READY FOR BATTLE ROYAL Valkyrie and Defender Are in
 Fine FettIe.
BOTH YACHTS MEASURED
And the Rriton Gives the Yankee Boal 29.l Seconds-PIenty of Wind Prom
 ised for Today.

New York, Sept. 6.-All is ready for the battle royal between Valkyrie III and the Defender. The final preparations for the first international races have been made. Both ships are anchored in the Horse Shoe ready for action temor- row.
 The veil of mystery which as kept the public in ignorance cf the actual dimen- sions of the competing yachts was raised today. John Hyslop, official measurer of the New York Yacht club, passed his steel tape from bow to stern, from deci< to masthead and along the boom and bowsprit of both crafts and the result was that Valkyre III allows the Defend CT 20 1-10 seconds.
 Both bows are less than So feet on the load water line, instead of being close to 90 feet, and the Valkyrie is 2-10 of a foot longer than the Defender. Her sail area is greater than the Defenders, which has a boom 166 feet long, wh4le that of the British boat is only 105 feet.
 The prospect of seeing the Valkyr.e and Defender together before the great race was an attraction which drew crowds to the Erie basin. They began to arrive at the break of day, many taking in the sight before going to bus mess. The numbers increased until at Il o'clock fully 5000 people swarmed about the dock, and during the afternoon Is was estimated that 5000 people were present at one time. In the course Of the day nearly 10000 people must have viewed the boats,
 The New York Yacht club house was the scene of much activity this after noon. The club house was crowded with members and the merits of the two big racers were discussed with considera ble animation by the yachting sharps of the club.
 At 9:30 D. m. MT. Hyslop arrived at the club house. The assemblage present eX- pressed considerable surprise at the fig ures. It was generally believed in yacht ing circles that the difference in time al lowance in favor of the Defender would be anywhere from one and half to two

PHENOMENAL FALL OF RAIN.
Baltimore Flooded Yesterday - Houses

Swept Away-Woman Drowned.
 ] Baltimore, Sept. 6.-Baltimore was wis ited today by the heaviest downpour of rain in twenty-five years. Starting at 3 o'clock this morning there was little ces- sation until o'clock tonight, when 4.76 Inch is the record of the precipitation. The sewers were incapable of carrying off the vast quantity of water that poured into them and in several places wash outs and cave-inS resulted. The most serious accident occurred at Greenmont avenue, near North avenue. The rushing torrent undermined the foundations and the buildings soon collapsed, the occu- pants thereof barely escaping with their lives The houses were occupied reSpec- lively by Charles Martin and Ely Skipper as dwellings, and the City and Suburban railroad, as an office building.
 One death, the result of the storm, was reported. Mrs. Annie o. Smith and her son were washed off the foot bridge that spans Jones falls at Mount Washington. The young man succeeded in reaching the shore, but his mother was drowned in the stream

WILL PUT ON SIXTY WITNESSES. The Defense Gives an Idea of the Length of
 the Trial.
 San Francisco, Sept. 6.-The testimony in the Durant case today was mainly given over to incidents connected with the discovery of the body of Blanche Lamont in the church tower. Patrolman Recht testified that he had discovered footprints in the dust on the steps lead ing to the top floor of the tower, where the body lay. He thought the footprints were those of the murderer. but they were obliterated by the morgue attaches who entered the tower to get the body.
 Reicht also told of the blodstains on the first floor of the belfry made by blood which dripped from the third land ing where the murderer rested with his victim and left the body for about q day. There were marks in the dust on the stairs made by the trailing skirts of the dead girl while the murderer was carrying the body up to the third landl ing. 70
 These defense was particular in bring ing out these points, apparently to fort fly It's theory that the body of the mur1 dered girl was carried long distance and that a man ofDurant's physique woudl have been unable to carry 1t.
 The prosecution has evidence to show that Durant could have easily carried the body to the spot where 1t was found. 2
 The other testimony today was as to the removal of the body from the tower and the discovery of the girls clothl ing secreted by the murderer afterwards on hte top floor.
 Charles Noble, uncle of Blanche La mont. while testifying to the removal of the remains, was moved to tears.
 The case went over till Tuesday, as Monday will be admission day and a eIraI holiday. The defense today gave an idea of the long fight it will make by the announcement that 1t will put sixty witnesses on the stand.
