IRx cable to The Assoclated Press ]


LONDON, July 8, 1S97-The Prince of
Wales today inspected the Colonial
troops at Buckingham Palace and be-
slowed a medal commemorative of the
Jubilee upon each man present. The en-
tire force passed the Prince in single file.

eral PAGES away, the Colonial soldiers sa-
luted singly and then turned towards the

THE MAH0MMEDAN OUT
BREAK.
rBy Cable to The Associated Press.I


CALCUTTA, July 8, 1ss7.-The news
from Chitpore is again disquieting. Hun
dreds of Mahommedans are congregating
to pray in the mosque where the original
dispute arose and led to the disturbances
of Wednesday and Thursday. The riot
ing, as already cabled, grew out of the
growing practice of the Mahommedans of
Selling and refusing to pay rent for GER
tain so-called mosques, built contrary to
the tents of the Mahommedan religion on
ground belonging to infidels. The demoli-
ton of mud hut, one of the so-called
mosques, led to the outbreak.
The Mahommedans sent to the country
districts for re-inforcements, appealing
to all true Mahommedans to come to the
aid of their co-religionists, and CONFLICTS
with the police and military ensued.
Europeans were assaulted wherever
found; all telegraphic communication
was cut off; buildings containing Euro
peans were beseged; and, owing to the
absence of the higher officials at Simla,
long time elapsed before the local forces
were allowed to fire on the rioters.
Eventually compromise was agreed
upon, based on the unconditional surren-,
der of the land to the Mahommedans;
but 1t is believed that this concession will
form dangerous precedent and that the
rioters will celebrate their victory
throughout india.
The slightest interference will cause
trouble to break out again.
There is a strong feeling in favor of
making an imposing display of military
force, and it is suggested that the author
tiles should parade all the troops of the
neighborhood through the disaffected CEN

AFTER THE BOAT RACE.
Referee Reynolds Makes a Statement
-Departure of The Crexys.


POUGHKEEPSIE. N. Y, July g. 1897
The great college rowing regatta of 1897
has passed into history and this morning
the town began to settle down TO its nor
NAL state, citizens and college men alike
regretting that the last race in the series
resulted so enthusiastically Much in
dignation was expressed by the local COM
mittee today because of the harsh criti-
cisms that were published this morning
of the manner in which the race was
conducted. Harris s. Reynolds, the
referee. who started this race at 7:19 P. M.
after several postponements, has been
widely criticised because he did not wait
longer. This morning Mr.. Reynolds made
the following statement to the Associated
Press
AT $50 the three judges signified that
they were satisfied with the alignment of
their boats, but came to the conclusion
that it was too rough to start them. Soon
afterward Columbia'S representative de-
manded that the race be started imme
diately, The Cornell men said nothing,
but Bapd ME-

the boats off it was with the full consent
of all judges. After the race they ex
onerated me completely and said that /

boats than they were for giving me the
WORD. SEC, q 49,
Many expert oarsmen who witnessed
the race agree that the swamping of the
Pennsylvania shell was due to their own
poor oarsmenship rather than to rough
water.

backed the Quakers against Columbia
with, his money. and he says that after
the first half mile the crew forgot form,
training and everything else, but simply
settled into a go-as-you-please pace,
which, in smoother water, would have
probably caused them to beat Columbia
but hardly Cornell.
The exodus of the crews began at $40

contingent left in a private car on a
regular New York Central train, taking
their boats and paraphernalia in a bag

world, started unostentatiously on his
journey and will ride most of the way
as he came to Poughkeepsie two weeks
ago, in the car with his pet shells.
The Columbia men left their quarters
at West Park this morning and returned
to New York by train. The steamer
Queen City started at an early hour for
New York with their shells on board.
The Pennsylvanians will leave for Phila-
delphia by train this afternoon after they
have loaded their shells in the Clyde Line
steamer, which is to bear the luckless
boats back home.

WHAT IS THE SULTAN
UP TO?

TBy Cable to The Associated Press.1
CONSTANTINOPLE July 8, 1S97.-The
delay in the peace negotiations between
Greece and Turkey is creating apprehen-
sions and a strange situation is the re-
suit. Everything tends to show that the
Sultan is desirous of gaining time, either
in the hope of a disagreement of the
Powers or N order TO allow the excite
ment among the Mahommedams to calm
down before yielding The Powers, how
ever, remain united and are apparently
determined not to yield anything but a
strategic rectifcation of the frontier.
The question most discussed in political
circles is whether, in the event of the
contumacy of Turkey the powers will pro-
ceed TO coerce her, and it is not believed
they could be brought to act in unison on
this point. The prevalent opinion, how
ever is that the Sultan will finally yield.
