handsome piece of workmanship as could
be procured and was specially ordered for
the presentation.

1T was then that Admiral Dewey asked
for reinforcements and supplied Aguinaldo
with arms. While Germany gathered a
naval force, the intention at Berlin was. II
not to take possession of Manila. at least
to cooperate In the landing, Admiral Dew
ey's force not being sufficient to protect
German interests. Captain-General Au-
gusti had on his part informed his govern
ment Of the situation, and several inter-
views took place at Madrid with the Ger
man ambassador, the result being that 1t
was decided that Captain-General August
should appeal to the foreign warships at
Manila, excluding the American, to protect
the lives and property of the Inhabitants
against the insurgents.
ut was an indirect act Of capitulation
while sparing Spanish amour propre. There
is no doubt Admiral Won Diedriohs has
taken command Of the forces landed, al
though he has not taken possession in be-
half of Germany, but will he, when the
American forces arrive, be willing to allow
his forces to re-embark? The whole ques-

DAKOTA Fus1oNIsrs
They Start in to Raise Row Over the
Offices

ABERDEEN, 8. D., June Estate con-
ventions of the Democratic, Populist and
Silver Republican parties met here today.
Platforms were adopted practically on the
same lines by the three conventions. The
platforms favor the free coinage Of silver,
oppose the issuance Of bonds in times Of
either peace or war, oppose banks of issue
and favor government issuance of all
money. The war with Spain Is approved
and it's energetic prosecution is demanded.
The election of supreme judges by the peo-
pie is demanded, and injunctions by the
Federal courts are denounced. The equal
suffrage plank was eliminated, after a hot
fight.
Work on the platforms was altogether
harmonious, but this was not the case
when an attempt was made to divide the
state ticket. Conference committees were
appointed, and the Democrats demanded
that they be given the treasurer, auditor,
superintendent of public schools and land
commissioners. The Silver Republicans
asked for the Encouragement and lieu
tenant-governor. The Populists are en-
phatic in their refusal to grant portion of
the ticket to the Democrats and Silver Re-
publicans, and a protracted fight is antici-
pated.

The Crews Will Try to Row Today at

It Rained Torrents

NEW LONDON, Conn.,, June PA more
unsatisfactory day in the annals of boat
racing on the Thames has never been re-
corded than that which the three univer-
sity crews and the thousands of would-be
spectators experienced today. Three times
the referee attempted to start the race, and
each time the conditions prevented, until,
at last, just before sunset rain having
fallen in torrents all day, Mr.. Meikleham

o'clock, when the final postponement was
ordered. The Yale men had sought shelter
in their own quarters.
In the Early Morn
NEW LONDON, Conn, June 22.-The
young oarsmen who are to battle for col
lege supremacy on the Thames today, the
students and graduates who came to cheer
them on the fight and hundreds of camp
followers of Harvard, Yale and Cornell
could find but little fault with the weather
conditions as they looked over the river out
into the sun early this morning.
A light breeze swept down the Thames
from the northward with not too much
force in it, and in the forenoon hours gave
every indication of subsiding materially be-
fore race time.
The prestige of winning crew made Cor
nell a to l shot in the eyes of the sporting
fraternity while bets on the Cornells against
the field also commanded better than even
money. There was, however, considerable
Harvard and Yale money about today, when
the latest gossip from the crews came down
the river, and by noon college loyalty had
overcome caution. as it always does and
the Cornell hackers began to find more use
for their money. AT noon there was some
thing like even money on Cornell.
Just what started up this confidence and
Harvard's ability to get at Cornell was not
apparent The crews yesterday showed
but little Improvement over the previous
days and Cornell's crew had seemingly
kept up the same pace which they had set
upon their advent on the Thames.
