OXFORD WINS AGAIN
The Greatest Race Ever Seen in Eng
land.
ALL PREVIOUS TIME SURPASSED
Was a Great Struggle From Start to
Finish---BOth Crews in Ex-
cellent Trim.
ILL PREVIOUS TIME SURPASSED

LONDON, March 22.-Today for the
fftieth time the crews of Oxford and
Cambridge sat in their shells on the
Thames and rowed for dear life, and Ok
ford won her 9th victory. The course was
the historic stretch between Putney and
Mortlake, four and and a quarter miles.
Each side of the river was lined with
tugs, barges, wherries and all manner of
craft, accommodating sightseers. Ashore
and afoat was gay show of bunting.
Along the course balconies were filed
with gaily dressed ladies. The etart
took place from Stone Road bridge at
Putney. Cambridge won the toss and
chose the Surrey side. The tide was
running strongly with slight wind.
All being in readiness the official starter
fired pistol, and amid the shouts of
admirers and the hooting and screaming
of steam whistles and sirens, the crews
shot upstream. Yells of excitement
and shouts of encouragement to both
crews arose along the course as the boats
came in sight, and as they passed craft
of every kind to be seen on the Thames
closed in behind and crowded after. At
Clasper's boathouse Cambridge was
leading by three feet. In the last half
of the race Oxford forged ahead. At the
three-quarters point Oxford was six feet
in advance, and led by yard at CHS
wick Eyot, about 216 miles from the
start. They maintained the lead to the
end, and won by 216 lengths. The race
was of added interest this year by reason
of the prospective appearance of these
famous crews in America against Har-
ward or Yale. So comparison of the
time made at home and abroad becomes
a matter of Importance. In the four
mile race, Harvard and Yale have never
equalled the time made by Oxford last
year. In 1888 the distance was covered
in 20 10.
Oxford's time was 18 al. The time of
the race is the best ever made over the
course. The best previous time was
that of Oxford last year, 10 minutes 21
seconds.

The Blaine Family.

WASHINGTON, March 22.-The Blaine
family will remove in the spring from
the historic old house on Lafayette
Square. Mrs. Blaine returned here a
few days ago from New York, and, al
though the family gives no intimation to
the outside world as to the object of
that trip, it is surmised to have been in
connection with the offer recently made
by Mrs. U. S. Grant to purchase the
property. The family will leave Wash
ington early in May and go abroad for a
years residence. The Bar Harbor
place will be leased. Mrs. Blaine's plan
is to go direct to London and take a
house in the. suburbs. She will be ac-
companied by Miss Hattie Blaine, j.
G. Blaine, jr., and the Coppinger boys.
1t is possible that Mrs. Emmons Blaine
may join them. The greater portion OF
the years absence from this country
will be spent in London.

WORLDS WHEAT CROP.

The last monthly report from the de-
partment of agriculture announces that
at present prospects indicate a wheat
crop for 1898 of 2,347 1865, ,O35 bushels.
This is an immense figure, and so many
bushels could only be counted in aggre-
gate. If the estimate finally comes
within 100, 600, 900 of this it will be con-
sidered fair guess.
The department has a system by
which it can tell very nearly what each
country can produce. By this table the
calculation is made. Thus it is as re-
liable as any forecast can be. Conditions
of seasons may yet change this total by
decreasing or increasing it materially.
Wheat is the most important grain raised
because it is the chief food staple. When
the population of the world is consid-
cred, these two and third billions of
bushels do not seem so unreasonable in
quantity. How quickly a diminishing
in the supply is felt is shown by the
high prices in wheat in 1891. The world
must have it for food even if it cost a
third more than the usual figure. Its
failure in a locality that depends upon it
is even worse. Russia's famine Illus
trates this. A great section that raises
this crop alone was left almost without
a berry of the grain, and the whole world

Chinese Exclusion.

WASHINGTON, March 22.-Secretary
Carlisle has replied to certain inquiries,
as to whether he will enforce the pro-
visions of the Chinese exclusion act, as
follows: GAS the act of May 5th, 1892,
entitled an act to prohibit the coming of
Chinese persons into the United States,'
has not been repealed, it will be en-
forced so far as lies within the. power of
this department. Section IA of the act
approved May 9th, 1892. entitled 'an
act to execute certain treaty stipulations
relating to Chinese provides that
hereafter no state court of the United
States shall admit Chinese to citizen
ship, and all laws in conflict with this
act are hereby repealed This provis-
ion of the law being in full force, the
naturalization of Chinese is therefore
illegal. Chinese merchants established
in business in the United States, who
may depart therefrom with the inten-
ton of returning thereto, will be per-
mitted to land upon submission to the
collector of customs at the port of first
arrival of evidence sufficient to satisfy
him of their indentity as such returning
merchants. Chinese persons not of the
exempt class, as for instance laundry
men, residing in the United States, and
who may depart therefrom, will not be
permitted to return

THE DALLES MARKETS.

THURSDAY, March 23.-The movement
in trade has been quiet during the past
week. Prices in general have been firm
business has been confined to groceries
and provisions.
The dry goods dealers complain of dull
times, and that trade in their line, is
very slack and unsatisfactory.
The produce market is getting short
of supply, and with the increasing de-
mand for all kinds of garden products,
at 2 cents per lb. and the parsnip and
turnip supply is nearly exhausted and are
dearer. Potatoes and onions are in good
stock and maintain their usual quota
tions. In seed potatoes, such as Early
Rose, Goodrich and all the early varie-
ties, there is said to be scarcity, and
prices for them are said to be at sharp
advance over ordinary grades.
Eggs are scarcer and sellers are offered
15 to 16 cents per dozen in. trade.
Butter is more plentiful and fresh roll
is quoted at 35 to so cents per roll.
Poultry is scarce and buyers offer 81
to So per dozen.
Green apples are very scarce and $1.75
to $500 per box is offered for common to
choice.
Feed, grain and hay have not changed
in quotations, and the supply exceeds
the demand.
The wool outlook for 1893 is for lar
ger clip, and prices will not vary much
from those of last year. Those putting
their wool on the market earliest will
probably get top prices, as the late wool
market seldom is satisfactory.
The financial condition of the market
is somewhat close but undoubtedly the
next sixty days will reveal an easy tone
in all branches. The cereal condition
remains steady at minimum. The
following from the Telegram made up
from the agricultural department re-
ports will be read with interest.

WASHINGTON, March 22.-Commis-

Should any trouble arise on the islands
pending his investigation, the naval
commanders and Minister Stevens will
be. expected to follow his advice. He
has discretionary orders, it is said, to
decide after his arrival whether con-
tinuance of the temporary protectorate
is desirable and whether the American
sailors should be continued on shore.

thousands dying of starvation upon the
vast plains of that empire.
When the United States would again
rejoice to see its farmers reap the bene-
fits of high prices, yet it would be brutal
to desire this by repetition of another
such experience in Russia, All good
men must wish that these 2,347 1895, ,035
bushels include fair return from that
land.

Farmers, DISCOURAGED

Sr. PAUL, Mimi, April 27-Farmers
in Minnesota and the Dakotas are
pretty nearly discouraged over the out
look for crops. Not an acre of grain
has been sown in North Dakota or at
any point in Minnesota north of st.
Cloud, and no prospect that any will
be sown in the next ten days. IT began
showing Wednesday, and an average
of eighteen inches fell during the
twenty-four hours. Since that date it
has rained almost continuously, and
yesterday morning it again began snow
ing, and fell all day all the way west
from st. Paul to Dickinson, n. ID. In
Northern Minnesota, around Crook
ston, Fisher and many other Red river
points thousands of acres have been
converted into lakes by the overlooking
streams, and all talk Of putting in crops
is out of the question.

evening, under the auspices of the
BelliHgham bay public library. Miss

ance Of natural laws and ease and sim

ing and hearing the dress reformer.
The New York Sun, in speaking of
Miss Jenness, says: "The stately young
woman allowed the girls to pat her
sloping shoulders and firm, full chest
to see if she were real. She suffered
herself to be pulled this way and that
by the chatterlng magpies, conscious of
being herself "a beautiful and gracious
woman, and yet what she promised
every woman present could make her
self TO be-"

Wrong Man Pardoned

COLUMBUS, o., April 27-The peDi-
tentiary officials here have discovered
that President Cleveland has, by an
error of a clerk, pardoned the wrong
man. William and John Skinner were
received from the northern district of
Alabama under eighteen months sem
tences for Illicit distilling. John Skin
ner has bad eyes and his wife is an in
valid. The sentences were considered
excessive, and his friends succeeded in
securing his pardon. The clerk put
William Skinner's name in the pardon,
and he went out last Monday, leaving
his unfortunate brother inside. It is
thought that the discovery will result
in John Skinner's pardon.

PARIS, Tex, April 27-About forty
years ago steamboat sank on Red
river at place nearly opposite Clarks-
vile, in Red River county. In time
the river changed its course and the
boat was covered with sand. The spot
was lost site of except by a few. Several
weeks ago a party located the place and
a company was organized to dig up the
boat. News was received here today
that the company had dug into the
boat after going through thirteen feet
of quicksand. They found everything
intact just as it was forty years ago.
They have already taken out forty bar
rels of whiskey and about 81 900 of gold
and rare china, and good deal of silver
plate. The explorers say that Thin
bleful of the whiskey makes one feel as
though he owned the sub-treasury in

in California, and will adopt the west
ern classification of freight within the
limits of the state just as it is now doing
