the adjustment of the stretcflers, OUT
riggers and slides had not been Conn

oarsmen in their evenings practice
The men rowed up the stream about
two and a half miles In four or five
stretches and then came back in two

days the coaches confined their instruc-

The men showed Improvement In this
particular this evening.

FRENCH CABTNET CRISIS.
Nj. Poincnre Reported TO Have Refused
the Premiership.

Paris, June 13.-The air to-day is full
of reports regarding the probable sue
cessor of M Dupuy as premier. M.
Poincare was the favorite this morning,
but after three-quarters of an hour
spent in conference with the president
he declined to accept the task. He is a
moderate republican, and evidently
doubted his ability to succeed in form
ing a cabinet which, the papers this af-
ternoon think after yesterdays vote
must be radical cabinet.
The members Of the late ministry met
this afternoon at the ministry of the
interior, NJ. Dupuy presiding, for the
transaction of current business. Spe-
cial attention was given to the arrest
of General Piletta M. Poincare has
been asked by M. Loubet to return to
the Elysee Palais tomorrow, when 1T Is
expected a definite proposal Will be
made to him to construct a cabinet. 1t
is said that NJ. Delcasse insists on re-
tanning the foreign office portfolio rath-
err than accepting that Of the interior,
and that M. Bourgeois prefers continu-
ing as a member of the French delega-
ton at The Hague to accepting cabi-
net post.
Late this evening it developed that M
Poincare, while he refused the premier
ship, intimated to the president that ne
might enter cabinet presided over by
M. Deschanel, president of the chamber
of deputies, who had previously been in
with M. Loubet. MN. Po1n-
care and Deschanel are comforting with
their friends this evening and VIII re-
turn to the Elysee at 10 o'clock to-mor-
row morning to report the result.

George A. Hull, who formerly lived in
this city, but who has resided in Bridge
port for the past three years, while re-
turning to his home in that city Sunday
morning received two stab wounds, as a
result of which he is now at the Bridge
port hospital in a serious condition.
Hull states that he does not know who
stabbed him. but says that while he was
passing a dark spot man jumped and
struck him in the side with long
knife. not saying anything. 1t is feared
that pertonitis will result from the
wounds. The Bridgeport police think
that Hull knows more about the stab
bing than he will tell. Hull is nephew
of Major Luzerne Luddington OF New
Haven.

PROF.. WOOLSEY,S TIEUS.


| New York, June 13.-This weeks In
dependent will contain paper by Theo-
dore S. Woolsey, professor of interna-
tional law at Yale university on THE
Arbitration Proposals at the Hague"
which in part Is as follows: THE
Hague congress may have sprung from
the generous enthusiasm of the czar, it
may result in little positive enactment
in any one of the directions in which its
inquiries have extended and yet it may
have results, wide reaching and bene-
fetal. The difficulty in translating its
conclusions, if any, into International
agreements must not be lost sight of.
Its discussions are academic, theore tical.
Before they can be adopted by treaty
and become law each state must con-
slider their consequences from it's own
political standpoint.
Certain of the topics proposed for
discussion by the congress are interest,"
ing and would seem capable of formula
ton into rule so far at least as the
congress itself was concerned. The ex-
emption Of innocent private property at
sea from capture, for instance, and the
refusal to permit bombardment of un-
defended towns or the levying contribuA
tions upon place under threat of bonn
bardment, are not outside of the poss-
blity of achievement. But rather to
the public surprise, while actual pro-
portionate disarmament has made little
headway. and such subjects as those
Just mentioned have not excited much

exception of the freshman eight and
substitutes, are now quartered at RED

their race with Yale. The men arrived
here on the Harvard launch Frank
Thompson, little before o'clock this
evening and shortly afterwards the
eight and the four Were out on the river
for few short spins. The Harvard
men arrived in New London shortly
before o'clock and boarded the launch,
which had preceded them, for Gales
Ferry. The shells, an eight, the four
and pair oar, had arrived at "Red
Top" earlier in the day. and after
little time spent in looking about their
quarters the oarsnlen entered their
boats and rowed out on the river for al
number of short pulls, to straighten
out the kinks resulting from their trip,
as they expressed it. An easy swing
ing stroke was rowed ana in a short
time the men were back at the float.
The substitute four went out first
coached by Mr. Storrow from the
launch. Soon afterwards they were fol-
lowed by the university eight, who went
off from the float with considerable
dash, but rather raggedly Padding
down the river to the half mile point
the varsity crossed the river and came
back UP to the starting point opposite

in both the four and the eight rowed

CARBOLIC ACID AGAIN.



Henry ]. Leyerzapf, who lived at No.
1856 Adeline street, committed suicide at
| the home Of his father-in-law, H. Co
moll, No. 149 Frank street, about five
o'clock yesterday afternoon by taking
carbolic acid. Leyerzapf was a bridge
builder by trade, but Of late had been
unable to secure employment at his
trade and had been working as a la
borer at Belle dock. Neither his friends
nor his relatives can assign any reason
for his act, except that he had been
drinking heavily Of late and it Is
thought that possibly that had unset
tied his mind and that he took the car
bolic acid while temporarily deranged.
He worked at Belle dock up to noon
yesterday and then went to Frank
street, where he spent the afternoon up
to about 4:30 in talking with friends on
the street and drinking beer in q saloon.
About 445 he went to Wadewitz's drug
store on Columbus avenue and asked for
five cents worth of carbolic acid, say
ing that he wanted it for a horse and
wanted it full strength. A half ounce
tions to use a teaspoonful of it in a
pint of water for horse. He then left
the drug store and must have gone di-
rectly to the home of his stepfather on
Frank street, as he appeared there
shortly after o'clock His stepfather,
Mr. Gomoll, was at that time sprinkling
the grass in the back yard, and Leyer-
zapf walked around to the back door,
and, leaving his lunch basket on the
back porch, he stepped into the hall
way.
A few minutes later he stepped to the
door, and, calling Mr.. Gomoll, asked
him to call Frank Courtney, saloon
keeper, whose place of business is near
by. Mr. Gomoll, noticing that Leyer-
Zapf acted strangely and smelling car
bolic acid, ran for Courtney and the
two, returning, found Leyerzapf
stretched on the floor in the hallway,
unable to speak. A physician was sent
for, but before he arrived Leyerzapf had
expired. DR., White, the medical exam
iner and Coroner Mix were summoned
and decided that that it was clearly a
case of suicide The ha!f-ounce bottle
which had contained carbolic acid was
found lying in the hallway beside Ley
erzapf and a note, which he had evil
IDENTIFY tried to write after he had taken
the acid, was also found, but only a
portion of it could be deciphered The |
note was addressed to his stepfather,
and sentence was deciphered in which |
the suicide asked Mr.. Gomoll to take
care of Georgiana, Leyerzapfs seven |
teen-year- daughter. The remains |
We're removed to Cox & Henze's under |
taking rooms about 10 o'clock last night. |
Men who saw Leyerzapf in Courtney's |
saloon on Frank street during the af- |
ternoon say that he was not intoxicat-
ed and that he did not act any different |
than usual, and at WadeWitz's drug |
store, where he purchased the carbolc
acid, it was stated last night that he
did not appear to be intoxicated when
he called at the store. He leaves wife

NEW RICHMOND, WIS, CYCLONE.
The Scenes of Desolatton Are Indescrib-
ably Sad.

aDly sad.
New Richmond, Wis, June 13.--Inde-
scribably sad are the scenes of desola-
ton wrought by last nights tornado,
that has pra actically swept out of exist
ence the prosperous little city of New
Richmond. Out Of 500 houses and store
buildings, comprising the town, fully 300
were wrecked by the storm or destroyed
by fire. Almost every family has one or
more members among the dead, injured
or missing, and little groups are seen
everywhere searching by the light Of
lanterns or torches for loved ones who
may be buried in the piles Of debris on
every hand. With frantic energy the
search has been conducted all day and
I'D to 8 o'clock fifty-four bodies have
been found, although the number OF
dead certainly will reach one hundred or
more. These have, for the most part,
been taken to the Catholic and Consre-
gational churches, which, although in
the very edge Of the storms path, mir
aculously escaped its fury. In these
temporary morgues the sights are such
as to touch the hadest heart, as the
grief -stricken living recognize in bodies
horribly mangled and often dismembered
the remains of missing dead ones. The
wounded find temporary asylur's IN the
,,ninjured dwellings on either side of the
path of devasta tion, where doctors and
nurses from nearby cities and towns are
doing heroic work without sleep or rest.
AS many as possible of the injured
whose chances for recovery are consid-
cred good are being sent to the hospitals
at st, Paul and Minneapolis, where they
will have better care.
