Harvard Holds It for the First me in Eight Years.

Cambridge. May 29.-Crimson-jer- seyed sprinters. murders, leapers and weight throwers brought to Harvard in the stadium today the championship of the Intercollegiate association for the first time since 1901.
 Although Harvard was never headed in the race for points after the meet was fairly under way, the quality Of the athletes representing the twelve colleges was so high that three rec ords were broken, new times being made in the mile and two-mile runs, and new height being set in the pole vault W. c.

The Concluding Session of the Presby-

Denver. May 29.-The one hundred and twenty-first general assembly of the Presbyterian church came to a close this afternoon after quiet ses- sion, in which routine matters were disposed of and a vote of thanks ex- tended to Moderator Barkley and oth- CT officials of the body.
 As was indicated by the opening ac- ton of the assembly, the minority re- port of the committee on church pol ity recommending that the reduction of representation in the assembly be approached on a basis of a. church membership instead of the number of ministers, was adopted, and the propo- sition will be sent back to the pres byteries for action. Should this plan be accepted, the presbyteries will be further asked to ratify the proposition that 5000 communicants be the basis of computation.
 In the morning session, Atlantic City was decided upon as the next place of meeting. The committee on polity dis missed James and Alexander Waite, missionaries in China. because they had criticised other missionaries who were guilty of nothing more worldly than playing tennis

MAY OPTION CLOSED TAME. JamesA. Patten Was HIePCi-
 full to the Shorts THERE WAS NO SQUEEZING An Event Which is Usually Tragic Occurred Amid Such Circumstances as Might Surround a Dull Market.
THERE WAS NO SQUEEZING

Chicago. May 29.-What is generally conceded to have been the most suc- cessful wheat deal in the annals of the Chicago board of trade, was closed today, and it was closed with out the squeezing of the shorts, which show to the gallery visitors and leave Le Sale street staggering.
 James A. Patten, during today's brief session. made a fixed price of s1.S4 a bushel. Through his pit clerk, Ed Walker, he bought or sold at that price, but the buying was almost purely theoretical on his part He did take in a few thousand bushels from some trailer" who waited un- til the last moment for his profits, but in the main he disposed of about half a million to shorts who had hoped against hope to the last mo- ment and then, in the parlance of the pit, took their medicine"
 It was all quite tranquil, really duller than usual. and not even re- moteiy resembling the turbulence of the sessoins of previous months. Few were in the pit, and MT. Patten was not one of them. He sat in his office facing the blackboard, chewing vigorously at quid of gum, his hat pushed back on his head and his eyes fixed on the quotations of op- tions other than May.
 It was not until after the close of the market that the only bit of sentiment connected with the whole thing leaked out A procession of clerks headed for the cashiers of flee with broad grins on their faces and slips of white paper in their hands, and it was learned that every employe of the Bartlett-Patten house had been given a bonus of 10 per cent his annual salary.
 The price at which May wheat closed today did not represent fic- titious value It was. according to traders, consistent with the price the world over MT. Patten, had he wish ed, might have put the price at s5, and the remaining shorts would have been compelled to pay it or ac- knowledge bankruptcy.
 However, according to his friends, he remained consistent with his as- sertion that he had no wish to manipulate prices. but only to secure the legitimate profits of his fore sight He backed his judgment that there was less wheat in the world than was generally believed and found himself in control. Wall Street sold short, as did some Influential west ern spectators, but Patten stood firm. He took a vacation at a crit ical period of the campaign and ig- nored a decline of twelve cents that followed his departure from Chicago That loss was more than recovered for it was only a few days ago that the cereal sold at S135A, the highest price in eleven years.
 Patten has made fortune, how much he cannot say until his cash wheat is marketed. His own admis- sion, however, seems to make S1,0OO,- 900 a conservative estimate.
 The battle is not over yet, for the bulls and bears are still divided as to whether empty bins will be replenish- ed by the July harvest.

REVISION UPWARD
 WITH A VENGEANCE
All Schedules Considered the House Rates Were Raised.

Washington, D. C., May 29.-During the two hours before adjournment to- day the senate made more real pro-. gress in the adoption of the tariff schedules previously passed over than has been usual during an entire day. Despite protests voiced by Senators Beveridge and Root the duty on bar ley was increased from 25 cents a bushel as proposed by the house, to 30 >cents, as recommended by the com mittee on finance. The tax on hops was advanced. The house made the duty F cents.> while the committee on finance formerly advanced it to .15 cents. Today the conmittee brought in an additional amendment making the rate 20 cents. The dutv on pota- toes was made 45 cents per bushel in stead of 25 cents, and oysters in the shell were advanced from F of a cent a pound to 24 per cent. The increase in the rate of oysters was made on motion of MT. Piles, who has the in ldustry~ in bivalves to protect against i Canadian competition.

PERUVIAN UPRISING
 WIPED IN THE BUD IT HAS THE APPEARANCE OF
 SUCCESS. For Time the Revolutionists Had Possession of the President.

Lima, Peru. May 29.-A rising of po- litical factions occurred here today with the object of overthrowing the government of President Laguia. An attack was made upon the palace and firing was heard in all parts of the city. It is reported that many were killed or wounded.
 Adherents of Augusta Durand, who was concerned in the revolution at Chosica. near Lima, in May, 1908, and of Isaias Pierola, also a notorious agi- tator, attacked the palace and seized President Laguia. The army how ever, remained loyal and came to his support The revolutionists were obliged to liberate the president. who immediately took measures to put down the movement.
 Within an hour. although firing was still heard in the streets, President Leguia seemed master of the situa- tion. Many shots were exchanged and 1t is believed the casualties will be heavy.

TWENTY THREE AND OUT.
In the Early Part of the Fight the Californian Had the Best of It and Later He Stood up Bravely Under Terrific Battering.

San Francisco, May 29.-Battling Nelson, of Hegewische, H., the cham pion lightweight of the world. retain ed his title by defeating Fighting Dick" Hyland, of Grass Valley, Cal, in the twenty-third round at the Colma Arena this afternoon. Nelson scored his victory after his supremacy had been seriously questioned by his opponent, who was not knocked out until he had lost all his force and vitality through punishment of the most severe kind.
 Throughout dozen rounds Hyland and the champion hammered each other with vicious swings and upper cuts that cut short all promise Of a forty-five round contest. In the early stages Hyland was the master, al though it could not be said whether or not Nelson was extending himself.
 During the last three rounds, how ever, the Dane, disregarding all Fly lands efforts, went after his oppo- nent without an instant's rest, knock ing him down time after time, and between times staggering the game Californian with blinding volleys of right and left hooks to the head, varied by an occasional crushing straight left to the stomach. In the final round Hyland was almost at the champions mercy, although he con- tinued to offer all the resistance he possessed. He was in sore need of his seconds assistance when Nelson Nt- 1nff the pit of his stomach, ending the fight.
 Nelson frequently offered his face as a target while he tried for body blows. but only after the fight was half over and after he had been sub jected to every form of punishment that Hyland could administer Until the climax the Grass Valley fighter had confidence in himself, meeting rush with rush, clinch with clinch. and generally carrying the fight to his opponent.
 Nelson was hissed continually for his attempts to rough it and through out the fight the men exchanged un- friendly comment. The moving pie tire machine suspended operations for a considerable period, resuming a few rounds before the finish.
 The attendance was estimated at 5000 The receipts were $1s,OOO, or which Nelson received s6,50O and Fly land s1.50O.
 Frankie Smith, of San Francisco, was given the decision over Jeff Per ", Battling Nelson's sparring partner, after ten rounds of bloody milling. Smith opened a deep gash over Per rvs nose in the first round and the blood therefrom, which flowed cease lessly throughout the entire battle, bothered Perry greatly Smith out fought his man after the second round and the decision was clean cut.
