fortunately, 1 did not keep a copy of
the short note I sent him about the re-
sailing of Thursdays race, but as he
has my permission to publish it, L
can, of course, obtain a copy from
him. l consider it most unfortunate
that we could not have devised some
way whereby the last two races could
have been resailed. the committee
would have so ordered and without
in any way affecting their position.
Now, of course, it is too late TO do
offers be fully set forth in the report
OF your committee, namely: My hail
ing at the time of the start and finish
OF the last race; my asking for a
meeting of the cup committee the next
day; my offer to resail both races;
and my willingness to begin the whole
match over under any conditions and
at any place and time agreeable to
Dunraven. Very truly yours,
&c. OLIVER ISELIN."
Copy of Dunraven's first letter to
Iselin:
"419 Fifth Avenue, Sept H.
Dear Mr.. Tselin-I have received
your note in which you express IA wish
that yesterdays race should be re-
sailed. This is a proposition to which,
of course. cannot agree. You would
not have protested had you not be-
leved that Valkyrie had caused a
foul, by committing a breach of rules.
If she did She must take the conse-
quences. The regular committee have
decided for reasons, according toAtheir
judgment, but which I confess are be-
yond my comprehension, that L did
break the rules 1 made no protest,
because 1 thought the foul was prob
ably accidental, yet l considered De-
fender caused it. You consider Val
kyrie was to blame. The committee
decides that you are right and l am
wrong, and there the matter ends.
Yours very truly, 'DUNRAVEN.'

letter:
BAY Ridge, Thursday.
Dear Mr.. Iselin-I certainly could
not entertain your suggestion. Had
the committee ordered the race to be
resailed, that would have been a diff
ferent matter but how could [ posi-
bly, agree to resail a race decided and
given against me by the decision of
the committee. I wrote to you last
night to this effect and am sorry Won
did not receive my letter / had no
opportunity of communication with
you this morning. but Mr.. Duryea,
dare say, will have informed you as to

The officers of the Taft say the SPIN

the vicinity of Giabara. The soldiers
were very poorly equipped. Some or
them wore caps. others old straw mats.
and still others had nothing to wear
on their heads. AS soon as the reheis
found themselves in possession OF
Banes they cut all telegraph ana tele-

The officers Of the Taft say the whole
country is up in arms and that every

were left in the Porto Banes to load

1t is also stated that many of the

the rebels The rebels seem to have
plenty of cash. and the officers OF the

Of the insurgents to buy rifles and car

EVANSTON, Wyo., Sept 1.-THE
prosecution in the Crocker case today
examined several witnesses, Ole Berg
strom, Mr.. and Mrs. Geo. Murphy. Mrs

lift and Effie Walton and all of these,
except the last, swore as to the where
abouts of Croker at various times on
the day and evening of the homicide.
Crocker and Booth.
Mrs. Hitchings, who lived across the
street from the old barn. said she saw
from her window about o'clock that
evening, Crocker walk from his home
down the street toward the barn, and
a few minutes afterward saw Booth ap-
proach the barn from the opposite d.
rection. Mr.. and Mrs. Murphy said they
were going home from shopping at $40,
and saw Croker come down the street
toward the barn, drawing a hand sled,
and pause in front of the barn. Mrs.
Huggins said from her window across
the street at 5:15 she saw Croker come
down the street and enter the barn, but
saw no sled.
H. C. Shurtliffe, a clerk for Blythe &
Fargo, said Crocker was at their store
which times he made a purchase.
Created n Sensation.
The sensation of the day was the tes-
t.mony of Effie Walton, who said she
was ocasting with others on the street
in front of the barn, when she saw
Booth enter the barn. On cross-exam-
nation and over objection of the prose-
cut:On she said that lust as Booth en-
tered the barn he was struck on the
head with a club like "a baseball bat
in the hands of a man who had queer
looking nose; that Booth staggered and
fell. and then the barn door was closed.
She said the man had on light pants,
and that she had never seen him before
or since, and it was not Crocker. This
was about the time the electric lights
were turned on. She also SAID she heard
a voice from the barn say as Booth ap-
preached, "Here ne comes"
Varian Thrown Out.
An exciting incident of the day was
the attempt of Thomas Blyth and J. w.
Dykens, who are prosecuting this case,
to get c. S. Varian, of Salt Lake, into
the case to assist the prosecution. Var
ian was telegraphed for yesterday and
came up last night.
Counsel for defendant objected on the
ground that nonresident attorney
could not represent the state under our

ruled the motion to admit Varian and
he returns to Salt Lake wiser man
