IT WAS AN EXCITING RACE.
Leanders Beat Pennsylvania Crew by
a Narrow Margin Mt Hen
ley Regatta.

Henley, July 6.--To the disappoint-
ment Of all the Americans at Henley
the Leander Rowing club crew Friday
morning defeated the crew of the
University of Pennsylvania in the
final heat for the Grand Challenge
cup. There was bright sunshine and
puffy cross winds blew from the
Bucks shore, slightly favoring the
Leander's station. The followers of
the British crew evinced the great
est confidence and Leander money
was everywhere available, but this
confidencesAeve exceeded anything
beyond eya1 money. The Pennsyl-
vanians' friends picked up several
hundred pounds, and Philadelphia
occupant of a houseboat is said to
have invested 6 500 in favor of his
crew.
The Pennsylvanians reached their
boathouse at IL o'clock, apparently
as fit as possible, while many of the
followers of the rcd and blue showed
marks of the intense strain of the
final minutes. The crew stripped,
chatted and laughed as coolly as
though going out for practice.
Ellis Ward, the American coach,
placed a miniature American flag
upon the rudder of his boat as the
coxswain came to the boathouse and
said to Smith:
Keep that as far ahead, my boy,
as you cam
Both crews, at the start, showed
no trace of nervousness and were
sent away in capital style. the Penn
sylvanians rowing 43 to the minute
and the Leanders rowing AZ. At the
end of Temple Island the Americans
led by third of a length. At Faw-
ley the time was 3 minutes 25 2-5 sec
onds, with the Leanders three feet
ahead. From there on it was a splen-
did struggle, out of which the Le-
anders gained inch by inch. The mile
was reached in 5 minutes j 5 seconds,
with the Leanders half length
ahead, which they increased to three
quarters of a length.
At the Isthmian the Pennsylvanians
made a desperate squirt, but it was
of no avail, and two men weakened
perceptibly opposite the grand stand.
The Leanders won by length in Z
minutes 4 As seconds.
"It was grand race" said Coach
Ward, as the Leanders crossed the
finish line. "We were simply out
rowed and have no other explanation
to make
1t certainly was the best and most
exciting tussle ever seen at Henley.
There was scarcely the advantage of
three feet in the Leander's station.
The cheering for the contestants
as they struggled for the lead was
terrific. Even Henley had never be-
fore heard such wild applause as
greeted the Pennsylvanians and the
Leanders all down the course, and the
cheering was deirious from the parti-
sans of the Leanders as the latter's
boat crossed the line at the finish
ahead of the Pennsylyanian's

Cars Badly Needed.

Kansas City, No., July s.-There is
a shortage of cars to move the Kan
sas wheat crop, although the market
ing Of that cereal has barely gotten
under way. The wheat movement
started much earlier this year owing
to the fine harvest weather, and the
railways, it is reported, are unable
to care for it. One railway has con-
stracted for 1000 new cars to be de-
iVered this month.

Chicago, Nov. 1.-THE Record Herald
says:
In his message to congress President
Roosevelt will incorporate several radical
recommendations regarding the interstate
commerce commission, and will probably
urge the passage OF remedial legislation
which will place the commission in po-
sition to become power for good in the
traffic world
Concerning the matter Chairman Knapp
of the Commission said:
81 am reliably informed that the presi-
dent will treat of the commission and will
make some recommends tions to congress
that will enable the commission to do
what the law which created it intended
it should accomplish. l know that the
president is very much interested in the
subject, and | believe he is in favor Of
giving the commission more power than it
now possesses"
The essential facts secured by the in
vestigation which closed are: That rail-
roads east and west cut export rates con-
stantly and do not publish their export
rates. that a condition exists in the Cen
trail Freight association which morally
proves that the roads eastbound from Chi
cago are pooling on grain and grain pro-
ducts; that the cut rates in exports are
due largely to the competition of water
routes which are not under the supervision
of the commission; that the bulk of grain
for domestic use moves as export grain,
thereby being granted a cut rate; that
substantial discrepancy exists between
the rates on grain and flour, and that hay
is classification higher than kindred
products.

To Use Electric Power.

Minneapolis, MINI, Nov. 1.-THE Great
Northern is preparing to investigate the
possibility OF utilizing Snoqualmie falls,
the greatest scenic attraction in the state
of Washington, for pulling its trains be-
tween Seattle and the summit of the Cas-
cade range.
The Northern Pacific is also considering
the falls for a source of power for run
ming its trains from Portland and Seattle
to the summit of the Cascades.
President Hill has decided that cleo
tricity shall be the motive power through
the Cascade tunnel, and if feasible, from
the summit of the Cascades to the west
ern terminals.
The Snoqualmie falls are owned by Will
liam I. Baker, formerly president of the
Chicago board of trade. His son, Charles
H. Baker, is president of the company The
falls have total of 100000 horsepower.
Only about 10000 of this is now in use.
The falls are $50 feet high and at pres
ent they supply the power for the street
railways, Touring mills and factories OF
Seattle.

Royal Honors to Chang.

Pekin, Nov. l0.-The foreign ministers
went in body wearing plain mourning to
the late Ii Hung Changes yameh and pre-
sented their condolences, according to Chi
nese custom. Chinese soldiers lined the
streets near the yamen, and the great
crowds which gathered in the streets and
about the yamen were perfectly orderly.
All the city officials received the ministers
in the outer court. The coffin was in a
spacious inner court, temporarily rooted

had over it royal pail, conferred by the
emperors command, an honor heretofore
bestowed only on members of the imperial
family. Many Buddhist priests were in
attendance.
There were rows of tables bearing offer
ings Of food amounted to several tons,
and piles of paper money. Candles and
incense were burned about the coffin.
Ii Hung Changes two sons stood near
the casket attired in sackcIoth. Before
the screen was a cushion where the Chi
nese callers made prostrations The min
listers, however, stepped forward singly
and bowed low. The dean of the diplo
matte corps read an address Of sympathy,
to which the oldest son of the deceased
statesman replied in Chinese, the youngest
son interpreting his words into English.
The scene about the yamen ,was animated
and picturesque Hundreds of officials
were present in their robes of office.
Mounted retinues are arriving daily from
all parts of the province.

G. j. Boyd, of Gordon Idaho, in the
st. Joe mining country, who is inter
esteu in number of properties ten
miles south of Wardner, on the St. Joe
river, says: LAS for mining in the st.
Joe country, there is not a great deal
doing just now, Six men are at work
for the Manhattan Mining company,
sinking shaft on the Manhattan. The
property is on Little Falls creek, and
it is operated by W. A. Reinlger, of
Harrison.
There is greater activity in the Hoo
doc mining district near the head
waters of the Palouse river than for a
number of years. Placer miners are
making some good cleanups and quartz
miners are developing the country at a
lively rate. The Blue Bird, copper
claim which made great promise of de-
veloplng into a mine, but which has
been idle for several months, owing to
disputes among the managers and
stockholders, is about to resume work
Another big deal has just been closed
in the mining district east of Baker
City, Ore, and the purchasers of the
property have Incorporated it under
the title OF the Single Standard Gold
Mining and Milling company The
property purchased is what is known
as the Whitaker group, and the price
paid was $4,000. The purchasers are
Colorado capitalists. The president of

anything but high grade ore has been
found in all this work, the ore through
out the whole forty-eight feet of cross
cut being the same quality as that
where the ledge was first cut It runs
close to 70 per cent in lead and from
200 up to thousands of ounces per ton

TRADE REPORT.

Bradstreets report on trade last
week says:
! Colder weather throughout the cOun-
try stimulated retail trade in heavy
cloths, shoes, drygoods and rubber
goods, and this has already been re
Elected in an improved recorder demand
from Western and Southern jobbers.
Collections, too, are more satisfactory.
Country merchants are reported in
good financial shape. and one result of
this is found in the better supply and
easier tone of money. Holding of cot
ton is reported in the south, this being
aided by the strength of the business
community generally. Higher prices
have been made for cereals. Brad
streets figures for the worlds visible
supply favors bears but little; foreign
cables are better, and export demand
has been improved, both for wheat and
corn, the strength OF these being
shared in by -four. the production of
which at Minneapolis and other CEN
ters is very heavy, and by oats. The
price situation is one of steadiness,
though some hesitation was shown
during October.
While nearly all industries are ac-
tive, special strength and activity has
been displayed in iron and steel.
The coal trade was in good condition
previous to the cold weather, and has
lost none of it's strength since, and the
only source of complaint Is the small
stocks in dealers hands, and the trouble
growing out Of the scarcity OF cars.
Raw sugar is lower, in sympathy with
the continued bearish feeling here and
abroad, and refined Is three points
lower all around. Coffee is slightly
higher on smaller crop estimates.
Wheat, including -four, exports for
the week aggregate 5,469,645 bushels,
against 6,672,8SS bushels last weel. and
3,555,507 bushels in this week last year.
Failures in the United States aggre-
gate 1874, as against 172 last week, 161
in this week a year ago, 1872 in 1899,
and 1873 in 1898.
Canadian failures number 35, as
against IS last week.

IRON WORKERS STRIKE ENDS
SETTLED AT SAN FRANCISCO.
Machinists Returning to Work
Most of the Large EstabIishmcnts
VIII Run with Union Crews
Terms of settlement Kept Quiet
--Risdon and Union Works Stin
NonuniOn.

San Francisco, Nov. 1.-THE strike
of iron workers which began in May 20
is nearing an end. About 500 men,
mostly machinists, have returned to
work at the Fulton Engineering and
Shipbuilding works, and it is stated
that all of the other big establishments
will soon be runnion with full union
crews.
The chief contention of the strikers
was for nine hours work without any
reduction of the ten hour pay schedule
Since the strike began many concerns
have reduced their working day to
nine hours, and it is asserted that over
fifty shops are now running on basis
satisfactory to the unions.
The boiler makers and other iron
workers involved in the local disturb
ance left their places in sympathy for
the machinists. They were mob ordered
out by their national organizations, as
were the machiniSts, and wherever a
settlement has been made with the
machinists, they have returned to
work.
Neither the employers nor the lead
ers will state the terms on which the
settlement of the strike is being eff
fected. Some apparently we'll Informed
persons state that the men will receive
an advance of from to p9r cent in
wages, but others declare THAI the con-
cession of a nine hour day means sim
ply pay for nine hours work.
The only large places in which the
strike Is still on are the Union and Ris-
don iron works and ship building
works. There is a report tha}t the for
mer employees of the Risdon company
will return to work in few days, but
this the labor union people refuse to
affirm or deny.
All negotiations are being quietly
conducted, and definite information ia
difficult to obtain.

Sofia, Nov. lin the latest letter re-
ceiyed from Miss Stone she says she is
exposed to much hardship and suffering
owing to the constant movement OF the
band over hills and ravines, notwithstand-
ing the rigors Of the winter. In conse-
quence of this activity, which has lately
been increased by the Bulgarian troops,
the condition of Madame Tsilka, Miss
Stones companion, is even more pitiable
owing to her expected ACCOMPLISHMENT.
The belief that Miss Stone is concealed
in village is thus discredited, as is the
reported birth of child to Madame Tsil-
ka. The monastery Rilo was searched by
the authorities, as the prisoners were re-
ported to be concealed there. Troops are
also searching the neighboring hills.
Consul General Dickinson conferred to-
day with M. Baneff of the foreign office,
and it is understood that Mr.. Dickinson
made representations against the move
ments Of the troops.
