Oxford's Kood generalship and lino uttering defeated Cambridge today by the narrowest margin on record In tho fifty-eighth olght-oarrd shell raco between the universities. Tho win was by a mere trifle of twenty feet. Tho bow of the Cambridge shell was almost oven with the bowman In thu Oxford boat. When one remembers that the crows raced from Putney to Mortlnke. four miles and 400 yanlB, the close finish becomes mar velous. In tho coxswain's scat of tho Oxonian shell sat 0, S.

The" war lu South Africa had robbed both crews' of good men and good poachers, but there, were eight powerful, well-sear.oncd fellows In each shell that enmo paddling up to tho starting skiffs Just above Putney bridge, The Cambridge men sat higher and their backs aud 'shoulders showed tho mightier bulk, Oxford's fellows" wero not o big lookfnic, but their time and blade work wcro prettlory As a matter of fact, tho Cambridge crbw averaged only one pound and a half heavier than their rivals. The raco was rowed upstream on tho strongth of the flood tide. Tho south wind was blowing it good woven knots an hour, and for the first mile and a half It struck tho boattt on the part quarter, making ex ceedingly difficult going for nny but tho best wnlcrmanshlp.

At Colonel Wll llam'w signal tho crews caught tho water together, but Cambridge's snappy stroke gave them a khado the better of the start. Cambrltlgo rowed thirty-four strokes to the minute at the start and Oxford thirty five, which brought the dark blues abreast if Cambridge aud gave them a fractional lend, which was lost before Hammersmith brldgo was reached. Cheers rose from Cambridge's steamboat as their boat passed Hammersmith bridge, half a length ahead. On tho Oxford steamer there was deep silence nnd anxiety. At Thorueycrofts very rough water was met and the turn of the course brought the wind around and uhead.

The dis sensions of the king and 'queen form a burning topic of discussion In society, where sympathy Is wholly with tho king 'n bis Intlstenco that the queen shall play it prominent social part. The queen virtually wants to nbdlcate her functions and live In almost as complete re tirement as when she was tho princess of Wales. She Is extremely tenacious In her opinions, and It can easily be understood bnw the king has forfeited tho Influence over her by which he might otherwise mold her to his will. He has Implored the dowager empress of Hussla, now In Copen hagen, to persuade the queen to accept boldly tho responsibilities of her new posi tion, and hopes much from her sister's In tervention. Tho Prlnrrsi Victoria is proving as In tractlble as her mother. She has gone on n private visit to Devonshire to her old governess for a month Instead of accom panying the king to Windsor.

Aguinaldo, nervously pacing tho floor nnd deeply thinking, thrusts his hands through his hair. He smokes many cigars and cigarettes nnd has a hearty appetite.' He speaks only a few words of English. He Is conscious of his dignity, but tries to talk pleasantly with his guards. He often praises the skill and audacity of General Kunston In effecting his capture, saying that only by strategem could he have been captured. It is sail Aguinaldo Is very strongly adverse to reverting from his former attitude, but that he must regard the best Interests of the Filipino people. The sisters of Dr. Barcelona havo called upon him, bringing a plentiful supply of linen. Is No I'heitp Mini. Aguinaldo is well supplied with money and has ordered a supply of new clothes. He Is careful of his personal appearance. He celebrated his 32d birthday the day before ho was captured.

Aguinaldo tries to read tho American newspapers and is anxious to learn the stato of public opinion In tho United States regarding Philippine affairs.

Tho representative of the Associated Press has Interviewed many Filipinos, In cluding both business and professional men in Manila, aH well as representatives of tho lower classes and former Insurgents on tho capture of Aguinaldo. Tho ma jority of tho persons questioned were unfelgncdly glad that Aguinaldo bad been captured nnd snld they considered that the worst obstnele to the speedy pacification of the Islands bad been removed.

(Special Telegram ) Tho windup of tho legislative session Is proceeding with the usual Incidents that mark the dissolution of such bodies. So far iim the legislative calendar Is con cerned It Is still Thursday and tho silent clocks with motionless hands Indicate a suspension of tho lapse of time. Tho houfo Is well up on Its business, buckling down seriously only at Intervals, but the senato has to keep at It Incessantly to llnlsh tho bills awaiting action on the files. It will be nt least Sunday evening beforo final word of adjournment Is pronounced. Tho only Important measure up today was senato tile lti.1, known ns thn bill to nuthorUe a compromise of tho obllgatlou duo the stato by the Hartley bondsmen. As already stated In Tho Bee, tho principal sureties, notwithstanding tho fact that lu-y had taken pains to mnko themselves ex ecution proof, have been busy lining up members In fnvor of tbo bill nnd thn vote of .r.:i to 22 Is tho beet proof of whut offeu tlvo work they accomplished. Strange to say, although It was known there wcro several outspoken opponents of the scheiuo in the houso who could havo put up h vigorous light against loudlng the taxpayers with a shortage of nearly $750,000, which the bondsmen ought (o make good, not a word of discussion was precipitated, bin. the bill railroaded to Its passage by roll roll as If tho tracks had been specially grenscd. All Uehnte !llpprreil. It Is true threo or four members ventured to explain their votes on both Rides of tho question, but none of them went to tho gist of tho bill. Theso explanations woru us follows: Hy Fowler Tho notions brought by our late nttorn-n- uenerul, C. J. Hmyth. wero conducted with consummate ubllltv ami un tlngglng zeul. yet without nucces.i. Thu present attorney general Is understood to bellevo that moro can bo reullzi-il for tho Mtuto by compromise tbiiu by further in tlons In the court.

Hy Sprecher-Hellevlng thnt this umj of tho State of Nebraska against tbo Hurt ley bondsmen has been purpoeoly delayed In tho Interests) of said bondsmen by otll. dais who were supposed to servo the state, mid that Hiild delay, followed by this prop osition for u compromise. Is simply accord ing to the program; further believing that that bond meant Just whnt It said uud should ho so considered, mul thnt thlH bill would not only do n rnnk Injustlco to tho people of this state, and also establish a bad precedent ns to such matters, I voto no. Hy Ollls I am opposed to dismissing such ciisch without nt least part payment, and the friends of this bill, having opposed mi amendment to provide for nt least L5 per cent, 1 voto no.

An examination of tho Individual record which Is given In tho report of routine proceedings will show that of tho flfty- threo affirmative votes twenty-six wero fuslonlst nnd twenty-sovcn republican. Of tho twenty-two negatives, ten wero repub lican and twelve fuslonlsts. It Is notablo that among thoso who did not voto nt nil were several who nro still in nttendanro at the legislature and who wcro expected to be recorded "no." Mr. II row n l'et-1 AuktIi-v eil. The passage of this bill brought forth a speech from Brown of Furnas taking ex ception to whnt The Beo had said about his relations lo tho men behind It us n reflection upon him. It would bo nu ex ceptional legislature that did not endeavor to take Tho Beo to task at least onco or twico for exposing Jobs and deals nnd this ono could not miss tho opportunity. Mr. Brown read from Tho Bee tho artlclo giving information of the Influences at work to secure tho Hartley bond compromise nnd as a question of personal prlvllego under took to defend his position. He said ho had not known until a few- days beforo election that an effort was to be made lu tho legis lature to relieve his uncle of the obliga tion resting on him as ono of the Hartley bondsmen nnd thnt had ho known it sooner ho would havo refused to havo hecomo u candidate for tbo legislature. Ho denied that ho had directly or Indirectly solicited votes for the bill and pointed to the fact that ofter reading Tho lleo for fear of lay ing himself liable to Impugnment of bis motives, ho had refrained from voting on It at all, although ho wanted to nnd although It needed votes badly. Let n Cnl Out or the llm;. In conclusion, Mi. Brown endeavored to ascribe tbo reference to hlin In Tho Bee to tho fact that ho hud not voted for Mr. Roscwater for United States senator, "I was solicited," ho Hhouted, "over ami over by lntlinato friends to voto for Ed ward iloscwater for senator, Tlmt I stead fastly refused and told them I never would vote for Roscwater for senator (pausing) unless he should first ho nominated In .a . caucus In which I participated." This belated ndmlsslon Is thn real ex planation why Brown hold out of tho Inst republican caucus. Pp to this time bin failure to participate was based on thn protenso that It was n short caucus, al though ho had previously been participating In tho original caucus after It had beeu left short by tho walkout of tho nine se ceders aud had repeatedly assured friends that he would support tho republican can cub nominees without thn reservation that ho should partlclpatu In tho caucus. At the close of his remarks Wbttmoro and Mockett Jumped Into tho breach to testify to Brown's Integrity and character, and Sprochcr. Slockwcll. Iomls and n fnw other fuslonlsts added their Indorsement to his purity of motives. Piny llore ivllli Owl fur Mini.
