THE DEFENDER.
Her Mast Unstepped Will Be Ready For
 Work Monday-Denial That She Is Strained


 Bristol, R. l., Aug 23-The Defenders mast was unstepped this morning and now lies on the pier of the works here, where gang of men are at work strip ping it. The new steel gaff is all ready and the steel bone is not expected to be finished before next Tuesday and will not be used in the trials with the Wig liant. The steel gaff will probably not be used until after the races next week. The mast for the Defender will be stripped tomorrow and the work of rig ging her will be rushed. The boat will be ready by Monday and will at once leave for New York. She suffered not the slightest injury by touching the mud yesterday afternoon. All on board the Defender expected that she would ground, as there was very low tide.
 MT. Iselin was seen today, and while he did not care to talk very much said freely that there is absolutely no truth in the story that the hull of the boat is in any way injured The mast was sim ply weak. As to the boats going aground at low tide it is almost to be expected here
 MT. Woodbury Kane said: "The boat is all right, and the trouble was not With the hull but with the mast, which was trifle light, and showed signs of buck ling"
 MT. Herbert Leeds was positive that the boat was not strained a particle. He said: Do you think there IS any thing wrong with a boat that carried all her sails in a good fresh southwest breeze and logged twelve and half knots from New London? If her plates were strained in the least no chances would be taken in sailing around BITS tol.
 We have long known that the mast was too light, and when it began to show it's weakness it was decided better to withdraw from the race and not FISK taking the mast out of her with a possl- bility of it going over the side. stralning the aluminium plates and perhaps putting a hole through the boat.
 MT. Iselin cared nothing for the As tor cup and thought it was better 10 take no chances. He could have kept on, and I am satisfied the Defender would have beaten the Vigilant, but the boat was withdrawn because it is too near racing time to have to repair accidents, and there is plenty to be done on the boat"

Is the Way an Ex- Minister to Hawaii Char
 acterizes the Government.
 New York, Aug. 23.-Major woodhouse, ex-British minister to Hawaii, who ar rived here this morning from Honolulu, was seen tonight by reporter and spoke freely of the situation in Hawaii He declined, however, to predict the future of the country or Ex-Queen Liliuokalani and carefully avoided answering any question touching on the way he had been treated since the monarchy was, overthrown. af
 ,"rhe government of Hawaii at the present time can be described in a very few words" he said. Tt is a despotic oligarchy propped tip by bayonets. Just before I left Honolulu l asked permls- sion of the Hawaiian authorities to make my farewell to the queen, to whom l had been accredited as British ambassador, but was refused I had no opportunity of seeing her or ascertaining what her con dition was. All know is that she is a state prisoner in her own palace.
 'The present situation of the country is very discouraging. There are claims to the amount of between $4OO,0O0 and $500,0 on behalf of British subjects against the government for illegal ar There are also claims for about $50,OO0 on the part of the United States govern ment for illegal arrests. Imprisonment and deportation of American subjests, and in one case compensation has already been asked for.
 ..The financial condition of the country is very bad, and the government is get. ting deeper into debt every day. If all the claims were allowed there would be, no money to meet them, and there is. no saying what may transpire. The native Hawaiians and the English residents want a monarchy, but the government and it's supporters want annexation to America"
 Major Woodhouse said he was unable to give any estimation of the numerical strength of the two parties, but added that tbe government had control of every thing.

His Identity Has Been in Doubt for Several
 Years,


 Years.
 Atlanta, Ga., Aug. 23-A special to the Constitution from Dallas, Ga., says that Rev. Walter R. Dole indicted for bigamy, has been acquitted. For seven years it has been a question whether Dole was really named Dole or Nutall
 A woman who claimed to be his wife said that he was Nutall, and that she married him in Concord, N. C., twenty years ago. Her brother, named Horton identified him as Nutall and also did a dozen other persons, who said they knew NutalT intimately in North Carolina Nutall abandoned his wife at Concord and was traced to Charlotte. where he worked as a porter. He left there and about the same time a young woman named Rawlins left She was found by her brother afterward in Gonyers, Ga. Dole appeared at Rockmart, Ga, and later Dallas where he became a Baptist lanta, and had a church in suburb. He was recognized in Atlanta. He was convicted once of bigamy being prose- cuted for marrying Miss Smith of Dal- las. Dole got a new trial, and today, after four years of prosecution, he was acquitted. No witnesses for the pro secu- tion appeared. Mrs Dole is now sueing for a divorce. The evidence has been conflicting, some reputable people testi- lying that Dole was in London at the time others swore he was in North Caro- lima

No Race Tuesday.

New York, Aug. 23.-Word was re ceived in this city today stating that the Defender could not leave Bristol be- fore Monday night This means that it will be impossible to have any race on Tuesday. One will be had on Wednesday, kn which case the boats will also race on Thursday Otherwise it is very probable that the races will be held on Thursday and Saturday
 MT Newbery Thorn this afternoon. in speaking of the Defenders mishap on Tuesday last said: Tt Is not at all sur Drising that the Defenders spars weak ened. If you remember they were built for her first suit of sails. Afterwards we discovered we c'A Id carry much larger suit. We used the same spars and con sequently the strain on them was much greater
 In regard to the Valkyrie MT. Thorn said: II don't like to venture conclu- sive opinion upon her in dry dock. She is powerful craft, however, and splcndidly rigged."

Her New spars Are Beauties.

Providence, R. l.. Aug 23-The- new mast and main mast of the Defender ar rived this evening. Both sticks were very much admired. The topmost is little larger at the heel, but about the same length as the old cue. The main mast head is ? feet longer, and the diameter near hounds is 21a inches greater. Work will be pushed and she may be ready to take a trial spin Monday, but it is not expected that she will be able to leave Bristol before Tuesday.
 The new spars and rigging will make some difference to the trim of the yacht and she will again be measured before the cup races.

FIRE DRILLS IN SCHOOLS.

]. @. Brooks lays great force on the
necessity of thorough fire drills In schools.
He trains his pupils to understand that,
so far as they are concerned, the danger
In case OF fire Is nearly all In the scare OF
becoming excited. He tells them that
the alarm win be given them often when
there is no fire or DANGER but that w1aen-
ever they hear the alarm they should
leave the building as predirected. His
method is as follows: Suppose that a
building is constructed on the hall plan
and that half the pupils are IN the class
rooms. The alarm Is given the teacher
nearest the platform In the school han
runs to the plano or harmonium and
takes her seat. A chord Is struck, the
signal for every scholar TO rise: another
chord and they turn In the proper d.
rection. A quickstep march is struck
up-.the pupils from class rooms come out
with a run, falling into their respective
places. Another chord Is struck-they
all rise; a second signal and they turn
TO go; again a lively march, and they
start for their allotted places Of exit. As
two rows come together at the end of
an aisle, the pupils grasp hands, two and
TWO, and on they 80. Should they have
to go down a flight OF stairs they help
each other by holding hands, Should one
tumble or start to fall the other VIII

lines. Neither teachers nor pupils know
when the alarm 40 30 be given. nor do they
know It Is for drlll simply. They viii
not know until they are out and safe.
This drill Is very valuable, not only In
training children how to act IN case Of
fire. but as system Of discipline
