the men do not get out of condition. a general
estimate can be made OF their relative strength.
CornelS crew will probably be good last
year. and that was the fast crew. Harvard will
unquestionably be stronger than last year. and
had the Harvard OF 1896 had the staying
power that it should have had. ii might have
closed up at least some Of the two lengths and
half which interviewed between it and the win
ming Cornell crew. Yale. has been said has
a strong crew not yet in form. If they
brought into the proper condition their boat will
move fast. 1t would therefore appear that. with
favorng conditions. probably the quickest time
yet made on tho Hudson will be made June
"a Some weeks ago Cornell looked like
the winner than either of the others. To-day
Harvard probably has little advantage, and 1t
seems probable. therefore. that the first place
will likely be between Harvard and Cornell
though Yale, being still unknown quantity,
has provided Cooks ability can bring the men
to the proper point unquestionably its chance
at the winning. AT all events, the three crews
will not be far apart at the end OF the four miles,
something Unforeseen happens. to see practically
a neck-and neck run for the first two miles.
Harvard very likely leading during the first
part. Probably it will be less close at
the third mile, and hence the itself will de-
pend the capacity of the winning crew to
maintain its speed and to show its power in
spurts in the fourth mile.

But q careful observer Will see that the bodies
IN the Yale boat dip little more both the full
reach and the finish That is. the head OF
man In the Yale boat rises and falls, has
tendency that way. while in the Harvard boat
the head moves back and forth more the
same plane, though not absolutely So Of course.
This gives TO the Yale boat a certain dip which
retards the speed and makes the boat check
little between strokes while Harvard's boat for
the first time in at least five years moves along
even keel without loss OF velocity between
strokes At the same time the power in Yale's
stroke is greater than in Harvards. and IL Yale
Is to Guido Harvard it will be because of this
greater power and in spite Of not because OF.

4 Washington, May 17.-There is posi-
bility of clash between the friends of
the belligerency resolution and the tariff
bill. The advocates Of the Cuban resolu-

takenup under agreement. Senator Morgan

time. Senator Mason, who is an enthu-
siastic supporter of the Cuban cause said
tonight that if a vote should be prevented
this week by filibustering tactics, the
tariff bill could not be taken UP Monday.

Turks Win In Yesterdays Fight But At

London, May 1S.-The Daily Chronicle
correspondent at Athens says the follow
ing is the official account of the fighting
yesterday:
cover fifty thousand Turks simultane-
ously and continuously attacked our
whole line with the greatest ferceness.
Our artillery and infantry did splendid
work. Twice all the regiments of the
enemy wavered and fed, though their at
tack was soon renewed with fresh forces,
which, in turn, we We're able to hurl
back.
The stubborn resistance and splendid
vigor of our troops finally compelled the
enemy to give way altogether. All the
attacks on our left We're similarly re-
pulsed On our right we did not fare SO
well. The first attack of the enemy was
repulsed; but they massed in immense
forces for the next attack. Our first line
wavered and was broken; the wing would
have been turned but for the timely ar
rival of the reserves.
"Still the enemy had gained ground
which it was then impossible to regain
and we, therefore, fell back on Bousi.
"The Turks had fifty thousand troops
with 80, ,00D reserves. Our force was only
81, COO. We have lost heavily, but the
enemy must have lost thousands"
