Twetuy ihoiiMind jHHiple tilay niw one
of the most, exciting fouimlle boat race
evr wltnweil In itie history of .vlle
rowing. Five thousand people on an ob.
nervattlon train yelled themselves harso
In frantic upleals to tllielr vnrtoua ooU
ligo crews to do their besi, and with
IS.tw tlu-y suw 1'ennsylvanla carried over
the lliu. winner by a, short half lentjth
from th WlsconJltw. who kwt in rtte last
Sm yards by Iwd atoerlng.
Cornell, the vlctr of former year,
pulled after full four lengths In the rear.
and Columlitu, never In Che ftht after
the end of the tlrst mile, trailed In a good
rhree lengths from the stern of the Cor
noil 'boat. U was that kind of a race
Uiat make tte blood tingle, and wa.
made w by the crew that same over 1000
mlk no meet former victors, for with
out tho gallant Wisconsin In the race It
would have been a doleXul procession,
after ah second mile was entered. To
say there was surprise when the Wlsooiv
sin shell wvpt mile after mile of the
course until The lust half was reached
with a clear lead over all the crews Is
putting li mildly. The alleged ragged
stroke, 'badly keeled boat and too long
re. olv were all rgotten as the fast mov
tng shell kept Ita sllianp nose tn tho fore
and then the people saw the leader turn
out towards the Shore at the finish and
loso the raoe to the mew. from Pennsyl
vania by a short halt length. Well did
the Pennsylvanlans obey the Injunction
of Ellis Ward to not lose their heads.
From the first eighth of a mil. ' they
rowed a stern, hard cliase, at on. time
belmr astern of both Cornell and Wlsoon
sin, but Uielr pluck and endurance sent
rhom over the line first in good time and
by such, a umall margin that the glory
is greater. For Cornell, winner of winny
battles, the xntest proved to be a race
only In two miles.

"The dirt washed was shoveled rrom

BIRMINOHAM. Ala, June J7-Three
negroes are dead and one Is not expected
to live until morning as the result of a
riot between white and ngro miners at
the ore mine, near Cardir. in Jefferson
county. The dead are: Ed Ellis. Jim Dill,
Adam Samuels. The wounded: Rudolph
Williams. Gvorge Thomas, nr'rtaliy.
The two races came to a clash late In
the afternoon in Glasgow hollow, where
the netrroes had consrregated, armed with
Winchester rifles. A white man, pass
I rig along the road, was held up. and be.
silk's belnff abused, was roughly bandied.
This news son spread and an armed
body of white miners moved toward the
hollow. It Is supposed they went around
'by a circuitous route in the mountains
and came upon the negroes unexpectedly.
E1. Ellis, the ringleader, armed with a
Winchester nd Colts' revolver fell at
the first fire. A rifle bullet did the work.
Ther,. was another volley and four other
nesrroes fell. Jim Dill and Adam Samuels
died In a few minutes after being; re
moved to the negro house. George Thorn,
as was shot through the abdomen with a
Winchester bullet. He Is not expectedi to
recover. Rudolph Williams will live.
The trouble started yesterday, when It
was thought that John Shepperd. who.
on la Wednesday, assaulted Mrs. Mon.
roes Jones near Corona, was In that com
munity. The negroes armed themselves
to prevent his capture. Both sides were
aroused and only the thnery arrival of
the sheriff's posse prevented an out.
break. This morning the negroes he-Id
mass meeting and refused to go to work.
They all belong to a secret organlxatlon
known as the Knights of Africa, or
"Mysterious men."

Republic of Franco S;ronger Than Ever
But In Constant Danger of
Expiosljn.
NEW YORK, June ST.-The Paris cor.
respondent of the Tribune, discussing
tlie victory of the government, says:
The constitution of the republic has
had a narrow escape. The majority of
26 Is attributed ito the timely Inlervcn.
tlon of M. Brisson. who succeeded in
slcmmirur the tide, which, after M. Mir.
man's fierce onslaught, seemed about to
sweep the oaWnet away. The deafening
shouts of "Vive la commune" and "as
sassin" with which the socialists greeted
the Marquis de Galltfet, are considered
the gravest revolutionary symptoms
which has occurred in the chamber for
many years. The victory won by the
cabinet assures a strong executive gov
ernment until the conclusion of the Drey
fus court martial, but moderate republi
can like Rlbot declare that the real
danger will come from the socialists who
now, for "the first time, participate In
the actual government, who fully rea
llxe their Increased power and who never
before have been so exacting. National
1st reactionist, openly confess that It Is
through the socialists that they hope to
destroy the republlo and eventually to
win the day.

A COSTLY MISTAKE.
Pleglhle Figure Cause Th Mistake That
Wrecked the Pari.
CHICAGO. Jun T.. A special cable
to the TrUun from London mvrt: .
"The Pari disaster turn out to b. .
a simple matter. On leaving Cherbourg,
Cp;aln Watkin entered the departure
In tbe log. :S p. m.. using a pencil. Th.
next entry was 'passing Casket, 7:33.'
.The course ateered was almost due west,
J In order to make Lixard light. So a to
go through the passage between Corn
wall and rhe island, the usual practice
is, If the Lixard light t not made at a
certain time to change the course to the
south and go clear of tbe Island. On this
occasion this was Impossible, as, owing
to the misty night, they could not e
the E1 J stone light.
"The captain consuked the log when
about opposite Eddystone. He mistook
the entry and read the time of leaving
j Cherbourg a 7.C, the thne of passing
Caskets, instead of :X. the real time of
'leaving Cherbourg. Consequently th
cap:aln judged himself about 17 miles
I further from the Cornwall coast than he
heally wa and delayed rhanglns; th.
course by one hour. Just aufflcient to run

He says:
j "The American archbishop recently

sonic republic which exile tome of It

TO KILL A WHOLE REGIMENT.
CHICAGO. June ZT.-A special to th
Chronicle from Washington says:
A shell of terrific explosive power, with
a capacity to annihilate by bursting frag
ments and shock, as effective as a streak
of ligtitning will be the feature of tho
fa'.l campaign In the Philippine islands.
Tests of the charge of ithhj terrible en.
glue of war are being made at Sandy
Hook, the government guarding closely
Its secret of manufacture. A shell of
this nature, changed with an explosive
equal to melinite or dynamite falling near
a battalion of the enemy would kill or
cripple a very large .percentage of the
battalion. The chances of escape from

100 times, experts say, as compared with,
