Oxford yyins the Untversity R

Oxford Wins the University Race.
 LONDON, March 5.-Notwithstanding the threatening weather the preparations for the Oxford Cambridge boat race went on with yigor Large crowds gathered and the river was filled with crafts. The Cambridge crew launched their boat this morning for trial row. The crew made several spins in splen- did style. The weather was rough and the water lumpy, and cold east wind blew with a slight fall of sleety snow. The Cambridge crew seemed in good condition, and the bet ting was in their favor at the start, to 1. At Hammersmith bridge Oxford shot three lengths ahead From this point the race was practically won Oxford leading well until the close, Oxford roWed in fine style, unde- tered by the superior strength of Cam bridge.
 This is the fortieth race between the two universities. Oxford has won in twenty-two contests and Cambridge in seventeen. In 1877 it was 8 dead heat. Oxford has been the winner for the last four years. The first race was rowed in 1929. Since 1856 there has been a contest every year. The result of the race to-day causes greater excitement than any previous race has in consequence of the heavy betting on the Cambridge crew, who at the start were the favorites at 6 to 1. The defeat of crew on whom such odds were laid is unprecedented

The spoIintion of Lebanon.

PH1LADELPHIA, March 15.-The trial of Dr. William s. Forbes, charged with conspiring with Frank McNamee and others to rob the graves in Lebanon cemetery, was resumed to-day. Dr. Forbes swore under cross-exam- ination that no bodies were ever admitted to Jefferson college when known to have come from grave yard. The supply was supposed to be obtained by McNamee from the alms- house, house of correction or the morgue. Other testimony showed that Dr. Forbes had nothing to do with the reception of the bod ies, and that the demonstration of anatomy seldom knew the source from which they were obtained. A. J. Drexel, ex-Mayor Fox and others were called to prove the doctors good character. The trial will be continued to-morrow and the case will probably be giv- en to the jury Saturday morning.

Dukes AcquittaI - Great Indignation . Against The JurOrs-The lawyers Ask
 To Have Dukes Barred From Practice
 A Great Indignation Meeting.
 UN1oNrowN, March 15.-The excitement to-day over the acquittal of Dukes was as intense as ever but it was not mani fested by such demonstrations as were made last night. The jurors, when they made their appearance on the street this morn ing, were publicly hissed at at from every corner. The populace yelled as each juror appeared ''Tar and feather him!" ''Hit him with brick !" 'sRide him on a railr' and other terms expressive of indignation and con- tempt. The jurors left town as soon as they could. Dukes has gone to the home of his mother in Germantownship. In court this afternoon Colonel John Collins of the oldest members of the Fayette county bar, whose office is in the same room as that of Dukes, presented the following petition signed by over twenty-five leading lawyers of the county to Judge Wilson:
 To the Honorable Alpheus E. Wilson, Judge of the
 Court of Common Pleas of Fayette county:
 The petition of the undersigned members of the facts lately developed in the trial of the of the commonwealth Ys. Nicholas WymAn Dukes, mem Der of this bar in the Court of Oyer and Termner of the said county prove said Dukes to have been guilty of series of acts unbecoming citizen and member of the bar, infamous in their Character. disgracefui to him as man and subver- sive of the laws of the State and good order and well being of society," and uniting him for association with fair and honorable men of the profession dis qualifying him from receiving the confidence of of integrity and bringing reproach upon himself and upon the profession to which he belongs. We there fore pray honor to make order debarring him the practice of law in the several courts of the said county and striking his from the list of members of said bar, and we wisl ever pray etc.
 ISigned1 JOHN COLLINS AND OTHERS
 An indignation meeting was held this even ing in School Hall to express the sentiments of the people on the acquittal of Dukes. Prominent citizens from all parts of the country arrived on the evening trains and the hall was filled to over1owing. John Brierer Esq, was called to the chair. He stated that the object of the meeting was to give expression to the deep indignation which the people felt over the legal farce that resulted In Dukes acquittal He criticised the action of the jury in clearing Dukes in strong terms. He said the commonwealth was over reached in the beginning by being confront ed with jury that had been tempered with, and that counsel might as well have talked to the wind, for the jury were sworn to &C., quit Dukes It was a foul and bloody mur- der, and the people of this county could not afford to sit still under verdict that would encourage the seduction of their daughters. These remarks were followed by loud ap- plause. The meeting was then organized by the election of long list of prominent men as vice presidents. Resolutions were then adopted which indignantly denounced the jury for their verdict and the meeting ad- journed.

The Secret Inqu1ry-GOvernment Meth
 OGs of Making EvIdence-The Testf-
 mony Carefully Sifted and Shaped.
 DUBLIN, March 15.-The secret inquiry at Dublin Castle is continued daily. Since the beginning of the inquiry witnesses in large numbers have presented themselves and in- deed since the prisoners were arrested there has been superabundance of independent witnesses, all claiming to be anxious to give their testimony and many of them evidently actuated more by desire for contingent wit ness fees than by any ether consideration. system of communicating with the police by anonymous letters has sprung up, the letters being replied to by the police through mys- teriously worded advertisements in newspa- pers. Many of these people have now come forward openly and daily numbers of persons have been examined relative to the Phoenix Park tragedy and other outrages. The crown counsel, however, have sifted these witnesses thoroughly, and those whose testimony is anyway favorable to the prisoners are quick ly dismissed, while it is almost certain that pecuniary considerations have been employ ed to quicken the recollections of others. In consequence of 8 recent publication detailing the circumstances of an interview with Carey orders have been issued prohibiting anyone from seeing Carey except in presence of Superintendent Mallon. Mrs. Carey even finds it difficult to obtain an interview with her husband. He together with the two ap provers Farrell and Kayanagh are in Kill mainham prison. Their food was at first supplied from the establishment which cater- ed for the suspects, but all the provisions now pass through the hands of the police and special precautions are now taken that noth ing poisonous should find it's way in the food intended for the informers. All the prison
 CTS are in good health and spirits except Carey, who is said to be Respondent, and h1s wife it is said has been very anxious about him in consequence of report that two of the prisoners had made 8 statement charging him and his brother with the commission of an atrocious murder solely for the purpose of gain. CareY states that what finally in duced him to give evidence was the absence of Wha1en on one or two occasions from the dock in Kilmainham and the reference to Joe Smith He knew that only one person be- sides Smith could give information that he was in the park on the day in question. Any hesitation he had disappeared when the builder Glynn went into the witness box A message was sent to Glynn conjuring him not to give evidence, but before the message reached him the police got hold of him and obtained that information from him.

None of the parties will give any information as to the circumstances that led to the challenge, but it is reported that 8 fascinating actress is the real cause of the quarrel.
 LATER.-The immediate cause of the pro- jected duel between Columbia college stu dents was a slap in the face administered by Smith to Mahon after the lie had passed between them on the 8th instant. When Mahon attempted to strike back he was held by the bystanders and the next day he sent a challenge.
