For tho Twcnty-sixth Time tho Dark

the Great Contest ON tho Thames.
LONDON. April t.--For the Goth time

Oxford was again carried to victory by the
strong arms Of its wearers, and laundering
cheers greeted the oarsmen as they rested
on their oars after1beir well fought battle
for the supremacy. Altogether 40 races
have been rowed, cne Of which terminated
in dead heat.
The day was beautiful and the banks of
the Thames were packed with an enthu.
siastic crowd Such n gathering as was
present to-day has never been equnled in
previous years, and the utmost enthusiasm
prevailed The crowd began to assemble
NJ O'Clock. The water was perfectly
smooth and the tide was on the Hood at
noon, the time fixed for the race The
crews appeared and this was a signal for
laundering cheers that swept up and down
the river again and again.
Oxford won the toss and chose the
Middlcsex side of the river. where, il there
was any advantage to be gained from Hood
tide, they would get it. The crews took
Their positions above the acqueduct adj
Joining tho Putney bridge and at exactly
1918 the starting signal was given.
Oxford crew took the water first and
jumped to the front. Cambridge was
quick to follow and then the struggle
began. When llammersmith bridge, n
mile and six furlongs from the start, was
reached Oxford was still about a quarter
of q length in front. Both crews were
pulling at the rate of 36 strokes to the
minute. Cambridge was pulling steadily,
but their strokes were not as strong rs
their opponents and they dropped slowly
but surely behind.
AT Chiswick Hall, two and a-half miles
from the start the Oxfords we're two
lengths in the front, This lead they main
tanned to the Degonshire Narrows, where
they seemed to put more strength into
their strokes and their boat forged still
further ahead, and when three miles and

oxford bent sturdily to the oars and fairly
lifted the boat out Of the water, CAM

More Evidence to Indicate That He Ia
the Atrocious London Butcher


LONDON, April IA dressmaker living
in the Strand has recognized portrait OF
Deeming MS that of man who courted
her under the name of Lawson. She states
that they We're walking together on the
night of September Goth, 1883, and parted
at II o'clock. The following morning the
shockingly mutilated bodies of the women
Stride and Eddowes were found in the
Whitechapel district.
Considerable speculation has been in
dulged in as to the possibility of Deeming
being. the notorious Whitechapel Jack,
the Ripper One of the physicians who
conducted the post mortem examinations
on the bodies of the Rainhill victims said
that those murders showed that the person
who committed them had a good knowl-
edge of anatomy. Denials have been made
that Deeming was in England at the time
OF these MURDERS but us n matter of fact,
his whereabouts at exact periods would be
d hard question to decide
The dressmaker says she met Deeming
on the afternoon Of September Both when
they had long conversation on the sub
iect of the Whitechapel murders. and
Dceming showed that he was conversant
with every one of the horrible details A
remark being made concerning sugges-
ton contained in newspaper that the
murders Of the night before were com
mitted shortly after midnight, Deeming
seemed to forget to whom he was talking
and said to the girl, Look at the time /
could not have Committed the MURDERS
The girl was very much struck by this
uncalled-for remark, and she has often
since thought of it. Throughout the after
noon Deeming was very much agitated
and eagerly read the newspaper comments
on the crimes. A few days later he vanished
and the girl never saw him again. It is
thought that with the clue furnished by
the girl some startling developments may
be locked for and that the Whitechapel
mysteries may be at last solved

WHEN MONDAY rAnls ovsUyDAr.


Now 1orK sun, April bth.
The board Of aldermen gravely deter
mined yesterday to do no business oil any
Monday that falls on a Sunday. The dis
cnssion grew out of the provision OF law
that makes ii necessary for the board to
meet on the first Monday of July and re-
ceive the tax rolls. This year the glorious
Fourth is the first Monday
Alderman Mead wanted the board to
petition the legislature to appoint the first
day of July for this work. Alderman
O'Beirne wanted the second Monday in
July, ana another alderman wanted to
know, III the words of the poet, what was
The matter with day in June. A resolu-
ton was drawn that seemed to fit the diff
Guilty. President Arnold took the resolu-
ton, and, not liking the way it was
worded, made some interlineations and
corrections. The resolution was handed
to the reading clerk, who read il in a
mastery way. Here it is;
Resoiusd, That the state Legislature be and is
hereby respectfully requested TO pass an
amendmontt TO said act, enabling the board Of
aldermen. whenever tho first Monday OF July
shall fall upon Sunday or a legal holiday, to
meet at noon on the following day for the pur-
pose OF receiving said assessment rolls
All the aldermen nodded their satisfac-
ton at this and it was adopted The re-
markable document eventually found its
way to Chief Clerk Blake, who used to be q
newspaper man. He scratched out "a Sun

ANARCHIST ASSASSINS.
Their Murder of a Polish Physician Re,
vaals a Deadly Conspiracy.

BERLIN, April ga remarkable story
comes from the village Of Koscielee
Poland. DR.. Poninsky, high Polish
eccleastic, was waylaid and shot to death
BY four men. A number of villagers heard
the shot and pursued the assassins, finally
bringing them to bay
In the battle which followed two of the
assassins were killed, the other wo fleeing.
Their hiding place was discovered. and
after they had exhausted nearly all their
ammunition used their last two remaining
bullets on themselves, blowing out their
own brains.
Upon the body of each of the four men
was found a red ticket reading Execution
committee of the Polish Anarchists" DR..
Poninsky had probably by his utterances
incurred enmity Of the Anarchists, and it
had unqnestionably been made the lot al
the four men to murder him.

DEEMINa,S DEFENCE.
His Counsel Will Interpose Plea of In
sanity in His Behalf.

MELBOURNE. April SIT is believed that
the trial of Deeming will prove one Of Tie
most interesting that has ever taken place
anywhere in the world As stated III the
dispatches the defence will be insanity,
and many experts will be called to testify
rs to the species of madness with which
his counsel claims that he is affected
10 denial has as yet been made by the
defence that Deeming did not commit An
the murders attributed to him. In fact
his counsel, by his tacit admissions at the
coroner's inquest, shows that his client is
at least guilty Of the killing with which he
is charged here, but claims that, owing to
congenial influences, he is not responsible
for his homicidal crimes.
