fifty-seventh annual boat race between
crews representing the Universities OF
oxford and Cambridge was rowed today
over the usual course, from Putney to
Mortlake, and was won by Cambridge
The race was favored by magnificent
weather. The bright sunshine attracted
immense crowds. which, from an carry
hour, congregated along the course, on
steamers, in boats, on the bridges and on
the buildings overlooking the scene
Every point of vantage was crowded, in
spite of the general belief that it would
be a one-sided contest.
Oxford won the toss and chose the sur
rey station. The crews embarked at 1:5t

The two boats took up their positions at
80 p M. and started at 1:5S. Cambridge
promptly took the lead. AT Walden's

TRESOUTHWICK CASE.
George Hoehl Wonders Why
the Republican County
Committee Neglects
His Protest.

A great many Republicans are trying to
figure out what has become OF the pro-
test sent to the County Committee by
George HoehI of the Twelfth Ward, which
was referred to the Appeals Committee.
The protest concerned the election Of
Stanley Tresouthwick and charged that
the election was contrary to the constitu-
tion of the Republican County Committee.
Tresouthwiek is a machine man, and it is
not likely that the Appeals Committee
will ever take any action on the matter.
This star body was not a bit backward in
bouncing John Mouncey from the County
Committee, on charges of alleged dis
loyalty, simply because he was an anti
ring man, and a power in the Seventh
Precinct of the Ninth Ward. Tresouth-
wiek's case. however, will not be touched
by the Appeals Committee, which simply
shows the justice given both sides. An
anti-ring man is thrown down, if possible,
while Tresouthwiek, who is totally un-
qualified for the place, some Republicans
say. will be allowed to remain a member
a member of the Appeals Committee
ig said to have remarked that the
Tresouthwick case would be allowed to
rest until it had been forgotten by the
ones who protested. The unfafrness of
the committee will tend to hurt the ma
chine in the Twelfth ward where Hoeh1
is said to have a big following.
These are the members of the Appeals
Committee:-Jacob Durr, John Gallery,

BOERS DRIVEN BACK.
British Win a Victory Near
Karee Siding, With Heavy
Loss.


BLOEMFONTEIN March 81, 19O0-The
attack upon the Beers holding the kopjes
near the Karee Siding station, a few miles
south of Brandfort, was made by Tuck
seris Seventh Division with the eo-opera-
tion of French's cavalry. The attacking
troops included a large force of Aus
tralians. Colonel Knight, with four hun
dred New South Wales Mounted Infantry
incl16ed in Legaillais' Brigade, attacked
the right. flank. A long chain of kopjes
was held By the Beers. and there was
severe firing All along the line of attack.
The approach was very steep. like a
fortress. and theN troops were unable to
make headway until the infantry made
an attack upon thaNfront The cavalry
went around the right flank of the Beers
and used their vickers- Mexim freely.
An army hospital was established in a
cottage under the shelter of a large
kopje The Boer shells came right over
the kopies and landed near the hospital,
which it was found necessary to evacu-
ate.
The Beers slowly retreated upon Brand
fort, taking their dead and wounded with
them. Meanwhile the Cavalry, including
the Australian Horse and the Sydney Ian
GERS, under Capt. Cox. brigaded with Por-
ter's brigade. The Carboneers, Scots
Grays and the Iniskillings received a
severe shell fire. The Beers had evident
ly marked the range, as when the troops
advanced the enemy's fire was less ac-
curate.
The Colonials displayed great GOODNESS
under fire. Many horses We're killed in
the cavalry's flank attack. The Beers fed
and all our troops pushed forward and
now hold an excellent position upon the
large kopjes recently held by the Beers.
The farmers are in the laager fighting,
leaving the women and the children upon
the farms, which they are confident the
English will not touch. Many of these
farmers would surrender their arms but
for the fear that the johannesburg police
would attack their farms in revenge for
their so doing.
The Beers are known to hold Brandfort
in some strength-probably five thousand.
Reinforcements are afraid to move direct
to their support and are content with
holding their position, which is threatened
by the cavalry advance.
The whole action was rather insignffi-
cant. Many regiments received their bap-
tism of fire and showed splendid cool
ness. We have now secured a fine nat
ural position facing the huge plain before
Brandfort.
Mr.. Rudyard Kipling was present dur
ing the fight

YNCOERCING BURGHERS
All Who Do Not Join
Boer Armies Will Be
Shot.

[By Gable to The Associated Press.
LONDON, March, 81, 190O-Eyen the
detils of the engagement yesterday at
Karce Siding Station, few miles South
Of Brandfort, fail to instill much interest.
1t appears to have been a one-sided af-
fair, although the Beers stoutly held their
ground against force three or four
times their size for three hours, when.
foreseeing the danger of the British
Cavalry enveIoping their f1anks, the
Burg'hers withdrew in god order on their
main body at Brandfort, which, according
to Lord Roberts, they seemed later, to
have decided to relinquish with the view,
doubtless, of occupying a prepared posi-
tion further North. There will probably
be a general shifting of camps on the
part of the British, the new position be-
ing made the base of a further advance
as soon as the railroad is prepared
Lord Roberts, today. reported to the
War Office that he had received news
from Colonel Baden-Powell, at Mafeking
up to March 10, when the general health
of the garrison and it's spirits were good
the locally made gun, search light and
ammunition were working well, the food
was holding out well and the paper cur
rency which the British commander had
issued was satisfactory.
From Cape Town it is reported that
President Steyn had gone to Pretoria af-
ter, according to refugees, issuing an or
der that all British burghers refusing to
join the Boer armies shall be shot The
stories of refugees, however, are no.
toriousy unreliable
The news from elsewhere is meagre,
though the last reports from Natal indi-
Gated the speedy clashing of the opposing
armies.
The War Office has posted the following
despatch from Lord Roberts, dated at
Bloemfontein, March 30, evening"
Reports point to the enemys leaving
Brandfort and proceeding in a northerly
direction. The casualties in yesterdays
engagement were more numerous than at
first reported. They were:-Officers killed,
2; wounded, s; rank and file, killed, 10
