FOR DEFENSE OF INDIA.
Plan to Increase Army There from S0,-
 coo to 14O,0oo Men.

London, June 21.Indian Secretary Broderick, on presenting the Indian budget in the house of commons to- day, said it was his duty to ask the house to increase the charge for nili- tary services by about $12. 100000. He contended that the main reason for
 which the military forces of the colin-
 try were now organized was the de- fense of India. To neglect preparations
 for mobilization was an entirely faulty
 policy, and one which even if he did
 not agree with the scheme of General
 Lord Kitchener, commander-in-chief of
 the forces in India, for the reorganiza-
 tion of the Indian army, he would res
 olutely' oppose. Lord Kitchener's S
 scheme is to enable the formation of mine divisions, in both peace and war time, in place of the four divisions pre- viously existing, and to increase the |field army from SO,00O to 140,OO0 men. His proposed expenditure of $50,0O0,O00, ito which the home government has pro- lvisionally agreed, also provided for a complete re-equipnent of the Indian army in field artillery. The scheme in- cluded the regrouping of the troops, bringing them nearer the northwest frontier, and the maintenance in India of factories intended to make India self-supporting in the production of the ! neeessaries of war.

DISTINCT IMPROVEMENT
 IN THE HARVARD CREW
C0ACH WRAY ENCOURAGED BY
 WORK OF,VARSITK.

Yesterday Witnessed the Best Rowing So Far of the Men--sIore Life and
 Drive in the Boat--President Roose-
 yelt Sends Message of Good Luck
 Practice of Yale Crews Confined to
 Conditional Ross.
 B. Red Top, Gales Ferry, June 21.A distinct improvement in form was shown this afternoon by the Harvard varsity eight, the crew rowing better than for some time. Coach Wray said it was the best pieeeof work the crew has done this season, a report which was encouraging, as the varsity boat had seemed to be. falling off in both form and power in the last four days. This afternoon the varsity and fresh man eights went down to the navy yard, and then turned back and pad died up stream for a mile. From that point they raced over the last mile of the course, the freshmen, who started h half length ahead of the varsity, finishing a length and 8 quarter in the rear The 'varsity's time for the first half mile was 2:50 and for the mile was .6:34 which was fairly fast considering that there was head tide. In the last half mile the varsity stroke went up . to 34 to the minute, and this half was roWed about six seconds faster than the first. There was more life and drive in the boat, and a distinct irn- provsment in time, the oars going into the water and coming out very evenly.
 Sahnestock was put back to-day in his old place at No. 3 in the freshman eight, Parke going back to the four oar. It is settled that Gill will row at No. 3 in the fotir-oar.. As the fotr-oar had a hard row this morning there was no practice for that crew this after. noon. @@ A telegram was received to-day from President Roosevelt in response to the invitation to take, breakfast at Red Top while on his way to Worcester from New London this morning. The telegram which was sent from the pres- ident's train this forenoon was as fol- lows: |
 Expected to pass through New Lon- don much earlier or should have been out to greet you. Wish could see the race. Good luck to you. ~

 St. Petersburg, June 22--12:5S a. nl.- The public, which has no idea that ne- gotiations for an armistice are on foot believes that a great battle in Manchu- ria is now beginning. and official dis patches from both sides bear out the idea that the Japanese have commence ed their main advance, though as yet there have been no heavy collisions.
 The Japanese, following the checking of their demonstration to the westward, are now pushing forward in force along the railroad and the Mandarin and Mainaikai roads, their fronts now stretching from Singlungchuan, fifteen miles north of Changtufu, and east through Shuanmiaotzu station to Yao- ma Pass, on the Mandarin road.
 The Russians retired their advance posts without serious resistance and are evidently retiring to their first line of entrenchments which is believed to cross the railroad at Sipinghai, fifteen miles further north. They have a number of other fortified positions be- fore reaching their ultimate line of defense at Kirin and at Changchunfu, eighty miles in the rear. v.

4 MODUS TITENDL
The Probable Arrangement Between
 NorMay and Sweden.

Stockholm, June 21.-The separation Of Norway and Sweden seems likely to be amicably arranged by modus yi- Yendi between the two countries. While to-day's session of the riksdag was marked by a determination not to ad- init the right of the Norwegian stor- thing to proclaim the dissolution of the union, the moderators prevailed and on the request of King Oscar and the council of state for authority to grant the wish of the Norwegian people and dissolve the union, but to preserve the friendly relations of the two countries so as to insure cooperation in the fu- .ture, will be granted.
 After lengthy but dispassionate dis cussion of his maiesty's speech from the throne and the proposition of the council of state both chambers decided in favor of the governments request to appoint special committee of twen- ty-four members, twelve from each house, to consider the matter.
