CONFINED TO TARIFF BILL.

Washington, d. c., June 3O.-The
prospects are that there will be no other
legislation of Importance at this session
of Congress except the +lriff Dill 1t mas
been stated before that neither the
Hawaiian annexation nor any currency
legislation will come up IN the Senate.
1T is also known that quorum cannot
be maintained in the Senate once the
tariff bill is out Of the way AS soon as
the bill is sent to the House, the Senate
will take up the general deficiency bill,
and it is expected that considerable time
will be occupied with it. The Senate
will also consider a number of nomina-

CORNELL STAYS IN AT.
F'The Freshmen, Also, Win, Time 8 Min
utes p Is Seconds.

Poughkeepsie, n. Y, June 30.-Cornell
won by three-fOurths of a length; Cor
umbia second by one-third length over
Pennsylvania. The official time: Cor
nell 8 minutes q 1-5 seconds; Columbia
! minutes % 3-5 seconds; Pennsylvania,
8 minutes % 1-5 seconds.
The Freshman race over the two mile
course here this afternoon between three
! American methods was one of the most
remarkable in the annals of boat-racing
in this country. 1t was inspiring, mag
nifcent. The Freshmen of Cornell,
!, Columbia and Pennsylvania rowed with
their heads as well as with their bodies,
and showed science that was surprising.
1t was anybody's race until the instant
the flag dropped and the fact that but
two seconds divided the first and last
! crews, and that the boats Tapped over
each other very nearly half, is evidence
of the character of the struggle. The
time is not record breaking because Yale
made the same course in 8 minutes and
1872 seconds last Wednesday, but both
columbia, finishing second and Penn
sylvania finishing third, made better time
than did Harvard and Cornell finishing
in the same places last Wednesday. The
feature of the race was the wonderful
epurt made by the Columbia youngsters
in the last half mile, when they closed
np gap between themselves and Cor
nell SO fast that had there been another
eighth of a mile to row they would have
been in first place. A second feature was
the remarkable rowing Of the Pennsyl-
yania crew which had been said by it's
trainer to be in very bad shape. This
crew is a very much inferior crew to the
Pennsylvania Varsity crew, and the
critics are wondering whether Ellis
Ward has not something "up his sleeve
for Fridays race. The only criticism
on the race made tonight is that DIR.
Walter Peet, the referee, kept the crews
within so long at their stake boats with
their oars dipped that nervous strain
strain took off at least seconds from the
