The way the British sub ject there Is treated Is not only a menacn to them air , but Interferes wllh our prestlgo among Iho natives , who now regard the Doers , and not the British , as the paramount power. "Reside the breaches of the London con vention , the Transvaal Is flagrantly violat ing the equality that convention was In tended to secure.

"Four times since the grnntlns of Inde pendence we have been on the verge of war with the Transvaal. It is erroneous to say the British government wants war , but It Is equally erroneous to say that the gov ernment will draw back now that It has put Its hand to the plow. "It Is hoped the efforts now being made will lead to an amicable settlement , for Great Britain -only wants Justice , but them comes a time when patience can bo hardly distinguished from weakness , and moral pressure becomes a farce that cannot be continued without less of self-respect. I trust that time may never come In this In stance , but If It docs Britons will Insist upon the means to find a result essential to thn peace of South Africa. " The speech was warmly applauded. In re ply to a vote of thanks , Chamberlain ) said he felt strengthened and encouraged by tbclr copfldcliqernnd BUp'pojt' . He had ' ' spoken from the heart1''because he believed the empire was at a crtlcal turning point and' the whole world was watching to see how It would issue from the difficulty. "It Is my belief , " said he In closing , "that the country will show itself not unworthy of Its glorious history and traditions.

The vacation which President and iMrs. McKlnlcy have been enjoying here aa the guests of W. B. Plunkett Is at an end and tonight the train Is on its way to the nation's capital. The president returned to bis executive labors In remarkably fine health , but Mrs. McKlnlcy was not well , and It is on her account that the preBcjit stay was curtailed by two djiys. The closing day of 'theVisit was made not- ablf bya. . . nmer- vstn..ncccs. Twice 'the president spoke t6 ihe people "of Berkshire of the pleasure attending his visit and early in the day he had assisted In the ceremony of laying the cornerstone of what Is to be the largest cotton mill In western ' Massachusetts. Tha morning hours of the day were spent j quietly by the party In Mr. Plunkett's house. Just 'before noon the president and Mr. I i Plunkett went to the site of the new mill and there the cornerst'ofae was well and truly laid by the president. On return to the house lunch was served and a little later the president prepared for his trip to North Adams , where he was to witness a parade and take a carriage ride about the city. The president was met on Church street , North Adams , by Sanford post , Grand Army of the Republic , and a band. With his escort cert he was taken to a reviewing stand erected In Monument square , from which he saw a parade of school1 children aim ! citi zens. After the parade had passed Mayor Cady made an address of welcome to the president , to which the president replied. The departure of the president for WashIng - Ing tonight was Impressive. It was first arranged that the people shoul'd give him an enthusiastic send-off , but later it was considered best to let the farewell be as quiet as possible , on account of the condi tion of .Mrs. McKlnley. Shortly after dinner the presidential train pulled up In front of Mr. Plunkett's resi dence , where about 3,000 people bad as sembled. Commander Cole of Bayles post -mounted the rear platform of the train and requested the people not to cheer until Mrs. i.McKlnley had entered the train and the ( president bad addressed them. Company M of the Second regiment had been drawn upMn- double column , extending from Mr. Plunkctt's. gate to the train , and between the flics of the soldiers passed the i rarrlago containing Mr. and Mrs. McKlnley , | The latter looked quite ill and had tn be | assisted Into the train. . The people respected the request remark ably well and hardly a sound was uttered until the president appeared on the rear platform and addressing them Raid : "My fellow citizens , I urn always glad to como to Adams and always regret going away. I have como to like this people after my acquaintance with them nnd , whllo I go regretfully , I go with the hope of nn early visit among you again. I have noticed with great pleasure Ihe progress that has been made s'nce ' I first visited your llttln city seven years ago. I was hero then to participate In thn opening of one of your great mills and I rejoice In know Mint another nf like size was added a few years later. "It gives mo tincmnmon pleasure thin morning to participate In laying the corner | stone of still another which Is larger than I either of Its predecessors. T rejoice because ! It means more work nnd morn wages , means I happy hoinpR nnd happy firesides , which ' make n good community , make good citizens and make u good country. I am glad In have Ihe pleasure nf spending a few days with yru and It Is with great regret that I hid ynu all goodbye , wishing you every thing good. " i.\s the president finished speaking Com pany M gave three cheers for the president and Ihe people followed with three mnre. i Then the train marled , the president re maining on the rear platform , waving his hat and handkerchief until he was lost to sight.

The Pennsylvania stroke , while not as prettily rowpd as Cor nell's , had much more go In It and before the boats had gone ten lengths the Quakers had shoved their boat's nose ahead of the Ithacans. Cornell had dropped down to the. Courtney stroke of 33 to the minute , nnd although Inch by Inch the Quakers' boat was shoved to the front they never Increased during the mile. < 'an IK \o ( Ueurenneil. The enthusiastic rooters on the train kept predicting that the Cornclllans would let out the stroke as they ncarcd the finish and simply cat the Quakers up , but from a mere gain of inches In the first half mile the gain of the Pennsylvania boat became one of feet as they nearcd the mile mark. Twice the Cornclllans tried to reduce the 1'ead , but each time the Quakers responded and main tained the lead of one length which they had when they struck the bridge. It was here that a collision seemed al most Imminent. Both crews had steered rather badly at the start , angling In toward the shore , but had straightened out at the first quarter and given promise of running a very straight course. Just as they got under the shadow of the great 'bridge ' and when Pennsylvania had succeeded In ob j taining a lead nf almost a shell length , the j j ferry boat crossed the river and threw a j heavy swell. It was either 'because the Pennsylvania bow oar , who did the steering. ! felt thp effect of the swell and turned toward I i j the contour , or else lost his bearing that ' the shell turned almost directly toward Cornell , and to avoid a seemingly probable i collision the Cornell boat was turned away j alsoQuick - . , < - , ; - Quick as a flash PennsHvanl * 'r-straIshl- ' ened out again and'whCn they 'Cleared" the 1 great abutments It was seen they had' a lead ' over Cornell of fully a length and a quarter - | ter , there being clear water between the I i boats. From this point of the battle to : ' 1 the finish there was little material change , j unless It may have been at the mile and j three-quarters mark , where Cornell hit the § i stroke up tn 34 nnd started to close up the j i gap. ! I I Qnnlfcr * nonponil Hnllnndy. Rut the Quakers , who had been rowing from one. and a half to two strokes per minute faster than the Ithacans all through the race , seeing that Cornell was spurting , whipped their stroke to 36 and j crossed the line a 'winner by one length 1 and a , half in 11 minutes S 4-5 seconds , according - ' cording to several experts on the press car. | Mr. Fortmeyer. the official timekeeper on I the referee's boat , made It 11 minutes f ) j seconds , but the official time Is given out by the college timers was II minutes 12 seconds. Cnrnell finished , according to these figures , in 11 minutes 14 3-i ! seconds. The freshman race , which was started very promptly after the four-oared finish , was one of thn closest and most exciting races sepn on the river for years , the Co lumbia crew giving the Cornell crew a sharp nnd pretty fight for first place and making phenomenal tlmo considering the slowness of their stroke. At the sound of the pistol the crews got away In a bunch , 'but ' at the settling down of the stroke tn I the crew's usual style It was seen that j Cornell hid poked the pointed nose of Its | shell n. few feet ahead of the lino. For thu first half-mile the struggle was so exciting that the spectators arose on the press car and In the observation train nnd cheered for rach crew. Cornell was rowing n Inng , sweeping stroke nf 36 , while Pcnn- fivlvanla was rowing at the ratn nf 35. Columbia was rowing a phenomenal long strnke. .12 , the wnnder of all the pxperts nn thp train , fnr thp bnat wrnt alnng almost as fast as the Cornell boat. Ilnnln Cllnpr Toprdhpr. Close together the- three boats hung , but there wax something about the way the Cornell boat seemed to glldo over the water that made Columbia and Pennsylvania hearts , go down. As the crews reached thn mile mark , with the Cornell boat about n half- length out from the bunch , Columbia seemed to gain and there were shouts of approval as the nose nf the boat crept up. Hut the old Cornell form was there. Never did the stroke go above the 34 mark , and thn speed came from Increased power In the Btrokr. Columbia was steady In Its stroke , only bitting It up to 35 , but the boat began to lot > e after the mile was passed nnd soon Cornell had a lead of a clear length. Pennsylvania was In ( tie meantime EUcrlng erratically nt the mile mark , going out of the t-ourso badly. This way It lost speed , and although the crew pulled a stout elrokc and did It cleanly , they dropped behind rapidly , tnn nose nf their boat as they came under HIP. bridge bring Just even wllh the stern of the Columbia * boat. Thn nice after the mile nnd a half point wai pu srd was between Columbia and Cornell , with snmo chance for Columbia If they worked hard. Iliin Urn I'll 11 to llrnr. Just after paining that point the Penn sylvania boat seemed to lose power and dropped rapidly astern as the Columbia stroke hit It up to 34 In an en deavor t i close up Ihe gap between Cornell's boat nnd theirs. Cnrnell rraponded with a stroke of 36 , and Instead of closing it up much It was perfectly evident lo tboie who watched that there waa u lot nf rcaervfl force In the Cornell boat and that they could bold Ihn Columbia lio.it where they pleased.

One of the most Interesting nnd unique features of the reunion was a reception tendered to Gov ernor Roosevelt at the Hotel Castanrda by the Mexican people of the territory just he- fore bis departure. The most InflucnIUI and leading people waited upon the noted New Yorker. Felix Martinez of this city made the ad- d.reas of welcome , during ( he course of which , hek made a rather sensational state ment. to-thc-5.-ffctt4hot jeJu5bc6nlnforjapjl ; th'at. the Spanish minister at the > - City of Mexico -privately , 'but seriously , objected to the visit of the Chihuahua band to Las Ve- gas. The objection was based on the assumption - sumption that the act of permitting the band to visit this country and assist In celebration of a victory over Spanish arms could not at least be considered a friendly attitude toward the vanquished nation. The Spanish minister waited unon President ! Diaz In an Informal way and stated his ob jections. President Diaz was not of the i same opinion , however , and allowed the j band to come to Las Vegas. Mr. Mar- ! tlnez , as spokesman on behalf of the native . people of New 'Mexico ' , expressed his hearty j sympathy -with the cause of the Rough i Riders and tendered to Governor Roosevelt ' his best compliments. Governor Rooeovclt i responded In his usual happy vein. j A letter from General Hernandez , com ' mander of the 'Rough ' Riders of New Mexico - ice , was read , expressing his regrets at be ing unable to be present.

The htrccts were flooded , looac telephone poi'es. boxes , barrels llo.ited about and side walks wrrc afloat. For nearly a mile all the poles nf the Kearney Electric company were broken off nnd in many ether placet ) single poles were blown down. The canning factory west of town waa struck by lightning. Its roof blown off and across the Union Pacific ralfroad tracks. On Its way across the tracks It cut off all tele graph wires. Several buildings in town were partially unroofed and a great number I of trees blown down. With the exception i of ono wire of the H.

The clouds all rushed tea a common center northwest of town and for a few minutes It looked like a cyclone. A pouring rain noon set in , accompanied by a steady electrical storm. All level ground was under water for some time after thn rain eased up. Considerable hall fell In town , some of it ns largo as small hens' eggs , but It did no damage , as little wind accompanied the storm. Southwest of town a few Inches of hall damaged crops consid erably , and west near Karney the wind blew down wires and small buildings. Wood River came up over four feet dur ing the night and Is still rising rapidly. So much timber was cut on the river last win ter and spring , and the brush being left , it Is now coming down In largo quantities and lodging against the bridges.
