Minnesota owns the earth today.
Minnesota owns the earth today.
Her oarsmen quit pouting yesterday,
took their fingers out of their
mouths, came ' down to business,
hauled down the British flag and
kicked it beneath the waters of Mm
netonka, where it will likely remain
for some time to come. The cherry
and white were run up in Its stead
to signalize two of the most surpris-
ing victories ever achieved on that
course and the fact that Minnesota
has the fastest four in America.
The Minnesota four rowed down
the brawny and hard-fisted sens of
toil who came here with their minds
full of confidence, and it must be
admitted that the result, while em-
inently satisfactory to all Minneso-
tans, was as much a surprise to the
wearers of the cherry and white as
it was to the defeated men from
the Lake of the Woods.
It was the talk of the resort that
Winnipeg had the senior four race
already won. No one but a few con-
servative sports like George Nettle-
ton and John Gait believed that Mm
nesota had the ghost of- a chance.
Merrily the Winnipeggers whiled
away the afternoon and gave no
thought to the possibility of defeat.
They had been jollied to death and
really wondered why the race should !
be rowed at all. They thought the
judges might simply hand them the
medals and give them the race.
There -was really no use in wasting
the time to row it, the Minnesotas
were so easy, "you know." But Mm
nesota went in there with an air
of determination and rowed the Can-
adians down in one of the handsom- I
est contests ever seen on the course. I
Nor was this all. The surprise was I
still lingering in the minds of the |
people when another and still more
surprising one followed fast on its
heels. The junior singles contained
the name of Tom Walsh, one of the
fast men from Rat Portage. He, too,
was given the race before it 'was
rowed. It was a cinch. No matter I
who rowed against him, Walsh was <
a sure winner. There was no entry
against him when it came down to
scratch, but at the last moment
Leavitt Corning, as game an oars-
man as ever stepped into a shell,
threw off his coat and went after >
Walsh. He put up one of the -gamiest !
struggles ever seen on the lake, and '
gave Tom Walsh some pointers how •
to row. When he finished fully a j
length and a half in front of the man
from Rat Portage there was a
SHOUT OF GLEE
that could have been heard at Way- I
zata it was so genuine and hearty. i
So that the Minnesotas who went in j
the day's racing without the ghost '
of a chance to win took the only two J
events in which they were entered. j
The Britishers were so bubbling over ;
with smiles of magnanimity and ;
compassion that it did the Minne- J
sota boys a whole lot of good to go I
in there and mow down the boasters, i
That Winnipeg senior four broke the [
record at Saratoga this summer.
They were beaten by the champr'ons
of American by only three feet. They !
in turn were beaten by Minnesota a |
length and a half of clear water,
i which demonstrates to the satisfac- i
tion of everybody that the Minne- !
sota four is the fastest four in Amer- !
ica. '.-';
And so John Gait exclaimed when i
he saw with surprise the remarkable j
feat accomplished by the Minneso- '
tans. His eyes bulged out and his {
face took on an expression of dumb
amazement as he stood on the prow '
of the St. Louis and saw his men I
rowed down.
"Minnesota has the fastest four in
America," he exclaimed to Starter
Jack Parker, and that gentleman
thanked the famous patron of row
ing, and sacrificing the dignity of
his position fon an instant, yelled
with the gusto of a Comanche In-
dian. He was delighted beyond the |
power of words to express.
The men of the red and blue sim- I
ply stuffed their hands into their
trousers pockets" and walked away j
with the mute eloquence of the Ca
nadian in the anguish of defeat in
the face of certain victory. *,* l-V X,
Duluth had entered in the senior
four the same crew which won the
junior four on Friday, but the crew
kept up only part of the way. At
the mile the bow suddenly gave way
and fell back in the boat in a dead
faint, while No. - 3 busied himself
throwing water on the prostrate
form of the bow who had more than
he could stand in two days. It was
a game young crew, but It couldn't
stand the pace set by Minnesota in
that fast contest with -Winnipeg.
The crowds were larger"'" by far
than on Friday, and the lake was
dotted with a myriad of craft of all
descriptions.- The Saucy Kate had
met with an accident and the judges
therefore found quarters on the St.
Louis. Starter 'Parker cleared the
course a fe-g.-irrtliutes before 6 o'clock,

I and after seeing the three fours well
j on their way down to the starting
point, he steamed away in pursuit.
In the ''drawing Winnipeg got the
outside, Duluth the middle and Mm
nesota the inside nearest the island.
In a minute by the watch Starter
j Parker had them lined up hand
[ somely, and when the prows of the
three shells were exactly even up, he
gave the word. Minnesota caught
the water first, then Winnipeg shot
away with the speed of a rocket,
and there was a cry: "Winnipeg
wins in a walk." The yell was
premature. It was seen that Duluth
had steered off her course, and was
rapidly closing in on Minnesota.
A FOUL WAS INEVITABLE.
The cries to Duluth to beware were
unheard, at least unheeded, and at the
approach to Wheeler's Point the shells
came together and stoped. Winnipeg
kept right on, and would have rowed
to the finish line had they not been
recalled by the hoarse whistle of the
St. Louis. Starter Parker called the
three shells to the side of the steamer.
Referee Gait had determined to dis-
qualify Duluth for that palpable foul-
ing of Minnesota, but the adherents of
Minnesota and Winnipeg asked that he
be not so severe. yV V*V'
"What have you to say about that
foul, Minnesota?" he asked of young
Bend, the bow of the Minnesota four.
"I claim that Duluth was in my
course," he replied. VV"V.
"And what do you say, Duluth?" he
asked quickly. y v: .-Vy
"That Minnesota was in my water,"
he answered. The answer was incor
rect, as everybody knew, but Gait was
lenient, and gave the three crews in-
structions to line up for another start.
It was clever of Gait to allow Duluth
to row again, for the foul was too
palpable. Quickly the shells were
lined up and sent away to a beautiful
start. Winnipeg was away first, with
the same rapid short stroke they start-
ed off with before. Minne ota was
right after them with a long, beefy
stroke. Nearing Wheeler's point, Mm
nesota was going at a corking clip,
forty-one to the minute. Winnipeg
was on even terms, and Duluth held
well up within half a length of the
others. Her crew was rowing splen
didly, and it was thought the Duluth,
after all, would make the others hustle,
but it was only a false alarm. Passing
| the point, the two crews were on even
terms, with Duluth coming well, but
evidently tiring. When the point .was
passed Minnesota was in a good po
sition, and, steering well, got' on a
line with the finishing stake. It
showed good head.
Right here the two crews were stem
and stem, and for a minute or more
gave an exhibition of fine racing that
is never surpassed anywhere. The ex-
citement along the course was intense
and aboard the St. Louis when the
Minnesota admirers saw that they had
a splendid chance to win, the excite-
ment knew no bounds. Half-way down
Minnesota was going at forty, and was
leading Winnipeg by a full open length.
Duluth was still close at hand, but
suddenly the bow was seen to let up,
throw his hand over his face, then
fall heavily back in the boat. Duluth
was out of it, and the steamers passed
on with no further thought for the un-
fortunate men, for the race in front
WAS GETTING HOTTER
every instant. Winnipeg seemed to be
gaining slightly, but all at once Mm
nesota was seen to draw steadily
away from the Canadians, and then
there was a shout that could have been
heard the length of the lake. Nearing
the finish, Minnesota was leading by
half a length. Both crews were row-
ing beautifully, but the long, beefy
stroke of the Minnesotas was too much
for the short, snappy stroke of the
Canadians.
Winnipeg put on her last spurt and
drew up within a quarter of a length
of Minnesota when suddenly the latter
| got in their little spurt and simply
! walked away from the hard-fisted Ca
. nadians making the lead a full length
I of open water. Right near the line
■ the Minnesotas spurted again and in-
creased the lead to a full length and
a half of open water, and in this way
they .finished, .Winnipeg struggling
1 along after and finishing a little dis
tance out of their course. Time, 9:32.
The time is remarkably good when
it is considered that the race was
rowed against a stiff wind and the sea
was choppy. Dan Murphy, the foxey
trainer of the Winnipeggers, had an-
ticipated rough weather and had put
on. splash boards, but the splash
boards cut no figure; neither did any-
thing else. The Winnipeggers were
simply rowed down and it was the long
beefy stroke that did it. It was the"
same stroke that won the final event,
which went to Leavitt Corning. -
It was fast growing dark and Starter
Parker hurried on the senior doubles;
There was but one entry, that of Long
John Hackett and Dcs Brisay, of Rat
Portage. These entered their shell and
rowed over the course alone on time
and demonstrated to the satisfaction
of all that they are the fastest double
in this or any other country. They
gave an exhibition of perfect sculling
and went from start to finish with the
precision and steadiness of mechanism.
Time, 9:33. The water was very rough
at the time and the time is remarkably
fast. -''A-xyy.- - ■ -.A-,
The stars were twinkling in the sky
when Starter Parker called the junior
singles. He could hardly see the men
till the St. Louis crept close to them
and then he found them eager to get
away. The only two entries were Tom
Walsh, of Rat Portage, and Leavitt
Corning, of Minnesota, j Bufflngton
had rowed in the senior four and could
hardly make the effort against Walsh.
The judges were anxious to make a
race and finally Corning agreed at the
last moment to go in. He didn't expect
to win, of .course, but he would row
over the course at all events just to
please the crowd. Fancy the young
man going in under such conditions
and then winning out even with Walsh.
STRAINING EVERY NERVE r -
and muscle to win. "If Corning will
row," said a Minnesotan on the
steamer, he will give that fellow a
race and at least make him know that
he has been in it." There was a burst
of laughter from a few Canadians who
stood near, but the laugh soured and
turned into a gurgle of misery when
Corning made a show of Walsh and
rowed a beautiful race.
At the word, Walsh was off like a
rocket, as the other Canadians had
gotten away, before him only to die out
at the finish.. Corning was a little
slow in catching the "water* but before
a dozen strokes had been rowed he
was two . feet *in front of Walsh and
still 'gaining.' r He continued >to gain
and when Wheeier*s"*point was reached
he had increased the distance between

GROWING IN PUDLIC ESTEEM.
GROWING IN PUBLIC ESTEEM.
The Ex-Secretary Declares He Is
Not Himself a Candidate for
Nomination.
. NEW YORK, Aug. 10.— William C.
Whitney was interviewed at Bar Harbor
bor by a World correspondent on
the presidential question today, and
talked freely. He said: 'y^y.-1
: "In the selection of the next nor
n for president I propose to take
an active part, but I am not a can-
didate myself."
"No man has ever refused a nor
n tendered by a national con-
vention," suggested the correspond-
ent. XX%
• "No one has been nominated for
president against his own wish,"
said Mr. Whitney.
"Did you take the gossip about a
possible third term for Mr. Cleve-
land seriously?" the correspondent
asked. -.;!•'-; . .
"I know absolutely nothing about
Mr. Cleveland's intentions," said Mr.
Whitney. "You can state very
strongly my opinion if you* like, that
in the next twelve months Mr. Cleve-
land will grow in public esteem. He
is now necessarily the only bulwark
against Republican extravagance in
congress, and I think he will make
a record of it. As for the third term,
I can only say this: If you went
among Democrats of the country and
could ask every Democratic voter
whom he preferred for president,
wholly apart from any considera
tions of the feasibility or propriety of
a third term, I think a majority of
them would tell you that they pre-
ferred Mr. Cleveland to any other
man as president. I cannot conceive
that anything, except perhaps a
practically unanimous wish, would
induce him again to be a candidate,
although in my judgment he is more
popular today than he ever was."
EVENTS BRING THE MEN.
"As to the other candidates?".
"Events before the next • twelve
were falling, and the Republican party
sion brings the man. Mr. Cleveland
was himself the most striking instance
of that. I think the condition of the
Democratic party in the whole coun-
try today is remarkably strong-
stronger than it has ever been since
the war." V' V< ;•..-_-. ■"
"Why?" yzr>i%
"Because for the first time since the
war it has a record to stand on. It
has done something. In spite of an ex-
tremely high tariff, public revenues
months will develope them. The occa-
had proved itself absolutely Irresponsi
ble for its extravagance. The so-called
prosperity of the country was fostered
by a tariff which granted ' enormous
profits in spots, and at the same time
stifled general competition and re-
pressed individual enterprises. The
Cleveland administration met the crisis
which the Republicans had evaded.
The Republicans created the difficulties
and the Cleveland administration has
solved them."
WATTERSON SAYS SO.
The People Do Not Want a Third-
Term President.
.Detroit; Mich., Aug. 10.-Col.
Henry Waterson, of Louisville, Ky.,
was in th© city today. In an interview
on general political topics, he said:-"I
have no idea. President Cleveland con-
siders the idea of another nomination,
but If by any concatenation of miracles
Mr. Cleveland should be the nominee,
he would not carry a county in the
United States.- There never was a
braver, more gallant little -band than
the immortal 306 who stood for Grant
in that historic convention at Chicago,
and when, they failed of success, it
was written, never to be erased, that a
third term is repugnant to the people
of the United States. Cleveland, I re-
peat, would not carry a single precinct
of the country." '

Representatives of the Two
Roads Discuss It.
Special to the Globe. -'■'■-
NEW YORK, Aug. 10.— Attorneys
and others representing the Northern
Pacific and " Great Northern railroads
met today at the offices of J. P. Morgan
& Co. to discuss the proposed alii- I-
ance of those properties, and, if pos- I
sible, devise some way of getting g
around the legal difficulties. The laws
of the states through which the rail-
road is run prohibit the consolidation
of parallel lines. It was believed that
Chairman E. D. Adams, of the reor
ganization committee of the Northern
Pacific, would give a definite answer as
to whether the interest that he repre- I
sents would consent to the latest sug- I
gestions of President Hill, of the" j
Great Northern. Mr. Adams, however,
said after the conference, that no con- j
elusion was reached. . Mr. Hill's plan,
among other things, provides for the
organization of a . third company,
which shall own a controlling interest j
in both companies, and It is said that
he had the approval of Mr. Morgan.
But in order not to antagonize the
Western state legislatures, it is neces- I
sary to proceed with great caution and
keep within legal restrictions. Another
conference will be held Monday, when
it is likely that some definite conclu
sion will be reached. It is reported j
that Mr. Hill's plan will probably; be
adopted with but few changes. - ' X

"speech on Armenia, the celebration j
by the Germans of the war of 1870-71 I

• are being urged to take immediate j

brief are regarded as a slap at Lord j
Rosebery and a pat on the back for J
Lord Salisbury. The . enthusiastic !
manner in which the German vie- j

is bringing forth many a growl from !

"appeal for harmony" is not calcu- j
lated to bring about the desired re- j
sult.according to "well informed Irish- :
men, as he wound it up with a hot at- i
tack on T. M. Healy which is hard- !
ly calculated to restore harmony in '
the ranks of the Irish National party, ]

ably confined exclusively to the elec- !
tion of a speaker. Both houses meet i

the clerk of the commons, will re- j
pair to the house of lords, where j
they will hear the royal commission i
read. On returning ■to the house of

tion of speaker will occur, and the

Tuesday and Wednesday will be de-
voted to swearing in the members,
and the queen's speech will be read

labor party report of the recent elec
tions Secretary Tom Mann states
that the members of that party are
more than satisfied with the result
of the elections. The labor party was
only founded in 1893, and yet got an
aggregate vote of 44,321. This is de
clared to be a splendid beginning.
GLADSTONE ON ARMENIA.
Rev. George C. Lorrimer, D. D., of
Boston, Mass., pastor of Tremont
Temple, who is now in this city on a j
vacation, was invited to lunch with I
Mr. Gladstone, who asked has visitor
4<"> accompany him to the Armenian
Sheeting^ at Chester on Tuesday
last. •: After the luncheon Dr. Lorri-
mer had a couple of hours' conversa
tion with Mr. Gladstone in the lat
ter's library. They discussed the va
rious aspects of the Armenian ques
tion, Mr. Gladstone laying the great-
est weight on the co-operation of the
! United . States 'in the \ matter. Mr.
Gladstone said: "I am desirous of
having America specially interested
in the work of Armenian reform.
| Whenever England has had deal
ings with the sultan his government
thinks it is actuated by some ulterior
; motive. But _as America occupies |
so Independent a position, and is so
far removed from the seat of Eu
ropean politics, | its ' public opinions
will have great influence in the
East." ■'. '
' '; Dr. Lorrimer Informed a represent-
ative of the Associated Press that
Mr. Gladstone spoke these words '
with considerable feeling, and the
Boston divine remarked: "No one
could fail to he convinced that the
j stories of Armenian outrages have
moved. Mr. Gladstone deeply." Dr. ,
Xorrimer was much impressed with

and fire. The deep animation during

The~~ correspondence between a '

oh Armenia,*! was published today.
The iifTiher' accused Mr.'-; Gladstone
of ; "uttering 'statements' based upon '■
hearsay evidence ajohe, which ' the I
Turk claimed is' getting the Eastern i
people at enmity with each other,
causing much bloodshed, raising po
litical disputes, . and withholding
from the Turks liberty and progress.
Khahil Khalid adds:' "It is little
worthy of you, who have won a
name as a great man, to persist in
abusing individuals and a race mere-
ly because they are Mohammedans."
Mr. Gladstone on . Thursday last
replied to the Turk, saying: "I make
no charge against the Turks at large
but against the Turkish government
I I make charges of which they have
been proved guilty by public author-
ity. In my opimnon I have been a far
better friend of the Ottoman empire
than the sultan and his advisers. I
have always recommended the
granting of reasonable powers and
local self-gcvemmenlt. This good
advice was spurned and in conse
quence Turkey lost 18,000,000 of peo
ple, and may lose more. Pray weigh
these words."

Pole was by far the most interesting
feature of the recent international
geographical congress, in conversa

"The only thing they claim is that I
shall be unable to steer the carriage.
Let me tell you that I have tried the
steering apparatus over field and moun-

I am intensely concerned in the in-
terest which America has always
taken in Arctic expeditions. No coun-

sacrifices in order to accomplish this
important scientific event." Paul dv
Chaillau also expressed himself In
favor of the balloon route and remark

NEW YORK, Aug. 10.— The condi
tion of the anthracite coal trade
' shows no signs of improvement, and
i the individual operators are inclined
; to believe that if affairs are allowed
I to drift much longer the complete
demoralization of the coal industry
will follow. The market is over-
, stocked with the accumulated out-
' put, and if the production goes on at
j the same pace as during the past
I few months it is said the industry
' will meet with a serious setback, and
i prices will be lowered to such a ruin-
I ous figure 'that many of the coal com-
j panics will be driven to ; the " wail.
■ i The individual operators, realizing
' the gravity of - the | situation, and
j having considered the refusal of the
j coal-carrying roads to limit the sup
! ply of anthracite coal, have decided,
j it is said, to place 1,000,000 tons of
I coal on the market at a valuation of
$2 a ton, in order to force the carriers
to. place some restrictions upon the
excessive output. The local coal op-
erators, however, hold that the car-
riers could not be influenced by any
such move on the part of individual
■ operators, and say that it is not like-
ly tiiat such a plan would be adopt-
cd. . y'* -
In speaking of -the condition of the
j coal trade, a local operator said the
I business would be eventually ruined
I unless the coal-carrying companies
entered into an agreement to limit
I the output, which, at the present
time, lis much greater than ever be
, fore. He stated that the excess in
j production had brought about the
present condition of affairs, and as
long as the production exceeds the
demand the prices must seek a lower
level. The railroads, he contended,
were partly to blame for the matter,
and, unless the trade difficulties are
speedily adjusted, the degeneracy of
the coal business must follow. The
combined output of the collieries, he
said, was about 5,000,000 tons of an-
thracite per month, which is equal to
60,000,000 tons for the year. All that
is needed for consumption is about
3,000,000 tons per month, which
shows that the country could get
along on a yearly output of from
36,000,000 to 40,000,000 tons, The coal
sales agents, he said, were also to
blame for the existing trade difficul-
ties, as few of them cared to abide
by their agreements, and did not
hesitate to violate the contracts
made with one another. .
"There is not a single interest that
is making money by the operation,"
he continued, "but, on the other hand,
the companies are sinking money every
day. From now on until the trade is
rehabilitated, it will be a question of
how much money can be lost. Sev
i eral of the operators have realized
this, and some of the colleries^ have
been closed down. ' As long as the agi
tation continues buyers will hold off
with the hope of getting cheaper coal,
their argument being .that prices will
go still lower if the differences are not
adjusted. Few of the companies are
taking orders for' deliveries beyond
Sept. lat current prices. This precau
tion is being taken for the reason that
no one cares to lay in a big supply of
coal only to see the prices go sliding
off again, as this would 'mean no end
of financial loss. There seems to be
no fixed price, and all orders are being
shipped on terms subject to cancella
tion at any time."
Another individual operator said he
thought efforts would made to re-
habilitate the coal trade, as matters
could not continue in the same condi
tion much longer. He said that alf in-
terests realize that something must be
done to save the trade from inevitable
bankruptcy.

In view of the fact that consider.
In view of the fact that consider-
able prominence has been given to
the pension case of Jerry Pembrooke,
of this city, during the past few days,
a Globe reporter called at the
gentleman's residence, 273 Kent
street, last night to learn from his
own lips the entire story of his pen-
sion affairs. Mr. Pembrooke, who is
a man seventy-four years of age and
r hardly able to get about, was at
first very much averse to saying
anything for publication, saying that
the matter went into the newspapers
without his knowledge or consent
in the first instance, and that he was
, opposed to any notoriety. But when
assured that nothing was desired ex-
cept a true statement of the case he
. finally consented to give his whole
record. Mr. Pembrooke briefly gave
the Globe the following narrative:
"I entered the war when nearly forty
years of age and in'lß62 was discharged
from service for disabilities incurred.
I suffered from partial loss of sight,
rheumatism and a rupture. I re-
turned to Ottawa county, Illinois, then
my home, and made application for a
pension. In 1870 this was allowed and
I received $4 a month, drawing about
$700 in all. One of the examining
surgeons in the town, - who wanted a
big fee to get the papers through, took
a hand in the case and finally sue-
ceeding in having my pension stopped.
The original application was made on
the sole grounds of loss of sight.
"The opposing man sent on a state-
ment that I had suffered from bad eyes
before I enlisted and that seemed suf
ficient to have the pension stopped. I
kept on in my efforts to have it re-
newed and forwarded about fifty affi-
davits to the department showing the
contrary. Among these was. one from
the examining surgeon who passed me
into the service, one from Maj. Munn,
of my regiment, and -from the second
lieutenant of my company. A special
examiner by. the name of. Geddes was
sent 0n... He, however, in spite of the
: affidavits secured i in .my . favor, j** must
have made an adverse report, for the
pension was not renewed at that time.
The case dragged along and more cvi-
dence was called for, and in 1890 Com-
missioner Raum finally allowed my
claim and I was awarded a pension of
$12 a month. But attached to the papers
was a notice that I must refund the
money previously allowed and that no
money wouid be paid me until this
amount had been made up, so that I
never received a dollar until July, 1895,
when I drew $37.
"In the transmission of the papers
and money an error was made and my
pension was sent to Minneapolis in-
stead of St. Paul. I was urged to see
Col. Bevans about it and have him
look up the delay. I took my papers
to his office, and left them there. -The
next thing I knew was the publication
of the story in the Pioneer Press. I want
to say that I know Commissioner
Lochren personally and had a talk with
him on the case some time ago. But it
has never been before him in any man-
ncr and to say that he is responsible
for the matter is doing him an injus
tice. The case was adjudicated under
the Arthur administration by Commis
sioner Raum and no one else. I be-
lieve I am entitled to all of the pen-
sion. Had it not been for hostile men
in the earlier years I would have re-
ceived it all these years.
"I hope that you will let the matter
rest now," said Mr. Pembrooke in
closing, "as I do not want any more
notoriety than I can help. lam an old
and a poor man and do not want to
find myself making enemies in my last
years."
