The Harvard and Oxford Boys.
LONDON, Aug. 17.-The Harvard and Oxford
crews are out every day for practice. The tide
between Putney and Mortake has been bad,
and rowing could only be done early in the
morning or late at night. Good Judges say the
"OXOnans' are faultless and past comment
The Harvard crew have much improved, and
are rapidly working into the English style
They display great strength, and their pace
against a reverse tide is rapid. The question is
generally asked, Can they hold out at the ter
rife pace at which they start? Betting to-day
is five to two on the Oxford. Yesterday it was
three.

Republican Split i'm MARYLAND.
Special Despatch TO The EUentlg Telegraph.
WASHINGTON Aug. 17.-There is a serious
split in the Republican party of Maryland, which
is widened by the conduct of Postmaster General
Creswell. That wing of the party headed by
Judge Bond is out in card this morning de-
nouncing the Baltimore American and the Full
ton family in general. Crcswell goes with the

The virginia Legislature.
The Richmond State Journal of last evening
says it is authorized to say that General Candy
has not yet decided when he will issue the pro-
clamation calling the Legislature together and
announcing the result of the election in Virgil
mia. 1t further states that he will require the
test oath from members of the Legislature, and
in this he is sustained by Grant and the admins
traton. The Journal speaks with authority,
being the Candy organ.
Plate Printers.
Treasurer Spinner says that the plate printers
here in the Treasury are sustaining the strikers
in New York, and that the former propose to
strike in case the printing of fractional currency
is transferred to the Treasury Department. In
that event the Secretary of the Treasury will set

The Wealthy Usurers.

Despatch to The Evening Telegraph
New YORK, Aug. 17.-Russell Sage and G. B.
Watts, the two gents sentenced to toimprisonment
for usury, have put in atlidavits to procure a
suspension of sentence. Sage denies locking up
money, and says as he is engaged in the active
management of four large railroads, and in the
construction of four others, and trustee for
various companies and their creditors to the ex-
tent of twenty millions, such a course would be
highly prejudicial to himself
He did not know the transaction he was
charged with was criminal, and has returned the
interest. Watts states that he loaned money
for money, and the excess beyond legal interest
was his commissions.
Judge Cardozo reserved his decision.

A Brilliant Meteor.

Last Friday night, at 1l'21, while we were OBJ
serving the planet Jupiter, large green meteor
proceeded from the neighbOrhOOd of the con-
towards the eastern horizon. Such was the
brillioncy of the meteor, that it eclipsed the
light of Jupiter and of the fixed stars casting
upon the roof for three-fourths of a second a
distinct shadow of pair of spectacles which
had stopped to pick up. l supposed at first that
my companion had struck match to aid me in
my search, but quickly looking up, saw the
emerald train left by the swiftly flying globe Of
light Some twenty meteors of greater or less
brightness were observed between 1890 and II
o'clock, mostly in the southeastern sky; and
since the 10th instant | have observed nearly a
hundred. 1t will be remembered that mt this
period the earth is passing through the inner
edge OF an orbital ring OF meteorlc bodies, the

A Dutch Canal.

The great ship canal which is to connect
Amsterdam with the North Sea, at cost of
27, 600 guilders, is now once more in pro-
mo relieved the contractors of certain Difficult
lies which for time hindered the work The
canal will be about fifteen miles in length. One
portion of its course lies through the sea known
10 the Dutch as the Y, and through Wyker
Nicer, where it will be strongly embarked. The
sandy peninsula beyond, about five miles wide,
will be cut through and harbor will be built
at its mouth, at part of the coast where a har-
Dor is greatly wanted. For the proper utiliza-
out from Amsterdam, and the Pampus dam by
which this is to be effected is already half
finished, and the locks and sluices connected
with it are in progress. By this undertaking
Holland will add one more to her grand engi-
neering works, but it appears to be an English
firm who holds the contract. The opening of
the new port as harbor of refuge will be q boon
to all the mariners who navigate the North Sea,
