A Splendid struegle-Nip and Tuck Until
the Finiah.
NEw LONDON. Conn.,. June 27.-As usual.
great throngs Of people congregated today
to see the annual four-mile straight-away
cight-oared she'll race between the Yale
and Harvard crews. Yale won by three
and . half lengths. in q 20; Harvard, II 40.
This IS Yale's fifth successive victory. and
the record now stands in the four mile
races Yale Q, Har ward 6. For three miles
the race was one of the finest struggles
ever seen on the Thames. At no time
in this distance was either crew
able TO get . decisive lead. and during that
time Harvard had q slight lead twice.
Yale. however, by grand squirting and
staying qualities. quickly recovered
first position by = small margin.
After passing the third mile flag
Harvard's stroke seemed Il lose some OF
its effectiveness. which, with . perceptible
roll TO their shell md three or four slight
sverves by the coxswain, caused the Har-
ward boat to drop slowly hut
surely astern. Yale finished with a
strong stroke, Keeping up their long
steady swing, with almost faultIess
precision, crossing the line and resting on
their oars without the slightest sign of dis
tress. while in the Harvard boat at least
three men clearly showed the effects of
their determined efforts.
The Columbia-H Harvard freshman race
was rowed in the dark and proved
a rather unsatisfactory affair. The
race was two miles and the
referee gave it to Columbia by half q
length, their time being 1854. In the last
half mile it is stated . steamer ran across
the bow Of the Harvard boat so near Is to
interfere with their work.

The Mississippi River Commission and the
local boards in the states lying in the lower
Mississippi region are the responsible leaders
in any movement looking to a check of the
tremendous flood that is pouring upon that
portion Of the Union. Most Of the funds ex-
pended heretofore have been expended by the
parish levee boards. But in the emergency at
present existing the Commission is the main
dispenser of aid, because it is prepared to act
with greater decision and is supposed to have
large funds at its command. The truth is, as
stated by an officer in New York incharge
of the headquarters last night the Com
mission has not more than $500 remain

S4O0,0OO for levees made in September,

Chief Of the Commission. is a distinguished
engineer OF the army. From the head waters
of the mighty river to the Head Of the Passes
at its mouth the plans for operations of the

under the control of this Commission. BY the

Commission to prepare and submit the esti-

War. The Mississippi, its affiuents and region
OF country adjacent to them comprise about
Zoo, 900 square miles, or two-thirds of the area
OF the United States.

The bill which the Pennsylvania railroad in
dicated to the railroad committee Of the board
of trade that il would frame has been intro
ever by way of concession to the public.
1t contains not a whisper of q
willingness to sink and bridge its tracks, or TO
remove q single grade crossing, or to withdraw
a foot from the mall, or to surrender an inch
of its Illegal holdings Of public property. It
retains the surface tracks with free right of
way on the public streets, and the occupation
of free station site on the reservation. 1t pro-
poses that in addition to retaining these gifts
its lawless acts in seizing public property
IN the shape of streets or reservations and
in occupying them with illegal tracks be legal
lied, that the power OF authorizing it to lay
additional tracks which the Supreme Court
has decided to be exclusively in Congress be
delegated by that body to the Commissioners,

South Washington be granted. These modest
requests should be considered in connection
with such projects for the improvement of the
railroad occupation as that proposed by the
Morrill, bill Limited power of condemnation
and the right to reach the condemned property
by tracks ought to be granted to the railroad,
in order that it may enlarge its freight facili-
ties, but by the same legislation the illegal en-
croachments of the road should be checked
and thus indirectly condemned. the tracks
should be sunk and brdged, and the station

The Olsen lynching case in Wisconsin
ended, as it should have ended, in the sentence
Of the lynching party. 1t is pity the chief
actors were not given the extreme punishment
provided by the law. But the ringleader
saved his neck by turning states evidence and
goes to life Imprisonment along with the
murdered mans widow and stepson and another
person. Thirty persons were fined SEQ each
for riotous conduct. Additional facts remove
all the elements Of justification for the murder
of Olsen which the first accounts furnished.
Ills family were worse than he and in his last
moments he showed great spirit under appall-
ing circumstances. The hangman on the night
of the lynehing afterward ofhciated as foreman
of the coroner's jury, which, of course, was Or
ganized to oetray justice.
