London. March x2.-e-o0 a. m.-Ihe
.mvd, both ON the banks Of the river
thames and on the river itself. to wit.
ness the thirty-seyenth race between
the boat crews representing Oxford and
cambridge universities, is as great a.
ever. The sky is grey. There is .
slight mist ON the river and n bitter
wind blowing.
9;45-The Oxford crew have just
taken short paddle and were enthusi-
.stically received by the crowd.
The press and umpire steamtrs have
arrived.
A report from Barnes says thu
crowds which have been assembling In
that vicinity since 8 O'Clock, are much
greater than ON Saturday.
The river Is covered with boats and
launches. The haze which at first
oyerhung the river has completely
cleared Of.
lli5 q. m.-Tbe Oxford crew, rs ex-
pected. won the race
The course was the one usually
roxed. from Putney to Mortlake. four
miles and quarter.
1900 m.-The Oxford crew won the
boat race easily by three and a-half
lengths, in 2l minutes and % seconds.
The Cambridge crew started at the
rate Of 40 strokes per minute; the OK
ford crew at 81 or 80. The race at the
commencement was beautifully close.
The Cambridge at first gained slight
advantage from rowing quicker
stroke, but the Oxford crew drew to q
level with them by the time half mile
had been rowed. and ut Grass wharf,
81 minutes from the start, had led on
a few feet. When mile had been left
behind a splendid struggle took place
for the lead. which the Cambridge Sc
cured, opposite the crab tree, a mile
and quarter from the start. It
seemed as II they would row right
away, but the squirt had told on Cam
bridge, who began to row short. They,
however, maintained the lead to Ham
mersmith bridge, half a mile further
on, partly because Of the bad steering
by the 0xfords. The boats were on
even terms shortly after passing the
bridge, and the exciting struggle was
maintained 10 Cheswick Eyat. The
irregularity Of the Cambridge crew,
however, was preceptibly increasing,
while the Oxford crew were rowing
like a machine. When half way dn
Chiswick Eyat the Oxford crew led by
half a length. At Chiswick church,
two miles and FIVE furlongs from the
start, the race, which had so far been
one Of the finest ever seen, was virtu-
ally over, the Oxford crew leading by
two lengths.
The race Is remarkable as one Of the
few instances In which the boat first
under Hammersmith bridge has been
defeated.
The rough water and greater force
Of wind doubtless gave Oxford the ad-
vantage, as their style Of rowing was
more suitable to cope with them. Tho
start took place at 1898 O'Clock.
The latest report from Mortlake is
that the Oxford crew passed the judges
boat two and one-half or three lengths
ahead.

WAsmSeToS, March 22.-Hill. OF
tGa- }. from the committee on elections
reported Spofford entitled TO the seat
now occupied by kellogg.
Hoar presented q minority report OF
himself, Cameron and logan. Both
reports read: ''Kellogg. charged with
corrupt and fraudulent conduct" /" The
minority report declares only change
In facts since Kellogg took the oath.
and that the party majority In congress
has changed. and IL is sought by mere
superiority Of party members for the
lirst time, 70 thrust the senator from a
seat he holds by virtue Of the express
and deliberate and hnal Judgment Of
the senate. This act Is characterized
rs great political crime. to be classed
with the rebellion; with the Maine con-
spirators. with the overthrow Of SOUTH
ern states government. The people Of
the United States will thoroughly CON-
prehend the action OF the senate in
this matter, and judge whether the
VOWS Of southern people taken back
into citizenship mean anything. They
thoroughly discredit the evidence ON
which the majority report Is founded,
and say 1t Is unworthy Of the lowest
case on record and has been completely
disproven.
Hill moved the report be recommit-
ted and 20 be called up Monday.
Hoar. Hin, Carpenter and Thurman
debated the question, In which debate
Carpenter asked what would prevent
Kellogg from reopening the case at the
next session. IL Spofford were seated

cept and ratify the agreement submit
ted by the confederated bands OF Ute
Indians, for the sale Of their reserva-
tion in Colorado. and make the neces-
sary appropriations for carrying out
the same. Placed on the calendar.
Coke said the bill was very import
ant. Its speedy passage might avert
an Indian war, and he would call ii up
as soon rs possible.
After an executive session the senate
adjourned.

San Francisco. Sep. ia Virginia
City dispatch says: The accident at the
Consolidated Imperial mine last night
resulted in the death Of nine men, and
another dangerously hurt. At 3o'clock
the shift were coming of, and the cage
with ten men upon 1t. had started for
the surface when the cable broke, pre-
cipitating them down the shaft some
three hundred feet; fourteen hundred
feet Of rope being piled upon them.
Three men have been taken out, two Of
whom are dead, and the other is not
expected to live. It will be some hours
before the others can he got out. The
cable broke ut the reel, and for some
unexplained cause the safeties did not
catch the cable; it was OF the best Eng
lish make, four and half inches by
half an inch, and was In use only three
months. The shift was In charge OF
Ryder, pumpman, and the pump shift
was changing at the same time with the
other shift. Ryder was on the under
cage, on which was found an AK with
the helve broken eight inches from the
poll. The only explanation of the ac-
cident is that this Ak handle caught
the timbers, causing the strain which
broke the cable. The engineer on duty
says that everything was running smooth
when the cable broke.

Augusta, Sep. 17.-Senator Blaine
sent the following telegram to-day from
Augusta,
To Hon. Marshall Jewell, Chairman
Republican National committee, New
York:-We have complete returns ex-
cept from a few distant plantations,
and give you summary Of the result.
In the election of 1879 the republicans
lacked ]. 1.045 votes Of the majority. This
year we have made gains In twelve
counties, held our own in two counties,
and In two counties we have made
slight losses. Our net gains in the
whole sixteen counties Is reckoned at
Loco, making Gov. Davis reelection
q certainty, no longer denied by his op-
ponents. His majority over Plaisted
will probably not vary much from 400.
We have chosen three-fourths Of the
county officers, more than two-thirds Of
the state senate and large majority of
the house OF representatives, giving
complete control of the state govern
ment in all its branches.
Our only regret is the failure TO re-
gain the fourth and fifth congressional
districts. We succeeded In reducing
the majority In each 10 about one-third
of the fusion majority two years ago,
but the democrats, alarmed over the
result In Vermont, caused the appli-
cation OF arguments In both districts
during the last week which we could
not meet.
(Signed) J. G. BLAINE.
Portland. Sep. ia dispatch from
Fort Fairfield reports that the vote of
Perham stands: Davis so, Plaisted "a.
Last year: Davis 8, fusion 81. Il is
found that in compiling last years
book that 80 OF the scattering votes Of
last year was stated but not specified.
The missing 80 we may have in the
present returns. II 50. this gain Of 90
would overcome the difference between
Davis plurality and the scattering and
give him majority Of five, but this is
subject to all the errors made In this
way Of receiving returns.
Portland, Me-, Sep. 17.-Four hun
dred and ninety towns give Davis
73,30l, Plaisted 72,5ss; scattering 1888;
Davis plurality 713. The ANAL towns
to hear from gave Davis 40, fusion ABS,
scattering so; total $50; fusion plu-
rally Of $50. which deducted, leaves
Davis 31s plurality.
