THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SATURDAY, JUNE §, 1895. 38 ENTERS THE CABINET, Judson Harmon Selected to Succeed Mr. Olney, ‘WHO BECOMES PREMIER. The Record of the Choice of President Cleveland for Attorney-General. IS KNOWN AS A “MUGWUMP.” In Ohlo He Is Regarded as an Inde- Pendent Democrat and a Reformer. WASHINGTON, D. C., June 7.—Presi- dent Cleveland this afternoon announced the following Cabinet appointments: Secretary of State Richard L. Olney of Massachusetts. Attorney-General, Judson Harmon of Cincinnati, Ohio. It was 5 o'clock when the President’s nominations became known. Olney’s pro- motion occasioned no surprise, but every- body asked, “Who is Harmon?” * Not many people seemed to have heard of such an individual. The Cincinnatians and Ohioans were consequently in great de- mand to-night by curious people wanting to know something about the new At- torney-General. It appears that Harmon isa Democrat of the mugwumb species. He wasa Republican before ana during the war, but in 1872 he flopped and sup- vorted Greeley, following Murat Halstead, who flopped also, but who has gone into the Republican party again. Harmon was not so fortunate, however, and he has ever since been a sort of inde- pendent Democrat, or mugwump. The Ohioans say he is a ‘“‘goody-goody’’ man, meaning that he is a reformer. He trains with the better element of Cincinnati Democrats. It is recalled now that in 1890 he persuaded Governor Campbell to de- mand the resignation of three Democratic members of the Board of Public Improve- ments of Cincinnati on the ground that they were corrupt. They refused to re- sign and at Harmon’s request Governor | Campbell called an extra session of the Legislature and the Board of Public Im- provements was abolished and the Board of City Affairs was created instead. Thus the city was rid of its three corrupt officials and Harmon was eulogized as a public benefactor by Cincinnatians. The following winter Harmon drew up & new charter for Cincinnati, and it was passed. Harmon has held various im- portant offices of a judicial character. Harmon has always been an anti-green- backer, and is now classed among the goldbugs, as his financial views agree with President Cleveland’s. Harmon is said to be a lawyer of ability. The firm of which he is a member represents corporations and railroads. Harmon was attorney for Ives, the railroad ‘man and “Napoleon of fipance,” who failed for several millions of dollars. It is believed that in making Harmon Attorney-General, President Cleveland may have been actuated by a desire to offset the free silver movement in Ohio under the leadership of Allen W. Thurman, son of the “Old Roman.” THIS FROM CINCINNATI. Lawyers Rejoice Over the Appointment of Judge Harmon. CINCINNATI, Onro, June 7.—When the appointment of Judge Judson Harmon became known here this afternoon attor- neys from the courts and their offices rushed to the office of Harmon, Colstone, Goldsmith & Headley to congratulate the new Attorney-General and ask for a date for a farewell dinner from the bar. Judge Harmon said he received a letter from President Cleveland to-day and re- plied to it by wire. He had no knowledge of his appointment till advised by the Associated Pre He went to Columbus to-night on business and does not know when he will go to Washington. Judge Harmon is not only recognized as one of the foremost lawyers and jurists of this State, but also as one of the most pop- ular citizens of Ohio. He was born forty- nine years ago near this city, which has always been his home, and is known by all. His father, Rev. B.F. Harmon, was a Baptist minister, well known throughout the Ohio Valley. Judge Harmon was graduated at Denison University, a Baptist institution at Granville, Ohio, in 1866, and began the practice of law in Cincinnati in 1869. He was a Republican until 1872, when he Greeleyized. As a Democrat he was elected Common Pleas Judge on the Tilden ticket in 1876. He was elected Superior Judge in 1878, re-elected in 1883, and when ex-Governor George Hoadley went to New York in 1888 Judge Harmon resigned from the | bench to become the head of the firm of | Harmon, Colstone, Goldsmith & Hoadley, which represents many railroads and other large corporaticns, and with which firm he will continue his connection. When Judge Harmon resigned in 1887 Governor Foraker appointed Judge Wil- liam Taft, now United States Circuit Judge and formerly Solicitor-General, to the vacancy. > Mrs, Harmon is an accomplished lady, the daunghter of the late Dr. Scobey of Hamilton. They have three daughter: Mrs. Edman Wright Jr. of Philadelphia; Miss [Elizabeth, a recognized society leader, and Margerie, the youngest of the family, who is 14 years old. CAUSED A SURPRISE. Cleveland Had Intended to Make a Shift- ing of Portfolios. WASHINGTON, D. C., June 7. — The announcement late this afternoon of the transfer of Attorney-General Olney to the head of the State Department created no surprise here, as it has been well under- stood for several days that Mr, Olney would succeed to the first place in the Cabinet made vacant by the death of Sec- retary Gresham. It is probable that to- morrow Mr. Olney will take the oath as the head of the State Department. The President once contemplated other changes in his Cabinet and a rearrange- ment of several portfolios and in this con- nection consideration was given to the transfer of Secretary Smith to the Depart- ment of Justice, but this and other trans- fers was finally abandonea and the Presi- dent concluded the simplest plan would be merely to fill the vacancy caused by Mr. Olney’s promotion. The appointment of Judge Judson Har- mon of Cincinnati as Attorney-General came in the nature of a surprise. His name had unot even been canvassed as among the probabilities. There is the best authority for the statement that the | Lieutenant-Commander Maney, Licuten- er,tion, and that the portfolio of justice might have been had by James C. Carter of New York, who was counsel for the Government in the B.ring Sea tribunal and the income tax cases, and by Freder- ick R. Coudert of New York, had they been disposed to accept. Secretary Carlisle knew Judge Harmon personally, and admired and respected his ability. It was he, probably, who first pre- sented his name to President Cleveland. Ex-Governor Campbell of Ohio, a close friend of Judge Harmon, also warmly sup- ported him, and the President also secured from ex-Governor Hoadley of Ohio, who is now living in New York, and whose law partner Mr, Harmon was, most favorable reports as to his ability and standing. Atter canvassing the situation thoronghly the Presidentoffered the portfolio to Judge Harmon by wire this afternoon and imme- diately upon receiving a favorable reply announced the appointments, President had several men under consid»l TO REFUND THE TAX. Those Who Paid the Income Levy to be | Reimbursed. WASHINGTON, D. C., June 7.—Blanks are prepared at the Treasury Department for the use of persons who have claims against the Government for the refund of the income tax. The refund will be made under section 2220 of the Revised Statutes which authorizes the Commissioner of In- ternal Revenue, on appeal, to refund all taxes erroneously or illegally collected. Few claims have been filed, probably be- cause the claimants have been waiting for official information on the subject. Every dollar of the income tax already collected will be paid to the persons from whom the collections were made. ST Naval Officers Promoted. WASHINGTON, D. C., June 7.—The President has approved the recommenda- | tion of a naval board and ordered the re- tirement of Medical Director Gorgas and Lieutenant-Commander Carmody. The following officers have been promoted: ant Blocklinger, Passed Assistant Engi- neer Ransom, Assistant Paymaster Rey- nolds, Surgeons Brennan and Myres and Passed Assistant Paymaster Kerby. P e Fever at Vera Cruz. WASHINGTON, D. C., June 7.— An | official report received by the surgeon- general of the Marine Hospital confirms the report of yellow fever at Vera Cruz, Mexico, and says there were four deathsin that city from the disease during the last week of May. i eie s S B No Intimation From Rome. WASHINGTON, D. C., June 7.—At the | residence of Mgr. Satolli it was stated that no intimation had come from Rome that the consistory would assemble or that the elevation of the delegate would occur. e e i Condition of the Treasury. WASHINGTON, D. C., June 7.—To- day’s statement of the condition of the treasury shows: Available cash balance, | $183,920,558; gold reserve, 823, CHILDREN'S FESTIVAL, A Pleasing Entertainment Given at St. Andrew’s Hall Last Night. Pretty children of all ages, from tiny tots of three and four to maids of 10 and 12, were the predominating features of the floral festival and mythological pantomime given at St. Andrew’s Hall, on Larkin street, last evening under the auspices of the Sunbeams of Charity. The society comprises 137 members, and its good work is carried on under the direction of G. A. Hensley. It has given several entertain- ments in the past which netted handsome returns for the noble cause in which the members are striving. None were more successful than that of last night, although they have been on larger scales. And how the children did enjoy it. They were out in droves, and with their handsome colored dresses, their streaming ribbons, bright smiles and | brighter eyes the spectator could easily | imagine that the whole was a snug coraer in the most nobby part of yland., * To make it more realistic the merry lit- tle dryads, nymphs, muses and other mythical characters were embowered in banks of roses and other flowers, which sent a fragrance through the atmosphere | that was as soothing as a benediction. The programme consisted of songs, dances, " recitations, - tableaux of roses, crowning of Flora, and other appreciable features. Two prizes were distributed, one, a gold watch and chain, to Miss Alise | Quentin, and another, a dismond ring, to | Miss Hattie Vandeveer. The exercises and participants were as follows: Highland fling, Misses Bessie Harris and Flor- rie Coolie; dance, Miss Pear) Lund; recitation, Miss Pearl Fenton; cachucha, Ethe!

George S. Miehling, the instructor in calis thenics and military tactics at the Horace Mann School, was_tendered an informal recep- tion by the girls and boys of the school yester- day siternoon, as & merk of appreciation of his cfforts in their behalf. The school orchestra rovided music. Dancing was enjoyed for an our or more and refreshments were served. | Before Mr. Miehling took his departure the pupils gave him the tribute of three hearty cheaers. —————— TrE unequaled strength of the Royal, as certified by the highest baking-powder au- thorities, makes it the cheapest to use, even at a higher price than others. ——————— Robbed an Ivory-House. ‘W.

OFF THE FLORIDA COAST. Sympathizers in This Country Contribute Liberally to the Cause. QUESADA TELLS HIS PLANS. In Several Weeks a Big Expedition Will Take Its Departure for Cuba. FERNANDINA, Fra., June 7.—Captain Lassere of the pilot-boat Francis Lisabeth has just arrived and reports sighting yes- terday a Spanish gunboat cruising about six miles from the shore. It passed Cum- berland Bar northward, and returned about five hours later, moving much slower and closer to the shore. The captain of the pilot-boat concluded that she wanted a pilot and made toward her, but when the gunboat observed this she changed her course. Considerable excitement was created here by the pilot captain’s story, as it was not believed that Spain considered the Florida coast of sufficient importance in respect to filibustering expeditions to be patrolled by a gunboat. Captain Johnson of the schooner Green- leaf, from New York, arrived here to-day and substantiated the story told by Cap- tain Lassere. Captain Johnson says that when he crossed the barat 8 o’clock this morning the gunboat was cruising slowly four miles off the bar, apparently on the lookout. The secret Cuban council finished its business to-day and departed. None of the party would deny or affirm the report that they were awaiting the arrival of Jose Marti, who is said to be now en route here. JACKSONVILLE, Fra., June 8.—Gon- zales Quesada, secretary of the Cuban party, returned here to-day from Fernan- dina. When questioned about the report that he was planning for a filibustering expedition on the Florida coast, he replied | that it would not start for several weeks. Quesada addressed the Cuban cigar- makers at El Merito factory to-day. Among other things he said he wanted 1000 rifles within the next month. He asked the cigar-makers at the factory to farnish 100 of them, which they agreed to do. WASHINGTON, D. C., June 7.—The report from Florida as to the dispatching of three torpedo-boats with a Cuban revo- lutionary party is thought by Spanish offi- cials here to bea ruse to divert attention from movements at other points. It is stated that the torpedo-boats could make but a feeble showing against the large fleet of Spanish cruisers and gun- boats now patrolling Cuban waters. It is said that General Rafael Quasada is the moving spirit of the present operations, and that he is now at Abite Springs. Florida dispatches mention a Gonsales de Quesada as one of a revolutionary board at Ocean Beach, Fla. This General Quesada is a former secretary to Jose Marti. The latter’s death is now conceded by revolutionary leaders, according to advices received here. Department officials do not attach any importance to the statement of the Lon- don Standard that Spain would make a claim against the United States, based on the precedent of the Alabama claims, for permitting arms and ships to leave the United States in aid of the Cuban cause. It is said that no definite information of this aid has yet been given, and that when- ever it is given the United States will use every available means to suppress the traffic. Inthis connection official atten- tion has been directed to the open carry- ing of the flag of the Cuban revolution by armed bands in the streets of Tampa, Fla. HAVANA, Cusa, June 7.—A small de- tachment of Spanish troops, it is an- nounced in a dispatch from Manzanillo, were surprised by insurgents commanded by Amadora Guerra. Fierce fighting fol- lowed. The Spanish lost one sergeant and three soldiers killed and had seven wounded. The insurgents were compelled to retire, leaving four dead and nine wounded. The troops pursued the fleeing insurgents and captured five prisoners. Another dispatch announces that a num- ber of insurgents recently attacked the village of Guaya, which was defended by a small detachment of troops commanded by Colonel Castellani. The Spanish soldiers routed the enemy, who leit three dead soldiers on the field. Thirty Houses Demolished and Fifty Persons Drowned. STUTTGART, GErMANY, June 7.—It is officially announced that the fatalities which resulted from the cloudburst on ‘Wednesday over the Wurtemberg portion of the Black Forest will amount to fifty. At Bathingen thirty houses were demol- ished by the river Eyach. There was another cloudburst last even- ing over the same district and the Eyach Valley was again flooded. The damage done is not known. The Rems Valley was also visited by a waterspout, and there have been some heavy thunderstorms throughout the southern portion of Wur- temberg. The Danube and Neckar are greatly swollen. - It does not appear that any baking pow- der, when presented in competition with the Royal, either at the Government tests or before world’s fair juries, has ever re- ceived favor or award ‘over the Royal or strength or wholesomeness. — el MELBA QUELLS A PANIC. Prevents a Wild Rush for a Theater's Ewxit When Fire Breaks Out. LONDON, ExG., June 7.—During a per- formance of “Faust” at the Covent Garden Theater to-night the scenery caught fire and a panic was narrowly averted. Mme. Melba appeared in front of the curtain in the costume of Marguerlte, and, despite her own danger, in a few words succeeded in allaying the fears of the audience. e tuge ok Burial of Consul Lott. MANAGUA, NICARAGUA, June 7.—The remains of Hiram Lott, United States Con- sul, who died yesterday afternoon, were buried to-day. The body was escorted to the cemetery by the Nicaraguan Ministers and 200 soldiers. A military salute was fired over the grave. —_— Russia Would Not Dare. ST. PETERSBURG, Russia, June 7.— Theopinion prevails among officials here that Russia, while doing the best possible under the circumstances for the welfare of the Armenians, will not risk a conflict with Turkey, as the development of the question in the extreme direction advocated by the English press, would only endanger the quietude of Russian-Armenia, thus proving prejudicial to Russian interests generally. e HAD A PAPER ¥FOR THE QUEEN. Arrest of a Youth Who Startled the Town of Ballater. EDINBURGH, Scorraxp, June 7.—The little town of Ballater, near Balmoral, where the Queen is stopping, was startled late this evening by the reckless firing of a revolver in the streets. The young man who fired the pistol was arrested and it was found that he bad in his possession a paper addressed to the Queen, whom he intended to visit. The prisoner also had a letter addressed to Mr. Gladstone and another to Mr. Vanderbilt, whose daughter he said he desired to marry. A doctor who examined the young man ex- pressed the opinion that nhe was insane. SR, TO RESCUE EXP. LORER PEARY. An Expedition Will Soon Depart From Newfoundland. ST. JCHNS, NEWFOUNDLAND, June 7.— The whaleboat Kite has been chartered to carry an expedition of ten persons to Greenland to rescue Lieutenant Peary, the Aretic explorer. Emile Diebitsch, Peary’s brother-in-law, will have charge of the party. Mrs. Peary will not accompany the party. The Kite is to start about the middle of next month. JAPANESE RESTORE ORDER Chaos Now Rapidly Giving Way to Peace in For- mosa. During the Flight of the Ex-Gover- nor Many Were Killed by the Bombardment. HONGKONG, CHINA, June 7.—Advices from Formosa indicate that chaosis rap- idly giving way to order, now that the Japanese troops have reached Taipehfu and established headquarters at that point, The natives of Formosa are submitting readily to the rule of the Japanese. The Japanese losses during the military move- ments in occupying the island amount to only eight men. The Chinese carried away millions of dollars’ worth of property from the Chinese fortifications During the firing which followed the detention of the steamer of ex-Governor and ex-President Tang Ching, who was making an effort to escape from the island, seven persons were killed and seventeen wounded on the steamer. The German gunboat Itlis replied to the bom- bardment from the fortifications on the Formosan shore, and the native gunners deserted their positions. The forts were quickly silenced. According to all reports thirteen natives werekilled by the cannon- ade of the Itlis. WASHINGTON, D. C., June 7. —The Chinese Minister, in company with acting Secretary Uhl, accompanied by his secre- tary of legation as interpreter, waited in person on the President this afternoon and presented to him a letter from the Em- peror of China, thanking him in grateful terms for the kindly offices exercised by | the United States in behalf of the restora- tion of peace between Chinaand Japan. The imperial communication was in the Chinese language, handsomely encased in royal yellow silk. =l Stormed by German Troops. BERLIN, GERMANY, June 7.—An official dispatch from Herr Von Puttakmer, the Governor of the Cameroon district of West Africa, announces that there has been some fighting with the rebellious Boko tribes. Four strongholds of the rebels have been stormed by the German colonial troops and 200 tribesmen were killed and many others captured. On the side of the Germans twelve colonial soldiers were killed and forty-seven wounded. AR Craiir iy Norway Will Compromise. CHRISTIANIA, NorwAy, June 7.—The Storthing by a vote of 90 to 24 has adopted a compromise resolution to the effect that while it is the intent and purpose of the Storthing to maintain a complete inde- pendence upon all national questions, public policy requires the immediate open- ing with the co-operation of the Cabinet of negotiations with Sweden, looking toward the settlement of the consular and Foreign Minister question. Submerged by a Freshet. OLDENBURG, GERMANY, June 7.—Re- ports have been received here to the effect that Kobersdorf, a Hungarian watering place, has been submerged by the sudden freshets of the swollen mountain streams. Twelve persons are missing. The torrents swept the country adjoining, carrying away many of the massive bridges, and the peasants fled to the hills for refuge. Many families are reported homeless, e A British Steainer Ashore. QUEENSTOWN, Exc., June 7.—The British steamer Davaur is ashore at Briggs Reef.

TWELVE POINTS AHEAD. Splendid Performance on the Fast Track at Cham- pagne. FOUR NEW RECORDS GAINED. Scoggins, Dyer, Koch, Barnes, Tor- rey,' Woolsey and Edgren Are Winners. URBANA, Iry., June 7.—The champion track team of the University of California entered its fourth dual meet at 3 o’clock at Champaign thisafternoon, and at 50’clock had added another victory to its list, be- sides placing three mew college records and one world’s record upon its tablet. As its opponents, the University of 1llinois, had held the Middle West championship, the California bear will henceforth be held in great honor among the Suckers, Hoo- siers, Badgers and other Western people. The day was bright and sunny, the men were well rested, and the track, a half-mile trotting track, was in fine condition. Scoggins, who has been steadily regain- ing his last year’s condition, ran in fault- less form in both sprints. He was matched against Bullard,who ran away from him at Chicago Saturday, and is certainly a very fast man, but to-day Scoggins turned the tables. In the 100-yard dash both left the mark together and kept pace to the 60-yard mark, where the Californian began to draw away, increasing the gap until it had widened into two yards at the finish. There was much comparing of watches, and the time was finally announced as 10 seconds. This breaks the U. C. record of 10 1-5 jointly held by Scoggins and Mays, and equals the American intercollegiate record. Scoggins had made the same time last year under Reliance colors, but it was never accepted owing to a technicality. The 220-yard dash was a beautiful race, and Scoggins would again have made even time but for an error made by the judges in placing the tape on the wrong finish post. Bullard led for the first 100 yards, but then the Californian ran away from him, finishing with a terrific burst of speed, four yardas to the front. The course was eight yards short, but still the time, 21 2-5 seconds, was very fast. Bullard, the second man, had run in 22 2-5 at Chicago. Barnes easily won the quarter for Cali- fornia in 54 seconds. Histime was caught thirty yards from home at 46 seconds, but he walked in, the heart-breaking pace hav- ing overcome his opponents. Captain Koch led the half-mile procession by twenty-five yards. If he had been rushed another record would have been gone. Bradley secured a poor second in the mile. His feet are so _blistered that he cannot be counted on. Merwin won the walk as he pleased in 7 minutes 50 seconds. Torrey did not enter the 120 yards hurdle race. Woolsey fell at the first hurdle, so Dyer of California was left to fight it out with Captain Clark of Illinois, and a more reliable man could not have been chosen. - For the first five hurdles the men were even. Then Dyer gained the lead. The finish reminded one of the time that Walt Hehry broke the world’s record at the Olympic grounds in 1892 by one grand burst of speed. The timers all agreed upon the time, 15 3-5-seconds. This breaks the intercollegiate record and it is the world’s record held by Stephen Chase. Dyer only tipped one hurdle. The 220 yards hurdle race was a pretty contest, Torrey, Dyer and Captain Clark bunching together until the last fifty vards, where the Californian drew away. Torrey won from Dyer by five feet; time, 25 1-5 seconds, breaking his own TU. C. record by one-fifth of a second. The field was in no condition, or else there might have been some more records. Koch secured second in the shot by 38 feet 54 inches. Dozier was second with 5 feet 7 inches in the high jump. The pole vault went by default to Illinois. Wool- sey and Dozier took both places in the broad jump with 20 feet, and Edgren won the hammer throw with 123 feet. Dozier’s high jumping was very fine considering that his side run was up hill. Captain Clark, the winner, with a 6 feet record, only cleared 5 feet 8 inches. Dozier, with hisusual hard luck, strained a tendon so that his broad jumping was done upon pure grit. Edgren’s work was especially fine considering that he had been confined to his room for the past week with an attack of poisoning. The score, 55 to 43. Winners of first events: 100-yerd dash—J. W.

MANCHESTER, Exes June 7.—Flori- zell, owned by the Prince of Wales, won the Manchester cup to-day against a large field, which included M. F. Dwyer’s Ban- quet. Florizell was a favorite in the bet- tingby 7 to 2, but the Americans, who turned out inlarge numbers, backed Ban- quet heavily. Just before the race the odds were 8 to 1, whereas a fortnight ago they were 20 to 1. The odds on the other horses that started were: Gotschalk’s Cypria, 5 to1; P. Bu- chanan’s The Docker, 8 to 1; J. H. Houlds- worth’s Bushey Park, 8 to 1; Captain Macheil’s Campianjo, 9 to 1; Leopold de Rothschild’s Rodomont, 10 to 1; Mr. Cohen’s Greenlawn, 12 to 1; M. Blake’s Rock Dover, 12to 1. There was much grumbling when it was announced a few days ago that Canon’s Reminder, who had a good chance and Miss 1:21 letic Association, to-day received a tele- gram from Trainer Tom Eck at Albany announcing John 8. Johnson's willingness to race Arthur ZimMerman on the River- ton grounds for $1000 a side. 1t is now believed the match will be made and that Zimmerman will recede from his deter- mination not to race for less than §5000. Niagara Wins the Race. SHEERNESS, Exa., June 7.—In a fresh northeaster Howard Gould’s 20-rater, Niagara, and two other yachts of the same class started at 12:30 p. M. to-day in the race for the prize of £20 in the regatta of the Royal London Yacht Club. At 1:15 p. M. the Niagara was leading, with the Luna second. The following were the times of the two leading yachts attheend of the firstround: Niagara, 2 hrs. 56 min. 10 sec.; Luna, 3 hrs. 2 min. 5 sec. The times of the yachts at the finish were: Niagara, 5 hrs. 10 min. 7 sec.; Luna, 5 hrs. 22 min. The Niagara won by 12 min. 33 sec. NEW TO-DAY. YOU NEED NOT QUESTION us who had been backed to win the cup for months, had been sold to Baron Hirsch, and he was scratched this morning. Nearly all the sporting prophets tipped Florizell for winner, but all intimated that Banquet was decidedly a dangerous horse. The result was: Prince of Wales’ Flori- zell first, Cohen’s brows colt Greenlawn second, P. Buchanan’s chestnut colt The Docker third. Each of theseis 4 years old. Rodomont held a clearlead until nearing the distance, where Docker assumed the lead, followed by Greenlawn and Florizell. The latter won amid enthusiastic cheering by two lengths. Three-quarters of a length separated the second ana third horses. Rodomont was fourth. Banquet was clearly outclassed. He made a fair start, but Jockey Simms knew from the moment he got away that his mount was beaten. BROKE ALL THE RECORDS. Finish of the Great Relay Race From New York to Chicago. NEW YORK, N. Y., June 8.—The great relay bicycle race of thered and blue be- tween Chicago and this city was finished at 1:56 o’clock this (Saturday) morning. The actual time of the race was 65 hours 53 minutes. The last relay should have reachea the finishing point at Sixtieth street and the Western Boulevard at 8 o’clock this (Sat- urday) mornihg. Arriving when they did, they broke all American records for a re- lay race. The great race, which had its start at Chicago at 9:30 o’clock Wednesday morning, was begun after most careful preparations. Two years ago just after the first relay race between Chicago and this city, Gen- eral Nelson A. Miles, then in Chicago, now commanding the eastern division of the United States Army, expressed him- self as being strongly in favor of the bicycle in military life, and urged that relay races be more frequently run. Believing that the wheel would in the future play an important part in military circles, he himself became a rider and has a great deal to say of the present race, which was organized almost on the strength of his words of encouragement. The blue riders represent the military; the red the postal service. From almost the first of the race the riders were ahead of the scheduled time and there was a stroneg rivalry and hard riding between the different colors to distance ,one an- other. For the most part the roads were found fair and the route arranged a favor- able one. At midnight there was a great throng at the junction of Sixtieth street and the Boulevard, the finishing spot of the race. Long before there could be any hope of the riders appearing the waiters peered into the darkness, and every once in awhile a great shout, ‘“Here they come!"” startled the near-by residents. On the wall of a building close at hand there had been posted an immense chart showing the route from Chicago through Indiana, Ohio, Pensyivania and New York marked with figures that illustrated the progress of the riders. It was 1:56 o’clock when the red message was delivered to General Miles, The message said: “This message leaves Chicago on June 5, in front of my quarters, at 9 . . Wes- ley Merritt, U. 8. A., commanding the Department of Missouri.” This message was brought on the last relay and was delivered by L. D. Munger and Price. General Miles and Postmaster Dayton were at the end of *the line to re- ceive the messages. The blue rider ar- rived at 2:39 A. M. Are Welcome in England. LONDON, Exa., June 7.—The greatest interest is taken here in the prospect of an international athletic contest between the universities of Oxford and Cambridge and teams from American universities. The first news of the Oxford and .Cambridge challenge was published in England to- day, when all the newspapers reprinted the exclusive dispatch to the Associated Press printed in the United Statesand Canada. Naturally there are numerous comments on the challenge, and they all express the hope that it will be accepted. For instance, the St. James Gazette says: “It will do good to the universities of both countries and belp to produce a friendlier feeling on both sides of the Atlantic.” The Pall Mall Gazette, in the course of a column leading editorial on the same subject, remarks: “There will be great interest in the meeting in view of the London Athletic Club fixtures, and we shall thus have international contests which should enable athletes of both countries to take thorough stock of each other’s capacities.” After alluding to the benefit of such c(glteats the Pall Mall Gazette continues: ‘Eyery spectator of the contests n Ox'fgrg. Sl?g Yale was struck by thebe x;my spirit in which the Americans bore the barest of bare defeats. We are notashamed to say that this association of youth. with youth may help to shape the relationshi; of the two peoxfies." : 5 Will Race Zimmerman. PHILADELPHIA, Pa., June 7.—Walter G.
