INDICTED,
Rowing for tho Championship.

PITTSBURGH, June 9.-The second
single scull race for the championship OF
America and purse OF $1,000 between
VIM. Scharlf, champion, and Evan Morris,
both Of this city, was rowed over the up.
per Monongahela River course this after
noon. The weather was showery, but
thousands Of spectators lined the banks
OF the river and the hills in the back
ground, from which full view of the en-
tire course could 10 obtained. The race
was five miles-two and a half miles up
stream and return.
The men got into position about AIS
T. NJ, and the referee, Mr.. Thos. Reese,
gave the signal to start.
Morris within the past week had been
the favorite here, and to-day large odds
were offered by his friends.
The result OF the race, which was one
Of the finest ever witnessed here, justified
the confidence exhibited by his admirers.
From the start almost he took the lead,
which he maintained until he passed the
winning line. Morris turned the buoy in
2O:54, Scharffollowing in 9l:2S. On the
home stretch Schartr labored to close the
gap between him and his plucky rival,
but the latter spurted, and maintained
his advantage, passing the winning point,
according 10 tho official time announced
by the judges, in 3G;45, while ScharGr's
time was 81.
In the race last year ScharT won by less
less than boats length, but no Official
time was taken.

the late rebellion, is not clearly under.
stood. The insurgent force was broken
and dispersed one month ago, and all im.
portant strategic points occupied by the
Imperial troops. Nevertheless, the reb-
els maintain an irregular warfare among
the mountains. The principal leaders
including Saigo, continue at large. Skir-
mishes are frequent, but not understood
TO be serious. There arc rumors OF dis
content in other parts of the empire, but
these are not authenticated. According
TO the best authority the difficulty in de.
stroying the vestiges Of the revolt was
caused solely by the impracticable topo-
graphical character Of the disturbed
country.
The United States ship Alert sailed not
for Australia direct, as supposed, but TO
search for reported castaways on some n.
irequented Pacific island, the exact local
ity Of which is unknown. These reports,
long prevalent, are at last 30 emphatic
that Admiral Reynolds has resolved to
dispatch ship to investigate. The ma
tionality Of the supposed shipwrecked
party is unknown.

or, formerly Imperial Counselor, is des-
