Bii.J : Omaha did
notvin today's
game because Presi
dent -Stout would
not lot his pitchers
exert themselves.
Ho cave all throe n
brlof trial , while the
Kansas City manage -
_ ago m out pitched
through the game. From tbo out-
tot the Omnhiis were favorites.
The day was inw nnd bad , but n goodly
crowd was out to see the ilrat game of the
Boason. On the field the flno team from
Omaha presented n splendid iippouranco , al
though they showed n lack of practice. The
performance of Collopy nt third base was
eploudld , showing him up well in his
nil around advantages. Sbclbeck it short
showed himself to bo n very pretty plnyor ,
accepting nil of his chances with n grace
that captured the spectators. Hayes , the
catcher , found it too cold for peed work , al
though his perforraar.co was qulto equal to
Hint of the Kansas City man. Phenomenal
Kelly In leftflo'ld did cot have much to do ,
Init 'ho displayed on activity tnat was very
pleasing.
The battln ? of the team was peed nnd the
bases wcro all run exceptionally well. Gllks
In center Hold did soico very line work on
nil tbo opportunities offered. President Stout
is very much pleased with tbonhowlng made
lioro by his team , and considers It very Mat
tering In view of thu lack of pr.ietlco of bis
team nnd the chilly atmosphere ot today.
The Omabas began the game with Darby
in the box. Ho officiated for live Inntncs ,
und nltbuuch ho did not oxoit himself the
Cowboys only made seven hits. VicKery
throw in for three Innings und Handlboo
went In in the ninth inning.
It was the ( list appearance of the Cowboys
In anything bearing a resemblance to n real
contest , and they created quito n favorable
impression. Eddie Eltoljorg , who has been
In trnininn for two weeks , was at his best
and pitched his hardest. A local man acted
ns umpire. Alany of his decisions were yory
Bauswinc , but tbo clubs suffered about
equally. Score :

LOXPOX , April 9. The annual boat race
between loams representing tbo Oxford and
Cambridge universities lo take place on the
Thames championship course , from Putney
to Morto Cake , took place at noon today , and
for the twenty-sixth tlmo since the Inaugura
tion of thcsn English college contests the
Oxford crow passed the winning line ahead
of their opponents.
The summer weather thnt has prevailed in
the vicinity of the course for the past week
continued today , and tbo banks of the Thames
were crownod.wlth an unprecedented crowd.
The crows were made up as follows :
Cambridge E. W. Lord ( bow ) , S. C.
Neil , E. T. Fison , W. Lundaiiio , G. C. ICorr ,
C. T. Fogg-Elliott , G. Elln , G. Franklin
( stroke ) , J. V. Braddon ( cox ) .
Oxford U. B. Cotton ( bow ) , J. A. Ford ,
W. A , Hewott , F. E. Uobesonf. . Nickails ,
W. A. L. Fletcher , K. P. Prowe , C. Al. Pit
man ( stroke ) , J. P. Hey wood ( coxswain ) .
A gennrol east wind wns then blowing
which had the effect of rendering the Surrey
side of the river some what choppy , while iho
Middlesex sldo was sheltered from tno breeze
nnd the water was therefore smooth. Oxford
chose the Middlesex side , thus galling Iho
advantage ot the smoother walor and moro
of Iho bunolit of the moderate wind during
the last portion of the journey. Alldway the
wind was fair for both crows.
The Cambridge crow wcro the first to
outer their boat. They pulled to the stake
boat , being received with loud cheering ana
pvery token or ontuualasm. Three minutes
latertho Oxfords followed nnd thcro was u
repetition of Iho cheering and enthusiasm as
they puddled to the starting point. The ex
citement was Intense. Both crews were In
line condition aud everybody anticipated a
keen struggle.
Oiiiubrlilce I.Kil Well.
At exactly 12:10 : the starting signal , the
firing of a pistol , was plvon. Cambridge
took the water ilrst , pulling thirty-eight
ttrokos to the minute , nnd their boat jumped
to the front. Oxford started pulling thirty-
lima strokes. With Ibo perfect rythm of a
machine iho oars Mashed In and out of the
water , but strain and struggle as they
would , Oxford could not close tbo gap between
tweon themselves and Cambridge. The
light blues on the shore were wild with ex-
cltouiont and yelled encouraging words to
tbolr favorites. But the cheers and erica
fell on d af ears. Bending to their oars , the
Cambridge crow saw nothing but their op
ponents behind them , aud th > ) muscles of
their urms and backs roio and fell as the
Mnady atroko that kept them ahead was con-
ilnuod without a Haw. The Cambridge
crowd on the Putney pier on the Slur and
Garter nud Duke's Head and along the con.
, oroto wall on the opposite of the river
cheered and yelled , but in u Hash the boats
wont past them , almost Hying up stream.
At Clasporo boat bouse , about three fur
longs from the start , Cambridge was a quar
ter of a length Iu the lend , nud tbis advan.
luge was still retained as they passed Craven
Stops , about three furlongs further on , P s (
the Gass wharf , Hose bank , the Crabtrees
and the Malt house the position of the boats
won unchanged , but as they neatcd Hammer'
imlth brldga tbo faster and now strougoi
Rtroko of iho dark blues boRan to toll , nuii
they drew up to a level with their opponents
Oxford to thti Front ,
A few seconds later Oxford had issued th <
load and put a gap of three-fourths of i
length between herself and Cambridge. Botl
crows were well In tbo center of tbo river
Now oniued splendid bit of racing , but tbi
Oxford uecamoallghtly ragged , Cnmbrldet
was doing boiler and this raised the hopes o :
the JlKlH blues thronging the river banks
Tbo Oxfoidi , hoiYoviT , pulled themselves to
K lbernDd quickened their etroke and :
wagulCcunt uUptuy of raring followed.
bpurt followed itpurt , wbiln thu cpnctaton
theiUHdlvc * hoano in uttcuipU U
cheer on tbolrf avorltos , .Tust below the oil
mills , about two miles from the acquoduct ,
the Cambridge tonm hegnn to fall further
behind. When the boats reached Chicks-
wick Eyot , about two miles and a half frcm
the starting point , ttmy were very close to
tbo ahoro. Hero the coxswain ol tno Oxford
steered rather bndly but his crow still hold
their ndvnntngi * .
Cambildgo spurted manfully , but the pace
sot by Oxford wns lee much for them nnd
they fell to pieces. At Thornycrofts. just
beyond Chlckwlck Eyot'Oxford croiscd over
and took the CnnUbs' water , giving the lat
ter the bunolit of their wash. The Cam
bridge crow were too far tohind , however ,
for the wash to affect them.
Only n I'rorrsslon ,
The race now dttrciipratcd Into n proces
sion , .lust nbovo Thornycrofts Oxford was
fully three lengths ahead and nblo to In
crease. The Onntubs showed increased signs
of distress. Around tbo long bond at Barnes-
bridge , nbout three miles and llvo furlonps
from the start , Cambridge pulled thorasclves
tocothor and made n despsrato endeavor to
regain their lost ground. They were then
llvo lengths bnblnd nud their efforts were
useless. The Oxlords slackened their utroko
before leaching Alorto Lake , n short distance
from the winning line , nnd allowed their op
ponents to approach them.
Thou ensued an exciting race. The Can-
tabs , worn out by their struggle , braced
themselves for n final effort. Sturdily they
bent to their oars and jumped forward with
now impulses and lusty strokes , hut all was
of no avail. The dark blues pi ay oil with
their opponents nnd crossed the line tit the
Old Ship Inn by two lengths nnd n quarter.
Oxford's tlmo wns nineteen minutes nnd
Iwenty-onc seconds. The time is the best
over made over the present course ; the
best previous tlmo was nineteen minutes ,
thirty-five seconds , mndo by the Cambridge
crow'whon they won in 187IJ by three nnd
one-half lengths. It was In this rnco that the
sliding seats were llrst utlli/.ed by the uni
versity crows. The slowest llmo was In liOl ) ,
when onmbrldgo won by ono length to twenty
minutes tindt on seconds.
Comparing the form of men , the rngftod
rowing with round shoulders ot tbo cnnatnbs
were most practicable. The Oxford crow
seemed lo have returned to old tradlllon of
university form. They rowed with the steady
movement of n piece of machinery. The race
was n thorough contrast between university
and Thnms rowing Cambridge pulled like
the London eight , while Oxford rowed in
the old poker back fashion. Oxford finished
in as perfect form ns when they begun , but
thcro was u lot of splashing nnd rolling In
the Cautbas' boat ,

the question of bt'j1j ' ithdrawnl by this gov-
crnuiont out of thjq < iiiestlou , nnd admits tbo
right of China ta:6bjuct : to any minister , but
the comity of natlonl requires that it should
not bo done witliblifr&unielont | rousou. The
reason assigned by China was that
It was he-cause of the unfriendly ut-
titudo of Blair toward China as
a senator during 1)19 ) pendency ol the Chinese
exclusion act is not well taken , us the record
shows that ho was respectful throughout
toward China and lun toward her people ,
Thu objection that ho cast his vote In favor
of thu mil was In reality an objection to any
incmboi of concrusb who votes lor any moiis
lire objectionable to China. This act U now
a supreme law and commands the obedience
of all uituuns , and any person appointed
minister to China U bound to obsnrvo and as
sist In Its execution. This objection to Blair
cannot therefore , bo taken to account
in the appointing of another appointee.
The objection , moreover , is Illogical , us the
act hot boon in force for throe ymrs without
the discovery of It as a bar to Ibo reception
of uii envoy from this government. Don by

The rise In the river at Cairo approaches
the estimated rise of the next two days of

throe foot by April II ; nt Helena , Ark. , U

The scn on was generally l.ito In the west

Ing conditions , draught , dlfllculty in plowing
lumpy soil , slow permlnntlon nnd tin imper

out return Is n i eduction ol 4.1 points. Winter -
tor protection by snow was qulto general In

In Pennsylvania the covering vuis loss

most needed.
In Michigan Uioro wns n fair dogrooof pro
tection , especially in the sovurost weather.
In Ohio , Indiana and Illinois the snow
covorihg was not continuous or heavy , In
some places very light and partial , In others
better than for years.
In Missouri nud Kansas thcro wns less
snow , but there wns some protection tit tbo

It la quite uniformly reported that the
winter was not very severe nnd was In many
sections nnld. Winter killing wns excep

iho soil as modifying the Injury by fioczlng.
Almiy correspondents report the crop im

improvement with favoaablo April weather.
The fact that the low condition is loss the re
sult of winter killing than of Into germina

material recuperation possible under favor

and harbor bill was reported to the house
today. The committee thinks the most Im
portnnt feature of thn bill is the extent it
cocsto in authorizing the secretary of war to
make contracts for the completion of more
important river nnd harbor Improvements.
The departure from the old driblet system of
appropriations wns lound to work so well
that the committee determined to apply it on

The report of the committee on ways nnd

the house today by Mr. bhlvoly of Indiana.
The present law , it says , subjects every
American industry which uses tin plato to

posed measure is a proposition to release
those industries from such exactions. Tbo
distinction in principle between the two is
tbo distinction between a demand by ono
citizen that ho is licensed to tuko that which
is not his own , aim the petition of another
citizen that ho be pcimitted to keep what is
his own. Tbo AIcKlnloy act granted privil

is not granted to American industries , to
which they are unquestionably entitled.

today that his confidence operations cover a
much wider aud moro ambitious arena than
was at first supposed. His story to
people who might bo supposed to have
personal acquaintance with Gunter is that
ho was an only brother of the author and was
himi-olf a dramatist , but owing to the machi
nations of a wicked partner his succosgfu
tour of Australia with his own play came to
"
sudden grief , therefore no Unas "himself pen
niless in n strange city. Among his latest
victims are Kob rt McClure , llobert Barr ,
Lulto Sharp and Florence Wardentho novel
ist. In each case , howovrr , the sum ob
tained , owing to a suspicion excited by his
manner , was smaller than it otherwise would
bate been. Ho skillfully adopted the means
to the end and , shedding his Gnu-
tor skin , called upon the editor and
yachtsman in the character of HerrosholT.
His weak eyes , which nro family character
istics , helped the Impersonation. Hero ho
obtained an introduction to leading jacht
brokers , one of whom entertained him nt the
Junior Carltun club , whore after n liberal
flow of wlno ho bpcame boisterous und at
tempted to bieak a dinner service. Thit
convinced the ynchtinir niaii that something
was wrong in Herrcslioff's composition aud
when the swindler called the next day bo
was shown the door. Until the police cap-
Uro him ho will endeavor to add luster to
