The News OF the Yacht Race Laid

the Occurrence

The News OF the Yacht Race Laid
Down in st. Paul One Minute After
the Occurrence.
ST. PAUL, MINI, October 9.-The
Dispatch this afternoon In connection
with its report OF the Americas cup
yacht race at New York, publishes the
following:
The facility with which perfect news
service can obtain and transmit news was
never better illustrated than in the re-
ports Of the yacht race of Sandy Hook to-
day.
The Associated Press had three stations
ashore and depended beside upon a service
of carrier pigeons, loosed from boat al
ways abreast OF one or the other OF the
racers.
The result was that there was not mo-
ment Of unnecessary delay in receiving
bulletins, which reached the Dispatch of1ice
at almost minute intervals during the en-
tire course OF the race.
The nual result was bulletined In tho
Dispatch, and was received one minute
after the Vigilant had crossed the winning
line.
This is one Of the most remarkable feats
from news standpoint ever recorded, and
stamps as absolutely perfect the system
and machinery or the Associated Press.
The same character Of service obtained
on Saturday, and while the finish was later
in the day the Associated Press bulletined
the result within two minutes after
the Vigilant crossed the line
and half hour before the
announcement reached St Paul through
any other channel The Associated Press
is about as near perfection as news SER
vice may be.

The House Democratic Caucus Decides

The House Democratic Caucus Decides TO
Wipe Out the Federal Election Laws.
WASHINGTON, D. c., October 9.-The
decree of the Democratic caucus at the
House tonight was that the Tucker
bill repeating every vestige OF the Fed
eral election laws, except one statute,
should be passed tomorrow.
Over l40 members were present, indl-
eating that the Democrats will have
Quorum tomorrow. A sentiment exist
ed in the caucus, notably among some
of the Northern Democrats, led by Mr.
Fitch and Mr.. Springer, In favor OF
leaving on the statute books the declar-
atory statutes regarding the fourteenth
and fifteenth amendments on the ground
that il would look badly for a Demo-
cratic Congress to blot out all federal
election laws.
Col. Oates favored also an amendment
permitting U. S. Judges to have Juris-
diction over infractions OF election laws
at Federal elections. 1t was also dis
covered that a stray statute, 5,52S, not
included In those repealed, permitted
by inference, troops at the polls. The
general sentiment echoed by Mr..
Tucker, Bourke Cochran and Patter-
son, OF Tennessee, in strong speeches
was fo- passing the Tucker bill modi-
fed so as to include the stray No. 5,52S.
Speaker Crisp, however, called atten-
tion to the fact that owing TO the pc
cuiar parliamentary situation result
ing from the special order under which
the House was operating, no amend
ments were in order o-morrew, save
such as had already been ofered-the
substitute of Chairman Fitch and the
amendments OF Mr.. Burrows and Mr..
Lacey.
1t was decided unanimously to pass
the Tucker bill as it stands, and have
it amended in the Senate. A resolution
adopted was as follows:
ResoIUcd-That it is the sense OF this
caucus that the pending bill should be
passed by the House of Representatives
on tomorrow, and that the Democrats
should present an unbroken column In
its support.
