The Socialist Meeting in New York Not
Mob.

New YORK, April THE meeting Of
the Socialistic Labor party, called to dis
cuss the Cincinnati riots at Cooper Insti-
tute last Saturday night, was a disap-
pOintment TO those that had looked for
incendiary speeches and a possible riot.
The afternoon papers told everybody that
the police authorities expected a riot and
were to be prepared. They were pre-
pared At six o'clock a squad of the re-
serve force began marching towards po-
lice headquarters, only q few blocks dis
tant from the hall, until hundreds of pO-
liclmen were assembled there. When
the hall was opened l25 or more
blue coats dotted it and scores
Of detectives in plain clothes In an
other room Of the Cooper Institute was
another squad. Three thousand Social
lists assembled and listened to five
speeches in English and German from
leading labor agitators. The tenor of all
the remarks was deprecatOry Of riots as
u means for procuring labor rights. The
baIlot-boX was to be the means, SAID all.
The speakers poked no end Of fun at the
policemen. The keynote was struck
when one said that the police demonstra-
tion was due to the fact that the place of
| superintendent Of Police was liable soon
to be vacant and each policeman in town
| hoped to get it, "To get it, said one
speaker, "any policeman would willingly
| Kill 100 of us"
Clear-headed citizens think that the po-
lice authorities got up all the agitation in
order to divert attention from the fierce
| investigation that is now being made in
the police department The investigation
is very damaging to the department, and
they think evidently something should be
done. None Of the best known agitators
were present, neither Schwab nor Herr
Most nor John Swlnton came. Some
women and children were present.

A Close Race of Four Miles, Won by
Barely Two Boats Lengths
Putney to Mortlake.


LONDON, April 7.-Disagreeable weather
greeted the Overwhelmingly crews this
morning when they met on the Thames
to row the annual university race for
the championship. Rain was falling
heavily, but the wind was light. There
was less interest in the race than for
years and the crowds were smaller.
The crews appeared at nine o'clock,
and were loudly applauded. The betting
was in favor Of Cambridge. The course
was from Putney to Mortlake, dis
lance of four miles and two furlongs.
When the crew had taken their places
the umpire asked: care you ready?"
"Aye, aye, they answered. "Then go."
and the crafts sped away, oxford rowing
thlrty-iour strokes, and Cambridge thirty
six. 1t soon began to tell on the former
who gradually fell to the rear from the
| front At llammersmith Cambridge was
| leading by a length. When Mortlake Sig
nal was passed, the crews rounded the
| point below Barnes Bridge and imme-
diately after the boats came in view and
Cambridge passed the winning point two
lengths ahead, The cheering was dealen-
! ing.
LONDON, April The annual boat race
between the oxford and Cambridge Uni
verSity crews occurred this morning over
the regular Thames course, four miles and
two furlongs, from Putney to Mortlake.
The weather was very unpropitious, as
the air was filed with drizzIing rain. A
heavy mist oyerhung the river, while the
water was decidedly choppy, But few
spectators were present. The Cambridge
crew was the layorte from the start, and
they won an easy victory.

was to induce the pair TO talk freely. The
Express Company has concluded the eX-
animation Of the books aud compiled
list OF the money conSignments made to
this city for several days previous to the
robbery. 1t has been positively asccr-
tanned that between $4,000 and 1900
is still missing,
The object Of the numerous interviews
has been TO induce the prisoners to reveal
the accomplice holding this amount, or
the place where it is hidden. McFaddcn
has won for himself the name of being an
expert liar, and is losing favor with the
Express Company. Since his incarcera-
ton he has sent the cOmpany's agents on
several wild goose chaseS, and calmly adj
mitted the hoax when charged with it,
An understanding, however, has been ar
rived at during the past week on Mead
denis suggestion. He said that he had
no intention of pleading guilty to the rob-
berry, and that he proposed to do what he
could to keep himself out of the Peniten-
tiary. In furtherance Of the defensive
plan it was necessary for him to have an
attorney, and he has retained Mr.. J. j.
Mcbride.
1t is also reported that McFaddcn has
agreed to turn over SS,OOOof hidden cash
10 the company on the condition that the
company will allow him 81 800, which he
want, to use on his trial. The company,
it is said, has accepted the offer as the
best one they could get from the young
glass ChcWcr
