CORNELL'S GALLANT CREW
1t Is Reported to Be Now in the
Very Pink of Con-
ditiOn.
The American Oarsmen the Recipi-
ents of Many Social Cour-
teSies.

HAVRE- ON-THE-TH ENGLAND
June 3O.-A representative of The United
Press visited this place to-day for the pur-
pose of seeing the crews that are to take
part in the coming rowing regatta. He
found the river rather lower than usual
owing to the light rainfall of late, but the
reaches from Kingston upward were as
green and as beautiful as ever.
The Canadian oarsmen complain of the
heat
The Cornell crew are in the pink of con-
dition and henceforth will seek to main
tain all that hard work has done for them.
They now practice squirting and starts.
They have received many social invita-
tions, but their training precludes their
acceptance.
This afternoon the representative of The
United Press visited Fawley court, having
been invited there by w. D. Mackenzie,
the owner of the place. s. White of SYRIA
cuse is staying at Henley and is greatly
interested in the Cornell crew The Ithaca
boys recently visited the Leander, Caius,
Cambridge and other clubs
Some of the members of the Cornell
Glee Club visited Henley to-day. They
win attend the, regatta and will possibly
give concert here. The Cornell crew
have accepted the invitation of Guy
Nicols to dine with him and stay at his
house over night after the race The Lon
don Sporting Club, OF whiS7 bIr. mc0ai-
mont is president, is also anxious to enter
tain. the American oarsmen, but no date
has been fixed for their entertainment.
Elton College has entered crew in the
race for the Grand Challenge Cup. This
college has never competed before. 1t is
understood that the object in entering a
crew this year is to try the strength of the
Cornell crew. The entries, though fewer
this year than they were in 1894, report
better class of oarsmen.
The start will be made in the coming re-
gatta ON the firing of pistol, instead of
the ringing OF electric bells as heretofore.
The electric plant was struck by lightning
and its usefulness destroyed.
The Hon. w. F. Smith, NJ. P, and an
ex-Oxford oarsman, will entertain many
old rowing men at his Henley residence.

A CHINAMAN ORDAINED,
Hui Kin Created Regular
Minister of the Presby-
terrain Church..
He Is the First of His Race to Be
Thus Honored in the
East

NEW YORK, n. Y, June 30-Hui Kin,
native Chinaman, was last night or
dained minister in the University Place
Presbyterian Church with all the cere-
monies attending the Presbyterian ritual.
Hui Kin is an intelligent looking man,
about SIS years old, with scarcely any of
the physical characteristics of his race,
and for year and a half has had a
preachers license and has conducted a
Chinese mission at IA University Place
Unusual interest was attached to the
event as he is the first Chinaman who was
ever ordained for the Christian ministry in
this part of the country, and only two
other cases in the country are recorded,
these being in California.
Kin came to the United States about
twenty years ago, and five years later en-
braced Christianity. He came to New
Y ork ten years ago, and Immediately took
up religious work among his fellow-coun-
trymen in this city. He studied theology
under the direction of the New York
Presbytery and conducted missions under
its direction. The Rev. Arthur Brown
delivered an interesting ordination SER
mon.

CHARGED WITH BRIBERY.
Certain Members of the Illinois
Assembly to Be Prose-
Cuted.
Laboring Men Claim That Money
Was Paid to Defeat the Arbi-
tratlon Bill.

CHICAGO, ILL, June 30-The Chronicle
tomorrow will say: ut is expected there
will be some development of a practical
nature to-day or tomorrow in the move
ment to inaugurate prosecutions in the
Criminal Court against certain members
of the General Assembly on the charge of
bribery.
SIN addition to the charges published
yesterday it is said that the labor organiza-
tons have presented to the Governor
evidence showing that the arbitration bill
was defeated by corrupt methods. The bill
is now in the hands Of committee, and it
is expected that it will never be reported
on"
The Chronicle will also publish special
telegram from Springfield saying that the
Governor is still non-committal, but does
not deny that the allegations with regard
to prosecution of legislators are true.

.PL|MMER To MEET DIXON
A Fight Between the Little Men
Has Practically Been
Arranged.
They Will Meet at Dallas, Texas
Previous to the Corbett-Fitz-
simmons Mill.

NEW YORK. n. Y, June 30.-rhat
George Dixon of Boston and Billy Plimmer,
the clever lightweight fighter who halls
from Birmingham, England, will fight at
Dallas, Tex, for the weight cham
pionship and purse of $500 during the
week that Corbett and Fitzsimmons decide
their match is now practically assured.
Joe Vendig, who was chiefly instru-
mental in bringing Corbett and Fitzsim-
mons together, has been working hard re-
Gently to bring Plimmer and the little
colored champion to an agreement regard
ing the weight at which they shall fight.
The boys have been anxious for some years
to meet in the ring and settle the question
of superiority, but difference of opinion
regarding weight has rendered all efforts
to make a match futile. Plimmer has held
that they should fight at lis pounds, weigh
in at the ringside, while Dixon has con-
tended that the fighting weight should be
at 118 pounds.
which indicates that a compromise re-
garding the weight question has been
reached, which will probably result in the
men being matched. He said that Tom
O'Rourke, the manager of George Dixon,
and "Parson" Davies, who is acting for
Plimmer during the latter's absence in Eng
land, have had an extended conference, at
which it was decided to have the boys
fight at 1i6 pounds, weigh in four hours
before the battle. As Pimmer gave Davies
authority to act for him, it is thought that
the battle is now an assured thing, and
that articles will soon be drawn up and
signed. 1t was also agreed at the confer
ence that the fight shall take place the
night before the t-Fitzsimmons
battle

Vic Casey jumped into passing vehicle
containing a man and woman, and at the
point OF pistol compelled them to Jump

Almost before they had time to obey his
command, Chief of Police Milt Jones
opened fire on the escaping prisoner, who
promptly returned 1t. A perfect fusillade

Casey and Officer Jones were instantly

SPAIN,S INTENTIONS.
She Proposes Deasing With the Insu1rec-
ton Nth an Iron Hand.

ton Nth Iron Hand.
WASHINGTON, d. c., June 30.-It is
not three days since the report OF
the capture of the insurgent General
Maceo was first made public, and no
ore in Washington, not even the Spanish
Minister, is able to confirm the story. 1t
is looked upon in diplomatic quarters as
erroneous. Minister de LONE himself says
that had there been any truth in the re-
port he would have been advised of it be-
fore this. The report of the capture of this
insurgent general followed closely upon
the heels of the announcement that the
Spanish Cortez contemplated the issuance
of budget of considerable proportions for
the prosecution OF the war with Cuba. The
rumored capture of Maceo tends to "boom"
the proposed financial scheme.
The latest advices from Spain indicate
that the Home Government intends deal
ing with the instruction in Cuba with an
iron hand as soon as the rainy season on
the island is at an end. That will be early
in September Just now the conditions
prevent active military operations. All
the rivulers are now swollen streams and
cannot be forded 1t is impossible to
chase those in retreat or give battle to
those who stand their ground, and no
effort will be made to attack until the
weather changes.
Arrangements are being made for per-
feet patrol and for the capture of filibuster-
ing expeditions that may attempt to land.
With the limited number of vessels now at
the disposal of General Campos it has been
impossible for him to keep up an effective
patrol. His present force is small, al
though a number of his supporters are
gunboats of light draught that enables
them to run in and out of the arms of the
sea and the rivers where unwelcome craft
seek a landing. This is the arm of his
service that is to be materially strength
E-ened. Six small gunboats built at Cadiz
will be ready to send to theisland by the
end of July.
A commission, composed of Admiral
Cervera and Captains Forello and Villa
mil, has been appointed to purchase eight
cen gunboats; these will be secured in
England alta cost of 81, 200 900.
The 6O009O,0O0 francs. equivalent in
American money to $4,000, 900, voted by
the Cortez as an emergency fund for the
suppression of the instruction in Cuba,
is at the command of the Government, and
$4,000 men are ready to embark as soon as
General Campos gives the word. 1t is
confidently expected, therefore, that as
soon as the rainy season ends the COM
bined land and sea forces will be pushed

JACKSONVILLE, FLA, June 30.-A spe-
cial to the Times Union from Tampa, Fla,
says:
The Mascotte brought heavy passenger
list from Key West this afternoon, among
whom were number of cigarmakers for
new factories opening here. The list from
Havana was lost but among them was a
gentleman who is well posted on Cuban
affairs. He states that Maxine Gomez
surprised a garrison of 1900 Spaniards at
Alta Garcia and had a-severe battle. with
them. He cut their ranks all to pieces and
routed the enemy with heavy losses. After
he had taken the town he burned it.
Colonel Borero, one of the Cuban lead
ers, was killed by his own men, but it is
said by some by accident; by others it is
believed that Spanish soldiers who had
gone over to the Cubans are responsible for
his death. 1t is asserted that the Cubans
distrust, and rightfully, these Spanish re-
cruits. Marti was murdered by supposed
friends who had come to the assistance of
the Cubans, but in fact only came to lead
the patriotic leader into the deathtrap of
the Spaniards.
Gomez is marching on Havana with 5000
men, and asserts that within a short time
he will water his horses in Rio del Almenda
and command the port with Cuban forces.
Campos has made demand for 1000
more troops, and now asserts that before
the rebellion can be queiled thousands of
heads will have to be cut off.
These passengers assert positively that
the instruction is spreading and gather
ing force everywhere. The Spaniards
thought the rebellion was crushed when
Marti was slain. If such an idea had ever
