PARIS BOAT RACE.
American Crew in Best of Condition
for the Contest.


New York. Aug. PA dispatch to
the Times from Paris says:
Coach Patrick Dempsey OF the Yesper
Boat club crew of Philadelphia, in
interview stated that. contrary to the
original intention, he will not enter a
crew in the four-oared shell race, and
that the crews rowing would be strict
~ confined to the eight-oared race.
The American coach also stated that
his charges are in the pink of condi-
ton. in fact. they were never in bet
ter shape, and if they are beaten no ex-
cuses can be offered on the strength of
lack of condition. No accidents of any
kind have overtaken the Americans, in
which they have been particularly for
tunate. Even the change of air and
diet has had no deterrent effect,
being somewhat delayed in transit, was
found to be slightly injured, a few
checks being discovered in its skin, out
those were repaired in a short while
Dempsey has had much opportunity
to observe the other crews which are
now on the Seine, and seems more than
ever satisfied with the Americans
chances He declared that his crew
general adaptability of the stretchers
and slides in his boat were far superior
to the other foreign crews
The crew representing Germany has
arrived here. The Swiss, Italian, Au-
strians Hungarian and Danish oarsFnen
are expected this week The Dutch
crew has been chosen from the three
chief universities of Holland. and while
their rowing shows particularly good
form, the American adherents are not
fearful of them. The Dutchmen's aver
age height is a tribe below that of the
vespers, and the latter average less in
weight.
The first heat of the eight-oared shell
race will be rowed on Saturday, and
the finals will take place on Sunday.
One thing that has caused conslueF-
able discussion here among the rowing
enthusiasts is the fact that while most
of the foreign crews have been picked
from the combined rowing contingent
of one nation, the Vespers are the pick
of but one single American boat club.

SPECIAL SERVICE
TO be Provided for Sending Out Chi
cago Market Quotations.

Chicago, Aug. 24.-Agreements for the
formation of the Exchange Telegraph
company, with which the Chicago Board
of Trade will displace the Western In
ion and Postal companies in the distri-
button of market quotations among out
side exchanges, have been drawn up and
are ready to be submitted to the ex-
changes which will become shareholders.
At a meeting of the board of trade COM
mittee it practically was decided to go
ahead with the formation of the new
company. AS projected the Exchange
Telegraph company will extend its lines
from Chicago to 81 cities. At present the
only quotations going out from the Chi
cage Board of Trade are sent by members
to branches or customers or stolen quo
tations President w. S. Warren of the
board of trade yesterday issued eircu-
uar letter to outside exchanges in which
he said quotations were cut off because
il was necessary to suppress bucket
shops which, he declared, Threatened the
life of all legitimate trade.

CONFIDENTIAL LETTERS
Bearing on the South African Trouble
Continue to Appear

New York, Aug. PA dispatch to the
Tribune from London says:
The government has published a num-
Der of confidential letters from prominent
politicians in England and at the Cape
to President Steyn and other members of
ments- The correspondence includes let
ters from Dr. Clark, M p, and John
Ellis, M. P, in addition to those of Henry
La Bouchere, which later have already
been printed in Truth. But the most in
terest.ng documents in the collection are
letters from Sir Henry DeWiilfers, chief
justice of Cape Colony, and Mr.. Merri-
and is now leader of his party in the
colony, which sympathizes with the re-
publics strongly. AS both writer's sup
ported the Afrikander cause they were
most emphatic in urging President Kruger
during the months preceding the outbreak
of hostflities to grant reasonable conceS-
sions to the Uitlanders. DeVilliers who
convention of 1881, goes SO far to de-
clare that he would never have advised
the British government to grant the indie
pendenee of the TransvaaI if he could
have foreseen Mr. Kruger's narrow, oil
garchical policy. Mr.. Merriman writes in
the same strain He directly warns the
president that continued denial of politi-
cal rights to the Uitlanders must provoke
an explosion and draws vivid picture of
the evils which the reactionary attitude of
the dominant party in the TranSvaal was
bringing upon the country.
The whole correspondence will doubt
less supply material in the coming general
election to ministerial speakers, who will
maintain that by the admission of Trans
Vaal advocates themselves war was in
evitable unless Mr. Kruger altered his
system

patiently for their breakfast this morn
ing. They stamped their feet in ner-
vous excitement, ringing the bell and
making other demonstrations to show
that they wanted their morning meal.
But Mr.. Parrot did not put in appear
ance. An investigation was begun 1t
was discovered that the proprietor had
packed up his personal effects and de-
parted without even saying goodbye
One of the guests of the house was
James M. Macdonald who came here
the first of August for a months rest.
He jumped into the breach, assumed
the management of the house, and soon
had breakfast on the table.

himself as an Egyptian scientist, was
brought here from Fall River, Mass,

with having by fraud obtained from
Miss Elizabeth S. Weston $3.50, after
showing her future and her future hus-
band.
She lenged for a peep into the fu-
ture, and consulted Leosaidow in April
He went into a trance and fairly over
whelmed Miss Weston by reading her
past history and outlining for her q
future full of magnificence.
He said she would marry a dark
skinned Egyptian prince, whose wealth
was boundless and who would take her
back to live in the home of his an
cestors along the banks of the sacred
Nile. Miss Weston saw in her teacher
the olive-hued prince of her dreams,
and realized at once that no other Wo-
man had been so fortunate as she.
Day after day for two weeks she
called on the Egyptian, and arrange
ments, it is alleged, were made for cell

FROM A TELEGRAPH POLE
A Lineman Discovers a Stolen Rig
and Makes Capture.

Kansas City. Aug 24--Jesse williams,
who claims Denver as his home, is occu-
plying a cell in the Wyandotte county
jail on the charge Of stealing a horse
and buggy from G. C. Miller during the
Bonner Spring Methodist campmeeting
He was captured with the rig near
Usage City Wednesday afternoon by
Mr. Mfller's son. The arrest of Williams
and the recovery of the rig was effected
in an interesting manner.
One night last week while Mr. Miller
and his family were attending the SER
vices at the Bonner meeting their horse
and buggy We're stolen. Mr. Miller noti-
fed the authorities, also one of his sons,
who is employed at Lawrence by the
Western Union Telegraph company. The
son at Lawrence notified his brother,
who is also In the employ of the West
ern Union as a lineman. and who is
working between Usage City and Law
renee.
Wednesday afternoon while the latter
ing the wires, near Usage City, he hap
pened TO look up the road and discover
ed Williams driving in the direction of
Usage City in his fathers rig He
quickly descended and questioned him
as to how he came into possession of the
horse and buggy, receiving the reply
that he had purchased it in Topeka.
Williams didn't appear to relish the ex-
animation to which he was being SUBJ
jected and started to drive away. Miller
however, drew a small handax, such as
is used by linemen, and informed him
that If he attempted to move from the
spot the ak would be used for the pur-
pose for which it was never intended.
