CREWS ON THE RIVER.
Harvard and Cambridge Both at Prac-
 tice-NO Heavy Work.

Bourne End, England, Aug. 1.-The Harvard oarsmen were out on the Thames this morning and rowed in short bursts from the island to Etave- oak ferry. They were rather ragged in style, but after turning to go back to their quarters they started off at 30, and, rowing all the way in splendid style, made a better impression.
 They rowed a clean stroke, which, with a powerful leg drive, they pulled right through. The men are pleased with their surroundings, and say the small stream compares favorably with the Charles river.
 Harvard was out again this evening and padded downstream for a consid- erable distance. but not getting pp a fest stroke. A big crowd witnessed the Americans practice.
 Cambridge was also afioat to-day, but did little more than paddle.

MORE IMPORTANT THAN CRIMINALS CONVICTION COUNTRIES HONOR MUST NOT SUFFER FOR SAKE OF
 PUNISHING.

Judge Hough Declares Its Importance
 is Greater Than the Punishment of Million CriminaIs-His Comment After
 Hearing Arguments in Case of c. c.
 Browne, Extradited from Canada on
 One OYense and Sent to Prison for
 Another.
 New York. Aug. That the honor of the United States is of more importance than the punishment of million crim- inals was the statement made by Judge Hough in the United States circuit court here to-day, i'll the habeas corpus proceedings instituted on behalf of Charles c. Browne. Browne was for merly employed in the customs service in this city and was extradited in Can- ada and taken to Sing Sing prison to begin a two-years' term for conspiracy to defraud the government.
 W. NJ. K. Olcott. counsel for the pris- oner, had claimed that the treaty of 1889 with Canada expressly provides that a man could not be tried for any other offense than that for which he was extradted. Brownes seizure and incarceration here was a gross violation of the treaty and a 'cheap John trick. :" In taking the papers in the case and reserving decision, Judge Hough corn- mented on the Rauscher decision, ln the United States supreme court which was favorable to MT. Olcott, and it was in this connection that he spoke of the honor of the United States being of more importance than the conviction of criminals He said that his under standing of the Rauscher decision was that the supreme court had made much of the question of the honor of the United States in such matters. The court clearly intimated that the seizure of Browne might be construed as a trick to get him here for one thing and punish him for another and that the Canadian authorities might so regadr 1t.
 Were it not for the Rauscher decis- ion, however, will say now" declared Judge Tough that I would send Browne back to Sing Sing.
 Some significance was attached to the fact that Charles Fox, counsel of Sir Percy Sanderson, the British consult general here, was present during the hearing.
 Special Assistant United States Att torney-G General W. Wickham Smith, ar- guing against the writ, said that ''trea- ties were not made for the benefit of criminals" and insisted that there was no violation of the treaty. Browne was taken back to Sing Sing prison.
 Browne was convicted of conspiring to defraud the government and sen fenced to two years irs prison. He jumped a $12,5O0 bail bond and fled to Canada. Extradition was refused on the conspiracy charge, but Browne was finally eXtradited on an amended charge of being fugitive from justice. His attorneys expected that he would first be brought to New York, but instead he was taken direct to Sing Sing prison

DETERMINED TO SETTLE
 THE AcRARIAN QUESTION
PLAN oFRUSSIAN GOVERNsy ENr TO APPEAsE THE
 PEASANTS.

 Landed Interests but the Mass of
 PeaSantry to It's Side by AetunIIv
 Giving the Latter Some Immeatatc
 Reiief--Crux of the Problem s. r4.
 Financial Aspect.
 St. Petersburg, Aug. 1.-The real in- tention of the government as revealed by member of the cabinet to The As- sociated Press this afternoon, shows that Premier Stolypin at least intends to pursue and hold an affirmative poli- cy, amounting virtually to a. determin- alton on the part of the administration to settle the agrarian question accord ing to Its own lights and irrespective of parliament and then go to the colin- try upon this issue.
 The government expects to rally not only all the landed interests but tho mass of the peasantry to It's side by actually giving the latter some iname- d1ate relief instead of merely holding out hopes of more advantageous set clement in the indefinite future, which has been the stock in trade of many reformers.
 Politically this move may prove very strong. The actual bestowaI of land, even If in smaller quantities than was expected, and the divisions of com munistio holdings will, it is believed make the peasantry disinclined to tvote, for candidates to the lower house who, might propose totally different solu- tion to the question. But above all in- divldual possession, the government calculates, will inculcate the very re- spect for property the lack of which. under the system of colnmunistic hold. ings has made many peasants such easy converts to the theory of the rar tionalization of land.
 The crux of the question is it's fi1lAn- cial aspect. It will be a herculean op- eration to find the funds required to purchase the private holdings which the project of Minister of Agriculture | snchinsky contemplated acouiring through the land banks, even though ] NAAN ONAO u1i0OF tiLG SQelIX or the agrarian disorders are ready to sell at most moderate prices The character I of these disorders has been shown again in a dispatch from Poltava de scribing the destruction of an estate owned by Prince Kotchubsy. where a, breeding stud of 250 horses and more 4 than 600 sheep were locked in burning buildings and wantonly left to perish.
 The government is holding to strict accountability the responsible officials of the government institutions which were affected by the strike. Director Suvoroff of the large printing estab-g lishment attached to the Official Mes senger, where the compositors struck Monday, has been discharged and the minister of railways has demanded the resignation of Superintendent Laurence of theIrinoff railroad for permitting the strikers to interfere with traffic on his road. r'NntfsSN
 That there is continued preparation among the revolutionaries for an armed uprising in the south is believed to be indicated by the interception by the po- lice of shipments of arms and ammuni- ton including rifles and sabres, at Pol tava and Theodosia

Washington, Aug. 7-Quite a con troversy has arisen as to what ship shall take the president to Panama and petitions have been filed at Oyster Bay on behalf of both the Louisiana and the Connecticut.

The ques- tion arose as to whether this amount should be assessed as a part of the cost of the vessel in the contest be tween the Connecticut and the Louis jana. The secretary has decided that 1t shall be added to the cost, but z memorandum made calling attention tt 1t so that it may or may not be con- sidered in the future in making compu- tations as to the relative cost of the two ships.

 At yesterdays game, the second of the series, there was a good deal of Iill-feeling shown on both sides on ac- count of decisions rendered by Umpire Johnstone.

JOCKhK MAKER INJURED
While Riding Race at Bridgton, Eng
 land, His Horse FaIIs.

London, Aug. 7.-In the Brighton stakes to-day Hornhead, ridden by Danny Maher, the American jockey, fell. Maher was badly shaken up, but was able to walk, though the pressure of the crowd was so great that 1t took seven mounted and about fifty foot po- licemen to carve way for him to the paddock, about half mile away.
 Curiously, Maher now remembers nothing of this walk or of what hap pened after his horse fell. The jockey s shoulder is badly bruised, but he suf- fered no serious injury. It probably will be three weeks before he is able to ride again.

 Until Late in the FalI--ClOsing Arr
 guments in the Case.
 Pittsburg, Aug. 1.-The now famous divorc6 trial of Augustus Hartje has been closed. With a brief address by Attorney J. Scott Ferguson the argu- ments were ended to-day but not be- fore MT. Ferguson's word was declared to be false in open court by Attorney John M. Freeman, senior counsel for Mrs. Hartje, the respondent.
 At the close of MT. Ferguson's brief argument MT. Freeman advanced to the rail and said he wanted to correct MT. Ferguson's account of a confidence in Attorney Watson's office.
 What you say took place did not take place." he shouted at MT. Fergu- son, who colored and cried out:
 That's matter of veracity between us. I'll put my word against yours any day."
 "Gentlemen, we can't permit thls," said Judge Frazer, and this incident closed the trial.
 Hartje sat in the court to-day under storm of criticism from Attorney Freeman, who made the closing argu- ment for Mrs. Hartje. Freeman accus- ed him of being the forger of alleged love letters from Mrs. Mary Scott Hart1e to Tom Nadine, and the main- spring of the alleged conspiracy to blacken his wife's name.
 As Judge Frazer stepped down from the bench he said: I'm glad it's all over. When this case was started thought it would take no longer than a week. I had no idet it would be so long. I am going on my vacation now, and won't be back until the Saturday be- fore the first of September. l will take up this case after that. My decision may not be given until late in the fall. '
