Be fore the largest crowd that over wit nessed a race on the Thames river the Yale crew this evening, rowing on an average of four strokes to tho mln utO' less than Harvard, held the big Cambridge eight even until the last half mile of the four-mile course. Then the blue let out Its speed and von the magnificent contest by a scant boat length. Never once in the whole four miles did the long, graceful shells cea3s to lap each other. Thousands of persons crowd ed tho observation trains and every kind of iloating craft, and these as well a3 tho thousands who lined the shore sent cheer upon cheer to the old rival3 as they got out of ono of tho grandest race3 in the history of boating. Yale's time for the four miles was 21 minutes 10 seconds, Harvard's time 21 minutes 13 seconds. The race was accompanied by one dis agreeable incident. This was the ar rest of E. H. Harriman, railroad mag nate, by Lieutenant Billard, Presi dent Roosevelt's naval aide. Lieu tenant Billard, who was in charge of revenuo cutter3, had warned every boat owner not to follow the race. The big 'varsity struggle had scarcely been started, when Harriman, in a powerful motor boat, started to fol low the race. Billard and Chairman Schwoppe, who were aboard the regatta com mittee boat, the Arrow, repeatedly warned Harriman to stop his engines and get off tho course. Harriman not only paid no attention to them, but took his position right alongside the referee's boat and held It. Off the navy yard, Billard signalled for tho launch and blew the revenue cut ter's whistle, which finally caused Harriman to look around. You are under arrest, sir!" shout ed Billard. "You will give yourself up to this man, who will take you aboard the Gresham to await my or ders." Then it was discovered that the man in the motor boat was Harri man. Chairman Schweppe, of the Regatta Committee, was very angry and he shouted to Harriman in terms which tho latter could not mistake. The millionaire leveled his forefinger at Schweppe and yelled back, "Young man, I will seo you later." Schwop pe's friend3 aboard tho Arrow gave Harriman tho gentle laugh. Harriman saw no more of tho race, but was detained as any ordinary prisoner aboard the Gresham until after tho race was over, when Lieu tenant Billard went aboard the Gresham and released him, but or dered his boat tied up at the navy yard. Tho incldont may cost Harri man a fine of $500. This was tho nenalty imposed upon a yacht owner at last year's race for transgressing tho rule3 governing tho course.

About two weeks olnco a gentle man arlved in the city, remaining several days. Whllo here ho met a well known resident of tho city with whom ho was acquainted. He, in formed this gentlonian In tho course of tholr conversation that ho was in the employ of the Northwestern rail road which is now headod for Idaho, the present terminus of the road be ing Lander, Wyoming, from which place wostward, grading is now in progress. 'Ho stated tho routo of the railroad through Idaho had been selected, and Is about as follows: That tho road would onter Idaho near tho southern line of the Yellow Btne Park, will then diverge north- west until It strikes the watershed of the Salmon river, which It will fol low down to the neighborhood of Pollock, whero it strikes the Little Ralmnn -tirTilnli If frilltwa mi untf 1 If .

Tho Haywood trial at Bolso approaches nearer the jury dally, and now the defense b fighting every Inch of tho way In refutation of Orchard'3 testimony. Opening yesterday Hawlcy contended the State had directly shown the ex istence of a conspiracy by Orchard and by doing so had laid tho founda tion for and made uso of all tho evi dence offered on the subject. He said the defense was trying to show a counter conspiracy by proving various isolated instances and citing general conditions, none of which were con ected with the case and for which no proper foundation can bo laid. In the ruling, the court accepted In part tho contention of tho prosecution and limited the proof of tho dcfeii30 along this lino to tho events In Colo rado and Coour d'Alencs with tho ca3e as now established. Ed. Boycc was the Important wit ness of the day and his testimony i was chiefly devoted to tho hl3tory, purposes and work' of tho Western Federation. Ho denied tho exist ence of an Inner circle or that there aver had been a conspiracy In thu gaTTitl6nt;o'-tlnam)ittrsttlSi The chief lmportace of Boyco's cross examination wa3 the production of a 3peech mado by him In tho conven tion of tho Federation held In Salt Lako In 1S98, in which ho said every union should havo a rlflo club, every member a rifle, so that the Federation could march 25,000 armed men In tho ranks of labor. Boyco could not agree with tho accur acy of this, but said tho sentiment was correct, and delcared with spirit that when ho spoke th0 words im puted to him ho had in mind tho mis conduct of tho Stato troops in Colo rado, and tho use of tho troops clao- whero against tho Federation, and the constitutional right of all citizens to bear arms, which was as much the right of a minor a3 any, GASCO SAILS.
