In this connection It Is interesting Go note
that the time difference between the trot-
ting horse and the bicyclists, for the mile
and under, is steadily decreasing. A short
time ago Berlo held the bicycle record for
the quarter mile, his time being eSA-5 SEQ

supposed that this mark would remain the
lowest for long time, but II C. Tyler re-
Gently made a new record for the quarter

Tyler aud the mare to have started at tho

Maud S bad finished the quarter Tyler

The Yale oars dropped exact and true,
while Harvard Jagged. A short distance
before the last half-miIe-post was
reached the eights passed between the
long lines of yachts which lnclosed the
finish. A rouSing salute was given
both crews rs they passed eacl. yacht,
and the effect was magic. The inSpi-
ration made itself felt in both boats.
The stroke was Quickened, the keels
kept more even, and the Craftsmanship of
both crews was decidedly more trim and
cleanly CIT.
At 5:37 minutes and 4S seconds the
Yale boat shot by the finish. with Har-
ward fifteen or sixteen lengths to the
rear. The Harvard shell crossed the
line 551a seconds later. Every member
of 9ale's crew finished fresh, and only
one or two of Harvard's crew were re-
ally exhausted. Every whistle in New
London was subjected to full head of
steam. and the din was distracting.
Thousands of blue flags floated aIoft,
while the crimson dropped or was kept
modestly out of sight. Most Of the 49,
000 visitors who were attracted to New
London to witness the race were carried
away in an hour by excursion trains to
New Haven, Boston and other places.
The official time for the four miles Is
20:4S for Yale; for Harvard, II :4219.
Yale hackers held their money till,
the last moment, keeping thousands of
dollars back because the Harvard men
wanted odds of 500 to $50, but the last.

TAUBENECK is CAUTIOUS.
He Has No Word From Judge
Gresham.

Spec1al 10 the GLOBE.
OMAHA. Neb., July 1.-Taubeneck,
chairman of the executive committee.
told me at IL o'clock tonight he had no
communication from Gresham as to his
acceptance of the nomination, and did
not expect to receive any. He thought
the report here that some one had an
acceptance letter was fraud. He de-
clined to commit himself as to choice
after Gresham. Speaking has been in
progress in the Miilard corridor all the
evening, and there have been repeated
calls for Donnelly, but me has been in
visible. He is saving his ammunition
for larger audiences. Minnesota has
not all arrived yet. but these are here:
Donnelly, L. j.. Meighen, Fillmore;
Campbell, Winona; Norton, Dodge;
Fisk, Waseca; M. NJ. Pratt, Blue Earth:

ID. L. Aiken, Dakota; Rasmussen, st.

DObbins and j. II. Howe, Minneapolis.
3 The Peoples party seems to be in
about the same dilemma the Blaine men
were in at Minneapolis. They affirm
that Gresham will take it if offered but
cannot prove it. Hence they announce
that committee waited OH him and he
said: "The presidency was position
which should not be sought and should
not be declined"
Icalled On Weaver tonight, and though
he is an active candidate for the place.
he is smart enough not to antagonize
the Gresham men, and declares that
Gresham is the man of all others to Sc
lect. The result is that Weaver is gen.
orally recognized as second choice of
the Gresham men.
Our own Donnelly is lying low and
following Weaver's example. He is
talking Gresham, but qualities it with
the remark: ut will not do to nominate
him unless 1t is positive he will accept"
Weaver probably meahs the same thing.
and believes he will refuse, but does
not dampen the ardor of the Gresham
men by putting in such qualifications.

A Free Coinage Bill Passed by
the Senate After Tame
Opposition.
Friends Of the White Metal
Muster a Majority Of
Four Votes,
And Senator Hill, Of New
York, Is Recorded on the
Winning Side.
Law Of 1890 Repealed, and
All Silver Bullion Must
Be Coined.

WASHINGTON, July 1.-The frie ndS
Of the free coinage of silver won great
victory III the senate today. When the
bill came before that body at 2 o'clock
1t was weighted down with the refusal
made the day before by Mr.. Mcpherson
to be bound by the agreement to have
vote taken today, and it looked as if
the end was still in the dim distance.
But the senator from New Jersey (pos-
Siblv having slept on the matter) an
nounced that he was prepared to with
draw bis objection, and that he would
interpose no obstacle or delay to ttne
action of the senate.
Even after that it looked for an hour
or more as if there was to be postpone
ment of the subject for at least another
week, but finally, after a good deal Of
discussion, all preliminary obstacles
were swept away and the vote was
taken on Mr.. Dolph's motion to recommit
the bill to the senate committee on
finance.
Friends and enemies of the measure
were willing to make the vote a test of
their relative strength, and the decision
was in favor of the friends of silver. On
all the other Side-iSSue votes that came
after, victory was still Oh the same side.
and finally the bill was passed by
A Majority Of Four Votes
1t was after the transaction of some
unimportant business that the presid-
Ing officer, at 2 p. m., laid the silver bill
before the senate, and after consider
able discussion as to the agreement
made for vote, Mr.. Butler called for
vote OH the motion of Mr.. Dolph to re-
commit the bill to the finance commit
tee. The motion to recommit was de-
feated-Yeas %, nays 81. The follow
ing is the vote III detail: .t

solute free coinage requirements as the
most devoted friend of the white metal
could desire.
Now the bill goes to the house, and
that body, which had buried the Ques-
tlon, as 1t was supposed, for the pres
ent at least, will again be obliged to
race the issue. The bill will turn up in
the house tomorrow, and, if the usual
course of legislation is followed, it will
be referred to the coinage committee.
a prompt report is expected on the
Dill from that committee. and it will
take Its place on the calendar, following
hundreds of other bills, aud with about
as much chance of being reached in the
ordinary course of business as bill to
bridge the Atlantic.
But the friends of the bill are stimu-
lated by the action of the senate to
point near determination. They are
Democratic i'll the house by large ma
lority. and they hold that it would be
bad politics to allow silver bill passed
Dy Republican senate to fail in
Democratic house. Besides. they are
sore from their last failure, when they
attempted to get a cloture rule to force
a vote on the house silver bill. So they
are going to insist on a special order
from the rules committee that will give
the house a chance to vote squarely on
the free silver coinage proposition, and
some Southern members tonight assert
that not wheel shall turn, not an APP
preparation bill pass, and not even
further extension of appropriations
shall be made until they get that special
order.
On the other hand, the little .phalanx
OF Democrats, under the lead of Tracy
and Williams, who so successfully re-
sisted the silver men before, are now
full of confidence. They feel that they
can now have the active support of the
Republican members, who do not wish
to force the president to pass upon the
bill before election day. and they are
already preparing for a test of endur-
ance. That is what it will amount to
from present indications, and the ques-
ton narrows down to one point, and
that is the ability of the silver men to
secure a quorum in the house. 1t is
early yet to talk about the prospects of
veto, but one argument the silver men
are making to meet the point that their
fight is uselessly embarrassing now was
set out by Mr.. Morgan yesterday when
he said that the president was too high
minded to resist the Will OF the people
Ill so important matter.

toned as a possible candidate, but is
more frequently spoken of as candi-
date for governor of Minnesota. The
delegates from Minnesota and the two
Dakotas declare he will run for. gov
ernor and be elected.
Walter Muir. a farmer. president of
the North Dakota Alliance, assured me
today that they need to be very careful
who they nominated. as ''there was
danger the nominee would be elected
MIR. Muir was strictly sober and APP
parently in his right mind when lie
made the. remark, and it is hoped the
impending danger" will not dethrone
his reason.
Donnelly says having 1776 delegates
seems an Overruling providence. They
had selected the Fourth of July to full
inmate their new declarations of indie
pendence, and decided on the basis of
appOrtiOnment without figuring the
number of delegates. When it was dis
covered that the number of delegates
corresponded to the year of the original
declaration of independence they saw
the hand of God at once. Perhaps it
will astonish the Deity to learn from
GLOBE that He has Donnelly for side
partner, and He may draw cut of the
whole thing and let Omaha and the
Peoples party take charge of the conf
ing Fourth on their own hook.
