ENGLAND WANTS |  A YACHT RAGE
Charles Russell on His Way
 With a Challenge ,
TO NEW YORK YACHT CLUB
Sir Thomas Lipton, Imbibing the Anglo Saxon Alliance Spirit Compliments American Sportsmen-Quite a
 Stir Over the Event.

London, Aug. 4.-Whie the challenge of Sir Thomas Lipton for the America cup continues to be continually indorsed an undercurrent of resentment prevails in the highest yachting circles, not on account of the Dunraven incident, but, it is alleged, because Sir Thomas Upton is not consid- cred as representative yachtsman.
 It transpires that the Royal Ulster Yacht club wrote, as a matter of etiquette to the yacht racing association, asking for the latter's approval and advice as to the chal- lenge. The yacht racing association ac- knowledged the receipt of letter, but said they had no jurisdiction either to acceler- ate or impede the matter.
 Charles Russell, who has been delegated to hand Sir Thomas challenge to the New York Yacht club, will leave London to-day in order to confer with the officers of the yacht racing association. If he finds they have no Jurisdiction in the matter, he will : ask them to announce that fact forthwith.
 After this matter is settled the challenge will be signed by the Royal Ulster club and will be cabled to New York. The same dis patch will announce that MT. Russell is sailing for New York to exchange views with the officials of the New York Yacht club.
 Mcssrs. Lipton and Russell and the build and designer of the yacht which is to compete for the America cup had a three hours conference to-day, in which they discussed details in connection with the Shamrock It was merely a preliminary in- terchange of ideas, however, and nothing definite was settled.
 Sir Thomas Lipton was interviewed to- day in regard to the proposed race, and expressed satisfao tion at the cordial ae- ceptance of the announcement of the chal- lenge in the United States. He said:
 '.Of one thing I am quite certain. What ever may be the result of the race, shall have no cause to complain of the treat ment by my fellow sportsmen across the Atlantic. There are no yachtsmen in the world with whom I would rather engage in a friendly encounter than those of the United States
 Mir Russell, in an interview today, said: : England ard Scotland failed to carry off the cup. Now an Irishman is going to spend from fifty to sixty thousand pounds merely frcm love of ahe sport and to have a fair, square-try"
 Contir:IIng, MT. Russell said: Relative to~the excursion boat nuisance, Sir Thom- as has perfect confidence that his Am ric n D rivals will permit nothing to interfere with clear course for the competitors T
 The St. James Gazette this afternoon commenting upon the proposed race, says:
 "Opinions at Cowes may be divided as to the advisability of risking further di- cussions of the same nature as those that marrod the last race, but there is no req son why the conditions of what occurred should reappear There were lessons to be leained on both sides, and if the Amer- cans wjl kindly remove their submarine

VIM. E. TEGNER
 DIED LAST NIGHT
He Was Injured Wednesday il
 the Mineral Wreck.
HE LEAVES TEN DAUGHTERS
Was a Shoemaker By Trade--One oi the Oldest and Most Respected Citizens of Elyton--Investi-
 gating Cause of Wreck.

w. r. Tegner, who was so seriously in- jured in the wreck of the Blocton accom- modation train on the Mineral road on Wednesday, died last night at 9:15 o'clock at the WEson-Brown infirmary. He had never since the accident rcgained con- sciousness, and the end came very quietly.
 As has been stated, the base of his skull was fractured, and there was not one chance in a hundred of his recovering, es- pecially at his advanced age in life.
 The remains were immediately prepared for burial, and the funeral services will be held this afternoon from his residence in Elyton. The interment will take place at the old Elyton cemetery
 Mr. Tegner was 6S years of age, and was one of the most respected citizens of Ely ton. He was a shoemaker by trade, and has for nineteen years lived in the house which he occupied at the time of his death.
 The news of the accident and its fatal termination was deplored by the whole community.
 MT Tegner leaves ten daughters to sur vive him, all of whom are married. He was returning from visit to one of his daughters and sons-in-law, MT. and Mrs J. M. Maxwell, at BroolSwood. when the wreck occurred. Mr. and Mrs. Maxwell were with him at the time.
 Mrs. J. A. Temple of West End is an other of his daughters.
 Investigating Cause of Wreck
 The officials of the mineral road are still at a loss as to the cause of the wreck, for as has been stated, the track shows not the slightest indications of having caused the catastrophe.
 The matter will be investigated thorough ly, however, and if possible, the trouble will be located.
 The wrecking train was at work all day yesterday raising the cars and placing them back on the track. As has been stated, the amount of damage done the three coaches is not nearly so great as was at first sup posed, and it is thought that only com paratively small amount of work will be needed to put them in good shape again The condition of the cars after they are recovered may give some light as to the cause of the wreck. s'i9 sdJ

A GLIMPSE on CABUL.


AS Miss Hamilton talks OF Cabul and Its
court, the people and their ruler, there
rises before the eye a great drab city,
swarming with human beings, some hand
some as gods. others grotesquely hideous
az apes, seething with soldiery; city Oh
mud houses, with mosque and palace
rising above them. The flowers are love-
ly. the fruits delicious. the climate de-
lightful. The Ameer has various palaces,
pleasure resorts. shooting-boxes, gardens.
At the court the day is occupied In busl-
ness, in the evening after dinner IN re-
lakes. The Ameer sits on couch In a
fine and spacious chamber, listening 10 the
ceaseless babble OF his courtiers, who are
playing backgammon chess. and so on.
The Ameer loves babble. He himself Is
putting a his cigarette, reading some rare
volume of Arabic or Persian. Or moon
shee is reading to him. or he chats with
his doctor; or she plays to him on a mag
nlficent grand plano. decorated by Burne-
Jones. He pretends to care for its melli-
fluous notes, but secretly prefers the
harsh. barbaric strains which easterns
call music.
Poor Miss Hamilton was not allowed 10
have any English books or papers The
Ameer thought they would be bad for her.
She might grow too wise. Perhaps II was
as well. for she was thrown upon her
own resources, and studied men and wo-
men. legends and history in oral form.
When not in attendance at court she had
a fine house Of her own, with no less than
seventeen rooms in it. Here she quickly
established herself In large though unpro-
fitable practice, the extent OF which may
be Judged by the fact that on one day
she had as many as 700 patients. Needless
to say she had assistance. She had an
admirable English nurse, who Is in Caoui
at this very time. She had soldiers 10
