 Notes-Personal.

Washington, June 2S.-(Special)-T Star of this evening of this city contains a column interview with R. F. Kolb Of Alabama, in which he deprecates the idea of any fusion of the populists and re- publieans in Alabama. He states his same old reason for leaving the demo- cratic party, etc.

 The gold in the treasury has reached over $100, 000 000. business is looking up, etc., and there seems to be general re- vival of democratic enthusiasm.

TIE CRIMSON LOST OUT
Yale Finds an Easy Victim in
 Harvard.
HARD LUCK DID THE WORK
Bad Management of Haryards cOxswain Ma teriaIly Aided Yale, Though She
 Got Big Lead.

New London, Conn.,, June 28.-Yale won the race by between eleven and twelve lengths. The official time was: Yale, 21 80; Harvard, 22:05. Yale took, the lead at the start and led all the way. Har- yard tried to spurt three times, but in vain. The time by miles is as follows (officiaD One mile-Yale, 5:Oi; Harvard. 5:20. Two miles-Yale 10:21; Harvard, 10:s9 Three miles-Yale, 1859; Harvard, 1G21 Four miles-Yale, 21 :SO Harvard, 22:o5.
 Yale's stroke throughout was thirty three. Harvard's was unsteady, vary ing from thirty-two to thirty-six. Har- wards steering was pitiable and re- suited in a narrow escape from one col lision with a steamer and another square crash with a row boat. Rough waters on the third mile prevented an approach to record time.
 The race completed a clean sweep for Yale in the past college year, the foot ball. baseball, track athletics and crew championships for 1895 now standing to her credit Today's event closed a years experiment with Harvard. With the inauguration of the system of prac- tically professional coaching at Cam bridge, a new aquatic era was thought IU DE lIlduS TOT l1lc 10 day the results of Coach Watsons work were to be put to the test, but the trial was not fair one. Harvard had so frequently advanced the plea of hard luck that a repetition of the complaint at present seems useless, but in justice to the crimson, white mantle of chari- ty is her legitimate due.
 With the Cambridge boat house closed a fortnight in the middle of the crusal training season and a member of the boat taken from the shell three days be- fore the race the misfortunes of several seasons seem crowded into one Criti- cally judged, Harvard's exhibition this afternoon was not meritorous. The stroke was slow when it should have been sharp, speedy when 1t was needless, but ragged continually.
 The coxswain's errors, too, were atro- cous They caused Harvard to lose the benefit of the current where trade winds" might have counted; ran the Harvard shell into the heavy swash of one steamer and jammed it's prov along

THE PILOT LIBEL SUIT.
Getting Down to Hard Work-Byrd on the
 Stand.

Stand.
 Norfolk, Va, June 2S--The people of Norfolk are taking intense interest in the Massey-Pilot libel suit and today the largest crowd of the week crowded the court room. While all of the evidence is more than ordinarily interesting, it is safe to say that nearly all these people are watching for A1assey's appearance on the stand It was confidently expected that he would be called today, but the plaintiffs counsel sprung a big surprise by calling to the witness box MT. w. w. Gibbs business manager of the Pilot.
 Mr Walker conducted the examination. Mir Gibbs said that he was business manager of the Pilot and that Mir. Small was editor when the alleged Hbelous article appeared. MT. Small was manag- ing editor until April IA. The witness said that the December 23 issue of the Pilot was 25.000 an that 10000 of the papers were sent to MT. R. F. Byrd of Winchester, but not as agent of the Ginn account
 When asked if he did not know that Mr. Byrd was agent of Ginn & Co., the book publishers, witness said that he did not, but he believed he was. Wit ness said he did not know who was the author of the article complained of, but he was told by MT. Small he had an ar ticle in preparation in reference to the American Book company.
 In answer to questions he said he did not know MT, Byrd prepared the arti- cle, but for himself he believed he did He did not know MT. Byrd was agent for Ginn & Go. In fact did not know there was such a firm in the world until the matter came up. He. however for him. self believed that MT. Byrd was their agent. Mr., Gibbs said after suits were entered he (Gibbs) visited the various book publishers and asked them to bear a pant of the expenses of the suit He thought they would be the beneficiaries and should contribute some of the mon ey. He called upon Ginn & Co and they refused to pay anything, and said that Byrd was not their agent
 Tn reply to Mir Thom witness said he did not claim that Ginn & Co. were re- sponsible, but claimed that they should help us to fight this suit, and they re- fused The company called on MT. Byrd to furnish the facts. He had an inter- view with Mir. Byrd and that gentleman did not deny that he was the author of the article.
 By Mir. Thom: Did or did not the directors say that they would have to look out for themselves as individuals if Ginn Go. would not defend the suit?"
 MT. Gibbs admitted that this was true.
 Tn reply to a quesas,on from MT Thom witness said he thought the article would produce a big sensa alton.
 When the court adjourned at 8 D. m MT. Gibbs was still on the stand and will likely be before the court good part of tomorroWs session.

HELP FOR NORTHERN FARMERS.
The South Suggested as an Excellent Source
 of Supply,

0l ouppiy,
 Dr. Galen Wilson in New York Tribune.
 To meet their necessities several of my neighbors began to import negro farm hands from the south and it is of this class I wish especially to speak, be- cause l think they can be made to solve the farm labor question of the north My opinion will be based upon what I have seen and known of fourteen such persons within ten years. The southern negro has the general bad reputation of not respecting truth or property rights. This came from the condition of some of them before they were emancipated, hav- ing unfeeling task-masters, who de- manded hard service on a slight diet, and when they did filch and prevarlcate to cover up the fact it was all done only to appease their hunger, and they should scarcely be blamed for that. There are employers in the south today, natives and northerners as well, who pay their colored help from S6 to $S per month and rations consisting of peck of corn meal and three pounds of pork per week.
 How can this be made to keep the man and his wife and children? If he se- questers a chicken occasionally, or goes off hunting or fishing when his employ CTS back is turned, it is only to secure something for himself and his family to eat. But this class of employers is rare, and so is this class of negroes. Town ne- groes are generally corrupt, but no worse in the south than in the north. The suoth- ern farm negroes are a reflex of the char acter of their employers in large meas ure as they are usually confined to the one farm or plantation permanently. TS argue that the negroes are all bad there, the same must be said of the white peo- pie, a position, 1 think, no one is will ing to assume. The southern negro is

MaxinSusgee, Ind, June 2S.--At today's session of the Midsummer Democratic Editorial association resolutions were passed declaring that any decided step on the money question at this time would be unwise.

The decision finds that the Colima was staunch and sea- worthy; that no danger was antieiTa ed until five or ten minutes before the ship went down; that good discipline was maintained on board, and that without the reports of Captain Taylor, his first officer and chief engineer. it is impossible to decide the true cause of the disaster.
