interest in the Race Of the Senior
Fours. --
RESULTS OF THIS MORNING

SARATOGA, N. Y, August 1.-THE in
terest in the annual meeting of the Ma
tional Association of Amateur Oarsmen was
increased today, and the Saturday excur-
sion trains brought many more spectators
to the lake. The crews were out early row.
ing over the course. and the Saratogians ar
rived earlier and in greater numbers than
on yesterday. The betting was much live
Her than on the previous day. the favorites
being backed much more heartily. One of
the races on which considerable money was
placed was the senior singles. Hawkins of
Troy, who won SO easily yesterday from
Russell, the Canadian, was backed by the
Saratoga sporting contingent, while the
westerners took Fred Koenig of The ST.
Louis club. The Toronto boys pluckily
backed their champions, Russell and Themp-
son.
A race which contained some first-cIass;
teams was the senior double scdls.
The showing was good az in any
doubles ever rowed at the regatta. Mora
han and his partner, Bowen, had won sew
erai times. and the Donaghues were said
to be in good form and out 20 win, while
the Varunas' famous double, Freeth and
Buiger, we're certain to give their oppc-
nents very lively hustle.
The closing race of the regatta, the senior
eight-oared shells. had but two entries the
Triton Boat Club and the Laureatas of
Troy There was little or no betting on this;
race. for the inability to row shown by the
Laureates' Junior eight-oared crew yester-
day shook the faith of their stanchest fol-
lowers
The senior four-oared race was looked
forward to with great interest because in It
the Argonauts of Toronto met the famous
four OF the New York Athletic Club The
latter crew carried everything before them
this summer, but had not yet met the
Toronto four. The races of today included
the junior four. which was postponed from
yesterday; the Junior singles. the. final heat

FRIDAY. JAN. 5.

In the House, Immediately after the reading
of yesterdays journal, Mr.. Boutelle me-, K
tried TO resume his tactics Of yesterday and the
day before. BY his efforts to obtain consdera-
ton for his Hawaiian resolution he precipi-
tated sharp contest with the Speaker who
finally ignored him and recognized MIR. Catch
inss Miss, d. to make report from the Com
mttee on Rules.
Mr. Boutelle insisted that his resolution WAS
before the House and had not been d sposed Of
aud asked the Speaker where il had gone. The
| Speaker replied that the question of its con-
slderation no quorum had voted.
The Speaker continued TO pound the desk
| for order, and Mr. Boutelle to demand recogni-
| tion.
The Speaker announced firmly that he had
| recognized the gentleman from Mississippi (Mr.
| Catchings), and directed the Clerk 10 read the
resolution which he had offered. The res0lu-
| ton was then read, at first amid great upr0ar
| of the House, which gradually subsidized.
1t provides that after the passage of the reso.
| luton the House shall meet ut IL y. m; that
| Immediately after the call of committees each
day the House shall go Into Committee of the

The order having been read, Mr.. Burrows

| Speaker announced that under former rulings
the question Of consideration could not be
raised upon report from the Committee on
Rules. MIR. Bontelle appealed from The dees-
ion of the Chair, but the Speaker refused to
entertain the appeal.
Then followed four attempts by roll call to
secure second for the demand for the previous
question on the order. Seeing that il was im-
possible TO secure a quorum, Mr. Catchings
moved an adjournment. which was carried.

tin was thrown upward with such force that it
pierced the breast of the American lady in the
gallery who saw valiant raise his arm and
tried to stop him. The wound was SO severe
that it required considerable operation TO re-
move the piece of tin, and it was many days
before the lady could leave the hospital. Vail
liant himself was also severely wounded.
The perfection of art in the manu- lacture of
bombs is shown in the illustration Of the bombs
thrown in the Lyceum Theater at Barcelona
few weeks since. 1t will be seen that il is
bristiing with percussion caps that communi-
cate with the powder and dynamite within.
il is built upon different plan than that en-
ployed by valiant, and was relied upon to
come in contact with some hard substance to
explode, not employing the admixture of
liquids. Fortunately for many who escaped
the bomb that did explode this one landed
in the lap of lady sitting in an orchestra
chair. and she. with great presence of mind,
clutched it and kept it from falling to the
floor, which action not only saved her life, but
gave TO the authorities perfect knowledge of
what sort Of implements these enemies of
society EMPLOY.

horseshoe comes beneath the liquids, the fluids
percolate through the cotton, and Immediately
upon their uniting the explosion occurs. The
time required for penetrating the cotton IS
readily determined by the use OF water or any
other fluid
The rapidity with which these liquids come
together is indicated by the premature explo-
sion OF Vaillant's bomb when he threw it the
other day in the Chamber of Deputies. 1t is
reasonable to suppose that up TO the moment it
left his hand he had kept it in an upright posi-
