CHARLESTON, February 1.-The excite
ment in political circles to day almost en-
tirely swallOwed up is interest in the
Legislature in spite CT the fact that the
school book bill was on its second read
Ing in the Sera,e and the leaders on the
onslaught on the presen. law were on
hand and anxious. 1t was impossible to
get the House to do anything, and the
measure remains in practically the same
position az it did yesterday. Nothing
will be dOne now probably unit! after
after Tuesday, and the chances are very
slim for the pas sage of the bill.
In the Senate, Gov. Wilson's election
bill wns taken up and amended in several
unimportau. particulars. The second sec
ond reading Of the bill was rot completed,
however. and its chances csn not be con-
sidered very bright. Several other meas
ures we're advanced 90 the legislative road
but none we're ofespscial importance.

Cornell CutTows Pennsylvania in
the Three Mile Race.

NEw LONDON, Conn, June 70. The
Cornell University crew today defeated the
University of Pennsylvania crew on q
three mile course. The fast was due largely
| to strong ebb tide running with the crews.
The race was very quiet and nnirterest-
ing, especially after the first half mile,
There was long and annoying delay in
starting and it WAS dusk before the crews
finally got away. At the word Penn
sylvsnia caught the water first aud stole
nearly a length on Cornell, the latter.
boat not being headed straight. Pennsyl-
vania started eli with 33 strokes and Cor
nell was pulling 40. Both crews were
on even terms after the first quarter. then
both crews spurted and Pennsylvania ran
up to ~ and Cornell a.
This was decisive and the only interest
ing part Of the race. Pennsylvania held
the place until exactly opposite the frs,
half mile flag. Pennsylvania could no,
keep up the spurt and dropped To SO, Cor
nell rowing 40 moving quickly to the front
soon showed clear water between the two
shells. The Pennsylvania crew then went
to pieces and gave very poor exhibition
of rowing. Each man appeared to be pull
ing on his own time. Opposite the navy
yard Cornell having lead of two lengths
dropped their stroke to sc. and Pennsyl-
vanis dropped to 80.
After passing the mile flag, Pennsylyanis
improved somewhat. and between the one
and two mile flags the crews pulled nearly
stroke for stroke, Cornell gradually increas-
ing her lead to 3 l-2 lengths. Entering the
last half both crews spurted. In doing so
Cornell caught two crabs in quick success
sion, thereby losing nearly boat length.
Recovering they put on a strong spurt and
increased the lead. crossing the line six
lengths in advance OF the Pernsy lvania crew.
Pennsylvania made fairly good start at the
finish but their stroke had lost its effect
iveness. Official time, Cornell, |, min. i3
sec, Pennsylvania. 8 min. 02 sec. AN un-
usually large crowd saw the race.
