The Harvard Class Races.
 BOSTON, May 10.-The annual class races of the Harvard boat club were rowed this afternoon on Charles river. The water was very rough. The boats were started at 4:25. The '83 crew at once took the lead, although they pulled slower stroke than any of their competitors. It became clear that '84 had the muscle, 'S5 the skill and '93 both the skill and muscle, while 'S6 had only bad boat and an inexperienced crew. The seniors were easy vietors, having covered the mile and seven eighths in II minutes41 seconds good time, considering the weather. The juniors were second in 12 minutes seconds, the sophomores third in 12 minutes 10 sec- onds, the freshmen fourth in 12 minutes ,23 2 seconds It was perfectly fair race, we'll rowed, but not particularly exciting.

Jere Dunn's TriaI-The Prisoner Denies
 That He Offered to Plead Mansiaughter.
 CHICAGO May 1O.-The trial of Jere Dunn for the murder of Pugilist Elliott, Judge Sidney Smith presiding, was peremptorily adjourned by the court this morning until 2 o'clock. After the adjournment until D. m. there was considerable speculation concern ing the motive for the action of the States counsel. While nothing authoritative on the subject can be obtained it is learned from trustworthy source that Jere Dunn through his counsel offered to plead guilty to man slaughter and that the commonwealth after due deliberation declined to recommend such disposal of the case to the favorable con sideration of the court. At o'clock the prisoner was again brought in. He was still more nervous than at the morning session and all the light talk and jokes of ''Parson" Davis, who sat on his right, failed to break the cloud on his countenance. Counsel an- nounced that they were ready to proceed and State Attorney Mills resumed his opening ar eument, contending that the cass was one of wilful and deliberate murder. Emory A. Storrs, who followed, urged On the other hand that every feature connected with the affair indicated that the killing was done purely in self defense. Fred Plaisted, the oarsman, was then called.
 It is positively asserted in sport ing circles tonight that Dunn offered to plead guilty on condition that sentence not exceeding one year should be imposed Dunn, however, denies this. He was inter- viewed tonight and was asked: 'Can you tell the reason your trial was postponed to- day p He replied q cannot tell you be- cause do not know myself. My counsel would not tell me the reason. All they said was it had been arranged that it should be postponed"
 ssIt is rumored outside that you have agreed to plead guilty to charge of manslaughter, provided you are assured of a light sen- tence." 'sNo, sir I will state positively that would not agree to make any such plea. I would not consent to plead guilty to a charge of assault; and shall be very much disappointed if am not acquitted" /"
 Plaisted testified that he was sitting at the table at the Tivoli talking to Elliott few minutes before the tragedy. The conversa- ton related to the proposed trip through the West: Suddenly shot was heard and a ball came whizzing within a few inches of his (Plaisted) head. He immediately dodged under the table and peeping up side ways saw that Elliott had grabbed chair and was swinging it in the air close to the chandelier. Elliott dropped the chair and were fired, but by whom Plaisted could not say. The next thing he saw was Elliott and Dunn grappling. Elliott pulled pistol from his pocket about ten seconds from the time they commenced struggling. He remembers noth- ing more until her saw Elliott weltering in his life's blood. Plaisted was cross-examined at some length, but his testimony was un- shaken. The trial will be resumed to-mor- TOW.

 In the Star route trial to-day Judge Wylie withdrew his censure of Blackmar, and cen- made proposition to Blackmar, the latter only listening to it. After some discussion Blackmar was allowed to take the stand and explain the circumstances of the alleged bar gain between him and Rerdell affecting the composition of the jury. He said Rerdell told him he would exercise his privilege as g defendant to challenge jurors. Rerdell gave witness list of those he would challenge. The witness promised to produce the list and left the stand. MT. Wilson then resumed his argument for the defence and had not con- cluded when court adjourned.
 General Walker. counsel for Walsh and Sheridan, leaves for New York tomorrow. He has had conference with the State de pertinent officials to-day, but refuses to dis close the result of his interview.

wheat prospects during last month. The
 severity of March was followed by three
 weeks of dry weather which was succeeded
 by one week of invigorating rain. The
 season is still backward and higher temper
 ature is needed. The small area of spring
 sown wheat in England is thin and much of
 it will be displaced by barley. In France and Germany rain is needed and a higher temperature is necessary. With reduced acreage in western Europe, and some in Jan uary from freezing in March, reduced crop appears to be inevitable In Austria and Hungary the prospect is favorable for at least medium crop. Returns of the progress or cotton planting show that the work is later than usual in every State and indicate that on May 1st "A per cent of the proposed area was planted where the usual proportion is said to be 84 per cent. In Virginia and North Carolina it was very late.
