CORNELL DEFEATED.
The English oarsmen Win the Henley
Race

The English oarsmen Win the Henley
Race
Cornoll's attempt TO capture the Grand
Challenge cup at Henley has ended in an.
other 1asco. The American crew led their
competitors grandly in the second heat oi
the race until three-quarters OF the distance
had been passed. Then an accident disab-
led one OF their men aud they were thrown
out OF the competition. The struggle is finish.
ed so far as Cornell ie concerned and finished
without genuine test with u single one OF
the English crews.
The story OF the melancholy affair Ia q very
brief one. The Americans took the lead over
Trinity at the very start aud maintained II
with every indication Of winning until the
mile post was nearly reached. The Cam.
bridge men were then gaining slightly. but
Cornelrs lead was more than half q length,
and the winning post was only a quarter OF q
mile away, when Fennell caught n crab and
the end OF the oar struck him blow In tho
side which completely disabled him. His
companions tried TO help him and made three
attempts 10 row on without his aid but tha,
was impossible. The injured man did not
faint, as at first reported, but was unable to
row "A single stroke and 1t was OF course i'm
possible to finish the race.

The "yellow peril" is what is row
troubling excitable folk in Europe,
says the New York Post. The phrase
covers the fear of tremendous con.
fict impending with the yellow races
of the Orient. 1t is to come, first of
all, in the form of n crushing indus.
trial competition. China and Japan
are not extending their commercial
treaties for nothing. They are plan.
ming to do the most gigantic dumping
of cheap goods upon helpless Europe
that the world ever saw, With their
cheap and ineXhaustible labor supply,
with their patience, their artistic en-
dowment, their quckncss to adopt
and appropriate all mechanic arts,
who can stand against them? Per.
haps the afflicted Europeans will try
to repel the cheap goods by force of
arms, but that will only bring on an
unequal combat with the swarming
millions who are even now aching for
a chance to overrun Europe. These
horrible imagining will do to furnish
forth an evenings gossip or evoke edi-
torial wisdom, but they are about as
reasonable as it would be to suppose
that the megalosaurus would be too
much for man if he took to threshing
around the earth again. Brains are
better than numbers to fight brute
force and barbarians with, and the i'm
pending ravaging OF Europe by the
hoIdes of the East is even less likely
to come off now than any time these
two thousand years, during which it
has been steadily predicted but never
realized.

A SILVER CONFERENCE.
Senator Jones Explains the Meeting to
be Held in Washington.

Senator Jones Of Arkansas, who joined with
sanators Harris and Turpio In Issuing a call
for conference of silver Democrats In Wash
ington. August IS. has written q letter to n
friend In Washington. explaining the origin
OF the call and the purposes Of the meeting
He says;
"At Memphis, after the adjournment Of the
meeting there, number OF Democrats from
different states had a meeting at the Gaposo
hotel and alter consideration that meeting
requested Senators Harris. Turpie and my
self to take steps TO organize the silver Demo.
Gratis so that they should be fairly represent
cd IN the next national convention. We con-
cluded that the best way TO do this was to
nrst organize national central committee Of
silver nocrats consisting OF ono or more
members for each state, and let these memb-
ers look after the organization Of their own
states. To select gentlemen for members OF
this committee by correspondence seemed
STOW; hence 1t was concluded to invite one or
more gentlemen OF character and experience
from each state TO meet In Washington and
select. II they thought well Of 1t, this central
committee. That is all there Is Of 1t as / un.
derstand."
The general impression seems to gone out
that this conference was TO be a mass meet.
Ing. Senator Jones statement puts It In a
different light.

Meteorological Committee Report.

1t has been several years since your com
mittee have found it necessary to crltlclse
anything relating to the duties required OF
those in charge of the signal office in this
city. But we are not altogether satisfied
with the restric lions imposed on this once
which deprive us of the local forecasts sueh
as are issued from so many other of1ces
where we are sure they are less needed
The geographical position of Portland
makes it most difficult point for predict
ing either storm .or temperature and the
conditions peculiar to this locality give to
the experienced observer a better basis Tor
predicting the changes most likely to occur,
than can be obtained by those at a distance.
As was suggested last year, the Bureau
can never render the aid to the commerce
of Portland that it is capable of giving until
the duty of issuing these local forecasts Is
put upon the officer here in charge. We
would there fore renew our suggestion that
this board express to the Secretary of Ag-

the weather may be issued from this office.
