Rh 'p's bout, and close to the western
ph-ro of the river, came the boat from
the British bark Holt Hill, one of tho
avrlt" of the race. One length behind
the boat of the Holt Hill came the boat
frm the British bark Hampton, the crew
whch finished third, in spite of the fact
zhzi they remained on. mid-stream and
rowed the prettiest race of any of the
trews in the contest. The other con
testing crews were scattered along from
Jie tp 50 lengths behind, some of them
r iuiig .--rrowful finish. The crew of
the Italian ship Celeste, winnors of the
Thanksgiving day race, finished fourth,
after putting up a great race.
Nine boats were entered, and lined up
for the start at 2:45 o'clock opposite the
Oceanic dock. Tho steamer Mascot,
with Judges and guests aboard left down
stream from the Taylor-street dock at
o clor.k. Hundreds of people crowded
lh" docks along the course, the Steel
bridge, tho dredge Chinook and the sever
al ships. All craft was glowing with
evergreens and flags and the waterfront
looked like a city street on a gala day.
The contesting boats were numbered
and placed at the starting rope from the
western shore outward, as follows: First.
"eleste; second, Martha Rouxf' third,
Glaucus; fourth, Villa de Mulhouse; fifth,
Carl; sixth, Hampton; seven, Dumfries

At 2 45 o'clock the starter's pistol cracked

Aided y Wind and Current.
The Dumfriesshire Immediately sur
prised the crowd" by pulling directly across
the stream to a position near the cast
rhorc. Once in this position, whore wind
and current were hot so strong, they
pulled steadily and with a beautiful
stroke straight for the goal. The cltw
of the Celeste hugged the east shoro and
rushed in the lead at the start, closely
followed by tho Holt Hill and the Hamp
ton. The Glaucus made a good showing
rt first, but tho crew lost the stroke be
fore 24)0 yards had ben passed, and in
s ttexnptlng to regain it lost valuable
rpa-e.
When tv quarter of the distance had
been reached the Dumfriesshire on the
-at side and the Holt Hill on the west
wore abreast. Close ."behind tho Holt
HU1 came the Celeste and In mid-stream,
slightly behind the Celeste, the Hamp
tor At the half the Dumfriesshire and the
"Io"t Hill were still abreast. The Hamp
ton had gained half a length on the Ce
lest. the Carl was creeping up. and the
ilaucus was undergoing a sudden spurt.
Before three-quarters was reached it be
came apparent that the face was between
the Dumfriesshire and the Holt Hill, with
n possibility of the Hampton creeping in
v." a place. The Celeste had lost three
lengths and appeared to be working under
difficulties. The Glaucus was losing
ground.
One hundred yards from the finish the
race between the Holt Hill and the Dum
friesshire was a protty one. The crowds
along the shores wore cheering, and the
lowers were doing their bast. The boat
from the Hampton was still -pulling a
pretty stroke, urged on by the cries of
the crowd. The Celeste had nelthor
gained or lost ground, and remained In
this position to tho finish.
Officials Watch the Race.
At this point thp steamer Fox. bearing
the referee and the Judge, Messrs. Stowell
and "Ludors. of the Portland Rowing Club,
and the steamer Mascot, with the special
party aboard, steamed ahead to bo in
close at the flnislu At tills Juncture It
was a question with all watching the race
whether tho Holt Hill or the Dumfries
shire would win. The Hampton was
creeping up, and It was to bo seen that
the first three posltlonswere to be taken
by British boats. Finally the referee's
pistol cracked, the officials pointed to the
boat of tho Dumfriesshire, arid the race
was declared won. Half a length behind
dashed the Holt Hill, and three lengths
"hehind the Holt Hill the Hampton. The
time for the Dumfriesshire was 23:32; of
the Holt Hill, 23:34. and of the Hampton,

an end. The race, from every stand
point, was a success. The boats got oft
well together, all had a fair ohance to

HIGH PAY FOR OVERALL.
Young Pitcher's Demand-Accepted by
Cincinnati Management. :..
SAN FRANCISCO. Dec 26. (Special.)
Mike Fisher today declared that he
was the most surprised person in-California,
for he had received news that
Cincinnati had acceptod the conditions
named by Overall, and which both
Fisher and Ovorall believed to be of
such a nature- that the Eastern' club
would reject them. According to Fish
er, Overall will receive $700 per month
from tho Cincinnati club.
Ovic was anxious to romain on tho
Coast, and so he assured Fisher that ho
would make it impossible for Nod Han
Ion, of Cincinnati, to draft Mm. On
this score, jubilant Mike gaveT out the
report that Overall was his. He lias
now received word from the young col
legian that Cincinnati has called his
game, and wants him at his own prjee.
Mike says that the figure Overall will
eommand is the greatest ever paid to a
pitcher with as little professional ex
perience as the college lad has had.

Dr. Jordan says that he was recently

Icnowlcdgc is unimpeachable that the Tsar
Nicholas has not been of sound mind
since he was struck on the head in the
memorable riot at Otsu, Japan, some years
ago before he ascended to the throne of
all the Russias. This statement was made
in tho course of an interview in Dr, Jor
dan's room at the Portland late yesterday
afternoon, just after the distinguished
educator had returned from the football
game.
"Russian stands no show against Japan
In the present war, and will ultimately
be driven out of Manchuria. The Russian
overnment Is In tho hands of an irre
sponsible gang of hereditary grafters, and
is governed by an Irresponsible and insane
Emperor. Nicholas has not been a sane
man since the affair at Otsu a number
of years ago, when he was still Czare
vitch. The incident occasioned much ex
citement at the time, and the Japanese
so greatly deplored the occurrence that
a number of attempts were made to
change the name of Otsu, but It was
never done. Governed as she is, Russia
cannot hope to succeed against a nation
like Japan. The result of the war, as I
see it now, will be the humiliation of the
Bear and tho letting of light Into the
Russian government. "Russia is not a
world power and cannot hopo to becomd
such under tho present regime, out one
result of the present war may be a transi
tion such as occurred in England under
William III. out of which a constitutional
government may come.
"I am quite familiar with Japan, and
her people. She was in a splendid
state of preparedness when the war
came, and tho national spirit Is so
strong that every man and boy in the
empire Is anxious to slnk all his In
dividuality and to sacrifice "himself for
his country. This gives her an ad
mirable soldiery, and is providing
abundant resources for continuing hos
tilities. "No nation in . the world Is bo per

those of feudalism, and that combina

Russia, where there is practically no

conditions are so unspeakably rotten.

to Russia before ever the war began.
aid my first judgment seems better

Dr. Jordan says that the election
of Roosevelt which name, by the way,
he pronounces correctl y. Rose-veil? by
such a tromendous majority betokens
the fact that the American people like
a man with color and independence. In
fact, he goes so far as to say that the.

EFFECT OF NEW COURT RULES
Practice Fostered by the Attorneys
Whereby Many. Convicted In the
Lower Co'urts" Evaded Justice
Comest-to End. . ;
The new rule adonted bv tho Judsres of
the State Circuit Court requiring all crim
inal cas3 to be placed on the trial docket
and called every Monday to be set for
trial, does not meet with the approval of
some attorneys. The reason for this Is
that. the new rule will force the trial of
cases appealed from the Mtmlclnal and
Justices' Courts, which in the past have
been burled away in the vaults and never
tried at all. By the old method a man
conyicted In the Municipal Court and sen-

and the defendant would thus escape pun-
lsnment.
Many city cases, as well as state cases.
have been appealed and finally disposed
of in this way. After considerable time
has elapsed, they can no longer be set
down for trial, and even if a trial were
possible at a late day, the witnesses
probably could not be found, and a con
viction, therefore, could not be had.
Evasions by Appeal.
Saloonkeepers convicted In the Muni
cipal Court of keeping open after hours
or other violations of the saloon or
dinance have made a practice of evading
the fine by an appeal. Disorderly women
nave won out by the same means, and
otners convicted of misdemeanors. The
appealed state cases aro of a minor char
acter assault and batten and lesser
crimes. It is the duty of tho Citr Attor
ney to try the appealed city criminal
cases, and of the District Attorney to at
tend to the stato cases appealed."
The practice of defeating justice by ap
pealing from tho lower courts to the State
Circuit Court is not new. It has been
common Indulged in by attorneys for
20 years or moro past, and winked at by
city and district attorneys.
Bad for Attorneys.
The new rule of the Judges requiring
all cases to be placed on the trial docket
and set for trial Is naturally opposed by
attorneys who have been winning cases
by the appeal process. If they are forced
to go to trial In tho upper court. It means
additional -work to earn their fees, and
also that convictions of their clients may
do the nnai outcome.
By having all cases on the trial docket.
they will constantly be before the eye of
the presiding Judge of the State Circuit
Court, and when the trial docket Is called
on Monday of each week, the Judge will
be In a position to ask when each case Is
to be tried, and If it is not ready for trial.
why not.
The trial of such cases will make more
work for the Judges and attorneys, but
in the end will no doubt have a contrary
effect- of lessening the number of ap
pealed cases greatly.
To Facilitate Docketing.
The Judges of the State Circuit Court
have also adopted a rule requiring tne
clerk of the Circuit Court to submit to
the presiding Judge at the beginning of
each month a list of all cases where per
sons have been held to answer in the
lower courts to the higher court. By
checking the list up with the' not true
bills or indictments returned by either
the District Attorney or a grand jury.
the court can toll what has become of tho
cases.
A rule has also been adopted requiring
the Sheriff to make monthly reports con
cerning the . prisoners In the County Jail,

MAY DROP MULTNOMAH.
Washington Wants Oregon to Play
Thanksgiving Day Game.
From Seattle comes the information,
carelessly dropped, that Oregon has
evinced a willingness to open up negotia
tions with the University of Washington
for an annual Thanksgiving day football
game. It came out as if It might havo
been a slip, sandwiched in between a lot
of talk, about the anxiety of the Califor
nia universities to take the date. TJ. was
Intimated that the Multnomah Club and
the University of .Oregon had been on bad
terms for a long time, and that Oregon
would gladly break off with Multnomah.
There Is nothing new In 'the situation.
Oregon has wanted to break with Multno
mah for several years, but each season
has had a hunch that It is going to have
a streak of luck and win out In that
game. It did not miss It so very far this
year. Dick Smith had a hunch that they
were stronger than any team which has
come from Eugene for the Thanksgiving
day game in several years. But even that
team was licked, and now. If the Seattle
story Is to be accredited. It has its an
nual blue spell in which It believes that
there Is no use playing Multnomah again.
Oregon and Multnomah are not on bad
terms. They were never on better terms
than at the present time. But Oregon
feels that It has no chance with the
heavy clubmen, and wishes, naturally, for
a team of Its own size for the best day of
the year. In Washington. In spite of the
bombastic talks from that Institution
since It met a "road" eleven from Berk
eley, Oregon had a team this year which
"it "could handle as It "pleased. But Wash
ington Js generally about as good as Ore-

Chamber of Commerce
gon, and should be so. . A Thanksgiving
day game between the two. would be a
good match.
There Is not much chance, however, of
the Oregon manager being eb hoodwinked
by the Washington manager as to believe
that he can find a better game, as far as
gate receipts go. than the annual game
with Multnomah. To get a big crowd for
the Multnomah game, moreover, it must
be played on Thanksgiving day. No other
unto will do, and there Is really little
doubt that by the time It comes for the
signing up of contracts fOr games next
year that Multnomah will have Its regular
old Thanksgiving day game with Oregon,
and Washington will have to see If it can
not whistle up some sort of team from
California for that date which it will
hardly be able to do.
MURPHY IS IN AGAIN.
Battling" Nelson and His Manager
Swear Friendship Over Supper.
SAN FRANCISCO. Dec. 26. tSpecUil.)
-"Battling" Nelson and Teddy Murphy
have kissed and made up. Tod has
given Nelson a long story about taking"
the money only to keep Nelscr from
the temptations of a big city.
The boy-manager got his youthful
charge under his arm last night and
bought him a Christmas dinner. There
was wine and good tbllowship, and by
morning Nelson was convinced that
Murphy is his friend. So they have
igreed to forget the little episode of .
Ted's elopement with the $9000 draft !
and do business as before. Nelson has i
puzzled his friends hore once more by I
his action.
Blow on Jaw Finishes Canole.
PORTLAND. Me.. Dec. 26. Willie
Lewis, of New York, defeated Martin
Canole, of Fall River, in the ninth
round of a scheduled 12-round bout at
the Auditorium tonight.
The lighting was very fast until the
ninth, when Lewis caught his oppon
ent on the point of the jaw. and Can
ole staggored around the rirtg like a
drunken man. with Lewis right after
him. Tho referee stopped the right and
gave Lewis the decision.
LANGUAGE OF BEGGARS.
Nicknames Used by Professional Pan
handlers In Bowery.
(Everybody's.)
In describing their possessions and their
environment, professional beggars use
nicknames. Thus a cent Is known as an
"Indian." Other coins are known as
"white money." A detective Is a "bull"
and a policeman Is a "bull In harness."
A thief Is a "gun" and a pickpocket Is a
"dip." A gold watch Is a "red kettle."
Stamps Jtre known as "stickers." Money
Is "cush." A horse-car Is a "rattler.'
When a beggar Is arrested he Is said to
"fall." The workhouse Is known as the
"band-house." The penitentiary Is known
aa the "big house." A revolver is a
"rod." A beggar who gives out cards
on which are printed appealing blt3 of
rhyme Is known as a "throw out." One
who sits cross-legged on the walk Is
known as a "fiopper." One who holds you
up on the sidewalk is known aa a "strong
arm." So It runs on with so many ex
pressions covering so many figures of
speech that one not familiar with their
argot might listen to their talk or hours
without catching the real meaning of the
conversation.
The Egyptian Fad. -
Atchison Globe.
" Some time ago Daughter fixed up an In
dian corner, and the Indian craze . stalked
through the entire house. Later It was
the Dutch craze, and queer figures in
wooden shoes began to appear on every
thing from sofa cushions to plates. Now
Daughter has struck a new gait; It Is
the Egyptian fad. This Is the worst of
all. The Indian and the Dutch girl were
preferable to the figure built like a tri
angle. The Denver & Rio Grande scenery Is
even more beautiful la Winter than Sum
mer. Travel East via that line and spend
a day In Salt Lake City.
