The Bronton,s Reef Challenge Cup

The BreMfOaH,S Reef Challenge Cup.
New YORK, Sept. 21.-Compared with
he yacht races in which the English cutter,
the Genesta, took part last week the one
began to-day for the Brenton's reef chal-
lenge cup excited little local interest. The
tug Ocean King does duty as the committee
boat. The cup is a magnificent silver tro-
pny valued at 50, 500. 1t was offered by
Commodore James Gordon Bennett in 1872,
and Is open to be contested for by boats of
all nations. The distance is from
Sandy Hook ightship around Bren-
ton hghtShip, off Newport harbOr,
and return. about 500 miles.
The present is the fourth contest for it,
When near the Sandy Hook Hght-ship, the
tow lines were cast off and the yachts made
sail and prepared for the long trip. The
Luckenbach gave the preparatory signal at
4:49 p. m, having placed herself in posi-
ton little to the southwest of the light
ship. The Dauntless was under main and
foresail, forestry sail. jib, flying jib and
main club topsail, which covered her main
gan topSail. The Genesta carried MAIN
sail, forestry sail, jib, flying jib and club
topsail. At 4:59 the signal to start was
given. The yachts were then to the south
west OF the committee boat. They came
around and passed the nearly abreast of each
other atco:14, the Genesta being to windward.
The Dauntless had set jib topsail and
maintop mast stay-sail. The Genesta did
not set any more sail, but soon after cross
ing the line she passed the Dauntess and
began fast leaving her. The yachts were
heading eastward. The wind was very
light from south southwest and the weather
clear with long swell ON the ocean. At
$50 the Genesta was almost a mile ahead.
When darkness set in, the Genesta was
observed to be nearly two miles ahead of
the Dauntless. The Luckenback had left
them and was heading for home, leaving
the Ocean King to keep the yachts COM
pany. Their progress was not very fast, as
the wind was still very light.

FIviug FroI,a Cholera.

ROME, Sept. 21.-The reports from Pal
ermos regarding the progress of the cholera
show distressing state of affairs there.
Thirty thousand persons have fled from
the city, all the shops are closed and the
streets are almost deserted. There is
great scarcity of food and water and the
epidemic is increasing. The sanitary officers
are attacked by the people every time they
attempt to disinfect the places where the
diseases exist. During the past twenty
four hours 1913 new cases of cholera and
123 deaths from the disease were reported
here. The cholera is spreading in Sicily,
and the situation is becoming serious.
Every town is condoned. Conflicts between
the populace and the military are continu-
ally occurring, and many persons have been
wounded. A large military force is to be
dispatched to the island to restore order

DOrman B. Eaton Resigns.

Special TO Ine OIODe.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 21.-There is a
story current here that Civil Service Com
missioner Dorman B. Eaton has rendered
his resignation to the president. An official
connected with the civil service reform
movement makes the statement that about
two weeks ago Mr.. Eaton addressed to the
president letter containing his resignation.
1t is stated that it is well known among re-
formers that Mr.. Eaton has talked of re-
signing for the last five or six months. 1t is
given out that he is in need of rest,
and proposes to seek recreation abroad. His
means are considerable and he has held the
office only because he felt it to be his duty.
There are those, however, who assert that
Mr.. Eaton wishes to resign because he is
dissatisfied with the way in which the civil
service law is being carried out under this
administration. He has been known to
criticisa it severely, although he still re-
poses his trust in the president. The resig-
nation was offered, it is said. after consul
tation with several officers of the Civil Ser
vice Reform association.
New YORK, Sept. 21.-A Washington
special says that the resignation was sent in
before Mayor Hinckley of New York
brought action in the United States circuit
court to test the constitutional idea of the
civil service law, and there are good reasons
to believe that at the request of the presid-
ent he will withdraw until the
action has been tried. The president
has represented to him that his
resignation at the present juncture will be
interpreted as retreat and sign of weak
ness and might influence the result of the
trial. The president has promised the Civil
Service Reform association that the consti-
tutionality of the law shall be stOutly de-
Tended, and the object Of Mr.. Eaton's visit
to Washington at this time is to prepare de-
fense in the action which is to be brought
before Judge Wallace in New York On
Friday.

Tea Raising in This Country.

Specialt to the Globe.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 21.-A good deal of
fun was made several years ago of the tea
raising experiment undertaken by LeDuc,
then commissioner of agriculture. Many
people will be surprised to learn that the
department is still conducting the work OF
propagation and that there is a steady de-
mand for tea plants. u don't suppose a
week goes by" said Mr.. Nesbit, the chief
clerk of the department, to-day, THAT we
don't have applications for tea plants. Oh,
yes; we ill them right along. The families
who are raising their own tea are not few
by any means. Experiments have demon
strated beyond doubt that we
can raise tea in this country But the pro-
eesses of picking the leaves and curing
them is a tedious one and we can't compete
with the cheap labor of China in that di-
rection. That is the reason why tea-grow-
ing in this country is not likely to attain
commercial Importance. Families, however,
in which there are children to do this light
work, can raise and cure their own tea and
the number of them in portions of the South
who are doing so is increasing. Florida
seems to be especially well adapted for tea
culture. 1t is only question of labor
which restricts the tea crop in this country
to private uses.

Saloon HGen Showing Alarm.


CLEVELAND, O., Sept. 21.-The claim
of the Ohio Democrats that they will have
the solid support of the saloon men will
hardly be made good. There are many of
the latter who see the evils that have come
from their opposition to the Scott law and
their error in not accepting it as cOmpro-
mise and thus heading off prohibition. The
vote of 100000 for a prohibitory amend
ment two years ago stands as a constant
menace to their business, and they are be-
ginning to see that further annoyance on
their part will hasten the thing they would
most avoid. Their bitter fight on the Scott
law undoubtedly caused the prohibitory
amendment vote to be much larger than it
would otherwise have been. Many of the
leading saloon men in Cleveland and else
where are therefore agreeing to support the
Republican candidates for the legislature in
the understanding that the principle of the
Scott law will be adhered to in case the
general assembly is Republican, and that no
prohibitory amendment will be again sub
mitted by Republican votes.

ST. Louis, Sept. 81. - Rev. Father
James McCaffrey of st. Patrick's church
created sensation among the parishioners
and people of other parishes by announcing
from his pulpit that the Catholic children
of his church, who are sent to public schools,
will not be prepared for the per-

by any of the priests of the par
ish, nor would they be received and
given instruction for the celebration of that
event by priests of the Jesuit church.
Father McCaffrey has just returned from
Europe, and this is his first public act.
There are those who believe he is acting
under special instructions from the vicar
general to carry out the wishes of the Balti-
more council. The act has created no end
Of talk among all denominations.

the cases are situated upon a hill near the
town, which has always been considered

demic is said to be caused by the use of well
water polluted in some unknown manner.
