By Gable to the United Press.

PARIS, April 90, 1s94.-The English colony
Government in forcing Sir Edward Blount,
who for thirty years had been the chairman
of the Quest Railway, to resign. The
ground taken by the Government was that
Chairman Blount, by virtue of his position
at the head of great railway, had access to
the plans of the Government in the matter
of mobilizing troops. The Government did
not believe that foreigner should hold a
position in France enabling him to become
possessed of such information, and took
steps to compel his removal. Premier CAST
mir-Perier threatened that unless Mr.
Blount retired, the Government would in
troduce in the Chamber of Deputies bill
excluding foreigners from the Presidency of
all French railways.

INTERNATIONAL BOAT RACE.
oxford Makes an Offer to Yale and
Harvard.

BosToN, April 23, ls94-The Globe says:
The Globe can state on excellent authority
that an International college boat race is
not beyond the bounds of possibility this
season. This time the advances come from
the other side of the water, from Oxford,
the winner of the Oxford Cambridge race.
1t is understood that Oxfor has sent word
to both the Harvard and Yale crews that
Oxford will be willing to race the winner of
the great American race, if the crew will go
to England The proposition, briefly, is
that the winning crew here shall keep in
+ aiming after the race at New London, and
go to England some time in August, or even
before that time, if it is thought best that
the international race will be rowed ON the
Thames in September, by which time the
American crew ought to be in good shape.
If the Yale and Harvard crews will agree
to these conditions, Oxford will promise to
get in training in time for the race.
