COINAGE OF SILVER.
The Time 1t Will Take to Coin the
SeisnoraRa.


WAsHISGTON, ID. c., March l7.-ShOuId
the Bland SeignoraRe bill, which has now
passed both the House and Senate, be.
come law, the coinage of fifty
five millions Of silver bullion would have
to be done at the minis at Philadelphia,
San Francisco and New Orleans, which
are in fact tho only minis OF the govern
ment now in operation, exclusive OF other
necessary coinage. The Philadelphia
mint, II is thought, could turn out about
u million per month, the San Francisco
mint about tho same, and the New Or
leans mint about 10000 per month. The
San Francisco mint, however. has
only about 100000 in silver bull
lion on hand. and the New Orleans mint
only about nine aud one half million, so
after the supply now on hand at these
minis has been exhausted, the remain
ing thirty mill nS would have to be
coined at the Philadelphia mint alone.
The whole time, therefore, which would be
necessary to coin the SeignOTage, wOuld
be approximately, about two years and
two months

GREAT BOAT RACE
Between Oxford, and Cambridge
Crews.

lC0pyrIghted, 1894, by the Associated
LONDON, Eng. March 1.-THE fifty
first boat race rowing crews, repre-
senting Oxford university and Cambridge
university boat clubs took place thi8
morning, over the usual four miles and
two furlOng course from Putney bridge to
the ship at MOrtlake. The previous
contests between these two universities,
Oxford won q, including the races OF
last four successive years Cambridge
victories amounted to %, and one race In
1877 resulted in dead beat. In Cambridge
boat four or the men had previously
rOwed in inter university contest, while
Oxford had five old hands in its boat.
Today was the second time in
the history of these great aguatic
contests, that the race was pulled off on
St. Patrick's day. There was no wind, and
the water was smooth. A few minutes
before the start, the haze lifted almost
completely. The crews were greeted with
loud cheers, Oxford won the toss and
took the Surrey side OF the riv-
er. The start was made ct
9:2O o'clock, Cambridge getting away
first, with pretty fOrty-two to minute
gait, and Oxford starting with long and
steady forty stroke. Advantage to Cam
bridge was soon lost for Off the creek
which was reached in one minute and
eleven seconds, the boats were even. At
the Soap Works oxford had led through
grand race was being pulled, Cambridge
being less than half length behind. Both
crews were rowing steady, IS strokes to a
minute. At Craven Steps Oxford was q
few feet ahead, and passed Hammer
smith bridge leading length and started
to finish second halfrace, with Cambridge
apparently a beaten crew. At the Thor
nyncraftS' works the Oxtord'S were four
lengths In the lead. The Cambridge
made several splendid spurts, but was
unable to approach closer than three
lengths to the gallant dark blues, who
finally passed the line as winners by three
and One-half lengths, in 81 min. and 80 sec
In spite OF the apparently long gap between
Oxford and Cambridge boats at the turn
ing lines q fine race was pulled. Oxford
showed rare pulling power, and after
passing HammerSmith bridge, seemed
to leave the Cambridge crew as though
the boat of the latter was at anchor
Cambridge was lacking in that degree,
the machine work exhibited by the oppo-
neDt. The fastest time ever made was
eighteen minutes and foTty-seven sec
ondS. Last years races were also won by
Oxford

Oxford Against Cambridge.

LONDON, March 1.-THE event OF
the year in foreign sporting circles
is always the great inter-univer-

Cambridge, which this season takes
place today on the Thames. Last
year 1t was witnessed by a hun
