ROWING AT HARVARD.
Revival of interest Promises Well for
Coming Season.

Cambridge, March 25.-Those who
know the sport and who have been fol-
lowing Harvard men closely for the past
few weeks, express the opinion that
there is a genuine revival Of interest in
rowing at the university, which prom
ises well for the coming season. With
nearly 100 men contesting for positions
in the weights, to say nothing of large
number of scrub fours and scullers, the
river even now presents a scene of great
activity every pleasant day. AS yet,
however, quantity is more conspicuous
than quality among the oarsmen.
The experience of last years race has
led the coaches this year to put special
stress on staying power in their selec-
ton of the varsity crew. The expert
ences of last years race have led the
coaches this year to put special stress
on staying power in their selection of
the varsity crew. Yet it is admitted
that there seems to be a lack of sturdy,
robust material for the coaches to work

eagerly to hear what explanation Me Nab could make when brought face to face with Tarpey, interposed with the remark addressed to McNab: "I say again that the convention is no place to settle this question. It Is purely personal question. Any man who says I am here to make John D. Spreckels speech or that I wear any mans collar Is a liar. I say it here openly" Mr. McNab to Foote-'"The conven- ton is the place to make these speeches. You can say what you please when you make Sam Rainey's speech in the convention"
 Foote-"If you mean to say that I have agreed to make Sam Rainey's speech or anybody else's speech in the convention you utter an absolute false hood"
 McNab-I judge from what is said in the sugar paper that you intend to speak for Rainey; now, MT Foote. if you want to make any speeches address your remarks to the Alameda delega- ton. You do not represent me. Why, you were interviewed in the sugar or gan.
 MT. Foote-No, I do not represent
  resent are men of character and not liars I couldn't have my interview pub lished in your organ. McNab Crying to edge away)-You must excuse me now, as I am busy. Foote-If you busy yourself in the fu- ture by making any more lying re- marks about me, I will give you more i business than you ever had, and give you warning now.
 The throng eased away to allow Me Nab to withdraw, but murmur of 1. jeering comment and laughter at the expense of the whispering Gavin was heard. McNab's tongue could not be controlled, for when he was out of dan- ger he hissed back some insinuating re- marks against the men who had just called him down in the presence of State Senators, eminent lawyers and many other prominent people.
 McNab smiled when asked about the incident "Oh, it was nothing" he said merely an exchange of persif1age be- tween gentlemen. There was nothing approaching a row."
 He spoke with a rich Scotch brogue, but the customary assurance was want ing.
 Didn't Foote call you down about things you have said concerning him?''
 ''I assure you no. There was noth- ing of the sort. Nothing that might not have occurred in any group of gen. tlemen.
 NC" he continued, T am not a can didate for office, at least only an emer- gency candidate McNab did not like to discuss the Foote episode and wei comed a summons from a friend, which gave him a chance to excuse himself.

for the various offices on theNState tick e ct, and. what is still more unusual in :: a Democratic gathering, tiiere are :. places that are going begging for want of men to fill them. This apathy :: even applies to the head of the ticket, . for there are not two score of 6ele- gates here who have even the sas- :: picion of an idea that the place wal go to any one other than James GA > Mcguire.
 : The way has been prepared for him. :, He has been rendered the honor of the place at the head of the ticket of the Inferior half of what was once a proud party, and all that has been left for the representatives of the Democratic : party of the State of California to do is to ratify the nomination.
 Having duty to perform the afore- said representatives have come hither to go through the formality of affixing the seal of their political approval on the certificate of Maguires nomination by. the Populist party. Such a task :. lacks the element of excitement. and SC they have been forced to seek else :: where for the nerve stimulus that makes glad the heart of the youthful :: politician

They have scanned the list of State officers and have found set opposite :: the some dozen or less of choicer .. places, names unknown in the world of democracy and equally uncared for . save perhaps by the heretofore obscure owners of the names. Here and there. 'tls true appears the name of some one :. who In times past had endearcd him

 probrium on the heads of a~Demo- crats. It having been decreed. how
 ever, that these men with the others should receive the indorsement of this Democratic gathering they will all pass up with sigh of regret and a feeling not always openly expressed that per-
 haps the Democratic party was not
 such a great organization after all
 But Providence and the will of the
 late Pinto-Populist convention decreed
 that a few of the officers should he left
 vacant Here and there a few asni
 rants bolder than their fellows have
 bobbed up with the announcement that
 they are seeking one or another of the
 vacant places. This was no doubt in-

 few of their friends, but it does not
 seem to interest the great mass of dele

for the loss of Nancy, but it is the blankety, blank, blank disease that she died of that l am crying about.
 This may not be complimentary to the sensibilitNs of the gentlemen who engineered the fusion arrangement, but 1t is no doubt expressive of MT. La Rue's feelings.
 With the San Francisco fight as an example 1t may be that during the time that will elapse before the convention gets down to business of nominating candidates some interest may be shown in the contest that must necessarily occur between those who are seeking the few places that the Populists have left for the Democrats to i'll. At any rate the proceedings will not lack in terest, and those who have come to Sacramento expecting to participate in a real Democratic good time will not be diSaDpointed.

SACRAMENTO, Aug. 15.-This has been a day of false alarms, feat;ng rumors and a general feeling of dis comfort sprinkled here and there with an occasional dash of practical poli- tics-the latter being furnished by a few of the old-time Democrats who were attending State conventions when General Jo Hamilton was curly headed youth and the name of fusion was unknown to political literature.
 But even the old timers are forced to admit that there is something in the present gathering of Democratic delegates that is entirely new to them They are saying that the false-alarms are being provided by false alarms - meaning the delegates who are com paratively new to the political game but after they had their fling they are forced to admit reluctantly enough that with all their wisdom and all their experience they are as much at sea regarding the situation as the veriest novice at the political game.
 There is here the customary congre- gation of delegates, the usual throng in and about the Golden Eagle Hotel, the groups on the street corners and the ordinary seekers after the secrets of others; but there, that is all. There is apparently no interest taken in the question of who is to be nominated

HEADQUARTERS,

CALL HEADQ UARTERS, SACRAMENTO, Cal, Aug. 15. Joseph J. Dwyer, who, with ex-Judge J. F. Sullivan, led the Democratic reform movement in San Francisco six years ago, a. rived here this evening to take a hand in the fight against the seating of the Afford Gould McNab delegation. Dwyer has frequently of late been mention ed as an aspirant for the Con- gressional nomination in the Fourth District. He says that the Congressional fight is secondary matter.
 1T came here," said he to- night, ito assist in the batcIe that is being waged for Demo- cratic principles. I want to see the Democrats of San Francisco given their rights and harmony restored in the ranks"
 "How about your candidacy in the Fourth District?" was asked.
 "I am not candidate in the sense that I am going around soliciting delegates to vote for me. I am more interested in having the party troubles in San Francisco satisfactorily ad- justed. When that is accor-- plished, if the Democrats of the Fourth District choose me as their Congressional representa- tive, I will fully appreciate the honor bestowed"

CALL HEADQUARTERS, SACRA- MENTO, Aug. 15.-The other day on Montgomery street, San Francisco, Gavin McNab, on leaving a group or men that had been discussing politics, looked back over his shoulder and re- marked:
 "W w. Foote is going to Sacramento to make John D. Spreckels' speech The remark was distinctly heard py quite a number of bystanders, among them M. F. Tarpey. The fact that the remark was made and the insinuat1on thrown out that Foote was wearing collar came to the latter's knowledge. On the boat this afternoon coming rom San Francisco, Foote saw McNab edg- ing away in the crowd and immediately called to him: Here, McNab, l want to speak to you. l understand that you said publicly on the street that wore collar and was going to sacramento to make John D. SpreckelS' speech. want to tell you now that any man who says I wear a collar is a d. liar ana - -,
 You are right, MT. Foote, but l did not make use of the language reported to you. I did not say that you wore any mans collar" replied McNab-
 'I understand from MT. Tarpey that YOU did use such language, and Ill ms presence I want you to deny II.
 DIf we have any differences we will settle them on the floor of the conVen- tIon," continued McNab.
 This is a personal matter and It IS not necessary to settle 1t on the noor of the convention. It can be settieu now, and T repeat that any man Who asserts that wear collar IS liar.
 McNab again insisted that he dld not utter the remark ascribed to him, ana the interview ended
 MT. Foote remarked: This ends the matter until can see you with MT Tarpey."
 After arriving here this evening, MT. Foote related to MT. Tarpey the detalis of the conversation with MT. McNap on Montgomery street.
 MT. Tarpey expressed surprise that denial of the Montgomery street remark should have been made, and aodeo' "McNab said it in the presence or dozen people He turned his head over his shoulder as he walked away and said: 'Foote Is going to Sacramento 10 make John D. Spreckels' speech
 A few minutes later MT. Tarpey went into the lobby of the Golden Eagle Hotel and there happened to meet MT McNab. An ordinary greeting was eA- changed. when MT. Tarpey said: l understand that you deny making the statement that MT. Foote was going to Sacramento to make John D. Spreckels' sneech.'' Meanwhile MT. Foote ap- proached. as did many others, and a large throng soon gathered immediately around the men.
 McNab replied: 1T did not exactly use that language"
 MT. Tarpey-"What did you say then?"
 MT. McNab-"I do not care to discuss if here. Your recollection Is at fault. The convention is the place to make speeches
 MT. Tarpey-"When you make re- 1 marks concerning a gentleman you should be responsible for your utter ances. You did use the language ascribed to you and now you decline to state what you did say" MT. McNab-'I cannot help it if you made a mistake in carrying my re- marks to MT. Foote."
 MT. Tarpey-"When my friends are assailed I do not allow the matter to pass unnoticed."
