Night-The Potomac's Hop.


Night-1'he Potomac's Hop.
The Analostans had out last evening two
fast four-oared crews and two singles. Tho
potomacs sent out the following crews
Eight-oared shell, Wheeler, Thomas, Whit
tington, Ryan, Kennedy, Fraser, Donen, and

Young Kintner, and Brace the four-oared
shell Rifle with Olds, Green, johnson, and
Collins par-oared, Eliot and Moran. Eleven
pleasure boats were also out from their house.
Twelve pleasure boats were out from john
son & Bakers.
Ellis Ward seems to have his whole soul in
the training of the COlumbias, and il they do
not make u good record in the next regatta,
il will neither be from lukewarmness on his
part nor want of attention and hard work on
| the part of the crews.
In advance of the receipt of the invitation
prominent western boat club has notified
the committee of its intention to enter at
least one crew in the Potomac river re-
gatta.
Kennedy has selected his crews for the
eight, senior, junior, and light weight races,
with large reserve to fill any accidental va
cancy. Davis, the trainer of the Analostans,
has also selected his junior and light weight
fours.
THE PoToMAC's HOP.

house last night, and was, as are all of their
entertainments, q delightful affair, an un-
usual large number of ladies being present
and greatly enjoying the dancing on the
splendid ball room floor to the stirring strains
Of Schroeder's band.
The Potomacs certainly deserve the sincere
thanks of the young ladies and gentlemen OF
the two cities who have not been able to
leave the district, for the pleasant entertain
ments provided for them, and especially
deserving of appreciation is the committed

The TeyVksbury AImshouse Butler
 Writes to the Health Board.
 BOSTON, April 25.-The Tewksbury exam ination was resumed to-day. Christian Mueller testified to tanning human skins re- ceived from various scholars and students and pair of uppers for slippers made from woman's skin were shown.
 Frank G. Haverlin, formerly of 156th New York regiment testified to cruelty practiced by nurses On one occasion they dressed an idiotic boy in fantastic garb and frightened one German so that he died soon after. He remembered patient, who had received extreme unction from priest, be- ing taken by the back of the neck and forced along screaming into bath tub. He died SC hours after. Witness said those cruelties had taken place since since last September. He then described the fare given inmates, which was passably good and plenty of it. However he would not go back to TeWks- bury if he could avoidit. Adjourned.
 BOSTON, April Ex-Governor Butler has sent an official communication to the board of health, ,lunacy and charities asking them by what law they appeal to the Attorney General as to whether they ''may" or s'must' obey his directions with reference to the Tewks- bury almshouse as the statute especially excepts that board from asking the opinions of the Attorney General and district attorney. He also asks the assistant attorney general in the absence of the Attorney General the same question. The assistant attorney gen. eral has written to the health board that it is not the province of the Attorney General, but of the Supreme court, to interpret the statute about which they inquire.

The Situation in Zululand A Bitter
 Struggle for Tribal Supremacy.

The Situation in ZuIuland- A Bitter
 Struggle for Tribal Supremacy.
 LONDON, April 25.-The reports of the tribal difficulties in South Africa show con- dition of affairs which is not only sur prise to the government, but which it is feared may ultimately call for government interference. It is doubtful whether Cete- wayo will ever again be the acknowledged head of the Zulu tribes, and if he does it will only be after a terrible struggle, and one which will have cost the lives of many hun dreds of the fighting men and of the ablest of the leaders amongst the chiefs. de- spatch to-day significantly says: ''This con- test for tribal supremacy has been going on now for less than fortnight, but has de- veloped more bitter energy and has cost more lives, bloodshed and destruction of property than occurred during the entire Zulu war in which the English troops were engaged and in which Prince Napoleon lost his life'' The contest is characterized by other despatches as slaughter" The old King Cetewayo has lost little of his personal influence, and his old adherents have 6ocked to him at once, but his long absence has enabled the opposing clements which always existed to concentrate and organize as they could not otherwise have done. The two parties are so nearly equal in strength that something approaching extermination may not be the unlikely result of the war. The opposition to Cetewsyo is centered under Chief Usilefs, who has shewn great deal of military ability, and to whoE, many of the chiefs have already submitted.

That is in pursuance of the objects for which this league was organized President Arthur should be censured for his lack of faith in this matter" I will have to decide again, said the chairman, that this is not the proper subject to be brought before this convention. Therefore it cannot be en- tertained." (Applause.)
 While waiting for the report of the con- mittee MT. Thomas Brennan addressed the convention on the results of the land league in Ireland. Father Conaty of the commit tee, appointed to report plan for the merg- ing Of the conventions, said the committee was in favor of allowing the convention to say whether or not it should carry on it's or ganization in the present form by adopt national league. They, how ever, recommended the adoption of two reso- lut1ons-one endorsing the principles and ob- jects of the Irish national league, and the second, that the delegates attend the conven- tion in body tomorrow and assist in pro noting the union of all Irish patri- otic bodies. The report was formally received. MT. O'Brien, of New York, moved that the convention step from it's platform to that of the Irish national league and that officers be elected tonight so that it might go into the convention an organized body. MT. Brown offered substitute to the effect that the chair appoint 8 committee of seven with power to declare the land league ad journed. After long and spirited wrangling the substitute was de- clared carried by the chair. A roll call was demanded and ordered. Mrs. Parnell voted no when her name was called. The substitute was carried, 181 ayes and 156 noes. Father O'ReilIy, of Michigan, moved to make this action unanimous; carried. MT. Egan expressed entire satisfaction with the decision of the congress.

Once More Divided-Another Failure to Agree in Keuy's Case-The Next Jury to be Drawn to Convict.
 DUBLIN, April 25.-The jury in the case of Timothy Kelly, charged with the murder of Under Secretary Burke, was discharged at seven o'clock to night after having been sent out for the fifth time and having for the fifth time failed to agree, although the court charged directly against the prisoner and the judge, who had previously been in other cases counsel for the crown, acted more like prosecuting attorney than judge. It was evident from the time when the jury went out that an agreement was improbable if not impossible, whatever Kelly's guilt may have been. There was less apparent disposition to believe Carey's comparatively unsupported testimony than in the trial which ended on Friday last and the new evidence which had been expected was not produced and proba- ply does not exist. The last jury stood ten for conviction and two for acquittal, while the present one is understood to have on the final ballot stood eight for conviction and four for acquittal The jury could not there fore have believed the testimony of the if teen witnesses who were produced to pro ve an alibi, while at the same time the very di rect charge of the court did not entirely de- stroy it's value so far as the prisoner was con- cerned. Hanlan, the promised approving witness, was produced, but if it was intended that his testimony should have any real influence in corroborating that of Carey it failed of its purpose It was not directly pertinent and so far as it could have aided the govern ment it's force was destroyed by the vigorous cross examination to which it was subjected. The failure of the case will have serious effect on the Pagan case which was begun at once and on all succeeding cases in which de- pendence is placed on the tssti- mony of these two informers. The people are unwilling to see further est possible difficulty was found in securing new jurors despite the strenuous orders of the court announced in these despatches on Friday and carried out to-day by the impos ition of heavy fines, such as have never in the United Kingdom been imposed for sin1i- lar reasons in so large g number of cases. On the other hand, a court official was to- drawn to convict" Whether he al- luded to the next jury drawn to try Kelly or the jury to try the next of the men accused of the Phoenix Park murders is not stated, but the remark came from a source which rendered it extremely significant. The government is hastening on the trials rapidly as possible. The court has not yet made any order in the Kelly case, but it is believed that 8 third trial will be begun almost at once and the most strenuous efforts will be made to secure a certain con- viction. The officials of the crown have at least no doubt of Kelly's guilt and popular prejudice is not in his favor, although it is strongly against the informers and the meth ods adopted to secure conviction.
