THE LAST STRAW.

The Back of the "Agreement Among
Gentlemen" in Danger of Being Broken
? by the Last Straw Laid Upon L by the
Baltimore & Ohio, and u Freight War
Imminent.
BALTIMORE, Md. July Recommending
upon the reduction in freight rates made
by the Baltimore & Ohio road, which goes
into effect o-day, Hambleton Circular
says: The cut in grain rates by the Bal
timore & Ohio was the last straw which
threatens to break the back of the 'agree-
ment among gentlemen" The cut rate is
seventeen cents from Chicago to Balti-
more, and eighteen to Philadelphia.
Whether the step taken by the Baltimore
& Ohio is wise one remains to be seen.
If the Baltimore & Ohio is permitted
to carry freight at a reduced rate
without the reduction being met
by other lines, it would, OF course,
secure very large traffic, and enjoy an
advantages; but it is not to be pres umed
that such will be the case, as more than
likely the other roads will make such
sweeping reductions as that only the fit
test will survive. One would suppose
the Baltimore & Ohio would be about the
last road to take any action which might
precipitate a railroad war. The last
tried the experiment Of
taking independent action" which poll
icy was SO disastrous as to bring the Bal
timore & Ohio to the verge of bankrupt
cy, from which it escaped only by ap-
pealing to the Drexel- Morgan Syndicate
for aid and by paying dearly for the
assistance rendered.

a TRIP TO AFRICA.

Arranging the Details of the Scientific
Expedition to Africa to Observe the
Eclipse of the Sun December I'll Next
A Man-of-War will Convey This Party
of Peace.
WASHINGTON, July 6.-The com mittee
appointed by the Secretary of tho Navy,
to arrange for the scientific expedition to
Africa next fall to observe the elipse of
the sun, December 81 next, held a locet--
ing at the Navy Department recently.
The conference consisted of John Wall
ter, Commander in Chief of the Bureau
OF Navigation; Captain Phythian, Super
intendent of the Naval Observatory:
Prof. Hall, of the Naval Observatory, and
Prof. Newcomb, Superintendent of the
Nautical Almanac office.
1t was decided to divide the expedition
into two parties-one under Prof. Todd,
of Amherst College. and the other under
Prof. Jos. Russell, of this city, both to
leave this country about October / in a
man-of- var. Both will go first to St.
Paul de Loanda, on the west coast
Africa. and will then separate, going into
two different camps. The idea at the
Navy Department is that the United
States ship Baltimore will be selected for
the trip. She will be tried within a,
month, and will undoubtedly be ready
for sea by October. In case of an acct
dental delay, the Richmond will probably
be selected. The Baltimore will not have
her guns on board for at least year, but
that fact need not bar her from the scieu-
tific expedition.

WON BY a Squirt.

PHILADELPHIA, July Cd
contest for the Chi1ds cup ooK plaeB
Yesterday afternoon ON the Schuylkili
river and the Cornell eight were the VIC
tors, The distance was one and half
miles straight away and the only other
competitor for the trophy was the un1-
versity Of Pennsylvania eight. The race
was the most remarkable ever rowed
over the course, and the Cornells won it
in the last one hundred yards after the
spectators had made up their minds that
the Pennsylvaniaus would win. Inc
water was very high, owing to recent heavy
rains, and the current was very strong.
The start was made at sos p. M, and be-
fore the Cornells had taken half dozen
strokes swell struck their boat, drench-
ing the oarsmen, throwing them out OF
stroke and giving the Pennsylvanians
lead of nearly two lengths. Cornell also
shipped IS or 100 pounds OF water which
they carried over the course.
The Ithaca men quickly gathered them
selves and pulled a quick, steady stroke
of 40 to their opponents's 80. Attne half
mile the Pennsylvania led by about two
lengths. and at the mile their lead was
unchanged. At the one-and- a-quarter--
mile post Pennsylvania led by only a
length. The relative positions were
maintained until within hundred
yards of the finish, when the Cornells
made one of the grandest spurts ever
witnessed on the Schuylkill, and won by
QUE quarter of a length. Time. 6:40;
University's time, 6:40k.
Courtney, who has charge Of the Cor
nell crew, ran along the foot path the
last half mile of the race, coaching and
shouting words of encouragement to his
crew. The finish was witnessed by great
crowds on both banks who greeted the
victors with hearty cheers. Courtney
was very enthusiastic over the finish. He
had almost given up hope OF his crew
winning, the University seemingly hav--
ing the race in hand, but the Cornells'
grand squirt at the finish to which the
UNIVERSITIES were unabls to respond.
changed the complexion of things and,
gave them an unexpected victory.
