YACHT RACE SCHEDULE.
To Try Again Tuesday, Thursday and
Daily Thereafter Until Completion.

New York, Oct. 9.-By a mutual
agreement between the New York
Yacht club and the Royal Ulster Yacht
club, the Columbia and Shamrock viii
sail every day after next Thursday un-
til the question of the national yachting
supremacy is established.
The request for such an arrangement
came from Sir Thomas Upton, owner
of the challenger. Sir Thomas wanted
the races to be sailed daily after next
Tuesday, but the members of the New
York Yacht club refused to assent to
such an arrangement.
The meeting at which the arrange
ment for a change of dates was reached
was held at the New York Yacht club
Sunday There were present r. c.
Sharman Crawford and H. NJ. McGiU
DOwney. representing the Royal Yacht
club, and Lewis Cass Ledyard, J. Y. s
Oddie, F. w Hourst, Edward NJ Brown
and H. F. Lippitt, representing the
New York Yacht club. At the conclu-
sion of the meeting. the following agree
ment was drawn up and given out for
publication:
The foregoing agreement (the chal-
lenge agreement) is further modified by
mutual consent as follows:
'fStrike out the clause beginning 1.-THE
first race shall be sailed on Tuesday,
October 3, 1S99,' and substitute the fol-
lowing:
The races shall be sailed on the fol-
lowing dates until the series be com
pleted, viz: October 10. 1899, October
u and on zach following day except
Sunday, provided, however, that, imme-
diately on the conclusion Of the race Of
October II and of each subsequent race
the regatta committee shall inquire OF
each contestant whether he is willing to
start the next day. and should either
contestant answer in the negative, one
day shall intervene before starting the
next race. Sunday shall not count aa
such intervening day"
The agreement was signed by the
members Of the committees represent
ing both yacht clubs interested.
There was no friction in reaching the
agreement as to the change of dates
Sir Thomas Upton at first asked that
the race be started daily after Tuesday
The club decided that this would hard 2
Iy be prudent. In the first place, it
would be entirely unfair to the public.
Thousands of persons have made ar
rangements to attend the races on 3
| certain day. Hundreds Of excursions
| have been arranged for and to make q.
change in the racing dates on so short
a notice would not be right to the pubs
/ lie.

MADE MISTAKE.
Pottawatomie Populists Nominate
Wrong Man For Office.

Lester Jennings of Pottawatornie
county was nominated for register of
deeds on the supposition that he cast
one of the four votes recorded in the
Twentieth Kansas for the Pottawato-
mie county boys who are in the service.
Three of the votes We're for the Repub-
lican ticket. The other was for the
POpulist ticket.
The Populist wiseacres concluded
that Jennings was the POpulist and
hOnOred him with a slim chance for an
office. Pottawatomie county is always
Republican Now the father of the
young man is out in an interview in
which he says his son is not a PopuIist
On the contrary, according to his faith
er, the young man has been writing let
ters filled with Republican commenda-
tions and expressing the hope that Re
publicans will triumph this fall
The young mans father says the SOL
der will decline the office by wire as
soon as he reaches San Francisco and
ascertains what has been done for him
by the POpulists.

Before Wednesday of This Week
at the Earliest.
THEY LEFT YOKOHAMA
September %, Six Days Later
Than Pekin.
Which Vessel Is Now Two Days
Overdue.

San Francisco, Oct. st is now
known that the Tartar bringing the
Kansas regiment did not sail from Yo-
kohama until September 25, and IS not
due here until Wednesday. The city
of Pekin, which is now more than two
days overdue, and the transport Penn
syIvania with the Washington regiment
left Yokohama on September 19, or six
days earlier than the Tartar.
Gov. Stanley and a party of prom
fnent Kansans are here to extend the
states welcome. AS soon as the Tartar
is sighted the reception party will go
down the bay on a tug to greet the re-
turning soldiers, but they will not be
permitted to board the Tartar until af-
ter the quarantine inspection. It viii
probably be "a hours after the Tartar
is sighted before the Kansans will be
permitted to land. They viii then be
marched to the Presidio. where they
will go into camp until they are mus
tered out.
In conversation with Governor Stan
ley today, General Shafter stated that
the earliest possible date at which the
regiment could be mustered out was
three weeks. from the time of its arrival
and that four weeks might be required.
1t is certain that the regiment will not

The Tartar sailed from Manila Sep
tember p going via Hong Kong, Ma
gasaki and Yokohama. The Tartar was
detained at Hong Kong for few days
by the British harbor officials on the
grounds that il was overcrOwded and
that the food supply was not sufficient.
The war department convinced the
British officials that these allegations
were not based on facts and the trans
port was permitted to depart from
Hong Kong on September IA.
The Tartar started from Manila with
48 officers, 7S5 enlisted men, Kansans,
400 discharged men. 13 civilians and 7
hospital corps; total, 1913 General

WORRY OVER SAMOA.

Some apprehension is felt in official

dent.

General Oliver Roberts, who used to
live in this city, has the most blood
curdling tale ever written, in the last
number OF THE Wide World,' al il
Illustrated magazine published in New
York and Canada.
He tells where he went to examine a
mine in Inyo county and was lowered
down a shaft in a bucket by two miners,
the miners working the windlass.
When about a hundred feet down he
poured about a billion bats. The sick
ening odor nearly killed him, and final
ly the bucket went through the bat
qualification and Just as he was begin
ming to get Over his awful experience
with the bats, he heard a kissing
noise about a hundred feet down and
discovered that the timbers of the
shaft were swarming with rattlesnakes.
They were all trying to get aboard the
bucket and get a ride to the next sta
ton.
The bucket kept lowering e he was
beating off the r%attlers with a pick
handle, when he discovered that he
was being lowered into a stump hole,
that contained rattlesnakes by the
thousands, and several feet deep.
Down and down and still down he
went. until d few feet further and he
would be landed right in the midst Of
the rattlers, when the buckeC stopped
lowering just as he was getting ready
to climb the rope.
Then the r~attIers got up on end and
spit venom at him, until his clothes
were beginning to get wet from the
continual eXpectorations of the snakes.
Up she went finally and back through
the living clustered millions of bats
and finally into the open air and the
arms Of the min=rs who were working
at the windIass.
1t appears that the mine was an
abandoned location. There had been
a shaft SUNK two hundred feet aud a
tunnel run to the shaft. After the
mine was abandoned it became filed
with r~attlers and bats. which came in
