TIipsp arc the results as predicted by
those who are recognized as, or alleged
to be. experts In aquatics. There are.
plenty here today, many of them men
who have watched the crows train,
and who believe that they know some
thing of the relative capacity of each.
who will not concur In these selec
tions. The Judgment as to Wisconsin
winning the 'varsity race comes from
.in cxeillent sotiitp, and after those
pronouncing such Judgment had scon
the crew on the river last night. This
wan the practice of which O'Uoa said
he was not ptoud, but the knowing
ones winked and called attention to
the fact that lust year nobody knew
of tho splendid ability or Wisconsin's
crew, while Its conch was continually
bemoaning th" fact that his men weio
not In the most perfect shape. Watch
ed from the Associated Press boat last
evening and with unfavorable water
conditions, Wisconsin's 'varsity crow
kept the boat perfectly trim and sent
her along at a marvelous speed, with
out a check between the strokes.
There arc still those who believe that
Columbia, because of her wonderful
time row the other day. will have a.
splendid chance for first place. But It
Is generally believed, despite protesta
tions that It Is a settled fact that tho
i lew Is not rowing as well as It did a
week ago, while both Cornell and Wis
consin and even Pennsylvania's new
crew have all Iminoved.
No matter whnt the critics may say
or how winners may ho picked for the
next lorty-elght hours, the fact le
malns that this varsity race will be
one of the most picturesquely exciting
events ever s'ecn in college aquatics.
There Is no heavy betting on any of
the crews mentioned for Ilrst place,
and when there Is betting no odds are
offered.
The Poughkeepsle Course.
Tho beautiful four-mile stretch of the
Hudson rler, known ns the Pough
keepslo cour.se, as straight as an arrow-
and with a current so swift that
faster time can he made on It than
elsewhere, has been the scene of tho
most Important college boat races that
have been lowed within the past four
years, or since 189S, when the course)
was Ilrst brought to public notice,
through Its selection for the triangular
j ace between Cornell, Columbia and
Pennsylvania universities, composing
tho membership of the Intercollegiate
llowing association.
In the following year (iS), Har
vard, having disagreed with Yale anil
severed athletic relations, made a two
years' agreement to row Cornell and
accordingly, with the consent of Col
umbia and Pennsylvania, a participant
In tho memorable four-coi noted race on
the Poughkcepsle course, in which Cor
nel established u new world's record
for four mllo.s of nineteen minutes,
twenty-nine seconds. In that year Yale
was at Henley and thcie was no iuc
at New Lon Ion.
In lr,H7, Harvard and Yale had made
up their differences and were anxious
to resume their old relations, but, as
Harvard would not break Its agree
ment with Cornell and was unwilling
to race In two different places, theio
was no alternative for Yale but in
como to Poughkcepsle and enter a race
iwllh Harvard and Cornell, which she
did. al.though Yale declined to com
pete with Columbia and Pennsylvania.
Consequently there were two races heie
that year, tho first between Yitr- Har.
vatd and Cornell, and a week later
Cornell rowed Columbia and Pennsyl
vania, winning1 both events. In that
year the Yale freshmen made on this
course a new two. mile record for elght
oared ciews, of 9.19V...
In IMS. Yale and Harvard went back
to New London, and Cornell, on their
Invitation, competed with them there,
rowing Columbia and Pennwylvanla a
welj later at Saratoga. Hence, there
v 'J no racing at Poughkcepsle that
'ar.
In 1899. Cornell being unwilling to
row two races in two different places,
declined to gu to New London to meet
Harvaid and Yale, but (he Interpol,
leglate association invited those, col
leges to enter the race on tho Hudson
between Cornell, Columbia and Penn
sylvanlu. Harvard and Yale declined
the Invitation, and since then they have
ceased to be a factor In rowing at
Poughkcepsle. In the same year, the
Vnlverslty of Wisconsin nccepted an
Invitation to enter the Cornell. Cnlum-bla-Pennsylvnnla
race here, and Its
crew beat Cornell and Columbia nnd
crowded Pennsylvania closely for flint
place.
Last year Wisconsin came again,
hrltiglng a freshman bh well ns a 'var
iety crew. They won the frcshmnu
event, and again finished second In the
university race. Tho University of
Georgetown was another entry In tho
university race last year.

OUR TRADE IN
PHILIPPINES
Marked Increase During tlie Calen
dar Year 1900 Over the Com
merce o! Previous Year.
VALUE OF MERCHANDISE
For the Year of 1000 It Is Set Sown
at $27,765,100 Tho Orenbost Im
portation for Any One Year in tho
History of Archipelago An In
crease of 35 Per Cent. Over the
Imports of 1800 Direct from tho
United States.
11 Kxcliwiie Wire from The AMOciatdl Pre
Washington, June 30. A marked In
crease In the trade of tho Philippine
Islands during tho calendar year of
JliOO over the commerce of the previous
year Is set out In. a statement made
public today by the division of insu
lar affairs of tho war department. The
value of Imported merchandise, gold
and silver, for 1900 is set down at
J27,7C.",100. This, according to the war
department's statement, was the
greatest Importation for any single
year In the history of tho archipelago.
In IS'Jii the Imports amounted to
$20,440,074 In value, thus showing an
increase of nearly thirty-six percent.
In favor of 1900. According to an es
timate based upon data collected by
the British consul at Manila, tho ap
proximate value of Imports Into the
Philippines for IS95 was $7,015,000; for
1S9G, $9.L'92..")00. and for 1897, $9,120,000.
The total Imports from China and
Hong Kong for 1900 nmounted to $9,
5,44.1 and for 1S99, $9,0SI, 635.
It has been shown as regards tho
statistics of Imports Into the Islands
from tho I'nltcd States that they do
not include a large amount of mer
chandise that Is Imported Indirectly,
Including such staples as wheat llour,
meat produces, cotton manufactures
and many other articles. A large pro
portion of this trade Is recorded as
Imports from Hong Kong, which an:
undoubtedly re-exported from that
port to the islands.
Imports from 1000.
The Imports from the United States
direct for 1900 shows an Increase of
$S01,344 over those of 1S99, while the
imports from Hong Kong In 1900 show
a nateiial decrease from the estimate
figures of 1899.
This would lndlcatr, as the shipping
facilities in Manila harbor are being
Improved, direct shipments to Manila,
are Increasing and that thera Is a
corresponding decrease In the re-exportation
of merchandise from Hong
Kong to the Philippines.
The Imports Into the Philippines
from the United States direct In 1900
show an Increase over 1S99 of fifty
nine percent; from the United King
dom, 72 per cent; from Ciermany, 77
per cent., from France, 233 per cent.
The Imports from Spain show a de
crease from those of 1S99 of 23 per
cent. The total value of merchandise,
gold and silver, exported from the
Philippines during the calendar year
1900 amounted to $26,7:11,462 against
$18,273,3SS for 1S99 nnd an average from
1SS0 to 1891 of $20,326,961.
The exports to the United States de
creased from $4,040,233 in 1S99 to $2,
968,831 in 1900.

CUBANS TO DISCUSS
ELECTORAL LAW
Work of the Coming Wo ok That
Is Before the Constitutional
Convention.
Hy KxtluMtc Wire from The Axoclated Prtiw.
Havana, Juno 20. During the (onilug
week tho constitutional convention will
discuss the electoral law. The project
submitted by the commission provides
only for the election of congressmen,
governors, state representatives, mayors
and cotincllmen. No agreement has
been been reached as to whether or not
to elect the president and senators by
direct popular vote.
The discussion of the electoral law
will undoubtedly open up un argument
by the conservatives against a federal
icpubllc with many provincial oMcms,
as entailing heavy expenditure. The
conservatives will oppose granting ab
solute autonomy to the provinces and
municipalities. An efl'oit will be made
to change the constitution and to In
vest the central government with ap
pointive and veto power.
Universal suffrage seems to he a
popular movement, but the general
opinion Is that It will he impossible to
get the convention to change the form
of voting.
(lovernor General Wood is improving,
but his physicians advise him to desist
from public duties for a time. He te
celved the cabinet secretaries yesterday
and today.
