The man who was putOn board the Itata
as deputy Marshal OF tie United States
WAS a private detective, who went down
from an agency in San Francisco. This de-
tective agency was employed by the repre-
sentatiyeS OF BalmaCeda in this country.
While the Itata was cOaling dispatch came
directing that she be held. The United
States Marshal then wrote on a letter head
of the hotel where be was staying an order
for the private detective mentioned before

went on board, but never took
formal possession OF the ship. Furthermore
the instructions Of the United States
Marshal were to detain the vessel and not
seize her II the Itata had violated any
law of the United States it is ia sailing

CUTTING FARES.
Result Of Rulings by the Western FaS-
S0ng0r Association.

CHICAGO, June 25.-The dispute between
Chairman Finley of the Western Passenger
A ss0ciation and the Chicago and Alton
Railroad eliminated to-day In ruling
which will probably disrupt the association.
The Alton some time ago reduced st. Louis
rate to meet secret cuts. After some con-
sideratiOn Finley ordered all the lines to
restore the rates, but the Alton, asserting
that others were not acting in good faith,
refused and Finley fined the company $500,
which they declined to pay. Then
the Alton asked authority to reduce
the rate to st. Louis, Kansas City and Dem
yer to meet the secret cutting. Finley
to-day in his ruling declined. He
said the Alton by its past con-
duet virtually forfeited all right
to protection. This virtually reads the Al
ton out OF the association. Many railroad
men are OF the opinion that Finley ex.
ceeded his authority. The Alton will now
act independent of the association, and
legal notice will be given tomorrow OF lis
intention tO reduce rates between Chicago
and Denver from $50 60 to S25; Chicago and
Kansas City, S12 90 to $40; Chicago and St
Louis, 81 80 to So.
Quite a sensation was caused today by
the announcement of tile Burlington road
that it will Immediately resume the pay
ment Of passenger commissions in Eastern
territory, the reason given being that it has
not received the protection guaranteed by

CORNELL Won.
The Inter Collegiate BOat-RaC0 on the
Thames River.

NEW LONDON Comm, June 25.-One of
the most exciting races ever rowed on the
Thames River took place this afternoon over
the three mile course between Cornell Unit
yerslty of Pennsylvania and Columbia Uni
versity light-Oared crews Cornell won after
a hard contest in the fast time of IA minutes
27b seconds, University of Pennsylvania
second by four lengths, time IA As; Columbia
was n bad third, being five lengths behind
the Pennsylvania crew ard eight lengths
behind Cornell. Cornelrs time establishe'
a new record, the previous best time being
Il 43, over the same course by the same
crew last year. The surprise of the day
was the unexpected poor showing made by
the Columbia crew. The feature was the
remarkably close race between Cornell and
Pennsylvania, each of the crews holding
the lead at times before the first mile had
been rowed, and for two miles it was inn
possible 10 name the winner. The con-
ditiOns for fast time were excellent.
AN EXCITING RACE.
The water was smooth; a strong current
was running, and the wind also assisting.
Penn sylvania got the best of the start, aud
their boat jumped in a few feet to the front,
with Cornell second, while Columbia, be-
sides making poor start, seemed to lose al
every stroke. In the first ten or twelve
strokes COrnelGS boat shot up even Win
Pennsylvania, and for an eighth of a mile
they were 50 close that tue lead could not be
fairly credited 10 either crew. Nearing the
half-mie flag Pennsylvania forced nearly
half a length ahead of Cornell, with Colum-
bia two lengths behind, and hopelessly out
of the race. About three quarters of mile
from the start Pennsylvania increased their
lead to nearly length. Cornell mere made
a grand effort, and gradually crawled up
lOngSide Of Pennsylvania, and as the boats
neared the mile flag was on even terms with
Pennsylvania.
A CLOSE FINISH.
From the one-mie 10 the two-mile flag the
race between Cornell and Pennsylvania was
most exciting. 1t was the decisive point OF
the race. The Cornells worked like beavers
to obtain the advantage, and the Pennsyl-
VaniaS worked fully as hard to save them
selves from defeat. AT the two-mile flag
Cornell showed clear OF the Pennsylvania
bow, with Columbia hve lengths behind
Pennsylvania. Pennsylvania here made
another effort 10 regain the lead, and sue
ceeded in tapping CornelPs bow, but the
effort was too much, and Cornell, responding
to a final CALL hit their strokes up to forty
one and ran away from Pennsylvania.
finishing a strong winner, with Columbia at
rear of the procession. Cornell has now
won thirteen straight races.

the bandits and the police each getting half.
