ijL CORNELL CREWS WIN Ithacans-Finish First in All the Intercollegiate Re gatta Event s WISCONSIN IS SECOND Badgers Are Hit-lit Behind Winning Shell in the 'Varsity and Fresh man Races—Xont of lite . Records Ii» Touched. POUGHKEEPSIE, N. V., June 21.—Cor nell won all three of the events in the In tercollegiate association^ regatta today. The four-oared race was easy work for her, but in both the freshmen and 'varsity eights she was so closely pressed that she really had to win them in the last half mile by a display of reserve force which none of the other crews cculd bring to bear. The summary follows: - Four-oared race, two miles — Cornell first by five lengths. Time, 10:43 3-5. Pennsylvania second by three and a half length:*. Time, 10:54 4-5. Columbia third. Time. 11:08. i Freshmen eight-oared race, two miles —Cornell first by two and three-fourths lengths. Time, 9:34 4-5. Wisconsin sec ond by two and a half lengths. Time, 9:42 4-5. Columbia third by one and one half lengths. Time, 9:49. Syracuse fourth by four lengths. Time, 9:53. Pennsyl vania fifth. Time. 10:05. 'Varsity eight-oared race, four miles- Cornell first by three lengths. Time, 19:C5 3-5. Wisconsin second by one and one-half lengths. Time, 19:13 2-5. Colum bia third by one and three-fourths lengths. Time, 19:18 3-5. Pennsylvania fourth by three-fourths length. Time, 19:2*». Syracuse fifth by two feet. Tim-3, 19:31 2-5. Georgetown sixth. Time, 19:32. Swept the Hudson. Cornell this afternoon won the greatest triumph of her history in boating. The 10... cans literally swept the Hudson, win ning all three events in the Intercollegiate regatta, the 'varsity, the freshmen and the four-oared races. In each race the crewj. coached by Charles Courtney, had to fight all the way from start to finish for victory, La enly one of the three races did the Itracans dare at any time to let down on their speed. The Wisconsin boys won the second honors of the day and to them belongs great credit for the splendid fights which they made in the 'varsity and freshmen races, in both of which events they fin ished strong second to the Ithacans. In all three races ColumDia finished third. In the four-oared, Pennsylvania was second, but in the 'varsity race the Quakers finished in fourth place and in the freshman race they were fifth. The University of Syracuses beat the Quakers out for fourth place in the freshman e\cnt and in the 'varsity Syracuse fought Geoifeetown out in the last few lengths, beating the boys from Washington by less i ban a yard at the finish line. In vi-ne of the races-were the records touched; but in all three events the times were not far above the fastest that have been lade on this course. Big Crowd Braved Bain. Despite the clouds and rain a crowd came to see the races. All through the morning it seemed as though postpone ments would be necessary, but as the hour for the first race of the day drew near, the wind diet- away and gradually the sun fought its way through a nasty gray sky. The races were all rowed under splendid conditions, the crews had a fair wind with them and a ripping tide to help them on. Courtney says that his 'varsity eight had power enough to have lowered the record of 18:531-5 made by Cornell a year ago if his crew had only been harder pressed. The Ithacans now make public the fact I that a week ago they came within four seconds of the record and that they are j sure they would have done even better : this afternoon if they had had to fight a little harder on the last mile. They admit that the freshman race was a surprise, but they say they were confident of win ding the four-oared event. The Badgers, plucky as usual, make n£> complaint. They are satisfied mat the fastest eight won in both the 'varsity and the fresh man events, while* Columbia is thor oughly satisfied with the showing made by her light crews. . The New Yorkers did not expect to win the 'varsity race; they were doubtful at out the freshman race, but they did believe they would win the four-oared and perhaps would have done so, but for the breaking of an oar lock. The Quakers have little to say. Penn sy's most conservative admirers did not expect a much better result, and they have no excuses to make. The George town boys were greatly disappointed in the 'varsity race, for last night they were betting that they would whip Columbia. The 'Varsity Race. Tin- story of the big 'varsity race Is the record of a hard struggle for all six crews for four long miles. For almost a mile the long graceful shells were lap ped in the struggle. Over the second mile Cornell began to gather her lead, but Columbia hung to Wisconsin for second place with a deadly grip, while George town was almost nose and nose with the New Yorkers, with Pennsylvania and Syracuse only a few* feet behind. This was the order of the boats right up to the last half mile, where Penn sylvania spurted and finally Syracuse jumped ahead of Georgetown only a few yards from the finish. Over the last two miles of the race Cornell widened the gap between her and the Badgers little by little, but twice the boys from Wisconsin spurted and pulled the Ithacans back. Columbia hung to Wisconsin up to the three-mile flag and even at the beginning of the last half mile Wisconsin was leading the New York boat by only a length and a half. Georgetown held fourth place in the race up to the last half mile, when the Quakers pulled away. The Washington hoys struggled hard, but finally dropped "back to sixth and last place in the strug gle. Crews Get Away in Good Style. It was almost 6 o'clock when Referee John Eustis asked the 'varsity men if they were ready and fired his pistol. All six crews got - away ln good style, but the Cornell boat soon began to creep ahead. At the end of the first eighth of a mile Cornell had a lead of ten feet over Wis consin, while the other fourshells were Eig-zagging alongside of the Badgers' coxswain. At the end of the quarter mile tho Ithacans had their shell a go^.d qi.arter of a boat length ahead of the Badgers. It was a race to warm up the most cold blooded. From the long observation train a curious medley of cheers broke the stillness of the Hudson, and reverberated among the hills. Cornell and Wisconsin were wild with excitemen*, while Colum bia was delighted with the way in which her crew was fighting for the lead. At the end of the first half mile the six shells had begun to assume final relative positions in the race, which could now easily be measure 1 off. Cornell waa leading by three-quarters of a boat length : over Wisconsin, while Columbia, was a bare quarter of a length behind the Bad gers. Georgetown, Pennsylvania and Syracuse were pulling in the order nam ed, with only a few feet separating the »oses of their shells. Correll Settles Down, Cornell had started into the race at a 34 stroke, and so nad Georgetown and Syracuse. "Columbia and Pennsylvania both started at 37, while Wisc3nsin row ed 36 strokes to the minute for the first quarter of a mile. At the end of the first half mile Cornell had settled down to a 32 gait and so had Syracmv George town had raised ncr stroke one point and so had Wisconsin. The Badgers were row rowing S7 strokes to the minute while Columbia and Perm- ' sylvania had each dropped from 37 to 35. --..- : f ■ ../.i • - y_ .._ v Cornell's boat was running beautifully between strokes and so was .Wisconsin's, but the Badgers were using morempower to get their speed.: 'The New Yorkers were doing* better than anyone had ex pected, while Pennsylvania wa3 doing a great deal. **""Georgetown's big crew • was slugging it and so was Syracuse. - At the end of the first mile Wisconsin had cut down Cornell's lead by half ■ a length, and the Ithacans weer barely a quarter of a length in the lead.* Colum bia had dropped a half length more be hind Wisconsin. Georgetown was a half length behind Columbia, with Pennsylva nia ten feet in the rear, and Syracuse a half length behind. The Ithacans had plainly settled into . their pace, and were still rowing at; 32. Wisconsin had dropped her stroke down a point, and so had Pennsylvania and Georgetown. Columbia and » Syracuse were still holding the same gait they had struck at the'end of the first n*_Tf mile. **■.-; £j*?.' r> •?^V On the Next Half Mile. *" ' " Over the next half mile Cornell began to make up what she had lost. Little by little the Ithacans pulled away from the Badgers until they were leading by a full length. Columbia clung to Wisconsin without losing a foot, while Georgetown, Pennsylvania and Syracuse were once more almost even. The Badgers drop ped their stroke down another point, and were now rowing at 35. Columbia put hers down to 34. Pennsylvania raised hers to 35 and Georgetown put hers up two notches to 36. Cornell and Syracuse were still clinging to 32. • v. The Badgers were still 'ready to bet that they would win the "race, and their hopes leaped up again as their crew, row ing at two points lower per minute, - pass ed the two-mile flag, with Cornell bare ly seven-eighths of a length to the good. The same distance separated the Wis consin and Columbia boats." " Two and a half lengths behind .Columbia, George town, Syracuse and. Pennsylvania were still nip and tuck. Half a mile further on the Ithacans were a length and a half in the lead. Columbia was still clinging to Wisconsin, while the other three eights had all pulled up a good length on the New Yorkers. •' -. At the Three-Mile Flag. At the three-mile flag the race seemed to be over. for. Cornell was now two lengths ahead. Columbia had dropped back to a length and a quarter behind the Badgers and three good lengths sep arated the New Yorkers from the last three crews in the race.. But the Badgers were not yet whipped. Once more they spurted and once more they cut down Cornell's lead by a quarter of a length before the Ithacans had reached the three-and-a-half-mile flag. There was more power, however, left in the Cornell boat, and the Ithacans simply Isugh-d at the Badgers and then let out for the finish. .-. ■ ■-. ... . Cornell finished three good lengths ahead of Wisconsin, A length and a half separated the Wisconsin and Columbia boats, while the Quakers were neatly two lengths behind the New 'Yorkers. Syracuse was not more than fifteen feet behind Pennsylvania, and Georgetown was less than a yard behind Syracuse. The Freshman Race. In the freshman race Cornell got the lead at the start and never once lo3t it. For the first half mile Syracuse made a splendid fight for second place, but be fore the end of the mile Wisconsin had pulled into second place. Syracuse was in fourth and Columbia in fifth pace. All five boats were lapped, and it was not until the last half mile of the race that there was open water between any of the shells. Over the last mile Cornell and Wisconsin fought it out for first place, but the Ithacans gradually pulled away from the Badgers. Co:umb:a jumped upon Syracuse on the last half mile and beat out the Syracuse boys by a length and a b-flf for third place. The Quakers remained in fifth place from be ginning to end in this race, and at the finish were four lengths behind Syra cuse. In the 'varsity four-oat*! race Penn sylvania took the lead at the start with Cornell a close second and Columbia in third place. The Ithacans , gradually pulled up even with the Quakers, and at the half-mile were leading by two boat lengths while Columbia was a length and a half behind the Quakers. Colum bia spurted, but soon fell back and the Ithacans jumped ahead length by length until they were five lengths ahead at the finish. There were three and a half lengths between Pennsylvania and Co lumbia. TALKERS KEEP ON TALKING. Seven Speeches on the Philippine Bill in the House. WASHINGTON, D.

PATH,, GLOBE, SUNDAY, JUNE 22, 1902, IN SPANKING BREEZE Jim Crack, Weirdling and Highlander Carry Off Hon ors at White Bear CAVITE BREAKS DOWN Accident Prevents Her From Mak ing a Close Finish "With Dres er's Boat in a Fourteen - .-■*■• Knot Wind. While the weather was a bit disagree able for most people yesterday, yet it was a good yacht racing day, and the boats of the White Bear Yacht club had plenty of w.-nd for their races off the club house at Dell wood. A strong breeze, blowing squally, twelve to fourteen knots an hour, frcm the northwest, held throughout the race, and the lee rails were awash. Highlander, Weirdling, Jim Crack and Blanca were the winners in their re spective classes. Fourteen boats started, of which thirteen finished. Most of the boats went out with one reef tucked away, and some even had two reefs with storm jib. It was a hard day on old riggings, which was instanced in several cases. Cavite was the first to suf fer with a mishap, and it. was sufficient to put her out of the going. After turn ing Wildwood buoy and entering on the third knot, her side stay gave way as she came into the wina, and as the break could not be readily repaired, Capt, Rees pulled out of the race. Jim Crack also had a little trouble with her jib. Unaine probably played in the hardest luck. After leading her class for six miles her jib support gave way on the return to center the second time. She fell back considerably while repairs were being, i made, losing the nice' advantage which j had been earned by hard work. Five Seventeen-Footers. The first class sent off by Starter Tar box were the seventeen-footers, of which there were five entered. It was a pretty contest to center. Avis having a slight lead, with Mooswa second and the others well up. The boats all jibed handily and immediately set spinnakers on the free run to Wildwood. Jim Crack moved up rapidly, taking „rst place, and showed a clean pair of heels at the Wildwood mark. Next came Avis, then Nausett, Mooswa and Monedo in the order named. Young Ordway kept his boat in the lead for the balance of the course. The fight for second place honors was keen throughout. All the boats, with the exception of the leader, turned the fourth knot in a bunch. After this point Monedo and Nausett pulled away from the other two, ana after some sharp work Nausett pushed across the line second, thirty-three sec onds in front of Monedo. Jim Crack won by two minutes and thirty-seven seconds. There were four starters in the open class, Cavite, Weirdling, Spindrift and Aloha. Weirdling was first over the line at gun fire, with Cavite right up. Aloha was a minute slow in starting. Down to center Cavite and Weirdling sailed side by side, and on the free run to Wildwood j they were still neck and neck. On turn ing the Wildwood mark Cavite broke her side stay, which compelled her to stand off, and spoiled what promised to be a close contest. Weirdling's lead on the other boats was' increased constantly throughout the race, and she won by nearly five minutes, Spindrift second, and Aloha third. Aloah was undermanned and her jib drew badly, but a lighter breeze would suit her better. Royal Battle in Class A. The three boats in class A fought a i battle royal. Undine lead from the sound of the gun up to the sixth mile, and it seemed as though she was at last to be rewarded with a victory, but the uncer tainty of yachting and the unreliability of rigging, presented itself to Capt. Clark son very forcibly at this point. In a jiffy her jib gave way, and although Capt. Clarkson worked rapiuly to repair tha break, the heavy sea pounded him hard and he drifted somewhat out of his course. Before the break was repaired victory had been snatched away, as the Highlander, which was sailing well up, immediately shot into me lead and kept It until the finish. Undine and Minne zitka sailed side oy side for the rest of the distance, Minnezitka crossing the line forty-eight seconds in front of Clarkson's boat. Highlander's time was one hour twenty-one minutes and twenty-seven seconds. Minnezitka's was one hour twenty-five minutes and six seconds, while Undine made the course in one hour twenty-five minutes and thirty-three seconds. Only two class C boats were sent away on the six-mile course. Blanca, last year's Champion, led from start to finish, win ning by the big margin of eleven min utes from Nip. Summary of Races.

WYETH WINS DERBY Continued From First Page. flying leaders and by this time Aladdin had taken third place, closely attended by Belle's Commoner. Wyeth had moved up from last place and had passed Prowl, Pentecost, Lord Quex, Lucien Appleby, Hermis and Arsenal. When half the dis tance^, of the raid; had been completed Heno and Otis had a commanding lead and showed no sign of tiling. Belle's Commoner and Wyeth i were the nearest attendants although Aladdin was still up and on the rail, Coburn apparently preferring to drop ■ back to fifth place rather than hustle his horse with half the race to be run. ,;-: Down the Back Stretch. There was no change in the order down the back stretch, but when a full mile had been completed Bullman seemed to think the time had come for him to make the; run with Heno. It was a poor piece of jockeyship. Heno, when let down, drew away from Otis, and went round the far turn, increasing his lead until fully three lengths in advance. Otis hung on gamely, and it was not long befc.-a Heno began to show signs of coming back. *." As they rushed round the last turn into the straight run for home, Heno had still the fore, •, holding first place, but the effort was costing him dearly, and already his stride was beginning to short en perceptibly. .■■ He ran on with bull dog courage, but could not shake off Otis, who had closed up r much of the gap the Eastern colt had opened around the turn. Belle's Commoner, Weyth and Aladdin now appeared to be running more strongly than the two leaders, and those who are quick to discern whin a race horse is approaching the beaten point raised a cry that neither Heno nor Otis would get any of the money. No sooner did it become plain that the .favorite really was ln distress than Otis also began to cry enough. With a fur long still to run, bcth were straight as a string, and It was plain neither could stay in front of the wire. Syne Starts Finish. Then it was that Lyne made his move on Wyeth. He let the colt down and the son of Warsforth and Fonse came away past the leaders with little ef fort, and 100 yards from the wire was hailed as the winner. Lyne kept him going, and at the same time had a lit tle in reserve in case some one of the others should come behind with a rusn. He was "watching for this, and saw Lu cien ApDleby and Aladdin coming fast to the finish, but all he had to do was to'keep his horse going., to stall off their I furious rush. Woods and Coburn were ; driving hard through the last sixteenth of a " mile, and they certainly got the most out of their Respective mounts, but it was not in LucierTAppleby and Aladdin to beat Wyeth, and he passed- under the wire a comfortable ; winner by almost ; two lengths. "OYY'Y'' ''" ' '*'*'" * Otis, despite the heavy weight he was carrying, ran on to the end in- the must resolute fashion, and'finished fourth, de- ' privlng Heno of the barren honor," but having the ' satisfaction of winning tha duel that he and the Eastern colt . nad fought out every inch of the journey over the full Derby course. It was a grand struggle between these two coirs, who were beaten by their own tremendous efforts, and were far from disgraced. It is no exaggeration to say that today's American Derby was the finest contest In the eyes of horsemen that has been see-* here since Boundless beat an equally large and high-class field In 1893. - .- -- The Summaries. 7 First race, mile, three-year-olds and upwards, purse Waln-a-Molnen. 102, Beauchamp, 2 to 1, won; Federal second, Jimlnez third."

Major Daingerfield continued to show the way to the first turn and into the back stretch.

CHINAMAN IS PROGRESSIVE. Is American by Birth and Draws Handsome Salary. Keep your eye on the Chinamen if you would learn how a conservative na tion can progress when given the liber ties of America. It was Robert Inger soll who threw out this suggestion in one of his; lectures on "Progress," given in this city shortly before his death, and it is George Dewey Fong who is now prov ing the orator's words. £*?%?? De»y Fong is a sixteen-year old Chinese boy, now residing in New York city, where, it is said, he draws a salary from a large wholesale tea and coffee firm of 17,000 a year. Instead of banking this money, as do most of his cautious countrymen, he is investing it in real estate. Young Fong is an American by birth, but both of his parents are Chinese. His oldest brother was the only Chinese of ficer in the British army during the South African campaign of last year. He did good work at the front, and is now en gaged on a book of a soldier's life in South Africa. Fong received a good education in the preparatory schools of California before he came East two years ago, settling at first in New Jersey, where he became a protege of ex-Gov.

"Elk teeth by the bushel are one of the chief assets which John Losekamp,ife of Billings, Mont., enumerates among his big fortune." said E. H. Hoskins, a Butts man, who is in Denver. "Losekamp keeps a general store at Billings and for many years it was his custom to trade supplies of one kind or another for elk teeth, which, by the way, were used for charms and amulets long before the Elks took them up as the em blems of their order. «a» "The action of the Colorado lodges in agreeing to wear no more elk teeth be cause the demand for the teeth caused a wholesale slaughter of elk, had a marked i effect in reducing the price. Other lodges i respected the motive, and quite a boycott on elk teeth was on for a year or more. It seems, however, they are in demand again. "Losekamp has been selling his at %2 apiece for ordinary teeth and getting fan cy prices for the -very best. His stock Is sufficient to supply the demand for years, but he makes no effort to sell them as he wants to leave them. as a part of his estate, believing they will increase in value faster than any other kind of prop erty."—Denver Post. _» USE PIGEON POSTOFFICE.

B BOOKS. . - Railroad Section Hand. Now a College President J*_^==S^*w HOUSTON, Tex., June 21.—Prof. 3. P. Brooks, who has Just been advanced to the presidency of Baylor university is the most recent man to furnish indisput able proof that there Is a chance for every American youth to get to the top of the ladder if he only has pluck and perseverance. Prof. Brooks is now under forty-five years of age, and to rise to his new po sition of prominence he has had some monstrous obstacles to overcome. Less than twenty years ago he was a member of one of the section gangs employed on the Santa Fe railroad. But he was trust worthy and diligent and abstemious in his habits. A small portion of his earnings was carefully laid aside. In the section house at night, and when prevented oy the weather from work on the roadbed, he spent his leisure in study and was util ized by the unambitious laborers as a kind of bureau of useful information. He was also a sort of supreme court, to whom all questions debated by the sec tion gang were appealed. By his reading and stuuy he fitted himself for a college course. He worked for the Santa Fe between Galveston and Brenham for about one year, during which' time the foreman nev er charged him for one hour's lost time. Another thing said of htm is that he nev er lost or broke an implement of any kind, and his spade was not only always in place, but as bright as a dollar and as sharp as it is necessary for a spade to be. At the end of his year's service with the Santa Fe rairoad, Brooks had saved ADJUST CUBAN TARIFF PRESIDE PUMA AND CABINET PREPARE A BILL Money Will Be Advanced to Sugar Planters and Premiums Given to Cattle Breeders—Action Is Sug gested Because It Is Feared Sen. ate "Hill Not Act Upon the Rec iprocity Measure This Session. HAVANA, June 2L—President Palma and his cabinet have decided on a plan which they hope will relieve the economic situation in the country. j A message will be sent to congress, I probably next week, for that body to pass upon, which sets forth the recom mendations of President Palma and the secretary of agriculture for the ameliora tion of the condition of affairs. This , measure calls for the ""expenditure of $3,500,000 to be distributed among the sugar growers and cattle raisers. Three millions is to be advanced to sugar plant ers at the rate of 50 cents an arroba, or 25 pounds; to be returned in two in stallments in February and March. To cattle breeders will be paid a premium of 15 for each cow imported for breeding purppses up to 100,000. Further than this, all such cattle will be admitted free of duty. There also is to be an increased tariff on many articles iported now under small duties to raise the money to be distributed. An Internal loan, secured by bonds, will be necessary. President Palma, in discussing the mat- I ter said: "We are afraid the senate will ! not act on the reciprocity question at this I session, and Cuba needs immediate help. There are thousands of men idle and the conditions are bad. We must take some steps to save the sugar industry and stimulate the cattle industry, which we hope to bring back to Its former pros perous condition. "The loan will be taken up in two years. We have worked day and night in the last month to Improve the prevailing con ditions. Sugar growers can secure no money from the banks for the coming crop, so that the government is com pelled to come *o their rescue by loaning them enough to raise next season's cane." KNOCKS OUT THREE-CENT FARE Circuit Court Rules Against Ma voir Johnson'- Proposed Company. CLEVELAND, Ohio, June 21.—The cir cuit court today granted a perpetual in junction against the construction of the so-called 3-cent fare street railway in this city. The court declared that the ordi nance granted by the city council to the promoters of the new company to build roads on at least three of the seventeen routes was invalid. _ t The court pointed out that the original ordinance called for bids of seventeen separate lines aggregating 75 miles ln length; that the council had granted a 1 franchise to the company for tines ag gregating thirteen miles, or covering only | i three of the proposed seventeen rout, and that possibly other bidders would | have been willing to carry passengers for less than 3 cents on a thirteen-mile road, while not caring to bid on the whole seventy-five miles. fe Y7 . The court also declared against the municipal ownership and arbitration clauses Included in the franchises as "unreasonable provisions." i ' Mayor Johnson is credited with being | enough money to pay his expenses for I one year in Baylor university, which he entered. His disposition and habits, his evident determination to make the most j of every opportunity* attracted the at , tention of President R. C. Burleson, the founder of Baylor In the days when j Texas was a republic, and who remained at the head of the school until it had j grown to be the chief sectarian institu tion of learning in the Southwest. He j talked with the young man, and learn ! Ed of his ambitions, and an arrangement ' was made by which Brooks was enabled I to get through his second session at the school.

Prof. Brooks now ranks easily among j the ripest scholars in the West. He Is a I fine speaker, and has won distinction as a j lecturer. He speaks rapidly, enunciates ■ distinctly and gesticulates with grace and | force. He is easy and dignified, and his eloquence at times is impassioned. There is a degree of self-forgetfulness and ear nestness in his style that causes his au dience to lose sight of the man entirely and become completely absorbed In the presentation of his theme.

There are indications that the uni l versity will advance more rapidly and ex ! tend Us Influence .more widely than at any time during the fifty years of its ex -1 istence. back of the 3-cent fare company.
