Shamrock Nearly Ready for Her Voyage
Homo.

The Shamrock is almost ready for her voyage
home. The cruising rig has been put on. the
racing spars and sails have been packed up
ready for shipment. and now a few more braces
have to be put in to strengthen the boat and
then the stores put on board. The Shamrock
will probably be towed to Tompknsvile on
Monday and will sail on Tuesday accompa-
MED by the Erin. Sir Thomas Upton will leave
for home on Wednesday on the St. Paul He
expects to return to this country In February
and will then know whether no oan arrange
for race In 1901.
1t is still doubtful II the Column ia will GO
abroad. The 9Th rule Is in force there. and tho
great draught would have to give big time
allowance to the Meteor and the new yacht
being butt Tor {. d. Rose. While there Is no
doubt that the Colum biR would sail faster than
these boats 1t Is a question whether she
could give the tme allowance demanded under

Then Related a Thrilling Tale Of
Its Rescue.
Finally Admitted It
Was All a Lie.
A Boston Architect Having Fun
With Police.

Boston, August 2O.-J. Franklin
Thomas, an architect, living at 81 Dele
avenue Roxbury, for some peculiar Iea-
son, reported to the police today that his
ten months old boy had beer kidnapped
A general alarm was sent out and for
ten hours every effort was made to locate
the child. Lato tonight the father noti-
fed the police that he had snatched the
child from the arms Of the kidnappers,
but when closely questioned, admitted
that the whole story was a lie. He gave
no excuse for his action In spiriting
away his own child but IL is believed that
there were domestic complications.
The story told by MIR. Thomas to ths
police was extremely ingenious and his
grfef, apparently sincere. was 80 marked
that they Thought they had another Mar
lon Clark case on their hands. In the
story told by Mr.. Thomas a note which
he CLAIMED was left by the kidnappers In
the baby's carriage figured quite promi-
nently but as 1t happened it was this very
note which proved his duplioity. About
nine o'clock tonight he notified the police
that the child had been found ard at the
same time wrote a letter to one of the
local papers, asking that the story of the
kidnapping be suppressed. claiming that
1t would be q shock to his mother-in-
Law. The two letters were compared,
and the writing found to be Identical.
aad his confession followed. If MIR.
Thomas desired to create a sensation he
certainly succeeded for his story was be-
Hevod absolutely By the police. Mr..
Thomas told the officers that he left the
child yesterday afternoon in Its carriage
in the parlor of his house. He went out
for twenty minutes and when he came
back the child was gone, while in the
carriage was he following note:
~ have got your boy and am going to
keep him, whatever you do. am 40

boy will be happy and have an education,
for am a wealthy woman. have never
had any children and you can have an
other, so be reasonable and keep quiet as
the boy may suffer and you will be
sorry"
He gave no excuse today for waiting
nearly twenty y-four hours before calling
for assistance to tnd the child, but in
stead told long story about mysteri-
GUS woman, who frequently admired the
child whiIe its mother was pushing it
about In its carriage in the parkway. He
gave the police to understand that the

DEWEY'S SOLUTION.

Chance to Govern Themselves.

London, August 2l.-The Naples cores
pondent of the Daily News telegraphs the
substance OF an interview he had with
Admiral Dewey there during the Admir-
ais recent visit. Admiral Dewey said he
believed the Philippine question oouId
shortly be solved. In his Judgment, the
Inhabitants were capable of self govern
ment and the only way to settle the In
surrsctiou and to insure prosperity was
to concede it to them. He declared that he
was never in favor of violence toward the
Ftiipinos and remarked that, after
autonomy had been conceded, annexatio n
might be talked of.
When asked whether conflict between
Germany aud the Unitsd States over the
Philippines were possible. Admiral
Dewey replied, according to the cores

Found guilty.


Rennes August 90. --Gensral Mercier,
who was minister Of war when Captain
Dreyfus was condemned and who, In the
present trial is the virtual prosecutor,
was oalled upon this afternoon by the
correspondent Of the A ssociated Press,
who Invited him TO make q statement OF
the position of the -Dreyfusards.
Although unable to receive ths corrss-
pondent in person, General Meroier sent
his eldest son to convey the following
expression Of his views;
General Mercier considers 1t useless to
attempt to controvert foreign opinion
regarding the Dreyfus question in which
moreover foreigners have no right to in
tervene.
Foreign people have been misled
by their press, which Ia violently Drey-
fnsard for the very good reason that
majority OF the foreign newspapers nave
General Mercler considers anything he
might say explaining his position which
is that OF a majority of the French pso-
pie, would be useless The best reply TO
the Dreyfusard statements abroad will be
the condemnation OF Dreyfus.
"This condemnation is only a matter Of
tsn days or a fortnight, for Condemned
Drsyfus Will certainly be. Foreigners
will then see that their journals have de-
ceived them SO far and will recognize
that the mass of the French nation
who will receive the nsws of the convIc-
tion OF Drsyfus as joyful tidings-is not
composed of fools and that, If the major
ity Of the French applaud the coudemna-
tion, ID will be because 1t is just and
meritad''
The Associated Press correspondent
then called upon Maitre Labori, who lives
within 200 yards of Gen. Mercier, the
houses of both being guarded by gen
fd'armes and detectives who sit in chairs
in the roadway in front of the houses.
Mnitre Labori was taking the air in
the garden. He has been sufferin
severely from insomnia, and today was
feyerish and excitsd. The wound itself
has not made the progress the doctors
hoped for although there has been no
relapse. In view of his general condition
his medical advisers oppose his going to
court tomorrow as he had desired They
predict that sxertion would SO overtax
his strength as TO compel him TO take to
his bed. which he probably would not
leave, in that event, for u m onth.
Tuesday or Wednesday. therefore, will
more probably see his temperance in
court. He will be provided with spec
tally constructed chair that will enable
him to conduct the cross-examination at
the outset without rising from his seat.
Maitrs Labori is intensely anxious TO
return to court, even II he has to be car
ried there in an ambulance. He is dis
satisfied with Maitrs DeLiange's conduct
OF the case thus far. and, on his return
he intends to have General MeFcier and
the other generals back upon the witness
stand. After reading their evidence he Is
confident of his ability 60 crush Mercier
and ne expects to use the Schneider and
Panizzardi kilograms also to confound
Mercier.
