nuisance and believe that they are alb
solutely incorrigible and utterly de-
PRAYED. One Of the latest accusations
made against these pugnacious inter
lopers comes from New Orleans, where
it is alleged that they band together
and drive away the hooking bird.
This Is grave offense. Southerners
can stand with apparent equanimity
the gradual departure of many Of their
favorite birds before the advance OF
these remorseless little tyrant5, but
they will draw she line at the hooking
bird, that unrivaled songster, before
whose thrilling notes even the melody
Of the nightingale pales, and when once
they are sure that the charge is true
the inventive powers of the whole
country will be called into play for the
humiliation Of the alleged pests. The
New Orleans State, in commenting on
this accusation, calls upon the city
council to put premium on sparrow
heads and turn the small boy loose.
This plan will involve considerable ex-
pense, but should it fail to exterminate
the sparrows the job might as we'll be
abandoned in despair.

Argument in the shemwel, Case

of the State against Baxter Shemweil
now on trial at Lexington, N. c., for the
killing Of the late DR.. R L. Payne, the
summing up OF the evidence by counsel
began this morning and Judge Mont.
Romery made the opening arguments fol
the prosecution. He declared that the
State would ask for verdict Of murder
in the first degree, because tho evidence
showed that the killing was wilful, de-
liberate and premeditsted. Mr.. Mont.
gomery was followed by Congressman
Linney, the first speaker for the de-
tense. Mr.. Linney was followed by Mr..
Williams for the State and Mr.. Buxton

ENGLISH SPAKBOWS.

The cheerful little chirpers known as
English sparrows have been abused and
vilifed in this country to an extent
that would have caused them to emf

they been conscious OF their great un-
popularity and been at all sensitive as
to their surroundings. Fortunately,
however, they are totally oblivious of
all the grave charges made against
them, and of all the many plans devised
for their destruction, and 20 happily on
their way, filling the city parks with
their progeny and finding Judgment in

garded as most unwelcome intruders.
From one place to another they have
wandered until they are found in all

shrubs and housetops snd fences re-

Many OF the charges made against them
have proven unfounded, and the general
pre- udice against them has mu CHI abated

THE proposed meeting of Cubans at
New York to elect president to sue
coed the late General Marti has attract
ed considerable attention at Washing
ton and, in view Of the Eustis episode
and Spain's attitude in regard to the
ambassadors alleged utterances, 1t is
hardly probable that the government
would permit the election to be publicly
held. The spirit Of the neutrality laws
seem to prohibit such movement on
American soil against friendly po wer,
for while the purpose is not to make the
United States the basis Of sn armed at

the public election OF q president in
this country will give moral support
to the revolutionists which will work

MR. oLNEY AND THE PRESIDENCY.

Since his promotion to the position OF
Secretary OF State Mr.. OlneY has como
into prominence as q candidate for the
Democratic nomination for President In
1896. He WAS not known as q politician
although he had achieved considerable
reputation as corporation lawyer.
Now, however. it Is said he has been
selected as the residuary legatee OF
President Cleveland, who was the first
man to recognize his high qualities and
made him sttorney-e eneral. There he
displayed such excellent judgment in
managing the affairs of his department
and such great executive ability that on
the death of Secretary Gresham he was
appointed to the position he now holds.
In his new position Mr.. Olney's friends
declare that he will moro than justify
their high expectations by pursuing q
conservative but vigorous foreign poll
Icy, and 30 conducting the affairs Of his
department az to maintain and increase
his reputstionsfor executive ability. 1t
is also urged by his sound money friends
that his financial views are untainted
by "hereaies" OF any kind while he at the
same time zealously nfflrms and advo.
Gates all the fundamental principles Of
Democracy. His location geographically
Is also regarded es IN his favor, as, they
allege, 1t Is becoming more apparent
every day that Mr.. Cleveland and Mr..
Hill will DESTROY each other in New
York. He Is sixty years old, which.
politically. ia considered the physical
and mental primo Of life. AS Mr.. Whit
ney and Secretary Carlisle are also
spoken Of as Mr.. Clevelsnds choice ns
his successor, and as IL ia strongly limited
that the President would not object to
holding over in the White House four
years longer after March 1897, 1t is by
no means certainty that Mr.. Olney is
regarded as the residuary legatee Of the
present administration.

ing from almost due south at the rate OF
six or seven miles an hour. The conditions
of wind and weather were very much like
those of Saturday. 1t was most en-
phatically the Valkyrie's day at the start.
At 1850 the preparatory signal was fired.
Both the racers were then to the leeward
of the line and some distance apart on the
starboard tack. Each had the same cam
vas set, consisting of mainsail, club top
sail, staysail and jib, with a jib topsail in
stops ready to break out. When the gun
was fired the Defender, which was to the
eastward, came about on the port tack and
stood toward the Valkyrie. The latter,
being still upon the starboard tack, had
the right of way and as the Defender ap-
preached her she luffed up into the wind
and went about. This brought the Valky-
rle on the weather quarter of the Defender,
that is, to windward of her and just triae
behind but well overlapping her and so
gave her the weather gauge.
The maneuvers by which the Defender
endeavored to make the Valkyrie lose her
grip were especially interesting in view of
The San Francisco call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1895-1913, 1895-09-11

before the start. A few minutes before IL
o o'clock the various craft could be seen
hustling down to the starting point
around the lightship. While the yachts
were maneuvering for position the patrol
boats were very vigilant in warning the
over-eager captains to keep out of the
way. The yachts were not seriously him
dered about the start, although at times
it looked as though they might be.
The Grand Republic brought down an
enormous crowd, and the st. John, the
Monmouth, the Sandy Hook, the City of
Lowell, the General Slocum, the Cetus,
the Sam Sloan and score of other boats
were filled very close to the limit. After
the race was under way more boats con-
tinued to arrive. At the turns and during
the race the attendant feet gave the
yachts plenty of room. The warming
whistles of the patrol vessels were needed
and no serious interference with the yachts
occurred at any time.
At the finish there was the usual scene
of excitement with patriotic Americans
The San Francisco call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1895-1913, 1895-09-11

in the race off Sandy Hook resulted in an
accident to the American boat which
spoiled the race.
Fifteen thousand persons, on steam
boats, tugs, steam yachts and ocean steam
ers, sent up a groan of disappointment
when the beautiful aluminium and bronze
creation was crippled before their eyes.
Not all were near enough to see what had
happened, but all the yachting sharps said
at once that it was an accident to the top
mast rigging. Some remarks were made
which would have made ears tingle had
they reached the Valkyrie, but Lord Dun
ravens boat, after fouling the Defender,
was away, cup-hunting. While no one
suspects the owner of the visiting yacht of
such unsportsmanlike conduct as inten-
tional fouling the Yankee yacht, yet the
way he raked his great steel boom over the
deck and tore down the other fellows
rigging, and then sailed away at his best
over the course was not pleasant to pat
riotic Americans to contemplate.
From the first, every attempt to secure
The San Francisco call. [volume] (San Francisco [Calif.]) 1895-1913, 1895-09-11

the subsequent foul to which they led.
After the Englishmen had secured the
much-coveted position, both yachts stood
along the westward on the port tack until
beyond the committee-boat. Captain Half
then gibed, hoping to get around and
luff up the windward on the Valkyrie before
she could get around. But Captain Gran
field gibed so quickly that the relative
positions of the two boats remained un-
changed, the Valkyrie still keeping the
weather. This was at 1856.
The two boats came back OF the STAR
board tack toward the starting line. They
passed around one of the big excursion
steamers, and then, as time was short, be-
gan to approach the line from its westward
end, breaking out their jib topsails as they
did so. On came the boats until only a
few seconds elapsed before the starting
gun. Then it was seen that the Valkyrie
was too near the line and was in danger OF
crossing a second or two before the gun.
She Immediately began to bear away to
avoid crossing. There was the Defender
just to the leeward and little behind her,
which had no need to bear away, and so
did not propose to do it. The Defender
was allowing the Valkyrie plenty of room
between herself and the mark and was act
ing strictly within her rights in keeping
her course. Captain Cranfeld could not
call for room and there was but one thing
he could do to save himsef-that was to
stop the headway of the Valkyrie.
The orders were given and all her sheets
were Stacked off wide at once, to spill her
sails and stop her headway. Hence came
the foul and Its resulting trouble. The
long boom of the Valkyrie, reaching out to
leeward, raked across the deck of the De-
fender, only eighteen or twenty feet away,
and striking the topmast shroud on the
starboard side carried it away, breaking

club topsail, staysail and jib topsail, the
Defender the same without the jibsail. A
vast semicircle, prolonged into race of
battle, shows all the river steamers packed
with an excited multitude eager, anxious
and not hopeful, for the Defender is not
gaining.
The Valkyrie is still leading. Both
yachts come about like the swift turn of
carrier-pigeons. The Defender breaks out
her jib top sail, but Immediately takes it in
again. There is something wrong with
her spreader. The Valkyrie increases her
lead. The breeze falls off to seven knots.
The Defender is unable to carry her jib
topsaiI, and something is wrong with her
rigging. Both yachts come about. The
Valkyrie increases her lead. Evidently
the brush with the Valkyrie did some dam
age to the Defenders shrouds. The ex-
cursion steamers are behaving well.
have Just sighted George Bromley, Harry
GillIg and Frank Unger on our lee bow in
the George Gould yacht Atalanta. Clay
Greene is at my elbow. The weather is per-
feet. The Valkyrie, the ox-eyed Juno, has
it all her own way. Mercury wingless is
powerless, and the Defender appears Grip
pied somehow. Neptune is smiling upon
the woman in white, and turns his back
upon the Yankee maid. The old god is
tickle, false and frothy.
The Defender is working we'll to wind
ward, but lacks power. The first stake is
in sight and both boats will fetch it this
tack. The Valkyrie rounds the stake and
breaks out the balloon iib-topsail and bal
loon staysail. The Defender rounds the
stake three minutes and fifty-eight seconds
later and breaks out her jib topsail and
balloon staysaiI. Considering that she is
hurt in her rigging, the Defender sails
beautifully. The Valkyrie takes in her
balloon jib, substituting the regular jib
baby topsail, thus placing the yachts on
even terms as to sail spread. Now they
are nearing the second stake. The Valkyrie
rounds the stake. The Defender takes in
her baby topsail and rounds the second
stake three minutes and twenty seconds
later. In this leg the Defender gained by
about twenty seconds.

have been no BILE, but the anxiety of
the British skipper to get his boat over the
line first and to windward of the enemy
made it question ii he would not cross
befo1e the starting gun sounded. To pre-
vent such predicament, the Valkyrie
bore away trife and eased out her sheets.
The main boom of the Britisher swept
over the deck of the Defender, CARRYING
away the topmast shrouds on the star
board side and tearing out the jaws of the
spreader. The topmast cracked and was
badly sprung. Just as the crash came the
starting signal was given, and the Valkyrie
sped away like rocket.
The Defender was luffed in the wind. the
jib topsail lowered, the wreckage removed.
and Mr.. Iselin decided to continue the
race. Probably a couple of minutes were
wasted making repairs before the boat con-
tinued on her course. A protest flag was
displayed, and the committee boat showed
an answering pennant. Then the gallant
Defender and her plucky crew went in
pursuit of the British cutter.
