the Bole de Boulogne. The Grand Prix, the French Derby. Is run on Sunday. It was Sabbath day. reminding me of the best June weather at home.

I drove out in the pant in the morning to see what preparations were made for the President. Literally the woods were full of soldiers and policemen. Cavalry, Infantry and artillerymen were taking their breakfast under the trees and on the meadows beside every road. There were thirty thousand in the park and as many were in readiness outside. An army larger than that of the United States was massed to protect the President to and from the horse race.

I returned and took a position on the Champs Elysees the finest avenue In the world. For those who have never been to Paris the Champs Elysees' from the Arch of Triumph to the Place Concord Is much like Pennsylvania avenue at Wasington from the Treasury to the Capitol. There were several hundred thousand people on either side. Detectives on bicycles swarmed everywhere. They might as well have had placards on their breasts, 'We are It was an orderly and good natured crowd.

SENATOR CM. QEPEW With Some Interesting Views Regarding Conditions Among Our Neighbors Across the Water. ANGLO SAXON AMITY A KEYNOTE. Continental Nations Beset "With Many Perils American Products Abroad. A Good Word for Alger.

United States Senator Cbauncey M. Depew, accompanied by his son, C. M. Depew, arrived yesterday morning from Europe on the Cunarder Campania. Senator Depew left last evening for Newport, where he will, he says, spend three days of each week during the summer.

He will return to New York, however, on Monday. The Senator and his son were taken off the Campania at Quarantine by a New York Central Railroad tug and brought to the city. A staff ofllcer of the Custom Housp went down on the tug to take Senator Depew's baggage declaration. Upon landing the Senator expressed his usual cheerful willingness to talk on timely topics and wen' on to say: "I had a good time on the other side. The only thing that marred the trip was the illness of my boy.

He had started to see the Continent, while I stayed In England. I heard that he was ill in Brussels; although he tried to keep it from mo. and' of course I went to him at once, after telegraphing to the keeper of the hotel where he was staying. This forced me to cancel a large number of engagements. We had a celebration on the Fourth of July coming over, and the Earl of Donoughmore proposed the health of President McKinley.

I was called on to respond and I gave them a regular old fashioned Fourth of July oration, as near as I could on an English ship and under the English flag. "On the 5th of July we had a concert, at which I presided. Then 1 just jollied them for an hour; told them some old stories that you have heard and some new ones that no one had heard." Troubles in Continental Governments. The Senator said that the thing that most impressed him during his trip was the "stability and strength nf the English and American governments and the instability and unreliability of all of the continental countries of Europe. He thcr.

enumerated different events of recent occurrence abroad in support of hie statement. In Austria Itaiy. Belgium, France and other countries, he said, they had had the most seriou. infernal difficulties. "As for France," he wain, "there is no tell just what might have hapi ened i that assault upon ihe I'rrident had not resulted merely in the of his hat.

This gave a ridiculous turn to affair and the matter was passed over merriment." Speaking of the extent to which the English people are interested in American affairs, the Senator said: "Well, in our operations in the Philippines they take but an academical interest. They think thai we "aav a big contract on our hands owing to the climate and the treachery of the native. But. just now the English are taking more interest iu the America's cup than in all other things American put together. They want to win that cup more than anything else in the world." Senator Depew had much to say concerning, the condition of working men abroad, especially in England.

"The individual American working man." he said, "is more intelligent, better educated, don't drink so much, and live better than the average English working man. An army, whether its operations be iu the field or workshop fights on llf The English working man spends about, three limes the amount for beer and strong drink that out men do, and if the wages are close that leaves just so much less for the family. After pasci ing.a certain point what a working man spends out of his wages, comes out of his meat. American marie goods, according to the Senator, are fast finding a market in England. The secret of this, he said, is our productiveness and the fact that we make better goods.

We produce atore per man," he said, "than they do. The English workmen allow themselves to be restricted by certain rules that have existed for years. Take 100 American men and put them in a steel mill, and I think they would turn out 33 per cent, more product than the same number of Englishmen. "All classes in England are intensely cordial to th.2 United States, from the gentleman whose guest you are down to the cabman who drives you about. It is more than talk.

They would line up and fight with us at the 'drop of the Alaskan Trouble Not Difficult of Ad justment. Concerning the troubles over the Alaskan boundaries between this country and Canada, Senator Depew thought they were not serious, and capable of diplomatic adjustment. of one mind; on, way. and that way Is with us.

Janowskl, However, May Pass Pills bury in the Final Round af Chess.

London, July 8 No additional resulfsof importance were arrived at during to night's, session of the, International Chess tournament and the leaders', therefore, retain the saiaa relative positions as at the time of the last report. Cohn's game with Lee resulted in a draw, but the other unfinished match between Blackburne and Maroczy was adjourned slightly in favor of the young Hungarian. Two games consequently remain in an undecided state, the one just mentioned and that between Lasker and Janowski, both of which have an important bearing upon the distinction of second prize. Pillsbury will in all probability manage to keep ahead of botfr Maroczy and Scblechter, but Janowski may yet deprive him of the coveted honors. It will all depend upon the Frenchman's final game with Steinitz.

Following is the summary of to day's play: Bird, Schlcchter, Tinsley, Showalter, Tschigorin, Janowski, Mason, Pills bury, Blackburne, Maroczy, Conn, Lee, Lasker and Steinitz had byes. Appended are the scores of the contestants to date: THE HOME 1 Soon the President appeared. He was in an open landau, drawn by four horses, ridden by postillions. The carriage was surrounded by a squadron of cavalry riding at a smart trot and each man holding his revolver In readiness for use. The procession moved In silence.

Fires of Bevolution Were Smouldering. "Not a single cheer nor cry of any kind nor not a single hat raised to the frequent bowing of the President. I thought the crowds were there, as they certainly would have been with us or In England, to express their pleasure at the escape of their President from the attack upon him. I have seen processions of rulers on gala days presidents, kings, queens, kaisers and sultans but never before through silent subjects or citizens. "The day Waldeck Rousseau formed his cabinet, and as we do, it was taken before the legislative assembly to be confirmed, I went down to the Chamber of Deputies.

The question was the rejection or confirmation of the cabinet, in whole or in part. But beneath this simple subject were the smoldering fires of revolution. It was the last effort of the President. The enemies of the present government hoped, by defeating confirmation, to bring about chaos and the resignation of President Loubet. Then in the scramble for power, every ambition would take its chance.

Out of the total vote of five hundred the government was saved by only twenty six majority. "But what struck me again was the reli ance on the army. Soldiers were everywhere and in the side streets cavalrymen sat their horses in battle array, ready for a charge. The government was relying on the army to maintain order and its enemies were caressing the bayonets, in hope of winning them, and all parties were crying 'Vive "The new Cabinet has for its programme only the safety of the Republic. Waldeck Rousseau postpones all contraversial measures until this is assured.

To accomplish this he has summoned all parties to share the government. To appreciate this effort we must suppose our own institutions in peril and that as a supreme effort President McKinley should make up his Cabinet thus: "Thomas B. Reed, Secretary of State; William J. Bryan, Secretary of Treasury: Theodore Roosevelt, Secretary of War; Edward Atkinson, Secretary of the Navy; Jerry Simpson, Secretary of Agriculture; Governor Pin gree, Secretary of the Interior; Simon Buck ner. Attorney General.

A Picturesque Secretary of War Is the Marquis of Gallifet. "Willerand, the secretary of commerce, is a rampant Socialist and General the Marquis de Gallifet, Secretary of War, shot thirty five thousand of them in 1871. General de Gallifet is the picturesque member of the Cabinet. He captures the imagination of the country He Is admitted on all sides to be the ablest and most brilliant cavalry officer in Europe. Hale and handsome at 70, his life is one long dare devil adventure in war and in love.

An ex ploding shell tore open his abdomen in Mexico and the French say he carried his entrails in his hat until he found a surgeon. The present coat of his stomach is a silver plate and he grimly declares he experiences all the violent fluctuations of the metal. His conduct after he defeated the Immune in 1S7I Is the one in cident indellibly impressed with all the honors of time on my memory. He corralled a large" section of the population of Paris. As these men and women were driven before him he seized the ends of their fingers and bent hack their hands.

If the palm was black they were shot, the men as participants in the fighting, the women as guilty of incendiarism with petroleum. To the appeals of the old he answered, 'You have lived long and to the young, 'It is a mercy to save you from the dangers of "Official France retains the ceremonial usages and pomp of the Empire. The people do not become accustomed to Republican simplicity. Deschanel, the president of the Chamber of Deputies, or as we would call him, the Speaker of the House, is one of the most promising of the younger statesmen of France. He did more than anyone to save the cabinet in the crisis of its birth.

The difference between French Republican ideas and ours have this illustration and it. is universal. Speaker Reed has a salary of $5,000 a year and we all remember his modest apartment at the Shore ham, Washington. The speaker of the French Assembly has $20,000 a year and a palace. This splendid structure is five times as large as the White House.

It is superbly furnished and appointed. Its banquet hall seats three hundred and its reception rooms are larger! It is maintained by the state and sentry boxes and sentinels are all around. Belgium Labor Troubles Indicate the Danger Spot in Europe. "At the Speaker's reception, which I attend ed, a regiment of soldiers were drawn up as if on rev lew. On account of, the sickness of my boy I had to spend a week in Brussels.

It is at present the most interesting Storm center in Europe. The French crisis is local the Belgium may become universal. The unrest of labor and dissatisfaction with vast armaments are creating dangerous conditions all over the continent. A revolution in Belgium might be the spark to fire the magazine everywhere. I talked with men of all parties in Belgium.

The situation is the most emphatic indorsement of the wisdom of our forefathers in eternally separating church and state and divorcing religion from politics. There were two parties in Belgium, the Conservative and the Liberal, and the church was neutral. Each party strove for the active support of the clericals. The Conservatives secured it and Che Liberal party wan wiped out. Then the Conservative was called the Clerical party.

The Socialists instantly came to the front as the opposition and the Liberals, having nowhere else to go, joined them. Tho suffrage is very restricted but notwithstanding that the Socialists captured the cities. The country districts largely outnumber those of the cities and are controlled by the clericals. "The result is that 930,000 clerical voters have 112 representatives and 980,000 Liberals and Socialists have Only 40. To this 980,000 must be added as many more, vho.

not boing property owners, have no votes; but they are ripe for revolution. The electoral bill, over which all these riots have arisen, answers the demand for manhood suffrage by first denying it, and then giving a minority representation only in districts where the Socialists and Liberals are in the majority, by which the minority will elect more ref resentatives than the majority. "The country is threatened with Socialistic anarchy. Mobs were erecting barricades, attacking the public buildings, singing the "Marseillaise" and shouting for the republic. The throne was rocking.

The religious aspect is a singular revelation of the workings of human nature. The Socialists and Liberals, seeing the Clericals actively In politics and against them, and the party in power accepting the terms of the Clerical party, put religion ana conservative politics together, class them as one and fight both. Thev trout tney Believe that, the whole country is owned and bought by the Jews and think they would nice to drive them out. "Why, I was asked, 'How do you get along with the Jews in I told them that we did not see any difference between Jew and Gentile, and that so far the Gentiles had been able to hold their own." Tho Senator said the commercial element of England would like to see the question of the money standard revived in this country and that they would not be averse to seeing the free coinage of silver made a fact, for It would retard our encroachment upon their markets, over which many In England are muoh worried. But the great majority of the English people do not look for the success of any attempted overturning of our financial standard.

When asked regarding the propriety of Secretary Alger's retiring from the Cabinet, Senator Depew said that he ougit not to be expected to answer that question. "I have always had an idea," he said, "that Secretary Alger is a much abused man. Any man who was Secretary of War under the trying conditions of the Spanish American War would be sure to get a clubbing: would have to stand I the brunt of the abuse heaped upon the ad Senator. Depew was very positive in declaring that he believed that President McKinley would again run for the presidency, and that he would be re elected. Asked for an opinion about the recently effected Boston and Albany lease by the Cen tral.

Senator Depew said: "The Boston and Albany has for twenty years "been an Important outlet for the New York Central, and our acquiring the property is one of the best things that has happened in some time for shippers and the traveling public. The situation will remain unchanged as far as business is concerned, but there is now no danger of our losing an outlet to the East. Our business made the action neces sary." As to the alleged alliance between the Penn sylvanla Railroad and the New York Central Railroad, the Senator said "You can say that the Pennsylvania and the New. York Central are on the most friendly terms, but at the same time they are tremendous competitors and will never be in tho same corporation. There is no close alii ance; they are simply on friendly terms." How the Fourth of July Was Celebrated on the Campania.

As usual Senator Depew seems to have been "the life of the party" on the Campania's trip. At the celebration and concert which he mentions in his interview above, he was made the central figure. The Fourth of July was made the 'occa sion of speech making, and toasts were drunk to the health of President McKinley and to the Queen. At the close of dinner on July 4, the Earl of Donoughmore, in a neat speech proposed the health of the President. He spoke of the day and its significance and he dwelt on the friendship existing between Eng land and America.

He talked for fifteen minutes and at the close of his address all about the tables rose and drained their glasses. As he sat down there were loud calls for Mr. Depew. There was renewed cheering as the Senator rose. The whole tenor of the speech that followed was on the American English friendship and the commercial growth of these countries.

In alluding to the day he said that while It marked the independence of this country it was so long ago that England had now come to look on America not as a friend but as an ally. He dwelt on the war with Spain and in speaking of the position of England at that time said that we appreciated the stand taken by that government at Manila. In the course of his address he said that in a few years time the trade of the world would be In the hands of the Anglo Saxon race. In conclusion he spoke of his experiences while in England, and the kind of treatment he had received. He then called upon all to drink the health of her majesty, the Queen.

Again, all the cabin diners arose to their feet and the toast, was enthusiastically drunk. The report of Mr. Depew's speech spread to the second cabin and he was forced to go to that part of the vessel and make another. On the evening after the Fourth a concert was given on board, and again Mr. Depew was called upon to act as chairman for the evening.

One of the passengers who has crossed the ocean many times said that the evening's entertainment was one of the most interesting he had taken part in on ship board. He said that Mr. Depew told some of his famous afterdinuer stories and the audience was frequently convulsed with laughter. The Senator's Notions of the Situation in France. In speaking later, more in detail, about the situation in France, Senator Depew said: "It was worth the trip across the Atlantic to witness the evolution or revolution or defeat of revolution in France.

It Is probably due to the fact that there was no name with which to conjure, and no leader having the public confidence who was able, audacious and unscrupulous enough to act, that the third republic was not ended. The radicals and reactionaries form a majority and at times work together for the overthrow of the republic. The one wants the country governed by a single chamber popularly elected, with no president and no senate, in other words, the old convention of Robespierre, while the other wants all power concentrated In a king or emperor. Neither has any conception of the liberty we understand and practice. I heard an eminent French literary man say.

'Have patience with us. Our people will learn nothing from what has been done in England or the United States. The French know nothing and do not care to know any thing of other countries. We have been only thirty years trying under the form of a re public, which is not a republic according to the Anglo Saxon ideas, to break up the tra i ditions and eradicate the heredity of a thous and years of autocratic government. It took vou in Great Britain and continuing in America hundreds of years to accomplish this.l "A distinguished politician said: 'Yes, I know that vour idea of liberty is that while everyone enjoys it his way he must permit all others to enjoy it their way, but most of our people recognize only the first proposition.

Those who do not go to church would shut up the Churches and prohibit people attending divine worship, and those who do go to church would make it a penal offense to stay away. There is a growing party of intelligence and patriotism who are striving to strengthen the republic. President Loubet and the present Prime Minister Waldeck Rous sau are conspicuous leaders of this group. In fact Loubet is nearer being a Republican according to our Ideas than any of his All parties fear the army, in every speecn g'ns with fulsome praise of the Army All politicians bow to it and say ou are the hope the strength, the salvation of France, and we will respect the constitution and stand by the We cannot conceive in our country of tho army thus dominating and dictating. Still there is no soldier dictator in sight' Significance of the Attack on President Loubet.

"A company, and not a large one, of young exquisites made up their minds to attack the President at the steeplechase meeting. They were encouraged because Deroulede was ac quited with the applause of the jury, the judge, the prosecuting olllcers and the people, though boasting In his speech to the court that he had tried to lead the army against the Elysee. the French white house, for the overthrow of the government and If freed he would try ngain. If such an attack had been made upon the President of the United States, no matter how bitter were party passions, there would have been universal Indignation at this insult to the office. But there was little evl dence of any such sentiment.

There is such an imnnnse number who, while not approving the methods, are glad of anything which creates or intensifies disrespect for a government they want changed. The attack of the dandies was the best, thing which has happened. It. made ridiculous an inchoate and formidable movement, which was rapidly crys tallzlng. Revolutions cannot survive ridicule.

"The press did not uphold the dignity of the outraged office of Chief Magistrate, but commented according to their partv spirit. One, journal of great circulation, charging the President wun peasant parsimony, said an egg had smashed on his shirt bosom, but It was fresh and could lie utilized fur his breakfast. Rocheford said, 'All my three hundred thousand subscribers and millions of readers should go to the Grand Prix. There you will find out your liberties. A gentleman beside you will say "I don't, think M.

Loubet looks like a president, do you?" ami you will answer "No he looks like a bog of potatoes." nnd then this gentleman will arrest you and take you to the lockup. Me is a "The great race course is situated at tho further end and within the splendid park as Crew Races, the Most Interesting of All Rowing Contests, Are Plentiful This Year. PRIZE CUPS FOR INDIVIDUALS. Each Man in a Winning Boat Will Re ceive a Silver Urn Instead of a Medal. With good weather and water there Is no reason why the annual Long Island rowing regatta next Saturday should not be as successful as the best of its predecessors.

North Beach offers an excellent" course, when properly flagged, and only 'a humming northeast blow will stir it up enough to make racing impossible. Bluffs shelter the water for almost the entire length of the course, while the lnsfiore position, even in the wind, is frequently tranquil as an inlaad lake. It required a great deal of argument on the part or the north shore clubs to convince the association at large that the mile stretch off North Beach was at all suitable for boat racing. The unfortunate fiasco at Sheepshead Bay, in 1897, brought matters to a head and at the next annual meeting the Seawanhaka, Flushing and Ravenswood clubs had their way. Results have amply justified the choice of North which is likely to be the permanent racing ground of the local association hereafter.

This week. several crews from other localities will arrive there; preparatory to the regatta. Among these will be the Crescent Athletic Club eight and the Nautilus Eagle four. If either of them cares to compare the new course with the old, a row across Flushing Bay to the long breakwater will afford an opportunity arid a line of judgment may very readily be formed. It is a fact that at times when a barge could scarcely be floated on the old stretch, the water off North Beach would easily permit the use of a light gig.

Crews should have no difficulty in accustoming themselves to the course, as it is a mile straightaway, and if flagged, according to regulations, no repetition of last year's misunderstandings can possibly occur. The regatta committee has promised to keep the finish line clear of the small boats and yachts, which then seriously interfered with the crews: If the committee can do so, however, it will accomplish more than any of those in the past. Beginning at 2:30, if the first race is started on time, the events will be contested In the following order: Junior singles, Junior double gigs, junior four oared shells (Eagle Cup), junior four gigs, four oared barge, intermediate four gigs (Flushing Cup), and eight oared shells. It will be seen from this list that crew races are more plentiful than heretofore, and as a result the attracting power of the regatta, from an onlooker's standpoint, will be considerably heightened. I Instead of one cup race, two are on the cards, that for the Flushing Cup having been added this year.

Unlike the Eagle trophy, this cup may be won by any crew, whether it be from Long Island, the Harlem or New Jersey. There are restrictions, and yet up to last Friday but one entry had been received. The Eagle Cup race has filled in better shape, crews having been entered from the Nautilus, Seawanhaka and Ravenswood Clubs. It was thought at one time that the Crescent Athletic Club would also place a junior four in competition, but, by reason of 'a later decision, every energy was concentrated in 'the eight. Before regatta day, at least one other crew, probably from the Ravensyoods, will be formed to make a contest for the Intermediate Cup.

The winner of the. latter, and of tho Eagle Cup race as well. for that matter, will gather considerably more than glory as a reward for their prowess. The association has been extremelv gen erous in the matter of prizes this year, and in each of these two races the victorious crew will receive a banner, one large cup and a one for every man in the boat. The substitution of cups for medals as individual Prlzes has met with unanimous approval, and n.ot without good reason, for the cups that the association has had made are large enough ior yacnting prizes.

It will be a source of satisfaction to the many Long Island oarsmen. If the Crescent Club crew succeeds in winning the eight shell race. As opponents the Crescents will meet two Harlem crews, one each from the Unions and Bohemians. While technically juniors, the men, who compose the Crescent crew have had a great deal more experience than the average junior oarsmen. A majority of them have rowed in closed regattas for years and every man in the boat is a trained TROPHY.

athlete. The crew will be at North Beach all this week, taking morning and evening spins over the course. With a new paper shell and an abundance of good coaching from veteran Dave Roche, it will be a surprise if the crew does not row a winning race. Physically, the men are thoroughly fit and exceed by many pounds the weight of most Junior crews. Whichever boat wins, the race of the eight is bound to be a prime feature of the programme.

This year's Eagle Cup contest will be the eleventh for the trophy. the new conditions, which go Into effect this year for the first time, consecutive victories, to the num ber. of three, are no. longer necessary, to make Spod a' title to. the cup.

The Nautilus crew will take up its quarters at the Seawanhaka House this week.

The Nautilus four will row in the junior gig event also. The Varuna Boat Club, once the most active in the association, is a silent partner in the latter's affairs this year, much to the general regret. Twice the Varunas came within one race of winning the Eagle Cup, but missed the mark each time. It was thought that the change in the conditions might influence the' Varunas to come out again, but they are still inactive. A list of the Eagle Cup races since 1889, when the present trophy was first offered, illustrates the ups and downs of fortune: June by Varuna C.

"That jolly tar and gallant sailor, Captain Sir Edward Chichester, who stood so finely by Admiral Dewey at Manila, made a capital speech at the dinner to Mark Twain by the White Friars. He paid the highest compliments to the American officers and men and told this story: His ship got out of fresh meat.

Dewey let him have all he wanted from his cold storage supply. When his ship came to Hong Kong an English5 official said to one of Captain Chichester's petty officers, a fat fellow: 'How did you get on at the.

SO, has started on a tour through Northern New York, visiting Saratoga, Lake George, Lake Cham plain, St. Lawrence Rapids, Montreal, and finally reaching Quebec, where she will remain tor July and August. the eight oared shell event will be the Union and the Bohemian Boat Club. Both of these crews are worthy competitors. The Union crew, which was the only one of the Harlem clubs to be placed in the Harlem regatta, consists of a sturdy lot of oarsmen, averaging about 160 pounds, and under the coaching of Fitzsimmons It has been greatly improved in form.

The Bohemians, since the Decoration Day regatta, have been under the watchful eye of Dan Murphy, the professional coach of the Winnipeg Boat Club. The crew is an exceptionally strong one, averaging about 180 pounds, and lost a place in the Harlem regatta more through the poor work of lts coxswain than of the oarsmen. In the junior four oared gig races more Manhattan crews will row. The Hudson River Boat Club will be represented by W. Hopper, T.

Davis, A. Morris, E. De Lamater and H. Culver, coxswain. As the Hudsons are used to rough water training they will be on more equal terms with Long Island clubs.

Like the Bohemians, they are a heavy crew, with considerable strength, and their blade work is excellent. As this will be the first and only regatta the Hudsons will take part in during the year, they are out. to win. Captain Goodkin of the Lone Star Boat Club will also enter a crew in this event. Cramer, the champion sculler of the club, will strike it.

Another entry will come from the Atalanta Boat Club. In the double gig Frier and Nonebacker will represent the Harlem Rowing Club, Russell and Conlon the Metropolitan Rowing Club, Benson and Hirsch the Wyanoke Boat Club, and the Bohemian Boat Club will also be rep resented. Of these crews the Harlem clubs representatives. Frier and Nonebacker, are the most favored, as they are in good form, sit well and handle the sweeps skillfully. Hjertberg and Riley are the representatives of the Unions in this event.

In the Junior singles will be Hirsch of the Wyanoke Boat Club; Cornell, Union Boat Club; Instone, Dauntless Boat Club; b. A. Cramer. Lone Star Boat Club, and L. G.

Blunt of the Nassau Boat Club. Of these sin gle scullers Blunt and Cramer should be the pick. Though Blunt qualified in his heat and Cramer did not in the Harlem regatta, yet the latter bas been in constant training ever since, and by weekly club competition has gained experien.ee, form and speed. In the intermediate the Nonpareil Boat Club will have C. C.

Hofman, T. Naughton, H. L. Welsman, A. Y.

Crawford, stroke, and A. A. Haight, coxswain. The Nassaus may enter, and between these two crews there is very little preference. Mulcahey and Kafka, under the colors of the Dauntless Rowing Club, will prove worthy competitors for any Long Island crews entered in tne lntermeoiaie uouoie evui, tut jjuuh brothers of the Metropolitan Boat Club will be another strong crew In this race; Ritter and Dolan, under the Harlem Rowing Club colors, make another strong crew.

But of the lot the first named should prove the best. Long Island oarsmen must look to their laurels or some of the choice emblems of the association may find their, way to the clubs of Manhattan. The Harlem contingent will go to North Beach, expectant and determined, and with but one or two exceptions every crew has been in training constantly since early spring. CRESCENT REGATTA POSTPONED. The final heats in the annual rowing regatta of the Crescent Athletic Club, which were to have been decided yesterday at Bay Ridge were again postponed, owing to the fact that when the other sports on the grounds were concluded the squall and Btorm came up; and the programme, as now amended, calls for the final running off of the deferred programme in its entirety on July 22 at 4 M.

Webber, the champion pistol and revolver shot of America, won the special prize offered by Manager Jack Wright at the weekly shoot of the Brooklyn Gun Club at the Union Course grounds yesterday afternoon.

The contest was at 25 birds thrown from the magautrap, all unknown angles, and when the smoke of battle had cleared away six members were in the tie for the prize, a drum of powder. George Paterson, who has won so many prizes lately at the Brooklyn Gun Club shoots, magnanimously withdrew and allowed the other live to fight it out. When the shoot off was over Dr. Webber and John Hopkins of Aqueduct were still tied. The shoot off was then at 15 birds and Dr.

Webber won out by two birds. Several sweepstakes were decided, in which Dr. Webber, John Hopkins, William Hopkina and Dr. Kemble carried off the honors. One of the many interested spectators was Captain Louis Ramger, Just returned from the Philippines.

"England has outgrown her prejudice, to a great extent, to the tariff the United States. You don't anything at all now about the tariff.

Reverting to the subject of France Senator Depew said: World's Fair to Be a Peace Maker. "There is one great force that is going to prevent any serious trouble there, and that Is the world's fair. They are making great prepa rations ior the lair; greater than we made for the Columbian Exposition.

The store keepers, hotel keepers; in fact, all classes, want it, and they will not allow any disturbances to spoil the show. By the time the fair is over I think the government will have things so fixed as to prevent any disturbances." "Is anti Semltlcism very strong in France, or is it dying out?" Mr. Depew was asked. "Dying out!" he exclaimed; "it Is rampant." "Why so?" "Because the Jews have all the commercial talent all the banking talent; therefore, they have the most of the money.
