The Great Aquatic Contest Viewed
by Thousands.
Enthusiasm Displayed at the Fln
lah-Tlie U.it Itace Ever Rowed on
the Thames—It ecord Broken
—Sullivan's Forfeit.
London', April 0.—The forty-ninth
annual boat race between the Oxford
and Cambridge eights took place
todav. Genuine Easter weather fa
vored the event, and as a result there
was an immense turnout of spectators.
From an early hour a constant stream
of foot passengers and vehicles of all
descriptions were wending their way
rirerwards from all parts of London.
Excursion trains from the country
poured their thousands into the
metropolis to swell the. sight-seeing
throng, while the Metropolitan, Dis
trict, Northwestern and other railways1
having depots on the riverside ran a
constant succession of trains crowded
with people to see the great aquatic
contest of the year decided.
Along the banks of the river vast
crowds of people had congregated, who
heartily cheered both crews as they
paddled from their boat houses to the
starting point.
The Oxford crew won the toss for
the selection of place, and took up
their station on the Middlesex shore.
The betting before the start was 5 to
4 in favor of Cambridge.
The start was made exactly at 12:15,
and Oxford won in 19 minutes and 12
seconds.
The tide was but fair and Cambridge
had a slight advantage at the start,
both crews struck a thirty-nine stroke
the first minute. Oxford regained its
lost ground by the time it had reached
the London boat house, and was al
ready leading a few feet at Bishop's
creek. Thence favored by its shel
tered station the Oxford crew
forged ahead, and led by
a length when opposite Bose
cottage. The Cambridge crew, at this
point made an earnest spurt to recover
lost ground, and by the time they
reached the soap works they had re
gained half a length. There was great
excitement at the time among the
U.UUO »UU H'U VI V If O OrUU VUVU
side heartily cheered its favor
ite. The river bend favored
Cambridge and Oxford seemed
to lose for a time its even stroke and
became ragged. They gathered them
selves, however, and made a spurt, re
covering part of their advantage, and
lead by over half a length at Hammer
smith.
Now came the bend in the river, and
a gamey struggle between the crews
such as the Thames has never seen.
Around the bend, spvwt an
swered spurt, and both crews
rowed gamely and manfully. Oxford
maintained a slight advance until
Chiswick ferry was reached, Cambridge
at that moment having an excellent
show for the race, but at Chiswick
ferry the Oxford men made a bold and
successful stroke which virtually as
sured them victory. Shooting across
Corney bend to the Middlesex shore,
Oxford again had the advantage of
station, and went rapidly ahead
in smooth water, while Cambridge
plodded helplessly in the rough water
more and more to the stern. The Cam
bridge men began to show distress and
exhaustion, while Oxford pushed
grandly forward flushed with the cer
tainty of triumph. Passing
Ilarnes bridge Oxford was four lengths
ahead and continued about
that lead until the finish. Cambridge
made occasional faint spurts to regain
lost ground, but without any ap
preciable success, Oxford winning, as
stated, in ID minutes and 12 seconds
The scene, as Oxford passed the fin
ishing point, was one of the wildest
enthusiasm, and the admirers of both
victors and vanquished united in de
claring the race one of the finest ever
rowed on the Thames.
The time made by the winning crew
today beat the record. The nearest to
it was in 1886 when Cambridge won in
19:45. Outside of Cambridge in
1888 no crew has ever gone be
low 20:05.
POSTS THE FORFEIT.
Charley Johnstone Pats Up the 82,500
Demanded.
New York, April 9.—Late last night
Charley Johnstone announced that he
had decided to put up the 93,500 guar
antee demanded by the Olympic club
for the appearance of the lighters in the
club’s arena on the day set for the
fight. Johnston would not give his
reason for his sudden change of mind,
hut it is Baid that he had information
that Corbett was going to put up the
amount required and he was afraid
that if he made a fight on the question
it might be construed in some quarters
that the Sullivan party were looking
for a loophole in which to avoid the
meeting.
MATTHEW’S FOOT.
It Has a Faculty for Getting; “in It” Once
In Thirty Days.
London, April 9.—Home Secretary
Matthews seems to have a faculty of
putting his foot in on an average of
once a month. On top of his refusal
to listen to appeals on behalf of Mrs.
Maybrick and Mrs. Osborne, and his
latest refusal, in the face of thousands
of requests, many of them from influ
ential sources, to reprieve Eggleton
and Kaynor, the Oxford poachers wiio
were recently hanged, ne has capped
the climax in another direction by
granting a pardon to Charles A. Perry
man, proprietor of the Financial Ob
server, who was recently sentenced to
*everal months’imprisonment for libel
'ng a lawyer. When sentence was
passed Judge Chambers told the pris- 1
°ner that he had aggravated his of
jense by committing a distinct con
empt of court in libeling the jury be
,0«tA°» the case was tried. Not
withstanding this,.however, the home
secretary not only issued a pardon, but
also accompanied it with a peremptory
.er for the immediate release of the
Pr£°uer. i
May brick's health is failing
rapidly. Her mother, the haroness dt
Roques, who recently visited her in
the hospital of Waking' prison, says
that she has been in bad health tor a
month, suffering from a complication oi
disorders, and is thoroughly broken in
spirit and health. There is a heredit
ary tendency to consumption in the
family, and it is not regarded as un
likely that her present condition may
develop into an attack of quick con
sumption.
ANOTHER VACANCY TO FILL
A Humor That Charles E. Smith, M nlstei
to Russia, Will Resign.
Washington. April 9.—The semi
official announcement that the
resignation of Charles Emory
Smith, United States minister to Rus
sia, is on its way has stirred up a good
deal of speculation regarding his suc
cessor. This, with France, makes twe
first-class missions to be filled. It it
known that Hon. Joseph Medill, of the
Chicago Tribune, could have the
French mission if he wanted it, bul
his health and that of his wife is such
as to preclude the possibility of his un
dertaking the onerous duties attached
to the French mission. Colonel Elliott
F. Shepard, of the Mail and Express,
is also regarded as having strong
chances for Paris, although it is under
stood that he does not care about leav
ing this country until the end of the
presidential campaign. Ex-Senatoi
Blair, of New Hampshire, who is re
garded as persona non grata by China,
is mentioned in connection with the
mission at Russia. It Beems to be ad
mitted, however, that there is no over
abundance of material for either post
The movements and intentions of ex
Governor Pbrter, of Indiana, ministei
to Italy, and who is now home on leavd
of absence, seem to be somewhat in
volved in obscurity. Advices from In
diana say that he is likely to be nom
inated for the governorship by the
next republican state convention, but
he says himself that he has no furthei
ambition in that line, and is simplv'
awaiting instructions from Secretary
Blaine.
THE GRANT MONUMENT.
Special Committees Appointed to Solicit
Subscriptions,
New York, April 9.—The anniver
sary of the birth of General Grant is
but two weeks off, and in view of the
fact the Grant Monument association
is making strenuous efforts to secure
me uaianee oi mo amount necessary
for the completion of that enterprise.
Special committees have deen ap
pointed by the mercantile exchange,
the cotton goods trade, the clothiers
and other trade organizations, and by
the Century club, and house to house
and office canvasses in the mercantile
and manufacturing districts are being
inaugurated today. Nearly 9300,000
has so far been secured and it is
hoped that with the aid of the thirty
five auxiliary trade committees the re
maining $300,000 will be raised by the
end of the month. One subscription
of $10,000 was received yesterday from
a gentleman who requested that his
name be kept secret The laying of
the corner stone of the monument,
three weeks hence, will be made the
occasion of a great demonstration.
The day will be declared a public holi
day and business will be entirely sus
pended. President Harrison and cabi
aet, members of both houses of con
gress, the diplomatic corps, and the
governors of neighboring states will
dignify the event by their presence.
WANT MORE WHALE-BACKS.
rhe Spiinl.li-American Iron Company Will
Order a Fleet of Them.
Duluth, Minn., April 9.—The Span
ish-American Iron company, whose ex
tensive mines are located twenty-four
miles east of Santiago, Cuba, will soon
make a contract with the American
Steel Barge company for the building
if a large fleet of steel whale-back
vessels under the patents owned by the
barge company. The iron company
has been developing its mines in Cuba
for two yearB and iB now almost ready
to ship ore. It will ship to Baltimore
and Philadelphia, and will be a severe
competitor of American mines. It is
probable also that this and other
Cuban mines owned in the United
States will utterly prohibit the importa
tion of European ores to this country.
NO ROOM FOR LOWELL.
Westminster Abbey Is Too Crowded—A
Window Suggested.
London, April 9.—James Russell
Lowell is not to have a monument in
Westminster Abbey. The Athenaum
says today that owing1 to the scanti
ness of the unoccupied space in the
abbey, the Very Reverend George
Granville Bradley, D. D., dean of
Westminster, has reluct&ntly declined
to find room in the abbey for the pro
posed monument. As suggested in
stead of a monument a window in the
chapter house, the scene of the deliv
ery of some Mr. Lowell's addresses,
may be filled with a stained glass
memorial.

the water line belt of the coast defense
ihip Monterey. It is a plate of nickel
itecl, weighs 40,000 pounds, and is thir

SOME MORE LONOON FILTH.
**•»» William*' Suit Alenin*! Earl RumoII
Fromlua MaUcloa* Testimony,
New York, April 11. — A London
cable says it is semi-ofilcially an
nounced that all efforts to bring about
an amicable adjustment of the suit
brought by Miss Annie William*
against Earl Russell, claiming $25,001
damages for slander, have failed, and
that the case will go to trial at the
forthcoming term of court. Formal
service of the writ was made upon the
earl today. The case, owing to it*
peculiar nature, has already attracted
considerable attention both in legal
and medical circles, and people of all
classes are taking so much interest in
the preliminaries that it promises tc
become a “cause celebre” by the time
trial is reached. Considerable curios
ity is expressed concerning the plea
that will be put forward on behalf ol
the earl. It cannot be “not guilty,"
because the alleged slander was made
in open court, and it is there
fore thought that the counsel
for his lordship will be com
pelled to plead justification,
and that the alleged slander was true
in substance and fact This case may
result in extraordinary developments.
The cause of the suit had its origin
during the recent trial of the case
brought by Countess Russell against
the earl for separation on the ground
of cruelty and outrageous habits and
conduct, which Buit was decided in the
earl’s favor. In the course of the ense,
upon cross-examination by opposing
counsel, he was forced to admit that in
his younger days he had seduced Miss
Williams, who was employed as a
house maid in the family of his par
ents, and that he had paid to her par
ents a large sum of money in full set
tlement of the damage done to them
by reason of such relationship Now
Miss Williams comes forward with the
declaration that this evidence was
false in substance and in fact, and that
no improper relations ever existed be
tween herself and the earl, or, for that
matter, between herself and any other
individual of the inale gender, and
that as a matter of fact she is as much
“virgin in fact” as upon the day she
was born. To make matters more in
teresting her statement is confirmed
by several medical men to whom she
has submitted for examination. Her
parents also deny that any such nego
tiations as those narrated bv the earl
upon the witness stand ever transpired
between him and them, and this de
spite the fact that the affair was com
mon talk in the village where they re
sided at the time of the alleged .settle
ment, and that the fact of Miss Will
iams having fallen a victim to the im
petuous ardor of the earl has always
been accepted in that neighborhood as
gospel truth.
The earl, it is claimed by his friends,
has abundant evidence to back up the
story that was forced from him on the
witness stand. The young woman on
the other hand, has abundant evidence
in the form of the statements of the
medical men that she is still, without
question, a virgin.
In the article upon “Modern Baby
lon,” published in the Pall pMall Ga
zette some years ago by Editor Stead,
which cost him several months of im
prisonment, there was a chapter
specifically devoted to certain women,
who, it was claimed, made it a business
to restore young girls who had fallen
victims to aristocratic profligates to
their pristine condition. It is not
specifically declarcd-that such an ex
planation as this will account for the
conflicting stories of Earl Bussell and
Annie Williams, but it is said that de
tectives have been employed upon this
branch of the case, and medical evi
dence that such a condition of affairs
would be possible can be produced in
abundance. At any rate the trial
promises to be prolific in prurient de
velopments, both real and hypo
thetical.
REFUSES HIS FRIENDSHIP.
Harrison Won’t Make It Up With Matthew
Quay.
New York, April 11.—A special to
the Sun, from Philadelphia, says there
will be no reconciliation between Sen
ator Quay and President Harrison and,
as a result, Mr. Harrison may even
tually not be a candidate for renomi
nation.
Mr. nanamaner ana congressmen
Bingham, O’Neill and Keyburn called
on the president a few days ago for
the purpose of patching up a peace,
but the president surprised the delega
tion by turning to Mr. Wanamaker
and Baying: "The less you have
to do with Mr. Quay the
better it will be for youself.
He is not a fit man to associate with.”
Them the president said he was not so
certain about accepting the renomina
tion, unless he was assured that the
party was harmonious, and that he
preferred to stand aside rather than to
place himself in the power of Mr. Quav
and some other men who had attempted
to dictate terms for a renomination.
When this was told Senator Quay
he was annoyed.
He immediately began to discuss
with his fellow senators the availa
bility of Blaine as a presidential can
didate, and the boom in the interest
of the secretary lost week is due to
Quay's work.
Young Druggist Suicides.
Perry, la , April 9. —Charles A. Croft,
a prominent young druggist of this

phine. He had been in Des Moines for

rival home was severely reprimanded
by his father, lie immediately took the

attendance three doctors were able to
keep him alive until about noon today.
He was 23 years old. It is feared the
mother may lose her mind.

DEATH ON THE GUILLOTINE.
Lieutenant Annstajr 1’nye the Penalty for
-the Murder of lluronea. llellard.
Paris, April 0.—Lieutenant Anastay,
the murderer of Baroness Dellard,
was executed this morning at fifteen
minutes after 5 o'clock. When notified
by the officials a 5 o'clock of his ap
proaching execution, Anastay arose,
dressed himself without assistance,
and made a confession to Abbe Valid
ier, who had been his spiritual atten
dant since his condemnation. Anastay
was ghastly pale, but he showed no
signB of fear, and walked with firm
step to the guillotine, lie submitted
quietly to the executioner, and the
knife did its work satisfactorily and
thoroughly. Everything was over at
5:35 o'clock. The father of Anastay
claimed his body, with the view of hav
ing a special examination of the head
to prove that the murderer had suf
fered from cerebral trouble. The au
thorities, however, refused to permit
a special post mortem examination to
be had.
