"Yesterday I interviewed many dele

In declaring the Schwarihoff speech a
smashing blow, pulverising the argu
ment of General Don Beer Poortuegal
and Colonel Jlllnskl. The effect was
tremendous within the conference
when Schwarihoff pointedly exclaim
ed: 'Germany is not ruined. On the
contrary, her wealth, contentednesa
and standard of life (he used these
English words) are daily Increasing.'
"Altogether his speech was the great
est sensation of the conference hither
to, nobody expecting Germany to re
ject the Russian proposals in k
brusque and unconditional a mtmner.'
"When the disarmament propositi
came on the first feeling of most of
the members was to reject everything
forthwith. M. De Steal, seeing this,
went up to the chalrmnn and asked
him to propose a sub-committee. On
the division all the delegates voted for
the postponement of the consideration
of military disarmament until after ;
the report of the sub-committee, ex
cept those of Germany and Austria,
who voted for its immediate consider

gate abstained from voting, and the
United States at first sided with Ger
many, but Captain Crosier was finally
talked over, and he voted with the ma
jority. "Colonel Gross Von Schwarihoff
spoke for over half an hour with over

considered admirable, and the mem

THE SHAMR0CI LAUNCHED.
Meets Kith a Collision Whleh Canaan
. Bu Hllffht Damage
I London, June J7. Sir Thomas Lip
ton's eup challenger Shamrock was
launched at 3 o'clock yesterday after
noon at Mlllwall. Lady Russell chris
tened the yacht with the customary
bottle of champagne, saying:
"I christen you Shamrock. God bless
you! Good luck to you! May you bring
back the cup."
Three cheers were then given, and,
on a signal from Lady Russell, the
boat and the cradle glided safely into
the water, with her entire crew and
many workmen on board. As the
Shamrock reached midstream from the
slips a barge collided with her, strik
ing the yacht's bow above the water
line. There was a great cry when the
Shamrock struck, especially from sev
eral members of the Llpton party who
witnessed the launch from the river.
But ft was soon ascertained that the
damage done was slight, and as a tug
towed the yacht towards the dock hun
dreds of whistles and horns made a
tremendous din.

ADMIRAL DEWEY ON EXPANSION.

Minneapolis, June 24. George H.
HoUlen who has Just returned from
the Philippines, tells of a talk with
Atfmtf ai , Dewey In Manila during
which the latter expressed expansion
ist eonvfctlons of the strongest type.
The admiral requested Holden to give
an opinion on the future course of the
gpverpment in the Islands, and when
Ms chller declared that the American
people could not afford to withdraw,
that they were building for the future
and not for the present, and that thoy
owed It to the world to remain, he
heartily approved of the words.
"Impress your view upon your
friends and every American cltlxon,"
said Dewey.
Holden was asked by the Admiral
to visit a certain member of the for
eign relations committee of the senate
and urge him to have a law passed ex
tending citizenship to the 60 Chinese
boys who participated in the battle of
Manila hay.
"They were good enough to fight for
us, and they are good enough to be
American cltlaens," said Hewey.

At the crack of the pistol the two
four oared crews from Cornell ana
Pennsylvania took the water together,
but the Pennsylvania stroke started
at 30, while the Cornell stroke wa.-
only 34. The Pennsylvania stroke,
while not as prettily rowed as Cor
nell's, hud much more go In It, an. I

the Quakers had shoved tholr boat's i
nose ahead of the lthacans. From a 1
mere gain of Inches in the first half a j
mile the gain of the Pennsylvania boar
bacami one of feet as they neared the !
mile mark. Twice the CornelllanM
tried to reduce the lend, hut each time
the Quakers responded and maintain
ed the lead of one length, whleh they
had when they struck the bridge. It
was hure that a collision seemed al
most imminent, owing to the swell
created by a forryboat. It was averted,
however, and when they cleared the
great abutments It was seen that the
Peunsylvanlans had a lead over Cor
nell of fully a length and a quarter.
From this point of the battle to the
finish there was little material change,
Pennsylvania crossing the line a win
ner by a length nnd a half.
The freshmen race was one of the
I'loxakt and moat axcltlna' races seen
on the river in years, the Columbia
crew giving the Cornell crew a shurp
and pretty fight for first place and
making phenomenal time, considering
the slowness of their stroke. At tho
sound of the pistol the three crews
got away In a bunch, but at the set
tling down of the stroke to the crew's
usual style it was seen that. Cornell
had poked the pointed nose of her
shell a few feet ahead of the line. For
the first half a mile the struggle was
so exciting that the spectators arose
on tho press ear and in the observa
tion train and cheered for each crew.
Cornell was rowing a long, sweeping
stroke of 34, whtle Pennsylvania was
rowing at the rate of 35. OolumhU
waa rowing a phenomenally long
stroke, 32. the wonder of all of the
experts on the train, for the boat went
along almost as feat as the Cornel!
boat.
As the crews reached the mile mark,
with the Cornell boat about a halt
length out from the bunch, Columbia
seemed to gain, and there were shouts
of approval as the nose of the boat
crept up. But the old Cornell form
whs there, Never did the stroke go
above the 34 mark, and the speed came
from Increased power In the stroke.
Columbia was steady in its stroko also,
only hitting it up to 33, hut the boat
began to lose nfter the mile was pass
ed, and soon Cornell had a lead of .
clear length. Pennsylvania waa in the
meantime steering erratically, espe
cially at the mile mark, going out of tho
course badly. In this way she lost
some speed, and although the ore
pulled a stout stroko. and r.ld It clean
ly, they dropped behind rapidly, the
nose of their boat as they came under
the bridge being Just even with the
stern of the Columbia ho"t.
Tho race after the mile nid n hrlf
point was passed was between C -lumbia
and Cornell. Amid tl.e toot
ing of whistles and the cheers of
the Cornell contingent the bol crow
ed the llnlbh line with a quarter ol a

Joseph Chamberlain's Speeoh to
Birmingham Unionists.
A MOST DETERMINED ATTITUDE.
"The Transvaal Tj Flagrantly Vio
lating the Equality the London Con
ventlon We Intended 10 Secure. "
Tha GovernmentWtll Not Draw in-i
Hlrmlnghatn, Eng., June 27. -Joseph
Chamberlain, secretary of state for
tho colonies, addressing the Unionists
of this city last evening, reviewed care
fully the Transvaal question.
In the course of his speech he SHld
that, owing to the enormous military
preparations of the government of the
South African republic. Great Hrltaln
had been compelled to Increase the
Hrltlsh garrison in Cape Colony and
Natal, entailing an additional ex
penditure of 500,000 annually.
"If the reforms which Lord Ripon
proposed in 1M4 had been accepted,"
said the minister, "there would have
been no raid and no crisis at the pres
ent. Hut the raid tied the hands of
the government and prevented the
application of pressure."
Mr. Chamberlain said the govern
ment had tried to establish friendly re
lations with President Kruger, but all
their advances had been received With
contempt. He then proceeded to eulo
gle Sir Alfred Mllner, governor "f
Cape Colony and Hrltish hlh com
missioner for South Africa. The gov
ernment accepted lull responsibility for
the actions of that official. As for tlx
counter proposals of Mr Kruger. they
did not constitute even a fair Instal
ment of reform.
After denouncing In the strongest
terms the attitude und actions of th j
Boers, Mr. Chamberlain, with great
deliberation and emphasis, added:
"The Transvaal's enormous secret
service fund haa procured It frtendl
and advocates In every country. The
way the Hrltish subject there is treated
Is not only menace to them, but In
terferes with our prestige among the
natives, who now regard the Hoera.
j and not roe iintisn. as tne paramount
power.
Resides the bren.-hos of the London
convention the Transvaal is flagrantly
violating the equality that convention
was Intended to secure. Its mlsgov
ernment Is a festering sore, poisoning'
the whole atmosphere of South Africa.
The Dutch In Cape Colony and Natal
would be In the nappies! condition, but
so long as the disease of hatred nnd
suspicion prevails in Trunsvaul It Is
Impossible to stop the contagion.
"Four times since Independence wap
granted we have been on the verge of
wnr with the Trunsvaal. It Is erron
eous to say the Hrltish government
wants war, but It Is equally erroneous1
to say that tha government will draw
back, now that it has put its hand to
the plow.
"We hope that the efforts that are
now being made will lead to an amf
cable arrangement, for Great Britain
only dealres Justice, but there comes
a time when patience con hardly be
distinguished from weakness and when
moral pressure becomes a farce, that
cannot be continued without loss of
self respect. I trust that time may
never come In this Instance, but If It
does Britons will Insist upon finding
the means to secure a result essential
to the peuce of South Africa."
