THE ST. PAUL's RUN.
She Will Smash the Record Yet, So Says
Her Enthusiastic Captain.

New York, October 26.-The steamer
St. Paul ended her voyage from South
ampton at 227 O'Clock this morning,
when she ran abreast of the Sandy Hook
lightship, having made the passage from
the Needles in days II hours and 81 min.
utes. This time would have been con.
siderably reduced, and the ship would
have reached port last night, had the
air pump of the port engine not broken
down last Wednesday, necessitating the
stoppage of that engine for. 81 hours. while
repairs were being made. In spite OF
this accident the big steamer averaged
IS. 85 knots per hour for the whole trip.
On several occasions she showed herself
splendid sprinter and under favorable
conditions made 81 1-2 knots an hour.
Capt. Jamison was interviewed at quar-
antine this morning, and spoke in the
most enthusiastic manner Of the be-
havior of his ship. He said she would

old ship, the New York, were it not for

to stop the port engine for repairs. cit
is in her to do it,' he remarked, "and
she will smash that record yet.
"Of course the break kdown was unfort-
unate, but it was not at all a serious one,
and such things are to be expected in
new ship. Besides, the ships bottom
is very foul. She has never been dry
docked, and her bottom has never had
a coating of anti-fouling paint.

The New Prices Which Will Be Charged
by the Whiskey Trust.

| New York, October 26.-The new com.

known as the trust; American Distribut.
ing Company, American Distilling Com
pan and The Atlas and Globe distilleries.
Prices will be controlled by committee
consisting of representatives from each
Of the interests They will be from /
cent to 1-2 cents above cost, and will be
based upon No. 2 cash corn at Chicago.
Each company will be allowed pro-
duction of from 35 TO 40 per cent of it's
capacity. The total capacity is figured
at from 100, ,000 to 10000 bushels of corn
day, and the consumptive demand is
said to be from $4,000 to 40, 900 bushels
The trust has capacity of more than
6, 10000 bushels and it is expected to re-
oeive about 40 per cent of this amount.
The American Distributing Company,
whose capacity is abont 5000 bushel a
day, will also be allowed 40 per cent.
This is exclusive of the new Majestic
distiliery, which is not yet finished.
There was considerable comment in
Wall street today as to the regulation OF
prices Members of the combination said
they would keep the prices at the dis
tilleries within 1-2 cents of the cost of
manufacture, exclusive of the price of
the shops 1t is the purpose to adjust
the price from time to time with each
ductuation OF cents in corn. This will
be regulated by the committee of con-
troll. The American Distributing Com
pany will handle the products of the
trust in the East without the interference

intend to do anything likely to provoke

Russian Ambassador Particularly
Nice to Olney.
RUMORS OF THE RUSSO-CHINESE
TREATY BELIEVED.
The Ambassador Recalls the Friendship
of Russia for the U. S. in the Past
Great Britain Is Getting Involved.

Washington, October 7.-Statements
originating at Shanghai in respect TO the
treaty with China, securing to Russia
the Northern Pacific terminus for the
great Siberian railroad. is generally
accepted in diplomatic circles here as
true. Nor is any doubt cast upon other
statements that feet of fifteen Russian
warships sailed for Fusan the Korean port
nearest TO Japan, barely twelve hours
distant from the Japanese mainland. 1t
is regarded certain that this movement
on the part Of Russia will bring out
grave complications with Great Britain
as threatening the security of the British
Eastern Empire. The general tone Of
diplomatic discussion recognizes the fact
that Great Britain stands alone among
European Powers without one ally upon
whom she could rely. Besides the
Venezuelan controversy, she has become
mixed up with threatening Eastern
war cloud. While it is not supposed that
hostilities between the Un tied States and
Great Britain can res ult from British in
fraction of the Monroe doctrine in

said to have been addressed to that little
republic (Which ultimatum has not ap-
peared in evidence) the urgency of the
situation is recognized in two very
significant ways.
The first has relation to the farewell
visit of Prince Cantacuzewe, late
Russian ambassador, to Secretary Olney.
It is stated on good authority that the
Russian diplomats leave taking was
given especial significance by his RECALLING
the ancient friendship of Russia Go the
United States as manifested by Emperor
Alexander dispatching squadron to
New York when France and England
threatened to recognize the Southern
Confederacy. Prince Cantacuzene, it is
said. intimated in guarded diplomatic
phrase that should a similar emergency
arise the good offices of Russia could be
again depended upon. The Importance
of this interview enhanced by an imme-
diate manifestation of excessive courtesy
on the part of the present leading remain
ing members of Russian legation towards
the Venezuelan situation.

NOT ON THE LAKES.
To Build Gunboats There Would Be Con-
strued Unfriendly by Great Britain-The
Administration Could Not Think of Of
Tending Her!

Washington. October 26-No war vessels
are to be constructed on the Great Lakes
under this administration, lest it should
be deemed violation of cur agreement
of 1917 with Great Britain. This is the
result. it is stated, of the consideration
of the matter in cabinet meeting yester-
day, and it was announced today at the
Navy Department that Secretary Herbert
had decided to reject the bid of the
Detroit Dry Dock Company for the con-
struction Of two of the new gunboats, for
which they were the lowest bidders. Un-
doubtedly, the action was taken out of
abundant caution, and in order to avoid
needless controversies with Great Britain.
Just at the present time the admins
tration would not like to have charge
brought against it by Great Britain of
violating the agreement of 1917, even
though it had a good technical reply to
make.
The contracts for the two double screw
gunboats will. it is announced, go to the
Union Iron Works at San Francisco. Of
the other four boats the Bath Iron Works
of Bath, Me, will build two; Dialogue &
Sons Of Camden, N. j., one. and Lewis
Nixon of Elizabeth. N. j., the fourth.

A Hot Game Between the Two Rival Col
Ieges- Colby Makes An Excellent show
ing-The Bicycle Races.
rspEc1A1 ro THE pREss.l

Brunswick October 26 -Bowdoin and
time this year, at Brunswick Saturday.
AS the, score indicates the game was
closely and hotly contested. Neither team
made a touchdown. Bowdoin secured
one "goal from the field," drop kick
by Stan'wood from the a5 yard line, after
Stearns Sc cured the ball off the blocked
kick of Holmes, on the 7-yard line, Bow
doin got no nearer Colby's goal than Is
yards. Colby reached the 3-yard line in
the second half. Most of the play in the
first half was in Colby's territory, but
in the second half Colby put Bowdoin on
the defensive and kept the ball nearer to
the home teams goal. In weight the
teams were very evenly matched.
Colby deserves credit for her showing.
She surprised not only the Bowdoin me n
but her own followers. She played a
hard game, though of the mass and push
style. Alden broke through Bowdoin' S
interference and tackled the runner be-
hind the line several times. Brooks, for
a heavy man, broke through unusually
we'll and fast On defensive work Col
by's backs were particularly strong. The
tackling of the Cnlby team was superior
to that of Bowdoin's.
Bowdoin's line work was weak except
when the ball was on their 3-yard line.
The game put up by most of the team
was disappointing. Poor physical con-
dition was to blame for this in one or
two instances. Their tackling was rather
poor on the whole. In fact Bowdo1n's IS
game was unsteady and her team work
1pcaticfactoru Gna faatJ1ra of tho cro ~, e,
is greatly to be deprecated. The criticism
of one mans playing by another in the
midst of a game is not productive of the
best team work.
At 8 Is Bowdoin kicked Colby tried
unsuccessfully to advance and is forced
to kick. Bowdoin blocks the kick and
has the ball on Colby's 7.yard line. Colby
get possession of it on tumble. After
few rushes is forced to kick again.
Bowdoin muffs and the ball is Colby's in
the centre of the field. Colby advances
three yards, then looses on downs. Bow
doin carries it up field by end plays only
to loose it on tumble, but to regain it
at once OH downs Stanwood then drops
a goal from the 25-yard line. Colby kicks
off. Bowdoin takes it to the 40-yard line,
where Colby holds her, but losing 90
yards. keeps the ball. Ball is on Colby's
15-yard line when time is called.
In the second half Colby kicks to 10
yard line Bowd in finds it hard to gain.
Colby breaks through and spoils her
plays, getting the ball on downs. She
pushes it steadily toward the Bowdoin's s
goal. BY long runs it is carried to Coby''s
aO-yard line where Colby once more gets
it on tumble. After several short rush
es she is forced to kick. Bowdoin is at
once held for downs and Colby gets to the
20-yard line when time is called.
The teams lined up as follows:
