The Cornell crew won a surprisingly hand
some victory over the three-me course at New
London yesterday. cutting the record for this
distance from IA :43 to IA :27 1-2. 10 was not
the favorite crew; which, together, with the
unexpected luck of the Columbia freshman on
Wednesday, will tend to inspirit the Harvard
men for to-day's great contest With record
of five consecutive defeats behind 1t, it is pos
sibe that Harvard needs whatever inspiration
NAV be derived from this circumstance. Yes
terday's race is so overshadowed by to-days
that Cornell is in danger of not getting all the
glory she is entitled to. The Pennsylvania
crew gave her fairly close race. but Column
bias record was as poor as that of her freshman
on the day before was good.

Despite their signal and unprecedented de-
feat in Brooklyn on Monday, the Giants have
demonstrated their ability to play better ball
than the men from the Long Island side of the
East River At the closing game of the pres
ent series they had practically their own way
from start to finish, and Lovett whose pitching
on Monday was superb and kept the Giants
from making even one basehit was unable to
display any of the skill which then won 50 many
plaudits. The NewYork players at their best
arc invincible Their lead, however, is exceed
ingly narrow, and they should feel bound to dc
their best every day.

The canal farce has become stale, fat and
improbable. The committee is slowly pegging
away at its pretence of an investigation, but
even Chairman Mcmahon seems at last to have
seen the thing in its true light, for he absented
himself from yesterdays session. The COM
mittee ought to adjourn sine die without any
more fuss 1t has accomplished its object, so
far as it ever had one and to throw away any
more money upon such burlesque will be both
wanton and wicked.

STREET CARS in EuRops

Fares AFRO Generally Lower Than In the
United States.
81 have just had q long trip through
Europe looking at their street cars, or
tram cars as they are called there, 1"
said a correspondent of the New York
Telegram.
SIN Dublin / found the street railways
under one management, called the
United Dublin Tramway Company. The
cars carry twenty-six passengers inside
and twenty on top, and by a law Of the
Kingdom all public conveyances are
limited to their capacity. When the
seats are full no more passengers are
taken on, and there is none of the
crowding and overlooking we have in
this country. The rails of the Dublin
tramways are grooved and weigh nine
ty pounds to the yard. They are not
laid on ties and sleepers, but in cement
on concrete foundation and are con-
nected with coupling rods. The pave
ment, both inside and outside the track,
is Of granite blocks on a concrete foun-
dation, and the seams between the
blocks are filed with tar and cement,
making the pavement totally impervious
to water. The rails are flush with the
pavement and are kept in perfect re-
pair, so that one might drive over them
with buggy and not know that he was
crossing a railway track. The fare is
one penny, or two cents, for any dis
lance inside of a mile. 1t is horse sys-
tenn, and the speed is between eight and
nine miles an hour. The horses are of
very high grade, as the Government
offers gratuity on every horse coming
up to requirements that makes up the
difference in the prices of a good and a
poor animal. In consideration of this
gratuity the Government reserves the
right to take the horses owned by the
tramway company for cavalry service
in case of war.
''In Belfast and Glasgow the systems
are similar, while Edinburgh and Bir-
mingham have very good cable roads.
In London there is the Highgate Hill
cable road, and all the other roads are
worked by horse power. In November
last a new electric road was opened in
London. The road is what is known as
three or center-rail system, with the
cars drawn by an engine which receives
its power from the central rail, and
electricity is generated from stations at
the end of the road. On this line there
are seventeen trains of three cars each,
which leave the stopping-places at in
tervals of three minutes. The fare Ia
five cents in United States money, and
is paid at a turnstile. The speed is
about twelve to fifteen miles an hour.
paris has electric cars run by the
storage system, and it seems to work
very well. One feature Of the Italian
roads worthy of attention is that there
are two fares-a first-class fare, where
the passengers sit inside, and a second
class, where the passengers stand out
side. The difference in fare is two
cents"

WHAT HARRIS SAYS.
He Does Not Believe His Wife Signed ,
Statement.

He Does Not Believe His Wife Signed a
Statement.
New York, March 23.-Young Harris
said last night of Mrs. Potts's statement
that written statement had been signed
by her daughter in the presence of Drs
Treverton and Hand, in which she &C.
cused Harris of performing criminal
operation upon her:
eff such a statement is in existence
Treverton mnst have used coercion to OBJ
tain it, for even if it were true land it is
most certainly false) the girl would not
have given it otherwise. I never heard
of such thing until to-day. DR.. Hand
was not at home when any operation was
performed.
Mrs. Potts." he continued, s"without
being of the opinion, has still, in a half
frightened way, believed me guilty of
several murders, of which she has writ
ten to my friends. She has even sent let
ters in this strain to my lawyer, Charles
E. Dawson, my brother and my mother.
In the latter one, which was received a
week ago, she accuses me of the murder
of young girl named Williams, which
happened, she says, five years ago at As
bury Park. can easily prove that was
not near there at the time. Her mind ap-
pears to be temporarily unbalanced, and
1T is no wonder. 1 saw her last about
March 1. She then talked of nv respon-
sibility for Helen's death, but when left
her she seemed to be partially convinced
that was not directly concerned in it,"
