ALL ARE FRESH AND 1T IS
THOUGHT THE AMERICANS
WILL LEAD.
This Will Leave The Struggle Be-
tween Mcdonald And Young
Teneycke, Both Of Whom
Are Confident Of BecOm-
ing The VictOrS.

New York, July ia special to the
World from London says:
1t is quite probable that as result
of the first heats for the Diamond
Souls at Henley on Thames, the final
struggle for the amateur championship
sculing prize OF the world will be be-
tween the two Americans Mcdowell,
of Chicago, and young Teneyck.
Mcdowell beat Edward Guinness more
easily than last year and Guinness is
held by experts as to be as good, as if
not better than his brother, Rupert,
who won the diamond last year.
A World correspondent saw DR.. Nc
Dowell Immediately after he landed
from his boat, and he showed no ex-
haustion whatever. Guinness, on the
other hand, was dead beat, having
rowed very gallant race. Mr.. Nc
Dowell said: 81 have two more heats
to win before l get into the finals, but
! have good hope of getting there. 1
think have improved since last year,
but it worries me to have to wait for
days before / know what the result is
going to be.
Young Teneyck has been very lucky
in drawing, so that he has to row only
one heat before he gets into the final.
If we meet then he will have the adj
vantage of beins. fresh, but that is the
fortunes of war"
Teneyck was also seen by a World
L.. L..
dition. He said:
Il am perfectly satisfied with my
treatment here. The committee acted
most fairly over the allegation that /
was a PROFESSIONALISM allegation made
not by an Englishman, but by a coun-
tryman of my own, who had a differ
ence with my father and thought to
hit him through me.
I have met with thoroughly fair
play all around and am very glad to
say it,"
Teneyck, sr., who is coaching his
son, said:
81 think the boy has a good chance
of being in the finals, and my belief
is that he will meet DR.. Mcdowell in it.
The fight will be hard one If they do
meet.
1T is a remarkable fact that all the
strangers racing at Henley won their
first heats and Hollow fashion. Dr.Mc-
Dowell beat Guinness in the diamonds,
and Blusse,, a Dutchman, beat Fair
balm, the Cambridge University man,
equally easy in another heat of the
same race, while the Dutchman beat
the Thames rowing club in the second
heat of the Thames challenge cup"
The only London paper that says
anything unfriendly to the American
is the Pal Mall Gazette, which |
summing up the chances of the COM |
petitors in the diamond SOULS, says:
Some think Beaumont will win; |
others believe Phillips will carry off /
the prize, but nobody thinks McDow-
III. the American, has chance to see
there are few who would care to see
Teneyck a winner. He killed any
,hance of popularity he had, by scull-
ng a trial at o'clock in the morning."

he is Francis Hermans, were certain

INSURANCE WAR

Chicago, July ia rate war has
been started between union and nom
union insurance companies, which it is
believed will result in a general reduc-
ton In the cost of policies on dwellings
and contents, private barns, churches,
school houses and contents and on
brick mercantile buildings in Chicago
and Cook county. The reduction in
premiums will amount to from % to
30 per cent and is the result of a sched-
ule Of prices on this class Of buildings
which goes into effect at once in the
northern part of Illinois. outside of
Cook county and the southern part of
Wisconsin.

CUTTING RATES.

Minneapolis, Mimi, July 15.-The
Northwestern Miller says:
There no longer appears to be any
doubt about rates on flour to the sea-
board being demoralized and they seem
to be getting worse every day, accord
ing to common report. The understand
ing now is that certain lines are maxi
ing rate equivalent to twenty cents
from Minneapolis to New York on do
nestle business, while the tariff is
twenty-five and a half cents. Some
efforts have been made since July
to hold the rates on domestic ship
ments but the same can hardly be said
of rates to foreign ports. At one time
the inland rate on export flour was
even lower than 171k cents, and it is
possible that it is so now. With mat
tiers as they stand today it would cause
little surprise in shipping circles to see
some line issue a tariff on the basis
of 1715 cents to New York or lower.
1t is thought by many that such a
course will have to be adopted to build
rates up on a sure foundation.

Attempting to Keep Secret the Fact

Attempting to Keep Secret the Fact
That He is Fighting.
New York, July ia dispatch to
the Herald from Havana says:
The invasion of Mantanzas by insur-
gent forces on their march westward
is now an accomplished, fact. The To-
cal papers are prohibited from pub
fishing even accounts Of official" vic
tories in that province, the object be-
being to discredit the news of unusual
activity.
Gen. Weyler may suppress news but
he cannot conveniently hide wounded
soldiers, these keep coming in.
The Herald's correspondent at Man
tanzas city writes that Col. Alvarez
Armandez with seventy men, was COM
pletely routed July II, near Jaguey
Grande by insurgent General Garlic.
The Spanish loss twenty killed and
about the same number wounded.
During the fight twenty-five Spaniards
deserted and went over to the insur-
gents.
\ report is current and is generally
believed in Mantanzas that the insur-
gents have attacked and partially
burned Cardenas. There are fully
5000 rebels in the vicinity Of MAINTAIN
zas City and Cardenas. Gen. Molina
left Mantanzas with strong column.
The owner of the Alexander estate
near Vayajas has been ordered by the
Spaniards to garrison his estate.
Gen. Weyler has not succeeded in
capturing Gomez and he evidently has
given up the idea, for he has left Sane
tot Spiritus and is now in Cienfuegos
on his way back to Havana. Gomez is
said to be in Mantanzas, but there is
reason to believe that he is again di-
recting operations from headquarters
now and trouble is had in Monlo Suro
and in Santa Clara.
A manifesto signed by Gen. Gomez
and addressed to his partisans has
been freely circulated in Havana.

GOLD IN A DESERT.

Phoenix, Arizona, July 15.-John F.
James and Henry Blake have returned
from the region near the Mexican bor-
der, bringing a story of extreme suffer
ing and of success in the discovery of
the famous California mine, one of the
most famous of the lost mines of the
southwest. The mine lies eighty miles
south of Satinet station, on the South
ern Pacific, in region that appears
absolutely 'waterless. The men and
their burr,s were 'compeGed ~ live by
drinking the bitter juice of the cactus
The men are terrible broken through
their sufferings on the blazing desert.
They could stay at the mine only a
short time, but brought back samples
of gold specked ore taken from the bot
tom of the shaft where were the tools
left by the miners of thirty years ago.
They will return as soon as they regain
strength.

ANGEL HAS STARTED.

Our Minister to Turkey viii Sail for
his Destination Saturday.
Ann Arbor, Mich, July 15-President
Angel and wife left last night for New
York on their way to Turkey. They
sail for Havre on Saturday on the Nor
mandie, and will go by the overland
route to Constantinople. Before leav-
ing DR.. Angel was questioned as to the
nature of his mission and the legth of
time he would probably stay abroad.
His replies were diplomatic in the ex-
IRENE. In regard to his return he said
he had been granted a years leave of
absence by the regents and could not
tell when he would be back. The general
opinion here seems to be that he will
leave Turkey at the end of a year when
his special work has been completed.

THE INTERNATIONAL sUNDAY-sCHOoL
LESSON.
January I7,iso5. Acts IL, a2-47.
cOpyrIghted BY Davis W. clark.

n luAklluuc NohNeEANWs
An explosion in a city Implies the in
Simultaneous gathering OF crowd. The
detonatlon which precedes the wonders
of Pentecost is the signal for the hasty
assembling OF a staring and pushing
multitude. AS in every crowd, even on
the most serious occasions, so now, there
are some testers VINO make themselves
merry over the apostles ecstasy.
After that anthem in many tongues-a
miraculous psalmody, sounding the
praises OF the assembled Saviour. Peter
that mouth Of the apostleg," stands
forth to preach the first gospel sermon.
He shows remarkable tact, persever-
ance, and courage in handling an audi
tory prejudiced against MIN. His chief
appeal Is to their own scripture: to Joels
prediction OF the effusion OF the spirit in
the last days; and to David'S prophecy
of the MessIRh's resurrection and ascen-
sion. His logic Is invincibie. Fact fits
prophecy as tenon does mortise.
The men who began by calling the
apostles "drunkards," end by address,
Ing them as brothers" Prejudice gives
place to confidence, pride to humility.
There Is a great awakening, attended by
conviction and conversion. The genu-
ineness of their faith Is attested by their
immediate submission to baptism
Nhore sprang into being that day, as q
result of sermon, sign, and wonder, the
Apostolic Church. In Luke'S lovely
Forfeiture which follows, we find such
features as praise, unity, generosity, Joy,
moderation, steadfastness. The church
was an unseltish brotherhood, in which
the principle Of altrulsm was regnaat.
In transitional epoch, when in
church and state, society was character
lied by q trucking, equivocal, time
serving disposition, one little heroic com
pany stood forth as the very ideal of
constancy. It Is recorded, "They were
steadfast:" and steadtastness in their
day and cause meant martyrdom.
They were steadfast in the apostles
doctrine; /. e., their oral teaching.
Though "golng to church" marked them
as christians" and subjected them TO
ridicule and danger, they persisted in go
ing. They were steadfast IN the apps
ties fellowship. They said by action
which always speaks louder than words,
1.-THE apostles company Is good enough
for me- SteadtaSt in the breaking OF
bread" in the prayers" !. e., the sacra-
ment and the prayer-meeting.
Steadfastness-whata word to conjure
by! 1t Is the sine qua non Of success In
art, literature, commerce, politics as well
as religion.
