Separated the Boats at the Finish. HENLEY, July 5. To the disappoint ment of all the Americans at Henley the Leander Rowing Club crew this morning defeated the crew of the University of Pennsylvania In the final heat for the grand challenge cup. There was bright sunshine and puffy cross winds blowing from the Bucks shore, slightly favoring the Leanders station. The followers of the British crew evinced the greatest confidence and Leander money was every where available, but this confidence never exceeded anything beyond even money. The Pennsylvanians' friends picked up several hundred pounds and a Philadel phia occupant of a houseboat Is said to have Invested 500 In favor of his crew. The Pennsylvanians reached their boat house at 11 o'clock, apparently as fit as possible, while many of the followers of the red and blue showed marks of the in tense strain of the final minutes. The 1 crew stripped, chatted and laughed as coolly as though going out for practice. Ellis "Ward, the American coach, placed a miniature American flag upon the rudder of his boat as the coxswain came to the boathouse, and said to Smith: "Keep that as far ahead, my boy, as you can." The following are the names of the two crews: Leander C. A. Willis, bow; H. J. Du- . valer, "W. Dudley TVard, G. M. Maitland, C. D. Burnell, J. E. Payne, C. J. D. Goldle, R. B. Etherington-Smith, stroke; C. S. MacLagan, coxswain. Pennsylvania R. R. Zane, bow; R. H. Elsenbray, F. L. Davenport, S. Crowther, Jr.. A. H. Fllckwer, G. S. Alyn, W. G. Gardiner, J. P. Gardiner, stroke; L. J. Smith, coxswain. Both crews at the start showed no trace of nervousness, and were sent away in capital style, the Pennsylvanians rowing 43 to the minute and the Leanders rowing 42. At the end of Temple Island the Americans led by a third of a length. At Frawley the time was 3 minutes, 25 2-5 seconds, with the Leanders three feet ahead. From there on it was a splendid struggle out of which the Leanders gained inch by inch. The mile was reached in 5 minutes, 15 seconds with the Leanders half a length ahead, which they increased to three-quarters of a length. At the Isthmian the Pennsylvanians made a des perate spurt, but It was of no avail, and two men weakened perceptibly opposite the grand stand. The Leanders won by a length In 7 minutes, 4 4-5 seconds. "It was a grand race," said Coach Ward, as the Leanders crossed the finish line. "We were simply outrowed and have no other explanation to make." It certainly was the best and most ex citing tussle ever seen at Henley. There was scarcely the advantage of three feet in the Leanders station. The cheering for the contestants as they struggled for the lead was terrific. Even Henley had never before heard such wild applause as greeted the Pennsylvanians and the Leanders all down the course, and the cheering was delirious from the partisans of the Lean ders as the latter's boat crossed the line at the finish ahead of the Pennsylvanians. The Americans paddled slowly to the raft and took their boat out of the water. Their appearance indicated that they had had a hard fight. Stripping as quickly as possible the Pennsylvanians were soon In the water for a swim. Stroke Gar . diner smiled as he greeted a represent ative of the Associated Press, saying: "We did not think It, but they were too strong." Then, plunging Into the water, he r seemed almost dazed for a moment, while his brother, sitting on the bath steps, watched the minute pass that he re. mained under water. But Gardiner popped up quickly and groped his "way to the resting board. Ten minutes later all the crew were out again, and -while "Bob" Cook, of Tale, and scores of friends came to express sympathy, the crew cheerily declared they had given the Leanders all they had, and had never rowed In better form. Dr. White said the crew came through the ordeal as fine as possible, and Captain Fllckwer said that, individually, the crew did splendidly. "I don't think there was any one man worse than any other," the coxswain said: "our start was not as good as yester day, yet It was a fair start. The wind was much against us, and in trying to avoid puffy gusts I was afraid twice that I might foul Leander. We were rowing about 40 all through, as near as I could gauge. We led a bit up to the end of the island, but at Frawley they led by a few feet, and we were never able to regain it." "It was simply a matter of a better crew," declared both Hart and Ward. "We think we have done better than any other American crew, and though beaten byv the best crew in England, wo did everything we expected, except win." Other races resulted as follows: Sliver Goblet, final heat Balllot College, Oxford, beat the Belgians easily; time, 8:50.

It is confessed, as the Daily Chronicle remarks, that "Pennsylvania has given us some anxious moments," but nothing more Is heard of any necessi ty of altering tho rules governing the re gatta. It Is regarded as quite natural that the challenge should be repeated next year, and. the idea meets with the great est satisfaction. Leander's victory Is almost universally conceded to have been due to superior methods rather than superior strength. The Daily Graphic, however, 1'olces the opinion of the minority who think to the contrary, thinking that the American stroke should not be condemned. "Penn sylvania made the boat travel at a great rate," says the Daily Graphic, "and was beaten by one of the best crews seen at Henley for some years." Mr. Lehmann, in the Dally News, writes as follows: "After a race In which the visitors dls. played gallantry and determination worthy of the most unqualified praise, we won by more than a length. After this there can be no further discussion of styles. The English, based on long ex perience and tried in hundreds of races through a period of many years, has again secured victory. That really ends the discussion. We all felt that the Americans were the best foreign crew who ever tried conclusions with us. and it has certainly added to the pleasure of our victory to have prevailed over so plucky, determined and chivalrous a foe." Sir. Lfehmann's words fairly represent all the comment In the London newspa pers. The keenest satisfaction and good will are expressed on all sides, and the highest praise bestowed upon the sports manlike behavior of the Pennsylvania crew. "There can be no objection," says the Standard, "tothe promise of Pennsylva nia to 'hustle' tia next year.- They failed to secure" the cup, but they helped to make the first Henley regatta of the cen tury a memorable one." , The Henley correspondent of the Dally Telegraph says: "If tho victory had been the other way, complications might have ensued which would not have been wholly beneficial to Henley .crews next year, for it might have been necessary to compose, one crew so strong that the others would have suf fered. The Pennsylvanians rowed their style to perfection, but it was 6wing and elasticity which beat mechanical perfec tion. It has now been proved, we think, that the severe training which deprived the Pennsylvanians of enjoying any of the fun of the regatta is not the best, and we believe that the Americans will frankly recognize this fact. It may be taken for granted that the Bucks shore was not worth more than a quarter of a length to the Americans." The correspondent then refers to Dr. White's effort to get the winning crew in the Oxford-Cambridge boat race next March to race at Poughkeepsle in the following July, and says: "It would be very difficult to arrange this, because the crews disperse into va rious college combinations and several Henley crews would suffer thereby. Prob. ably the visit of our athletes in tho Au tumn will be all that can be done, but there Is no doubt that Dr. White's offer will receive every attention until he brings it before the proper authorities." The sporting papers testify that it was a hard race. "Proof that Leander had to row, right up to the bitter end," says the Sporting Life, "is afforded in the fact that Goldle Etherlngton-Smlth, Bun nell and Ward were 'dead at tho half distance in the Steward's cup race."

Old Boat Proved Her Superiority In an Ordinary Topsail Breeze Other Sporting News, ROTHESAY, Firth of Clyde, July 5. In a fair trial today in a smart breeze. Shamrock I beat Shamrock II by over 200 yards in a three-mile turn to wind ward. This is the older yacht's most de cisive victory over the cup challenger. In a. second trial today the cup chal lenger fared better. The course was a broad reach down the channel. Starting even, the challenger soon led by four lengths. After rounding Garroch Head, the wind lightened, though It was still fresh. The challenger gained slightly on each reach. Half way home the Sham rock II led by one and a half minutes. Then, for no apparent reason, she lowered her mainsail, thus losing the lead. Reach ing home, the Shamrock I led by half a length. Comment on the Races. LONDON, July 6. "Nothing has yet occurred," says the Field, "to change our opinion that, while in the lightest of airs the Shamrock II Is the faster, in an ordinary topsail breeze the balance is slightly in favor of the ex-challenger. Reports from the United States should encourage Sir Thomas Llpton, for appar ently there Is not much difference In peed between the new and the old cup defenders' The Field thinks Sir Thomas Lipton Justified In declining tho Kariad's chal lenge, and hopes the report is correct that after the cup races Sir Thomas Jwlll build a first-class racing cutter of the British typo to sail in home regattas. "Until the Shamrocks have been sent around the full racing course in a formal mannner,"' says the Times, "It wi.ll never be known whether the boats are really racing or experimenting; but Judging on the evidence available, the challenger's performances are distinctly disappoint ing, although undoubtedly the ex-challenger Is now faster than when she met the Columbia."

Last night the en tire Northwest was soaked by heavy rain. Excessive rains will injure crops, and farmers now hope for hot, dry weather. What Is Good Tobacco? Harper's Weekly. Color, burn, and texture aro the three things which the grower has chiefly to consider. At present the trade calls for a very light, cinnamon-brown shade, which must be uniform, not mottled! The leaf when rolled on a cigar and smoked must leave a -white or light gray hard ash, which does not flake off and fall into one's bosom or over his waist coat, and it must not "coal" 1. e., have a black, charred ring Just behind the ash on the burning cigar. This is sure to give a bad flavor and taste. The leaf must also burn freely, and when lighted hold firm for a reasonable time. It must have a soft, silvery texture, glossy sur face, and the elasticity of a piece of kid, so that It may be drawn smoothly and closely about tho cigar. Flavor is not wanted In Connecticut tobacco, for If there be much of It It is sure to be bad. Perfect burn, color, and texture can bo gotten in the Northern climate, but a delicate' and agreeable flavor has not yet been obtained. Flavor is conditioned largely by climate, the other qualities by soil and fertilizers. It Is desirable, there fore, that the leaf be neutral, without taste, as far as may be. We get the flavor wholly In the Cuban filler. To ob tain these qualities of leaf Is the prob lem of the grower a much more compli cated one than meets the ordinary farmer. Iron cooMns stoves are almost an unknown luxury among the peoplo of South America and the West Indies. They still cook in open fireplaces and by other primitive methods, THE WAGNER HOLD-UP IDENTITY OF THE OUTLAWS HAS BEEN ESTABLISHED. Exact Amount Secured Was $41,500 Report That the Robbers Were Surrounded Is Untrue. ST. PAUL, July 5. General Auditor D. L Elliott, of the Great Northern Express Co., said today that the exact amount of tho loss by the hold-up at Wagner, Mont, Monday last, was $41,500. All but $300 was currency sent from Washington to the Montana National Bank of Helena, the rest being Great Northern money in the through safe. The consignment to the Montana Bank consisted of bank notes printed in sheets of $10 and $20 bills. Only nine were signed by the president and cashier of the bank, but all could be read ily passed without their signatures. Mr. Elliott received Information late to day that the Identity of the men who robbed the express safe has been estab lished by Plnkerton men sent from St. Paul. He did not care to give out their names until satisfied that the detectives had made no mistake. "If the Plnkertons are right," said he, "these men are experienced hands and have held up trains on other roads." The report that the robbers had been surrounded, Mr. Elliott said, was not verified by information received by Great Northern officials. Their horses were chased by a posse about 50 miles south of Malta, Mont Officials of tho express company believe that the men had fresh mounts and suppose they eluded their pursuers and are now In the Little Rocky Mountains, a wild country well supplied with hiding places. The district will be guarded by a picket line and the authorities hope to capture the men when they try to get out A party of cow boys has started north from Lewlston In the Judith Basin, to Intercept the rob bers should they continue southward from the Little Rocky Mountains. Identity of the Outlaws. HAVRE, Mont. July 5. The train robbers who held up a Great Northern flyer Wednesday afternoon east of Wag ner have been recognized as the famous Curry outlaws. "Kid" Curry Is the leader, another Is named Longbole, and the third man is unknown. All use the Texas dialect A cow-puncher riding north from the Missouri River met the three bandits about 70 miles south of Malta. They asked the cow-puncher to notify the men following them that they were going south. The cow-puncher had only gone about four miles when he met Sheriff Griffith with a posse of 45 men, compris ing the best gun men in Western Mon tana. They were only about eight miles behind the robbers. The posse Is grow ing larger constantly, and their horses are being changed frequently. The cow puncher said the third man in the party had a bandage around his head. This was probably caused by one of two shots fired by Sheriff Griffith, who was on the train. Curry Gang's Record. The Curry outlaws are known to the Portland police, and the Longbole men tioned in the dispatch Is supposed to be Henry Longbaugh, one of the gang of desperadoes who stole $32,610 from a bank at WInnemucca, Nev., September 19, 1900. Detective Day prepared this record of the Currys from the police books: "Kid" Curry I3 Harvey Curry, and the names of the two other Curry boys are Louis Curry, alias Lonny Curry, and R. E. Curry, alias Bob Curry, alias Bob Lee. Bob Curry was killed by a posse. The members of the gang are born mountain eers, good horsemen and dead shots. They have operated In Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, Utah and Nevada mostly looting banks and holding up trains. In December, 1892, the Curry gang prop er began a series of robberies. Henry Longbaugh, Bill Madden and Henry Bass went to Malta, Mont, and held up the Great Northern train. Madden and Bass were caught and convicted, and were sen fenced to 10 and 14 years' imprisonment, respectively. Longbaugh escaped. On June 28, 1897, Longbaugh, under the name of Frank Jones; Kid Curry, alias Henry Logan; Tom O'Day and Walter Putnam robbed a bank at Belle Fourche, S. D. They were arrested and Longbaugh and Curry broke Jail at Deadwood, S. D. In 1898 George Parker his real name alias Tom Cassldy and Butch Cassidy, robbed Paymaster Carpenter, of the Pleas ant Valley Coal Company, at Castle Gate, Utah. Butch Cassldy was caught and sentenced to two years In the Wyoming Penitentiary, but was afterward par doned. Louis Curry was proprietor of the Club Saloon, at Harlem, Mont, until January, 1900, along with Bob Curry, and finding that they were suspected of holding up the Union Pacific train at Wilcox, Wyo., stealing $50,000 and afterward killing Sher iff Hazen, of Wyoming, who tried to ar rest them, they left Harlem, well mount ed and armed to the teeth, taking with them $3400 unsigned currency of tho First National Bank of Portland, part of tho proceeds of the robbery. In September. 1900, Butch Cassldy, Henry Longbaugh and an unknown man entered a bank at WInnemucca, Nev., held up tho cashier and four other peo ple who were there, and stole $32,640 and escaped. It Is supposed they went to Montana. jailbreax at guthrle. Ten Desperate Prisoners Got Away, but Eight Were Recaptured. GUTHRIE, O. T., July 5. Ten of the most desperate prisoners In the Federal Jail here overpowered the guprd3,at 2:30 this afternoon and escaped. The pris oners armed themselves heavily with pis tols found outside the cell doors. James Brummett and Georgo Barclay, under sen tence to be hanged for killing J. I. Pool In the Osage Nation, were the last to get away. Tho Jail door had been closed by a guard, who was seized by Brummett and thrown to the floor.

Former Duels. London Spectator. The duel, which we associate especially with France or Italy, was probably de rived from the barbarous North. Nor did It at the outset touch the point of honor. It was rather an appeal from the judg ment of a man to the judgment of an all wise providence. The ordeal by duel, In fact, was a rough-and-ready kind of Jus T Mln- sanction. If a man had been wronged by his neighbor he chal lenged him to mortal combat, he accepted the result without question, and if death did not accompany defeat the gallows nwnltpr! thi miscreant who was worsted In the fray. And as became an affair of t justice, the duel was solemnly arranged and solemnly attended. The King, who permitted it, commonly witnessed it with all his court, so that It wns often a state ly pageant. Such a duel took place In 1S19 between the Baron d'Augerre and the Lord of Fendilles. Henri II. of France, forbade It, but the Due do Bouillon grant ed the lists in his own country, and the battle took place at Sedan. The cause of quarrel 13 immaterial, and the duel 13 chiefly remarkable for the truculenco which inspired the Lord of Fendilles to prepare a gibbet and a Are for hl3 adver sary when he should have vanquished him. But pride had Its fall, the Baron do Augerre was victorious, the gibbet was never used, and we are left with a strange comment upon the manners of the fif teenth century. More remarkable still, because It lies outside the rules of chiv alry, was the fight between two tailors. These persons, two common Journeymen, wero not permitted any other weapons than wooden clubs and triangular shields, and were compelled by strict ordinance to flght to the death. As they- entered tho lists they cut an odd figure. They wero shaved and barefooted. Their nails Portland Elks. were pared and their leathern clothes were tightly sewed upon them. Before they began to fight they demanded grease, wood ashes, and sugar grease for the besmearing of their garments, wood ashes that their hands might be bettor able to hold their clubs, and sugar to allay their thirst. The fight, of course, was a piece of crude brutality; the vic tor tore out tho eyes of his victim and flung him over the Btockade for the hangman to finish on his gibbet.
