'VAP.SITT RACES TODAY.
Four Rowing Contests at Poughkeep
sle. N. T.
rOLGHKEEPSIE. N. T., June 29.
A smashing of Intercollegiate records
lor 'varsity eight-oared shells, if the
wjrtd ar.d weather are favorable, or at
the least, one of the most hotly con
tested races ever rowed by collegiate
crews In this country, Is promlsel for
tomorrow on the sp'endid course op
posit this city. For the first time In
the history of this course, now five
years old, four races will be rowed In
one day, and Jn the last race the "var
sity eights, five crews, will row side by
side for supremacy. Those who make
pretensions as experts say today, after
watching the practices, that never have
crews shown themselves so evenly
matched, and this opinion is evidently
shared by the coaches; for not one of
them tonight will make a definite
prediction that his crew will win the
race.
So far as the consensus of oriuion
among the experts is concerned, St Is
believed that the four-oared event
w hich will open the racing at 4 o'clock
tomorrow afternoon, will go to Penn
sylvania, lis crew has shown superb
form In practice, Sir. Ward, the coach,
giving them quite a gool deal of at
tention, while the coaches of Colum
bia and Cornell have seemingly neg
lected their four-oared crews and they
do not row In the same good form as
the freshmen and 'varsity. Mr. Court
ney, of Cornell, however, professes to
believe that while his four -oared crew
does not show up In the usual neat
Cornell form, they are very fast, and
this has been In a measure demonstrat
ed In their practice with the eights.
In the freshmen eights the young
sters from Wisconsin are depicted as
winners by the same experts that pick
Pennsylvania In the fours. That they
are very fast Is not to be disputed,
and they have a quick, snappy style
that usually' counts for much In the
short two-mile race, but the Pennsyl
vania freshmen are also very quick
and have given the 'varsity crew a
good hustle many times lately, showing
continuous Improvement that may be
dangerous to the success of the Wis
consin men. Cornell is usually a fea
ture In the freshmen races here, and
have by no means conceded that they
are outclassed, while the Columbia
boys, If they do not forget the Han
Ion stroke, claim that they will be in
the foremost of the fight. One thing
is always true of a freshmen race,
that It is won, because of its short
course, by hard work and not partic
ularly by endurance and skill like the
four mile, and that any one of the four
crews has a good winning chance. It
will be what the college boys call a
"scrappy" race from start to finish, and
Jt looks now as if it would be done
In fast time.
The 'varsity race is causing more
disagreements in expert circles than
any previous race In years, and this
is believed to be due to a divergence
of opinion as to the relative merits of
the strokes. It is a singular fact that
five distinct strokes are being rowed
here and will be tested in the race
tomorrow, in contradistinction to an
almost similar stroke rowed by Tale
and Harvard on Thursday. In fact,
the strokes are radically different, the
only generally applied principle being
in the case of Cornell, Pennsylvania
and Georgetown, all three of whom
agree upon the strong use of the leg
to finish out th stroke after the back
of the man is perpendicular In the
boat. There, however, comes at once
a difference, for Georgetown completes
the stroke with the shoulders, Cornell
with the arms, and Pennsylvania with
both arms and a longer slide. Co
lumbia uses the shoulders to a large
degree all through the stroke, while the
great difference in the Wisconsin stroke
from the others is the sharp, quick
catch and the quick recovery. George
town will row the fastest stroke on the
liver, starting at 10, dropping down to
38 and gttting back again to 41 and 42.
It is a hustle, but it seems to make
the boat go with a good rate.
Here Is a brief description of the
strokes used, given to the Associated
Press by the various coaches.
11 r. Courtney for Cornell From the
tiefrinning of the stroke the backs of
the men are kept straight, as are also
the arms, until the body has its full
eiving. 'Then the hands are brought
quickly in to the body, the elbows be
ing kept low and close to the sides, and
instead of putting the oar In the -yrfr
at a right angle like the Pennsylvania
crew, it goes in af an an-.t.ttJut

on the Lower Columbia.
liberate, to prevent checking of the
boat
Mr. Hanlon, for Columbia I have en
deavored to get the crews to begin the
stroke with a quick catch pulled
through hard to the finish and not
Jerked out The body swing and the
leg drive are simultaneous and not
separated like Mr. Courtney's. When
the slide limit is reached the body
should be erect and the stroke then
carried out to the finish by a tremen
dous pull with the shoulders, the body
being firmly braced at the groins. The
recovery is slow so aa not to Jerk the
boat, thus producing a check. The
bodies are carried quickly forward un
til ready for the sharp catch again.
Mr. O'Dea, for Wisconsin We have
striven to obtain a long reach with
the back nearly as straight as possi
ble and the arms straight and rigid.
The power Is applied by swinging the
shoulders on the oar, the body being
brought to an upright position before
the leg drive Is u-ed. Then the legs
are driven steadily on the stretchers, no
decided kick being given, but just
strong enough to keep the seat well
under control. When the hands reach
jhe knees, the arms begin to bend and
the oar is swept home with a steady
pressure. This completes the pull, the
hands are dropped low enough to clear
the water well. The blades are then
shot out at an even pace, the body
following sharply. The recovery grad
ually tones down until it ends softly
Just before the new catch.
Mr. Zaphoo, for Georgetown I can
tell you my cardinal principles very
briefly. It is a full reach which In the
case of my crew with their superior
height. Is long, a very quick catch and
a full leg drive, giving all the leg
power possible In conjunction with the
shoulders. The recovery Is quick and
the stroke rowed Is high.
Mr. Ward, for Pennsylvania The
stroke depends largely on the leg
drive, even more so than on the catch,
the drive of the leg on the finish of
the stroke being strong enough to give
the boat such tremendous Impetus that
there can be a sharp recovery with
out any check resulting to the boat.
The reach is as long as possible, but
the grip on the water Is slower than
that of most of the other crews.
The first race will be the four-oared
event to be rowed over the two-mile
course, beginning at the start of the
regular course and finishing at the two
mile point. This race Is scheduled for
4 o'clock, and the others will be row
ed as soon after as the referees and
judges tan be placed. The freshmen
race follows the four-oared event, and
Is to take place over the same two
mile course. The 'varsity race is over
the four-mile course, and It Is ex
pected will take place about 6 o'clock,
a fine time of the day for rowing.
The Poughkeepsie course of four
miles runs along the west bank of the
Hudson, beginning at a point - three
miles above the Poughkeepsie bridge
and finishing a mile below. It is as
straight as a tightly-drawn rope, and
is not much affected by the current of
the river.
The course holds the world's record
for four miles, it having been estab
lished by Cornell In l&M, when the
Ithacans rowed the four miles In IS
minutes and 23 seconds.
THRILLING EXPERIENCE.
Sixty-five American Cattlemen Wreckel
on a British Mule Transport.
NEW YORK, June 29. Twenty-three
young men from St. Louis, who had a
longing to see the world, arrived here
on the steamer Prince Wllhelm V, from
Port Au Prince, Haytl, with nothing
left but the ragged clothes they wore
and an intense yearning to get back to
their native city and stay there. They
shipped as cattleman on the British
transport Corinthla, which left New Or
leans May 11, with a load of mules for
the British army In South Africa, and
went ashore and was wrecked four days
later on Point Gravis, Hayti.
"When a fine military-looking man
came to St. Louis," said Charles W.
Pratt, one bf the returned wanderers,
"and said he was an agent of the Brit
ish army looking for young men who
would take a fine sea voyage to Cape
Town and return and et paid for it to
boot, the boys In my section fairly fell
over each other to get the places.
There were 165 applicants ahead of me,
but I was picked out with C4 others
who were chosen. The military man
pictured tte trip as a sort of excur
sion.! 'All e would have to do, he said,
.vulii yo tv feed a few mules twice a
day n the vay over. He would pay
a t.5 Yoy the ;rip, and then he told us
of ibe b-auL-fni voyage with sea Dlrds
u'flying end porpoises a'jumplng, and
alt tk:tf ort of thing,
'fWt went fo Kh Orleans and ship
ped on the Corinthia, where we found
a contract which said nothing about the
return trip. The cAptatn hinted, how
ever, that that would be all right, any
way; he would see to It that we got
back. On May 11 the Corinthla, Cap
tain Campbell, stilled With 1460 mules
on board. On the 15th we ran into the
coast of Haytl."
Pratt told of the efforts to save the
ship, and continued:
"When they gave us up they had
listed us over to 45 degrees. Nob.dy
could walk on deck except with life
lines, and the mules were tumbled
down In heap. We had to sleep on
the slanting deck after tying ourselvt
so we would not slip down into the
scuppers. The mules were dying by
doiens, and the stench was awful. The
sailors refused to work, and the cat
tlemen had to go down among the
terrified anlnmts and haul out the dead
ones.
"In two days we threw overboard
200 dead mules. The vessel returned
on the STth. but the captain refun d to
take us off, as he thought the horrible
stench might have bred yellow fever
germs. We finally got natives to come
out In boats and we began throwing the
livestock overboard, which they would
guide to the shore. We finished the Job
on the 29th, after having lost W0 mules
by drowning. We cattlemen were then
sent ashore, but our filthy condition
from handling dead mules made the
authorities herd us out In an open
space surrounded by soldiers for a
time, as it was thought we must sure
ly breed yellow fever. On the 31st the
63 of us were put Into three small sloops
and sent to Aux Cayes. Then we tre
herded in a vacant house and slept on
the bare floor, which was covered with
vermin."
The men complain that the Drlilsh
and American consuls neglects them,
but finally the latter got them aver
age passage to the United States.
s KEMPFF RECALLED.
His Services Have Been Very Vnsatls.
factory to the Navy Department.
NEW YORK. June M.-A special to
the Tribune from Washington says:
Admiral Rem?y is expected to relieve
Admiral Kempff next Sunday and send
him to Nagasaki or Che Foa. Official
dissatisfaction with Admiral Kempff
has been displayed frankly by all the
authorities here.
The necessity for Admiral Kempff's
speedy detachment, It is said at the
navy department has been apparent
ever Ince It was learned that Flag
Captain McCalla had gone to the front
with VIce-Admlral Seymour's column,
for It was well known to officials that
without McCalU's constant advice the
American senior naval officer could not
be depended upon to meet grave emer
gencies involving discretion of a high
order. Kempff has always' been re
garded as one of the finest sailor men In
the service and as good a fighter as
ever commanded a ship, but he was
never proficient In diplomatic matters
and was declared to be unsufted to
represent the United States at a great
gathering of the great naval powers on
the most Important duty that has fal
len to any officer since the war with
Spain,
The Idea that Kempff was sent to
Asia on account of special fitness was
demolished at the time he was sent.
His orders wers simply the result of
an effort of the navy department to in
duce him to o on .he retired list vol
untarily, and make a vacancy for pro
motions all along the line. Admiral
Remey was chosen for senior In com
mand in Asia on account of his special
fl triers.
After Admiral P.emey, who was No.
5 on the admiral's list, was ordered to
Asia last March, Admiral McCormack,
No. 18 on the same list, was ordered as
second in command. He promptly re
tired as he was expected to do. He
rose a grade by retiring and also avoid
ed what Is real a captain's duty, the
second In command of a fleet having no
independence of action and therefore
being humiliated below his actual in-
; dependent flag ofllcjr's rank.
Then Rear-Admirals Day (No. 17)
and Cotton (No. 20) were similarly re
tired to avoid duty as second in com
mand. Then the came orders were giv
en to Kempff, who was at the time In
possession of the exceedingly desirable
billet of commandant at Mare Island,
where he was awaiting retirement. He
was No. 15 on the list and would pre
sumably decline an appointment that
his juniors had lust refused, but he
astonished the department by accepting
with alacrity and offering to sail the
next day. The department bad to make
the? best of the mattar and therefore put
McCalla, one of the most brilliant men
In the navy, In command of Kempff's
flagship, to equalize any deficiencies
that might develop. Until McCalla left
his post to mar:h to the relief of the
legations all was plain sailing, but
since that time exasperation in Wash
ington over Kempff's reports had stead
ily grown, each new dispatch making
it more acute. . v
The failure to participate with the
other admirals in taking the Taku forts
requires a clear explanation from Ad
miral Kempff as soon as the present
crisis permits a court of inquiry. Not
one of the dispatches sent by the ad
miral in the last two weeks Is clear In
essentials. Superfluous words are com
mon and In several Instances single
words have been omitted which would
have been of great value to the gov
ernment. '
I.ant Sunday Admiral Remey was or
dered to go to Nagasaki and coal the
Brooklyn and be ready to relieve
Kempff. Monday he was ordered to
proceed Immediately to Taku and as
sume command at once. The Brooklyn
left Manila on Tuesday and will reach
Taku Sunday and from that flay the
authorities will breathe easier.
DISPATCH RECEIVED
FROM SEYMOUR
(Continued from First PiO
planned by the 1'rltUh admiral. Lord
Salisbury will now fall back, without
doubt, upon the European concert, and
the Initiative will be taken by Russia.
The American government, unlike
the European powers, kivnia to know
It own mind, and this Is a great advantage.-
It provided a small contingent for
Seymour's column, and another on
was under fire with the Russians before
Tien Tsin was relieved, but each was
sent Into China under definite Instruc
tions, and there was no enxaitenieut
to do anything more than co-iperte
with other forces In the protection of
life and the property of the foreigners.
The American activity will end when
Its legation la safe and the lives an J
property of Americans In China are
protected. There will be no Interven
tion in Chinese political affair, nor
any participation In the partition of the
empire. The European concert will be
left to settle the question relating to
the deposition of the empress, and safe
guards against the dissolution of the
empire.
The Japanese may be. said to have
saved tjie situation, and also to have
clouded it with uncertainty. They have
saved It by dispatching a large force
of soldiers to China, and by preparing
to mobilise 20.000 troops. They have
Imperiled It by a military occupation
which Is likely to be permanent, or to
lust until Russia Is ready to agree to
a scheme of participation by which
Japan will profit largely. ,
There are many rumors of massacres
of Christian converts and foreign mer
chants, but these simply prove that
there Is a state bf childish panic In the
seaboard towns, and that every wild
story is believed by Itching ears. The
despatches received by mercantile
houses here from Shanghai are reas
suring. The gravity of the situation
has evidently been exaggerated In the
last fortnight.
TRADE IN THE PHILIPPINES.
British Consul at Manila Reports Re.
. newed Activity.
WASHINGTON, June J9.-Th state
department has received from United
States Consul Halstead at Birmingham,
England, an abstract of the annual re
port of the British consul at Manila
concerning the trade and conditions In
the Philippine Islands.
"The collapse of the Insurrection
lat November." the British consul
said, "and the opening of the ports
since June 1 have restored conHJence,
and great, activity in commercial quar
ters has ensued. Law and order are
being restored, as rapidly as possible,
but the Immense size of the country
renders It a difficult task. The natives,
I, believe, would willingly return to
their agricultural pursuits, but the In
fluence of their leaders appears suffi
ciently strong to keep them from sur
rendering. "The two well-known leading Indus
trie of Manila, hemp and tobacco, will,
I fear, suffer severely for some time
from the lute Insurrection. The natur
al indolence of the Filipinos will make
It almost Impossible to do work with
out the Chinese, and the Chinese labor
question Is one of great Importance In
the Islands. There is a strong influ
ence against the Celestials, for by their
industrious habits they gradually ob
tain monopolies In all retail trade, but
on the other hand, the Filipinos them
selves have no energy and no commer
cial Instinct."

Massachusetts, arrived here today.
Williams talked about ex-Senator Hill

approval of that gentleman as a vice

"What Is Hill coming here for?" he
asked, and then answered the query
by saying, "for the sole and avowed
