The notion that the Western Union Telegraph
Company has any desire for Mr. Baines election
does not seem quite consistent with the appearance
of the name of Mr. Rochester. treasurer of that
pany, is of the boiling Republicans in Eugle-
wood.
The course Of European Powers in regard to weak
States Of late calls for somo new definitions. For
instance the term protectorate." recently illus
tratcd, would seem to mean the establishment of
foreign jurisdiction. by force and arms, over an
unwilling province. SO, too, the term indemnity
will have to be interpreted as sum of money ex-
tortcd from feeble government rs compensation
for the expense to which strong aggressive power
has been put in invading and ovcrrunung de-
fcn+ccss territory. The first crude germ of tho
modern war indemnity" appears in the venerable
fablo of the wolf and the lamb When the wolf
began to complain that the lamb disturbed the
water it is evident that he had already made up his
mind TO demand an indemnity. And curiousy
enough it is the French Republic, the representative
of liberty. equality, and fraternity. tina. has been

II is part of the naval iron-clad theory that such
vessels are capable of inlicting great damage upon
an enemy by rammng. In all the accidental COLI
sions which have occurred between heavy ironcads
however the rammer seems to have sustained quite
rs much injury she inflicted. In the recent col
llson between two British iron -clads the one which
struck the other with her ram appears to have com
plecly disabled herself by the blow. Her stem
crushed in, her l0rciOot torn away her plates wore
started aud had the accident happened IN Seaway
she would probably have sunk ia few minutes
Those experiences evidently throw grave doubt
upon the practicabilty of using tho ram in action
II may be possible TO sink the enemy IN that way
but il looks IA though it quite ~ likely to send
the assailant to- the bottom also. and that is con
tngency not to be lightly risked The truth IL that

TEEMER WINS.

The Pittsburgh ScuIler Wins Handsome
Victory Over Wallace Ross, the New Bruins
wick Champion at Oak Point, n. Y.
NEW YORK, August 4.
The long looked for single scull race be-
tween Wallace Ross, of New Brunswick,
and John Teemer, of Pittsburgh, came of
Saturday before very large assemblage
at Oak Point, resulting in an easy victory
for Teemer by clear length, in 26 min
utes and 80 seconds.
At 6:35 p. m. the men were ordered td
their stations. Teemer was the first to
put his boat in the water. Ross came
out five minutes afterWard. Both men
appeared in splendid condition. The
betting at this point was 500 to $50 OF
Teemer. The Pittsburgh delegatio forced
the odds up to this point. Ross almost
anticipated the starting point, and al
once drew away with tWenty-eighi
stroke. Teemer started off at a Hveltel
rate, making thirty strokes to the minute
Despite this, Ross gradually drew away
and in half a minute showed lead o!
half length. There was no semblanct
of squirting by either rover, but Ross
further increased his lead to a length
at the mile buoy. The swell from the
sound steamers bothered them slightly
but they soon got through the broker
water and then the struggle became deS
perate. As Teemer cut down Ross lee
inch by inch. In quarter of mile
Teemer had spurted to the front and il
another 200 yards he showed open water
1t was now clear to all that Ross was set
tied. Teemer roWed fine stroke while
Ross became very erratic. This, in add
ton to his exhausted condition, made
him labor heavily. At the stake boa
Teemer was leading long way, and thu
time was 1917 IL. From this point t.
the close it was procession, though
Teemer caught bad ''crab."

STILL THE QUEEN.

Maud 8. Says Jay-Eye-See You and Go Yor

Ofthe Little Mare at CIeveland-She Low

CLEVELAND, o., Augusta.
Maud s. surprised everybody Saturday
by beating the wonderful time of 2:1C
made by Jay -Eye-See Friday at Providence.
She made the mile circuit Saturday after.
noon without skip or break in 2:09 3-4.
When the report reached this city hatJay-
Eye-See had lowered the Maud S. record by
aquarter Of a second the greatest interest
was manifested in sporting circles as to
the ability of the little mare to beat it,
and when she rounded the home-streteh
in grand style the excitement was intense.
The wonderful performance is the gen.
eral topic of conversation. It
having been stated that Mand S.
would trot fast mile and prob.
ably endeaYor to lower her record, fully
5000 people were present at the race
track to witness the event; but they had
no idea OF the rare treat that was in
store for them. Very few persons be-
lieved that the driver would endeavor to
beat the time made by Jay-Eye-See Fri
day, and consequently but few bets were
offered. The principal bet was made be.
tween Captain Stone, her former owner,
and Mr.. Lauterbeck, Well-knoWn fan
cier. Barr, the driver, brought Maud on
the track and exercised her frequently be-
tween heats of other races. By four
o'clock she was in fine form and condi-
ton, and President Edwards announced
that Maud S. would then be driven fast
mile for the amusement of the audience.
The pretty little thing watched the weigh.
ing of the driver and other preliminaries
with apparent interest and when the word
was given to go, she gathered herself for
a desperate effort, and before reaching
the first quarter had settled herself into a

maintaining the rapid pace. The third
quarter was trife slower, but after
rounding into the homestretch her speed
was terrific. With her head stretched tor.
ward and her eyes flashing she shot under
the wire like rocket having completed
the circuit in 2:09 3-4, maintaining heI
reputation of Queen
In order to fully appreciate the great
victory of the little mare over time and
space, it must be said that from the start
to the finish the whip never touched her
glossy coat, and it appeared at one time
that little urging on the part of her
driver would have maintained to the
close the gait atWhich she started. When
a few moments later the figures, 2:09 34
were displayed from the judges stand, q
shout that shook the grand stand went
up from the delighted audience. and the
excitement was intense. Enthusiastic
horse fanciers are claiming that this is
not the limit to the mares abilities, and
predict she will yet reduce the figures to
not far from two minutes. The time al
