RailroadRatc Hearing.

GREENvILLE, S. c., Aug. 1S.-Mr.
Augustine T. Smythe was heard all the
morning in the rate hearing case, argu-
ing that the court had jurisdiction to
prevent continuance in the rate cut
ting. Mr.. Smythe argued that the
courts have been invoked TO enjoin
rates by railroad commissions and legis-
lation and yet it is contended that the
court cannot stop railroads from de-
stroyiug each other. The courts have no
higher duty than to keep such public
institutions as railroads going. This
afternoon Mr.. King argued to have the
restraining order set aside and Judge
Simonton is expected to take the case
under advisement.

Fatal Termination of Yacht Race.
LONDON, Aug. 1S-The Royal Albert
Yacht Club regatta was continued at
Southsea to-day. There was whole
sail breeze, but rain fell heavily. The
starters were the Ailsa, Britannia,
Satanita and Meteor. While the race
was in progress the Meteor came into
collision with the Isolde, dismasting
her and throwing her crew into the
sea. All of the boats stopped inn
mediately and began the rescue of the
Isolde's crew, which was accomplished.
The race was then abandoned. Baron
Zsdwitz the owner of the Isolde, who
was on board his yacht, was struck in
the head and face by some of the frag-
ments of the masts which the collision
sent flying in every direction and was
so seriously injured that he died short
| ly afterwards.
The crew of the Isolde experienced
some very narrow escapes, but all Of
them were rescued. A sailor belong
ing to the British gunboat Ant, which
was lying at anchor near the scene OF
the collision, rescued one of the Isolde's
men in drowning condition. The &C.
cident cast gloom over everything
and the races were abandoned for the
day. The Isolde was examined after
being towed to Portsmouth, and it was
found that besides being dismasted and
having all of her gear swept from her
deck, she had large hole stove in her
bow. The Isolde was twenty-rater
yacht constructed by the Herreshofls al
Bristol, P. l., in 1895 for Prince Leo
pold. of Germany, who sold the boat to
Baron Won Zedwitz. As yachtsman,
Baron Won Zedwitz was great sports
man. His wife was daughter of the
late Charles Roosevelt, of New York.
The Meteor sustained no injury
| whatever by the collision.

priest what she hears" He then seized
her about the waist and turned her
heels over head. He meant nothing

seemed to go with all the boys.

The Mexican Border Trouble.

NoGALEs, Ariz. Aug. 1S.-Three
Yaqui prisoners brought in last night
have been identified as having taken
part in the shooting here on the 18th.
The story circulated that Arizona
militia men and United States customs
guards went to the Mexican side and
engaged the renegades in fight on the
morning of the 18th is not true. The
inspectors did not shoot until the
Indians opened fire on them as they
retreated over the hill near the line.
Word has been received here to the
effect that 1000 Yaquis employed in
mining, eighty miles southwest of No
gales, nave risen in sympathy with the
recent revolutionary movements in this
place.

beginning to adopt the revenue tariff

commenced to attribute the wealth OF

of the country, to the high protective
