The Opposition Of the Scotch Member
Will Probably Defeat Him.

Special Cable Dispatch TO THE EVENING STAR
LONDON, April 3.-That Gladstone is riding
toward defeat" is at least the opinion held by a
majority pfthose who are not bound to the opti-
mist views The sensation of the week has been
the sudden adoption by several leading Scotch
papers of an attitude of opposition TO his
scheme SO far as il is understood. The Scotsman
began 1t, and other prominent journals fol-
lowed, taking the line previously advocated by
the Pail Mall Gazette. that the first step toward
nome rule must not exceed the powers OF an
American state, Mr.. Gladstone insisting on
comforting independence like that CT Canada or
Australia Without the assistance OF the scotch
members, success is utterly impossible. learn
on the highest authority that Gladstone refuses
to alter his scheme, and declares that he will
Introduce it on April Sth, at whatever
cost. l know, however, that there were
rumors among the ministers yesterday of q
possible postponement of the date. If Glad.
stone persists defeat seems inevitable, although
prophecleS OF Giadsrones defeat have so often
been falsihed by his overw helming incalculable
personal influence. The Irish members profess
confidence of the result, but they stand to win in
any case, for GladStone's speech will be vindi-
cation OF home rule. They probably are in no
great hurry To assume the tremendous re-
sponsibiities awaiting them. AS they are
about TO triumph, either in theory or fact, their
elation is natural. Every one else feels the
greatest anxiety and uncertainty. Nine out of
ten members of the liberal rank and file cannot
be induced to express the shadow OF an opin-
ION. There is no light from any quarter mean
time.

LONDON, April 3.-The annual University
boat race between the Oxford and Cambridge
crews was rowed this afternoon over the usual
course on the Thames river. from Putney 70
victory Tor Cambridge. The sky was cloudy.
the weather mild, and the wind pretty strong
a the start and during the race. The water
test the stamina OF the men engaged I'm the
contest The betting was I'm favor OF the CAM
crowded, thousands OF persons making OF the
race an event for a holiday. Yankee enter
prise entertained the sightseers almost as
athletes. An American manufacturing conl-
pany sent mp several hundred small balloons
wares, and offered some OF them free 10 finders
OF the balloons. There was consequently great
rushing among the immense crowds 60 secure
palloons as they came To the ground. The sport
occasioned by the whole affair was great and
Understandable. Amid all this jollity a large
gang OF rough and ill-clad men appeared on tie
scene as IL 10 remind the holiday makers that
there were some Englishmen who were incapas
oie OIL enloying themselves. These marched In
band and bearing banner calling attention
To the distress prevailing among the unem-
ployed workmen of England, and CONTAINING
the inscription, You live, we starve."
A MAGNIFICENT RACE
Just ut the start the sun broke through the
clouds and gave a spell OF bright weather, dur.
ing which the wind moderated. Oxford won
In the toss for choice OF stations, The boats
were started even. and were kept so by fine
course for about mile. Then the Cam
bridge boat was pulled few feet ahead.
The Cambridge men made several desperate
spurts To get away from their competitions, but
the latter responded successfully. The
contest continued stubborn and fairly
even up TO the two-and-a-half mile point
Here Oxford spurted and passed Cambridge by
few feet The Cambridge men responded To
the "bravos" by work which gradually sent
their boat mp even with that OF Oxford,
and the very height of the struggle
was reached. The boats were kept
even until Barnes bridge was passed. Here
neither crew had any visible advantage. IL
seemed inevitable that the race would end in
a tie, Tor the men in both crews appeared all
strong and well preserved and evenly
matched in all respects that nothing but an
accident could give either side an adv antage.
But near the finish the Cambridge men were
able 10 add one more squirt TO their long sus-
tanned pull, and il moved their craft, at a
strokes To the minute, a few feet ahead and
they passed the limit almost half length I'm
advance, winning one OF the greatest
races ever rowed over the course.
The excitement at the close was thrilling. AZ
no point during the entire race had IL been pos
siole for either crew TO get more shan half q
length ahead OF its rival.
The race is everywhere pronounced the great.
est ever pulled on the Thames since the dead
neat oil 1877. The length OF the course was four
miles and two furlongs.
