CAPTAIN PARKER AT THE HELM
Kaiser's Clever Mariner Took the
Shamrock Out on Tuesday

Shamrock Out on Tuesday
New York, Oct. 1.-THE World says:
Captain Ben Parker, the German en-
perors skipper, who has been spoken of
in the capacity Of an additional captain
on the Shamrock, was greatly in evidence
on the Irish cup-hunter on Wednesday.
His advice to Captain Wringe, who held
the tiller of the yacht nearly all day
Tuesday, assisted materially in keeping
the challenger well up with the Columbia.
To Captain Parker belongs no small need
Of the success that fell TO the visitors in
the first trial Of the series Of races OF
1899. Captain Parker arrived on the liner
New York, but owing TO the fact that he
sailed under an assumed name, the IN
known Captain Jones OF Southampton,
managed to arrive IN port and get safely
aboard the Shamrock without being in
terviewed During a conversation on
board the Erin one Of the officers Of the
yacht said that Captain Hogarth did not
touch the tiller of the Shamrock during
the race.
What did he do, thenT was asked.
why, he just attended to the sails.
and did tt well, too. II was Bob
wringe, as clever a man as ever stepped
aboard a cutter. that managed 20 get
away with the start, and right nicely he
accomplished 1t, too. After that Bob
gave up the stick to Captain Ben and
he took the boat all the way over the
course"

DEWEY FOR AME RICAN CONTROL
With Undisputed Sovereignty, Let
Much Home Rule Prevail.

New York, Oct ga special to the Her
aid from Washington says: I'm his in
terview with the president, Admiral
Dewey agreed fully with the views which
have been expressed by President Schur-
man concerning the future government Of
the Philippine islands. He said he favored
American control through the medium of
commission or a civil governor, but
great latitude should be allowed for local
government of the sixty or more tribes,
so that the administration Of affairs could
be adjusted to meet their different habits
and conditions. President Schurman, VINO
was in the city and had a conference with
Secretary Hay, said in an interview that
the commission would hold its first ses-
sion in this city early in November. The
adoption of Admiral Dewey's recommen-
dation as to increasing the squadron gives
some token of the strictness Of the block
ade which it is intended to enforce. Re-
ports received from Read Admiral Wat
son since Admiral Dewey's departure from
Manila show that rice and hemp have
appreciated in value 300 per cent, and that
in return for exports of these products
munitions of war are being received by
the insurgents. The facts as to the long
coast line of Luzon and the casa with
which goods may be landed in one island
and transported to another, have been
fully explained TO officials, and this has
made the president the more ready to
follow the admirars advice. 1t is appar-
emily not intended to proclaim a formal
blockade. but rather TO enforce a local
blockade, which viii prevent II from as

SURPRISE IS No NANE
For the 0kIahaman'S Emotion

THAT EASTMAN OF KANSAS
Has the Enid ReceiVerShip--
The Supervisorship Matter.

Guthrie. o. T, Oct. 5.-The reported ap-
pointment of D. W. Eastman, of EN-
poria, Kansas, to the vacant receivership
of the Enid land office, fell upon the local
politicians with a dull, sickening thud.
Recognizing the exigency of the campaign
in Ohio the appointment of an outsider
from that state might possibly have been
looked upon with degree of complais-
ance affected or otherwise and num-
Der Of the local political experts predict
ed such a result But the aiopptnm4
ed such a result, but the appointment of
a Kansas man is looked upon as the rank
est kind Of carpet-baggism and, as Colonel
Ravens thoughtfully remarked, when he
had recovered somewhat from the effects
Of the shock, 1.-THE only thing to prevent
such calamities in the future is state
htood" Another view is expressed by a
well known politician, who said philo-
sophically: "It is simply the legitimate
and logical result, when there isn't
reputation left in the territory" East
mans appointment is regarded here as
saIve to his disappointment over the CEN
sus supervisorship of Kansas, for which
he was first recommended, his name being
subsequently withdrawn.
Another report was current on the
streets that Conkling had been named as
census supervisor of Oklahoma instead Of
Outcelt who had been recommended for
the place by Governor Barnes and Dele
sac Flynn, but there is no authentic con-
frmati9n o. this latter report. Conkling

KEEPING THE COURSE CLEAR
Uncle Sam is a Bigger Man Than the
Excursion skipper.

New York Get. 1.-The efforts OF Cap
tai Evans ami Lieutenant Commander
Fremont to keep the course clear With
government critters and torpe 10 beats
were again successful today. Tho same
system which proved 20 Satisfactory on
Tuesday was in force today and the re-
suits were quite as. satisfactory. The
course, when once signalled the com
mittee boat, was Immediately cleared and
each boat had a fair field down the line
and all the space necessary for maneuv-
ering. Directly after the start the two
patrol fleets formd in line, the cutters on
the left and the torpedo boats on the
right, and everything was kept in place.
There was the same good-natured obedi-
ence to all instructions, and no captain
needed a second warning. When signalled
to move out, the entire fleet at once
obeyed, and no naval squadron could
have made a better maneuver. Captain
Evans was obliged, however, to fire a
gun of warning about o'clock on the left
of the line when an ambitious captain
showed signs of trespassIng. This was
the only incident of the patrol service
today that was out of the ordinary run.
It is now well established fact that this
naval police system can keep fair
course for both racers. and no excursion
boat. yecht or tug ever pretends to put
her nose inside the established lines. the
system is an eye-opener to the visiting
yachtsmen from abroad and receives the
highest commentator on all sides. The
idea of the national government recog-
mixing the sport lends an additional i'm
portance to the race and is a very pleas
ing feature to all yachtsmen.

Guthrie, o. T., Oct. 5.--Mr. Z. V. Small

TO BE SENT TO MANILA

Washington, Oct. 5.-The navy depart
ment was busily engaged today in ar
ranging to reinforce the feet in the Phil
| ippines, as suggested yesterday by Ad-
miral Dewey in the course of his confer
ence with the president. In going over
the field of available ships it was found
that the plan conceived last evening of
sending the Marietta and the Machias
with the Brooklyn would have to be
modified SO as to drop the two gunboats.
BY noon thedepartment had completed
its program and was in position to send
sailing orders to the ships chosen TO go
to Manila. The New Orleans was tele-
graphed to proceed at once to the New
York navy yard to have some changes
made in the galley apparatus. This
change can be made in six days, when
the ship will start on her voyage. The
Brooklyn will be turned back from
Hompton Roads as soon as she comes
within hailing distance and sent to New
York, whence she sailed this morning be-
fore the department could reach her with
orders. She will be ready to sail by the
end of next week. A cablegram was sent
to the Nashville at San Domingo to pro-
coed at once to Manila via Suez and she
is expected to get off within twenty-four
hours. Orders were also telegraphed to
the Badger at Mare Island TO proceed to
the Philippines as soon as possible. No
orders have as yet been sent to the Ban
croft at Boston.
1t was suggested at the navy depart !
ment that three of the four vessels now
uunder orders for Manila will pass |
through the Suez canal, and so will be
available to divert to South Africa |
should matters there take shape requiring |
the presence of a United States naval /
force.

HAS WASHINGTON TO HIMSELF
Dewey Is Taking an Interest i'm That
Fine New House of His.

Washington, Oct. 5.-The absence of
the president from Washington and the
conclusion of the official festivities left
Admiral Dewey practically to himself for
the day. He started out early for a MORN
ing constitutional and took quite a walk
through the northwest SECTION of he city,
d.Clping in for short time at the Metro
politan clUs, and returned to the Mclean
residence J6r luncheon.
Among the few who saw the admiral
today were seven marine officers from

noon. They were Immediately presented
to the admiral. 1t was only brief, for
NAL call. This evening, after "a late sup
per, the admiral left the house and walked
briskly alone up Connecticut avenue to
call on old friends. Admiral Dewey has
expressed himself as benefited by the re-
laxati today's rest afforded him, after
the constant activity of the past week,
next week he will have recovered from
the fatigue incident to the high nervous
pressure he has been under. He has no
special plans for the remainder of the
week. save that tomorrow he will confer
with the Dewey home fund committee at
the navy department.
In this connection 1t is understood that
an offer of we'll known Vermont firm
to present him the marble for new house

Treasurer Roberts today received an offer
from U. s. ]. Dunbar, well known
sculptor. Of bronze portrait
bust of Admiral Dewey, to be placed in
the new Dewey residence. He also re-
ceived a cash contribution OF $3.50 from R
