Which Takes Place Today.
(By the Associated Press.

(By the Associated PreSS.
Poughkeepsie, N. Y, June 27.-The
races of the annual intercollegiate re-
gatta, scheduled to be held on the
Poughkeepsie course tomorrow after
noon are set for the following hours
3 p. m.-University four-oared
shells, without coxSwainS, two miles
for the Kennedy challenge trophy.
3:45 p. m.-Freshmen eight-oared
shells. two miles for the Stewards cup.
5 p. m.-University eight-oared
shells, four miles, for the varsity chal-
lenge cup.
All the races will be rowed down
stream on the ebb tide, but rivermen
said today that the varsity race
would have to be started promptly at
o'clock or it would meet with slack
water. Although there has been a
good deal of rough water the last few
days, the indications tonight point to
good conditions tomorrow.
There were three tours in the sub
Stitute race, representing Cornell,
Pennsylvania and Columbia.
The course was a mile and a half,
finishing half a mile south of the
bridge. Pennsylvania won handily by
four lengths, holding the lead from
the start. Cornell pressed the Quakers
hard for a mile, with Columbia lag
ging behind.
Cornell finished four lengthS ahead
of Columbia. There was no official
time, but it was taken at minutes
and 80 seconds.
A pretty and unusual feature of the
evening practice was afforded by the
fraternizing of the Wisconsin and
Cornell crews. All the betting to-
night makes Cornell favorite. A
large delegation from Syracuse is will
ling to back their crew against Cor
nell, but they ask odds of five to four.
Georgetown, Pennsylvania, Wisconsin
and Columbia hackers are making
even money bets, one against another.

SWEDEN IN ANGRY MOOD.
Wrathful Debates i'm the Parliament
Show That Few Think Peace
full Solution of the Difficulty
With Norway Prob
able.
(By the Associated Press. }

10y the Associated Press.
Stockholm, June 27.-Both houses
of the Riksdag today elected extra
ordinary committees to which were
referred the government bill looking
to a settlement with Norway
The debates on the bill brought out
fiery speeches, in which the action OF
the Norwegian Storthing was con-
demned, and the Swedish cabinet Sc
verely criticised.
The tenor of the speeches through
out the debate in both houses leaves
the impression that the majority of
the speakers were of the opinion that
d peaceful solution of the difficulty was
extremely improbable.
The debate in the upper chamber
was initiated by c. A. Berg, who de-
clared the proposals of the Swedish
government were nothing less than a
surrender to the Norwegian revolu-
tionists. The Riksdag. he said, could
not acknowledge Norway as a sover-
eign state until Sweden's just de-
mands were fulfilled. If the bill was
to be passed it should be introduced
by the government in whose states
manship and capacity the Riksdag
had full confidence.
Herren Kennedy and Lithander,
members of the right party. similarly
criticised the government. The latter
declared that Sweden's national honor
demanded the most vigorous resistance
to the acts of the Norwegian revolu-
tioniSts.
Cheers greeted the remarks of Presi-
dent Saefav that the negotiations
should be accompanied by military
preparations.
Premier Ramstdet argued against
the employment of force, saying con-
quered Norway would be forever a
source of danger.

No Surprise at Washington.
fBy the Associated Press.)


Washington. June 27.-The an
nouncement of the resignation of John
Wallace as chief engineer of the Canal
Commission was not unexpected in
view of his request some time ago
to be allowed to come to this country
to discuss affairs with Secretary Taft.
Members of the committee today did
not hesitate to say that his resignation
would greatly embarrass the commit
tee as it might necessitate the post
ponement the meeting of the full com
mittee i'm September. The possibility
of Mr. Wallacc's resignation has been
discussed informally in the commission
for several days. but Secretary Taft is
stated to have been really the only
person who had an inkling of Mr.. Wal
lace's intentions. That the Secretary
held strong views on the subject was
known to several of his friends, and il
is expected that there may yet be
some interesting developments before
the official resignation as announced
by the government.
1t is said that Mr.. Wallace when he
last conferred with the officials before
leaving for the ISthmus expressed him
self as gratified at the consideration
shown him and declared his entire
satisfaction with the plans for the adj
ministratiOn of the canal.
