7lLE VERSUS OXFORD.
D,;tish Team Comes Out Win.
ner in the Contests.
vrcH ELATATION IN SUCCESS.

rut the Spirit of English Fair Play OF
which They Are Wont to Boast, Was
.,,arted by One of Most Intense
,,orsv-Nr. Bayard Attended.
1oxpol. July l7.-Despite the love of
,.:.,.Iov of which the English are wont
ha.st the crowds which witnessed the
...,s between Oxford and Yale teams
today we're generally most unfairly par
t.or OF course, in the box, where the
,,,orican Ambassador and number of
continent Englishmen were gathered,
Ella Fng]ishmen made it point OF clap
IN, their hands when the Yale team
,ros successful, and Mr.. Bayard was
o,raIly careful to applaud the successes
~. oxiord men, but everywhere else the
most intense jealousy was manifested.
In front of what was supposed to be re-
sarc4d for Americans a crowd OF WELL
lrossed men and women gathered, and
,Lan the little knot of Yale men gave
tho COLLEGE cheer many of these people
non1d turn around and make insinuating
,omarks. "They cali themselves gen.
t1ampn." scornfully remarked lady in
the American party, and when Yale won
some event and her partisans were re-
;oicino. a big, burly Britisher yelled:
aPemember the Britannia beat the Wig
liant six tines" None OF these remarks
were made good-naturedly, but with the
most intense passion. The scene at the
end expressed the whole feeling. While
moor Pond. who ran one of the pluckiest
races ever seen. was lying in his friends
arms. the Oxonian who had saved the
English from being tied was being borne
trumphantly to the pavilion, neil and
womeI following with faces afame and
running and yelling in mad delight. 1t
was all typical OF the British feeling.
Hickok Of the Gales and Frye of the
Oxfords were interviewed after the
games. Fry was very happy. He said
the Oxford team were delighted with the
Yale athletes. He thought the Ameri
cans bad done their best, and certainly
were not up to the record. This was be-
cause they were overturned, while the
Oxford men had not reached their best
form, because they were undetermined.
All the members of his team were sur
prised at Hirkok's work with the ham,
mer and weight. He regretted that the
weather was not better, and thought, if
the track had been dry, Sheldon would
have cleared twentyfour feet in the run
ming broad Jump. He said further that,
although it was difficult to induce the
Oxford men to train in the summer time,
he was determined, if possible, to get
Oxford to agree to return match with
Yale in 1895. He hoped the athletes
from the two universities could meet
annually.
IIick0k said he was bitterly disap-
pointed, not so much because the Yales
were beaten as because the men did not
DO as we'll as they did in the trials. He
added:
Il have thrown the hammer over 125
feet, but to-day l could not exceed ITO
feet. However, there is no use in look
ing for reasons. They got there first,
and we were beaten. They are a splendid
lot Of fellows, and there is nothing to re-
greet but the result"

A New ArmOr-Plate Must be Found foI
the New Prcjectiles.

the New Projectiles.
PHILADELPHIA, July 1.-THE appar-
ent ease with which the heavy armor-
plates were punctured in the tests at In
dian Head during the past few days has
been disappointment to Pittsburgers,
who are proud of the big mill at Home
stead but the projectile used was also
product of home industry, and both
could not prevail. President Cy Wheeler
of the Sterling Steel Company, manu-
facturer of the new prejectile, said the
system of armor-plate was all right, but
the fault lay in the Harvey process of
hardening. Hecontends that the plates,
to successfully withstand this projectile,
must be made by the same process. He
thinks he has worked out a plan, and
some plates on the plan he has mapped
out. They will be ready about the
middle of August, when they will be
tested. The President frankly admits
that, if the test is a success, he must
improve his projectiles and bust even
the new plate, if he can. Instead of
hardening the plates with carbon, as is
done under the Harvey process, and
putting in nickel to tougher the material,
Mr.. Wheeler is having plate made on
the principle used in producing the pro-
jectiles. He puts chrome or chromium
in the projectiles, and this material he
will substitute in the plate for nickel,
and no carbon for hardening will be
used. The chrome is very hard mate
rial, and is found extensively in this
country and in Europe, particularly
Germany. There are large deposits Of
it around Baltimore. Mr.. Wheeler
thinks the fault of hardening plates, es-
pecially the thickness of II and Is inches,
is that you cannot tell how far it pene-
trates. You may think the hardness goes
into the plate for some little distance,
when really it may be close to the sur
face.

Receipts Greater Than Expenditures.

WAsHINGToN, July 17.-Receipts from
internal revenue so far this month
amount to SIG, 664 ,537, as against So, 1877, )
915 during the same period last year.
The almost unprecedented increase is no
doubt due to the expectation that in the
pending tariff bill the tax on spirits will
be materially increased. The receipts
from customs for the first half of the
present month amounted to So, 535, 900,
which is per cent more than last year.
For the first time in many months the
receipts of the government are exceed
ing the expeditures, the excess 80 far
being over 81, 100000.

Chinese Government Still Demands the
Removal of Japanese Troops.
WASHINGTON, July 7.-Latest tele-
graphic advices received here indicate
that the Corean situation is substantially
unchanged. 1t states that the Russian
government has expressed itself as sat
isfed with the reply of the Japanese
government, disavowing any design upon
Corean territory, but declining to with
draw the Japanese troops from Corea
until some action was taken to prevent
the constant recurrence of the disturb
ances in that country of which Japan
complains. It is also stated that the
Chinese government has promptly re-
fused to consult with the Japanese gov
eminent for the purpose of devising
means to assist Corea in her cause and
simply reiterates its demand for the re-
moval of Japanese troops from Corea.
This, it is understood, was the substance
of the answer made by Sung Ii Yamen
last week, when the British Minister in
Pekin rendered his personal good Offices
to effect an amicable settlement OF tho
difficulty between the two countries.

TARIFF CONFERENCE.
A New Plan Suggested for Revenue or
whisky.

whisky.
WASHINGTON, July 16.-The tariff con-
ferrees have had suggested to them a
plan for revenue on whisky, one OF the
largest revenue producing items, which
has not heretofore been considered in
either the House or Senate. 1t was pro-
posed by one of the Senators, and sentl-
ment toward it is quite favorable. The
plan contemplates sliding scale, the
minimum tax being 81 per gallon on
whisky out of bond at the end OF five
years and advancing cents per gallon
for each year in bond beyond five years
and not exceeding nine years. On this
basis the tax would be: Five years, 81
six years, $1.O5; seven years, s1.1O;
eight years, $1.15. By this arrangement
the eight years bonded period is secured
by the distillers, although it is offset by
the tax of $1.15 per gallon if advantage
is taken of the full nine years.
