What the Post Says.

LONDON, Aug. 9.-The Morning Pos, says that
Sir Thomas Lipton's challenge for a contest for
the Americas Cup is absolutely definite and
unconditional. Tho whole matter is left in the
hands Of the New York Yacht Club. II will be
for the committee OF the club to settle the
terms OF the contest.
The Post adds: Certainly this Is chivalrous
to n degree. Doubtless Sir Thomas. who
knows American feeling intimately. has good
reason for anticipating n similar spirit on the
part Of the present holders OF the cup. but from
n seaman's standpoint we will be playing with
the odds against us until we build n yacht in
Canada under British supervision from designs
prepared here"
The Chronicle publishes an interview with
Sir Thomas Upton, who asserted that there
had been q tendency TO underrate the smart
ness Of American yachtsmen and the craft they
pit against the British. He added:
Il do not intend to repeat the mistake this
time. We are going to have a yacht as per-
fectly fitted for the task she has got to perform
as money and brains can make her. Her name
will be Shamrock. / do not wish the other side
to know what we are doing, so will not say
how the boat will be built. whether Of metal or
In the course Of the interview Sir Thomas de-
no other yacht was ever made in before. I have
taken the matter in hand az a business. / have
never undertaken anything In which i have not
succeeded"
The blatant self-assertion in the interview is
not likely TO be approved by the sporting COM
munity here.

SYRACUSE CAR STRIKE ENDED.
The State Board Uses Its Influence to Settle
tho dispute.

tHC LblsputCs
SYRACUSE. Aug. THE strike Of the railway
employees Of the Rapid Transit Railway Com
pany, which tied up the service In Syracuse
completely for nearly three days. terminated
here peaceably tonight. The State Board Of
Mediation and Arbitration had been working
steadily for twenty-four hours with a view OF
bringing the matter to a settlement. The
strikers were Arm in their demands and the
general public sympathized with the move
lnent. Since Friday afternoon not q car has
passed over one OF the company's lines, and
suburban residents suffered much inconven-
fence. The difficulty finally narrowed down to
the refusal OF the company to recognize the
union. But the strikers were firm until to-
night. when the State again made its influence
FELT. and the dispute was amiably adjusted.
The Rapid Transit Company rescinds its order
that every employee shall deposit S25 with the
company and 1t agrees to settle all future diff
culties with a committee from the men. This is
equivalent to recognizing the union. though
the contract does not 30 stipulate. Anyway. it
was satisfactory TO the strikers, and the com
pany saw that 1t was useless t. further oppose
the stand taken by the men.
ohe hundred, men arrived In Syracuse to-
night to. take the places Of the strikers. but
they viii. be sent back 10 their homes. One man
came IN from Albany this afternoon. He was
mmet at the station by, a delegation of strikers.
Ihey, took MIN Tor a hack ride about the city,
gave MIN plenty to eat and drink. and then pur-
CHASED a return ticket TO Albany and put him on
thetrain. He was satisfied to go. Thu was the
programme which would have been carried out
win other laborinG men from out of town had
npt negotiations terminated so satisfactory at 4
O'Clock. The men will take out their cars as
between the company and the strikers now
prevails. The public Is particularly pleased.

 The crew of the New York is being cared for at the hotel in Halfmoon Bay proper. Captain Peabody, his wife and child are staying in private house The captain says that he will not go to San Francisco until some dis position has been made of the ship and cargo. Several underwriters and in surance adjusters arrived at the scene of the wreck tonight to see if there is any possibility of either floating the vessel or having her hauled off the beach by tugs. A heavy sea was break ing over her at the time and it became dark before they had an opportunity of getting a good view of the surround ingS.
 They will go down to the beach to- morrow morning to make another sur vey of the situation. They fear that a heavy northerly gale, such as was experienced last week, will mean the total breaking-up of the vessel.
