strength of the British sqnadrons in
American waters, partly with view to
enforcement of the close period in
the Behring sea, and partly also for an
efficient assertion Of British interest ID
the various complications now existing
on the American continent. The Chilian
troubles have lasted SO long, with no
apparent prospect OF settlement, that
an extra force of British war vessels will
be requi ed in all probability, on the
Chilian coast for several months To
come, while the situation in Hayti and
Venezuela also calls for the watchful
oversight OF English cannon. In addi-
tion to these transitory grounds for in
creasing the naval force in the Atlantic
and Pacific, Lord Salisbury is steadily
bent on increasing the English garrisona
in America and especially in the West
Indies, where the MGR. are kept conve-
nient for service anywhere.

VANCOUVER, B. c., June 27.-Jay
Ewing, American consul here, has sent
in his resignation, and recommends as
his successor Henry Harris, of Wash
ington state, now temporarily q resi-
dent of Vancouver.
Ewing's pronounced anti British views
and his failure to conduct himself in a
manner generally expected of q gentle
man and a diplomat, made him SO un-
popular that he was completely boy
cotted by both business men and society
people. The feeling eliminated in the
circulation of a petition addressed to
Secretary Blaine and asking for the
credit of the United States, that Ewing
be recalled. In less than two hours this
petition was signed by over 5000
residents, including the most prominent
men here in all walks Of life.

Wheat Committee Endeavoring to Show
the Falsity of Oison's Report.
ST.. PAUL, June 27.---When the wheat
steal investigators again met at the capi-
tol, Expert Willet was called to the
stand, and the attorneys spent an hour
II wrangling over the question as to
whether the witness should be allowed
To explain discrepancies between his
work and Olson's in the transcripts of
the elevator books. Mr.. Erwin wanted
TIE expert to step aside and prepare a
s<hedule showing the discrepancies,
Nhile Mr.. Severance insisted that he
snonld make his explanations on the
sand and give the defense an opportu-
MY to show wherein errors were made
10 the work of Olson. Mr.. Erwin
Gained that he was anxious to save the
tine of the committee. Mr.. Severance
sid that he wanted to show that the
schedules prepared by Olson and his
assistants for the house committee were
So incorrect that they could not have
BEN honestly prepared. The report
WIS published far and wide, and the
managers Of the elevators had been re-
cezving letters ever since from the East
era stockholders and their friends ask
ing as TO the truth OF it, and now
hewanted to clear them of the charges.
h Erwin defended Olson, and charged
ti4t the elevator companies had worked
dsg and night to influence the legisla.
fure to suppress the report. He also
charged MIR. Severance with stating
that the old committee submitted the
schedules to the house, knowing that
they were false. Mr.. Severance insinu.
ated that Erwin was attempting to
prejudice him before the committee,
sud denied that he had made any such
statement. Assistant Attorney General
Childs suggested that the committee
either proceed to business or adjourn.
The afternoon session was occupied in
comparing the schedules, with Expert
Willet ON the stand.

LONDON, June 27.-Prince Bismarck's

to his old complaint, lumbago, he now
complains of occasional pains in his
head. His faculties, however, are per-
fectly clear, and he is confident of be-
ing about shortly in as good health
as ever. All his spare time,
when he is able, is given to the arrange
ment of papers that win probably GO
down to history in his memoirs. All
sorts OF rumors are adoat regarding Bis
marck's health, but the above was given
to the United Press correspondent from
a thoroughly well-informed source.

Natives Have No Means of Obtaining Food

SAN Francisco, June 27.-Advices
from the North American Commercial
company's agent on the seal islands are
that up to June 10 the cutter Rush had
not reached the islands and conse-
quently the killing of seals had begun
as the agents felt bound to await the
arrival OF the government inspector.
The agent writes that If tho catch be
limited to $500 seals, the seal meat will
not supply the natives for more than a
a few months and they must be sup
ported by the company. He, therefore
sends . requisition for a large amount
OF supplies, food, clothing and fuel
President Liebes, of the Commercial
company, says: 1--WE shall give the ma
tives good support whether the govern
ment reimburses us or not. We have
chartered the steamer Lakme to carry
1000 toms of food to the islands, and
more will be sent IL needed. None Of
the coal ships have reached Onalaska,
and there is serious need of fuel there. =

Harvard An Easy Winner Over the
Yales - Time 2l:32.
NEW LONDON, June 27.-The great
Yale-Harvard university boat race has
been rowed, and for the sixteenth time
in the history OF the annual event, the
Harvards have won, leaving Yale with
record of eleven out of twenty-seven
contests which have taken place be-
tween the two great rival institutions of
learning and sport. The day was one
Of the finest that could be imagined for
the race. The water showed hardly q
ripple, the sky was cloudless, and q
gentle northerly breeze stirred the
warm June air. Crowds began to line
the water front ut an early hour, and
the streets of the town were soon de-
serted. Enormous prices were demanded
and paid for admission to observation
cars and boats, or to any place well sit
uated for view OF race.
Betting Was In Favor OF Yale,
100 to So being offered in some cases by
believers in the blues. The course was
the usual one of four miles from Win
throp Point to Gales ferry. Harvard
took the lead at the start and heldsit by
fine burst of speed which at once
aroused wild applause among the tens
OF thousands Of spectators. The excite
ment was then real, and in the confu-
sion the steamers which were following
the racers steered wild, and tugs fculed
the press boat, upsetting a number of
the people on board but doing no more
serious damage. The press boat also
had hard luck near the finish. being
obliged to run into the tug America to
avoid collision with the Rhode Island.
No one was hurt, but several passengers
were thrown OFF their feet and all were
frightened.
Harvard Steadily Increased the Lead,
and the excitement and enthusiasm
grew correspondingly. All that was
doubtful after the first mile was how
many lengths the reds would be able to
put between themselves and Yale before
the finish. 1t was one-sided contest
from the start, much to the astonish-
ment of most judges Of rowing, the
opinion having been almost universal
that Yale would win, or at least that
the race would be very close. AT the
finish the din was deafening the throats
Of thousands of sightseers on the
seventy-fve boats and thirty-five rail-
road cars emitting yells Of JOY or disap-
pointment, and scores of whistles belch-
ing forth noisier applause. There was
some delay in announcing the, official
time, which was 81 min. % sec. for
Harvard, and 81 min. 81 sec. for Yale.
Harvard was about eleven lengths ahead
at the finish.

This combination of circumstances in
