CRANFlELD's FAITH IN vALKYRlE
Makes Him Feel Sure Of Cap
turing the Cup

BRooKLyN, Aug. 26.--Never did such
crowd collect at the celebrated drydocks
OF the Erie basin as that which gathered
yesterday. The attraction was Vaikyrie
III. Nearly 5000 individuals went down
TO tho docks to SEQ the ship during the
day.
Unfortunately, while they found en-
trance TO the yard without hindrance,
they could not SEQ tho yacht. as they had
hoped, as her hull was almost entirely
covered with tarpaulins and cloths.
These curtains" had not been for the
purpose Of obstructing clesr Wow OF the
yachts powerful lines but for more practi-
cal reasons. The suns strong rays OF sat
urday had blistered In spots tho pot lead
or LACQUER with which the vessels sides
had been brushed, and II was to prevent
further blistering that tho cloths were
stretched. -
This caused a slight delay In floating the
ship as another coat of lacquer had to be
put on her In order Co smooth the rough
spnts made by the blistering. The new
coat was applied this morning. AS the
lacquer dried as fast as IL was put on, the
water was turned into the drydock only a
couple of hours later than fixed In the
original program.
The Valkyrie will have her sails bent
while being towed to Sandy Hook from
the drydock. She will probably have =
trial spin during the afternoon.
Confident Captain Cranfieid.
Captain Cranfleld has firm faith in his
vessel. He has told several personal
friends in the most emphatic way that he
expects to win tho America's cup this
Ia hac ha hafOrp
II is true, but those who have heard the
sounds of his voice when making predic-
tions since his arrival here a week ago
are thoroughly impressed with the mans
sincerity. He has even gone so far as TO
say TO these same confidential friends
that II the Valkyrie III does not win, no
English yacht will beat an American for
% years, because there will be no more
challenging in that time, unless some
other nation than England sends forth
the defiance.
The cup, being an international trophy,
Is open TO challenge from any country,
and IL has been said several times during
the last year that syndicate Of French
men may be formed TO build yacht next
year to contest against tho holder and
against any other challenger who may
choose to enter the match.
After the Valkyrie reaches her hereaf-
ter regular anchorage within the horse
shoe of Sandy Hook, there will be made
every effort TO keep her movements on tho
water secret from the public up TO the
time that she starts In the first race for the
cup. This is acknowledged by her Off
GERS, who say that there is no reason why
the points Of the vessel, be they good or
bad, should be made known There is no
doubt that the claim is reasonable; but, all

THIRTY-FIVE ENTOMBED.
Horrible Fate OF tho Michigan Miners
who Did Not Heed Warnings in Time to
EScnNe

IIoughton, Mich, Sept. SIT is now
positively known that thirty-tive
men are entombed in the Osceola mine
with no possibility of the recovery of
their bodies until the fire Is eXtin-
guished, which may not be for months.
1t is the opinion of some of the Oldest
officials of the mine that the fire was
the work of an incendiary. They say
there is no other explanation of the
fire starting in that portion. as no
oil, waste or rubbish Is used or accumu-
lated there and the timber work is out
of reach of the lamps on the miners
hats.
All Of the doomed miners might have
escaped had they needed warnings, as
Captain Edwards. who was the first to
detect the existence of fire, dispatched
messengers To every slope where the
miners were known to be working. As
the mine Is not heavily timbered except
in the shafts. the idea of serious dan
ger was secuted. BY going round
about way all the men who were in the
lower level of No. 4 shaft might have
escaped. but they preferred the shorter
route of ascent by that shaft and when
they got up to the eighteenth level
they found themselves cut off. Some
passed into lateral drifts expecting to
reach other shafts.
Captain White descended with Anton
.Ecysk. who said he left his ia ther in

FRANCE GETTING TRICKY.

His Land COnccs cssiOn.

Washington, Sept. S-The state de-

record in the Walter court-martial.
for which the French authorities found
II necessary to send to Madagascar, is
expected to reach Alden on the Red
Sea about the 18th inst. After its ar
rival there some time will be required
for its transmittal to Paris, and still
more before 1t can reach Washington.
If It is decided to have II examined
here. so that 1t Is expected to be at
least a month before the department
can be in full possession of all the
facts in the case.
In all probability no further step will
be taken by the department in this
matter until this examination shall be
made. There Is growing feeling in
the department that France has pur-
posely sought delay in producing this
record. in the hope of causing the
United States to make a peremptory
and unconditional demand for Waller's
release 1t Is believed that If made
this demand would be granted, and II
granted Waller would be deprived Of

of Pennsylvania in that body.
Mr. Martin realizes that by retaining

can avoid possible unpleasantness for

ment has resumed the payments of
funds for the expenditures Of the con-

cation that the accounts Of Librarian

While It cannot be ascertnined that
