so hotly contested as the one now proceed
Ing in this country. Party feeling is so en-
bitteTed that open conflicts are pre- ented
only by the restraints of the jadicious sys-

procedure. Enormous sums of money are
Icing spent by both Conservatives and Lib

bribery act. The Socialist and Labor can
didates are thinning out To-night's list
presents 33, seven of whom have no chance
of success, and their only aim is to spoil
the chances Of the Liberals opponents.
The labor question is the front plank in the
platform of the Liberals and Conservatives
alike. The Conservatives are outbidding in
extent of the social programme. The trades
unions are suspicious Of the Conservative
pledges and continue to favor the Liberal
candidates. No new factor has appeared

He Telegraphs Refusing to Allow His
Name to BE Presented.
OMAHA, July Judge Gresham has at
last been heard from, and has defined his
position regarding the proposed nomination
for the Presidency by the Peoples party.
Chairman Scott OF the Iowa State Central
Committee of the Peoples party, yesterday
sent dispatch to Judge Gresham asking
him if he would stand for the Presidency
ON the st. Louis platform as the candidate
Of the Omaha convention. Gresham re-
piled by telegraph this evening as follows:
II stand by my interview of few days
ago on this subject. My name will not be
presented TO the Omaha convention" The
interview to which Gresham refers Is the
one in which be stated that he agreed with
the Peoples party on many things, but not
in all its declarations. The telegram is
interpreted as meaning that he cannot stand
on the St Louis platform. Gresham's tele-
gram is generally accepted as being an ex-
preston OF his sincere desire in regard to
the matter.
A few Of the more enthusiastic Gresham
men are still disposed to believe the Judge
will accept the nomination if it Is rendered
TO him, but these gentlemen appear TO be
In hopeless minority, and the indications
tonight are that General Weaver will be
the Presidential nominee. While he has
expressed that his first choice is Gresham,
Weaver does not deny that he stands pre-
pared TO make the campaign ia case he is
selected.
Ben Terrell of Texas is prominently
mentioned tonight in connection with the
Vice-Presidency.
Nj. Ii. Slater, the free-coinage apostle.
with s. q. Nixon of Nevada have opened a
silver league headquarters. Slater claims
that 40, coo members of the Colorado League
are pledged TO support no man except
ha fOr fraa
and that the party can carry Colo
RADIO. Slater thought that Senator Morgan
of Alabama would be the best selection for
the convention.
A committee which called on Judge
Gresham in Chicago to ask him to ACCEPT
the Peoples party nomination for tps the
Presidency has issued a card in which 1t is
held. because lie did not say to the COM
mittee in plain terms that he could not ac-
cept the nomination, that he will accept if
nominated.
VALPARAISO. Ind, July IN. J..
BoZarth, the Peoples party candidate for
Supreme Judge, says he has received posi-
tive assurances from the Indiana State
Central Committee that Judge Walter Q
Gresham has promised to make the race
for President as the nominee of the Peo-
pies party. The Judges SOD, Otto said :
Il know no reason why father should not
accept the honor were it rendered him.
lie Is believer in most OF the doctrines of
the new party. Still cannot say authori-
tatively whether the nomination will be
offered or accepted"
WASHINGTON, July 1.-Senator Stewart
said to-day that the report that he had sent
a special messenger TO Omaha with q plat
form on which he would accept the nomina-
tion for Presd dent by the third party con-
ventiou was incorrect. He said General A.

statements and opinions of the Canadian

TO favor the export trade from Canadian

Canadian reply as whole fails TO meet the
just complaints of the United States.

The Inter Collegiate BOatraces at New
London.

New LONDON. July This has been a
Yale week with Yale finish. On Tuesday
there was the baseball victory over Har-
ward. this morning the Yale freshmen de-
feated the Harvard class of '95 in their
annual two-mile row on the Thames, and
to complete the glorious finish of the
seasons aggregation of Yale's athletic
achievements was the record of the
Yale Varsity eight in turning the tables
on the Harvard crew this afternoon.
Criticism of either Yale's blade or athletic
work is difficult. This years crew is called
the NEST perfectly drilled that ever repre-
sented the college. The Craftsmanship of
Harvard. however, was unsteady, while
the stroke was followed moderately well.
The inboard work of the Harvard men was
highly unsatisfactory.
All the afternoon excursion trains brought
loads Of people. who were soon transferred
10 the big passenger steamers. The water
was perfectly smooth; good breeze was
blowing at the back of the crews as they
rowed down stream with the tide.
All the circumstances favored Yale and
were adverse TO Harvard. Yale chose the
east course and al just o'clock both crews
entered their shells and took their posi-
tions.
The Start.
At5:17 o'clock the boats got off, Harvard
leading with 39 stroke and Yale about 80.
AT $50 yards from the start Yale found her
form and her Prov shot past Harvard.
Harvard Quickeued her stroke, making
q fight before rellnquishing the lead.

causing the boat TO roll. Both crews then
settled down to their stroke. Harvard with
deliberate. powerful force. which made
space between the TWO shells at
every dip. At the half-mile Yale
was hall length in the lead. with
both crews squirting frequently. At
the mile Yale was three lengths ahead
Harvard was rowing 30 stroke and Yale
81. Between the mile and mile and half
Yale took matters more easily, and the po-
sitlons were unchanged, At the two-mlle
post ale was four lengths ahead, and COM
menced pulling more vigorously. Harvard
was further handicapped by bad steering
at this point and at the two and a half
mile post Yale was fully eight lengths
ahead. with Harvard splashiDg badly, her
crew having gone to pieces.
The Finish.
After the third-mile post il was process
sion, Yale working with mechanical pre-
cision, with Harvard rowing raggedly. as
the boats passed between the long line of
yachts which inclosed the fui,h a rousing
salute was given both crews and the effect
was magical. The stroke was quickened
and the Craftsmanship of both crews was de-
cidedly more trim. At 3 :37 :49 o'clock the
Yale boat shot by the finish, with Harvard
Is or 10 lengths in the rear.
