CORNELL HENLEY CREW.

and the words. Where is Leander-
could be heard every few feet.
IAN English crew would never have
kept on said an excited Britisher.
On the grand stand among the Amer
leans the feeling was one of great dis
appointment. An American said:
well, L would rather they had licke d
us than have a thing like this
GIVEN TO CORNELL.
Every foot of the way to the finish
line the excitement increased, until at
the finish it was something tremen-
dous. The umpire's launch steamed
up to the finish amid much excitement
and loud EXPLANATIONS from all sides.
The umpire was not in any way dis
mayed and said: THE race is Cor
nell's. Leander did not start
The Cornell crew got very good
reception as they passed the winning
post, but there was some boasting
mingled with the English cheers and
Cornell yells. The Cornell crew then
proceeded to their boat house. The
men got out of their boat without dis
playing the least satisfaction or en-
of little Colson, who remarked: "We're
winners, but there was no race. The
other fellows made only four strokes
and stopped. 1t was entirely their
fault, for the referee said Go and
you bet we chaps went. But when we
saw our opponents were making no
effort we slowed up, as there was no
sense in firing ourselves. l can't i'm
agine what was the matter with the
other chaps, unless it was that they
We're towards. But we We're winners
just the same
81 am sure we would have won,"
said Roe, 80 L am sorry the Leanders
did not put themselves to the test.
Anyway, it was no fault of ours"
L suppose we should be enthusiast
tic,'' said Dyer, but there is little
to base it on
Hall said: 1.-The umpire said Co
and we could only obey
There was no glory in it, said
Spellman, but it was better than de-
feat"
The umpire informed the representa-
tive of the Associated Press that the
Cornell crew were perfectly right in
every way.
1.-The Leanders tell me that none of
them said Yes as to my inquiry
whether they were ready or not. But
we on the launch certainly so under
stood them"
Cornell will tomorrow meet the crew
of Trinity Hall, Cambridge, which
crew defeated the London Rowing
club crew today.

Cornell race on the day the regatta
closes. 1t remains to be seen whether
the offer will have any result Of
course many people will blame him
(Willan) for not calling the rowers
back, but it must be remembered that
there is no appeal against the UNI
pire's decision. 1t is not for us to
criticise such an eminent authority.
1t was an international contest, and
semblance of Partially towards an
English crew would have opened the
floodgates of American wrath.
Far and away the best race of the
day was that of the Leander Rowing
club and the Argonauts, of Toronto.
Time and again it looked as if the
Canadians were hopelessly defeated
but the manner in which they held on
suggested the tenacity of a terrier
and a rat. The final burst of speed
was worth travelling a hundred miles
to see. This magnificent struggle was
an excellent make-weight for the Cor
nell-Leander fizZle. Had it not been
for F. H. Thompson's mishap there is
no telling how his race with Hon. Ru-
pert Guinness, in the Diamond Souls.
would have ended. The manner in
which he went after Guinness was a
caution, and his pluck gained many
rounds of applause"

A MOTIVE FOR THE DESPER ATE
DEED OF CHARLES COR
MAN.
CHILD DEAD IN ST. PAUL.
HE TRIED HARD TO SECURE
MONEY TO COME TO THIS
CITY.
FAILING BY FAIR MEANS,
He Attempts to Secure 1t by Foul
An Interview With His
Wife.

CHICAGO, July 9.-The body of
the man who was shot and killed
by Policeman Rosenthal in front of
the Auditorium last night has been
identified as that of Charles Cor
man, who lived at the Hotel Somer-
set, Twelfth street and Wabash
avenue. From the laundry mark on
his shirt he was supposed to be G.
E. Cole, but the linen was borrowed
before the shooting occurred, and
his real identity was established
by the man who had befriended him.
Monday afternoon German received
a telegram from his wife in ST.
Paul, saying that his baby daughter
had died the night before, and urg-
ing him to come to her. He made
every effort to secure money to take
him to where his dead baby was,
and, after repeated failures, in a
moment of desperation he attempted
to rob Saloonkeeper McGloin that he
might have funds with which to go
to his wife. G.. E. Cole, the man
who loaned German the linen, and
of the dining room of the Union
League club. He roomed at the no.
tel with German, and knew him
well. Last night about o'clock
German met Cole as the latter was
leaving the club house, and showed
him a telegram from his wife, Cen
evieve German, telling him of the
death of his child. He tried to sell
a. large revolver to Cole, but the lat
ter did not have the amount neces-
sary-$1S. Then the two men tried
to pawn the weapon, but could get
no more than Sc on it. German
then tried to trade it at the railroad
offices for a ticket to ST. Paul, and,
this effort being unsuccessful, the
two men went back to the hotel.
German was very uneasy, and about
o'clock said he must renew his eff
forts to get the money. He started
down town, and was not seen again
by Cole until his body was identi-
fed. In Germans trunk We're found
letters of recommendation from va
rious bar rooms where he had been
employed, one of them being from
the Grand Pacific hotel in Chicago.
All the testimonials spoke of him as
a man of integrity Earlier in the
day the body was identified as that
of George E. Cole, of Denver, but
the papers establish his identity as
German beyond a doubt.

hours before, and the father expected
here yesterday morning had neither
arrived nor explained his absence.
Upon bed in the same room cooed
laughingly little Della, the surviv-
ing child of the stricken mother.
Without being fully informed of the
extent of her aff1iction, young Mrs.
German told that she had married
her husband in st. Paul two years
ago. They Immediately left the city,
and have since resided in New York,
Chicago, Boston and at various other
points.
The husband had been a travelling
man previous to his marriage, being
employed, at one time, for Chaplin &
Gore, the great liquor firm of Chicago.
Since his marriage, he had done no
regular work, but had received some
assistance from his brother, George
German, who is a travelling agent for
some agricultural implement house Of
Boston. She believed it was the Wal
worth Manufacturing company. He
had another brother, Harvey German,
who had once been a well known
bicycle rider of Brockton, Mass. She
described her husband lovingly, amidst
her sobs, as being always most devoted
to herself and the children. He was a
tall, handsome man with a dark brown
moustache and dark blue eyes. He had
not been a drinking man. He had
never been involved in any criminal
trouble. Four months ago she re-
turned here to be with her mother.
A month later her little boy was born.
The father had been financially I'M
fortunate, and could not come to her
side. He had written frequently from
Chicago, and was expected here soon.
Last Sunday the baby was taken seri-
ously ILL., She at once telegraphed her
husband, care of the Great Northern
hotel, but received no reply. AT
o'clock the same day the child was
dead. Monday morning she received
a telegram, announcing that her mes
sage had just arrived; and inquiring
anXiously about Darling" Mrs. Cor
man telegraphed her husband to come
home Immediately. He had been
anXiously looked for the whole day
yesterday, and the news of his des-
perate death first broke the suspense.
Other membrs of the family explained
that Charles was known to gamble, but
that his unsuspecting wife had been
kept in ignorance Of the truth. Mrs.
German would scarcely have the
money to send for her husbands re-
mains.

street at 1:45 a. m. At o'clock it
had enveloped the building, which
is a brick one four stories high. On
the upper floor from dozen to twen-
ty hackdrivers, expressmen and 9TH
er employees were sleeqing. But a
few are known to have escaped, and
it is believed that some have already
persisted. One man, whose name is
given as Cummings, leaped from an
upper story window, and was prob
ably fatally injured. He was car
ried to a hospital in a terribly
bruised condition. AS the men were
sleeping in inner rooms, away from
the street, it is scarcely believed
that all could have escaped. In the
basement are fifty horses, most of
them valuable, not one of which has
escaped.
The building, with contents, is be-
lieved to be worth over 100000. 1t

THE OTHER WINNERS.
Trinity and EIOn Lead for the
Challenge Cup.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS, July g.
When the first crews were started at
noon a very strong wind was blowing
from the Buckinghamshire shore, Civ
ing the crews pulling on that side of
the river a great advantage. In fact
it was predicted that every crew pull
ing along the Bucks shore today would
win, unless it was decidedly inferior
to its competitor.
In the first heat for the Grand Chal-
lenge cup, Trinity Hall Rowing club,
Cambridge, beat the London Rowing
club eight easily, by four lengths, in
1876. The head wind prevented fast
time. AS Elton padded up to position
the public school crew was received
with great enthusiasm, and when they
won the second heat for the Grand
Challenge cup, beating the Thames
Rowing club, there was the loudest
cheering of the day. The Thames club
led slightly at the start, but in spite
of bad steering Elton soon gained the
lead and kept it throughout, winning
easily, in splendid form, in one and
quarter lengths, and the best time of
the day, 7:341s.
In the first heat for the Thames
Challenge cup, St. Johns college, Ok
ford club, beat the eight of the Thames
Rowing club by length and a half, in
81. In the second heat for the
Thames Challenge cup, the crew of the
Nereus Boat Club of Amsterdam Uni
versity beat the crew of the Lady
Margaret (St. Johns college, Cam
BRIDGE Boat club. The Dutchmen
simply walked away from the Lady
Margaret crew, and won as they liked
by two and a half lengths. They re-
ceived the heartiest kind of a recep-
ton as they crossed the line.
In the first heat for the Stewards
challenge cup, for tours, the crew of
the London Rowing club defeated the
crew of the Argonaut Rowing club, of
Toronto, Can. The boats started at
p. m. The Canadians were first away,

two to the minute, which placed them

BIMETALLIC CHALLENGE.
President Warner Issues One to

WASHINGTON, July S.-A. J. Warn
er, president of the American Bimetal-
lie league, has written letter to Hon.
Charles S. Fairchild, chairman of the
committee on sound currency of the
Reform club, New York, in which he
says:
1.-The bimetallic league respectfully
invites the committee on sound cur
rency to a discussion of the money
question, on distinctive propositions to
be agreed upon, and to be carried on
by questions and answers. 1 would
suggest that not more than five, nor
less than three on a side, be selected
to conduct the discussion; the discus
sion to be held at such time and place
as may be agreed Jpn.
Should this suggestion meet your ap-
prevail, would suggest an early meet
ing to agree upon the proposition to be
discussed, and the regulations under
which the discussion shall be con-
ducted.'

Leanders Furious When They Re.

Leanders Furious When They Re-
aIize Their Position.
HENLEY-ON-THAMEs, July o.
At o'clock the Cornell crew, in two
carriages, drove through the fields
to the starting point, the American
college boys running and yelling
after the vehicles, uttering cries
which astonished the Britishers.
The strong wind continued from
Bucks shore, and all of the four
races up to that time had been won
by crews pulling on the Bucks side
of the river. At 2:30 p. m. the Lean
ders padded down the course to the
starting point. They looked in splen-
did form, and were loudly cheered
by the crowds on both banks of the
river. The United States ambassa-
dor, Hon. Thomas F. Bayard, and a
representative of the Associated
Press were on board the umpire's
launch. The excitement was at
fever heat when the course was
cleared in preparation for this, the
most important event of the day.
When the umpire put the crews in
position, Cornell was first in place,
and Leander slowly padded to the
point assigned to that crew. Several
boats followed in the wake of the
crews, and the umpire sharply or
dered them away, as they seemed
to seriously interfere with the Lean
ders.
The umpire then said: Hurry up,
Leander."
When the Leander was in place the
umpire cried, Are you ready?"
Cornell replied, Yes.
A member of the Leander crew
said first YES" and then the Lean
der stroke, c. w. Kent, turned and
cried, mo, no.
The umpire an instant before had
said, GO"
Leander at the word started, half
of the crew pulling for dear life, but
the others turned and shouted, mo;
not ready"
The umpire waved his hand to Cor
nell, which crew had taken the water
promptly when the word was given,
shot ahead and continued over the
course. The umpires boat at first
did not follow, and the Leander crew,
with the coxswain, F. Begg, in a ter
rible rage, pulled their boat toward
the umpire's launch, and Begg said:
II told you we were not ready"
FOLLOWING CORNELL.
To this the upmire made no reply and
his launch steamed ahead after the
Cornell crew, which was now far down
the stream. The Leanders, until the
speaking distance, continued to shout
wildly, I'VE are not ready; why did
you serve US so?' But the umpire did
not look at them and increased the
speed of his launch. In the meantime
the Cornell crew, pulling a steady.
even stroke, seemed satisfied that they
were in the right in continuing the
race. Passing the end af Regatta
island F. D. Colson, the coxswain, half
turned and held up his hands towards
the umpire's launch. But the umpire
waved them on. and Colson, with a
satisfied look, quickly resumed his po-
sition and gave a sharp order to the
crew, who had relaxed the tremendous
pace with which they had started. On
reaching the halfmile post, where the
crowds began to thicken, the Cornell
boys were loudly cheered. A few feet
beyond this there were excited shouts
coming from both banks of the river,
