OXFORD AND CAMBRIDGE WILL
HAVE THEIR ANNUAL BOAT
RACE TOMORROW
Contest-Great Interest Is
Being Manifested.

LONDON, March 31.-The annual
intervarsity boat race between the
crews of oxford and Cambridge takes
place tomorrow over the usual Putney
Mortlake course on the Thames. There
is as much interest in the event as in
any previous year, and the contest be-
universities promises to be witnessed
by an immense throng of spectators.
If the weather is favorable the crowd
promises to be one of record breaking
proportions as the two crews are re-
garded as more evenly matched this
year than for many years past and as
a consequence are expected to furnish
a more interest contest. Both crews
took their final practice spin today,
several thousand people, good num-
Der belonging to the betting fraterni-
ty, turning out to form their final judg-
ments on the performance of the two
crews.
The race, which has fallen to Cam
bridge for the last three years, is re-
garded as an open question this time.
President Graham of Oxford has got
ten together an exceptionally powerful
crew, which, bar accident, will do bat
tie tomorrow seated from the bow
thus: r. w. Somerssmith, H. M. Far
rer, P. c. Underhill, A. r. Balfour, L.
E. Jones, E. P. Evans, A. K. Graham,

smith, Balfour, Evans and Underhill,
are "Old Blues," while Farrer Jones
and Bucknell are freshmen, the latter
two being from Eaton where they row.
ed in the winning eight at Hensly last
July. Bucknall stroked this crew and
also the winning eight at Moulsford
last December. Avoirdupois is strong
point with the Oxonians, the average
being a fraction over 169 pounds.
The Cambridge crew are heavy
weights, too, and are composed thus:
H. Sanger, D. P. Wormold. B. c. John

B. R. Winthrop, r. V. Powell and c. H.

Something to Think Over.

The question of making hard and fast
rules about matrimOny and divorce Is
one to do some serious thinking over.
Anent divorce legislation the Washing
ton Post says:
The would be reformers who propose to
regulate humanity into a condition of mil
lennal bliss by an infinitude of laws can
easily do more harm than good. They
must realize that in divorce, as In other
things. there is a happy medium between
too much laxity and too much rigor. They
must make some allowance, too for hu-
man nature, approaching the fact that
people who make mistakes in marriages
will quite naturally attempt to rectify the
error bv any means within their power.
If they are not allowed legal separation.
they will be tempted to violate the moral
and the statute law, and the obstacles to
divorce. instead of being beneficial. may
thus affect most injuriously the very sta
bility of society.
People who seek divorce almost al
ways take that step as a choice De-
tween two evils Society is interested
in abating the greater evil. Said
Young woman who visits married
chum two or three times year, Il
always come away thankful that am
not married" An uncOngenial match
can scandalize marriage even though
if stops short Of the divorce court.

STATE HAS THE POWER
Government Has No Connection With
Utah Land Frauds.

WASHINGTON, March 31.-Author-
itative announcement is made at the
interior department that the alleged
land frauds in Utah, is something
has nothing to do.
Stories about these frauds concern
only lands transferred to the state of
Utah, under the act admitting the state
into the untion. This act of admission
did not provide for the sale of these
granted lands at a fixed price. In that
it differed from acts granting govern
ment lands to other states on admis-
sion.
In the earlier acts provision was
made for the sale of lands for the ben
eft of the state school fund, state in
situations of various kinds, etc, at a
minimum price of from SO to $40 an
acre In the absence of such provision
in the Utah act, spectators went into
the state and bought their lands at 81
to 50 an acre. Possibly the purchas-
lands for the minerals underlying
them, which fact has just been made
pubic and has resulted in the cry of
fraud.
AS to Secretary Hitchcock's alleged
connection with Adolphus Busch ami
others in their dealings in these lands,
absolute denial is made at the secre-
tary's office that he mad been in any
way concerned in any land deal with
Busch or any other person. Busch mas
come into possession Of a tract of gill
sonite land, located about so miles
from the Uintah reservation, it is said
by those close to the secretary, which
he bought from the state of Utah.
AS to the statements in the Salt
Lake story about the widespread con-
spiracy to gain control of coal lands
in other states, notably Montana
Washington, California and other
states, the secretary and his subordi-
mates are ose-mouthed. 1t has been
stated, apparently with authority. that
as soon as the government closes the
Oregon cases now in the United States
court, it will go ahead with the investf-
CATION of land entries in other states
Secretary Hitchcock said the Other
day in response to an inquiry as to the
prosecutions for frauds in other states
that the department mad not been
idle" But be would not go into de
ra..s 9 to localities or states.

the presence Of a colored person be-
meath the cordwood. 1t is a new thing
for Europe TO further American trade.
The truth probably is, as China sus-
poets. that the European interests will
eventually secure control OF the conces-
sion, if they have not already done so,
for the purpose of turning il over to
Russia. China, it viii be remem bered,
gladly granted the concession to Amer
lean capitalists when it would have
been impossible for any Europeans 10
secure it. other European concessions,
including one granted to King Leopold,
have found their way into Russian
hands
1t was not until after the Chinese
minister of railways learned of King
Leopold's interest in the American COM
pany that he made the offer TO pur-
chase. As the prospect for American
trade in China, owing to the boycott
in existence against goods made in this
country. is not of the brightest, it
might be a good idea to let the con-
cession go back to China at the favor
able price offered. For, it must be
borne in mind, China can declare the
concession forfeited if she chooses to
take the bull by the horns.

TAe CAMPAIGN GOES ON.

There is no strengthening OF the de-
'euse OF the newspapers and people who
opposed the granting of the Utah Light
z Railway company's franchise extern
sion. The campaign of abuse and in
yeetive and villihcation goes ON. Not
2 single argument worthy of the name
has been advanced by the opposition.
Its members have confined themselves
- false statements and to the rearing
of absurd bogies.
In return for an average extension of
blight years the city gets cheaper lights,
cheaper street car rides, valuable wa
ter and power rights absolutely and
bn assurance Of an abundance of water
FOR use when the dry season of 1906
Is upon US. and forever afterwards.
Fhe members of the opposition say that
Rll this counts for nothing; that the
Fity has surrendered to the company
Rll the rights of the public; that the
company can rob and pilfer and plum
Der. can live up TO the terms of its
Franchise or not as it pleases. Well,
IS there anything in the franchise that
prevents the city from establishing an
Electric light plant Of its own?
A contemporary says the company's
kater and power sites could have been
obtained "by easy condemnation" 1t
fOrgets, Intentionally, we fear, that the
last legislature explicitly refused to
bass a law makinS~ it possible to con-
Hemn power and water rights. But

RUSSIAN Government PLANS.

That national representation. or the
giving to the people of voice in the
conduct of the government, is not a
new departure, is the proposition laid
down by a high Russian official who
discussed the approaching popular as
sembly the other day. According to
this official, the assembly is a legacy
from Russian history. In other DAYS
the people have had their say, but
in the experiment now about to be
tried they are to be given a wider
range than ever. Said the official:
1T is the imperial will that this con-
ultlon should be given Dermanency and
established IN the form of a council COM
posed OF two elements-the first Of men
IN the service of the state. appointed bv
the government. namely the present
council of the empire and the second Of
worthy representatives selected by the
people Both elements are intended to be,
on an equal footing The second base is
patton of representa- tives Of the people
IN the solving of national problems the
emperor's wish being to provide a deiib-
eIaJiVe ana not legislative body.
As third IL may be said that it is
not the aim to drag the country into pet
~ poltics Such as are seen in western
nations. but to call it to participate in
the difficult but remuuerative labor of ma
ttOnal legislation only. The practical
character OF the future ASSEMBLE is one
of the most important features and the
motto of the trainers. Not a reform but
reforms is recognized -
The object of the present deliberations
at PeterhOf IS to equalize the powers of
the two component parts and il is more
than probable that this inequality will be
rectified- Certain rules Of procedure in
the assembly. must be revised in order
to secure efficiency and political sound
ness. Among others it is proposed to
make the president of the DOuma- elective
instead of appOinCve and to ObViate much
of the red tape hampering the introduce
ton of bills ia the house and 1InWieldv
methods OF interpellatiug ministers. These
have been the subject of criticism at Pc
terhof. The nature Of the suffrage, too.
is one Of the main reasons why the pro-
Ject is again being revised at Peterhof -
If the plans here outlined are carried
out Russia will. still be a long way
from popular government. but she Will
have made a great stride forward.

IMMIGRATION FIGURES.

Figures on immigi alton during the
last fiscal year have just been given
out and they show that the popular
ity OF this country is rapidly increas-
ing Especially is it growing in Aus
tria- Hungary. for more than one
fourth of the unprecedented total of
immigrants came from that empire.
The figures are 1.O2f.4 2l for the total,
of which number 275.69S came from
Austria-Hungary. Not since 1908 has
the total Immigration Appropriated
the figures given above and 1903 fell
short of 1905 by nearly 100000.
Nor has there ever been such a large
number from one country, though Ger
many registered a bigger proportion of
the total in 1882. In that year out
OF 7Ss,922 immigrants 2506 $50. or nearly
one-third, came from the Vaterland.

a sort of fever that strikes different
countries at different times 1t is well
that this is true, for if the epidemic

time there wouldn't be enough room

65S Germans came to this country to
make their homes.
Then the tide swept over Italy. and
during the period of 19OO-O5 1859 900
citizens of sunny Italy cast their lot
with US. In the same period the peo-
pie Of AUSTRIA Hungary gave us almost
as many, the total being 1,O59,OS6 The
greatest number of Italians in any one
year was 230.622 in 1908
Nor is the immigration that is now
flooding us of a desirable character.
This is demonstrated by the fact that
the inspectors are sending more back
to their own country, in proportion to
the number of arrivals. than ever be-
fore. And the movement for the
strengthening of our immigration laws
is growing stronger every day. 1t is
not unlikely that congress. at its next
session, viii be practically forced to
take some action along this line.
