2 — THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, MONDAY, AUGUST 5, 1395. I WILLIM'S DOMAIN Social Berlin Enlivened by the Royal Opera Opening. TOUR OF SWITZERLAND. People Flock to See the Crown Prince and His Brother Eitel. KIEL CANAL IS IN DISFAVOR. Shunned Even by German Ship- Owners Because of Its Inferior Management. BERLIYN, Germany, Ang. 4.—Tbe pre- vailing dullness of Berlin, especially in social circles, received a passing enlivener on Thursday, when the new Royal Opera and Thiergarten, formerly Kroil’s Opera- house, was opened with a splendid pro- duction of Nicolai's “Merry Wives of Windsor.” The Emperor and his entire mi household, in resplendent uni- forms, were present and occupied the grand The imperial box, which faces the stage. box w draped with crimson brocaded silk. with heavy gold ornaments. The style of decoration was that of the Herron- sheimsee castle Lot II in Bavaria. The auditorium was scented with lilac eau de cologne. All of the fashionable people ng in Berlin were in attendance, but most of the society people are at the spas or the seaside. All of the prominent i e American colony were also hey were headed by Secretary ckson, charge ¢ res in the ab- sence of Embassador Runyon. The Sw tour of the Crown Prince and his brother, Prince Eitel Frederick, was extended to several points in the south of Germany, all of the ancient seats of the Hohenzollern’s being especially visited. The young princes traveled incognito, but this was not rigidly observed and the public flocked to see them upon every oc- casion that afforded a chance. This was particularly true of the female portion of the public whose especial object of adora- tion was young Prince Eitel Frederick, who is a general favorite. Heis a merry, roguish young fellow, and is taller and broader than his brother, who is some- what prematurely sedate. . The women de- plored that Eitel’s beautiful geclden locks had been shorn, which had been done in accordance with the strict military training which forms a most important part of the Prussian system of educating princes. The public eagerly read such personal mention of the princes as was allowed to appear in the press, even to the descrip- tions of their daily meals and drinks. From these articles it seems that the favorite dish of the youngsters is mashed potatoes and pork cutlets. Their mother, the Empress, acts as the guardian of their stomachs, and has their daily menu sent to her for inspection. Their breakfast usually consists of coffee, cold meat and eggs, and their luncheon of old cold meat, fruits and white wine diluted with seltzer. For dinner or supper they are served with steaks or chops, potatoes and fruits. Dr. Schweininger has returned from his excursion to the north. He paid a visit to Prince Bismarck at Friedrichsruhe and re- ports that the ez-Chancellor had so well stood the exertions incident to his birth day fetes, etc., thanks to good care and his quiet home life, that he (Schweininger) does not advise an exchange of his retire- ment in the Sachenwald for the bustle and discomfort of a visit to Kissengen or Gastein. Nevertheless, Dr. Schweininger informed the Prince that he would not allow him to have any more receptions, hoping that complete rest will fortify him against the exactions of the winter. Among the latest stories of Bismarck worship is that of the rebuff given to Dr. Hermes, Freissinige member of the Reich- stag, by Chief Ranger Muller, who isin charge. of the royal hunts at Viensig. Hermes, who is on the record as having voted against President von Levetow’s proposals that the Reichstag officially congratulate Prince Bismarck on his birthday, wrote to Muller for permission to shoot wild ducks on the Viensig lands. Muller, who is an intense admirer of Prince Bismarck, replied to the applica- tion 1n these words: “You helped in the Reichstag to with- hold the honor proposed to be shown by that body to Prince Bismarck. Goand shoot your ducks with his enemies else- where. “You will shoot none here.” The United Press correspondent in Munich learns that the relations between the Russian and Bavarian courts are much warmer and closer than the relations ex- isting between the Bavarian and Prussian courts. A Bavarian statesman, in conver- sation with the correspondent yesterday, said: “‘Aithough the Czar and the Kaiser are personally very good friends, their politi- cal relations are merely polite. Emperor Nicholas II 1s not the man to enforce his personal wishes against the opposition of the bureaucrats, who are bouna together by traditions and political relations. The pro-German influence, which it was hoped would grow through the Czarinz,a Hes- sian Princess, bas not yet manifested itself, and the feeling prevails that by the time her Majesty is ready to assert herself she will have become so Russianized by the influence of the orthodox priesthood and others that she will not feel inclined to run counter to the sentiment of the St. Petersburg court.” * In spite of the denunciations of the Vos- sische Zeitung and other journals of the English boycotting of the Kaiser Wilhelm canal, the German ship-owners are in- clined to take sidesr with the English owners and join in the general dissatisfac- tion, holding that the tariffs are exorbi- tant. Moreover, the German ship-owners are grumbling at the management of the canal, which they declare is not conducted upon commercial or practical . principles, everything being bound up in red tape. The Post comes out as a champion of the shippers and in an article on the subject declares that the inefficiency of the man- agement is aggravated bythe discourtesy of the pilots and subordinate officials. Many captains, the Post declares, have avoided the canal after their first ex- perience in its passage, preferring the risks involved in the passage around the Skaw. The Postcontends that the limited use of the new waterway by shippers proves the truth of its charges, and appeals to the Goyernment to remedy the matter by the application of practical and equit- able principles in the management of the canal. _The Russian Government is about to sub- sidize a new depot at Hamburg for Rus- sian products suitable for exportation, especially to the United States. These products will include cotton and woolen fabrics, brandy, glue, preserves, porcelain, soap, ete. The Landwirthschaft Milch Zeitung, in a leading article on the importation of American meat, declares that it is vastly more important to keep an eye upon tinned meats than upon live cattle. If, the paper says, we would trace the origin of the tinned and packed beef sent out from Chicago we should find that the vackers buy the most inferior quality, such as it is not right to have sold in Germany. The official Berlin correspondent an- nounces that American pork, ham and sau- sage imported into Germany must hence- forth be stamped and microscopically ex- amined, besides undergoing the regular inspection. The Metz garrison will celebrate the an- niversity of the battles fought in that vicin- ity in the Franco-Prussian war by solemn field services on August 18, heid on the Metz battlefield. This ceremony will be followed by the decoration of the graves of the fallen Prussian soldiers, accompanied by the beating of the tattoo, and in the evening the heights around Metz will be illuminated. Among the Americans who have arrived in Berlin during the past week are Lieuten- ant Averill, of the Seventh United States Cavalry; Lieutenant Richardson, of the Twentieth United States Infantry; W. Just of Philadelphia, and J. M. Savage, United States Consul at Dundee, Scotland. The diamond cutters of Hanau,in Hesse- Nassau, have gone on a strike to enforce a demand for an increase of 10 percent in their wages. THE SILVER DEMOCRATS. Preparations for the Conference to Be Held in Washington. MEMPHIS, Tex~., Aug. 4—The com- mittee of arrangements for the conference of silver Democrats to be held at Washing- ton on the 14th inst. had a session to-day, and shortly after adjournment Senator Harris left for the National capital to per- fect the arragements in that city. The committee announces that Senators from nine States have signified their intention of attending the conference, and Congress- men from sixteen States will also be pres- ent. Inaddition to these leadeis of silver Democrats there will be other gentlemen from the States, and M all thirty-one different States will be represented at the conference. Senator Harris, being asked concerning the conference, said that it would un- doubtedly be a representative conference of silver Democrats and its action would be of the greatest importance. Itis not of course to be in any sense a convention, but a mere assemblage of representative silver Democrats, but it will be confined to those who have been especially invited to attend. It is desired that the silver Democrats in every State will see that there is a fair rep- resentation sent from their respective States and snch representatives are expected to attend whether specially invited or not. It is incumbent upon silver Democrats to see that this is attended to. FOUGHT THE SPANISH. Battles of Cuban Rebels in the Struggle for Freedom. LAST TWO ENGAGEMENTS Before That, However, the Insurgents Took a Stronghold. SIX SPIES WERE EXECUTED. Reports That General Campos Was Wounded While Retreating to Bayamo. SANTIAGO DE CUBA, Cusa, Aug. 4.—The Government ¢olumn under the command of Colonel Séguarez returned to Guantanamo on the second instant after haging defeated the insurgents under Jose Maceo near Loma de la Galieta. The rebels lost ten killed and seventy wounded and five taken prisoners.

FAIRC RS PR STRUCK BY LIGHTNING. A Wandering Family Took Shelter Under @ Tree and Met Disaster. ALTOONA, Pa., Aug. 4. —During a heavy thunder storm this aftermoon a large barn belonging to David Bell, on the outskirts of the city, was struck by light- ning and burned, together with its con- tents. Abont the same time a wandering family from Williamsport, Pa., sought shelter under a tree near Duncansville. The tree was struck and one of the family, a young man named John H. Miller, killed. The mother, Mrs. Miller, was g0 badly burned by the electric fluid that it is thought she will die. Two other members of the family, a boy and a girl, were severely shocked. sy MISS WILLIAMS ALIVE. An Alleged Victim of Holmes Said to Be Living in Memphis. MEMPHIS, TesN., Aug. 4. — Minnie Williamas, one of Holmes’ sppposed vic- tims, 1s said to be in this city, and the dec- laration is made by one who claims to have seen, conversed with, and heard a partial admission of her identity from the woman's; own lips. The party who makes the assertion is’a Little Rock resident who makes frequent trips to and is well ac- quainted in Memphis.

[From a photograph.] VERY YOUNG BURELARS Two Little Girls Breke Into Stores and Secured Plunder. Thelr Home Raided by Denver Police and the Mother Taken as a “Fence.” DENVER, Coro., Aug. 4.—Helen Peter- sen, 7 years of age, and her sister Mamie, 11 years old, were arrested here to-day on the charge of burglary. Their mother, Kate Petersen, is held for receiving stolen goods. About midnight on Saturday the chil- dren left their house thoroughly equipped for their criminal mission. Before they entered the millinery store of Miss Kitty Dunphy, 633 Sixteenth street, which the; looted, they were forced to progress throug a long, dark alley, strewn with old dry- goods cases and other litter. They then, in a professtonal manner, hoisted a large transom and slipped into the store. They carried several gunny-sacks, which they filled in the basement with hats, ribbons and laces, amounting in value to $60. To allow their escape with the plunder, they forced open a large iron grating with improvised implements feund in the store. ‘When their home was searched over $500 worth of goods was recovered and taken to police headquarters. The mother denies any connection with the affair. SRS A4 BOOM FOR WHITNEYX. Regarded as a Presidential Possibility of the First Magnitude. NEW YORK, N. Y., Aug. 5—The Her- ald says: In the opinion of many Democrais a formidable movement is likely to shape in a short time in favor of the nomination of William C. Whitney for the Presidency in 1896. At this moment the eye of nearly every aspirant for the White House is turned toward Mr. Whitney. There is more than one substantial reason in the possession of the Herald why Mr. Whitney may be regzarded as a Presiden- tial possibility of tne first magnitude. Mr. ‘Whitney is at Bar Harbor, Mr. Cleveland is at Gray Gables. Mutual friends of the two have been at both places, and have talked to the two men. Secretary of War Lamont has been one of these. Mr. Cleve- land thinks no man would be so strong as Whitney. R i A ALL CAUSED BY A COW. A Living Obstruction Wrecked a Train and Caused Death. PHENIXVILLE, Pa., Aug. 4.—The passenger train on the Pickering Valley Railroad, due here at 8:40 o’clock, ran into acow a short distance from Pemberton, three miles from here, to-night. The en- gine left the track, several cars following it over a steep embankment. The engineer, Joseph Grow of Pheenixville, was instantly killed, and the fireman dangerously hurt, while balf a dozen passengers were per- haps fatally injured. They were memgers of the Balvation Army from here, return- ing from Fegleys Grove, where a meeting was held to-day. The wreck occurred near the spot where so many members of the Pennypacker family were killed in a wreck some years ago. ke ol Fire in a Silver Mine. DENVER, Coro., Aug. 4—The fire at the silver mine, owned by J. C. Dexter, in Leadville has not been extinguished, though i} has been confined closelv to that mine. ortunnel{, so far as learned, no one was injured by the explosion of 200 pounds of giant powder late Saturday night. The Forepaugh and adg::nin property are not in danger. The will cause a damage of about $15,000. ——— Homicidal and Suicidal Mania. BALTIMORE, Mb., Aug. 4.—Frederick A. Degroot fired a revolver with murderous intent at his wife, Mrs. Katie Degroot, at their home, 3007 O'Donneli street, this morning, and, failing in his purpose, turned the weapon against himself with fatal effect. The cause of the act is not known, but from his actions for the last week it is believed that he was seized with bomicidal and suicidal mania. surgents under Matias Voga at Miser- cordia, near Mayari, in which two of the rebels were killed. KEY WEST, Fra., Aug. 4—A letter from Santiago de Cuba, under date of July 24, says: In this district of Cuba, after some days of quiet, the insurgents are again beginning to make themselves felt. Another engagement has taken place at Baire, the town where the first insurgents gathered at the beginning of the present revolution. The place was garrisoned by a lieutenant and sixty soldiers. On July 20 a detachment of 2000 rebels, under the leadership of Rabi, appearad there and demanded that the guards sur- render, whereupon the single officer with s sixty troops entrenched themselves in a church and kept the rebels at bay for a day and a half. At the end of that time, however, the lieutenant surrendered with his men. The rebels, after disarming the surrend- ered soldiers, let them go free but held the officer prisoner. Then they hanged five or gix persons as spies and left Baire. The rebel leader Rabi mentioned above is the same who the Spaniards said was killed in the battle with Captain-General Campos between Manzanillo and Bayamo over a week ago. In regard to that affair nothing authorative is as yetknown. Com- munication between Bayamo and Menzan- illo seems to be entirely cut off and every- body here is eagerly awaiting news of the engagement. The writer of this letter saw this morn- ing a letter from Bayamo saying that dur- ing the engagement Captain-General Campos had the heel blown off his right shoe and his cane broken by a bullet from the enemy, and that before he arrived at Bayamo he became so exhausted from walking that some of his attendants had to make a litter for him and carry him into town on it. Great excitement prevails among Cuban sngar-planters and cattle-dealers on ac- countof a proclamation issued by Maximo Gomez on July 1. In it he forbids cattle- dealers to take cattle into the cities under penalty of death, and also forbids the grinding of sugar cane, declaring that he will destroy the sugar cane and apparatus and burn the buildings of those who con- tinue working, and that they will be considered as traito: ROBBED BY BRAKEMEN. While Stealing a Ride n Michigan Youth Was Boldly Held Up. LANSING, MicH., Aug. 4.—Friday night George King, a young man 20 years of age, came to the home of Agent Townsend of the Detroit, Lansing and Northern Rail- road in this city, and told a sensational story about being held up and robbed by two brakemen on the through freight com- ing eagt from Ionia. King said he lived at Battle Creek. He had been fishing up north and was stealing a ride liome on_the freight train. Between Ionia and Lansing he was discovered and held up by Brakeman Smith, Beech and Coyne of Detroit. who shoved revolvers under his nose, on top of one of the cars, and then robbed him of tue small amount of money he had. They also took-his satchel and everything of value he had on his person. Townsend took the ycung man to Ionia yesterday and Assistant Superin- tendent Malone brought in the men, whom King accused of robbing him. He identi- fied them and they were searched, and the stolen articles found on their persons. The} were immediately arrested on the charge of highway robbery. PR At oleris axd CAPSIZED BY A SQUALL. Two Occupants of a Boat Drowned and Three Rescued. BROOKLYN, N. Y., Aug 4—The sloop yacht Ella 8., of the Excelsior boat club, started out this evening for a sail in Ja- maica Bay with a party of five on board. They were John Strand, his sons, John Strand, Jr., George Strand and Andrew Strand, and Arthur Hemmingway. Shortly before 3 o'clock, when off the foot of Ninety-third street, a squall which preceded a heavy shower struck the little craft, capsizing it. - In a moment all the occupants of the boat were floundering in sential details. He was not advised as to the location of the woman, the acquaint- ance keeping this secret until the receipt of a photograph of Minnie Williams, which is expected to-morrow. Fortified with this the Little Rock agents will come at once to Memphis, call upon the suspect and clear up the mystery as they antici- pate. It1sevident that the description is perfect. BURNED BY HER BROTHER. - Two-Year-Old Agnes Krimp- lopski Met With a Fright- ful Death. The Child’s Clothing Set on Fire by a Match Thrown by a Little Brother. OMAHA, Nepr.,, Aug. 4.—Little two- year-old Agnes Krimplopski, the daughter of Herman Krimplopski, a laborer of Sec- ond and Walnut streets, met with a fright- ful death this afternoon. While the mother was attending to some work in the back yard she left her two children playing on the floor in the front room of the house. A four-year-old son took a match from a table, and, lighting it, threw it at his little sister. Little Agnes’ clothing was set afire, and before the mother was attracted to the house by the screams of the burning child its entire body was a mass of flames. The mother, in tearing the clothing from her body, was severely burned also. Dr. Paul Grossman was called, and for several hours worked to save the little sufferer’s life, but without avail. i B RAN AWAY FROM THE RING. Pugilist Flint Was Afraid to Meet Con Doyle. - CHICAGO, ILn., Aug. &.—The mill be- tween Con Doyle and Afthur Flint, that has been attracting so much attention among the sporting people, was a miser- able fiasco. Flint, after being almost dragged into the ring, showed the white feather and sneaked out, leaving the locality by a country road and not taking his regular clothing from the building. The mill was to bave taken place last night, and 300 sports took a Grand Trunk train to a small suburban station called Mount Olivet, twenty-five miles from this city. When time was called there was a row raised by the St. Louis man's friends, who urged a new stakeholder. Thiy ‘was used as a pretense for getting out of the fight, and Flint made a hurried exit across lots to_shelter two miles from the scene. Flint's own backers were ashamed of him, and he will never be able {0 make arother match in Chicago or vicinity. gl CHARLES DUNLAP DEAD. Injuries Received in an Accident at Chi- cago Ended His Life. CHICAGO, Irt, Aug. 4.—Charles Dun- lap, general superintendent of the Chicago, Rock Island and Pacitic railread, died at 2:15 o’clock this morning at his residence, No. 6520 Ross avenue, of injuries which he reicehiz'ed at the Chutes last Thursday night. Mr. Dunlap was 48 years old, and was one of the best known railroad men n Chicago. Foian el And the Reporter Went. ISHPEMING, Mrcx., Aug. 4.—Fred H. Britton, staff correspondent of the Detroit Evening News, was compelled by ‘500 ex- cited miners to leave the city late last night. Britton is accused of getting a couple of striking miners intoxicated and pumping them for information. The least sign of resistance on the gfl.ot Britton a lynching would surely have resulted e oy Truster for Mayor. INDIANAPOLIS, Ixp.,, Aug. 4.—The Republican City Convention nominated Preston C. Truster for Mayor, Georze W. Stubbs for Police Judge and Lee Nixon for City Clerk. The last two are the in- cumbents and the former is City Con- troller. There wasa bitter opposition to T, because it was alle, e refused to vote for Harrison, but he was nomin- ated on the first ballot. Saunders, Rev. Dr. Stewart and Mrs. Stewart, of the Church Missionary Society. Five of Mr. and Mrs. Stewart’s children were killed and two survive. One had a knee broken and the other, a baby, lost an eye. The following were saved: Miss Hart- ford of the American Mission, Miss Cod- dington of the English Zenana Mission acd Rev. 8. Phillips of the English Church Missionary Society. ¥ United States Consul Eixson, who is sta- tioned at Foo Chow, with a party of volun- sacre started on a steam launch for the scene and has returned, bringing with him the wounded Americans. The experiences of the survivors were terrible. They say that death was the least part of the sufferings of the butchered women. The indignation here is intense. Never- theless, the many warships in the harbor are idle. A mass-meeting has been ar- ranged for to-morrow to protest against the lack of energy on the part of the an- thorities and to urge that reparation be made and that the guilty persons be pun- ished. The mandarins endeavor to blame cer- tain secret societies for the outrage. The Europeans, however, regard this as non- sense. The officials are renewing their old tactics of stopping telegrams. The reports of the outrage are badly mixed. The latest saysit is now known that ten persons were killed, including Miss Lena Stewart and Dr. Stewart's whole family, except two. The American mis- sionaries, Miss Hartford and Dr. Gregory, escaped, but the former was fearfully man- gled. Several English and American chil- dren were killed. The London Standard to-morrow will de- mand that the murderers be visited with condign punishment and that a stern ex- ample be made of the officials Who virtu- ally connived at the commission of the crime. The paper will say: “If the Emperor cannot or will not pro- tect British residents we must give him assistance of a kind he will not welcome.” The Chronicle will say it trusts that Great Britain and the United States will com- bine to teach the Chinese a lesson that will cause foreigners to be respected forever, but, in view of the conditions existing in the country, the bodies sending mission- aries there, especially women, incur the gravest responsibility. The whole ques- tion, the Chronicle adds, ought to be re- considered. The Times will say: “The outrage must, of course, form the subject of strong rep- resentation to China from England and probably from the United States. It must not be passed over as a trifle. Immunity of the murderers would cause a standing menace to the lives and property of the whole European community in China.” FOR THE ROYAL REGATTA. Crack Yachts to Compete in the Races at Cowes. COWES, Exc., Aug. 4—Cowes Roads to-day presented a brilliant sight, at least 100 yachts being anchored there. Many of these craft fly racing flags, forty of which are displayed by the Prince of Wales’ cut- ter Britannia, while Eoward Gould’s Niagara flies thirty. The gathering of yachts is the finest in the history of the Royal Yacht Squadron. The number of large yachts now here is much greater than usually takes part in the Cowes regatta, owing, probably, tp the fact that the cu offered by Lord Iveagh, valued at £200, en to schooners in cruising trim, will be sailed for over the Queen’s coufe on Wed- nesday. This is the first year this cup has been offered. Another new prize this season is a cup offered by Emperor William of Germani for schooners and yawls of Euro; buil of forty tons and upward, in cruising trim, the race for which will take place én Fri- day. These two new trophies have brought a number of yachts to Cowes, which other- wl: would not have taken part in the re- gatta. The Ailsa will not raee to-morrow.

GIVEN BULLETS, NOT BREAD. i Troops Fire Upon a Persian Populace for Protesting. TABREEZE, Persia, Ang. 4.—The searcity of bread in this city has caused such an agitation among the inhabitants that on the 3d inst. the authorities ordered the closing of the bakeries fearing that they would be looted. This action so in- | censed the people that they became riot- ous and troops were ordered out. The ap- pearance of the troops further enraged the populace, and it was found necessary to order the soldiers to fire, which they did, killing a score of the rioters, whose bodies were taken to the residence of the Russian Consul, whose protection the people im- plored. The Consul promised to try to obtain a reduction of the price of bread, and with | this object in view visited the Shah’s son, Muzaf-Er-Ed-Din, the Governor of the province, whe promised the desired reduc- tion. The bakeries remained closed throughout August 4, and the people be- came clamorous for the deposition of the Governor of the city, whom they believed to be answerable for the trouble. The fighting between the troops and people continues. A ged o Five Miners Rescued. LONDON, Exc., Aug. 4.—A dispatch from Saltcoats on the Bay of Ayr, Scot- land, says that five miners have been taken out alive from the Auchenhavie col- liery which was flooded yesterday. The rescued men were completely exhausted. The rescuing parties are continuing their search for the other miners who were in the colliery at the time of the accident. R T Insurgents Defeated Regulars. LONDON, Exe., Aug. 4—The Chronicle to-morrow will print a Constantineple dis- patch giving an account of a severe en- gagement between Turkish troops and in- surgents near Strurhitza. The date of the fight is not given. According to the dis- patch the Turks lost 500 killed or wounded wogilc the insurgent’s loss was less than 100. DELAYED BY AN ACCIDENT, The Over-Due Steamer La Touraine Arrives at New York. Forced to Run With One Engine Owing to the Breaking of Plates. NEW YORK, N. Y., Aug. 4.—The fast | express steamer La Touraine, which should have put in an appearance at this port yes- terday, did not arrive at Sandy Hook light- ship until 4:30 this morning. On boarding La Touraine at Quarantine this morning it was learned that an accident had occurred which resulted in the stoppage of the port engine for thirty hours, the steamer pro- ceeding under the starboard engine at re- duced speed. On Wednesday, July 31, about 4 o’clock | sation was felt, making the after part of the steamer tremble. Captain Santelli or- dered the engines stopped immediately. boats were lowered and dropped under the stern to examine the screw. It was found that some of the plates on the after part between the screws had parted and the port screws in each revolution were strik- miagainst them. s the starboard screw seemed to move clear of all obstructions Captain Santelli decided to wotk that screw only. Th- life- boats were taken aboard and the steamer proceeded at reduced speed for tbirty bours. £ Later the port engine was again started, but both engines were under reduced speed. It is believed that La Touraine will be hauled out on the drydock to re- | air the damage to the plates. La Touraine | Feit Havre July 27 with 512 passengers. e RETURN OF CORNELL MEN. They Complain of the Garbled Accounts ! of Their Race. NEW YORK, N. Y. Aug. 4.—The steamer St. Louis arrived yesterday. Among her passengers was the Cornell crew which rowed the Henley regatta. A United Press representative met the St. Louis at quarantine and interviewed Free- | born, captain of the boat during the races. ‘When shown the report of the races fur- nished by the Chicago Associated Press, Freeborn said that the account was a mis- statement of facts and was greatly exag- gerated. - The only man in the boat who gave out was Fennell, who caught a crab at the mile when the boats were even. The oar struck him in the side, and the ac- cident decided the issue of the race. The ‘men were then, in his opinion, in ‘iust as good physicial shape as their rivals, and it would have been a close race had the ac- cident not happened. ‘When asked as to whether the men were overtrained or not, Freeborn said that he did not think they were. He himself weighed fourteen pounds more than he did last year, while they did not work one- half as hard as they would have done here, but they had three orfour decided]; outof condition, owing to climatic condi- tions.

Recover Your Manly Vigor EN WHO HAVE WASTED THE sprightly energy of youth In excessive and fast living—men who bave 0st that mental ambi- tion which belongs (o vigorous and well-kept man- hood at any age: in shori, men who by early habits and misiakes, and the later excesses and dissipa- tions, weakened the foundation of sexual and mental vigor and who are, gk while still young in years, wasted in vital _forces, d dull in intel- lect, with the phys- jcal being shaky and deveid of en- durance. To such men electricity, as applied by Dr. Sanden’s Electrio Belt, is wonderful in the immediate effect it jro- duces. The slow, continuous infusion of the cur- rent gradually setsall the weak functions in ac- tion, stores new power in them, and in a_few days manhood begins to return and sexual forces de- velop, the memory beeomes clearer and the intel- lect sharper. Manhood in all its eledyents follows the application of this wondertul belt. Book, “Three Classes of Men,” with full {nformas tion, free, sealed, by mail.
