Attention
Atlilfti-N ,
Tlio past few weeks have seen much prog
ress by the thousands of coltcRc athlctei
now cngaRcJ In preliminary training for
the many Important events that nro to on-
.liven the world of s-port during the coming
rjeatwn. In the cast the last signs of winter -
tor have nbout disappeared nnd many of
the athletes have been able during the past
week to transfer their training from llio
gymnasiums to athletic flcldd. At Pennsyl
vania , Georgetown and Virginia the b.is6
ball men hsvo been out on the dlamoivl
for uomo time nnd It will not be long before
the candidates at the colleges situated some
what nearer Dr. Nation's latest discovery
will bo able to move out In the open nho.
Then the oar-union will bo able to get on
the water , In barges at first , later In their
regular nhclls. Following them will coma
out the track athletes , and a little later
the spring squmlo of foot bill players will
take some light exercise.
Ilocntisp of Yale's proposed Invasion of the
Henley regatta , which Is held In lOiiglantl
during the first part of July , and the ar
rangement of quadrangular 'varsity mid
frojliman races between Cornell , Harvard ,
Columbia and Pennsylvania , aquatic * has
absorbed more attention than all the other
branches of Intercollegiate sport bunched
together. Tlila Interest has been growing
among collegians and other lovers of the
great amateur sport over plnco ( he plans
for the coming wason were announced , nnd
before the next anniversary of In lepcii'l"nc
day shall have pawed by the Inurcst In
Intercollegiate aquatic" will have reached
a fever heat. ,
Yalo's faculty tins given Its consent to
the foreign trip of the New Haven oirsmon ,
and so far as can now be soon there Is r
obstacle In the way. Yale has excellent ma
terial from which to select a crew this year ,
all the prominent Yalenslans who have made
their fame In the dark blue ohell are liking
-turns helping coach the ambitious students ,
and the oarsmen themselves have the advan
tage of Cornell's experience last year. Surely
Yule will go abroad well prepared to bring
back the Grand Challonco cup , and every
American will jvls'i ' them success.
The crow Is now rowing as follows : Stroke ,
Langford ; 7 , Captain Treadway ; C , Sutphln
and I.onacrc ; 5 , Hnlley ; 4. nodgcrs ; 3 , IlearJ ;
2. Drown ; bow , Mlllnr. It will be seen that
there are three veterans In the last three
seato of the boat when Longacre Is rowing.
This Is particularly fortunate , as these men
have a great deal to do with the stroke of
the entire eight. The other men. arc all
above the average , and neb Cook and Josh
Hartwell , who have spent conslderabln lima
In coaching during the last month , decliro
that Yale will this year put one of the best
crows ever seen.
Among the collegians who will take part
In the nuidrangular racs. those nt Columbia
and at Cornell appear to bs making the
best progress at present , but many surpr'soi
may develop befre June 26. It Is said that
tlio work of the Harvard crow has of late
been very desultorylinnd that the crew has
.deteriorated rather than Improved. Coach
Watson Is strictly enforcing hls'tiilcs of se
crecy , nnd but little Is really known of the
work of the oarsmen , even around Cam
bridge. Bob Stev tiEOiii considered one of the
Etead'ost and most reliable men liv the Har
vard shell last year and who was taken
, 111 before the. race , has announced that ho
will not row this -yoar. ; _ Thls , has helped
nlong the general foellng'or depression. "The
latest order of the crew is as follws : Stroke ,
Gcoilrlch ; 7 , Jennings ; C , Sprague : 5 , Holll < : -
ter ; 1 , Hullard ; 3 , Moulton- , , Stillman and
Hayes ; bow , piinlop , * *
'
Two weeks ago th'nre was a clgud of dark
hue hanging over the rowing prospects of
Pennsylvania , hut the sliver llnlni ; Is more
In evidence n'w. T.hen Rills Ward had Just
been engaged as coach , Captain Hull had re
signed the captaincy df the crqw atul stopped
rowing , and nearly all of last year's crew
, had followed the example of their captain
All this was because they thought them
was no bsttor form of stroke on earth thin
the stroke Coach Woodruff had taught to
them , and they were unwilling unlearn It
and learn the stroke Ell's Ward proposed to
Introduce. Only Peterson nnd Jack of list
year's crew remained on the list of can
didates when Ward came in as coach a fort-
nlelit ago. Things are not so bad as they
might Beein to be , however , for Ward has
succeeded In getting out twenty of the ben
men In c'llege to train for the crew. He
Will not have the advantage of many ex
perienced oarsmen , but he will not have to
.work nga'nst ' orrther man's methods , and
thnt counts for u great den ) . A number of
last year's freshmen crew are In training ,
and Ward Is hopeful of turning out a fast
crow. It ! s probable that Peterson will bo
elected captain. The choice is between him
and Jack. The most promising cf the men
ere Peterson , Ja"k , Hoylo , Tlsiner , Stearns ,
Darrceh , Herr , Megargee , Atkln , Stciihen-
. sou. Kprtescue , Qarnott , Hurls , Wlllauer ,
Sinister , Dunn. Dcsllver , Watson , Burls , Ur-
qtihart and Meaker.

CHAMBERLAIN. S. D. , March C. ( Spe
cial , ) The Information from Washington that
Senator Kyle's bill , permitting settlers In
Gregory county , this state , to prove up en
( heir land after a residence of five years , had
bstn favorably received , will prove welcome
news to the settlers. For the benefit of those
who fall to unlerstand the meaning of this
It can bo explained that nearly all the tat
tlers In Gregory county have been there
since the land was ceded by the Sioux and
opened to settlement on February 10 , 1890 ,
but owing to the fact that the county was
not surveyed until last season the settlers
have been unable tojnake entry of the land ,
and cannot do so until this spring , when the
plats are expected to be filed tn the Cham
berlain land office. Senator Kyle's bill pro
vides that those of the rqunttcrs who can
show flvo years' residence on the land
claimed by them , can , at the time of making
original entry , Immediately give notice of
making final proof. This Is a decided Inno
vation In the disposal of public lands , but
wJlt prove of great benefit to many of the
settlers , and will be a fitting atonement on
the part of tlio government for the delay In
having the , land surveyed.
A struggle for supremacy Is tn progress
between Ur. Fred Treon , United States In
dian agent nt Crow creek and Lower Brute
agencies , and Matthew Kcan , nub-agent ut
Lower Brute. Both agencies are underthe
Jurisdiction of Dr. Trcon , his headquarters
being at Crow Creek agency , wlillo Lower
Brule Is managed by a sub-agent or clerk In
clmrgo. Kcan waa appointed to the position
late last spring , to fill the vacancy caused
by the promotion of Luke C , Hays , the for
mer sub-agent , to tlio position of United
Stales Indian agent at Fort Belknap agency ,
Montana. Kean'tl appointment was opposed
by Dr. Trcon , and the present dllficully dates
from that time. It Is understood that
charges of Incompetciicy have been filed
against him. Dr. Treon was called to Wash
ington , presumably In connection with the
pipsent trouble between himself nnd Ills
subordinate. Kean Is from Lawler , la. , and
Is said to be backed by ex-Governor Horace
Boles.

The second annual meeting of the Black
Hills Irrigation association was held here
Wednesday , with Jamcj M. Woods of Rapid
City , president , In the chair nnd C. V.
Gardner of Piedmont , secretary. The at
tendance was very large and enthusiastic.
The proceedings of the day were devoted
to organization. Committees on constitution
and resolutions were appointed. The presi
dent made a very eloquent'opening address ,

medic consideration of the Irrigation ques
tion. Hon. John Scollard made a very
hearty address \\elccne on behalf of.the

giving the experience-of the Elkhorn rail
road In thotconstructtoh at reservoirs north
cf the Hllls-for watering cattle , on the way
, to the leading pens at Belle Fourche.
The Etcond day's session opened with an
address from James Newland of Butte county ,
a member of the last state senate. Having
had practical experlenca for years In irriga
tion , his talk was very instructive. Dr. V.
T. McOIllycuddy , dean of the School of Mines
at Rapid City , was second on the program
and gave an extremely Interesting address.
Chauncey L. Wood , mayor of Rapid City ,
mada an address that was the feature of
the day. He urged every farmer to start
the work by making a reservoir of his own ,
even though It be small , thus setting an
example for ills neighbor.
The committee on organization reported
the following list of officers , who were
elected : President , J. M. Woods , Rapid City ;
vice president , S. E. Wilson , Hot Springs ;

RIO DE JANERIO , Jan. 20. Since the
revolution of 1893-04 the political situation
In Brazil has not been so critical as at pres
ent. There are two powerful reasons for
this disturbing state of affairs. In the first
place , the Jacoblnos , or natlvltlsts the
party of the JaXoMarshal President Florlano
Polxoto Is termed ; become more powerfu
day by day and , .threaten to overthrow the
moderate government of President Brudente
do Moraes. ,5
In the second place , the relations betwccu
France and Brazil , grow moro strained as
each day passes , and It ts anticipated the
Brazilian government will shortly bo callei
upon to , face ltho iljindlng of French troops In
the Amapa country , the territory which has
DO long been In. dispute between this country
and France. j > '
Taking up the first question which dis
turbs tbo country , it should be explained thai
the Jacoblnos.olwltU Francisco Glyccrlo ant
Qulnttno Bocaura at their head , are belt
responsible'fontfiQLtroubles at Sea Paulo a
few weeks agojl during which a great num
ber of important jstores , etc. . belonging to
foreigners , wofQi-destroycd. They are also
said to'havcUInetlgatod the disturbances at
Santos , whereiiuhe ji editorial and printing
offices of two newspapers were demolished
and they are hold responsible for the trouble ;
at Ore PretOj where two men were klllei :
and many wounded , as a result of the riot
ing which broke out there. Briefly , the
Jacoblnos are opposed to all foreigners , and
the memebro take every opportunity of show
ing their dislike for the foreign population
But they are already very powerful In congress -
gross and throughout th'o'countrj , nnd there
is great danger that they will be able to
overthrow the president and his government.
Then , again , further trouble la untlclpateJ
In the state of RioGrande , do Snl. After
the vote of congress , by which genera ]
amnesty was declared for every person who
had , directly or indirectly , participated In
the revolution In that utato , pcoplo ex
pected that quiet and prosperity would reign
there for some time to conic. The govern
ment of President Moraes sent General In-
nocencio Galarao do Quclroz as commander-
In-chlef of the federal forces In Rio Grande
do Sul and the revolutionary troops sur
rendered their arms to htm. But the presi
dent did not take Into consideration that the
governor of that stdto , . Julian do Casttlho ,
had not been conciliated , and as eaon as the
ex-iiipurgcnts , acting upon the vote of
amnesty , returned to their homes. Castllho
began to prosecute them In every manner
possible , and thl ? has caused the rebellious
yplrlt to burst Into fresh flame.
The lost news recolvjd here from Blo
Grande do Sul announced that Castllho had
purchased 2,000 Mauser rifles nnd that ho
was arming threp new regiments of Infantry ,
with the Intention of actively opposing the
federal government If any attempt Is * made
to restrain him from persecuting the Insur
gents who have returned 'to ' their homes.
But Castllho Is enjoying the support "of the
Jacoblnos , and they have succeeded In bring
ing about the rb'call of General Galarao do
Quotrez , the officer who succeeded in restor
ing order In Rio Grande do Sul , and Can-
tllho Is practically In full control and In
opposition to the president. Reports reach
here almost dally of murders and other ex
cesses committed at his Instigation. But the
authorities seem to be helpless.
Au If this Internal trouble was not suffi
cient , the dispute between Franco and Bra
zil , regarding the ownership of the Amapa
territory , Is rapidly growing as dangerous
as It IH possible to bs. . Negotiations have
been In progress between the two govern
ments for a long time past looking to the
settlement of the matter by arbitration.
But It Is doubtful whether the pcoplo of
the state of Para , nho have considerable In
terests at stake In Amapa and who Imvo
extensive settlements' there , could be pre-
vallei ) upon to evacuqto thqlr lands peace
fully. Then cnnJe tlio landing of a French
force at Amapa from the gunboat Bengali
ind the Increased ill feeling which followed.
Hero again tho-Jajbuos } | showed their hand
and Insisted that this landing , as well as
the ownership of tlio territory , should bs sub
mitted to arbitration , holding that Brazil
was entitled to/-tUnago3 ; as the result of
the action of Uia. , French agent. Franco
would not elvovhep consent to this , hence
tlm Increased gravity of the situation ,
In the moanwhtle , bands of filibusters , di
rected by CabrJl , the representative of the
state of Para iJi' thb Amapa territory , have
been seizing p'r6bdrty hero and there and
squatting on It1 regardless of the protests
af thp French. Numbers of Frencbruun have
boon killed an'd' ' bther outrages have been
recordf-d. NowV 11 1s slated hero In official
circles Franco' hiU' become tired of tlila
state of affairs and 1ms sent nn Intimation
o Brazil that unlcia'lier cit'zens ' are promptly
[ irotected and iltboir wrongs redressed a
1'rench squadroor will bo sent to Amapa and
I'rencli troops ? wlll bo disembarked to pro
tect French interoats. This news has caused
i.great sensation at Para as , well as ho'ro
ind there werq. many manifestations agolnst
the French government , while the govern
ment of Brazil wag teipje&tcd to tend war
ihlpa to patrol the. coast and prevent the
andlng of French .troops , This the govern-
nent could nor'refuso to do , and a few days
igo the Brazilian cruiser Gulranay was or-
lorcd north to cruUe In the waters of Amapa
ind a conflict between that vessel and the.
Dcngall or some other French craft 'may ' bo
intlclpatcd unless bottj Bides use. mere tact
ban they .have . hitherto displayed.
In addition to the Intrlguoo of the'Jaco-
jlnos and the difficulty with Franco over
.lie AmapA territory , Brazil baa not yet net-
.led her piliunderstandlng with Great Brit-
itn In regard to the possession of Trinidad.
in concluslaii It may bp Bald that almost

SAN FRANCISCO , March C. Dr. Browi
did not take the stand as was expected at tin
evening session of the council before whlcl
lie Is on trial on charges of Immorality.
Mrs. W. H. Aber was called by the de
fense nnd told of things Mrs. Davidson hat
totd her nbout Miss Overman , and othei
tilings Mips Overman had told tier aboiil
Mrs. Davidson. Counsel for Dr. Browr
stated to the council that Mrs. Abcr wouli' '
glvo further testimony at' another time li :
private.
' The testimony of Mrs. Halllgan , Mrs. Mcyei
and Detective Seymour was read and Deacon
Vasconzetlos was called. Ho corroborated
the testimony of Dr. Brown as to the baptism
of Mrs. Stockton. The witness was asked ll
lie had never noticed Dr. Brown acting with
undue familiarity toward women In the
church. Deacon Williams shut off the
oncwer.
"I would like to ask If the Judge advocate
nnd the counsel for Dr. Brown , " he said ,
"cannot agree that Dr. Brown has never
been seen In the church , on the street or
any other place Indulging In any familiarity
with any woman under the heavens. We
ore all convinced that he has not done any
thing of that kind and wo would probably
save a good deal of time by admitting that. "
No one "taking Issue with this ftnnd , Dojicon
Williams made a motlpn to embody that
sentiment and It was can led unanimously.
Rov. C. 0. Brown resumed his testimony
In hta own defense before the Congregational
CDuncll today. He admitted that ho has ex
changed letters with Miss Overman while the
latter was absent In Tacoma. The letters
were produced , Dr. Brown explaining that
Miss Overman had esnt to her homo In Ta
coma for the letters. AH of the letters were
prosaic epistles concerning matters In the
church and books which Miss Overman was
reading. "A Sweet Love Letter Is It Not ? "
suggested Dr. Brown when the first of tlio
dry and colorless epistles was read.
Dr. Jlrown then referred to Ms connec
tion with Mrs. Davidson , recounting bow she
had waited for htm after prayer meeting
when Mrs. Brown was absent and asking him
to walk toward homo with her. Mrs. David
son asked him If lie did not mlrs Mnttlo
Overman and he had Innocently replied that
ho did. Ho denied that he said that Mlsd
Overman waa the best read woman ho had
over met , but stated he had said that , con
sidering her age and opportunities , he won
dered at her Intelligent discussion of techni
cal and scientific authors. Ho said that Mrs.
Davidson on various pretexts had Induced
him to accompany her to see many people
and had asked him to show her through the
Young Men's Christian association building.
She wished to meet the general secretary of
the association , and while waiting for that ,
officer , Dr. Brown said he and Mrs. Davidson
had sat a few minutes In the office of the as
sociation. Dr. Brown said these Interviews
nnd visits were all a part of Sirs. Davidson's
scheme to blackmail and Into which he Inno
cently fell. Mrs. Davidson sought to have
htm with her in such places as would make
it possible for her to secure witnesses as to
what she had described as consultations re
garding Miss Overman's revelations and con
cerning his alleged liaison with Miss Over
man.
Continuing , Dr. Brown raid that In the
last week In August Mrs. Davidson had come
to his office In the diurch and bad asked him
to lend her a little money. Ho loaned her
at that time $20 , later $40 , and again $30.
She always stated that her dividends from
the corset firm were delayed In the cast.
Dr. Brown , , much moved , said ho had always
believed tn not letting his right hand know
what his loft hand did , but ho had no choice
now but to explain there matters. Ho said
that since ho has bpen pastor of the present
charge ho had given away more than half
his salary. Ho said there wcro many persons
who had borrowed $10 from him whom he
would be very glad to see at the council.
Ho denied that tie had ever prayed with
Mrs. Davidson alone , although admitting that
ho should have done so. Dr. Brown said he
had never called Mrs. Davidson his "Mother
in Christ , " adding that Mrs. Davidson com
mitted a racrllego when she misquoted him.
Then Dr. Brown told how Mrs. Davidson had
finally revealed herself In her true colors
She told him how n well known minister had
visited a lodging house In company with a
young womau , concluding with the state
ment that he had been Identified as the min
ister and Miss Overman as the woman. He
admitted that ho was afraid to meet such
an accusation at a time when the city was
greatly excited over the arrest of several
old men for debauching young girls. He
feared that the accusation would be accepted
as guilt when the populace was In fucli an
angry mood. Ho raid ho had gone to every
lodging house In the district where lie had
been accused of accompanying Miss Overman
and to him and a police detective each pro
prietor had said Dr. Brown had never been
seen In that vicinity. Brown then told how
lie had paid Mrs. Davidson $ 'iOO nnd taken
lier receipt for tbo money In order to pro
tect himself.

NEW YORK , March G. The transatlantic
steamship companies have Increased their
rates for third class , or steerage , prepaid
tickets. Tlio German lines have fixed the
new rate at $36.50 from Bremen or Ham
burg. The other lines are In proportion , nnd
dependent entirely on the port of embarka
tion. This Is the highest figure ever reached ,
veteran steamship men say. A prepaid ticket
represents ono purchased en this side ol
the Atlantic for the use of some passenger
who may bo coming hero from the other
side. The Increase In the German lines Is
more than $1.
Ono of the steamship agents , when asked
today why the Increase was made , said :
"There are several reasons ; one Is that this
will In all probability bo a record breaking
year for third class business. The steam
ship lines will have more demands for steer
age room than they can possibly handle.
Another reason Is that the restrictions placed
on Immigration , the $1 head tax , which we
have to pay the government , coupled with
the fact that wo are forced to return many
at our own expense , has made the trans
portation of Immigrants unprofitable at the
old rate. "

over n week It has been only through great
effort tlmt Commissioner Uvn llooth lias
pi evented llio How cry corps from seceding.
The loss of the hull of Cooper Institute Is
n great ono to tlio Salvation nrmy. .For over
two years It has held meetings there every
Sunday night. William M. Dodge leases It
by the year anil has lot them have It rent
free. Last week Commissioner Mva llooth
wrote to Mr. Dodge , asking him If the Sal-
vatlon army could have the use of the hall
next Sunday night as usual. Ho replied
that no ono could use Cooper Inptltuto Sun
day nights unless authorized by Ualllngtou
Uootli.
There Is a probability that Staff Captain
Watklns , the "Mother of the Uowcry Corps , "
will also bo upon the platform.
Commissioner llooth anil Colonel Nlcoll
Imvo tried , by every means In their power to
quell this spirit of rebellion ami to gain a
declaration of loyalty to the World Wide
Salvation army from Staff Captain Watklns ,
but without success.
Within a few days Commander llooth will
have formulated doflnlto plans to be pursued
In the management of his new organization
and will have settled upon a suitable name.
Its name will not bo "Christian Crusaders. "
This was the name which was chosen by the
foimer secedors from the Salvation army .
under Commissioner Moore. It has been I
definitely decided that the members shall I
wear a uniform , but there will bo no red In
thu costume. Commander llooth will make
Now York Ills headquarters. He has already
secured quarters In the lllblo house. 116
will take possession at once and conduct all
the business of the association from there on.
Ho will commission no olllccrs until hla
plan of action is definitely settled.
Commander Bootli states the step bo Is to
take In transferring the property ho holds
to the Salvation army meets with the. full
approval of tlio big subscribers. Colonel
Nlcoll has placed the following on tbo bulletin
board : "The statement that Miss Bootli , on
the transfer of the property to the Salvation
army , will take a second mortgage on it
and send the money to England Is a baseless
fabrication. "
