'Oh, that is a question of fact rather

ness Against the Defender
People Are False.
NO LOAD-WATER JOCKEYING.
Experts Say That Extra Ballast
Would Have Greatly Retarded
the Yacht.

NEW YORK, N. Y, Dec. 2s.-The Earl
of Dunraven, accompanied by his friend.
Arthur Glennie, rear-commodore of the
Royal Portsmouth Yacht Club, sailed for
England at O'Clock this afternoon on
board the Cunarder, Umbra.
The investigation of the charges made
by Lord Dunraven against those in charge
of the Defender had not concluded when
the noble Earl and his henchman took
their departure to day. and only part of
the evidence in Tebuttal had been given
when the special committee. consisting of
]. Pierpont Morgan (chairman), George
Lockhart Rives (secretary), William C.
Whitney, Captain A. I. Mahan, U. S. A,
and f. J. Phelps, adjourned the hearing
till 10 o'clock Monday morning.
The manner in which the Irish Earl
made his second visit to New York this
year and the extraordinary means that
were taken to avoid his being interviewed
by reporters were only slight preca utions
in com parison with the efforts that were
resorted to- in order that even the bare
fact of his exit to-day might be kept from
the public.
There seemed to be somewhat of a
division of sentiment between members of
the New York Yacht Club as to Dun
ravens visit, but in the end the diver
gence appeared after the manner of a para
dox to converge in unanimity of opinion
that he was nonsuited.
Some OF the members said plainly that

the secrecy imposed by the committee on

as to definite statements of what had oc-

breach of confidence to find out how the
tide had turned.
The Defender syndicate presented testi-
mony in rebuttal of that offered by Lord
The San Francisco call., 1895-12-29

Dunraven yesterday, and although the
gentlemen who were present at the in
quiry declined to talk for publication it
was learned on authority that the charges
made by Lord Dunraven were totally dis
proved. Lord Dunraven's case was based
upon suspicion and inference from the
fact that the Defenders tender, the Hattie
Palmer, had remained alongside until
late hour the night before the first race.
This and other allegations made by
Lord Dunraven were explained by those
in charge of the Defender, and positive
statements were made by Mr.. Iselin, Mr..
Herreshoff and Captain Half that no tam
pering with ballast took place.
The proceedings to-day opened with an
argument between Joseph III. Choate,
counsel for the Defender syndicate, and
Mr.. Askwith, Lord Dunraven's counsel, as
to the admissibility of a portion of the
evidence offered in support of the charges.
After this Lord Dunraven was recalled for
q few minutes to make clear one or two
points in the testimony offered yesterday.
He was followed by Nat Herreshoff,
builder and designer of the Defender, who
said that any such changes of ballast as
were charged would handicap rather than
aid the yacht He said that she had been
found to be stiff enough for any weather
and the addition of ballast would only re-
tard her.
After Askwith had made Mr.. Here's
hoff go over his statement several times
and had failed to tangle him up, G. Oliver
Iselin, the managing member of the De-
fender syndicate, took the stand.
He declared with some feeling that no
ballast had been added after the official
measurement had been taken. and that, of
course, none had been removed before the
remeasurement. His testimony was direct
and convincing. @9e
Mr.. AsSwith gave him severe cross-ex-
animation, and Mr.. Iselin became quite
hot under the questions that were asked
by the English barrister. At12: 40 o'clock
recess was taken for luncheon.
At2P NJ. the hearing was resumed with
Mr.. Iselin still in the witness chair. He
was followed by Captain Hank Haff, who
testified positively that there was no ad-
dition of ballast and no. increase of the
water line.
1t was nearly o'clock before Mr.. Ask
with finished with Captain. .Haff and itwas
concluded to adjourn the hearing until 10
A. NJ. on Monday.
1t is said that David Henderson, who
was Lord Dunraven's representative on
the Defender, has declined to testify for
business reasons.

A County Of Tillmanites. With Not II

The new county OF Saluda. we believe has
no railroad, no town, and no conservatives In
IL. The people OF that section are TO be con-
doled with, as they will have nobody to
abuse, and no corporations TO fight.
They are pcw looking for place to put
their Court House, which must be within
in which to put 1t. In making the new coun
ty, they left out two townships In Edgefied
to help form u new county with the Court
House to be located in some place on land TO
be taken from Abbeville county.
Notwithstanding all the facts as above
named connected with Saluda County, with
the additional fact yet TO be counted, that the
county will not be organized for year, yet

but expect TO 60 to the county az soon as the
Court House has been built. The editors OF

greatest measure OF success, and hope that

The Charleston Evening Sun is a fair, able

the most acceptable guests at the Press and
Banner office. That paper is independent in
politics and courteous in it's treatment OF all

from the amount OF advertising TO be seen in
It's columns and the excellence Of its general
