Washington, June 11.-Juage Often.
hoeffer this morning resumed his arpu-
ment on the motion co order an acouittaI
In the trial of John S. Shriver, Washing
ton correspondent of the New York Mail
and Express, charged with contumacy
committee of 1894. Judge Ditten6oeffer
devoted most of his time to day to the
exposition of the proposition that Mr..
Shriver, as newspaper man, was priyi-
legged not to disclose the sources OF his
information.
The vilest wretch on earth, said Judge
Dittenhofter, was he who won a mans
confidence and then betrayed it. .sIn NV
long experience i'll public life and at the
par : he said, II have had occasion many
times to give my confidence TO newspaper
men, and whatever other sins they may
have been guilty of, not one ever was
guilty of violation of confidence,
You do not mean to say, Judge, ~ In
terrupted Judge Bradley shat the VIOLA
tion of promise to comply with legal
duty would degrade or dishonor a wit
ness?',
"A newspaper man,'' replied Judge
Dittenhoeffer, "who would reveal the
sources of his Information with regard to
n matter of public moment would dis
grace ana degrade himself within the
meaning of the law"
Judge Dittenhoefer pointed out that
the Maryland legislature at its last ses-
sion passed law recognizing the princi-
pie OF privileged communications to news
paper men by eXempting them from tes-
tifying as to the sources of their infor-
nation.
Judge Bradley replied that the lerisla-
tive branch certainly had the power to
exempt classes of persons, but that it was
purely Legislative function. The privi-
leges granted to lawyers, physicians and
the clergy were granted bv the legislative
power. Such privileges could not rest ON
common.law. He could not imagine, he
said, judicial investigation in which it
would be necessary for newspaper man
to disclose the name of some one who told
him something.
When Judge Dittenhoeffer concluded
Assistant District Attorney Baker re-
piled. at the outset he said, he consid-
cred it n waste or time to discuss the
claim of privilege put forward by the de-
tense. 1t had no foundation, he said
Judge Bradley surprised those in the
courtroom by promptly agreeing with
him. The proposition of the defense that
IL the defendant mad testified it would
have degraded and disgraced him. Mr..
Baker also dismissed without fargument.
When Mr.. Baker finished Judge Bradley
said he would like to hear the govern
ment on the question OF the legal sub
poena of Mr.. Shriver. Yesterday tesui-
mony was given to show that Mr.. Shriyer
voluntarily. agreea to accept summons
without legal process. Judge Bradley
said 1t was question, under the statute.
whether legal summons was not required.

THE SPORTING WORLD.

Poughkeepsie, the scene of the re-
cent hard fought battle between the oars
men of the big universities, is to have
regatta next year, but it is not likely
that all of the universities represented
this year will send crews. Yale rowed
there this year against her willard up
ON Harvard's promise that If Yale
would rev at Poughkeepsie Harvard
will do MS Yale wishes next year. The
Yale men made no conoealment of the
fact that they do not like the Pough-
keepsie course because of the boats con-
stantly passing, and the winds, which
interfered with practice, and the uncer-
taihty of the tides. OF course Cornell is
willing to enter next year. Columbia
and Pennsylvania, having nowhere else
to row, arc also to be counted upon,
and the University of Wisconsin is will
ing to send her crews
Yale prefers to continue her dual
rowing contests with Harvard, and IN
less there should be decided change
Of opinion ut the university, caused by
Cornell's defeat Of Yale and "a desire to
regain the lost supremacy from the Ith-
acans, there will be two series of var
sity races next summer. Yale aud Har-
ward. in all probability, will row ut
New London and Cornell, Pennsylva-
MIA, Columbia and Wisconsin at Pough-
keepsie. Even if Yale were willing to
row all Of tho other varsity crews
there would not be room OH the New
London course, and old Ellis sons have
no intention to follow Cornell's exam
pie this year and race each Of two crews
twice in two weeks. -New York Com

Return of the Boston A. q.

The return of the Boston Athletic
association to the ranks of tho clubs
holding membership in tho New Eng
land association of the Amateur Athlet-
ic union is viewed with great satisfac-
ton by the men having at heart the
welfare of amateur athletics in this
country. The Boston Athletic associa-
ton is by long odds the strongest ath-
letic club i'll the New England states,
and it cannot be denied that it's with
drawGl was felt by the Amateur Ath-
letic union. The loss was not entirely
the unions, however, for the Boston
club found it's voluntary seclusion dis
advantage ut times. About two years
ago tho club withdrew from tho union
on account of dissatisfaction with tho
management of the New England asso-
citation, and more particularly OH nc
count of the support shown to the Suf-
folk Athletic club. After tho Suffolk
clubs membership was sumuarily can
celed by the association the Boston Ath-
letic association showed an inclination
to join the Amateur Athletic union
again, and the club was duly elected at
the last meeting of the New England
association. New York Sun.

Friction In Cycle Chains.

Tests which have lately been made
relative to the friction in bicyole chains
reveal tho fact that with the lengthen-
ing of chains, caused by wear. friction
increases very rapidly. a new chain Of
the most approved pattern showed about
half Of l per cent friction, while u
chain which had heightened so that it
was necessary to move link had an
efficiency of about 60 per cent, showing
a loss of power of about 40 per cent.
This is ono of the disadvantages with
which riders of the very cheap, poorly
constructed wheels have to contend.
The tempered blockssand sides are con-
structed Of soft. poorly tempered steel.
They not only stretch to Il great extent,
but stretch unovenly, making the chain
out of pitch and causing vast amount
OF friction, which is generally attrib-
uted to tho bearings, when i'll fact the
latter may he working properly. New
