HARYARD CREW HARD At YORK.
Crews Have Busy Day on the Hudson at
Poughkeepsie.

Poughkeepsie, N. Y, June 11.-Inf1u-
fact that Harvard made time trip
over the four-mile course this morning,
but principally to take advantage of
the favorable conditions that prevailed,
Ellis Ward sent his first varsity crew
over the course against time this even
ing. After taking the Pennsylvania
freshmen on a row up the river for
three miles and back, Coach Ward had
his leading eight get into the shell and
paddle leisurely up to the starting
point The so-called second varsity,
which is nothing more than a crew of
substitutes, one or two men of which
may get places in the regular boat,
trailed along behind, and under orders
from the coach they lay-to at the first
mile point to wait for the other crow to
| come down.
The ebb tide was about slack, but it
was still running ebb to some extent
in mid-stream, and Ward had his men
pull we'll out in the river for the start.
Then, after giving them some prelimi-
nary Instructions, he shouted Coz
through his megaphone, and the eight
went off nicely at 34-stroke. The first
mile was made in 5:25. Then the Sec
! ond varsity fell in alongside, and ii
/ looked as if there might be a pretty
race The substitutes, however, were
no match for the first crew, and at the
end of the next mile. which the latter
made in six minutes fiat, the substi-
tues were five lengths in the rear. AT
the bridge, which marks the third mile,
and which the first crew made in 6:15,
the substitutes had dropped far behind
and were splashing water like a side
wheel steamboat. On the last mile the
| varsity showed that they possessed
good staying power by making it in $50
and finished the four miles in 23:10
There was one change in the PennsyI-
vania boat to-day, Stearns being given
! a trial at No. in place of Bush.

PEACE CONFERENCE ADJouRNs
Pending the SuItan's Decision Regardin.
the Evacuation of Thessaly.

Constantinople, June 11.-A further
adjournment of the peace conferences
has been agreed to at the request of
Tewfik Pasha, the Turkish minister for
foreign affairs, on the ground that the
sultan has not decided the question OF
retention or evacuation Of Thessaly by
the Turkish troops The other points
brought forward as basis for the ar
rangement of permanent peace between
Turkey and Greece, with the exception
Of the amount of the indemnity to be
Epaid by the latter country have been
practically settled. The adjournment
has created a bad impression in diplo-
matte circles.
The Turkish government has issued
circular to the powers, with the view
to obtain their support in the peace
negotiations; but thus far Russia alone
has replied, expressing the opinion that
the question of indemnity and the cap
itulations appear less difficult to settle
than the delimitation of Thessaly. This
reply is regarded in Turkish circles as
justifying the hope that Russia will
support the retrocession Of Thessaly,
but this opinion is not shared by the
members of the foreign diplomatic corps
in this city.

THE CARRINGToN PUBLISHING co
DYNAMITE OUTRAGE IN KANSAS.
Dastarily Attempt to Kill the Governor OF
soldiers Home.

Leavenworth, Kan, June 11.-An at
tempt was made upon the life of Gov
ernor Andrew ]. Smith of the National
Soldiers home, and his wife and daugh-
ter, between 4 and a. m. to-day, by
some person who is as yet unknown.
Dynamite was employed in the out
rage, and the explosion badly damaged
the governors residence. Mrs. Smith
had a miraculous escape from death,
the base of the explosion being directly
beneath her bed chamber. Besides be-
ing cut and bruised by broken glass
and flying bric-a-b -brac and furniture,
she was completely prostrated by the
frightful shock and is now in a precari-
Gus condition. Governor Smith and his
daughter, Miss Daisy. occupied rooms
on the second floor and We're far enough
removed from the explosion to escape
the serious consequences suffered by
Mrs. Smith.
Joseph w. Oliver, a dishonorably dis
charged veteran, has been arrested by
the police Of this city He said he was
sorry the explosion had not killed the
governor.

YALE CREW AT PRACTICE.
A Busy Day at Gales Ferry-'Varsity Beats
the Freshmen.

Gales Ferry, Conn, June lit was
the most favorable day for rowing
that the Yale crew has experienced
since coming here for training. The
sun shone all day and the water was
almost as smooth as a mill pond. 1t
was busy day for the oarsmen, and
the examinations both morning and af-
ternoon interfered considerably with
the practive work. After the row over
the four mile course in the morning the
crew did not go out on the water again
until 6 o'clock this evening, when the
two crews raced against each other
with the Varsity, but little ahead at
the finish, of the four mile course.
1t has been visiting day at the quar-
ters and a picnic party from Norwich,
which occupied Fairview grove, adja-
cent afforded the boys considerable d.
vertisement. It is expected now that
favorable weather is assured that the
real hard work will be commenced and
considerable Improvement in form is
looked for soon.

WEYLER VIII NOT BE RETIRED.
Senior del Castillo Denies the Report
Policy of Spanish Ministry.

POnCy OF spanish MINISTRY
London, June 12.--The Madrid corre-
spordent Of the Fall Mall Gazette says
that it is thought that the cabinet as
at present constituted will continue
only during the summer sojourn of the
court at Sebastian, and that upon the
queen regents return to the capitol it
will be radically changed.
Senior del Castillo denies the retire.
ment of Captain General Weyler.
Captain General Weyler has sent a
telegram to the premier requesting
that municipal elections be held imme-
diately in Cuba This may be the pre-
cursor of other conciliatory movements
on his part, but Captain General Wey-
ler's antecedents are not such as to in
spire confidence among the people of
the island with regard to his bona fide
action on reforms.
Reports are current that a private
understanding exists between Senor
Canovas and Senior Sagasta, by the
