Secure a Contest.

NEW YORK, Dec. lex Commodore
James d. Smith, chairman Of the Amer
ica's cup committee, was shown the inter
view which represen tativc Of the Asso-
ciated Press had in London with Lord
Dunraven Monday night. Mr.. Smith read
the interview very carefully and then said:
''In the first place we did not hold Dun
raven to the ten months notice. We were
willing, if possible, to advance the dates.
Lord Dunraven should have confidence
enough in the committee to know that
they would grant everything that would
not jeopardize the club.
I'm any event the receipt for the cup
would have to be signed whether won I'M
der the rules of the new deed of gift or ac-
cording to Lord Dunraven's present chal-
lenge, as legally it could not be delivered
without receipt. Besides, no club has
the power to add to or take from any Of
the conditions of the deed Of gift"
as the committee likely to reconsider
its action2" asked the reporter.
1.-THE actions of any committee is never
cast iron. But / do not think this COM
mittee is likely to change its decisions"
However, after q moments thought, the
ex-commodore added very emphatically:

LORD DUNRAvEN INTERVIEWED.

Tho English Nobleman Declares His Will
ingness to Enter the Contest Regardless
Of tho Americas Cup, but Must Race
Before the End Of September.
LONDON, Dec. ia representative Of
the Associated Press saw Lord Dunrayen
last night and showed him the cabled in
teryiew with Commodore Smith, Of the
New York Yacht club. Lord Dunrayen
said
Commodore Smith is perfectly correct
in what he says about the New York Yacht
club being willing to advance the dates,
and In view of his statement regard that
difficulty as quite settled. IL could never
have been q real difficulty, as, II I can
build and ft out our yacht for trials here,
then reflt her for the Atlantic passage and
again reflt her for the cup races, surely
the New York yacht people would not find
difficulty in merely building and fitting
out defending yacht In time to race be-
fore October. This question Of time alone
has troubled me. have the greatest objec-
tions to racing after the end Of September.
Now that that trouble Is over the only
stumbling block seems to be the question
of the receipt for the cup. This matter
never entered my mind when decided to

In the same form as that sent in 1892, and
posted it without suspicion that 1t would
not be accepted. II the New York Yacht
club insists that this question Of the re-
ceipt shall be settled before the challenge
is accepted, at least month will tran
spire before meeting of tho Royal Yacht
squadron can be held and time will
thus be dallied away. Anyhow, the
matter quite concerns the two clubs, and
not me. have sent Commodore Smiths
remarks in regard to this matter to the
Royal Yacht squadron, which will deal
with them.
II am only anxious that the New York
Yacht club accept the challenge in order
to enable me to commence the building Of
the new yacht, and that 1t let the receipt
matter stand over for settlement between
the two clubs"
Lord Dunraven concluded by saying:
you can tell the people on tho other side
that all I want is to be allowed to race. II
win l do not care whether they give me
the cup or not"

WASHINGTON, Dec. 1.-THE report Of
the Chesapeake and Delaware canal COM
mission was submitted to congress yester-
day. The board finds the most feasible
route for the construction of the canal to
be the Back Greek route, which is substan-

Chesapeake and Delaware canal. In the
Judgment of the board this route will be
best adapted for national defense, and
will give the greatest facility to commerce.

the bill express the opinion that 1t will

Two KILLED and Many injured ~ an Aoei-
dent to Crowded Gable Cars.
CHICAGO, Dec. 12.--In q collision be-
tween cable cars In the Washington street
tunnel last evening two men were fatally
hurt, Afteep more people wero seriously
injured and score OF others more or less
bruised. The cars were sot on fire by tho
stoves, and for time there was a fearful
panic around the wreck. Morris Smith,
who was internally injured and had both
legs broken, and John Donohue died In
the hospital last night
Both the West Madison street and the
Milwaukee avenue cable lines run through
the tunnel, and at the time the accident
occurred, $50 o'clock all the westbound
cars are damned TO suffocation with people
returning from business. A Madison street
cable train, consisting Of grip car and
two trailers, was two-thirds Of the way
down the incline toward the bottom OF
the tunnel, when cable train Of the Mil
waukee line, also consisting Of three cars
entered the tunnel.
Almost Immediately after starting down
the slope Gripman Il. H. Moran, Of the
Milwaukee avenue car, lost his hold on
the cable and the cars plunged down
the steep incline at fearful speed. At
the bottom Of tho tunnel the runaway
cars struck tho Madison avenue train with
awful force, smashing its rear car into
splinters and demolishing the Milwaukee
grip car Both cars were piled up In q
heap, from which such passengers as were
capable, crawled, battered and bleeding,
while the others were removed by flremen
Each Of the two wrecked cars held about
seventy five passengers, and that a num-
Der Of them were not instantly killed was
