Views of British Papers.


LONDON, Sept. l3-The Daily Telegraph
this morning says: The fact appears to be
that Lord Dunraven found 1t impossible to
get Justice for his yacht with such mob
of craft about the course, and he took the
simplest way OF retreating from the match.
The Chronicles comment is: Valkyrio
HIS people would not risk the lives of her
crew among the pitiless swarm. We
think they were right. 1t is better to toe
the mark and then contemptuously give up
the contest until there is an act of con.
gress to keep the course clear, or until
some step Is taken to insure something
like fair conditions. We suppose this will
end the rather CHASTITY farce called tho
international yacht race Of 1895, and
probably all Anglo-American yacht rae
ing on the other side of the Atlantic. We,
at all events, can boast that we can show
our American friends how to conduct a
great sporting event with decency and
order.
The Graphic says: Nothing could be
more unsatisfactory than the last chapter in
the struggle for the cup. AS the committee
did not furnish the desired assurance that
there should be o clear course or no race,
the Valkyrie effected merely q formal
start and then retired. In both countries
the utmost sympathy will be felt for the
Earl Of Dunraven. 1t is only fair to add
that the committee appear to have done
their best, but after this fasoo, taken in
connection With previous contests, 1t is
pretty safe to predict that the American
possession of the cup will not be again
challenged until the authorities shall have
made an arrangement for sailing the races
over course which can be kept clear of
distractions.

ing. Az tho reporter left the tcnder he
was informed BY several Of the Wivenhoe
sailors that IL would be 'nll right II the De-
fender came over to their country, she
would get fair play over there. but the
chances were that she would break In
pieces before she got half way across the
OCEAN" The English sailors talked so
loud. and In such bitter tones, that Mr..
Glennie's attention was attracted. He
came out again from his cabin and
ordered the men to stop talking.
General regret was expressed that the
series for the Americas cup, begun 50
auspiciously and promising such rare con-
tests, had ended SO disastrously, for whilo
the question which arose rs to the winner
Of the second race might have been passed
by unheeded had stirring contest taken
place yesterday, the withdrawal of Lord
Dunraven In the third, and perhaps de-
Gliding, event has necessarily had n de-
pressing effect upon all those identified
with the great match, and will probably
have more serious effect in regard to
future international races.

Arc Severely Injured.
Montreal, April 25.-Shortly after 6
o'clock this evening flames were dis
covered in McDonald's tobacco factory,
the largest of the kind in Canada, COW
ering several acres Of ground on On
tario street. The fire made rapid pro-
gress, and in a short time the whole
upper portion of the building was in
flames. The place was crowded with
employees, many of them girls who were
finishing their days work and prepar-
ing to leave for their homes.
Exit was cut off and many Of the
girls had to jump from the upper floors
to save their lives. Ambulances were
called and several girls were removed
to the hospital badly injured.
The firemen seemed powerless and
as the fire is still burning, 1t looks as
If the whole factory and adjoining prop
erty would be DESTROYED. The loss al
ready will reach three-quarters Of a
million of dollars and there is no in
surance. The factory Is the property of
W. c. Mcdonald, the tobacco king of
Canada.
Montrael, April 26.-Eleven persons
were brought to the hospitals last night
suffering from injuries sustained by
jumping. The physicians in charge say
that several of the number are likely
to die before daylight.
The total loss will amount to about
$250O00. The fire was brought unde,
control at l o'clock.

ELECTRIC LOCOMOTIVE.
New Type Has just Been Compile ted NJ the
Baldwin Locomotive Works mt Phiia.
deiphia.


Philadelphia. April 25.-An electric
locomotive of a new type has just been
completed at the Baldwin Locomotive
works for the North American com
pany. which operates the property of
the Oregon and Transcontinental COM
pany and extensive street railway and
electric lighting interests in Milwau-
kee. This locomotive was designed by
Sprague. Duncan 4 Hutchinson, of
New York. and it is intended for spe-
cial experimental work in handling
heavy freight and for switching pur-
poses.
The locomotive resembles somewhat
the ordinary consolidation type used
for heavy freight yard work. There
are four pairs of drivers coupled to-
gether by connecting rods. The driv-
ers are 56 inches in diameter.
The motors, four in number, and
alternating in position. are of the
''continental' iron clad type. the field
magnets consisting of two steel cast
ings, having two field coils placed at
the ends of the motors.
The controlling apparatus in the cab
is so arranged that the engineer sits
at the right side. looking forward, no
matter which way he is running.
The total weight of the engine is
about $4,000 pounds, equally distribut-
ed upon the drivers.

BELOW OF BEEF MAGNATES.
They Claim That Consumption Has Fallen
OFF Forty Per Cent. Since Secretary
Morton became Interested.

Chicago, April 25.-Referr!ng to the
statements made by Secretary Morton,
of the agricultural department, that the
rise In price of live stock had been less
than one dollar a hundred pounds over
the last year price. and that dressed
beef was now five,to ten cents higher In
New York city, G.. +. Swift, of Swift
and company, in an interview today,
said:
81 sold over a million and a quarter
pounds of dressed beef in New York
city last week at 81 cents per pound,
and this same quality Of beef brought
cents during the spring months Of last
year. 1t is claimed that the retail
butchers are asking rs to 80 cents a
pound for this beef, but the secretary
fails to mention that this price is for
| choice porterhouse, while other por-
| tionS of the beeves sell as low as six
cents. This talk by Secretary Morton
has caused beef consumption to fall off
| nearly 40 per cent. throughout the
country, and is one Of the reasons why
the retail butchers are asking high
prices for beef. People are now buying
mutton and pork instead Of beef.
Advance viii Continue.
"The priceof cattle todayis fully $3.50
a hundred higher than It was during
the corresponding period last year, and
| the present indications are that the ad-
vance will continue. Five weeks ago,
before this agitation commenced, live
stock was 1925 hundred higher than
last years prices. OF course, the farm
ers want to receive the highest price
for cattle. and it is the duty Of the
agricultural department to look out for
the farmers, but instead of doing SO,
this agitation has caused a decline of IS
cents per hundred pounds in live
| stock"
Nelson Morris, one of the largest cat
tie growers in the country, said that
! the talk of Secretary aiorton was in
juring the meat trade ali over the coun-
try. Dressed beef was being sold in
| Chicago about u of cent lower than
| In New York.
