Odessa Mob and Wheat.
From the New York Evening Post.

From the New York Evening Post.
Just before the Russian battleship sailed
into Odessa Wednesday. with the red flag
at her masthead, and the rioting began,
wheat in Chicago sold for July delivery at
80 Is cents per bushel. Three days later
1t rose to "a, and the board Of trade con-
nected the two events.
How would the wheat market be affected
by a successful revolutionary uprising in
Russia? First comes the fact that In 1904,
despite the war, Russia led all the world as
a wheat producer and exporter. While our
own wheat crop was falling from the 748,-
900. 600 bushels of 1901 to the 552 600 900 of
1904 European Russia's crop was rising
from 401 100000 to 616.000.0OO. The two
changes fairly counterbalanced one another
But suppose an uprising in which the har-
vest hands, like the Warsaw mechanics,
would go on a general strike. Perhaps the
wheat trade had this possibility In mind.
One-fourth of Engiands imported wheat
thus far in 1905 has come from Russia, and
OF this the greater part was sent out
through Odessa, to which port the fertile
valley Of the Dnieper is tributary. Sup
pose that the Kniaz Potemkin had not sur
rendered. but had held the port Of Odessa
against all incoming ships. Some effect on
the worlds great grain markets could not
have been avoided.
Neither result has come about, and neither
Is probable. But one can get glimpse at
the possible meaning Of revolution, Per-
hapS, however. the most remarkable Of all
the wars commercial consequences Is the
mere fact that Russia. during its progress.
rose to unprecedented heights In its capac-
ity to feed the world. This Is one clue to
the empires future.

OF the largest payments are made by mere

no cash Is paid out, snd the bank on
which the checks are drawn only loses in
deposits that portion of the fund that is

CHRIS. P. COX

Chris P. Cox stroke of the freshmen
eight of Cornell. which displayed such fine
racing qualities at the regatta held on the
Hudson at Poughkeepsie on June g. where
in the presence of thousands of spectators
the crews of the IthacanS swept nearly
everything before them In their march to
victory. Is we'll known among the younger
athletes of this city He is a graduate OF
the Central Highs School, class of 1904.
Coach Courtney of Cornell saw his racing
qualities soon as he reached Ithaca and
in very short time he was given a chance
to see what he could do in the shell, and
the result was that when the junior var
sity crew went to Philadelphia to race in
the American Henley on. the Schuylkill,
Cox the stroke.
Last year he was a member of the foot
bail squad of the carneHan and white and
in several games played at full back in
great shape. While a. the Central High
School he was captain of Company A,
1891; captain of the foot bah team, 1904,
and captain of the base ball team in 1903.
He won the Jacob Tome medal in the 40
yard event in the interScholaStic contest
on Franklin Institute Field in 1903, and
since has won several other medals upon
the track.

hot tip in this race as the Quaker freshies
were known to have beaten their varsity
eight time and again the two-mile trials,
and even to have beaten them in a four
mile race. The Syracuse eight were fam
cied a great deal mainly because of their
age and consequent haTdihood. and inciden-
tally because it was known they could row
fast. Cornelrs four had succumbed to the
finishing sprint OF the Syracuse boat a
short time before. and this had taught the
Ithacans that their neighbors up the state

WORSE THAN NICOTINE.
Another and More Poisonous Consti-

From the New York Globe.
There Is q poisonous constituent of to-
bacco smoke having no connection with
nicotine which Is believed by some pf1ysiol-
ogists to be the chief cause Of tobacco pois-
oning. This Is a gas called carbon monox-
ide (CO), the deadly poison In common
illuminating or water gas which causes
softening of the brain. destroys the blood
and produces the long. trance-like sleep Of
gas poisoning.

College Athletics.


The intercollegiate athletic year of 1904
%. which ended with the Yale-Harvard base
BAH game. the intercollegiate regatta at
Poughkcepsie and the Yale-Harvard boat
races Al New London last week. will always
be recorded as one of the most SUGGEST ul
in the annals of university sport. Its sue
cess is not indicated SO much In the num-
Der of broken records in the multiplied
ton of sports and the high standard of ex-
cellence reached throughout the country.
The competition among college athletes IS
at present 50 fierce that new records do not
come easily, because most of them nor
set near the limit
What has distinguished The year n the
east more than anything else has been the
extraordinary number of sports in which
intercollegiate championships were held and
awarded. Within the last year university
sports have been organized to such an eX-
tent that there is now hardly any sport of
Importance which is not fOstered by means
OF a separate intercollegiate associa ton.
Among the members of the Big Six" in
cl-diug Yale. Harvard. Pennsylvania,
Princeton, Cornell and Columbia, intercol-
legiate associations are maintained for tho
fostering of nineteen different sports. At
all Of these institutions there are additional
minor sports which have not yet risen to
the dignity of intercollegiate cha mpion-
ships.
This organization has not been carried so
far In the west. In that section only three
sports have been organized as In the east.
These are foot ball, base ball and track
athletics. Cross-country running had its
initiation last year at Chicago. but as Ne
braska the only institution which join
cd with Chicago. this could hardly be called
intercollegiate sport.
The following are the sports which are
fOstered throughout the east and in which
championships were decided: Track ath-
letics. foot ball. base ball. rowing, assoca-
ton foot ball, basket ball. cross-country
running, cricket, chess, fencing, gymnas
tics. hockey, lacrosse, shooting, tennis.
swimming, wrestling. wafer polo In addi
ton to these indoor tennis. racquets bowl
ing and other minor sports flourish without
organization Although the western COL
leGes are far behind the east in the diver
sity of sports they foster, they rapidly

taking the initiative in introducing many of
the minor sports which are popular In
the east.

Penn and Harvard
In the west Chicago won the track and
field championships for the first time in five
years Michigan and Minnesota had TO d.
vide the foot ball honors. Both teams went
through the season without defeat, but
did not meet each other. Michigan won the
base ball championship and Nebraska the
cross-country championship. In no other
sports were intercollegiate championships
decided.
Because of the defeat of the University
of Wisconsin at the Poughkeepsie regatta
last week there is serious talk of giving
up rowing at the western university Wis
consin has been going to Poughkeepsie
year after year and has, never cut much
of a figure. All this has been at a very
great expense. and Wisconsin men who
have been putting up the money want their
university to either win quit rowing. On
this account Coach O'Dea has come IN for
a great deal of severe criticism. 1t is al
legged that he never has his crews in
shape. that they are either overtrained or
undetermined. and that he has chung to the
old-fashioned Australian stroke instead of
adopting the best features of the American
west to the effect that Wisconsin may
form western intercolle giate regatta as
sociation and premt~~e racing there instead
of spending her strength at Poughkeepsie
every year. Michigan is situated that
she develop rowing and plans have
been discussed throughout the institution
for the organizat ton of a crew.
Eastern college men are very much in
Of Yip or
University So far the Tigers have not
given any linking as to where they will
row, whether it will be at Poughkeepsie or
New London. Certain it is that Yale and
Harvard are doing all in their power to
get the Princetonians to row at New Lon
don instead of the Hudson. Princeton
would have a better chance at New Lon
don than al Poughkeepsie, because of the
higher class OF oarSmen she would have TO
meet at the latter place. The Tigers lake
will be completed some time this year, CIV
ing Princeton ample time to develop crew
for next spring.

CLUES AND PRoHIBITIoN.

The Schiller-Verin Club of Lewiston proposed to give little function in commemoration of the great German poet. and it naturally wanted beer. A verein of any. sort devoid of malt re- treatments would be vain and foolisn thing. as all the world knows. But the Sheriff of Androscoggin county had no Germanic sympathies; he took into cus-
 tody the carload of beer shipped to the club, and the Schiller-Verein had to celebrate in Sahara dryness.
 Now after two weeks of deliberation the court returns the beverage to the club, and declares that such seizures must not continue. It further lays down the principle that two persons might send to Boston for a gallon of whiskey
 and pay for it and divide it equally,
 and if intended for their own use the transaction would be legal. What two persons might do, 10 might do in the sams manner" We confidently expect to see a large
