The Harvard boat, at three and onequarter miles, swerved a little out of the course towards the eastern Pile, where the eteimers. Itichard Peck an 1 Isabel were lying, but Criswain Uust did not seem to fear any trouble. The Isabel was Inside of the Richard I'eck and she backed out of the way as the Harvard boat nearel her. The moving of the steamer -caujed quite a swell, which interfered very materially with the Harvard shell and a man in a canoe came very close to the college men's oars while they were pulling through the churning waters. They were nix lengths behind at the beginning of the last half mile in the race and showed signs of the wear and tear of the race. The Vale men. however, hit up their stroke from this point and rapidly pained another length by their Increase! efforts. The Harvard crew hel 1 on plucklly, but they were outclassed. The Yale men, with each movement of their cars, seemed to get further aheai and. amid the flrinpr of cannon, blowing of whistles and cheers of the spectators, which made a perfect pandemonium, the New Haven oarsmen passed the winning flag easy winners by nearly ten lengths. Just as the winning crew were crossing the line, a boat containing a man and two girls, crossed the bow of the Yale shell and what mlsht have been a serious accident, was averted by a hair's breadth. The Yale boys did not Blacken their stroKe after the race was won, but continued rowing at a good clip unicr the bis bridge, each one of the man sitting upright nnl showing, no bail effects of their arduous task.

3IIU CHOKER DEXIKS JOCKEY SIMMS KILLED A HOUSE. False Cfcnrsje Iy Jerome K. Jerome and Editor Lnbouchere London Sou to Be Sued for JfoO.OOO. LONDON, June 23. If certain reports turn out to be correct, and there 3eems to be no good reason for doubting them, Mr. Richard Croker's colored Jockey, Willie Simms, is liable to find himself In the hottest kind of hot weather. Simms has been abusing himself considerably at Newmarket and on Monday, June 17, he wagered he would drive a trotter from Newmarket to Cambridge and return within an hour, a total distance of about twenty-six miles. Simms started in a sulky with a companion and made Cambridge in quick tme. But when nearing Newmarket on the return trip the horse dropped dead, and i: Is probable that Simms will be arrested .ind most severely punished as a result o! an investigation into the affair which the o facers of the Royal Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals began to-day. A special agent was dispatched to Newmarket this afternoon with instructions to thoroughly investigate the story of Slmms's drive to Cambridge and If the story ox cruelty to the trotter is proven, a warrant for the jockey's arrest will be issued. The officer has also been Instructed to tind out If the companion of Simms in his drive was Mr. Croker himself, and if this should turn out to be the cusc there may be serious trouble in store for Mr. Croker as well as for Simms. The action of the R. S. P. C. A. was due to Jerome K. Jerome and Mr. Labouchere. The latter says in Truth: "After reading an account of the performance I expeciea to announce that Simms had brought an action for libel or had been fined tiiu heaviest penalty for such diabolical conduct. No punishment Is too bad for a man who would flog a horse to death and I would cheerfully see fe'lmms flogged along -the high road and made to run until he dropped dead." Mr. Labouchere's article concludes with calling on the association to thoroughly investigate the matter. Mr. Jerome, in a newspaper to-day, writes that he had sent the details of the affair to the R. S. P. C. A., adding: 'Imms is a half caste who has come to England for a pure gambling speculation. He is employed by Messrs. Croker and Dwyer, concerning whom it is sulflcient to remark that Mr. Croker was once prominently connectea with that gang of rascality, Tammany Hall." Mr. Croker was not in London to-day, but the reporter was informed that the story was substantially true, except that there was no cruelty to the horse. It was added that the horse belonged to Mr. Croker, was one of the last batch to arrive from Litchfield, and its death is attributed to lack of condition and not to overdriving on the part of Simms. Richard Croker returned to town thLs evening, and was Indignant when he learned of the publication in to-day's Sun and. Truth. Jfckey Simms will sue the Sun for JIO.OO) damages. Mr. Croker has addressed the following letter to Henry Labouchere, the editor of Truth: "Appreciating the world-wide reputation you have for fairness. I am surprised at the paragraph In the present is.ue of Truth with reference to Jockey Simms having driven a horse to death. As the owner of the horse, permit mo to state the facts. You quote from the Sun a statement entirely erroneous. Simms did not drive the horse on that occasion. I drove him, and there was no wager. Simms drove another horse Into CambriJge at the same time, both being my property. We left Newmarket at 9:30 a m. and reached Cambridge at 10:35 o'clock, the distance being about thirteen or fourteen miles. The horse that died was driven back towards Newmarket in a walk, dying en route. On the way to Cambridge the animal slipped a shoe, and I think a piece of flint caught In the hoof, causing lockjaw. The horse was re-shod at Cambridge, and at that time showed no signs of approaching death. He was a good horse, equal to the task of traveling the distance from Newmarket to Cambridge In much better time, if forced. The horse's record In America was 2:13Vi for a mile. Simms was unaware of the publication in the Sun until Truth brought it to his attention." AN UNTUMSIIKD CRIME. Jfo One Likely to lie Convicted of Lynching Ilnrrett Scott. BUTTE. Neb., June 23.

WHISKY TRl'ST TO IIK CALLED THE AMERICAN DISTILLERY COMPANY. Ileorfcnnlzntlon Committee Causen Surprise by Applying: for n Charter Under the Laws of Illinois. CHICAGO. June 28. The reorganization committee of the Whisky Trust made a wholly unexpected move to-day by applying for an Illinois charter for the new corporation, which Is to take over and operate the seventeen active plants of the old distilling and cattle feeding company. Application for leave to Incorporate was sent to Springfield to-day. The name of the new company Is to be the American Distillery Company. The object for which it is formed, the application says, is to engage in and carry on a general distilling, redistilling 'and rectifying business. The capital stock is fixed at $35,000,000 of which $7,000,0000 shall be preferred and the rst common. Chicago is given as the location of the principal office. The duration of the corporation Is to be nine years. It has been expected all along that the new corporation which Is to carry on the distilling business would be formed under tho laws of New Jersey or West Virginia, which are more liberal than those of Illinois. Moran, Kraus & Mayer, attorneys for the reorganization committee, have, however, given an opinion that the new company can operate under the Illinois law and with an Illinois charter. They point out that the Supreme Court In its recent decision rendered judgment of ouster against the Distilling and Cattle Feeding Company because, first, it was the successor of the old trust, the form of organization merely having been changed while the old officers and tne directors continued the old business under a new name and. second, because it had acquired seventy distilleries that It did not need in carrying out the business naaied in its charter. Its acquisition of these extra distilleries ani their dismantlements showed that the company was trying to control the market. The lawyers say the new company will be free from both these objections; that it is not the successor of the old trust either in respect of personr.l or business methods and it will buy and operate only seventeen distilleries which are necessary to the legitimate carrying out of Its business purposes. The order of sale has been ready for some time, it is understood, and will soon be presented in court. One reason for to-day's move is that a company is needed to take title to the properties to be sold. Whisky Business Depressed. riTTSBURG, June 28. Before July 10 all the distilleries in the nttsburg district will be shut down for periods of from two to six months. There Is a depression in the whisky business, and the suspension will be one of unusual duration. There are forty-eight distilleries In the Pittsburg dls'trlct, and all of these will be closed before the date mentioned. About ten will start up in September, and the rest will start between that time and the first of the year. At the present time there Is a greater amount of whisky in the warehouses and store rooms of the distilleries than was ever before known. The cause given by the distillers for the decrease In consumption Is that they are now feeling the hard times that the country has just recovered from. FITZSIMMONS 0-N TRIAL. Jury Finally Selected antl Taking of Testimony Begun. SYRACUSE, N. Y., June 28. After three days effort a jury has been secured for the trial of "Bob" Fitzsimmons on the charge of manslaughter in the first degree in the killing of his sparring partner, "Con" Rlordan, in an exhibition in this city. In the selection of the Jury the prosecution objected to all talesmen examined who held opinions on the case; who favored athletic sports or who were of Irish extraction. The defense objected to church members. District Attorney Shove stated the case for the prosecution. For the defense Mr. House made a motion that the district attorney elect upon which of the four counts in the indictment he would try the case. The motion was denied. Then Mr. House moved to dismiss each count separately. Each motion was overruled and exceptions taken. Editor Gurney S. Lapham. the first witness for the people, sajd he thought the fatal blow was a powerful one. and he had an Idea that Fitzsimmons struck Rlordan on the point of the chin. Attorney Edgar N. Wilson testified that the men sparred with big gloves and Riordan was apparently the aggressor. He could not say where the fatal blow was delivered, as the glove was large enough to cover a man's face. He had seen Fftzsimmons box twice before, and thl3 was the tamest exhibition of them all. The witnesses called subsequent to Mr. Wilson were mainly newspaper men who testified to Interviews they had with Fitzsimmons after Riordan was struck. In these Interviews he said: "Rlordan is drunk as a bloody tick." No damaging evidence to the defense was brought out either on the direct or indirect examination before court adjourned.

WITH A BASEBALL BAT. Ex-Doorkeeper of the National House Killed In VlrKlnla. WASHINGTON, June 2S.-Jan:es A.

Berry has not been arrested, but it is understood he will give himself up to the police. STEWART HAS A NEW IDEA. The Demonetization of Sliver Han Reduced the Number of Marriages. Washington Special. Senator Stewart, of Nevada, advances the proposition that the demonetization cf silver will not only reduce the number of marriages In the future, but that it hus already done so to an alarming extent! "The reason," tho Senator says, "is obvious. From the landing at Jamestown until fifteen years ago the only questions atked of a young man proposing marriage were, 'Is he honest, industrious, intelligent, end of good character?' If these were alllrmatlvely answered, the consent of the parents was ordinarily given. The question now Is, 'Has the young man a fixed income?' The possibility of his making a' living for himself and family by his industry is regarded as too remote for consideration." "Why U this? Are not young men succeeding to-day In business enterprises as well as In the past?" "Not at all. There is not one succeeding to-day where one hundred succeeded half a century ago. You ask the cause? it i3 due to falling prices. If a man is in business he is unable to dispose of the fruits of his labor to advantage. On the contrary, the more he struggles and engages in bur,tn-;s, the more continually do prices fall. 'Thousands of men are renting farms to-day who were owners some years ago and who were forced to abandon the position c? owners because of their inability to r.ay taxes. The few who deal In money are the only ones who are now able to marry and support wives." "What becomes of those who cannot afford to marry7v5' -. "They live," replied the Senator, grimly, "on their parents, or go into servitude. Women are seeking employment in stores, as typewriters, and as upper servants. They must do , something; they can't afford to marry." "What will be the effect of this upon our population?" "The effect will be to reduce population. The census of 1830 showed a falling off in the increase of our population, and the census of 1900 will accentuate this decrease. The number of marriages has decreased, approximately, from 25 to 40 per cent, during the last five years. The press, the banks and the railways have formed a combination in support of the gold dollar. The press will only publish the gold side of the question; the banks furnish the money to assist them and the railways carry their people to conventions free of charge. Our fight, in the face of such opposition, J3 a fearfully one-sided one. The Southern people are overwhelmingly favorable to the white metal. Yet already the influence of the gold standard is seen in that section. Quite recently . they have gained control of the Nashville American, the Birmingham Age-Herald and ten or a dozen other papers. This shows that they are beginning an active propaganda In the South, the end of which no man can foresee." "Why don't the silver people commence a similar propaganda In the East?" To do this requires time and money and a friendly press. Unfortunately, we possess neither." "What will be the effect upon the country of the election of a President opposed to the free coinage of silver?" "Widespread ruin and destruction, and the decay of civilization."

BRAVE DEFENSE OF SA GERO.M3IO n SPANISH SOLDIERS. Detnlls of the Burning of the Place hy Maximo Gomes nnd Surrender of the Troops. HAVANA, June S. The facts about the raid and the burning of San Geronlmo, news of which was cabled on Wednesday, as , they are learned in more detail, are found to be of importance. San Geronlmo Js the most flourishing village in the prov ince of Puerto Principe. About 5 o'clock in the evening Maximo Gomez appeared near San Geronimo . at the head of 1.5C0 men. He sent to the commander of the village, saying that he must surrender or run the risk of being killed, either by bullets or fire. The Spanish commander. Lieutenant Laborda, tore the note to pieces, replying: ... "Tell him to tome at once and do what he pleases; that a Spaniard wlU never surrender." Throughout the night their men waited to be attacked. The families of citizens, aware of Gomez's presence In the neighborhood, left the town, seeking shelter in the Guajamal hacienda, at a distance of three rniles. Meanwhile the rain was falling in torrents. The insurgents allowed the women and children of the families to pass out of the city, but held the men Inside. At sunrise Gomez ordered the Mayor of the town to tell the Spanish lieutenant that he had the town surrounded, and that he must surrender Immediately. AfterWards the Mayor, returned, saying: "Under, no circumstances wdll he surrender." Gomez then gave an order for four hundred of' his cavalry to dismount and attack the place. At the same time they advanced toward the town and ordered their prisoners to set fire to the nearest houses. Gomez was heard to say: "That officer is a brave rnan. He will not surrender In spite of' shooting and fire." He then commanded that the whole town should be burned. The fire Increased rapidly through the town, and the fort in which the garrison was quartered was already burning. The troops kept firing until suffocated by the smoke, when the Mayor lifted a white flag and the Insurgents' bugle gave the signal to stop firing. Lieutenant Labourda, a lieutenant of guerillas, fifty soldiers of the garrison and twenty-two guerrillas came forward and agreeing with Gomez as to the terms of the surrender, delivered their arms and ammunition. The Marquis of Santa Lucia and Maximo Gomez embraced Lieutenant Labourda, saying to him: "You can shout 'Viva Espana,' because you are a worthy defender of her." The officers and soldiers with tears in their eyes, re vealed in their faces the anguish they felt at their surrender, which they consented to. although quite haughtily. But it would have been a mad enterprise to attempt to defend themselves against an army twenty times as numerous as themselves. A few hours afterwards nothing was left cf San Geronlmo but smoldering ashes. It is given out here . that the los9 4n the engagement between the insurgents, commanded by Gomez, and a company of guerrillas, commanded by Aguerro, was. on the part of the Spaniards, fourteen killed and eight wounded, while of the insurgents It is said that nineteen were killed and left on the field, while the band retreated with their wounded. Thirty-seven of the guerrillas went to the town of Las Yegas and twenty-one went to San Geronimo. News received at Puerto Principe, capital of the province of that name, from the Insurgent camp south of that place, shows that the insurgents acknowledge a loss of nineteen men killed In the recent attack upon Alta Gracia, situated about twentyfive kilometers from Puerto Principe on the railroad between that place and Nuevltas. Captain Costa, commanding a detachment of about forty soldiers, has surprised th insurgent band commanded by Basillo Guerra at Afiuadita near SahctP Esplrltu, province of Santa Clara. At the first volley from the troops the Insurgents lied in all directions, leaving one man dead and four seriously wounded on the field. Several young men, who had joined the insurgents and who have surrendered to the authorities of Santiago, complain of ths ill treatment to which they have ben subjected by the insurgent leaders. Lieutenant Iluise, with twenty men. has had an encounter with a band of Insurgents at Seburucal. One insurgent was - killed and on the side of the troops a sergeant was wounded. President Mnrtl's Sueeessor. PHILADELPHIA, June 28.-Vord was received In this city to-day from Cuba to the effect that General Bartholomew Maso In all probability had been elected provisional President of the republic of Cuba, ' in place of the late President Marti. The election for President was begun on June 23 and ended to-day. A vote was taken by the men in the field and forwarded to General Gomez as fast as the balloting was completed. Up until the time the news was sent from Cuba it was learned that a practically unanimous vote was being cast for General Maso. Marti, prior to his departure for Cuba, was also the head of the Cuban revolutionary party in this country, with the title of "delegate." His death, therefore, necessitated an election to fill that vacancy. To accomplish this, a convention will be held in New York on July 10, at which time there will be fifty-two delegates r resent from all parts of the United States, n addition to the election of a delegate, this convention will also provide for the creating of a loan to aid the insurgents. It is expected that Senor Thomas Kstralda Palma, a son of the President of Cuba during the former revolution, will be placed at the head of the party. Fake Story Exploded. NEW ORLEANS, June 28. Ex-Commodore V. A. Cordon, of the Southern Yacht Club, received a cable dispatch yesterday from attorneys in Havana stating that the yacht Nepenthe had been seized by the Spanish authorities, and that her owners, George Agar and Bishop Dudley, have been imprisoned. Both cf these gentlemen are prominent in social and business circles, being members of the Cotton and Sugar Exchange. The Nepenthe left here a few days ago on a cruise along the Florida coast and across to Cuba. It is said that the yacht was overhauled by a Spanish gunboat and towed into Havana. HAVANA, June 28. Inquiries made here by the representatives of the Associated Press showthere is no truth In the story of the capture of the American yacht Nerenthe by a Spanish war ship and the imprisonment of those on board. The Case of the Pearl. KINGSTON, Jamaica, June 23. It has been ascertained that the Cuban filibuster vessel Pearl, which was vainly searched by the British war ship Tartar three days before her seizure by the authorities of Port Maria for carrying arms and ammunition to the Insurgents, is owned by Charles Love, a native of Haytl, and a resident of Nassau, N. B. Revelations In connection with the seizure of the Pearl implicate Lascelles and Demercado, and also Levy, a Jamaica legislator. The Cuban passengers of the Pearl escaped, but the captain is in custdy. The customs otllcials have a clew to those interested In the expedition In the shape of ten marked cases. Says Mnrtl Is ot Dead. PORTLAND, Me., June 28. A letter received to-day by Joseph C. Cantwell, from Captain Louis Bernhardt, of the Cuban insurgents, bears the information that last month five thousand rifles and a million cartridges were shipped from New York by Cuban swmpathizers and successfully landed on the island. Bernhardt further states th?t General Marti was not killed by the Spanish troops, as has been reported, nor was he assassinated by an insurgent traitor, who escaped. Marti is not dead, but is still at the head of his troops. The Cubans have possession of the entire southern end of the island and Maceo has issued clearance papers to many cutward-bound vessels.

CONSTANTINOPLE. June 28.-Represen-tatlves of the powers are continuing their efforts to induce the Turkish government to give an explicit reply to the note of the powers outlining the reforms demanded for Armenia, and the foreign envoys are Indignant at the delay. The Turkish Minister for Foreign Affairs claims to bo unable to furnish the envoys with Information as to which points of the plans of the powers the Turkish government is desirous of further discussion, and it Is thought probable that this dilatory course may result in causing the powers to address another note to the Turkish government, li which they will request a definite reply within a fixed time to the demands already made. The British Mediterranean squadron left Alexandretta on Tuesday and steamed north. The Turkish government has received news of the defeat of two Insurgent bands in Macedonia. Steps have been taken by the Porte to suppress all attempts at revolt, but it Is thought the rebellion will spread to all parts of Macedonia, and eventually cause action upon the part of the powers.

Newspaper readers have a vague recollection of seeing a good many dispatches from Idaho two years apo about serious troubles in the Coeur d Alene mines. A dispute arose between the employers and the workmen, and the latter abandoned their places. New men were easily found who were ready to acctpt the terms offered, and then there were the usual troubles, with threats and violence. The controversy ran on for some time, and at last the dispatches ceased to mention the matter. People at the East supposed that It had been nettled in the usual way, by the restoration of order and the resumption of work. It appears, however, that tfce mines have been closed during these two years, and a great Industry has been paralyzed, because tho State authorities were unable to rrotect men who wished to work against other men who forbade any one to work under a certain scale of prices, nnd threatened to burn, blow up and destroy the property of owners, and to malm and kill workmen if the prohibition were disregarded. The explanation is that Idaho lacks tho public sentiment to command the restoration of order and the militia to enforce the command. It Is really nothing but an aggregation of a few thousand lawless voters. Yet this is one of the States which insist that the government reverse its financial policy for their benefit. A Victorious Idea. New York Sun. It was after the close of the war that Governor Morton, of Indiana, dead long ago, made a ppecch In w hich he fpoke thu?: "The idea that we are a nation. undivlJed and Indivisible, should be a plank In tho platform of every party. It should be the political North Star by which every political manager should steer his bark. It rhould be the central Idea of American politics, and every child should be, as it were, vaccinated with this Uea." How rapid has been the advance of this idea, and bow complete Is its victory! It has taken, full possession of the American, soul since the war. It is unchallenged. It Is the central idea of American politics. It may yet serve a -purpose in a party platform, but it is not needed there as formerly if was. It is the political North Star by which every political manaer steers his bark. Every child is, bo to speak, vaccinated with it. No man woull be such a fool as to call it into question. Thus rapidly may a great and beneficent Idea grow into the life and thought of all the people of a country. This Nation is indivisible, and it was through the welding forces of the war that it became ro. Even the men who fought against the Union are among the truest and the sincerest of its supporters. The American Union and the American flag forever more! Mr. Carter Talks to New Yorkers. NEW YORK. June 28. Chairman Tfiomas H. Carter, of the Republican national committee and Senator Frederick W. Dubois, of Idaho, have arrived from Washington. Chairman Carter may or may not await the arrival of Chairman Manley, of the Republican national executive committee, before going back to Montana. Manley Is expected to sail for Liverpool next week. After chairman Manley gets back: there is likely to be a meeting of the executive committee, and perhaps of the entire national committee. Chairman Carter told his followers in this cif. that the refusal of the Cleveland convention to deClare for a single standard assured to the Republicans the two United States Senators from Utah. This would give the Republicans a majority In the new Senate and would enable them to organize it without making deals with the Democrats or Populists. , Cnroiu-fiKrmcnt for the Klrkrr, Chicago Record.
