HEAVY FOG AND NO WIND.
Fifth Attempt at a Race Was a
Failure.

New York, Oct. II. Another
attempt to have race between
the Shamrock and the Columbia
has failed, a dense fog and no
wind being the cause. The official
announcement that the race was off
was made at 12:15. when the boats
were signalled to the effect that
another attempt to race would be
made tomorrow.
The fifth attempt at race was
Witnessed by only small mum mber
of excursion boats with few pass
engers aboard, indicating that the
public is thoroughly disguised by
SO many failures.

STILL IN THE DARK.
Police Fail to Fathom the New
York rlurder Mystery.

New York, Oct. 12.-The police
are still in the dark in their search
for the murderers of the woman,
portions of whose mutilated body
have been recovered. The officers
are still searching for the head,
and are inclined to drop the theory
that the woman was a victim of
malpractice. They are now inclin-
ed to believe it to have been the
work of jealous husband or a
lover.
Another ghastly find was made
this morning in the East river. A
portion of human body contain
ing the entrails was brought to the
surface, presumably those of the
murdered woman.

A Cable Company Conflict.

The Commercial Gable Company of
Cuba, which is a creature of the Postal
Telegraph Gable Company, is seeking
to lay a cable from Florida to Cuba. The
Western Union Telegraph Company,
which owns the cable already in use,
has appealed to the government to pre-
vent it's rival securing the privilege, as
sorting tina its own franchise Is eX-
elusive, as obtained from the Spanish
government. The Postal company asks
no subsidy, offers to transmit govern
ment messages upon such terms as the
government may fix and sell the cable
at it's actual value whenever a demand
is made for government ownership. The
Postal company claims that the exclu-
sive franchise granted to the Western
Union has expired. So far the military
government has declined to permit an
other cable to land upon Cuban shores
and the matter will undoubtedly be set
tied finally by a judicial decision on tht
| validity of the exclusive franchise.

made it possible for prosperity to fol-

by the United States to Cuba. They
might prove to be of short duration

Independent government be established
while matters are still in such condition
that the government, when created,
would have to be maintained by an

WORSE THAN JESSE JAMES.


american Commercial Traveler.)
The history Of corporate amalgama-
ton in this country is a shameful one.
1t is written in blood n pauperlza-
ton. Strong rivals are crushed by force
and the weak one are crowded out
through fear. Look at the Standard
Oil, the big four beef combine, the
whisky trust and the trust which en-
ables Pierre Lorillard, Jr., to live in
idleness. The Standard Oil drives men
out of business by methods more in
famous than Jesse James ever en-
ployed in driving a bargain at the end
of a revolver; the big four is a vampire
in peace, and a ghoul in war. 1t fed
American soldiers OF putrid beef, n
of it's ample means sought the corrup-
ton of high authority. The whisky
trust-we refer to the old whisky trust
fought it's competitors with dynamite
while fattening on the blood of inno-
cence. The tobacco trust reduces to
serfdom reputable dealers, forcing them
not only to buy at an advanced price,
but fixing the price at which they must
sell.
