Naturally, with Har- vard’s captain, Higgins, who was the stroke and the best oar, out of the boat with an injured ankle, there i{s to-night at the Yale quarters the utmost confidence in the ability of the New Haven crew to pull out a victory to-morrow in the big four-mile race between the varsity eights, Still there is a grim determination at Red Top,. the Harvard quarters, to do or die, and’ there are not a few to-night who | believe that this doggedness will win the race. In the regatta as a whole there hardly seems to be the usual amount of interest and enthusiasm this year. The {ncoming traing this afternoon failed to bring the crowd of undergraduates which in former years enlivened the eve of the race. All of the races are planned as usual to be rowed down stream with the tide, which at the time will have ebbed ‘about three | hours and be running strong. The four- oared crews will be sent away at 11:40, at the beginning of the course across the river from the Harvard quarters at Red To The crews will Full two miles down stream and finish at the navy yard. Im- mediately afterward the freshmen will start at the navy yard and finish up at the big railroad bridge, a distance of two miles. The observation trains which will have followed the crews down the course will then hurry back to Red Top and about that time the varsity eight will start and pull dnwni& stream four miles.

Pl LONDON, June 28, 4:20 a. m.—General | Rundle had a sharp rifle skirmish near | Senekal on Friday with a large force of | entrenched Boers. He declined to at- tack them. This is the only éresh fight- ing reported. The Boer outposts northeast of Pretoria are busy.

Twelve tnou- sand rifies, all told, have been surrendered to the Britsh. President Kruger is still at Machadodorp. The exposures regarding the hospitals in South Africa have made a great sen- sation in England. They began with three columns of unrestrained language in the Times vesterday from W. A, Burdett- Coutts, Conservative memaber of Parlia- ment for Westminster. - His disclosures have been widely reproduced and they are supplemented thit morning by denunica- tory telegrams and interviews from survi- Vors aml army medical men. The Archbishop of Cape Town, in an ad- | dress before the Society of Good Hope in the Cape Government House on Mon- day, expressed great dissatisfaction at the way in which the sick and wounded | were treated. He declared that the warm | clothing that was absolutely necessary | was freely offered, but was rarely, if ever, djstributed by the army doctors sfck ife on the bare ground and that even | in Cape Town the way the hospitals were mismanaged made one's blood boil. A news agency dispatch from Cape Town says: “Eértatn revelations point to maiteas- ance in connection with the supplies of comforts for the sick and wounded.” The Lourenzo Marques correspondent of the Times. telegraphing vesterday, says: “According to Transvaal advices the | Boers. are entrenched in considerable | numbers in the Middleburg Hills. The | Irish, Hollander and Italian corps are get- | ting ‘uncontrollable. They are Jooting stores and farms., Bar gold is a drug in | the local market, owing to a suspicion { that it is of an inferior quality.

John Legrace, or, as he was sometimes known, Tom Forrest, shot and wounded his wife, from whom he had been separated for some time, and shot and killed himself. The victim of the tragic occurrence, who had been living at Dawson and before at Glénora with a man named Madden, was a resident of this- city two yvears ago. The crime was premeditated. = The would-be murderer arrived at Dawson on a scow on June 6 and wrote a letter, which is balieved to | tell of what he intended doing, addressea to one Jones in the City of Mexico. He went to the river steamer Ora, which was preparing to leave Dawson, and gave the letter to a passenger named Howey, who promised to mall it on reaching “thé out- side. He left here about the end of May and stayed some time at Bennett. He met S. K. Sherwood and Tyer Brown, with | whom he went to Dawson. e he | ave his name as Tom Forrest. They uilt @ gcow and reached Dawson with it three weeks ago. The day following Le- | grace went to Sherwood and asked him | to go downtown with him to see a party. Sherwood onlv walked as far as the post- office and he never saw Legrace alive | again. Then it seems the intending murderer went to find his wife. Two hours later revolver shots were heard from her cabin !in front of the Owl restaurant, and | was seeen to run out with blood stream- ing from her neck. Tn the cabin Le- | grace was found in a bed dying, with re- volver in hard and a bullet hole in his | head. He died during the night. She has recovered.
