Cabinet Will Not Confirm.

Washington, July 2.-After 2s
houIssof consideration, probably after
consulting the president at Canton by
wire, the cabinet officers decided not
to ratify the agreement of nine arti-
cles providing for the naturalization
OF Shanghai and southern Chinese
treaty ports submitted by Minister WI.
There were some things in the agree
ment which the government felt it
could not accept. The government has,
however. no objection to the principle
embodied in the agreement, and has
cabled Consul General Goodnough that
he might pledge the United States
government to commit no act of hostil-
ity SO long as the viceroy of the prov
ince is able to keep peace and will pro-
tect foreigners. This determination
was made known to the other powers

Wisconsin a Close Second, and Cornell
Third Wisconsin Freshman Win.

Poughkeepsie, July 2.-One of the
most magnificent races in the history
of college aquatics for years was the
| varsity. race rowed Saturday after
| noon. Following it was an equally ex-
citing two-mile brush among the
freshmen crews, and then it was so
dark the four-oared race had to be
postponed until today. Here is the
record:
Varsity race, four miles; contest
ants, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Cornell,
Columbia and Georgetown.
The conditions, smooth water, rather
brisk northwesterly wind, fairly strong
ebb tide, rowed at 6:55.
Pennsylvania won in 1874 3-5; Wis
consin second, 1916 2-5; Cornell third,
20:04 Is; Columbia fourth, 2O:OS 1-5;
and Georgetown fifth, 2O:19 is.
In this event there never was at anv
time open water between the crews
that finished first and second.
Freshmen race, two miles; contest
ants, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Colum-
bia and Cornell.
The conditions, smooth water, little
wind. strong ebb tide, rowed at s.
Wisconsin won in 9:45 is; Pennsyl-
vania second, 1854 3-5; Cornell close to
Pennsylvania and Columbia fourth.
Quakers Win Four Dared Race.
PoughlSeepsie, July 3O.-The Varsity
four-oare contest, put over from Sat
urday on account of darkness started at
10:13R. The Columbia was slightly in
the lead, with Pennsylvania and Cor
nell close up. Pennsylvania led at the
quarter mile by half length. At the
mile mark Columbia took a bad swerve
from her course. Pennsylvania and
Cornell were fighting for first place,
with the Quakers about quarter of
length in the lead. All three crews
were rowing thirty-six strokes. The
wash from the Cornell shell caused the
Columbia crew to drop back at least
several lengths. AT the one and a half
mile mark Cornell and Pennsylvania
were still fighting for the lead. The
Cornell steersman got out of his course
the crew rowing in an oblique line for
the west shore. Columbia gained on
the Cornell shell because its steersman
kept an almost direct course. Penn
sylvania won by two lengths, Columbia
second. Official time--Pennsylyapi
1881 Is; Columbia, 1928; Cornell did
not finish. AT the finish the Cornell
crew seemed in bad shape, and the bow
man was apparently overcome. The
Pennsylvania and Columbia crews fin
ished in fine condition.

IOWANS FOR HARRISON.
Hawkeye Delegates Start Boom for
Chicago's Mayor.

Kansas City, July 2.-Iowa delegates
arrived here yesterday with well
developed boom for Carter III. Harrison.
mayor of Chicago, as the vice-presi-
Dental nominee Of the democratic par
ty. The majority of the delegates
would like to see The Chicagoan nomi-
mated because they think he would
make capital running mate for VIII
liam j. Bryan.
Thru the Iowans ~ -"-rison boom
spread rapidly and soon all the candi-
dates now openly iii the field began to
tremble for their chances, tho they
still continued to search for newspa-
per men in order to be interviewed
on their own growing strength.
The lowans Were so much in earnest
that an informal conference was held
between Charles A. Walsh and Cato
Sells, delegates at large for Iowa. and
Congressman Hinrichsen, of Illinois.
the stalwart and persistent Harrison
man, and Thomas Gahan, national
committeeman for Illinois.
Called Up she Mayor,
Then the latter called up Mayor Har
rlson on the long distance telephone
to ask him if he intended to adhere to
his previously expressed determination
not to accept the vice-presidential
nomina tion
The mayor responded that he was
not candidate, but as this sort of
answer was somewhat expected. the
iowans will wait until Mr.. Harrison
reaches Kansas City in the morning.
If they can get him to consent, they
will hold meeting in the afternoon
and decide on some action toward
booming him for the nomination.
Charles A. Walsh would say little
about the conference. He said that the
question of presenting Mayor Harris
on's name to the convention had been
discussed and that the Iowa delegates
desired to know whether Mr.. Harrison
WAS a candidate.
"Of course, it would rest with the
Illinois delegation to put Mr.. Harris
on's name in the convention said Mr..
Walsh. "If this We're done it is prob
able that the Iowa delegates would
support him, because there is warm
feeling for Iowa in him.
VIII REFLECT Walsh.
Charles A. Walsh, secretary of the
national committee, will be reelected
as national committeeman. There will
be no fight on the election of Cato
Sells, chairman of the delegation.
