Loxpor, May 10, 1876, Mr. Frank Rees, of New York, now here in behalf of the American universities’ oarsmen, reports that the outlook for any arrangemont with either Cam- ‘ridge or Oxford, with a view of sending crews to the United States to meet American college repre- sentatives, is far from encouraging. He ts greatly afraid that all negotiations will fail of the desired end \ WHAT CAMBRIDGR OFFEES. Cambridge offers to send college crews, but not University or a representative crew. This Mr. Rees cannot accept and has so stated. < WHY CAMBRIDGE DECLINES, One very controlling reason why Cambridge de- tines is, that Mr. ©. D. Shafto will not crofs the Atlantic to row, and Cambridge refuses to accept Penrose or Rhodes for the important position of stroke in a university boat. OXPORD NOT ANXIOUS, Oxford still delays, and has not given Mr. Rees an answer. It is asclessto expect that, when it is made, it will be otherwise than one of respectful declination. There ts no hope that she will act other than Cambridge has done. 6 TRINITY ACCEPTS. Mr. Rees has the assurance that, in response to his invitation, Trinity, of Dublin, will send a crew to Saratoga. MR, REES’ EFFORTS. Every possible inducement was held ont by Mr. Rees to the committees from the untversitics. All that he insisted was that the oarsmen, if sent, should be representative university crews. They eould have everything else as thoy desired, and ‘there would be no restrictions or drawbacks. MR. KEES’ OFFERS. Asa proof of this Mr. Rees offered that the race should be “three miles or thirty; that it should be Towed in still or running water, either in the sum- mer or winter, and that its style might be either fours or forties,” anything to suit their wishes. In fact, he relinquished every point but the one named, Yet agill was unsuccessful. CREWS FOR PHILADELPHIA. Cambridge will send two college crews to Phila- delphia to take part in the Centennial Regatta on the Schuylkill and Oxford will send one crew to the mame place. UNIVERSITY ATHLETES COMING.

They were all ius(Pucted to wear their pistols on the lett side, so that they could | be quickly drawn, All the doors were guarded by the Police, so that in case any desperate man should fir shot there would be no possibility of his escape, and that an attempt at rescue of the pricouors, which some Persons have feared, would bo mere madness, Dotective McParlan occupied the witness stand at the opening of the Court. A desperate attempt was mado by counse! for the defence to place him in the light of an open informer, and to mako it appear that he instigated murders and agsisted in thesr execution, He | bas made such an apparent and deep impression on the | jury that to discrodit him is of the most vital importance | to the prisoners. The attempt was made to make him convict hunself of being concerned in the burning of breakers and coal cars during the strike of iast y: and with coinpiicity in several of the Moily Maguire murders; but ho met every question with such cloar explanation of his motives, and with proofs of his | constant communication with his chiel at Philadel- phia, andithe chiet of the coal and iron police, as to Fender the attempt A DRAD FAILURE. Ho finally left the stand, having m: impression on the jury, and no doubt having twist j the ropes for the necks of more than one of the fendanta. The general opinion is that he has done a Magnificent work, and t 18 not the slightest doubt Uhat ho is to-day ‘the most talked of and most popular man tn Schuylkill county.

As he is the Commonweaith’s main witness against a dozen or more of the chiof men of the Mollies he 1s carefully watched, and nover moves abroad without a body gaara, Before leaving the stand McParlan narrated how he CARRIND HIS LIVE IN MIS HANDS last Febranry, ‘The misfortunes that had come upon the soziety of the Motlica in the arrest of some ot tts prominent members when contrasted with the previons impanity with which crimes had beo: ted, made them think, and, in spite of MeParlat’s p was suspected of besny a detective, He beware of Jack Kehve, of Gtrardville, the county dele- gat the society, who was stirring up the membera against him. Concerying that a bold front was tho best policy, McParian went to Kehoe and demanded ‘tbat a county convontion be called so that he could get a trial Tho convention was called to meet in Shenandoah, and McParlan attended. He found somo of the roughest members of the Order prosent, but no preparations for the convention.

McParian went to see Fathor O'Conner, tho Catholic priest at Mahanoy Plano, and bad’ a conversation with him. The priest attacked the Molles, and McParlan defended them, | speaking in aloud tone of voice because he suspected & spy was listening, and 80 It passed, Had he failen in with tho sentiments of the priest, it was arranged to shoot him between the priest’s house and a certain sa- Jocn, His shrewd suspicion SAVED 19 LIFE.
