Less Excitement at Portsmouth
Work Assuming the Ordi-

Thirty-ffth Race Between Oxford
and 0ambridgs-0xford an
Easy Winner.

LONDON, April l3.-There has been
less excitement at the Portsmouth dock.
yard this week, and work is fast assum.
ing the ordinary routine character.
Overtime has been generally stopped.
Very little remains to be done in the
way of war-like preparation.
Monday it became known that q letter
had been forwarded from The admiralty
to Portsmouth, asking how long it would
take to get ready for sea the Aotilla of
iron gunboats built for service in the
Baltic during the last Russian war and

sells of 254 tons displacement, with twin
screws, and carrying each an l8.ton gun
in the bows. Preparations we're actually
begun to fit them with magazines when
countermanding orders were received.
The t~birty.6fth race between the Ok
ford and Cambridge crews took place
this morning on the river Thames, over
the usual course from Putuey to Mart
lake, four miles and two furlongs, and
resulted in an easy victory for the Ok
ford crew, making eighteen victories for
Oxford. Cambridge has been successful
in sixteen races, and one last year was
a dead heat. The morning broke hazy
aud slightly overcast, but calm and mild.
By half-past nine the sun was shining
and the weather was perfect for the
race. The water was smtoth and
the crowd of spectators immense along
the entire course, especially at the
two ends. Fitting craft of all
kinds gave to the river an animated
appearance. Betting at Putuey be.
fore the start was four to one on Oxford,
which was freely offered but with no
takers, the result being considered as
certain.
A hurricane and waterspouts broke
upon Canton, China, doing immense
damage to the city.

QuEEN VIcroRIA has astonished

QUEEN VICTORIA has astonished
everybody by showing some marks
of leniency to Colonel Valentine
Baker, or Baker Pasha as he is now
called. She does not seem to OBJ
ject to his being readmitted into
the service. His return to England
was quite a triumph. He has been
readmitted to all the clubs which
expelled him after his trial, and has
been received by the whole fashion
able world, from the Duke Of Suth-
erlaud downward. 1t is, however,
whispered that this change of public
feeling in his favor has taken place,
not because his railroad-car esca.
pade is forgotten, bat because he
has once more shown, during biz
service in Turkey, that he is one
Of the best cavalry officers England
can boast of.

and wrongly subsidized by such
laws; credit mobilier frauds were so
planned the National banking
system was SO engendered; undue
privileges were SO accorded to these
and to other pets of legislation as
well. If at any time public atten-
ton was attracted to any of these
matters, and more or less of public
censure was visited on the schemers
or their benefciaries-then lawyers
-"the highest legal talent of the
land stepped quickly TO the front
to exonerate the law-makers-prin-
cipally lawyers too from blame,
and to clear, if possible, the charac-
tiers Of the culprits; if not, then
to cloud public comprehension with
SO thick a web of legal subtleties
that, like Melted flies which become
but more entwined in their efforts
to free themselves from the spider
meshes they are caught in, they
would be ~powerless to escape into a
normal condition of free thought
and the exercise OF rational judg-
ment.
But the end is not yet. Such
records are not forgotten and have
yet to be-and will be-cOnsidered
and scrutinized, and dealt with, in
the light of the new policy of re-
v~irescence that the nation is now
entering on.
Railroads and lawyers and banks;
banks and railroads and lawyers;
lawyers and railroads and banks ;
are 50 linked together that,
paraphraSing an old couplet, it can
be truly said of them:
Twist and turn them, this way or that, as you
will.
The sense Of privileged wrong hangs round
them still;
and in it they are found to be won
derfully combined and interdepend-
ent, aud through it have become
huge leecheson the body polite, each
succeeding year more rayenously
sucking the life-blood of the nation
themselves %battening and fat
into disproportionate pros
on the energies of industry
in every shape. 1t is not meant by
this general chasing, nor is it in
tended, in any way in the least, to
convey the idea or create the i'm.
preston that either Of these occu-
pationS is, per Sc, Infamous or in
furious to society and the nation.
Each and all, Invested of the OBJ
noxiouS character now incident to
them as being either wrOngfully
privileged or sustaining such as are
SO, have very high claims on public
consideration, and will, when they
are Shrunk back into proportions
of fair equality before the law with
others, receive the plaudits of genu-
inc commentator for the real good

of the grosser wrong S
