THERE was a boat race In London
last Wednesday between the Oxford
and Cambridge crews, and within
one and a half minutes after the first
boat passed the finish line, the result
was flashed over the various tele-

that the result was generally known
over the United States before it wa:
over England. American newspaper

which appears in newspapers would
lose its force and weight if robbed Of
its impersonal nature by appending
the name of the author. There are

made at personal journalism in this

THE Blair Bill was finally laid to
rest in the United States Senate on
Thursday Of last week by a vote of
81 to 81. Granny Blair changed his
vote from aye to nay, in order to
move a reconsideration. Blair has
now introduced a new bill, similar to
the old one, except a reduction in the
amounts TO be appropriated each
year. Biair's folks ought to take
him home now and keep him there.
He has made for himself abundant
notoriety, and has cost the country
quite enough money. The passage
of the bill would have utterly ruined
the public school system ofthe South,
but it is very dead now, and 1t is moi
likely to come up for consideration
again in any shape, at least not fol

LANDS AND BUILDINGS.

Provisions Of Forfeiture Bill-Public
Buildings for Tacoma and Seattle.
WASHINGTON, April 3O.-TSpecial.1 by an
amendment to the land forfeiture bill, all
provision is made that the disputed min
eral lands along the Northern. Pacific are in
no way confirmed. 1t provides that moth
ing in the act shall confirm title to states or
corporations to land excepted by the grant.
Senator Squire again appeared before the
house committee on public buildings and
grounds to-day and made an argument in
favor of having the Seattle and Tacoma
site bills reported at 100000. He was
quite successful. and by one majority the
committee decided to reconsider its former
action and report the bill at the amount
fixed by the senate. As they
now come on the calendar there will be
about 13O ahead of them and the question
of getting them up and considered will be
serious matter. 1t is not at all likely that
any of the Washington building bills will
be passed at the present session, although
Senator Squire is quite hopeful. In his re-
marks to-day he presented Jesse Spaulding's
statistics upon the growth of the Pacific
northwest to show that the buildings were
necessary. At the request of Senator Squire
the attorney general has authorized Mar
shal Winston to secure rooms in Seattle and
Tacoma for the United States court and for
the officers.
The committee on territories to-day de-
cided to report favorably the bill passed by
the senate reimbursing the state of WASH
ington for expenses of holding a constitu-
tional convention.

FOR CRIMINAL LIBEL.

Pulitzer, Cockerill and Other New York
World Men Indicted.
New YORK, April 3o.-The grand jury has
handed in indictments against Joseph
Pulitzer, John A. Cockerill, Julius Cham
bers and James F. Graham, of the New
York World, for criminal libel of ex-Judge
Hilton. The World for some time past has
been publishing sensational articles regard
ing Judge Hilton's relations to the Stewart
estate, and also vague insinuations against
the character of Mrs. Stewart. On the 23d
inst. Judge Hilton wrote District Attorney
Fellows at length, calling attention to these
articles and saying he would not think of
dignifying them by bringing civil suit for
libel. Had they been confined to
libeling hir he should have treated
them with contemptuous silence. "But
when they malign the memory of dear
friends and benefactor whose name was
the synonym for high character, perfect
integrity and unquestioned personal purity,
I owe it to his memory that such shameless
and wanton traducers beside whom the
robbers Of his grave were gentlemen of re-
fnement and character should be brought
to answer at the bar of public justice. It
is with that purpose in view that write
this letter and send these papers that you
may exhibit these libels to the grand jury
for such action as they may deem proper"
Messrs. Graham and Chambers gave bail
this afternoon. Mr.. Pulitzer and Mr..
Cockerill are out of the city on vacation.

PowDERLY INTERVIEWED.

The knights of Labor Have Officially En-
dorsed an EiSht-Hour Law.
SCRANTON, Pa, April 3O.-Gcneral Master
Workman Powderly, of the Knights of
Labor, was asked by an associated press re-
porter tonight for his views on the labor
demonstrations throughout the country to-
morrow. Mr.. Powderly said he had alway g
favored an elght-hour law, although at
some times opposed to methods, advocated
to bring it about. The Knights of Labor
had also endorsed it officially. AS he under
stood it, to-morrow's demonstrations were
to convince the public that tne labor ele-
ment was greatly in favor of shorter hours
for toilers. It had been frequently alleged
that the eight-hour movement was simply
for effect, and that the workmen did not
really favor it. After the demonstration
tomorrow it is to be hoped there will be
NO untrue charges of the kind.
You will see that an eight hour law is the
most righteous when you remember that
man can perform between the hours of s
and u in the morning more labor with inn
plements of the present than two mon could
perform in two days of ten hours each with
implements used 40 years ago. However,
the solution of the whole problem will come
when the laborer shares the profits of his
toll. As he will be then working for him
self, he can labor eight or ten hours as he
may desire.

Labor Day in France.

PARIS, April 9.-The authorities through
out France are continuing their energetic
measures to prevent disturbances to-mor-
row. The police continue ty arrest anarch
lists. Several papers state that the Duke de
Luynes will be arrested in consequence of
the discovery at the residence of the Mar
quis de Mores of papers duplicating him in
a plot of De Mores and friends to proclaim
the duke of Orleans king. Mondaoq. the
private secretary of the Marquis de Mores,
has been released. Two cavalry regiments
have been sent to Vincennes from Fontain-
bleu and Melun.
Floquet, president of the deputies, has
instructed the questor of the chamber to
receive deputatlons of workmen of not more
than five. No deputation from the street
assembly, however, will be received. In ad-
dition to the regular Paris garrison, which
will be held in the barracks Tomorrow,
eight cavalry regiments have been placed
at the disposal of the governor of the city.
Three troops will be stationed at President
Carnot's residence. the legislative chambers
and at other points where disorders are
likely to occur. Meetings on the streets
will not be allowed.

No Trouble Anticipated in the United

CHICAGO, April 30.-To-morrow in Chi
cago will witness huge demonstration of
workingmen in the eight hour cause, under
the joint auspices of the Trades assembly
and Central Labor union. Some of the or
ganized leaders predict that $1,000 people
will march in the procession, but this is
probably an excessive estimate. Conserva-
tive labor mon say at least 10000 laboring
men will be in line. About one hundred
trade organizations will take part. besides
large number of miscellaneous working
men. The parade will form on the west
side and march through some of the princi-
pal streets to the south side and to Lake
Front park, where it is proposed to hold an
enormous outdoor mass meeting with speak
ers' stands at three different points.
Mayor Cregier and four of the county
judges have been asked to speak, but it is
not known whether they will do so. One
novel feature of the parade will be three or
four hundred women and girl tailoresses
who recently organized for the eight-hour
day. They mostly work in small shops in
the northwest section of the city. The line
will be headed by the carpenters and brick
layers, of whom fully 10000 will march.
