OXFORD WINS 4GAIN
The Greatest Race Erer Seen in Eng
land. ALL PREVIOUS TIME SURPASSED
Was a Great Struggle From Start to
Finish Both Crews in Ex
cellent Trim.
London, March 22. Today for the
fiftieth time the crews of Oxford and
Cambridge sat in their shells on the
Thames and rowed for dear life, and Ox--ford
won her 27th victory. The course was
the historic stretch between Putney and
Mortlake, four and and a quarter miles.
Each side of the river was lined with
tugs, barges, wherries and all manner of
craft, accomodating sightseers. Ashore
and afloat was a gay show of bunting.
Along the course balconies were filled
with gaily dressed ladies. The etart
took place from Stone Road bridge at
Putney. Cambridge won the toss and
chose the Surrey aide. The tide was
running strongly with a slight wind.
All being in readiness the official starter
fired a pistol, and amid the shouts of
admirers and the hooting and screaming
of steam whistles and sirens, the crews
shot upstream. Yells of excitement
and shouts of encouragement to both
crews arose along the course as the boats
came in sight, and as they passed craft
of every kind to be seen on the Thames
closed in behind and crowded after. At
Clasper's boathouse Cambridge was
leading by three feet. In the last half
of the race Oxford forged ahead. At the
three-quarters point Oxford was six feet
in advance, and led by a yard at Chis
wick Eyot, about 2 miles from the
start. They maintained the lead to the
end, and won by 2 J lengths. The race
was of added interest this year by reason
of the prospective appearance of these
famous crews in America against Har
vard or Yale. So a comparison of the
time made at home and abroad becomes
a matter of importance. In the four
mile race, Harvard and Yale have never
equalled the time made by Oxford last
year. In 1888 the distance was covered
in 20:10.
Oxford's time was 18 :47. The time of
the race is the best ever made over the
course. The best previous time was
that of Oxford last year, 19 minutes 21
seconds.
The Blaine Family.
Washington, March 22. The Blaine
family will remove in the spring from
the historic old bouse on Lafayette
Square. Mrs. Blaine returned here a
few days ago from New York, and, al
though the family gives no intimation to
tbe outside world as to the object of
that trip, it is surmised to have been in
connection with the offer recently made
by Mrs. TJ. S. Grant to purchase the
property. Tb family will leave Wash
ington early in May and go abroad for a
year's residence. The Bar Harbor
place will be leased. Mrs. Blaine's plan
is to go direct to London and take a
house in the suburbs. She will be ac
companied by Miss Hattie Blaine, J.
G. Blaine, jr., and the Coppinger boys.
It is possible that Mrs. Emmons Blaine
may join them. The greater portion of
the year's absence from this country
will be spent in London.

tion of Mexico's supply of live and

Kansas City. An effort is to be made
to encourage the production of hogs in
this country.
Missouri Pacific.
New York, March 22. The annual
election of officers of the Missouri
Pacific was held at noon. The follow
ing were elected : President, S. H. H.

Oregon's Delegation of Seekers.
Washington, March 22. The ex
pected arrival of Dan Murphy and other
anxious aspirants for office from Oregon,
today, created something of a flurry
among the colony in this city. Murphy
wants to be district attorney. Emanuel
Myers wants to succeed Jim Lotan.
With the exception of Robert A. Miller,
of Jacksonville, who aspires to succeed
Minister Thompson at Constantinople,
the Oregon delegation is not reaching
out very much for large positions, con
fining its attentions mostly to places in
Oregon and Alaska. Senator Dolph
called today on the president and intro
duced W. T. Muir. A big fight is being
made for appraiser of Portland, as the
present incumbent has served four years.
Tony Noltner has the inside track.
Samuel Adair, of Astoria, and Henry
Blackman, of Heppner, both filed ap
plications in the treasury department
today, one for collector of Portland, and
the other for collector of internal revenue.
California's Floods.
Stockton, Cal., March 22. The water
fell about three feet during the night,
and continues falling this morning. The
sun is shining brightly, and one can
walk through town on the sidewalk
without getting his feet wet. There are
a great many breaks in the levee in
Rough and Ready and Roberts' islands.
The loss ia very heavy. All the streams
are falling, and no more trouble is an
ticipated. Business is resumed, and
everything is moving along in the usual
way.
I Want to Extend Their Trade.
City of Mexico, March 22. President
Diaz is very anxious to establish closer
trade relations between Mexico and
Central and South American countries.
To this end he has sent an authorized
commissioner to those countries to bring
the matter before those governments.

THE DALLES MARKETS.
Thursday, March 23. The movement
in trade has been quiet during the past
week. Prices in general have been firm
and steady. The greater amount of
business has been confined to groceries
and provisions.
The dry goods dealers complain of dull
times, and that trade in their line, is
very slack and unsatisfactory.
The produce market is getting short
of supply, and with the increasing de
mand for all kinds of garden products,
prices are higher. Cabbage may be quoted
at 2 cents per lb. and the parsnip and
turnip supply is nearly exhausted and are
dearer. Potatoes and onions are in good
stock and maintain their usual quota
tions. In seed potatoes, such as Early
Rose, Goodrich and all the early varie
ties, there is said to be a scarcity, and
prices for them are said to be at a sharp
advance over ordinary grades.
Eggs are scarcer and sellers are offered
15 to 16 cents per dozen in. trade.
Butter is more plentiful and fresh roll
is quoted at 35 to 50 cents per roll.
Poultry is scarce and buyers offer $4
to $5 per dozen.
Green apples are very scarce and $1.75
to $2.00 per box is offered for common to
choice.
Feed, grain and hay have not changed
in quotations, and the supply exceeds
the demand.
The wool outlook for 1893 is for a lar
ger clip, and prices will not vary much
from those of last year. Those putting
their wool on the market earliest will
probably get top prices, as the late wool
market seldom is satisfactory.
The financial condition of the market
is somewhat close but undoubtedly the
next sixty days will reveal an easy tone
in all branches. The cereal condition
remains steady at a minimum. The
following from the Telegram made up
from the agricultural department re
ports will be read with interest.
WORLD'S WHEAT CROP.
The last monthly report from the de
partment of agriculture announces that
at present prospects indicate a wheat
crop for 1893 of 2,347,968,035 bushels.
This is an immense figure, and so many
bushels could only be counted in aggre
gate. If the estimate finally comes
within 100,000,000 of this it will be con
sidered a fair guess.
The department has a system by
which it can tell very nearly what each
country can produce. By this table the
calculation is made. Thus it is as re
liable as any forecast can be. Conditions
of seasons may yet change this total by
decreasing or increasing it materially.
Wheat is the most important grain raised
because it is the chief food staple. When
the population of the world is consid
ered, these two and a third billions of
bushels do not seem so immeasurable in
quantity. How quickly a diminishing
in the supply is felt is shown by the
high prices in wheat in 1891. The world
must have it for food even if it cost a
third more than the usual figure. Its
failure in a locality that depends upon it
is even worse. Russia's famine illus
trates this. A great section that raises
this crop alone was left almost without
a berry of the grain, and the whole world

was agonized with the awful' stories of
thousands dying of starvation upon the
vast plains of that empire.
When the United States would again
rejoice to see its farmers reap the bene
fits of high prices, yet it would be brutal
to desire this by a repetition of another
such experience in Russia. All good
men must wish that these 2,347 ,998,035
bushels include a fair retnrn from that
land.
Chinese Exclusion.
Washington, March 22. Secretary
Carlisle has replied to certain inquiries,
as to whether he will enforce the pro
visions of the Chinese exclusion act, as
follows: "As the act of May 5th, 1S92,
entitled 'an act to prohibit the coming of
Chinese persons into the United States,'
has not been repealed, it will be en
forced so far as lies within the . power of
this department. Section 14 of the act
approved May 6th, 1892, entitled 'an
act to execute certain treaty stipulations
relating to Chinese,' - provides that
'hereafter no state court of the United
States shall admit Chinese to citizen
ship, and all laws in conflict with this
act are hereby repealed.' This provis
ion of the law being in full force, the
naturalization of Chinese is therefore
illegal. Chinese merchants established
in business in the United States, who
may depart therefrom with the inten
tion of returning thereto, will be per
mitted to land upon submission to the
collector of customs at the port of first
arrival of evidence sufficient to satisfy
him of their indentlty as such returning
merchants. Chinese persons not of the
exempt class, as for instance laundry
men, residing in the United States, and
who may depart therefrom, will not be
permitted to return."
Blount' Powers.
Washington, March 22. Commis
sioner Blount has gone to Honolulu
clothed with extraordinary authority.
Should any trouble arise on the islands
pending his investigation, the naval
commanders and Minister Stevens will
be expected to follow his advice. He
has discretionary orders, it is said, to
decide after his arrival whether a con
tinuance of the temporary protectorate
is desirable and whether the American
sailors should be continued on shore.
