In thus be-
coming premier of a British colony and
thus entering into the service OF the con
queror.' This paper especially compa re a

The Zeitung says: 1t certainly violates
German conceptions of good taste that this
leader of the old fight whose name was
synonymous with n free Transvaal should
permit himself to be well paid by his new
master. Mr.. Botha might have at least re-
fused to attend the imperial conference
personally as other colonial premiers have
done (sic). inasmuch as the conference has
been more decorative than real and is held
mainly for the purpose of exhibiting sym-
politically the glory and power of imperial

Bishop O'Gorman. considering the tendency
OF the modern American mind toward re-

Catholic Church to satisfy adequately that
want, inclines to the belief that the future
religion of the United States will be the
Catholic religion. There are other elements
at work, he says, tending to strengthen him
in this belief, and one Of these is the fact
that the American people and the American
government appear to grow more and more
liberal in dealing with Catholics.
One Of the things which made the adj

CAPT. MOVES RESIGNS.
Leader of Yale Crew Was Not Able to
Row This Year.

New Haven, Conn, March 20.--Capt
Robert II. Noyss Of the Yale varsity
crew, last night confirmed the report
that he had decided to retire from the
varsity boat and consequently as cap
tain of the varsity eight. This decision
of Capt. Noyes 20 stop rowing for the
season was arrived at after confer
ence with the leading boating officials
at Yale, including Julian w. Clirtiss,
Yale '79. of New York, the advisory
coach, and Coach John Kennedy.
Capt. Noyes said that it had seemed
advisable to Graduate Coach CuTtiss and
Coach Kennedy that he should lay OF
this season snd take complete rest
fof year and probably take Up rowing
again next season The decision to
stop rowing vas reached on account of
Capt. Eoyes not being in prime condi-
tion this gear and the feeling of the
captain and the coaches that it would
be for the best interests of the crew as
well as for Noyes that he should not
continue this spring.
This Is the first time in the history
Of rowing at Yale that a captain of a
varsity crew has gotten out of the
boat and not since Ed. Glass, the big
football star, retired from the football
team on the eve OF a championship
game a few years ago has there been so
much regret among Vale men over the
withdrawal of an athlete as there has
been among the crew squad over the
action Of Capt. Moves.

WANT BETTER SERVICE.
Rutland Merchants Are to Petition the
PostofHce Department.

Rutland, March FLA petition is be-
ing circulated among and largely signed
BY the merchants Of this CITY asking
the postofEioe authorities to take steps
TO insure more prompt delivery in Bos-
ton Of letters sent from this part OF
Vermont on the midnight train. The pc
tition asks that the letters be worked
on the train, instead of being sorted
when they get to Boston, as is now the
custom Under the present system, Rut-
land letters are not delivered in Bos-
ton until the second morning trip Of the
carriers, although the train which leaves
this city at 1890 O'Clock reaches Bos-
ton at about o'clock. Letters from
the others side of the state, which are
worked" on the train, are distributed
in Boston during the first trip Of the
carriers, although the train does not
reach the city until an hour later than
the Rutland train.
Ii is understood that the Merchants
association Of Boston is about to take
up this matter Of obtaining better mail
service from the west side of Vermont,
there being claim that the towns on
the east side are favored with better
service than those on the west side. A
good example Of this is shown in the
case OF Canadian mail, which, In many
instances, instead of coming directly to
this city, is taken to Bellows Falls over
the st. Adams and Boston run, and is
then brought back north to Rutland.

TIDE TURNS FOR HUGHES.
A Great Triumph for Him on the Re-
count Bill.

Albany, N. ", March 21.--The action
of the assembly committee on the ju-
dietary in reporting the Prentice bill
providing for recount of the votes cast
ID the Mcclellan Hearst election is re-
garded here as turning the tide for Gov.
ernor Hughes once more. For the past
ten days the governor has been suffering
several reverses at the hands Of the poll
ticians. 1t is known that some of the
biggest Republican politicians in the
state have been interested in preventing
this recount bill, and Governor Hughes
has twice appealed to the public for
this measure. Its appearance is tn
ilnlph for him. Similarly the report of
the Bingham police bill by the Senate
cities committee Tuesday night is an in
dication of improving conditions. The
Bingham bill viii now pass BY safe
margin OF vote, despite the efforts OF
corrnptionists to block it.
In the same way, change has taken
place in the judiciary committee, which
has charge Of the Kelsey case, and II Is
believed that hereafter the friends of the
governor will control majority of the
COMMITTEES and be able to retrieve the de-
feat OF last week. The Kelsey hearing
will reopen todsy, and viii last into next

of the new lineup will come when the
council for Kelsey attempts TO intro
duce witnesses; then it Is expected the
governors hand will become apparent
