LONDON, Sept. %. Mr.. j. M. Topper,
the yacht designer, came Is London to-
day, and had conference with Mr..
Charles Day Rose, regarding the details
of the yacht with which it Is proposed to
challenge for the Americas cup. 1t was
agreed to communicate with the secretary
OF the Royal Victoria Yacht Club, and
that official cabled as follows to the New
York Yacht Club: "The formal challenge
by mail will follow, and will read: In be-
halt of the Royal Victoria Yacht Club,

When a representative OF The Associ-
ated Press showed this cable message
TO ex-Commodore James q. Smith,, chair
man OF the Americas cup committee,
the veteran yachtsman read the news
eagerly and said: .tThis indeed, is very
sportsmanlikee challenge, and sfH very
glad to hear of il. or course, our COM
mittee has nothing TO do win It, but
when the direct challenge arrives, have
no doubt that special meeting OF the

preliminary cable, Mr.. Rose said that he
begged TO challenge for the Americas

conditions satisfactory TO the cup COM

previous cablegram, and leaves the con-

a soutberly direction to the corner OF the
house, then went east and then north, un-
til he came to the open window OF the
room OF Fred Alexander. Mr.. Alexander
sat at the window reading a novel, and
hearing the noise as the snake crawled
along the wires, looked out of the win
dow to learn the cause. Frightened?
"Well, I guess not, - said Alexander, who
was Wiling to admit he was scared.
"Of course i did not want him in my

Frederic M. SaCkett is Said to Be
Slated for the Appointment.
General Elisha Dyer so Long in the Office Will Retire
Within the Next Few Weeks.
His Excency Governor Charles Warren pp will Commission the New
Adu ant General Pending Convening Of Assembly.

1t has long been understood in military
circles that Adjutant General Elisha
Dyer has for year or more designed TO re-
tire from the service. Indeed he has re-
manned In office only TO complete the
elaborate and exhaustive work OF getting
out the revised ad1utant generals report
OF the military forces from Rhode Island
engaged In the rebellion, IL being his free
ly announced purpose 10 resign without
waiting for the expiration OF his term
on the completion OF this task.
The report has been under way for
nearly six years and was in contempla-
tion and preliminary preparation before
that. II is now completed, the second
and final volume b aving just come from
the press of K. l.. Freeman * Co. The
work may be said 10 be a monument to
General Dyer, as II is credit TO the
State, surprising in thoroughness, accu-
racy, compactness, and permanent value
anything o. the sort that the other States
have yet produced. Accordingly, the
rumor that General Dyers' retirement
would follow soon upon the coming OF
the book from the press Is probably we'll
founded. There IL said to be only one
other thing thar for the present holds
back the handing OF the adjutant gen.
erals resignation TO his commander-in-
chief and that Is the naval militia organi-
zation. General Dyer H., in a large meas
ure, the father of the Rhode Island naval
reserve, and Is exceedingly anxious 10
have the battalion organization com
pleted. This ambition awaits only the
organization of the Providence company
and that is now well along and IL is ex-
pected will be completed not later than
the middle OF October. In all probability
General Dyer's retirement will follow
on the election of battalion officers of
the Rhode Island naval militia by the
officers of the three companies in Provi-
dence, Bristol and Newport.

RECORD OF SORDAN.
Detective Parker Nabbed n Thief-An
Important Arrest.

A few nights ago, officer Burns of the
Oakland street station heard a rustling
noise in some weeds in the rear OF NJ. ID.
Peck's drug store, 1861 Broad street, and
upon investigation found two men, and
as was stated in THE NEWS the following
evening, he had bard tussle with
them. AS the officer was alone, he could
manage but one OF them, and the other
got away. The one captured was good
lind, for the detective department have
discovered that this man mas been con-
nected with three, and perhaps four more
cases of breaking and entering.
The man gives his name as William Sor-
dan, and comes from New York. lie
says that he LETT New York about three
months ago, and stopped at Hartford and
Worcester. lie came here about three
weeks ago.
Sordan's lay is to enter vacant houses
in the day time, or early in the motning.
When arrested by officer Burns he could
only be held as a suspicious person. He
was detained until Saturday evening at 9
O'Clock and then discharged, as this was
as long as he could be deprived OF his lib
erty.
Detective Parker was confident that he
was not an honest man, and still contin-
ued to look for some evidence that he
could keep his hold on the fellow for a
longer time. Among the articles found
on Sordan was a common handkerchief
and lead pencil, and Mr.. Parker noti-

IN FINANCIAL TROUBLE.
Az Old Established Jewelry Firm Tenn
porarily Crippled.

One of the oldest and best accredited
jewelry manufacturing concerns III this
country is financially embarrassed, owing
to the stringency in the money market,
and the dullness in the trade. 1t is that
of Joseph IA. Tanning Il Company, sue
cessors to Potter * Tanning, esta ablished
way back in the SOS, or earlier. Incl
dentally the NJ $. Tanning Novelty Com
pany is hauled into the predicament, NJ.
s. Tanning being a son OF Mr.. Joseph II.
Tanning. The concern is located at the
corner of Harrison and Sprague streets.
1t is understood that the situation is not
so very bad, and that among the credi-
tors much leniency and sympathy are ex-
pressed, 1t being agreeable all around to
accept go cents on The dollar in liquida-
tion. The senior Tanning is very we'll
known and much respected as an up
right business man, as well as being
prominent member OF several OF the prin-
cipal clubs hereabouts. He is president
of the New England Manufacturing jew
eler's Association, and member OF the

fed all persons whose houses had been en-
tered TO call at his Office. and see IL they
could identity the articles named.
Yesterday morning Mr.. Wheelight, fa-
ther OF Mrs. Elsie I. King, who lives at
165 Brown street, called and said that he
could identify the pencil, as il was one
that had peen bought by MIR. King when
in Europe sometime ago. He took the
handkerchief 10 Mrs. King and she iden-
titled il as one belonging TO her.
The detectives then began search for
Sordan, they looked ip every lodging
house in the city but did not hnd him.
At o'clock last evening, Sordan walked
along Washington street and was seen by
Mr.. Parker.
Mr.. Parker spoke to him, and as the
man supposed that everything was all
right walked into the detectives office,
and when charged with entering Mrs.
Kings house, denied all knowledge OF 1t,
but after being questioned by the detec-
tive, and showed just how he got into
the house and what he stole, he admitted
having done the job.
1t has also been proven that he is the
chap that broke into MIR. Blake's house
on Updike street, and the Mauran house.
In the latter house he was nearly cap
tured by officer Naham Willard, for, as
the officer was trying the doors in the
rear of the house, he saw the form of
man going out through the front door,
but by the time Mr.. Willard had got TO
the front Of the house, the man was out
of sight.
There are several other houses that have
been entered within a short time, and
nearly all can be traced to Sordan.
Mr.. Peck, the druggist, is very much
elated over the work of officer Burns, for
on that night he had forgotten to lock
his safe, and had also left S400 in 1t.
In all of the houses entered by Sordan,
the contents of all drawers and closets
were found strewn about the floor, and
il is almost impossible for the families to
say what has been taken. At bis room,
All Weybosset street, almost a wagon load
of goods were found, and persons whose
houses have been entered would do well
to call on Detective Parker, and see IL
any of their goods are in the latter's pos
session.
In the Sixth District Court this morn
ing Sordan pleaded guilty TO breaking
and entering Mrs Kings house, and he
was bound over to the higher court in
the sum of 5000.
Before the grand jury meets again the
police department are in hopes that suffi-
cient evidence will be found to sustain, at
least, three more cases against him.
