DECISION IN MAIL CASE.
Government Wins in Fight Over Second
 Elnss Matter.

Washington, June 5.-The court of ap- peals of the District of Columbia in an important opinion to-day reversed the lower court and sustained the conten- ton of the government that the post master general was empowered by law to exclude from the mails, at second- class postal rates, the publication known as the Riverside Literature Series,'' issued by Houghton, Miff1in 6 Co.,, of Boston, and also Masters in Music" published by the Bates & Guild company, of Boston. The opinion is quite sweeping in the comprehensive discretion it gives to the postoffice de- partment to classify mail matter. The lower court in each of the two cases re- versed to-day had decided that the postmaster general had no authority to prevent carriage of the two publica- tions in question at second-class mail ing rates. The Riverside Literature Series had been published for some years and sent through the mails at second class rates, but Postmaster General Payne held that the publication really was a set of books converted into a periodical publication by the use of a serial name and numbers, and that it should pay the postage rate on books. To-day's opinion upheld the postmaster general.

 Catch.
 Gales Ferry, Conn.,, June 5.-Both the Yale and Harvard crews were out in their shells on the Thames river to-
 night, the Harvard men in their initial
 appearance of the season. The crew from Cambridge arrived at New London at 5 o'clock. and immedi- ately entered the launch John Harvard and wer taken up the river to Red Top. Little time was lost in donning rowing suits and the varsity eight pared shell was put into the water. To better demonstrate to the oarsmen his idea of the stroke Coach Higginson stroked the crew tonight in place of Captain l McGrew. Two miles up the river and
 return in short stretches covered the evenings work. The crew rowed as follows: Stroke, Higginson; ', Law son; 6, Silley; 5, Duffy; A. Foster; 3,
 Geroge; ?, Wolcott; bow, Swain cox swain, Litchfield. The latter held the
 ropes in place of Coxswain McGrew, who was detained in Cambridge by examinations.
 | The varsity four cared crew went out on the river soon after the return of the eight and rowed in the following order: Stroke, Dillingham;; 3, Aver; 2
 Webster; bow, Hartwell; coxswain, Ivy
 The men simply limbered up a bit and
 rowed only short stretches. The fresh ! man squad is expected here tomorrow At the Yale quarters the coaches ex- l pressed considerable dissatisfaction be- cause of the manner in which the fresh-
 man eight defeated the university crew this morning. All the oarsmen were hard at work this afternoon getting their examinations out of the way and 1 it was 5:3O before the freshmen ap- peared at the boat house. They rowed up stream one mile in stretches and returned ill the same manner. The youngsters were coached along general lines.
 | At o'clock the varsity eight and
 four put out in their shells and rowed i up stream three-quarters of a mile They were coached from the launch by l MT. Kunzig, who paid particular atten- | tion to a Guick catch. There was a very noticeable tendency to rush the slides by several of the men but it is | hoped that this matter can be over- come.
 | Julian Curtiss arrived at the Yale quarters this afternoon. He will have men out on the river se>t!ng out the course flags.

Believed Their Position Strengthened
 by Judge Gray'a Opinion.

by Judge Gray's Opinion.
 wilkesbarre. Pa. June 5.-Since the reported statement of Judge Gray, talk ing sides with the miners in their con- tention that their first concilation com mittee was legally elected. the miners have taken a new stand and prominent officials of the mine workers in this city stated to-day that there would very likely be suspension of work un- less the operators receded from their position. The opinion of the chairman of the coal strike commission is regard ed by the miners as a vindication of their position and has stirred them to resist the stand os the companies rep resentatives and to insist on the recog- milton of the board as first selected.
 A prominent official of one of the To- cal coal companies here stated tonight that he believed the operators concilia- tors would have on objection to Messrs. Nichols, Dettrey and Fahy if the lat ter were elected by the coming miners convention to represent the latter on the board.

surpFtstng Verdict in Case of Boy Once
 Found Guilty of MnFder.
 Norwich, June 5.-After being out two hours and five minutes the jury in the superior court at 5:25 o'clock this after noon found William H. Gallivan not guilty of murder in the first degree in taking the life of Jeremiah Shumway in Montville on November 20. 1901. The court room was filled with friends of the accused, and when the verdict was announced they set up a cheer which was continued for. several minutes in spite of the efforts of Sheriff Jackson to preserve order. Judge Roraback at once discharged the jury and ordered Galli- van discharged.
 GalliYan was tried a year ago and found guilty of murder in the second degree, but an appeal was taken to the supreme court, of errors. which set aside the verdict and ordered a new trial. The chief witness against Gallivan was Thomas M. Wornnsley, of this city, a colored boy, who confessed his share in the crime and implicated Gallivan. State Attorney Lucas expressed himself tonight as astonished at the verdict, and the public at large was much sur prised at the announcement.

PRESIDENT RETURNS.
Bactk fin Washington After Remark
 able Trip.

Washington, June 5.-President Roosevelt returned to Washington to- night from his memorable trip of over two months throughout the west. He was given hearty reception by the people of the capital, who lined the sidewalks as his carriage escorted by the battalion of high school cadets, was driven to the White House. The presi- dent cordially responded to the greet ings given him and repeatedly stood up in his carriage and waived his hat and bowed his acknowledgements. He look ed the picture of health.
 The president spoke few words from the White House steps. He said: T have been absent over two months and l have travelled many miles. During that time one thing has struck me, and that is the substant ialness of the Amer ican people. One con travel from ocean to ocean and from Canada to the Gulf and always be at home among ones fel- low Americans"
 The trip just completed has been, in some respects, the most remarkable a president ever took. MT. Roosevelt and his party travelled over 14,0O0 miles on railroads and several hundred miles in stage coaches and carriages, but not an accident marred their journey. Not five minutes delay was occasioned dur ing the whole trip on account of train conditions.
 During the sixty-five days that the president spent on the road he made 265 speeches.
 One of the remarkable features of the trip was the non-partisan spirit dis played in the reception of the president everywhere. Democratic as well as re- publican mayors united in extending him welcoming hand, while at Spring field, H., former Vice-President Steven- son rode in the carriage with the presi- dent. The crowds in the different places visited we're orderly and friendly, and gave the secret service men little cause for concern.

 Louisiana, Mo-, June 5.The Shy levee broke just below this city to-day and the Mississippi is now falling here at the rate of six inches per hour on account of the break.
 The Shy is the most important in the north end of the river and is seventy miles long. In some places it is twenty eight feet high and eighty feet across at the base.

 There are several towns within the district, the population of which is porbab1y 10000. Many of them remain and loss of life is certain. This district has not been overfiowed since 1888 and the damage will run into the millions. The break occurred as a point used by the railroad as roadbed. It was url- expected until just before the break oc- cured. When seen a rush was made to repair it, but forty yards went out and a torrent poured through. >s x.

Waterbury Strike Breaker Tells of WatervtIIe Assault. x

- .
 Waterbury, June 5.--The principal witness for the state this afternoon in the case of the trolley strikers charged with the assault on William Merna and George Morrissette was Morrissette. He told 8 clear and connected story of the assault. According to his account of it, which at times was even dramatic, he received a terrible beating at the hands of the gang, the majority of those im- plicated knocking him down and kick ing him. Morrissette identified Edward Winnegar, William Vandemark and David Marsh, the last named only par- tially, as three members of the gang.
 Dr. F. G. Graves testified to the char acter of the injuries of both Morrissette and Merna, and said that at one time he was apprehensive neither would re- cover. The defense tried to prove col- fusion between the doctor and the two victims of the attack yesterday.
 Frederick Bretat, a passenger of a north-bound car that night, testified that there were piles of stones on the track--a point of evidence that had not been admitted before.
 The feature of the days trial was the refusal of nine of the boys charged with implication in the affair to testify. They refused on the ground that it would ineriminate them. The testimo- ny of James Ennis, the only boy who would answer the questions put to him, was not of great value. He said that he and several others were sixty yards from the car at the time. It was the testimony of these boys in the city court that led to the binding over of the nineteen accused. , - Court adjourned at 4:30 till il o'clock Tuesday morning. Marsh, Brearton, Warren, McGuire and the two Vande- marks were taken to the New Haven jail at SIS by Sheriff Durham. Ross and Winnegar are out on bonds.

Lynchers.
 New York, June 5.-The Christian Herald, in response to cablegram sent to the czar asking for an official report Of the occurrences at kiShineff has received a reply from the director of the Russian police department. The reply follows:
 "St. Petersburg. June 1.-The Chris tian Herald, New York:
 'Russia's agricultural and laboing population is i'll at ease, living the com mon life with Jewish inhabitants of widely developed commercial instinct; hence there is constant antagonism, the material differences in racial and relig- ious character coming to the verge of frenzy at the least possible occasion.
 "The strained relations existing be- tween the Russians and Jews of Bessa- rabia were made worse by the fact of finding in an outlying village murder ed Christian boy. The murder was at tributed by the population to the Jewish ritual habits. Official denials of the ritual murder were not given credit by the peasants. who attributed other murders Of Christians in the towns of Kieff and Kishineff likewise to the Jews.
 ''On Easter day. in the market place of Kishineff, the workers while holiday making, saw the Jewish proprietor of a carousing machine strike a Christian woman, who fell to the ground, letting go her infant baby. This incident was the immediate cause of an outburst. The workers began breaking windows and pulling down Jewish stores as a sign of protest. The police, who always leave much to be desired in provincial towns, failed to make efficacious intervention, and many thousands or the mass of on- lokers and holiday makers, approving the riot and hindering the policemen's actions.
