Captain Higginson decided that Har-

he refused to respond to Yale's squirt.
At this point the Harvard men did the
prettiest rowing of the day, and among
those on board the official boats, it
was the unanimous opinion that no
finer piece of work had ever been seen
on the Thames. Notwithstanding
Yale's speed and the stroke, they found
it impossible to overcome the Harvard
lead. During this very squirt the Har-
wards shell actually gained another
half length and proceeded to make it
two full lengths in an amazingly short
period
Yale temporarily surrendered and
dropped from 36 to 80 strokes to the

THE NEW VOLUNTEERS.
No Rush to Send Them to Manila Until
the Rainy Season Is Over

washington. June 29.-The first yolun-
teers to be raised for service in the Phil
ippines will be those for the skeleton regi-
ments now being formed by General Otis
1t is not believed there will be the least
difficulty in obtaining these men. 1t is
probable that some time will elapse before
the troops of the provisional army are
sent to Manila, but meanwhile they will
be drilled and taught craftsmanship in
camp.
1t is estimated that three months are
required to make soldiers of recruits. The
officials of the war department think that
a number of volunteers now coming home
will desire to return to the Philippines
for a short service after they have had
an opportunity to see home and friends
They are regarded as the most desirable
for the regiments being organized by Cen
eral Otis.
1t is learned at the war department that
there is no rush to get the volunteers to
General Otis at the present time. The
rainy season having set in, 1t is now be-
leved these troops will be needed for ser.
vice only to relieve those who have been
on active duty. ,.ss.+-

cient though ships may be chartered tenn.
porarily If needed. The announcement
that a portion of the provisional army was
to be raised has caused a swarm of poll

by those who are seeking commissions IN
the new regiments.
There are two regular transports now at
San Francisco--the Pennsylvania and the
City of Para-one sailing June 30 and the
other July 10. carrying 50 officers and
$500 men, The Zealandia, Sheridan and
Valencia with 56 officers and ISIS men,

There are now on their way from Ma

AT Manila there are the Hancock, 1Sher-
man, Morgan City, Warren and Grant
capable of carrying 27S officers and 6,4o6
men. 1t is expected that these ships will
bring back the state volunteers as soon
as General Otis decides to send them

OBJECTIONS FILED.
English Telegraph Company Averse to
Competing With the Government

London, June 29.--The secretary of state
for the colonies, Joseph Chamberlain, and
the chancellor of the exchequer, Sir Mi
chael Hicks Beach, received a deputation
from the Eastern Telegraph company this
afternoon. The Marquis of Tweedale and
others expressed objection to competition
with government enterprise, referring to
the proposed Pacific cable and Sir Michael
Hicks Beach promised to furnish a
written reply In the meantime he re-
minded the deputation that the Pacific ca
bic project was not new and was one
the government had a perfect right TO
undertake.
Mr.. Chamberlain said that while custom-
ers justly complained of the present high
rates, it was mainly for the sake of an
all-British cable connecting all portions Of
the empire that the government enter
tanned the present project.
The Marquis of Tweedale declared that
the proposed cable would speedily lead to
the ruin of the cable company the delega-
ton represented Sir Michael Hicks
Beach says the best answer to the Mar
quis of Tweedales alternative proposal
was that neither India nor Australia were
prepared to support it. The chancellor Of
the exchequer equally demurred at the OBJ
ieCtions raised and strongly intimated that
they were untenable.

afternoon the complainant attempted to
introduce documentary evidence as TO the

from parties owing the First National

objected claiming that the suit was COM

receiver had an equitable, rather than
legal title and could not maintain an ac-
tion for ejectment on a mortgage. The
court took the night to consider the mat
ter and to-day announced that he would
sustain the objection. This practically
ended the case and a motion for a ver-.

Sir Richard Wants the Whole Document
Submitted.

Submitted.
Paris, June 29-The Venezuelan ar
bitration commission was again in ses-
sion to-day, and the leading counsel for
Great Britain, Sir Richard Webster,
continued his presentation of his side
of the case. Objecting to certain alb
stracts of documents introduced by
Venezuela, Sir Richard Webster de-
manded that the entire document
should be presented to the court if any
reliance were to be placed on the por
tions submitted.
Benjamin Harrison, on behalf of Ven
ezuela, demurred to this contention on
the ground that the time for filing doc
uments had passed
Baron Russell of kilowen, one of the
arbitrators, remarked that the tribunal
could scarcely rely upon half a docu
ment when it was asserted that the
whole bore different meaning. 1t was
finally decided that copies of the docu-
ments should first be submitted to the
counsel for Venezuela Mr.. Harrison
intimated that he had thought argu-
ment would be heard before this op-
portunity was afforded.

Chicago, June 29.-The trial of Aug

charged with numbering and then
burning the remains of his wife, in

in such shape that the prisoners coun-
sci are confident of reversal by the
