close the slowly increasing gap. The Juniors
having obtained the lead and some spare dis
tance, dropped their stroke to 81. At the
turn the Sophomores were about two lengths
astern. The Juniors increased their pace to
40, and made the final squirt at "A, crossing
the line 80 seconds ahead of the Sophomores.
Both crews pulled in good form. The time
of the winning crew was 20 min. 6 sec. The
following is the crew: A. W. Merrill, bow

NEW YORK, May 26.-Assistant District
Attorney Nicol drove hurredly to the police

that he proposes the bribers and the bribed
shall not make him a scapegoat and they
shall enjoy equal privileges with himself for
quiet contemplation.

AsBURY PARK, N. j., May 26.-Fully 1000
persons were in attendance at the American
Baptist Missionary Union here last evening.
The Rev. S. S. Cauldwell, d. D., of Rhode
Island, Chairman of the Convention, deliv-
cred stirring address. The Committee on
European Mission presented its report, which
showed that all but the, mission to Greece
were meeting with success. The committee
recommended that that station be abandoned,
as not one convert was made in nine years.

deaths of foreign missionaries for 1885,
There was considerable discussion over the
report of the European mission, and it was
finally laid over until this morning.
At S.45 this morning the Union opened its
second days session with prayer by the Rev
A. j. Gordon, d. d., of Massachusetts. The
discussion as to the acceptance of the Euro
-pean mission report was again talcAn- up, and
lasted for some time. The report was finally

They Will Not Forswear Their AIIegl-

SALT LAKE CITY, May Polygamists in
the Utah penitentiary, to whom Gov. Wes-
ton, on the 10th inst, proffered his good Of
fees in case they would consent to submit to
the laws, have made formal reply to the
governor, in which they express their graft
tude for the interest he has taken in their
behalf, but maintain their adherence to the
doctrines of their church, believing they
say, in the sacredness of polygamy and in its
divine requirement. They do not wish to be
regarded as defiant to the laws, but will not
forswear their allegiance to the Mormon
church and its doctrines.
