HANDING 1T TO
THE HARVARD CREW

PUTNEY, August 31.-Manager Merrill
of the Harvard crew told a reporter that
he was more hopeful than he had been
hitherto of the success of his college. The
several mishaps that the crew had met
with had unnerved them somewhat, but he
thinks now that Cambridge will not have
things all its own way.
He is astonished at the great popular in
terest that is shown during practice hours.
The towpath is crowded and the jam
around the Harvard quarters was so great
yesterday that it required several police
men to clear path for the crew to the
river. Rowing experts now express admiral
ton for the proves of the Harvard men.
The senior member of the professional row.
ing family of Gibson said: Il think the
race is as good as Harvard's."
Both crews were afioat just after high
tide yesterday morning. Harvard was first
in the water and padded to the Crabtree
and return. They had another start from
a moored staff below Walden's wharf and
rowed twenty strokes for the first half
minute, but dropped to thirty-seven for
the full minute. The water was rough,
but the Americans got through it in work.
manlike fashion. The Cambridge crew row.
ed for a minute from the stakeboat at a
thirty eight stroke.
afternoon. The tide was running out fast
and they had only thirty-six minutes for
work. This time they utilized with a series
Of thirty-second spins. The Cambridge
crew merely took a short paddle out and
home.
The Harvard crew will have the biggest
practice yet today. They will row for all
they are worth from Putney to Mortiake.
Vivian Nickalls, the old Oxford oarsman,
said: Il wish Harvard could be persuaded
to race in an English-built boat. The more
l see of their wretched tub the less | like
her. l cannot understand why there are
such enormous wheels in the slides or
why they have the seats fixed so low in
the boat. If they had adopted an ordinary
wheel they could fix the seats to the gum
vale, which l am confident they would find
to be a great advantage"

YANKEES BEHIND CUBA NOUNS.
Decisive Battle With the Insurgents
Expected Shortly.

Expected Shortly.
The rattle of machine guns became a ia
miliar sound yesterday on the sea front Of
Havana where Maj. Clews' corps were try
ing their weapons and drilling for their
new duties. Part of the corps is going
to the front today, but its destination has
not been divulgedS
Maj. Clews has appointed the following
Americans officers Of his corps:
Battery A-Captain, E. r. Webster, who
served in the United States navy and COM
manded Cuban gunboat for three years,
subsequently being consul agent at Carde-
mas; lieutenant, William Shockley, a former
United States cavalryman and artillery
man.
Battery B-Captain, Andrew Clegraux, a
sharpshooter, who served with the Ameri-
can forces in Cuba and the Philippines;
lieutenant, Adolph Fittig, an American cit
izen, and formerly a lieutenant in the Ger
man army.
merly Of the Cuban revolutionary army:
lieutenant, Alexander, former United
States artilleryman.
The, officers of Battery D have not yet
been named There are twenty-five Ameri-
Generals Avalos and Pine Guerra were
close to each other last night in the vicin-
ity of Guanes, whittier Avalos, with LOCO
cavalry, mounted infantry, rural guards
and recruits. marched yesterday from the
little village of Sabalo. The Associated
Press correspondent with Gen. Avalos re-
ports that considerable number of re-
. cruits fell out along the march from San
Juan de Martinez, overcome by the heat
and choking dust, and that some were i'll
with fever, induced by drinking bad water.
The general spirit, however. was good.
The story of the plundering of Gala
fore by Guerra's men has been duplicated
on a larger scale at sabalo. When the
government troops reached that place We'd
nesday night they found the general store
in state of INDISPENSABLE ruin. Every
kind of merchandise, liquid or solid; cloth
ing, dry goods and everything the insur-
gents did not want, was piled together in
stacks.
Guerra's men. on their arrival there. had
crowded into the store and begun taking
what they chose. Guerra and some of his
officers, who strenuously tried to prevent
them, finally drew their machetes and
wounded several men who were searching
the store for money. The townspeople as
sert that there were evidences Of consider
able bloodshed. Guerra utterly failed to
prevail over his men.
The opposing forces are so close to-
night that battle is expected shortly.

Tainted Meat stirs Soldiers.

Tainted meat delivered at the camp Of
the regulars at Fort Benjamin Harrison. in
Indiana, came near ending in riot yester-
day, when rations were issued. board Of
inspection examined the food and reported
that the meat was tainted in spots. but
recommended that these spots be cut away
and the untainted meat eaten. This was
far from satisfactory and, there was much
murmuring, so General Carter ordered all
the meat destroyed and a new issue made.
The action OF General Carter quieted the
soldiers. who qheered his decision when 1t
was announced

Democrats Are Awake.
,m the Philadelphia Inquirer.

1t win not do for republicans to minimize
the danger in a candidacy that is spentane-
ously rendered two years ahead OF time by
democratic party that is once more weld
ed together in hearty accord. Indeed, Mr.
Bryan must be taken seriously, and If he is
to be beaten no time must be lost. Yester-
day prominent Pennsylvania democrats as
sured him that all possible aid would be
given him In this state and that the Emery
movement would send eight democratic
congressmen to Washington. Fired with
Bryan enthusiasm the democrats intend to
make vigorous campaign in Pennsylvania
this year.

Mr.. Bryan's Platform.

Mr.. Bryan's speech in New York yester-
day is great one from the Bryan stand
point. It shows him as a man Of many con-
victions and with the courage of them The
rather empty rhetoric that characterized his
earlier speeches is altogether wanting in
this one, except in the philippe against
"plutocracy' with which he concludes. If
the democratic national convention of 1908
wants Mr. Bryan as its candidate its plat
form committee will find Its work done
ready to hand. His speech yesterday is a
platform in which he enumerates, without
stopping to develop them, the principles and
policies which he favors and which the DEM
ocratic party must accept If it accepts him

Mr.. Bryan's New Party.
the New York Times.

From the New York Times.
Returning to his native land Mr.. Bryan
presents himself to his countrymen no
longer as democrat, but as the founder
and leader of new party, the exponent
of a new national policy and the advocate
Of new and revolutionary principles. In
his judgment 1.-The overshadowing evil Of
the day is the trust, with the plutocratic
tendencies that result therefrom." and, be-
lieving that the trusts are fostered and
sustained by private monopoly in railroad
transportation, he attacks the evil by pro-
posing national ownership of the trunk line
railroads and state ownership of local lines
Mr.. Bryan recently said that he was more
radical than ever. This is his radicalisun.
1t is not democracy-that is certain. Gov.
eminent control over interstate commerce
corporations is republican doctrine as well
as democratic doctrine, for it is imbedded
in the Constitution. But public ownership
of the railroads has not up to the present
time been an article Of faith with either
party, and by portending the effacement Of
state lines it stands in irreconclable con-
fict with that century-old foundation
principle of democracy that insists upon
state rights and the limiting of the federal
power to its strict constitutional preroga-
tives. That he expects to make himself
the leader Of a new party made up from
the membership of both the old parties is
the plain meaning of Mr.. Bryan's speech.

Walk Warily.
From the New York Sun.


There is no doubt about the magnitude Of
the demonstration arranged to commemo-
rate Mr.. Bryan's home coming, and the i'm
pressive welcome must have been peculiarly
grateful to him, offered, as it is, in city
which ten years ago he had reason to de-
scribe the enemys country" The de-
cade has witnessed, however, not few
dislocating changes in the political stua-
ton, not only in New York, but in many
another northern state, changes which
throw light on the motives now actuating
men once unfriendly or lukewarm toward
the Nebraskan, and should warn the pro-
fessional candidate that the surface of
things, though smooth and bright enough,
hides many pitfall. and that it behooves
him to walk with exceeding wariness, lest,
when the prize seems within his grasp, he
stumble and clutch only the vacant air.
We call Mr.. Bryan a professional can
didate, not invidiously. but because the
term is fairly applicable to him which was
actually applied. by rivals and opponents to
Martin Van Buren, and Henry Clay in
1874, when each practically requested his
party to give him third nomination.

Bryan went abroad. almost a year ago.
The railroad rate legislation enacted by
Congress during his absence had been dis
cussed in the spring of 1905. On returning
home Mr.. Bryan finds that republican
jority in both branches Of the national leg
islature, has carried out certain reforms
with which the democratic leader had been
from his speech Mr.. Bryan is not without
positive policies, notwithstanding the whole
sale appropriation of his thunder during his
sojourn abroad. In the main. his position,
as disclosed by his speech yesterday, is not
much in advance Of public sentiment. The
principal exception is his advocacy Of fed
eral and state ownership Of RAILROADS. So
far as the railroads are concerned, Mr..
Bryan comedies that the time Is far distant
when there will be federal ownership. The
question naturally suggests itself, there
fore, why should he consider it wise or
expedient to raise the issue now.

European Models.
From the Baltimore American.

More than Delphic wisdom flashed forth
from the speech with which the Peerless
Leader. of the Invincibles responded to the
ovation rendered him. He comes like the
man in the prophets vision with a measure
ing rod in his hand to mark out the eniarg-
ed boundaries of the newer America, to be
created out of the desolation to which impi-
GUS political rule has brought the country.
He has demonstrated with line and plummet
certainly how easy and delightful a task 1t
is to create a Utopia out of. the crude ma
terials of an Ineffective Constitution, subsi-
died public opinion, tainted money and
schemes of pedatory industry. By touch
here sand a touch there of the magic wand
of European methods he has revealed to the
country that the simplest thing in the world
is for it to be made mosaic exhibit OF the
economic principles of all the lands he has
Just visited.

I. G. G. WORKING HARD
VARIOUS COMPLAINANTS ASK
REoPENING OF OLD CASES.

Work Is pouring in on the Interstate COM
merce commission as the result of the new
rate law. There are a number Of cases that
were settled by the commission SO far as
the commission was able to settle them I'M
der the old law, and the original complain
ants are asking that these cases be re-
opened.
One of these received today was the COM
plant of the Cattle Raisers' Association of
Texas against the Chicago, Burlington and
Quincy, the Chicago Great Western and a
number of other railroads This case is
about ten years old and involves the ter
minal charge of 81 per car on live stock
shipped to Chicago. In the original case
the Chicago Live Stock Association inter-
vened, having the same complaint against
the railroads. Now that it has been re-
vived. the American National Live Stock
Association and the Corn Belt Meat Pro-
ducers Association have both interviewed
and the case will await the decision of the
commission whether or not to reopen it.
Another complaint made public today is
that of the American National Live Stock
Association and the Cattle Raisers Associ-
alton OF Texas against the Texas and Pa
cif1c railroad and about a dozen connecting
lines.
Their complaint is that the Texas and
Pacific road has refused to make a through
or combination rate on live stock shipped
from Texas points to northern market
centers outside the state and has refused
to furnish through cars. thus forcing the
shippers to transshp their stock at various
points. resulting in great loss and expense
to the producers.
Big Cotton Hearing.
One of the next important actions of the
commission will be to hear the various
cotton-carrying roads on the desirability
of changing the rates on export cotton on
less than thirty days notice to the commits
sion. This is likely to be an extensive
hearing, the commission has invited all
persons and commercial bodies interested
in the subject to be present at the hearing,
which will be held in the commissions rooms
in this city September IL.
There were a number of administrative
orders issued by the commission today on
behalf of various roads wishing, for spe-
cial purposes to make changes in rates on
less notice than the thirty days ordered by

After reading in several of the

quake shocks that came during a per
iod of three days, the more authentic
news comes that several buildings
were damaged and a few wrecked by
the shocks, but that the town is still
on the map. Judge VIM. H. Pope re-
ceived a letter this morning from w
E. Martin formerly clerk of the dis
trict court here and we'll known in

been greatly exaggerated. He said
that the chimneys of many houses
had been shaken down and a num-
ber of houses damaged. The county
Jail was wrecked, but this was the on
ly total wreck he mentions Mr. Mar
tin is at present clerk of the Third

TIE UP OF PRINT SHOPS.
May Result From Action of Printing
Trades Council.

Chicago, July 21-A complete tie
up of the printing establishments of
the Chicago Typotnetae employers
association may follow the action
taken by the Allied Printing Trades
Council to assist the compositors in
their fight for an eight-hour work
day. A committee of one from each
of the five international unions af-
fected has been appointed with full
power to act. The printers have of
fered to pay strike benefits to the
workmen called out in sympathy with
them The pressmen have been un-
der a five-year contract with the EN-
ployers which does not expire until
next May, but the refusal of the Uni
ted Typothetae at the convention in
Buffalo yesterday to consider the
pressmen's demand for eight hours
work on the expiration of their con
tract will, the local officers say, re
suit in forcing the pressmen to take
sides with the printers.
