debate, that relating to clerks for Repre-

Mr.. Payne, sustained the point of order,
reversing a ruling made in the last Con-

copyrighted by James Gordon Bcnnett1
London Feb 90, 220 a. m.-Not one
voice has been found to uphold Lord Dun
ravens action. One and all condemn his
conduct as tactless and the result of an
oVerhalHnced mind.
Several persons are still of the opinion
that Lord Dunraven has been the victim OF
foul play. Although nobody has ycnturcd
10 hint that the American yacht 0wHerS
were in every case above suspicion, still
the view is not extinct that there NAV
have been fire where Lord Dunrayen fanCied
he saw smoke, and that he was a fool in
every case for publishing his supposed dis
Coycry, and badly advised in not unre-
servet!ly apGOSizing when unable TO press
his case. -
Personally, this, yacht business has cost
him more prestige than politician would
lose by years of ignominiOus political
disaster. The general opinion is, tlat
international yacht races are for our time
Il thing OF the past.
