Washington, Sept. l2.-Controller
Bowler has received a telergam from
Senator Manderson, counsel for the
Oxnard Sugar Company, giving notice
that he would file an appeal to the Sec
retary ON the question of the control

plainants, repealed section 1868 Of

Lord Dunraven.s Letter.

The full text of Lord Dunraven's
letter, which was written Friday night
and the main points of which We're
given previously, is:
"It is with reluctance that / write
to inform you that / decline to sail
Valkyrie any more under the circum-
stances that have prevailed in the last
two races, for the following reasons:
"First-To attempt to start two such
large vessels in such a confined space
and among moving steamers and tug.
boats, is in my opinion. exceedingly
dangerous, and / will not further risk
the lives of my men or the ship.
"Second-At the start of the first
race the crowding was so great that
we could not see the mark boat, and
could not tell when we we're near the
line, and we were much hampered by
steamers, especially on the race home.
To-day, on the reach home, sight or
nine steamers were to the windward of
me and, what was worse, a block Of
steamers were steaming level with me
and close under my lee. | sailed
nearly the whole distance in tumbling,
broken waters, in the heavy wash of
these steamers. To race under these
conditions is, in my opinion. absurd
and decline to submit myself to them
again.
II would remind your committee
that, foreseeing the trouble that might
occur, urged upon them the desira-
bility of sailing off Marblehead, or
some locality other than New York
bay, and that they refused to do so.
At the same time | would testify to my
full belief that your committee have
done everything in their power to pre-
vent overcrowding.
'The fact is that when the represent
atives of two yacht clubs excite so
much popular interest and attract such
crowds of people, il the races are sailed
in the immediate neighborhood of a
great city and the dates of the races and
times of starting are known and ad-
vertised, 1t is impossible to keep a
course free from causes of exceptional
danger, and clear enough to assure the
probability that>the result of the match
will be decided according to the rela-
tive merits of the competing vessels. "

LoNG-DlSTANCE RUN.
New York Central Establishes q New
Railroad Record.


New York, Sept. 13.-The New
York Central today made a new
worlds record IN the running of fast
tains ON long-distance schedule. This
morning at $40 o'clock special train
of four cars, under the direct control of
George II. Daniels. passenger agent Of
the road, left the Grand Central depot
1t arrived at Albany at 7:54:55, max
ing the run of l43 miles in 1865 1-2
minutes. A stop of one minute was
made at Albany to change engines.
Syracuse was reached at l0:l7:l8. The
total run from New York to East Buff
falo, 436 l-2 miles, was made in 407
minutes, an average speed of 81 1-3
miles an hour. This gives the New
York Central the worlds record for a
long distance run with heavy train,
its train today being nearly twice the
weight of the English racing trains A
private car was attached at Buffalo,
and the train was started back for New
York. where it is expected to arrive to-
night. This, if done, will be equiva-
lent to the run from New York to Chi
cago in II hours. The best run made
ON any of the English roads was So 3-5
miles per hour for very light train.

THE CENTRAL TRAFFIC
Meeting of the Agents of the
Association.
REQUEST OF WESTERN ROADS
To Restore Through Transcontinenta1
Rates and Divisions In West
Bound Traffic.

Chicago, Sept. 13.-At the meeting
Of the general agents of the Central
Traffic association today it was decided
to grant the request of Western roads
for restoration of the through rates
and divisions in westbound transconti-
mental traffic, which went into effect
April, 1898. Since these rates were
abolished the Eastern roads have re-
ceived their full local rates up to Chi
cago, and the Western lines from Chi
cago have been compelled to stand the
full force of the reduction necessary to
bring the rates down to a point where
it would bring them business. Ship
pers at Eastern points have been COM
PEELED to pay these rates or send their
freight to New York or other seaboard
points, and get it to the Pacific coast
by water. The Western roads made
application to the Eastern lines to al
low through rate to be made for the
points on the eastern lines and In place
of exacting the full force Of their local
rates, to take their agreed percentage
Of the through rate.
The proposed fight between Corbett
and Htzsimmons is making row be-
tween railroads interested in the busi-
ness, and for the present the indica-
tions are that the latter fight will be
the hotter of the two. The Missouri,
Kansas & Texas is said to have bought
up large number of tickets of admis-
sion to the fight, and is using them as
lever to draw the business between
st. Louis and Dallas for the fight.

Chicago, Sept. 13.-The Inter-O Ocean
this morning prints story in which it
is said that Fitzsimmons has declared
that he will refuse to meet Corbett in
Dallas unless he is ''let in" ON certain
concessions on which he believes a large
sum of money will be realized. 1t is
said that he accuses Brady, Corbett,
Joe Vendig and Stewart, of Dallas,
with gobbling up everything in sight,
from the lemonade-stand to the kinete-
scope, with which it is intended to re-
produce the fight throughout the coun-
try. 1t is the latter consession that
Bob is especially jealous Of and it is
said that he has made formal oe-
mand for a percentage of the profits on
it, otherwise he declares there will be
no fight.

be made, no matter what the delay,
until the excursion boats are a half
mile distant ON all sides of the contest
ants. The accident to Defender would
never have happened had this rule
been observed.
Whether there will be race or
not depends wholly upon the captains
Of the pleasure craft. The committee
have come to their decision after the
most mature deliberation, and If at
any time during the contest there is
any overcrowding such as Lord Dunra-
ven cites, whether to either Defender
or valkyrie, the race may be declared
of and sailed at some time and place
known only to the interested parties.
The position demanded must be
taken at once or there will be no race,
as have said. think I can speak
for the regatta committee when / say
that the judges boat will remain long
enough to give time for start, which
will not be made until the conditions
which obtained on Tuesday last no
longer exist.
I'D. B. Smith, of the cup commit
tee, speaking officially, said:
=" The regatta committee have sus-
tanned the protest of Defender against
Valkyrie, and consequently the race of
the 10th is given to Defender under
the rules. After the decision was rem
dered the Americas cup committee was
called upon by G. Oliver Iselin to say
If they had no objection he would pro-
pose to Lord Dunraven to sail over the
race Of September 10, to which they re.
Piled they had no objection.
Whatever else may be said, it was
chiyalrous and sportsmanlike for him
to make this proposition, which was
subsequently made to Lord Dunraven
by G. Oliver Iselin. No reply has yet
been received from Lord Dunrayen by
this committee.
This proposition must receive the
commentator Of all Americans and
Britons.
Lord Dunravsn, with several young
ladies, was the guest of II. Maitland
Kersey last night. The party dined at
the Waldorf.
"A communication was sent to the
earl by reporter asking whether he
would accept or decline Mr.. Iselin's
offer to resail Tuesdays race, provided
the committee approved. Lord Dunra-
ven declined to answer the question. :"

IseiIn's sportsmaniike Proposal.

New York, Sept. 14.-The Herald
says: THE cup committee had busy
day yesterday. When they went into
session. early in the day. Lord Dunra-
ven's letter was the first and most inn
portant matter to come up for consider
alton. There was long and serious
discussion. Mr.. Iselin visited the
club and at once appeared before them.
He had learned Of the decision of the
regetta committee awarding the race
to Defender, and his mind was quickly
made up rs to what course he would
take. He formally asked the cup COM
mittee whether they would object
should he propose to Lord Dunraven to
resail the race. They replied that no
objection would emanate from them,
and Mr.. Iselin departed.
"The work of the committee did not
end there. The matter before them
was of a more serious character and
demanded careful deliberation. They
were still in session when evening
came, and members began to throng
the club in search of information.
There was much speculation as to
whether there would be another race,
but no official statement regarding the
matter was made. Rumor had it that
Lord Dunraven would refuse to sail his
boat again, but it was no more than a
rumor.
MANY members thought it would
be thoroughly sportsmanlike of Mr..
Iselin to offer to resail the race, but to
those of the members who had seen
Mr.. Iselin earlier in the day he had
given no intimation of his proposition
before the cup committee. There
were probably other details to be at
tended to, for his proposition to LORD
Dunraven was not forwarded until s
o'clock in the evening and after sec
ond visit to the club.

FAIR, foul And FLUKE
How Defender Won the Three
Races for the Cup.
vALKYRIE REFUSED TO START
Before the Finish IseIin Asked the
Committee for Instructions ns--None
Given, and Defender Crossed.


New York. Sept. l4.--The interna-
tional series between Defender and
Valk.sie III for the Americas cup il
ended. On the whole it has been an
extraordinary series, and, while the re-
suit is satisfactory to the American
people, two at least Of the contests
which made up the match were not.
Defender won in a clean race Satur-
day: Tuesday last she crossed the line
behind the English boat. but was
awarded the race on foul. Today
she had walkover. And today's oc.
currence was all the more unfortunate,
not only because the great crowd had
gathered to witness the struggle, but
because the weather conditions were
such as TO lead many to suppose that,
Of all days, valkyrie would be in her
element.
Lord Dunraven said last highland
he said it most emphatically-that he
would withdraw his boat on the NOR
row if clear course were not provided.
He claimed that during the previous
race his boat had been greatly inter-
ferred with, and as everything de-
pended upon the outcome Of the third
series, he adhered to that decision so
closely that Valkyrie merely crossed
the starting line and then retired from
the contest. Defender. who was well
in advance when the handicap gun was
fired, continued ON her journey and
went over the course we'll within the
limit.
BY her three straight victories De-
fender retains the historic cup for
America.
The same race scheduled for today
promised to be more exciting than
either Of the two preceding, for it was
to be expected that every effort would
be made by Dunraven, after Tuesdays
disappointment, to score victory with
boat he had brought SO far. Yester-
day Valkyrie had been tuned up to the
highest pitch in anticipation of today's
contest. Several alterations had been
made. and those upon whom her sail
ing qualities depended mostly were
prepared to expend every ounce of mus
Gle and skill to bring her over the line
a victor. Lord Dunraven had expressed
himself as apparently satisfied with
the decision rendered by the cup COM
mittee on the fouling of the Defender
by his boat. and the matter had SEEM
ingly been settled SO amicably that it
was question in the minds of the
public if Tuesdays race would not be
resailed.
