The course was laid fifteen miles dead
before the wind and back again. The di-
rection of the wind carried this course
south southwest from Sandy Hook light
ship almost straight down the Jersey
coast to a point off Asbury park, where
a white float with a red bail, was placed
to mark the turning point.
The Columbia was admirably handled
throughout II e race. Though the Sham
rock was first across the line by 43 sec
opds, the Columbia's Deer Island crew
of Yankees, wearing their picturesque
watch caps in Iselins colors, were 50
much handler than their Scotch rivals
that they had the Columbia's spinnaker
and balloon jib set first by three min
utes.
The spectators marve,ed at the cl I'd
OF canvas the levia .hians carried.
Straight up into the air the SENDER
yards carried the point of the pyramids
of canvas for 175 feet 1t is hard to
an ordinary tweIve-s,ory building, and
that the frall hulls were bowling along
under the pressure of l400J feet Of cam
vas. The twin balloons, with their fol-
lowing wind, lifted the Columbia al ng
like a great gull in the ten-knot breeze,
and carried her in ten minutes past he
Shamrock. But when the wind died to
six knots, as 1t did within rev MIN
utes, the Shamrock forged -eadily
ahead until at the end of forty-five min
utes she led by 200 yards Then a sud-
den haul of the wind to the north
west reached the Columbia first. The
big-bellied spinnaker was taken in, her
main sail was smartly jibed, and she
passed the Shamrock as if the latter had
been moored to her wharf. Instead of a
run, the canting of the wind now made it
a reach for the outer water, but the Col
umbia gradually edged over toward the
Jersey coast, with the intention OF ge,-
ting the wind astern and running raght
before it. The maneuver was success
fully accomplished after crossing the
Shamrocks S bow, but just as the sp
maker was set aboard the Columbia the
wind canted back to the north no tn
west and left her with cloud of can
vas shivering like a collapsed balloon.
The Shamrock had started d to fl uW the
Columbia's tactics. Twice she lowered
her Spinnaker boom as to break out the
big sail, but as the wind held from the
new quarter she jibed her main b ,om
instead and reached straight for the
mark.
COSTLY MANEUVER.
Although the maneuyer of the Columbia
had been successful it was a costly one,
and she lost several minutes by holding
onto her immense canvas in the hope
that the wind would shift back again.

LONDON, Oct 3.-Mr. Montague White,
consul general for the South African Re-
public in London, told the Associated
Press this morning that he telegraphed
President Kruger yesterday, urging him
to make a personal appeal to Lord Sails
bury, dwelling upon the iniquity of the
war; and proposing a scheme as a basis
of further negotiations. He said he was
momentarily expecting to hear that the
Transvaal government was sending an
utimatum to Great Britain, declaring the
dispatch of troops a casus belli, in which
event he would be compelled to close his
Offices Mr.. White added curious state
ment, to the effect that representative
of one of the largest capitalists of the
Rand had called upon him this morning
and asserted that it was known in capt.
talist circles that Lord Salisbury had de-
termined there should not be war, and
had instructed the secretary of state for
the colonies, Mr.. Chamberlain, to wire to
South Africa further assurances with re-
gard to the British desire to respect

Gen. Lawton, while riding up the road
to linus, was the target for many shots.
The telegraph line was cut yesterday at
bend Ill the road commanded by the
enemy's trenches, 100 yards distant, and
when Lieut. Cunningham, with a repair
party, appeared to restore the wires two
men and Lieut.. Cunninghams horse were
shot. Lieut. McCloskey then brought
gun of Riley's battery into the open and,
Il aiming it on the trenches, dispersed the
Fihpinos with two well-aimed shots.
Capt. Poore and the Sixth infantry at

trench, which they had constructed near
Tabuan, Island of Negros, and scattered
them. The Americans took one prisoner
and captured fifty-two rifles, 5000 cart
ridges and a quantity Of rice and hospital
supplies.
FILIPINOS ROUTED.
The fight was practically ended at 2
o'clock Another illustration of the In
surgent policy Of eveding the Americans
in force was Illustrated by the fact that
when our troops swept across several
miles Of open space, firing by volley and
cheering, the Filipinos melted away, and
only occasional glimpses of the enemy
could be obtained as they ran from the
trenches and lodged through the bushes

WE SHOULD ORGANIZE.

Douglas is a live, prosperous, grow ing city. New buildings are going up on every hand. X man who owns a number of houses in the city said few days ago, that people inquired of him almost every day for rent houses. The great Treadweli mines and mills fur nish employment at good wages for thousands of meu for 363 days in the year. These men have families and they are bringing them to Douglas and are building up little homes in the city.
 For many years Douglas has run along easily and quietly and has made no pretensions to ogreatness; was simply looked upon as a mining camp and the Juneau papers in speaking of the Tread we'll mills, referred to them as "across She channel from Juneau"
 But things are changed now and Douglas City is pushing to the front and will soon take its place, where it belongs, as the first city in Alaska.
 This being the case, the business men and property owners of our town. are beginning to realize the need of a united effort for the general good. They all appreciate the need of a unity of action; of organization and of CO., operation.
 In talking along these lines with some of the prominent business men of the city we were gratitied to find that all agree that what Douglas needs is a chamber of commerce or a board of trade.
 One man said, Ut is cue of the most essential things for the prosperity of the town. They have organizations of shis kind in every town in Alaska"
 Another said, Il am heartily in favor of it and am willing to do anything l Gan."
 Still another said, Just the proper thing, wish you would begin to punch them up."
 So, that is what we are now trying to do. "Agitate the matter" An Organi- zation should be effected, composed of all the business men of the city, and we think the time is at hand when start can easily be made, and the necessity is too apparent to require further com ment.

company C, Alaska National Guard.

The Douglas Island branch of the Alaska National Guards starts out ill healthy manner and, if the interest continues, we will probably soon have an organization here of which we may be proud.
 MT. Chas. A. Phelps has been ap- pointed, by Adjt. Gen. Kelsey, as com manding and recruiting officer for the present, or until an election is held and a full staff of officers selected.
 Following we give the muster roll as signed:
 We, the undersigned, hereby associate ourselves together for the purpose of forming a military company in the Alaska National Guards, under the laws of the United States and the District of Alaska.

Going East.

The Rev. MT. Wirt, pastor of the Con- gregational church of this city was a passenger on the Topeka for the south. He leaves for the purpose of making trip to New York in the in terests of the church and general church work in Alaska. Mr. Wirt is good man, an earnest, eloquent preacher and live, wide-a-w wake, hustling business man. He is doing much good in Alaska and his church could not find another man who could take his place. There is some talk of MT. Wirt takingp per sonaI supervision of the general work throughout Alaska. If such should be the case, Douglas City would lose him as a pastor. We would much regret this, but no doubt it would be to the interests of the church to make such a change.

ment.

Yesterday morning about 3 o'clock the peaceable, law abiding citizens down on the beach below the sawmill were awakened from their slum bers by She howls and cries of a number of Indians, that whiskey had transformed into veritable fends.
 Deputy Marshal McElheny was soon on the ground and found one Mortimer Austin, an Indian, with a knife wound in his neck, from which the blood was pouring in liberal quantities. Upon inquiry, the woun- ded Indian said that Haider Bob and Haider Sarah had done the deed Sarah was soon found and locked up and a second trip brought Bob. Mar shal McElheny took them to Juneau on the first boat and lodged them in the cooler.
 Judge Malcolm came over raboutnoon yesterday and took sworn statement of Austin, who is lowering between life and death.
 Whiskey selling to Indians should be, stopped on Douglas Island and the officers of the law should have the earnest cooperation of every citizen in the effort to accomplish this one thing.
