Harmony i'm InterJal1e Yachting

ROCHESTER,, N. Y, Dec. 2O-It was
o'clock this morning when the dele
gates to the meeting of the Lake Yacht
Racing associa ton concluded its bust
ness. They had met to accept or reject
two clauses in the racing rules and
regulations The most important of
these two clauses was the one which
required that the rnidship section of
yachts built in the future must have
thirty-five per cent immersion. The
other clause was, that the vessels
should have their low water line meas
ured with crews aboard. The first
one was not adopted, as it was formu-
lated by the delegates who met at
Buffalo a month or so ago to formulate
rules which would be accepted by a
yacht racing union of the great lakes,
yet to be named.
Another result will undoubtedly be
that the Interlake Yacht Racing asso-
citation of Lake Erie will not be pleased
at the action of the delegates of this
lake and it is very improbable that
the union will accept the rules as
amended to suit this association. The
clubs were represented by delegates
from Oswego, Toronto, Royal Canadian
Yacht club, Queen City Yacht club, of
Toronto; Royal Hamilton Yacht club
and Victoria Yacht club, of Hamilton,
and the Rochester Yacht club.
E. C. Berriman of Chicago, owner Of
Vencedor, and T. S. Perkel, of Racine,
Wis, designer of the Vencedor, were
present in an advisory capacity.

services-Day's Events in Min
neapOIis.

Inspector John Stavlo made an i'm
portant capture last night in the arrest
of Charles Hanson, who, by his own
confession, admits that he is the man
who slugged julius Bonike, the North
day at the hands of a gang of toughs.
This arrest rounds up theelast member
of the gang who were implicated in the
robbery, and Inspector Stavlo did a
piece of successful work upon which
he has been engaged three days. Han
son was locked up at the South side
station and will be arraigned in court
at o'clock this afternoon.
Hanson has lived off and on in Min
neapons for some time. Last summer
he worked in Dakota, but has been here
for the past two months. When arrest
ed, he was comfortably and stylishly
dressed, having on new clothes from
head to foot, the cost of which must
have been near 500. He also had on
his person the sum of $88. 40.
The police have been of the opinion
that their two prisoners, Louis and
GUstave Anderson, arrested Tuesday
for robbing the old farmer, were not
the only ones Implicated. Hanson was
known to be friend of the Andersons
and when he suddenly seemed to have
come into possession of a sum of
money, judging from his actions, sus-
picion was directed towards him and
close watch was kept upon him.
Several days ago he intrusted to a
friend $130 in cash, and since then has
been drawing upon him until at the
time of the arrest only about $SS was
all that remained.
Bonike has been staying at the CEN
trail station since the day of his mis-
fortune, for he has had no money.
Naturally he is delighted at the recov-
cry of at least a part of his wad, and
he will also be given the clothes which
Hanson bought with his ill-gotten
booty. The old man undoubtedly tells
straight story, and the police ex-
pect to recover the greater part of the
money lost.

CLOCKS WITH NERVES.
They Refuse to Keep Correct Time
When Placed in High Buildings.

There is one disadvantage about very
tall buildings which is just now be-
ing noticed by the occupants 1t is per-
haps a small disadvantage, but still it
is worth considering, as it involves
some annoyance to those who have
not made provision for it. Says the New
York Times:
The trouble referred to is the stop
ping of pendulum clocks by the vi
bration Of the buildings Many a pen
dulum clock that has kept accurate
time for years in old-fashioned low
structures has refused to run at all
when moved into some one Of the new
tall steel-framed buildings in the lower
part of the city. On the lower floors
or the buildings the clocks run fairly
well, but when higher up in the build
ings they become more whimsical. and
on the topfloors will not run at all.
Mr. Dunn, of the Gather: bureau.
has a fine pendulum clock in the tower
of the Manhattan Life building, which
has not done an honest days work
since the weather bureau was moved
into the new offices. 1t has stopped so
often that it is no longer to be relied
upon. The pendulum swings continu
ally, but only from the vibration of
the building, as the clock has not been
wound for weeks. The only relief is in
replacing the pendulum clocks with
others that have balance wheels.

Numerous bands of insurgent guerriIlas
also have created reign Of terror
among the Spanish 'garrisons in the
smaller towns; who hardly dare venture
outside their. picket lines. All news
from the east side of the island is that
the insurgents are doing as they please
in the hills beyond the trocha. Two
more garrisons have just deserted to
the Cubans, one of $50, the other of
200 men,.
Their officers alone remained faith
ful and were permitted to escape to
other Spanish strongholds Various en-
gagements are reported at Estever be-

an advancing column of Spanish SOL

Spanish, with considerable loss. drove
the insurgents off the field Neverthe-
less, the insurgents returned later and

BICYCLING IN GERMANY.
Riders Are Generally Required to
Proceed Single File.

Complaints are frequently made by travel
ing American bicycle riders touring through
Germany of obstacles and delays caused by
the very rigorous laws governing the use OF
bicycles en- the public roads in that country
Gays the Washington Post. For the benefit
OF such tourists, United States Consul Sawter
at Glanchau, cites few of the stricter rules
which cyclers are called upon to observe
throughout the empire. Cycling on public
ST. eets and roads, particularly in Saxony, he
says, is subject to minute and carefully en-
forced police regulations, which in many
places prohibit altogether the use of brake
less machines.
The roads, with but few exceptions, are
perfect, and wheeling is smooth and easy
but on account of rainy weather, which pre-
walls most of the year, wheel guards for wet
days are indispensable. The alarm bell is, of
course, demanded everywhere. The law re-
quires that the lamp be rather highly placed
on the wheel and be kept lighted from within
half an hour after sunset to half an hour be-
fore sunrise. Each bicycle must be pro-
vIded with an easily managed brake operat-
ing quickly and powerfully Cycling on roads
exclusively intended for pedestrians or on
the elevated footpaths and highways is
strictly prohibited. Two bicyclers may ride
side by side VIXEN it can be done without
blocking the thoroughfare or annoying other
riders or vehicles; otherwise single file is the
rule. More than two machines abreast are
not permitted under any circumstances.

LOVERS STOLEN BY BACHELORS.
AntI-COurting Crusade Likely to
Disrupt a Society.

BRIDGEPORT, Conn.,, Dec. 20.-St Pat
ricks society is threatened with disruption
because of an organization styling itself the
Bachelors club. This club began an anti
counting crusade Sunday night; but, owing
to the great commotion stirred up, is now
awaiting developments. Members OF the
Bachelors club started Sunday night to carry
their ideas into force by descending on the
homes of young ladies where they knew
members OF the st. Patrick's society would
be found. Their plan of procedure was to
gain admission to the house, seize the young
man and take him away by force.
The Bachelors visited about dozen houses
Three members were taken from one. In an
other, a member of the society, alarmed
when he saw from the window so many of
his companions, concealed himself beneath a
sofa. He was discovered and dragged from
the house. Objections from the young wo-
men or members of their families use
less.
In the club house last night there were ac-
cusations and recriminations The young
men were in an uproar. John ORourke, the
recording secretary, started to explain the
cause of division in the club. He admitted
that there had been raid but said that
all the members had been warned that the
Bachelors intended to begin the crusade.
Mr.. O'Rourke said the intense feeling
would doubtless convince the ''anti-courters"
there must be a cessation of hostilities The
society fears for it's existence If threats Of
the bachelors are carried out. No was
willing to admit that he was Bachelor.
