ton of a general strike on July /. The

they are finding no trouble in uniting

is ordered or not, as the employees of the

Harvard'S Great Day.

New London, Conn, June 29.-Harvard
won all of the boat races today-three
victories over Yale in three nours--and
the western sky glowed crimson this
evening when the Harvard varsity crew
pulled over the finish line six and one
half lengths ahead of Yale After eight
years of defeat the students of Cambridge
are tasting the sweets of success. Har-
wards university eight won from Yale
over a four mile course by six and one
half lengths, in 20 minutes and 50 Sec
onds. Harvard's freshman eight Won
from Yale over a two-mie course by
two and one-half lengths, in minutes
331a seconds. Harvards substitute four
won from Yale over a two-mile course by
six lengths. in 10 minutes and 81 seconds.
The Harvard crews rowed modification
of the English stroke, coupled with some
features Of the stroke pulled by Wiscon
sin. and Coach McConnvile of Wisconsin,
who saw the race, said: IF Harvard S
crew in today's form had been at Pough-
keepsie, 1 am afraid they would have
given US all a hustle for first place."
Yale has greatly modified the Cook
stroke, nnd the boat did not go today as
it did when the famous coach was there.
The races were rowed in almost ideal
water and wind and clear skies.
The course was badly policed, boats
setting in the lane and steamers kick
ing up sweils after the race had started.
Harvard in the varsity race collided with
a number Of small boats at the finish, and
a heavy swell impeded Yale. The varsity
race was prettily rowed but the defeat
was crushing. Yale. however. rowed
gamely to the finish and neither crew
showed signs Of distress.
The contest between the substitutes
constituting the varsity fours was, like
the varsity eights, a procession with
Harvard six full lengths ahead a the fin
ish The freshmen effort was a mighty
and splendid one up to the last eighth of
a mile, when Harvard's superior staying

wards advantage and sent the 1902 men

DEPARTMENT ANXIOUS
10 Get Them Away as Quickly as
misunderstanding of Reinforce
ments to Gen. Otis is a Matter of
Secondary Consideration.

Chicago, June 30.-A special to the Tr-
bune from Washington says: Under d-
rect orders from the president, every
nerve is strained to get the volunteer
regiments away from the Philippines
without a days dalay. Even the i'm
portant work of sending reinforcements
is to be considered secondary to the nee
essity of returning the volunteers The
president feels that they have been kept
too long already and is anxious to see
the last man homeward bound.
To facilitate the work. the administra-
ton has ordered transports to clear from
San Francisco as soon as they can be
made ready for sea, whether there are re-
cruits ready or not. They will take REIN
forcements when they are ready to sail,
but after arrival will hasten back for
volunteers without regard to the new re-
cruits for Otis. The president has also
authorized the purchase of two new
transports which will be put into the
regular service as soon as they can be
equipped. After the volunteers are re-
tired ,he Transports viii GnlIy back full
loads of regulars and when they are land
ed will return for the new volunteers.

Negroes Taken Away.

Springfield, ILL.,, June 30.-Gov. Tanner
contracted with the Big Four and Him
ois Central to take the negro contract
miners out of the state and the Big Four
has taken two coach loads or 120 men,
women and children. while the Illinois
Central took those remaining, about 200
in number. The destinations are un-
known. Agents of the four coal COM
panies against which the union miners
are striking in Missouri, Kansas and In

negroes at Pana and took them away on

negroes and the state militia having been
withdrawn earlier in the week, Pana is

Advance in Prices.

Chicago, June 3O.--Iron and Steel will
say tomorrow: Among the producers of
small iron and steel articles, or, gener-
ally speaking, the hardware trade, the old
quotations are being swept away and
their places superseded by a higher
range. The crude products of iron and
steel have been advancing steadily for
the past six months, but a vast number
of manufactured articles have sluggishly
held on to the quotations of 1898. This
condition of things is now changing. AL
most every article Of trade, into which
iron and steel enters to any considerable
degree, has been higher in price after the
coming month. But the advances have
not been confined to the above products.
Pig iron is little higher Manufac-
turers of bars have marked up quotations

have experienced complete change of

vance is 81 to s. per ton. 1t can be said
on good authority that the agricultural
implement works, and perhaps manufac-
tories IN general will not be interrupted

there will be some additional advances
next week. There is expectation that
