willingly give you all the informa-
ton possible in regard to my endeav-
ors to obtain a race for the Americas
cup. l am anxious for chance
to capture the cup. 1 think the con.
test of 1895 was most unsatisfactory
and departing from precedent. shall
not order boat either from the de-
signs of Watson or Fife, but shall
order one of the design of ]. NJ. Soper,
who built the Itchen in Fay's yard
Mr.. Rose declined to give even a
hint Of the dimensions of the boat he
proposes building. lie disclaimed any
intention of imposing conditions for the
race he seeks, saying: ANY conditions
satisfactory to the cup committee will
satisfy me. l only hope they will
give us clear water. l haven't the
slightest fear of meeting with any
thing but fair treatment at the hands
Of the committee. suppose the con-
ditions of the race will be practically
the same as those which prevailed in
1898. My highest hope is that we
shall have good contest, and
mean to take the cup if possible. "
Mr.. Rose has been much identified
with yachting. He bought the Santa
tita which he will enter in the races
OF the Riviera next March He
owned the Crater Shulah during last
season and has ordered eO-rater from
Summers and Payne after the designs of

To Our Readers.

This is the season when farmers,
and others desiring to invest in farm
lands, are planning for the coming
year. Attention is called to the great
opportunity offered to secure lands at
a very low price that will double in
value in a short time. The income
per acre is about the same as that
from high priced land. Oats average
30 to SO bushels per acre, abundant
yield OF hay and other grains, vege-
tables, etc. Climate, water, and rail-
road facilities are good. Those want
ing unimproved land can find no
more favorable location. Special in
ducements are offered during the next
thirty days. Railroad fare paid if you
buy. For further particulars write
to the G. s. Graves Land Co., Sc, 5th
ave-, Chicago, who have an adver-
tiseInent in this paper.

PROFITS NOT LARGE.

Bond Syndicate Has Made Only About six
Per Cent.
New YORK, Sept. el.-Tfe managers
of the government bond syndicate
have taken action which is regarded
as formal dissolution of the
syndicate, the government having no
longer any need of it's serv-
ices. The managers sent out checks,
which were received by the members
of the syndicate this morning, giving
them the profits OF the operations OF
the syndicate, the members having
already received the principal which
they had placed IN the hands of the
managers.
The exact percentage of profit is not
at present obtainable, but it is under
stood that after allowing interest on
the money for the period during which
it was in the hands of the managers,
the profits are tritle below 6 per cent.

DuRRAN7's TRIAL.
.Iore Damaging Evidence Brought Out
Against Him.

MUGe DduhGnuS AISiuVhSO aSAOuSAs ONS
Against Him.
SAN FRANCISCO, Sept. 21.-Probably
tile most important witness in the Dur
rant trial on Friday was Adolph Open
helm, the pawnbroker, who said that
few days after the murder man
whom he recognized as Durrant
came to his store and tried to sell one
of the rings taken from the dead girls
fingers and sent to her aunt through
the mail This ring was picked out by
the witness from among the three
taken from Miss Lamont by the
murderer. 1t had chip diamond in q
shield on the top and was otherwise pc
culiar. Its popularity is what Open
helm said attracted his attention. The
incident happened within a few days of
his birthday, and that, he said, fixed the
time in his mind,
The case consists of having shown
by reputable witnesses that Durrant
was in Miss Lamont's company on the
morning of the day of the murder, and
that he met her at the school and
accompanied her to the church, where
he was seen in an excited or collapsed
condition short time after the muir
der is thought to have been committed.
This and the incidents of the attempted
sale of the ring and of his not hav.
ing attended lecture when he
should have been there, will face the
defense when 1t comes forward to put
on its case next week. The defense
is still confident and reticent, nnd
though many rumors as to what it will
try to prove have been set afoat, moth
ing authoritative has yet been earned.
