Won Greatest Aquatic Sporting victo-
nv in Her History.

Poughkeepsie. N. Y, June 23.-Cor-
nell Saturday afternoon won the great
est triumph of her history in boating.
The lthacans literally swept the Hud
son. winning all three events in the In
tercollegiate regatta, the varsity. the
freshmen and the four cared races. In
each race the crews. coached by
Charlie Courtney. had to fight all the
way from start to finish for victory. In
only one OF the three races-the four
cared event-did the Ithacans dare at
any time to let down on their speed.
The Wisconsin boys won the second
honors of the day and to them belongs
great credit for the splendid fights
which they made in the varsity and
freshmen races, In both of which
events they finished strong second 70
the Ithacans. In all three races Col
umbia finished third. In the four
cared Pennsylvania was second. but
in the varsity race the Quakers fin-
ished in fourth place and In the fresh.
men they were fifth. The University
OF Syracuse beat the Quakers out for
fourth place in the freshmen event
and in the varsity Syracuse fought
Georgetown out in the last few
lengths, beating the boys from Wash
ington by less than yard at the fin
ish line. In none of the races were
the records touched, but in all three
evente. the time was not far below the
fastest that has been made on this
course.

Rear Admiral OF British Navy Says
Whole system Is Rotten,

London, June 21-During the dis
.ussion of the navy estimates in the
house of commons yesterday, Rear
Admiral Lord Charles Beresford, con.
sentative, scathingly criticised the
deficiencies of the navy. He declar-
ed the whole admiralty system was
rotten and led to great extravaganza
and that there was a general want Of
efficiency in the navy, on which de-
pended the existence of the empire.
This was the judgment of all the COM
missions of inquiry and had been pro-
en- fact. Every increase in the num-
Der of ships and every improvement in
them had been the result of outside
agitation. AS a result of such agita-
ton, the British Mediterranean fleet
was now fourth stronger than yea
ago
1t was remarkable, Lord Beresforl
added, that both army and navy OFF,
GERS were compelled to threaten to re-
sign in order to get things righted.
Great Britain had only 10000 naval re-.
serves instead of the requisite so.
900, and the engine room departments
were thousands of men short. AS to
armCment, both the United States and
France possessed superior guns. Blum
ders would continue until separate
business board was appointed at the
admiralty and was made RESPONSE
BILE for the efficiency ofthe fleet. Treas
ury control was fatal to efficiency
AS an instance. the speaker pointed
out the case of Sir VIM. Vernon-Har
court, who, when chancellor of the ex
chequer, put his pen through the am
munition supplies after the guns had
been ordered

British suffered so much, the Beers
had only so men killed. In one of the
fights outside of Ladysmith the Beers
had Sc men killed and over 100 wound
ed. Their losses were heavier at
Brankspruit and Vlakenfontein. The
Beers were often worried by the Brit

entrenched they did not fear the

where the sailors and muleteers were
recruited for the British during the
South African war. according to sto-
ry printed here today in the State,
that the diseases now raging in South

used was secured from Philadelphia

of Charlton and CHAMBERS. 1t is also
stated now that the British suspected
that this crime was being constantly
committed, and for that reason re.
moved their headquarters from this
city to Montreal. The NEGOTIATIONS. il
is stated, were also made in Lathrop,
Mo-. so it was necessary to break up
that camp as well. The British are
now retaliating. SO it is intimated, by
refusing entrance of LOUISIANA cattle

Des Moines, June 21.-The board of
okee hospital for inmates July !.
While the board has made no author
ICED announcement to this effect. il
is learned there is little prospect of
the institution being opened before
he latter part of July or the first of
August.
The board is urging the work of
completion of the hospital forward
with the utmost speed. 1t has all
along been predicted the hospital
would be opened by July / and per-
haps before that time. When asked
as to the situation yesterday, Judge
Robinson admitted there was little
hope of getting everything in shape for
the reception of inmates by July l..
The buildings are practically done,
but there are delays in the arrival If
machinery and the putting of it in
place. There is a great deal of pipe
to be put in and numerous connec-
lions to be made. Work of this kind
is likely to require several weeks
more for completion.
The board has not yet decided
whether formal exercises will be ar
ranged on the completion and open
ing of the hospital. Ii has been prac-
tically settled that inmates will be
transferred. There are now LOO in
mates at the hospital at Independence.
more than ever before. The board
plans to remove 300 of these to Cher
okee. Seventy-five patients will be re-
moved from Mt. Pleasant to IndepenG
ence, so that the net decrease for In
dependence will be 25. From 100 to
lao patients will be removed from Mt
Pleasant to Clarinda. Two hundred
or more will be removed from Clarinda
to Cherokee. These figures are ap-
proximate and the number transferred
TO Cherokee may be slightly exceeded,
so that there will be from 500 to $50
patients in the Cherokee hospital at
the outset. 1t is likely the closing of
several county institutions and the
transfer of their patients will be neces-
sary and this may shortly swell the
number of inmates at Cherokee

five districts that applied for this
convention were the three anthracite
districts, the Michigan district and
the West Virginia district where a
strike is now on. President Mitchell
has had the consent Of the five dis

reason did not see fit to issue a call
until yesterday. The request for the

lowed by Quick Retribution.
jefferson, June 3.-One of the worst
1hooting affairs ever witnessed in
his part of Iowa took place Saturday,
resulting from an attempt to arrest
Horace Shipman on a peace warrant.
For some breach of the peace Fri
lay evening a warrant was sworn out
lor Shipman and placed in the hands
IF Marshal John Swearingen for SER
vice. DR.. G. II. Grimmell Shipman's
'amily physician. went ahead of the
marshal to attempt to have Shipman
surrSuder peaceably. Shipman
agreed to this, but when Swearingen
and Deputy Sheriff Fred Kendall APP
peared at the door he warned them cot
10 come in under penalty of de3th.
Swearingen, undaunted, started to
pull his revolver for the purpose of
entering, and Shipman fired a load of
shot, striking the marshal in the low
eT part of the face and killing him in
stantly. DR.. Grimmell and deputy beat
a retreat. leaving the body of the
marshal upon the porch.
Sheriff Anderson Immediately went
to the scene of the shooting, deputiz
ing dozen citizens to assist him.
Hundreds of people gathered near
Lhipman's home and for four hours
watched the battle. Five hundred
shots were poured into, the, large two
story house. Shipman replying from
windows. cellarway and door. The
fire company was called and James
May volunteered to stick hose in
the cellar and drown him out MAY
accomplished his work, but Shipman
fired upon him from the cellar caus-
ing him to retreat.
About IL o'clock Shipmans shad-
owy form was seen in one of the lower
rooms and several guns spoke at once
and heavy fall was heard. 1t was
not thought best to approach, however
for some time, when S. c. Judy, a 10.
cal real estate man, braved a possible
shooting and marched across the
street to look in. He saw the dead body
Of Shipman upon the floor and the
house was Immediately taken possess
ion Of Shipman was found to have
been shot in fifty places and almost
mutilated by lead. His body is now
In the hands OF the coroner.
The dead marshal will be greatly
mourned In jefferson. He was brave
official, courageous in every way and
nis untimely death calls for an out
pouring Of sympathy for his family
that is uneQualed in its intensity.
The miserable assassin who has gone
TO atone for his misdeeds, has con-
aucted a butter and egg and poultry
business here for many years. Infor-
nations against him have been filed
numerous times and he has always
been under bonds to keep the peace.
It Is thought he might have shot many
1f the crowd, as his house was full
Of guns, but he was evidently waiting
Tor an opportunity to kill Sheriff An
ierson, for whom he has always had
