safe, horse and set of harness, ap-
praised at $2,39O The defendants,
heirs of Louisa Torrance, avowed the
taking Of the property under a dis
tress for rent. The avowants were
very numerous, and at the time of the
case, it came out that one of the heirs
had been omitted, and the name of q
party who was not an heir and had
no interest in the suit, had been in.
serted as an avowant, and on motion,
the avowny in these particulars were
amended. But when the distress
papers were offered, the same defect
appeared. In the account, the affi-
davit to it and the warrant, the rame

THE VARSITY BOAT RACE.
Oxford Again Pulls Away from Its An
cient Rival.

| Oxford Again Pulls Away from Its An
cient Rival.
LONDON March so. The great University
boat race was rowed Saturday morning,
Oxford winning by two lengths. The race
was witnessed by large crowds who Incl
the river banks at places from which
they could obtain good view. The
| weather was fine AMI clear, scarcely cloud
specking the sky, with the wind light ani
favorable. The water was calm and smooth,
not ripple breaking its surface. A more
favorable day for a race could not be wished
for. These conditions were viowed as very
favorable to the Oxford crew, t heir oppo-
nents, it being the general belief, standing a
better chance with tho weather less pro-
pitious.
As it was, the race was closely contested
throughout, and those who predicted a COM
parative walk-oven for the Oxfords were
very e realty surprised at the manner in
which they were pushed all the way
through. The start was made at ex-
actly 1926. both crews taking the water
simultaneously, and both pulling a steady
stroke. The Oxonians pulled tie stronger
oar, and in the first few strokes
lad just perceptible lead, which they soon
increased to nearly a halt-boat's length, but
squirt by Cambridge just before reaching
the quarter-mile buoy cut down this lead,
and at that point both We're even. The Ok
onians soon took the lead again, their steady,
powerful sweep telling on Cambridge slowly
but surely, and gradually increasing their
lead. Before Hammer5mith bridge was
reached, some wild steering on the part of the
coxwain of Cambridge enabled the Oxonians
to further increase their lead, and at the
bridge they had fully boats length of clear
water between them. Cambridge spurted
repeatedly in an effort to cut down this lead,
but without avail, the Oxonians not only
maintaining their vantage, but finishing
fully two lengths ahead Of Cambridge, amid
the wild and enthusiastic cheering of their
admirers. Oxford was the favorite in the
betting at heavy Oods

THE POsTAL-TELEGRAPH REPORT
Withheld from Distribution Because Of
Alleged Unauthorized Contents.

Withheld from Distribution Because Of
Alleged Unauthorized Contents.
WASHINGTON CITY, March 3O.-Quite a
stir has been created at the capital over an
appendix to the report from the senate COM
mittee on postoffices and post-roads contain
ing testimony, etc., relating to the subject
Of postal telegraphy. The appendix re-
prints extracts from various newspapers
crlticising the election reports distributed by
the Associated Press last fall. The present
chairman Of the committee, Conger, has issued
instructions to the superintendent of the doc
uuent room not to permit any Of the re-
ports to go out, which instructions are con-
sidered remarkable from the fact that the
committee which investigated the subject
Of postal telegraphy expired March 4. The
point OF obj 3ctionto the distribution of the
matter appears to lie in the fact that the order
authorizing it to be printed was made by the
senate on May 90, 1884, while the document
did not issue from the government printing
office until a few days ago, and was
found toi contain matter prepared
during the election last fall The insertion
Of that matter is defended by the assertion
that the supplementary matter bore directly
upon the ST. ject Of the report, but was not
published until after the order to print was
made, and was added as an appendix,
together with series of inter.
rogatories made by the committee to
the president Of the Western Union Tele-
graph company to which answer had never
been received. 1t is also asserted that the
order to print granted by the senate did not
limit the time in which the report should be
printed, nor indicate he scope Of the matter.
The work Of preparing the report seems to
have been delayed until the newspaper ex-
tracts appeared during the election, and
they were collected Incorporated in the
document and finally sent Nv to the
public printer through the regular
channels, from whom they did not emanate
in printed form until the senate committee
on postofices was reorganized under this
congress This committee, therefore, claims
jurisdiction in the matter on the ground
that it did not finally appear until after the
expiration of the last congress- Great pres
sure is being brought to bear on the com
mittee for the suppression of thu
that they will ultimately be successful
Another statement is to the effect that the
report consists of FIVE pages of questions is

press comments, and that Hill, the chair.
man of the committee who is asserted to be
responsible for theinclusion of these COM
ments, had no right, under the authority
conferred upon the committee, to SO include

days after he had ceased to be member of

Ansry Anti-Probibitionists

SIOUX CITY, Iowa, March 30.-An angry
crowd was gathered at the depot her Satur,
day morning on the arrival of the Illinois
Central train. A report has been circu-
lated about town that Congressman Struble,
whose home is at Lemars, was coming
to Sioux City by that train, to take
legal steps for the enforcement here of the
prohibitory liquor law. Mr.. Struble was
not on the train which is regarded as for.
tunate by many who apprehend that vic.
lence would have been offered him. An effort
is being made at Lemars to enforce the law
there, and MI. Struble's law firm is retained
by the Citizens league.

Pensions Must Take Their Turn

WASHINGTON CITY, March 30 -Commis-
sioner Black has issued the following circu-
lar: ITO advance any one pension claim out
of its order is to retard, by so much, the ad-
justment Of thousands of others which
precede it in the order of filing.
To prevent the practice of fraudulent
fmpositions upon the pension Office, it
is announced that no claims will be made
special-that is, taken sut of their order for
expedition-unless such reasons are shown
in writing as viii, in the Judgment of the
commissioner, warrant such action. Mere
statements of claimants themselves, uncor-
roborated by those Of disinterested per-
sons, will not be deemed sufficient to war
rant such special action"

Afghanistan until the boundary should be
defined by the International commission ap-
pointed several months ago for that pur-
pose. M. de Giers now replies that he has
read the communication OF his lGSdship,
Earl Granville, with great attention and re-
spect; that it contains valuable sug-
gestions as to the preservation of peace
between the two countries which
Will be most carefully weighed
by Russia, and that reply to such an ad-
mirable letter cannot be written hastily,
but he promises that q formal reply shall be
delivered at London not later than next
Tuesday unless unforeseen emergencies
should arise. Most people think this a sub.
terfuge to gain time, and that Russia will
not give satisfactory answer Tuesday or
any other time.
Nothing new is known concerning Anglo
Russian complications. The newspapers
hint darkly at startling developments that
may be made public at any hour, and gem
oral atmosphere of uneaSiness still prevails.
Much satisfaction is felt over the interview
of Lord Dutfsrin with the amesr Of Afghan
istan
The excitement the past few days has
almost entirely sinmsred down, It has
given place to a more sober feeling, yet the
under current is such as to leave no doubt
that a passage at arms with Russia is
confidently expected. The intense bitterness
of the psople against Russia is reflected i'll
many ways. In army and navy circles
the war spirit is predominant. Prominent
army officers say that they would greet
declaration of war against Russia with joy
and freely express the hope that it will not
be long deferred. A spirit of enthusiasm
raraly, il ever, equaled prevails at the mil
itary centers over the prospect Of a conflict.
The consensus OF opinion is that the worst
will be known by Wednesday of next week,
but no reason is given for this belief other
than The Globe article of Friday.
The usually pessimistic and generally
well-;nfolmad correspondent of The
Daily Telegraph at Vienna Friday morning
sends the following:
Notwithstanding the news that the re-
serves have been called out, nobody here be-
lieves in war. In some quarters peace is
considered certain because Russia is not pre-
pared for war; while in others it is believed
the English government itself is bent on
maintaing peace at any price"
