HOW THE VALKYRIE LOOKS
Owners Will Take Time to Put Her
in Racing Trim.
What Mr.. Glennin, Lord Dunra yen's
Representative, Thinks of the
Crack Yacht Defender.

New York, Aug. 22.-Interest in Val
kyrie III remains unabated, as shown by
the crowds which congregate at the Erie
basin dry dock, in Brooklyn. The ship
news office of the United Press, at the
Battery, has been made 4 veritable informa-
ton bureau by New Yorkers bound for the
Erie basin
The English boat is in very unkempt
state at present. Riggers have got her top
mast, bowsprit. boom and gaff placed. but
the standing rigging is not complete, and
the deck is Uttered with miscellaneous
stores and debris of the work. Scaffolding
hangs over her sides and is built up from
the bed of the craving dock and a force of
men is at work scraping her sides and under
body preparatory to the application OF
paint and an anti-fou ling preparation
which is TO BE used below the water line
Mr.. Glennie. the representative of Lord
Dunraven. was at the dock to-day. or
the figures published yesterday and this
morning, purportiDg to give Valkyrie's
dimensions, he said:
while / have refrained from learning
the figures myself, to be saved the necessity
Of humbugging anyone, l should say that
not one of the figures given is right"
Speaking of the Defender and Vaikyrie,
Mr.. Glennie said:
''valkrie is by no means poor weather
boat. She can sail in light winds, but
she will take what comes with the De-
fender. It struck the when first saw the
Defender that she was too lightly rugged.
Her experience the other day confirms me
in that idea. II she can stand heavier
spars and rigging, such as are needed
in the weather we had in Tuesdays
race, then she has a wonderfully designed
hull for one OF her size
Mr. Glennie's manner indicated doubt on
this point, however.
Vaikyrie viii in all probability come
out of the dock on Monday and go down
to the Hook, and win then spend the fol-
lowing two weeks in trimming up and get
ting generally in racing trim.
''We are going to sail for sport, !" said Mr..
Glennie, land II We lose will have parting
cocktail and smile before We 60"

regarding the boundary between British
Columbia and Alaska:
England has surveying party up there
now running new line to suit herself"
These engineers are not on Junkeiing
tour to anluse themselves; they are working
hard. They have a magnificent equipment
and have already accomplished grea deal.
'CLless We have gumpuon, We shall
lose an immense slice of Southeastern
Alaska. They will steal Glacier Bay and
sone grand harbOrs. We have not paid
enough attention to this question. Alaska,
until q few years ago. used to bc callsd
known about the country, and penpie here
did not take enough interest in it to think
about 1t.
We ure cut off," he continued, by the
general congress. We have no right to rep
resentatton, and what u needed now is a
man who will rise up and bring this question
iD the fun magnitude OF its Importance be-
fore the people.

DcIaensial. We lost there, too. ] suppose
til, English will decide on q boundary Of
thei- own between Canada and Alaska.
Then we Will howl, Ca NADIA VIII howl, too.
and there must be arbitration, of course.
Now. why do the English make this
move al this late day, after las years?
Since ls41 the boundary was settled fact
1t was never disputed when the territory
belonged to Russia and was known as Rds-
san-A AIDerica. 1t is still on all the English
niaIs. which sho ws that il was accepted by
England through al these years and ~ ask
for arbitration now on a new line is nothing
but inpertinence.

ney in his Washington stores only nine
were Catholics Mr.. Bayly promised to in-
vestisate the matter, and If found that he
had done Mt kenney an injustice he would
willingly make reparation. He was OF the
opinion, however, that the facts set forth
i'll the article were true.
Whether or noI AT. Boyer made any fur
ther investigation, witness did not know,
but the article was not corrected.
Mr.. c. u. Kenny was then called to the
stand, and testified that religion had moth
ing to do with the employment of clerks in
any of his stores, and therefore the article

purchased copy of the paper, was called
and testified to that fact, and a news
dealer testified to having sold copies of
that issue.

Mr.. Jeffords, announcing that he would
detain the court but few minutes, read
several authorities on criminal libel

that the statements contained in the pub

clear of this Papal boycotung, could only
have been published with but one purpose,
that of deterring the public in general from
