dition and the Races Will Be
Strictly Contests of Merit.
New York, Sept. A cablegram re-
ceived from London by an evening paper
reads as follows: 1.-The betting is 8 to 1
on the Defender, and very little of it.
There is plenty of American money offer
ing, but the Englishmen want long
odds" This would indicate that the
Britishers, while perfectly willing to
shout and argue that their yacht is a
world beaten, are not quite so ready to
! back up their opinions with hard cash.
The betting here has not been at such
long odds as to /, and the cable dis
patch above gave rise to the surmise that
possibly the Valkyrie had been found
wanting and that the Englishmen had
got the tip.
8 to 1 None Too Many.
Commodore James D. Smith of the
cup committee was seen and asked if he
knew of anything the matter with the
Valkyrie that would cause the betting in
England to be so much in favor of the
Yankee boat, when the Britishers were
reported to be more confident than ever
before that they had grand chance for
the cup. There is absolutely nothing
the matter with the Valkyrie," he re-
piled. ''She is in her finest condition and
will sail against the Defender in perfect
trim. If she doesn't win it will be be-
cause the other boat is the better. The
Defender will keep the cup here beyond
a doubt. Odds of to on her are none
too many"

a CIRCUS IN a CYCLONE.
The Audience and Animals Terror
stricken at the blow.


Burlington, Ia, Sept pa wind storm
accompanied by a terrific avalanche of
hail swept down on this city this after
noon under circumstances which came
near resulting in catastrophe. Barnum
Baileys circus was on exhibition and
the vast auditorium was filled with spec
tators who had no inkling of the storm
that was approaching when they entered
the big tents. When the storm broke the
audience had just been dismissed, and
there was wild rush for places OF safety.
Circus employees trained for such emer-
TO save the tents from destruction and the
frightened animals from escaping. The
furious wind caught the great expanse of
canvas forming the main tent. lifted it
like a toy house from its rope and iron
fastenings and tore IL to pieces. The sup
porting poles were lcveled and broken.
The tent which Is used as the
boarding house Of the circus people was
swept 10 destruction and the contents
Knocked about prOmiscuously. The me-
nagerte tent fell likewise before the fury
Of the storm, the tattered pieces Of can
vas happing around the cages OF the
wild and terrof-stricken beasts. Their
cries added to the confusion created by
frightened and hardest to keep under
control Of the Keepers, trainers and an
extra force of men. The big beasts and
others not kept in cages broke loose. Rain
followed the hail, and the wind subsiding
the animals became quiet No one was
injured, and there Is general congratula-
tion tonight over the lucky escape.

RANsoM's REcOMPENsE.
The Draft for His Disputed salary
Not Fully Approved Yet.


Washington, Sept 25.-As mentioned in
the Southern Associated Press
dispatches OF Saturday last un-
der directions from Secretary
Carlisle the auditor OF the treas
ury approved the draft for the payment
OF Minister Ransom's disputed salary. The
draft In question has not yet been fully
authorized, as II still has to pass the scru-
tiny OF the controller of the treasury, over
whom the secretary exercises no jurisdic-
ton. The draft has reached Acting Con-
troller Bowler, but has not been acted
upon. It may be several days before the
controller reaches it In the ordinary ron-
tine Of business.
Mr.. Bowers, the deputy controller OF
the treasury, said to-day that he has
the CONTROVERSY over Minister Ransom's
salary. He says he has not overruied
Secretary Carlisle's order to pay Gen.
Ransom his salary under his recent ap-
pointment On the contrary. the case has
not been formally reached on the con-
troller's docket. There Is a question as to
whether Gen. Ransoms last appointment
Is to be regarded as a fresh appointment
to I'LL vacancy within the meaning
9f the law. Mr. Bowers contends that IN
View OF the complication surrounding
the case, II Will be well to look into *
carefully because Of the new features
involved. There is no way for the gov
paid TO Gen. Ransom while he was serv-
ing under his first, or unconstitutional
appointment hence IL is the duty of the
accounting officers Of the treasury to see
that the law Is properly carried out now.
The fact that the President reappointed
him Is conclusive that the original an
pointment was improper, and while the
last appointment is not questioned in any
manner, yet there are certain regula-
lions In regard to the payment OF sala-
ries which have to be examined before
the accounting officers OF the department
can pass Gen. Ransom's accounts The
only question IS whether he can draw
salary prior to his confirmation, In View
of the unusual circumstances involved
in his case. There is no intention to
deprive him Of his salary, and as soon
