s esble letter, copyrighted, 1895, by the
Associated Press.I-The general cleo
ton, the regatta and the visit of the
Italian fleet under the Duke of Genoa,
to Spithead. have been uppermost in
the public mind during the past week.
The Elections.
The elections practically commenced
yesterday with the return of thirty
asN unopposed candidates, including
NSAirty Conservatives, three Liberals
and three Parnellites. Mr.. Goschen is
the first new first lord OF the admir-
atty; Sir Ellis Ashmead Bartlett is a
native of Brooklyn and was formerly
civil lord OF the adm. .'ty in Lord
Sansbury's administration in 1885, and
again from 1886 to 1892: Mr.. Haaton is
the author of the Imperial Ocean
Penny Postage scheme and Mr..
Mundelia was formerly president Of
the board of trade with a seat in the
cabinet of the late Liberal government
and resigned on May IA, 1894, as a re-
suit of being summoned to appear in
court for examination as 10 the affairs
: Of the defunct New Zealand company,
of which he was one of the directors.
Mr.. Mundella. states in court that he
resigned from the board of directors
when he was appointed to the presi-
decy Of the board of trade.
The Henley Regatta.
In regard to the Henley regatta, al
ready so much has been cabled that
not much remains to be said. The
straightforward sta tement made by
Captain FIeebOrn, on behalf of the
Cornell crew, should set at rest the
rumors spread by the friends of the
Leanders against the fair dealing of
the young men from Ithaca. As Free
born stated, the umpire had entire
control of the race after il was
Started, and to disregard his COM
e5d was sufficient reason to dis
~ lily crew. The umpire did not in
49, way indicate his desire to have
the Cornell crew return, followed them
to the finish and awarded them the
heat. No one regrets the outcome of
1 the affair more than the members of
the Cornell crew, who afterwards
frankly acknowledged their defeat by
Trinity Hall in a hard-rowed race, say
ing they had no excuse to offer and
that they were fairly beaten.
There IS little doubt that British
feeling is turning around a great deal
In favor Of the Cornell crew and in
the United States.
