boats ever sailed better race, and they
were equally well handled as far as l
could see" Speaking of the Columbia,
Sir Thomas said: "She is n fine, fast
boat. and she was splendidly sailed. We
gave her three rousing cheers, and her
people responded right heartily. Mr.. Ise-
lin and those associated with him on
board are honorable gentlemen, and |
wish to say that it is "A pleasure to sail
against such competitors" Asked if he
wished to say something about the Sham
rock, Sir Thomas said: "My boat was
well sailed, and the sails We're well han
died. | have no complaints to make at
all AS | said before, it was square

WASHINGTON.
From our Regular Correspondent.
Washington, Oct. 10, ISo,


Senator Jones. chairman of the
Democratic National Committee re-
turned to Washington last week,
entirely restored to health. Since his
arrival he has familiarized himself with
the political outlook and says that the
situation in Kentucky, while some
wha; involved, is not serious and that
he is confident Goebe will win. Ex-
Senator Blackburn, who was in Wash
ington several days last week, says he
never was more certain of anything in
his life than that Goebe will be the
next Governor Of Kentucky. Senator
Jones says that all the information he
has had from Ohio has been decidedly
favorable to Democratic success in
the State and gave this plain talk for
the benefit of the kickers in the party:
81 consider it the duty of Democrats
everywhere to stand by the nominees
of the party and not to indulge in
factional fights. The principles which
the candidates represent are far more
important than any squabbles among
the local politicians, and the defeat of
the standard-bearers in this campaign
will have a harmful influence in stop
ping the furtherance OF national is

G. OLIVER ISELIN.

English hopes of lifting the cup have
never been higher since the Thistle met
the Volunteer, in 1887. Like the Sham
rock, she, too, was decisivey defeated in
the first hours sailing. The regatta com
mittee, as a result of the showing made
by the defender, are convinced that the
cup is safe. Blow high, blow low, Colum-
bia, it is believed by her manager, Mr..
Iselin, can take the measure of her rival.
Sir Thomas, like the true sportsman that
he is. confessed after the race that he
had been fairly and sQuarely beaten. He
had no apologies to make, saying that he
would die game and race the series.

SHAMROCK DISABLED.
Columbia Takes the Second Race In
Good Time.

NEW YORK, Oct. 1S-The topmast
of the cup challenger Shamrock was car
ried away % minutes after the big single
sticker had crossed the starting line yes
terday, and her enormous clubsail, with
Its 5000 feet of canvas, came rattling
down on the deck, leaving her a hopeless
cripple. No amount of pluck or courage
could face such catastrophe, and Cap
tain HOgarth Immediately abandoned the
race, towing back to the anchorage after
he had cleared away the wreckage. The
Columbia continued over the course
alone, placing to her credit the second of
the races for the Americas cup. The
accident to the Shamrock ruined the
race and caused the keenest regret among
the yachtsmen and the thousands of
sightseers who were on hand to witness
what had promised to be II glorious duel.
1t is unfortunate that the defender
should have been the beneficiary of an
accident, as there is little glory in beat
ing cripple. but the rule is ironclad. If
crippled before the start, time for repairs
Is allowed, but once over the line if any
thing carries away the sufferer must
make such repairs as he can or if rem
dered hors de combat, as the Shamrock
was, he must take the consequences.
There is good sense and logic behind the
rule. The races are test of construction
as well as design and seamanship.
Doubtless if Mr.. lselin could have had
his choice in the matter he would gener-
ously have declined to continue in view
of the crippled condition of his rival, but
the rule gave him no alternative

port removed, her Oregon pine topmast,
as big as a telegraph pole, 60 feet long
and IA inches in diameter, snapped oll

kite, but was also sustaining the crush.

Later in the afternoon the Shamrock was
towed up to the Erie basin, in the upper
bay. A new topmast will be sent up to,
day, and she will be remeasured. She
will probably be taken out for spin to
try her new stick, and the third race OF
the series will be sailed tomorrow. This
race will again be over a windward and
leeward course and If the Columbia wins
the series will have been completed with
out giving the Shamrock an opportunity
to test her merits in her favorite point o.
sailing over triangular course.

little short of marvellous. She covered
the course in 3 hours and 81 minutes; the
beat ten miles to windward in l hour, 80

spectators to an exhibition of daring as
he climbed out over the peak halyard 50

The war between Great Britain and

to result in giving the commander of

nence that was not thought OF when
Admiral Schley was assigned to that
position. One Of the ships of that
squadron--the Montgomery-has al
ready been ordered to South African
waters to look out for American inter
ests, and it is said at the Navy Depart
ment that the Chicago, which will be
Admiral Schley's flagship, will follow
as soon as she can be got ready to
to make the trip, which will be in
about two weeks. When Schley starts
on that trip he will carry the best

know that he will do SO if the oppor-

Speaking of the proposed removal
of headquarters of the National Com.

Senator Jones said it was a matter
that would be left largely to the judg-
ment OF Vice Chairman Johnson, who
has had charge of the committee
affairs for some months. OF the gen.
eral outlook Senator Jones said; ma
tionly the Democratic party is in the
best of shape, We have the best Of
it on all the issues. We are opposed
to trusts, and we shall pat ourselves
on Iecore of being against them. The
anti.eXpansion sentiment is growing
every day, and the people know that
the Democratic party is consistent in
its opposition TO imperialism. can
only reallirm the position which was
taken before | went away. cannot
see how a man can believe in the
Declaration of independence, and at
the same time clamor for the subju.
cation of a people who are fighting
for freedom. The war in the Philip
pines is wrong in principle and will
prove costly in its prosecution. Silver
will not be overShadowed by the other
issues before the public. 1t is as vital
as ever, and the arguments in its favor
have lost none of their force simply
because there are other questions also
to be considered" Senetor Jones
