went to investigate the situation there on account of urgent business connected with the American commercial treaty with China.
 The announcement that Russia has as- sured the United States that Moukden and Ia Tung Kao will be made open ports, is accepted here as meaningless, unless the United States has secured Rus sia's command to Prince Ching to sign the American commercial treaty, after which China would have no power over these ports. While the opening of the two ports eliminates the United States from any active quarrel, America is clearly the guardian of China's integrity. It con- tributes nothing to the solution of Japans difficulties and promises no solution re- garding Russia's encroaehment in Corea or her evacuation of Manehuria. On the contrary, the Japanese regard Russia's promise to America with apprehension.

Old Boat Comes Up in a Luf of Wind in the
 Initial Run
COLUMBIA FINISHES
 THIRD IN THE RACE
Reliance Leads of Swiftly and Ap- parentIy Has Victory Assured, When the Wind Drops and
 Favors Constitution.

New Haven, Conn, July 1.-The latest aspirant for cup-defending honors, the Reliance. was defeated today by the Con- stitution in the initial run of the New York Yacht club cruise from Glencove to this port. The boat led almost from the start, and was in her usual position at the finish, but the Belmont boat, after being at one time more than a mile as- tern, came up with rush at the close and was only 59 seconds behind her rival at the line As the Reliance allows the Constitution two minutes and F seconds in S7 miles. the length of the run, the latter won by one minute and 12 seconds. The time allowance, while unofficial, Is believed to be within three seconds of the correct time.
 Boats Are of.
 ! The three boats went oyer the line on the starboard tack with ballooners set. During the first 10 minutes the Reliance and the Consultation pulled by the Co., lumbia rapidly, but the winds afterwards almost fell flat. In this weather the Re- liance again showed her splendid pow CTS in light flaming airs and at 12:15 was half a mile ahead of the Constitution and a quarter of a mile ahead of the Columbia.
 During the next hour there was fine tussle between the Reliance and the Co., lumbia. and at one time the latter suc- ceeded in getting ahead about Q quarter of a mile, while the Constitution dropped back until she was more than mile astern of the Reliance reffs 1iff1es from the finish the Reliance was leading the Constitution by nearly three-quarters of mile and apparently had the race safe, provided the wind held. The breeze proved ickle. however and when 1t dropped 1t left the Reliance first so that the Constitution was able to draw mp but not to catch up. Then the breeze sprang up again and once more the Reliance pulled away, only to be left few min- utes afterwards with almost Tapping sails.
 Constitution Gains.
 As the breeze strengthened astern the Constitution gained rapidly on the Re- 1iance. Two miles from the finish she was only a quarter of mile astern and mile away from the line she had cut down the Reliance's lead to two or three hundred yards. The new boat broke out her spinnaker quickly in the hope of pulling away but the Constitution followed suit and was almost blanketing the Re- liance as they neared the finish. It was seen that the Constitution was within her time allowance, and while the Reliance managed to cross in the lead the Consti- tuition was one second less than minute astern, both boats flying across the line under a great press of sail.
 The official times were as follws:

THE DATE OF THE CRUCIFIxION.

Researches conducted by Professor Hans Achelis,
of Koenigsberg, says the London Chronicle, On the
basis of a series of most exact calculations made
by the Royal Astronomical Institute in Berlin, have
established with what seems to be high degree Of
historical accuracy the fact that the date OF the
crucifxion was April 6, in the year 80. How Pro-
essor Achelis arrived at this result he explains in
paper published in the proceedings of the Royal
Scientific Society Of Goettingen. The four Evange-
lists it is pointed out, agree that Our Lord died on
Friday, and according to St John the day was the
14th of the month Nsan when the Passover lamb
evangests Christ had already partaken of the Pass
over meal and was crucifed the first day Of the
passover that is the 18th of the month Nissan; The
year is nowhere mentioned, but it was during the
governorship of Pontius PLATE, who was appointed
in the year So From the material supplied to him
by the Astronomical Institute, Professor Achelis
found that during these ten years the 18th of Nissan
fell on Friday but that Of the 14th fell Friday
twice namely according to our reckoning on April
g. in the year go and April 8, in the year 80. The
precise data given in Luke ill., and ths fact that the
statement in John H. 90 could only have been made
in the year 1928 prove that Lords ministry end
ed in the year 80.
From the agreement Of astronomical calculations
with the Bible record we have, concludes Professor
Achelis good grounds for accepting April of the
year 80 Of our era as the date of the first Good
Friday.

RICHARD oLENY AS A POSSIBILITY.

There is at least one possible Democratic NOM
inee and candidate who in being void of vagraries
is statesman, and that one is Richard Olney, of
Boston True he has for the greater part Of his pro-
fessional life beenn a corporation lawyer. But for
that matter so has been Knox, present efficient
attorney-general The fact of Knox's knowledge of
corporations renders him all the valuable in
bringing them to terms Richard Oney cand
date would not prove as popular with the Pops and
Democrats of the west as of Bryan's kidney,
an individual That New England Democracy favors
him to either Cleveland or Hill goes without saying
He is an upright brainy man. the brainest man con-
nected with either OF Clevelands administrations
Put being typical Bostonian exclusive not TO say
aristocratic the average unterried deyotee of Bry
anism in the wild and woody west might balk in his
support of high stopper, of so cold an icicle,
as Oney of Massachusetts, He is exclusive, without
question but he does net lack for integrity ability.
With the nerve of an Andrew Jackson he has the
polish of Jefferson AS President he would evince
all the independence of Grover Cleveland without
engendering so many antagonsms. Olney would
have few if any favorites and kitchen cabinet.
From these and other characteristics and from the
fact of his location his nomination will probably
prove an impossibility, nevertheless Boston blue
bloods, of baked beans and Goldfish, will be found
in the next national Democratic convention whoop
ing it up for Richard Olney.

THE COURSE OF TRUE LOVE.
(By Shakespeare.)


For aught that | could ever read,
Could ever hear by tale history,
The course of true love never did run smooth;
But either it was different in blood,
Or else msgraffed in respect of years
Or else it stood upon the choice of friends;
Or if there were a sympathy in choice
War death, or sickness did lay siege to it,
Making it momentary a sound,
Swift as a shadow short any dream
Brief as the lightning in the collied night,
That in a spleen, unfods both heaven and earth
And ere man hath power to say,-Behold!
The jaws of darkness DO devour it up:
So quick bright things come to confusion.
