Council Fails to See That Any Discourtesy
was Displayed-A Gentle Call Down
Because the New Yorker Rushed Into
Print With His Grievance.
London. October IA meeting of the
Yacht Racing association was held this
afternoon at which was drafted a reply
to the letter addressed to the council Of
the association by Howard Gould, owner
OF the yacht Niagara, protesting against
the action Of the committee of the asso-
citation In boarding and examining the
Niaga ara in May, in the absence of ME-
Gould and without giving him previous
notice Of their inuention.
Sir-I am directed by the council of
the Yacht Racing association to acknowl-
edge the receipt of q letter from you
dated September %. am to reply that
the visit of the committee was made in
the usual course. solely in consequences
of the official measurer having in May,
1896, in execution of his duty, reported
to tho council that the yachts water
tanks were constructed together In such
manner that they might be used in shift
ing ballast. Notice of such visits is never
given. This committee expected to find
you on board.
Hearing from the captain that yon had
gone to London, few minutes previous
ly, they asked permission to inspect the
water tanks. which was readily given.
The observation confirmed the report of
the measurer, and they recommended to
you in writing that the tanks should be
disconnected, at the same time expressly :
disolaiminR any imputaGion that the
tanks were actually put to improper use.
The council failed to perceive that any
discourtesy was displayed toward you.
Certainly none WAS inue ded. 1t is not
necessary to enter into discussion of the
other points raised by your letter. AS you
have thought fit to make your grievance
public, 1t is proposed that this reply
pass through the same channel

New York, October 12.-The Vest
India hurricane which arrived in this
city Yesterday, was today bowling of
the coast, making the water boil and
driving the breakers mountains high up
on the coast. Little damage was done in
New York harbor. The effects of the
storm were felt all along the New Jer-
sey coast. At Cape May and Atlantic
City the cyclone swept over the sea with
such force that water was forced into
the meadows about the city and cover
Ing the railroad tracks. while the waves
we're making great inroads into the
beach all along the coast.
At Long Branch and Asbury Park the
storm was the fiercest ever experienced.
At He'd Bank, N. j., number Of boats
were blown on the river shore at night
and broken to pieces. There is more or
less damage to small summer docks and
bulkheads

the Long Island coast received this af-
ternoon say the storm has increased in
fury, and much damage is being done.

along the Coney Islaud beach at $500,
600. The Boulevard was flooded as far
as Neptune avenue. The shelter houses
az the intersection of the Concourse
and Boulevard were washed away and
the old iron pier was cut In two by the

There are other elements of the situa.
ton, however, which offer difficulties.
Tho men who grind the wheat into flour
are divided into two classes, technically
known rs the spring wheat millorS and
the winter wheat millers from the quail
ity of grain they handle. OF the former
there arp 30, but If the latter there are

lows that play the mischief with such
elaborate plans as Mr.. Hubbard is cx-
pert i'll making. The big lnillers may
agree to go into Il combine and put M
the price OF flour, but the small millcrs
will cut under them ana eventually the
pool goes to smash.
Ii has been this feature Of the problem
that has batiicd all former attempts to
form flour combine of Il national char
acter and it is this that has kept down
the price Ct flour to IL reasonable figure
The millcrs have been waiting for Il
Grant ora Napoleon to organize them
and lead them on to victory and high
prices. Mr., Hubbard thinks he is the
man to do it, and he is going to mako a
desperate effort to get the millcrs, big
and small, all into his North American
association.
Thus far Mr.. Hubbard has succeeded
in almost everything he has undertaken
True, he was very poor for awhile when
he first Went west from New York state
where he Was born, bat he had not
struck his gait then. He started Il small
grocery store and made signal failure
of it. Then he started Il linseed oil mill
and began to make money fast Mr..
Willard and other men with money be-
came interested in the venture and gave
the peculiar genius of Hubbard rchance
to spread itself. III short time the lin
seed oil business of the country was in
their grasp.
On the heels of this venture Mr.. Hub
bard went into the milling business.
Fortune smiled on his enterprise, and his
business grew like weeds in an Arkansas
truck patch. He bought mill after mill.
He built a system Of elevators on the
Omaha system Of the Northwestern rail
road. To-day he controls 10 wheat Gle
yatorS i'll southern Minnesota, and his
mills turn OHt ESQ, 900 barrels of flour
year. He can make and unmake the price
of flour III his own district, but that does
not satisfy him. He wants to control
the entire -four output OF the United
States and control it in the interests of
himself and other millers Such is the
ambition of the American -four king"
