Nevertheless, the Cologne Volks Zeitung admits that “the impudence of the United States” is suc- ceeding brilliantly, and that Europe is al- ready accustoming itself to the idea of the tutelage of the United States in South America. The Cologne Volks Zeitung concludes by saying: “Must Germany really ask Washington's permission to collect 3,000,- from Venezuela? Must we pocket all sorts of warnings and con- eealed threats?’ ? HRE A | SPAIN TO MAXKE A PLEA. Venezuela Will Try for a Reconcila- tion With France. PARIS, Dec. 2i—Venezuela having falled last year in her attempt to renew diplomatic relations with France, even after the good offices of the United States had been invoked to assist in the . has at last got the Spanish Government to instruct the Spanish Em- bassador in Paris to plead her cause.

The basis of the proposals js as follows Arrangement of the French claims aris- ing out of the revolutions of 1892, 1898, 1899, 1900 and 1901, within a period which shall not exceed one year, Venezuela demands that in future France, like Italy, shall recognize the Venezuelan courts as having jurisdictién to decide I'rance’s claims and that the duties imposed on Venezuelan coffee im- ported into Irance shall be removed, The French Government intends, if its conditions are not accepted soon, to im- pose prohibitive import duties on Vene- zuelan cocoa, 74 per cent of the crop of which iz consumed by this country, If this measure were to be put into effect it would ruin Venezuela, which would not know where to place cocoa. The Caracas Chamber of Commerce, realizing the dan- ger, has written to the Chambers of Com- merce at Havre, Bordeaux gnd Marseilles to the effect that it is endéavoring to in- duce the Government of. Venezuela to lis- ten to reason in order that an under- standing may be arrived at, It is said that Cecilio Castro, who has been already charged with a diplomatic and financial mission in France, which | was fax from sugcessful, will leave Car- cas December 28 in order to submit the {nemorflndum revised by President Cas- 0. The French Government is determined not to be lenient, having, five years ago, accepted a protocol signed by General Peitri, the authorized representative of Venezuela, which was afterward refused by the Government of Venezuela. It is considered at the French Foreign Office that Senor Castro's voyage will be useless unless he takes with him a document signed by President Castro, which would become a protocol and would have to be sive article on Germany's attitude to- |laid the proposals of Venezuela before accepted by the Venezuelan Congress be- ward the Monroe that ‘ the French Government and they will | fore the French Government ratified it.

The feat is accomplished by com- ing up under a sunken barrel. ‘The best previous achievement of the kind was ours and thirty minutes. Sarcho is the diver whose exploits in exploring the wreck of the battleship Maine attracted attention in the harbor of Havana. ——————— Make Attack on the Wrong Man. John Redmond, employed at the Union Iron Works, was attacked at .an early hour yesterday morning on Potrero ave- nue by two men who mistook him for u scab. ‘In the fight that followed Redmond knocked out his two assauants, and sent one of them, James McNamara, to the Emergency Hospital with a broken leg.

Michigan has always enjoved a wealth of football material second to none in the country, and has invariably turned_out strong ‘and formidable teams. In the Mid- dle West she has always held a place in the front rank among the colleges, and | has exerted wide influence in popularizing football. The members of the Michigan party reg- istered at the Palace are: Snow, Weeks, Sweeley, Redden, Shorts, Graver, Hesl?n, Gregory, Wilson, Hernstein, McGug§ n, tz- patrick, Manager Baird, Coach Yost, Rob- inson, Crafts and Eyersman. The visitors will be entertained at din- ner to-night at the California Hotel, cov- ers being laid for fifty. It is expected that the banquets and the various changes of climate through which the men are pass- ing will play havoc with their condition, They expect a week at Pasadena to put them on edge for the New Years day game, however. COACH SIMPSON RETURNS. Berkeley Football Leader Present at Many Big Games. Dr. Frank Simpson, head football coach of the Unlversity of California, has re- turned from his wedding trip through the East. He reached the East during the height of the football season and saw (ke majority of the big games. On the Monday after reaching New York Dr. Simpson saw Columbla practice, On Tuesday he saw Yale practice. Wea- nesday he was present when West Point played the Saturday he was one of the 37,000 Specta- saw Harvard defeat Yale, 22 “Harvard was in a class by herself th year.” said Dr. Simpson yesterday. *She had the heaviest team in the East and the best material. Her players were all well trained. Yale’s men were out of condi- tion. Captain Gould said their method | was to play them until they rounded back into condition, a system of which 1 do not_approve. “‘Harvard took Yale's tackleback play of 1900, with which she defeated = the former by a score of 28-0, and revised and changed it, making it more effective. This play “helped defeat Yale. Harvard had another play which was both pretty and effective. At the kickoff her forwards run back toward their own goal to meet the runner. Enecircling him they advanced | the ball up the field. “The West Point-Annapolis game was | a brilliant spectacle, as the army and navy men among thé spectators were in | full uniform. The day was an ideal one for football. The game was a close onc, Annapolis putting up a great game in the second half. “I found but little difference between | the game as played in the East and on | this coast. 1 was afforded every oppor: | tunity of noting their methods of piay | and of coaching, as I was on the field be- | games. | hind the teams while they tice and on the side were at prac- lines during the At some of the colleges there was a noticeable lack of that spirit with which the students at the University of Califor nia support their players. SEEK A NEW OWNER FOR NEW YORK BASEBALL CLUB Spalding Wishes E. B. Talcott, a Former Stockholder, to Purchase Freedman’s Interest in Club. WASHINGTON, Dec. 24.—A. G. Spald- ing, who was elected president, secretary and treasurer of the National Baseball League by a faction of_that organization at its last meeting in New York, had a conference to-day with Edward B. Tal- cott, one of the former stockholders in the New York club. The object of the conference was to induce Mr. Talcott to resume his connection with the latter or- ganization and to endeavor, if possible, to purchase the interests of President Freedman. Mr. Spalding said in his opin- ion nothing would so popularize the gam in New York as would the return of Mi Talcott to an active participation in the sport in that city. Mr, Talcott will take the matter under consideration. NEW YORK, Dec. 24.—Delancey Nicol attorney for Andrew J. Freedman of th New York Baseball Club, made public a letter tp-day replying to and commenting upon the document addressed to the Na: tional League clubs on Saturday last A. G. Spalding. The letter was addressed to the Boston, Cincinnati and St. Louis clubs and was as follows: ‘‘You have called my attention to a let- ter received this day by you from Mr. A. G. Spalding and have asked me what ef- fect, if any, it has upon the present cou- troversy. It seems to me that_the letter amounts to a withdrawal on Mr. A. G. Spalding’s part from the office of presi- dent-secretary-treasurer of the Natlonal League. He informs you that he ‘must refuse to act further as president-secr tary-treasurer of the National League,’ and goes on to say that it is ‘up to each club to do that which in its judgment may .seem best for its awn interests.’ This is in effect advice to the clubs to shift for themselves. Mr. Spalding was never elected president-secretary-treas. urer of the National League. His pre- tended election was entirely without au- thority. The courts have taken this view of it by issuing the injunction, and Mr. Spalding seems to have come to the same conclusion himself. Every act of a part of a National League by which it under- took to elect a president, director or other officer, in the absence of a majority of that body, was illegal and the persons who held their respective offices by such authority are open to the charge of usurpation of the functions of the office. “It does not seem to me necessary that vou should make any reply to Mr. Spai- ding’s communication of this morning. The status of the National League r mains the same as it was before the pre- tended election of Mr. Bpalding as presi- dent-secretary-treasurer.” New Year’s Day at Burlingame. President George Almer Newhall of the Burlingame Country Club has made the following announcement of sports and pastimes with which the members will open the new vear on Wednesday next: Members' golf handicap at eighteen holes, medal play (foursomes) for trophies offered by the club, will commence on the club links at 10 a. m.

Tommy Burns landed his first winner at the meeting in the seven furlong sell- ing affair. He had the mount on Edgardo, which was played down from 4 to 8 to & It took some hard urging to get the brown gelding to_the front, but at the finish he disposed of the 100 to 1 shot Bagdad hand- ily. Kitty Kelly, a well-backed one, took show honors, Following up this win Burns had the leg up on Decoy, favorite for the mile and a sixteenth run, and was never headed. Bullman succéeded in getting left at the post with Essence and old Cromwell downed Colonel Ballantyne a neck for the place. Figured an absolute certainty for the final sprint by the handicappers, Danger- ous Mald was fortunate to win. She passed Saul of Tarsus in the stretch and was then extended to the last pound to beat Matt Hogan a neck. Track Notes. After Pompino had won the third event, entered to be sold for $300, he was bid up to $700 by Tom Ryan, the Illinois turfman. Sam Judge, his owner, let the gelding go at that figure.
