COLUMBIA WINS THE RACE.
Bad Judgment and Hard Luck Against
the Defender.


Newport, r. l., August 9.--The run
OF the New York Yacht Club cruise from
GARDENERS Bay to this port today,
distance of forty-three miles, was full
OF interesting brushes. While the
yachts ran the last half of the forty
three miles in a constantly Increasing
southwest breeze. the first half of the
day was fiuky. 1t is no disparagement
to Columbia TO say that her defeat OF
the Defender by over twenty-five mimi
ties was due more to bad Judgment and
hard luck of the latter boat, which
left her in a soft spot, than to actual
superiority. Still, the new boat showed
herself very able in broad reach with
d constantly increasing breeze, and it
is not too much to say that she made
an average of fully thirteen knots in the
run along shore from Watch Hin to
Point Judith, so rapidly dropping the
Defender that when she gybed round the
whistling buoy off Point Judith, her
rival was hull down to the westward,
over five miles astern. On the run up
from Point Judith dead before the
wind, Columbia gained minute or two
more so that at the finish the old De-
fender had received the worst beating
in her history. There was moment
during the day when there was not
wind enough to fill the sails while the
last fifteen miles was sailed in Il grand
breeze from the southeast.

o'clock this morning on the Wade Park
Avenue Line, near Cactuc Drive, lone
~ spot adjoining Wade Park.
The car was eastbound and the first
intimation of danger was when it sud
denly rose from the track and a deafen-
ing report was heard. Residents within
radius of a mile and a half were
awakened by the roar and sprang from
their beds to seek the cause.
The car was blown from the track and
badly demolished. The frightened motor
man was hurled from the yestibule and
the conductor from the platform. They
We're uninjured. The one passenger
aboard also escaped unhurt.
During the afternoon Charles III. Bond,

placing explosives on the Consolidated
tracks during the strike last June. The
police declare this arrest important.
BUSINESS MEN MEET.
Cleveland, Ohio, Aug 9-Five hun
dred business men of Cleveland held an
anti-boycott meeting this afternoon in
the Chamber of Commerce rooms, a
fund of $4,000 was started to ferret out
the criminals who are dynamiting cars
and creating discord in the city. In a
few minutes time not less than $1,000
was subscribed, and the rest of the
amount will be fully made up tomorrow.
The meeting was largely attended,
and it was representative one in every
respect Millions of dollars were repre-
scented in the men present. Vigorous
speeches denouncing the boycott, strike
disturbances and disorder were made. A
tary post in Cleveland was unanimously
made. and steps were taken to increase
the police force of the city.
At the strikers picnic held at Scenic
Park today, Mayor S. III. Jones, of
Toledo, was the guest of honor and ora
tor of the day. The mayor said:
I'VE are in an epidemic of labor
troubles. Strikes, lockouts and hGycntts.
affecting widely separated portions of
our country. and as widely diversified
industrial interests disturb tile land; the
condition may be fifty characterized as
one of industrial civil war. The bsy-
colt is cruel and unjust weapon in
many ways. / am not here with plan
for settling the difficulty in Cleveland
alone / am here to propose remedy
not only for street railroad strikes, but
for all kinds of difficulties with labor in
every sort of public utility. The remedy
may be found in absolute municipal
ownership. operation and control. In
short. the fundamental cause of the
trouble in Cleveland today is found in
the fact that few men are granted the
right of ownership in a class of property
that should never under any circnm-
stances become private possession, but
should be property of the whole people.
Mayor Jones held a political confer
ence with strike leaders in the American
house this afternoon, at which he de-
cided to leave the Cleveland end OF his
campaign as an independent candidate
for Governor Of Ohio entirely in the
hands of the street railway strikers.

ious tribe now than in any of the previ-
Gus wars. There is now hardly a point
in the turbulent territory that is not in
direct telegraphic communication with
the War Department, and every move
that rowing bands of Yaquis make is
instantly known to the military autho-
rites and the movement of the troops is
directed accordingly.
