HARVARD SLIDE CRITICISED
COMMENT ON MOVEMENT WHEN
 SEEN ON THE THAMES

English Experts Adverse as They Were
 at Bourne End--First Appearance oi
 Americans on the Tideway Course
 Both Crews Reconsideration and
 Glass Practice in Pair-Oar.
 Putney, Aug. 25.-The first appear ance of the Harvard and Cambridge crews on Tideway to-day drew a large crowd some fifteen hundred persons lining the banks this morning to see the Harvard oarsnen, while this evening there were fully 4,000 persons out. The scene was reminiscent of the last. stages of the Oxford Cambridge practice. The Americans made the best of their op- portunity this morning to get used to the rougher water and altered condi- tions, going down to Wordsworth and back and practicing starts and sprints. The tide was very low, Wray had to coach from shell.
 Both crews were afoat late this aft ernoon, when the flood tide, assisted by strong east wind, gave plenty of wa ter The Cambridge men were out in the boat in which they defeated Oxford. Then, changing to their 1906 boat and strolcing thirty-fou they showed ex- cellent speed. Three-quaFters of an hour later Harvard rowed to Chiswiclx, returning in short bursts against a fairly strong stream. Faulkner and Lunt were still in their places, and Richardson and Glass were sufficiently well to go out in q boat by themselves. Morgan's arrival is anxiously awaited. It is hoped his inclusion will greatly strengthen the crew.
 The sliding movement favored by Harvard is adversely criticised here, as it was previously at Bourne End.
 The young Princes Edward and AL bert of Wales witnessed the days prac- tice from Cambridge's launch.
 A pleasant feature of the training has been the good feeling between the crews, who at Bourne End were on closer terms of friendship than the light and dark blues ever have been.
 On returning from practice the liar ward men found the young princes wait ing in the drawing room of the club i Captain Filley was presented to the princes, who said they very much en- | ioyed the rowing.

 ] Valparaiso. Aug. 33.-Fernandez Blan- co, governor of the province of Valpa- raiso, has proclaimed the city of Val- paraiso in a state of siege and has con- ferred supreme authority on Navy Cap tain Gomez Carreno. The prefect of police is charged with the duty of col lecting and distributing food. One of the first acts of the military governor was to issue an order that any person found breaking water mains should be shot. The water supply is fairly ade- quate, and repairs are actively pro- gressing at Baron Hill, vina del Mar and RaInaditas, where large number of mains were broken by the earth quake.
 The whole of Victoria street tonight is illuminated by electric lamps. Two other streets also are lighted and to- morrow night GerTo and Alefres streets will be lighted Electric cars already are running between Baron station and Becreo, and probably tomorrow the op- eration of cars will be extended to Vina del Mar.
 The total number of corpses buried ! up to Tuesday, August 21, was 64S. l A movement is on foot to organize a company to facilitate the raising of the money necessary to reconstruct the city, It is proposed to advance the sums needed without interest for the l first six months. The plan Is to con- struct the new buildings of light ma terials and to lay out the streets so that they will have a uniform width of twen- l ty metres.
 All the provinces of the north and south which have not suffered from the earthquake are sending supplies of food and money to the cities and towns which suffered from the disturbance,
 The department of public works at Santiago has appropriated $100,000 for the construction of sheds to shelter the refugees from Valparaiso and elsewhere who continue to arrive at the Chilean capital in large numbers.

 St. Petersburg, Aug. 23.-The Rus sian government has definitely decided to proceed with it's original plan of set- ting the agrarian question by the dis tribution of land, regardless of parlia- ment, and to go to the country upon the issue at the coming elections.
 An important series of conferences began last night at Peterhof on the question of the immediate distribution of the crown lands and appendages to the peasants in an attempt to find a partial solution of the agrarian ques- ton by measurably appeasing the land hunger of the peasqntry, and the Asso- ciated Press is now in a position to an- nounee that the government has deti- nitely decided to proceed with the orig inal plan outlined in these dispatches August for settling the agrarian question regardless of parliament, and go to the country on the issues at the coming election. The Associated Press was informed this afternoon by mern- Der of the cabinet who participated in the Peterhof conferences that the agra rian question is no longer open. With in a fortnight an imperial ukase direct ing the agrarian commission to begin the distribution of 1,S00,000 dessiatines Ca dessiatine is about two and one-half acres) belonging to the appenages, A. 100000 dessiatines belonging to the crown and 2,0O0000 dessiatines of long offered to or purchased through the Peasants bank. Only the forest lands belonging to the state, the preservation of which is considered necessary for the future agricultural prosperity of the country, win be reserved. The transactions will be financed through the Peasants bank, Little cash will be required The landlords ard other sell CTS will be given marketable land- script eventually redeemable by the peasant purchasers in installment notes designed to meet the interest and amortization The emperor vii not give the land of the imperial fami ly as a free gift, but, like other land lords, he will accept script. Moreover it Is believed that no parliament vii ever dare repeal this temporary law
 Nearly all the present restrictions up on the peasants as class will also be l removed. This In substance is the governments bold bid for the support of the Russian peasant millions against | the propaganda of the revolutionists.

 Thus Cheapen Meat-Our Meat En-

 Spite of Criticisms Says Dr. Butler.
 The climax of the forty-third annual meeting of the American Veterinary Medical association was reached last night in the banquet held at the Ton fine hotel, Over three hundred covers were laid and the banquet hall present. ed a pretty scene as the veterinarians with their wives and families took seats at the tables to the strains or sweet music. Each was prepared for the one event in which every member of the doctors family could participate with equal enthusiasm and pleasure. There were to be no learned dlscus- sions of scientific papers, although, as the toastrnaster remarked, many bits of useful information were dropped by the long list of speakers distinguished in their profession.
 The crowning event of the evening was when Dr. William H. Lowe, the retiring president of the association presented to Dr. w. H. Hoskins an ele- gant and valuable punch bowl service in tba name and on behalf of tine mem bers of the association. The occasion was the completion by Dr. Hoskins of twenty-five years connection with the association, during which time he has not missed single session of annual conventions. Dr. Hoskins responded fttingly and feelingly. He thanked the association for their king regards and the loving token.
 Prof. W. H. Brewer when responding to the toast "Yale University caused quite a sensation by saying that ht hoped the time would come wher horse flesh would be as freely eaten as that of the COW and he urged the veter. inarians to encourage such a practice and thus bring benefit to the people by decreasing the cost of meat and making a market for the old and use. less horse.
