YALE SMASHES THE RECORD
BRILLTANTTIME ROW OYER THE
 THAlrE.S COURSE. .

Covers the Four Miles i'm I9,53-Greaf
 Satisfaction at Head quarters Over the
 Performance-Four-O Crew Go
 Two Miles i'm Eleven Minutes and the
 Freshmen Eight the same Distance In
 Ig.20- 0-Harvartl's Practice.
 Gales Ferry, Conn, June 16.-There is great joy at the Yale headquarters to- night as a result of the time rows taken by the three crews this afternoon. The most noteworthy feat was that of the varsity eight They did four miles in record breaking time, covering the dis- tance in 10 minutes 53 seconds. The records do not show that an eight cared crew has ever covered the Thames four miles course in this time. The four cared crew went two miles in Ii min utes and the freshman eight covered the same distance in 10 minutes 20 sec onds. @a
 When the varsity eight went out at 4:S0 the conditions for a time row were excellent and the coaches decided to take advantage of them. The tide was at flood and the wind was partly in favor of the oarsmen. The crew got off with an excellent racing start and rowed down the river in superb form. For three miles and a half the stroke was kept up to thirty-three strokes to the minute. The last half mile was fin- ished with beautiful spurt, the stroke running up to nearly thirty-five. Dur ing the entire four miles excellent wa termanship was displayed by every man in the boat and the crew worked in perfect unity. The last two miles of the time row the Harvard launch fol- lowed the crowd and near the finish the launch went ahead of the shell and gave the Yale oarsmen bad wash. This is the second time within week that the Harvard launch has interfered with the Yale men. Leblanc steered the eight to-day, Minors illness pre- venting him from entering the boat.
 The time made by the four pared crew-eleven minutes-is quite satisfac- tory to the Yale coaches. The stroke ranged between thirty-three and thir- ty-foru for the two miles and .he men finished well. t.,.. 7. ..sz The freshman eight went two miles in 10 minutes 20 seconds, despite the fact that they did not have the adran- tage of the tide. The coxsWain steered the crew over into the eel grass, which made the rowing difficult.

 ting Insurance on the Cup.

ting Insurance oN the Cup.
 London, June 16.-Sir Thomas Lip tons last night in England prior to his leaving for New York was signal ized by large dinner at the Carlton hotel, given in his honor by George T. Wilson of New York. The leading Americans in London and many dis tinguished Britishers were present. The room was profusely decorated with British and American flags.
 Both the British and American speakers spoke in the highest terms of Sir Thomas pluck and sportsmanship and expressed hopes that they would meet with their reward.
 Sir Thomas Lipton's speech, which was received with great enthusiasm, was full Of confidence. He said:
 T have the greatest respect, as I have reason to have. for the skill of Americans as ship builders, but you would not expect or wish me to toe the line at Sandy Hook in any but the most hopeful frame of mind. I have 8 very good hope that shall soon be en- ployed in getting an insurance on the famous cup. I have had advantages which I have never had before. From what I hear the Reliance is a wonder. for which I am glad, as we want to win against the very best that America is able to produce. If my hopes are fulfilled am certain the American peo- pie will not grudge me the success.
 T wish to say in conclusion, that hope to meet you all again when l re- turn, but with the difference that we shal have that blooming old mug on the table in front of us."

GEAR WISHES PETER WE'LL.
Hopes God Win Help servia's New King i'm Hts Work.

Geneva, June 16.-The czar has tele- graphed to King Peter as follows:
 Learning that the senate and the Skupshtina had formally proclaimed you King of Servia, I venture to ex- press to your majesty sincere wishes for the prosperity ofayour country and the hope that God may come to your assistance in the enterprise you have undertaken for the happiness of your people.
 (SigneD Nicholas"
 Belgrade, June 16-The position of King Peter I. promises to be little more than that of a royal captive; the real government of the country will be mill itary dictatorship under the leaders of the revolution, Colonel Maschin and Colonel Mitschitsch. The new king is almost without any personal adherents, and the ruling spirits of the army, it is thought probable, would just as readily murder him as they did his predecessor, should he oppose their aims.
 The following is the text of the tele- gram from Premier Avakumovics by which King Peter was notified of his election to-day:
 "The national representatives of the people, sitting together, have just elect ed you King of Servia. While making you acquainted with the fact the gov ernment of Servia, has the honor to ten- der you it's heartiest congratulations and to express the desire that our coun- try may have a fortunate and glorious future in store under the rule of the grandson of the famous Kara George, the first liberator of Servia.'
 The telegram sent by the presidents and vtce-presidents of the senate and Skupshtina was as follows.
 "The national representatives of the people of the kingdom of Servia have unanimously and enthusiastically elect ed you hereditary King of Servia. We, the undersigned, have the honor to con- vey to your our most cordial and enthu- siastic congratulations"

IRISH LAND BILL IN PERIL
SERIOUS DEADLOCK BETWEEN
 REDMOND AND WYNDHAM.

Measure Not Only Endangered but Also
 the Very Existence of the Cover nmeut
 -Latter's Majority Reduced to Forty one-Needs Nationalist Votes to Keep
 from Certain Defeat.
 London, June 16.-The deadlock which has arisen between Chief Irish Secreta- ry Wyndham and the Irish leader, John Redmond, as result of to-day's debate in the house of commons, in which John Redmond's amendment to the bill abol- ishing the minimum price at which the landlord may sell, was opposed by MT. Wyndham and rejected by the house, threatens to imperil not only the Irish land bill but the existence of the gov- ernment.
 During the present session the minis try has more than once escaped defeat because of the support of the national ists, and while MT. Chamberlain's fiscal policy renders the governments position precarious. the support Of the Irish members is more than ever necessary to the ministers. Several unionists sup ported John Redmond in the division lobby, after having in the course of the debate vainly advised Mr. Wyndham to agree on compromise.
 As matter Of fact had the Irish leader challenged division earlier the the evening the government would then have been defeated, and MT. Redmond s omission to thus snatch an advantage from the absence of many unionists members seems to indicate his desire to do everything possible to ensure the passage of the bill and endeavor to in- duce the government to reconsider it's position. The whole body of national ists voted in support of John Redmond's s amendment with the result that the governments majority was reduced to fl votes.
 The liberal leaders at meeting to- night resolved not to challenge MT. Chamberlains zollverein proposals by formal resolution in the house of com- mons, but to conane themselves to at- tacking his policy whenever an oppor- tunity offers.
