Russia Is Agreeable.
A telegram from st. Petersburg says
Russia recognizes the fitness Of the title
Of Empress of India, and will, imme-
diately after the issue Of Queen Victo-
rla's proclamation declaring the accept
ance OF the title, give official expression.
The cc-Cambridse victorious.
Weather warm; tho bright sun re-
sembled an American May day. Since
dawn unprecedented crowds have been
| flocking from every direction The bet
ting was four to one in favor Of Cam
bridge. Both crews are in splendid
form. Cambridge University is ad-
mitted to be the fastest, but some good
Judges think OXford's staying powers
are superior. From the quantity Of
light blue displayed 10y the crowd it is
evident that Cambridge is the favorito
OF the masses.
Oxford winning the choice took the
MiddleseX side
The start
utes seventeen seconds. Cambridge
away first, rowing thirty seven strokes
per minute very steadily. Oxford com
menced with thirty-tive.
Cambridge
drew away in the first quarter Of mile,
but at Craven Point,
Oxford
decreased tho lead to quarter OF n
length, each crew rowing thirty-six
strokes. Both quickened slightly, and
the Crab-tree, a mile and furlong from
the start, was reached in 4.5S.
Both Crews
now settled down to steady work Ham
mersmith bridge, four furlongs further,
was reached in 8 81, with Cambridge
clear length ahead. At the Doves, two
furlongs from Hammersmith bridge,
Cambridge was still further ahead, and
the race was virtually over. Cambridge
rowed steadily ahead, increasing the
lead at Chiswick Church to two and a
half lengths. At Barnes, oxford made
q last struggle, increasing the stroke to
forty, but the boat did not answer to this
squirt, and Cambridge, quickening her
stroke slightly, kept fully three lengths
ahead.
Barnes bridge three and half miles
from the start was reached in Is :1S. from
which point the boats rowed uniformly
to the ship, which was reached at 2 %
minutes and 36 seconds.
Oxford eased up just before the gun
fired, but Cambridge really won by a
little over three lengths.
Herzegovina.
A special dispatch to the Times from
Venice reports that Baron Rodich de-
manded that the insurgents should dis
arm as a preliminary condition. This
the chiefs refused to do, and the confer
ence was broken up. The insurgents

to Ragusa.
The Herzegovinians will probably re-
nouncG the armiSticc and resume hostili-
ties, because the Turks have violated
the armistice by concentrating troops at
Trebigne to attack Suttorina.
