Washington, July 7. The strained rela tions between France and Ilriir.ll over the French (liilaini boundary appear to lie come more eomiilleateil dally. Tho subject Is analogous, to the lttltlsh-Venezuela tionble, In which the I'nlted States has taken a hand, and In the opinion of olllclnls hero the I'rench contest with Drnzil la rapidly assuming an aggravated aspoct, which may again call for the attention of the Putted States, as the Monroe doetilne npplles to ono no less than to the other. An armed conflict has occur! ed in the disputed territory between French soldiers and Hrnzlllnns. Tho French government has demanded redress, and the Iirnzllian congicss has passed a resolution couched In sharp languugo, calling for an explana tion from France. A cable report ftom Brazil states that' the government regards tho subject as so menacing that a. strict censorship has been established on all in formation regarding It. Tho armed eonlllet has merely brought to n crisis the long contention over the French (iulana territory. Iioth countries claim a large tract of territory extending north Horn tho Amazon river, and equal In ex tent tp what Is usually designated on the map as French (iulana. Uach country re gards the occupation of this disputed ter ritory as unwarranted. The fault for the lecent eonlllet cannot be placed. I-ranch ilnlana Is minted by France as a convict J.ilony for the deportation of the worst ,,'nsscs from Hie French prisons. As a re hiiKWj" population is a strange mixture of i.eflc1i.

France claimed that their territory ran down to the Amazon, in the treaty of Utrecht, the river Vlncet Plnzeon was lixed as the boundary., Portu gal then claimed that this river was the northerly nticn.ii) now marking the bound ary, whfle France claimed that It was the sti'eani near the Amazon, so that the treaty left the dispute aH tar open as ever. .Since the recent armed cmilllcl I'rench soldiers have ciossed tho boundary and perma nently established themseles In the dis puted territory, with the purpose, it Is be lieved, of holding it by force.

Tlcgatta week opens with beautiful vvt ather ut lien ley. The town Is crowded and tho river Is alive with crafts of all kinds. The crows are resting to-day. The Cornell men received numerous calls from other old Cornell men, and other Americans and members of other Jlenley crews. Coach Courtney has been indisposed.

There is, of course, not the slightest ground for suspicion.

Till I manifestly unjust. In the llrst place the lb publican house maile n cowardly surren der to Hie Populist seemtn when tho re fnrmnlnry bill was passed. As originally lliliodue.il the bill provided for Hie ap pointment of a board of three trustees, to hate inmrol of the Institution, nnd teft the governor free to select w hmiuKHSvcr he might derm tit to till the plnces, The t'opu INI seiintn Insisted that the bill be so liutigeil In this respect, so that It became mandatory upon the governor to Hppolnt one liemocrat, one Populist and one lit publican. The house yielded to this iimendtnetil . ami the result Is a board, halt "hns." half man und two-thirds alligator. It may be In older to criticise tho ov eraor for the manner of Populist und Iietiioit.it he selected to form the board, imt in tin. mind of every Intelligent Knii H.in be will tlml ample extenuation In tlm f.e t thai good Democrats and good Popu lists are a mighty scarce article In Unnsns, and ex dluuly dlllh ult In llnd. Willi a board like this, no two of whom wile In sympathy, trouble was the most natural tiling In the world. When It catne to the duty of selecting n superintendent of the teronnntnry, Governor Morrill was In no way consulted by th" board, and therefore is not to be held responsible for ntij of the shortcoming of Captain Hatch. Whatever mav have been the eriors of the Inst named gentleman, It Is unanimous. Iv believed at the stnte house Hint they can be Ho more than those made by tho board In presenting exorbitant voucheis Tor the expenses of a Junketing trip to the Fast. In which s cents a mile was cbatged where only .1 was paid, and where J4 per day was demanded for hotel expenses. It was for Juxt such perfnimnnecs that this administration has been Investigating Its Populist predecessors, and many Ite- puiilicuus are anxious lor nunnu LinuunK to llrst commence at home. Judge J V. Ileekman. representing Cap tain Hatch, came up rrom Arkansas t.lty yesterday, und was closeted with the gov ernor In lelatlon to the chaiges preferred by the board ugnlnst the siipeilntendent. As a consequence, a telegram was sent to the board at Hutchinson Instructing them to adjourn their Investigation or Hatch for two weeks from next Mommy. . Sow that the governor has taken a hand, It Is not Improbable that be will take a turn at Investigating his polyglot board of trustees. Judge Heeknian made some seri ous cdiarges against the board, fine of the charges is inexcusable extrav agance In the purchase of supplies. It is tills that caused the first railing out be tween Hatch and the board. The board, It Is claimed. Invited Hatch and his wife to go to Kansas City and advise with them as to the purchase or furniture and equip ment Tor the administration building and olllces. The appropriation for furnishing the administration building was $:i00, and Mr. Hatch made an estimate nf the furni ture required, which c.une within the limit of the appropriation. When the board got to Kansas City, it Is alleged, they bought with reckless extravagance, s-o that by the time their purchases were completed a bill of nearly jl.."i"0 Instead of Ji.ooo had been Incurred. The following Items give some Idea of the character of the purchases: Flat desk. STO: rollj'r top desk, SK; double desk.

Against all these purchases .Mr. Hatch made a vigorous protest, which was of no avail. Afier the protest he did a tittle Judicious swearing, all of which he admits, and which it Is said by his fi lends Is the sole grounds on which the directors base their charges against him. Speaking of the trip which the board and Captain Hatch made to visit K.istern reformatories, Judge Ileekman says that Hatch's bill for the portion of the trip for which the members each charged near ly Jim) was less than $100. He says that while the board was at Lansing, Mlph., they boarded at the penitentiary without expense and were banqueted by Hatch's friends, and nt Klniiru, N. Y., they hoard ed at a little Dutch $1 a day hotel Just outside of the penitentiary grounds. It will be remembered that the board put in a hotel bill of $1 for each day of the trip, a charge which they explained by relating the necessity lor pntronlzlng Pullman and dining cars.

SEVERE DRYSPELLIN NEW YORK Police Coiiintlsiiotier .Make a Vigorous KITort to rhM the Saloons In Cntliiim. and Partially Succeed. New York, July ".To-day, In police parlance, was a dry Sunday. That Is, ac cording to the police, the saloons were closed and the excise laws were being en forced entirely. This, however, was not strictly true. A stranger in Xew York might travel the whole city over without being able to quench his thirst, but the man who knew the bartender or the saloon keeper or the "man at tho door" had no reason to get thirsty, Tho police, how ever, made a determined effort to enforce the laws, and doubtless the saloons were as tightly shut as they can be closed dur ing the operations of present law. Where It was believed that la Wis were being vio lated olllcers were stationed nt the door and the saloonkeeper was either obliged to shut up or icmain Inside, while no cus tomers were allowed to enter. At the up town hotels the excise law was well ob served. All of the bars were closed and guests were served with drinks only when a meal was served. The drug stores sold very little liquor. Kven the excursion steamers sailing from the city closed their bars. Altogether the determination of the police commissioners to enforce the excise law was carried Into execution with unex pected rigidity. i'iitv I'.x.ti i i,i i:s iu:it.i:i) our, .

I i:euing and (.'ontluued fur 'Inn Hours Park Crowded Mlth I hmi.iiui!.. Who (let Wet -Si cues nn the Luke, Chicago, July ".One of the most furious wind anil rain storms known In this vicin ity for year passed over the city about 0 o'clock this evening, coming from the northwest. The tiny had been Intensely hot and there were mntiy people out on tho lake in sailboats, and, n the storm cntne very suddenly. It Is feared that several lives were lost. The different life saving crews have been busy all evening tracing rumors of capsized boats, people clinging to planks, etc., and up to lu p. m. have brought In tin- occupants of threu cup. Rlzcd boats, nil In it veiy exhausted condi tion. No train of any others has been found up to this hour, ainl it Is hoped that no more are out. The police nt the Cottage Grove avenue stiitiuti, on Hie South side, claim that they distinctly saw a sailboat with three occupants disappear during the height of tin- gale, and that nothing wits seen of II again during daylight. The life savers from the South side cruised nliout that locality for some time, but found no evidences of a wreck. It Is probable that more missing will be reported from the various suburbs at a later hour. I'p to within twenty minutes of the de scent of the storm upon the city the sky had been clear nnd the sun shining bright ly. Suddenly heavy black clouds began to gather In the northwest and u few min utes later a terrific gale of wind, accom panied by a perfect Hood of rain and furi ous thunder und lightning, was sweeping over the city. Shade trees were broken off close to the ground, awnings, signs, etc., lorn away, and much minor damage done In the city. The wind after about half an hour subsided, but the furious rain con tinued for fully two hours, during which time the streets were running with water. The parks had been crowded nil day with people seeking relief from tho almost Intol erable heat, and when the storm began there was a stampede for the various ele vated and cable lines. The surface lines were nil equipped with open cars, the can vas curtains on which afforded but slight protection in view of the furious gale, which dashed the rain tot rents In every di rection. As a tesult the occupants of every train made a surry looking sight before they had traveled a block, find most of them, after getting a thorough soaking, deserted the cars and sought the shelter of convenient stairways' and stores along the streets which they were traveling, and there they hnd to remain until after 7:M or take chances of another wetting by once more taking the cars. Many basements were Hooded all over the city ami In some instances tire engines hail to be called for to pump out stores. Several houses lu the outlying districts" of the city were struck by lightning and (erlously damaged. Two small residences! were completely destroyed, but no one In jured. The pecuniary loss In both cases was smalt. At the height of tho storm a signal tow er beside the Pan Handle tracks at Ada street was blown over und the towerman, August lloedlow, sustained fatal injuries. Several other people are reported painfully cut and bruised by living debris. At II ii. in. the police and life savers think that all the missing boats, both row boats and sailboats, arc accounted for, although It Is possible a few may yet be out. The people In those boats which Weie blown out Into the lake by the hurri cane, had an awful experience. So far the only fatality Is the case of Charles Klein, John Itoss and Charles 1,. Shook, who were out In a rowboal when the storm burst, and of whom no trace has yet been found. The yawlboat of the yacht llattle H. was picked up this even ing olf Twenty-sixth struct, but It Is thought the yacht has weathered the gale und made some other port. The damage to telegraph and telephone wires northwest of tho city was very great, livery telegraph wire was prostrat ed, many poles being carried away, and It was 10 o'clock before telegraphic communi cation was restored to Milwaukee, liven then it was very privations, there being but two very shaky wires working, wiiilu the demand for service was enormous. Great gangs of lepalrers ure out from both ends of the- route. Hob Terrell and John Fitzgerald were out In a rowboat when the storm came up.nnd had a very narrow escape from drowning. It the tug' Success had not been near they In all probability would have gone down. The boat capsized and the tug started to the rescue. A line was thrown them. which was grabbed bj Fitzgerald, and he was pulled on hoard the tug. Alec l.outo, en gineer of the lug, seeing that Terrell was sinking, Jumped overboard to s.ivo him. Terrell grabbed the engineer lu such a manner that he was unable to use his arms. A line w'as thrown them from tho tug and Just as they were sinking the en gineer by an effort managed to grab the line and both were pulled on board the tug.Tertell was in a serious condition from his narrow escape from drowning. l-ater leports, coming lu thiotigh the police and Insurum ,. patrols this evening, show that the losses in the downtown dls li lets alone will iiggiegatc a large sum. 'I be great department store of Ilothschlld ,v in., occupying neai ly inree-quarters of a square and fronting on State street, suf feied most, nearly nil the plate glass win dows on the Slate street side being blown in, and goods in the windows and tor some distance back badly damaged by the Hood of lain. Several persons who happened In In- passing the store nt the time received painful injuries fioui bits of Hying glass, pieces of llagslalfs from the loof, etc. Plato glass windows were also blown In In several other large downtown stores. I.'P to midnight no fuitlur casualties bad been reported, and it is thought now that every one who was out on the lake has been accounted lor. The icport of the til owning of three men olf Cottage Grovo avenue is now thought to be without foun dation, as a small boat containing thiee men nit ashore safely near the Farragut boathouse soon alter the police made the lepoit to the station. This Is thought to have been tho one seen by the olllcer. ruinous sioipis i:i.Ni:wiii:ni:. Other Parts of Illinois mid Southern WU coimlii Mulled. Chicago. III., July 7.

St. Louis, Mo., July 7. llclweeti ,Vi,tn) and in.Ortl people were at Camp Hancock to-day to see the wlnd-tui of the Interstate drill ami encampment. The programme to-day consisted mostly or snored concerts by the bund In eump. In the nfternoon the last contest of the eiicntupment took place. It wn the Individual drill for four pilzcs, aggregating in value $175. When the drill ctiinmeliced, twenty-live men, i. 'presenting each of the companies in camp, weie In line, but soon nil Were dlopped out but rour. The competition between these wiih close, the drill being very tlgld. The tlrst man lo be caught was Coiporul Albert, of Hie Nntloiml Illltes, of Washington, D. C. Then Sergeant Chillies Dtirfce, of the Walsh Zouave, of St. Louis, fell out, fol lowed by Private W. F. Thompson, of the Dranch Guard, of St. Louis., leaving Cor poral Arthur 15. West, of the Phoenix Light Infantry, ot Dayton, (J., as the win ner of llrst prize, Thcie were many surprises when, at the dress paiade soon aHer, the winners of prizes wire nniiounceil. In tho ftet-for-all Infantry contest for live prizes, the con tost was closest between the Iliutiiii Guards, of St. Louis, ami the llelknup III lles, of San Antoulo, Tex., which won the llrst and second prizes lespectively. Due of the Judges suld the latter company lost point on its Inspection because of the con dition of Its lilies, while Its drill was near ly equal In excellence to that of the Hiatich Guards. Tin- tlrst prlzo of J3.5W, with a 1,C) cup, which went lo a home company, was de clared by one of the judges to he entirely out of proportion to the other prizes of this class. The medal offered for the cap tain making the best personal score during the drill was awarded to Captain Slncl.ilt. commanding the Ilranch Guards. The Jiul lenc Guards, of Kansas City, won the. tlrst prize in the maiden Infantry class, with the National Illtlcs, ot Washington, a close second. In the artillery contest, lu which four crack batteries were entered, Indiana commands carried olf the two lit Ht prizes, Willi the Dallas battel y but a few points behind for thlid prize. There were the most surprises In the Zouave chi"s, where three prizes were 6r rered anil four companies competing. There was considerable disappointment that the fiyuons Chicago Zouaves did not get a mention. This command has Justly been culled the llrst Zouave company in the country, because of Its having won moie than twenty llrst prizes during Its lifetime, ami many lesser ones. An analysis of Its Score card showed where It failed to come up to the standard of the other companies. In the point of accuracy It was perfect, while its iniuk for Inspection was as high. If not higher, than In the cases of Its com petitors In this drill. It, however, came far below tho other companies lu the num ber of movements made. In the quickness of their execution, while Its mink for work that was distinctly Zouave was considera bly lower than that received by the win ners. The Neeleys. of Memphis, were the winners of llrst prize, with the Walshes, of St. Louis, second, and the Hales, of Kansas City, third. There was considera ble surprise that the Walsh Zouaves, who have been out of nmmisslon for the past two years, should win stcond prize. Hut that they did was the result of the good work of their excellent tirlllmaster and captain, William It. lleymun. at one time a member of the fumous Husch Zouaves, or this city. Not a member or his company had drilled belore Tor two years until only two weeks ago, when Captain Heymnn called the men together, and through the hardest kind or wotk brought them up to their old point ol excellence and within three points or taking the llrst prize. Several of the tompanles left camp this evening Immediately after dies parade, and the others will take their depaiturc on the early train to-morrow.
