The public buying was for an unprece-

grangers, New York Central and others of
the best stocks we're bought outright for
investment by the insurance companies
and banks. So that taken all in all 1t is
not an oyerdrawn statement that the day
was the most remarkable in the history OF

SHARKEY AT HARVARD.
The PusiIist Thought 1t Was II Fine
Place and a Good Thing.

Place and IL Good Thing.
Cambridge, Mass, JAN 20.-Thomas
Sharkey. the pugilist, paid visit to Har-
ward this afternoon for the purpose of al
lowing DR.. Sargent, the physical director
of the university, to take his measure
ment. He was accompanied by Steve
O'Donnell, who has been appointed boxing
instructor at the gymnasium, and a friend.
In measuring the fighter Dr. Sargent used
the same system that is in use on the Har-
ward students. While the measuring was
going on everybody except the doctor and
his assistants were excluded from the room
the ground that the test was made
merely for scientific purposes and was a
private affair.
At the conclusion of the test DR.. Sar-
gent would make statement about the
exact measurements. He said. however,
that for his inches Sharkey was one of the
best developed men he had ever seen. In
the course of his incumbency of the di
rectorship of the Hemenway Gymnasium
DIR. Sargent has measured many notable
athletes, among whom may be mentioned
Sandow, John l.. Sullivan, COrbett and
Fitzsimmons.
Afterward Sharkey, in company with
O'Donnell, took a stroll through the col
lege grounds and watched the Mott Haven
men training under Mr.. Lathrop with evi-
uent interest. ne coi!eSe boys stroiling
from the lecture hall, notebooks under
arm, were the objects of his greatest in
terest. When asked what he thought of
Harvard, Sharkey said:
Its a fine place, sure enough. You
young fellows have got good thing going
here" He returned TO Boston shortly
after 1 o'clock.
Harry s. Cornish. of the Knickerbocker
Athletic Club New York, was also a Wis
noon. He showed very plainly the effects
of his recent trouble and seemed like a
broken down man. Cornish got his first
start at Harvard, being employed as an
assistant in the gymnasium before going
10 the Boston Athletic Association.

There was immense realizing in Burling-

REVOL UTION IN GUATEMALA.
Uneastness Caused In Central American
Circles In WashingtOn.

Washington, July 10.-The reports
that a revolution is imminent in Guate-
mala caused a good deal of uneasiness
in Central American circles, as it has
been known for some time that affairs
there were in critical condition. A
well-posted diplomat said to-day that
the trouble was not SO much Of a politi-
cal character as it was commercial and
financial. The government recently has
been issuing large quantities of paper
money without having any considerable
quantity of coin on hand to redeem it.
AS result exchange has jumped to
rate before unknown and the Qua tema-
Ian dollar now passes current at only
about twenty cents. To this financial
disorder is attributed the arrest of a
number Of leading financiers connected
with the banks of the country. Some
Of those said to be under arrest are we'll
known among the Central American
officials here, who say they are men of
high character. Thus far, however, the
Guatemalan authorities appear to have
kept down the formation of any large
element against the present administra-
ton, and President Cebrara has had
support from all political wings.

TO ADVANCE EREIGHT RATES.
Decision Reached by Four Bag Roads
Relative to Grain.

Chicago, July 10.-After considering
the matter four days the presidents of
all the big railroads between Chicago
and the Atlantic seaboard have agreed
that on and after August Chicago
shippers must pay from three to five
cents more on the one hundred pounds
for the transportation of their grain to
the eastern markets. The chief execu-
tive officers of these roads say that with
the new tariff there will be no more Sc
cret deal swith big consignors, that the
man with a carload of grain must be
given the same rate as he who can
promise trainload, and those rates
must be the ones printed and posted for
public inspection.
The new tariff on wheat, oats and
flour from Chicago to New York city
will be seven cents per one hundred
pounds, compared with the present rate
of eleven and half cents. On corn
the advance will be from ten and half
to fifteen cents. For export shipments
from Chicago via Ne wYork the ad-
vance on corn will be from ten and a
half to eleven cents and on oats from
ten and half to thirteen cents. For
wheat shipped to the European markets
the rate will be seventeen cents per one
hundred pounds the same as now. On
provisions both export and domestic,
the rate will be twenty-five cents, an
increase of five cents in the export
rate. Between now and August /, when
the new rates will go into effect, the To-
cal agents of the east-bound roads have
been instructed to clean up all cut rate
contracts.

WHITMIN DEFE.ITS I1RNED.
Harvard Man Differs His Style of Play
to Advantage.


New York, July 10.-Before a most
brilliant gathering of spectators Mac
Whitman, the Harvard giant, defeated
w. A. Larned in the challenge round OF
the Middle State lawn tennis Champion
ship tournament on the court'of the Or
ange Lawn Tennis club at Orange, N
j., this afternoon. The match was con-
tnued from the point at which it was
stopped by the rain on Saturday. At
that time both players had won set
and the score stood at Al in the third
set, with Whitman leading. The Har
ward players style Of play differed
slightly from that of Saturday. He
used the same deep balls t. hold Larned
back from the net and when his oppon-
ent rushed to the barrier showed his
ability to pass him. 1t was in his speed
that Whitman differed to-day. He con-
stantly changed from fast to slow and
used short chop stroke which made
his veteran adversary appear at dis
advantage, as he almost always knocked
them into the net.
