ale made one or two starts in the morn
Ing, when they did not get off as we'll as
usual They were slow in getting away,
were irregular and did great splashing.
In the evening they had a better start,
put they seem sure to be led at the first by
the Leanders, who are very smart at start
ing. The Yale men, however, quickly set
tie down 10 their work. The New College
crew are also good starters.
They took spin this afternoon with
the Radley College crew, who are entered
for the ladies' challenge plate, and went
away from them in an easy style that was
much admired
The Leanders had race with She Eton
college crew: who are also entered for the
ladies' challenge plate. The latter did
better than was expected, but the Lean
ders easily held them.
The Thames crew are likely to be
formidable and also the Trinity Hall crew.
The winner of the heat between the first
Trinity and London Rowing clubs will be
dangerous in the finals if the wind should
favor them.
DIR. Mcdowell, though he has not yet
rowed the half course, has shown great
speed, and it is not unlikely that he will
win some OF the heats for the diamond
sculls. He will give his best competitors
good race. Rupert Guinness and Vivian
Nickalls are in prime condition. The lat
Ter sculls better than ever.
All the crews are healthy. A most bril-
liant and successful meeting is anticipated.
All things being equal, the Leander crew
has the consensus OF preference over Yale,
although the former may be defeated by
the New College crew.
The San Francisco call., 1896-07-07

the repeated Imprisonment of American citi-
zens, without due process of law, the annihila-
tion of American commerce, the frequent
alarms on our coast and the constant menace
to our peace, impose upon the Government OF
the United States the duty of restoring order
in Cuba.
We therefore favor the prompt interposition
of our Government, end believe q Government
satisfactory to the Cuban people should be
established as guarantee OF permanent peace
1t is stronger than the plank adopted at
st. Louis, which only calls for the friendly
offices of the Government. Ex-Speaker
Sulzer of the New York Assembly, one OF
the delegates from that State. has added a
paragraph 10 the plank calling for the
recognition of the Cubans' belligerency,
but that is believed by the Cuban plank
custodians to be inconsistent with the
Government intervention section, and 1t
is not likely to be included.

Being Unable to Secure Return n
of Their Money a Riot
Results.
MANY HEADS ARE CRACKED
Grand Stand Razed. Track and Fence.
Demolished and General Havoc
Wrought.

MINNEAPOLIS, MINI, July 6.-For a
couple OF hours tonight this city was
given over to mob rule and as a result
many people were injured, including sew
eral policemen. The trouble arose during
a female bicycle race. The management.
without previous announcement, raised
the price of admission from % cents to
81 %, and when the time for starting
arrived the star attraction, Dottie Farms
worth the champion woman rider OF the
world, was not visible, but was detained
at her home as result of illness.
The crowd refused to allow the race to
proceed and demanded their money back.
The treasurer had, however, departed
with the receipts, and when this fact was
ascer tanned the riders were pulled bodily
from their wheels, the track was covered
with tacks and broken glass, and the
Office was broken into by couple of thou
sand enraged and defrauded people.
When they discovered that there was no
money in sight they took their revenge
out by tearing up the track, razing the
grand stand, ripping fences down, smash
ing several buildings into kindling-wood
and doing all the damage possible.
A mob alarm was turned into police
headquarters and platoon OF fifty police
men was sent to the spot. During the
clearing of the grounds several people
were badly injured, including three po-
licemen, who were struck on the head
with bricks. Finally order was restored
and the injured men were removed to
their homes.
Action will be taken tomorrow against
the management, which includes several
prominent people, charging them with OBJ
tanning money under false pretenses.

SANTA ROSA AFFRAY.
Court Reporter Halls Chinese Cook As
suuIted in the Residence of His
EmDf0yec

SANTA ROSA, CAL, July 6.-Court Re-
porter George Hall of this city was awak-
ened about 2 o'clock Sunday morning by
what sounded to him like a highlander
war. Mr.. Hall hurriedly sought the room
of his Chinese cook. where he found, en-
gagged in bloody battle, the cook and a
strange Chinaman. The stranger had a
large but dull hatchet, which he had used
with great effect upon the domestic. After
a struggle Hail succeeded in securing the
would-be murderer with rope and de-
livering him 10 police officer.
The object of the attack was robbery,
and the robber had entered the room dur
ing the cooks absence and there awaited
his unsuspecting countryman's return.
The first blow of the hatchet cut deep into
the cooks neck and the second laid his
scalp open for several inches. Only the
dullness of the hatchet prevented a MUIR
der.
IL is believed that the two had been
gambling, and that the cook made large
winning, while the other lost enough to
make him desperate. Being familiar with
his more lucky companions quarters. he
laid his plans to recoup by murder and
robbery
