How to Ruin Machinery.

What is the meaning of all these

reason? No, not much. They have
been left to stand where last used, and

this to do and expect to keep the bal

OF the president sat Archbishop ireland.
The others at the table were Secretary
Cage, Attorney General Griggs, Post
master Smith, Secretary Hay, and
other members OF the presidents party
and officers of the Marquette club.
President Wickerman introduced
Archbishop Ireland. who rose to speak
of 'the American republic" The arch
bishop was given an ovation as he rose
and his speech was an eloquent tribute
to American manhood and to the re-
public, which he declared to be "the

FREIGHT RATES INCREASING.
Due, 1t is Said, to the Chartering Of
Steamers by the British Cow
ernment.

NEW YORK. Oct. THE predicted
increase in freight rates owing to the
chartering Of so many transatlantic
liners and tramp steamships by the
British government has, it is said, al
ready begun to manifest itself.
Ocean freight agents say that there
is a general upward tendency in rates
and that the offerings Of freight for
shipment are becoming comparatively
small, as shippers are waiting for the
outcome Of affairs. One item cited as
showing an advance in rates is flour,
the tonnage rates to South Africa in
creaslng ) shillings today.
Reports Of further chartering Of
steamers by the British government
continue.

Great Britain is not likely to make
formal declaration OF war against what
she considers dependent nation, the
process being a mere issue OF orders
to the military forces to restore a state

lnally existed. Were England similarly
at loggerheads with power recognized
by her as her equal, pride and preee-
dent would some time ago have compel

tions. It is this legend Of suzerainty
that enables her to palaver without loss

The pith Of the whole dispute, how
ever, is daily becoming clearer. The
Beers are thoroughly convinced that
their freedom is menanced and England

she Is more ably handled than the
defender.
The superior seamanship OF captain
Hogarth and bis crew was demon
stiated at several critical points in the
race today. Though TO Captain Barr
and the nervy owner OF the Yankee
sloop belong the credit OF executing as
brilliant snd daring a piece OF sea-
n'anship as was ever witnessed IN yacht
races, It's recklessness caused a great
deal Of nervousness and anxiety: its
accomplishment therefore. made the
pulse OF tie Americans beat higher
with pride.
II was a spectacular feature Of the
day and fortune favored the brave.
The Irish boat did undenlably better
work to windward. She carved her
way up into the wind in astonishing
style. but there again the Columbia
seemed able to more than make up in
footing what she lost in pointing, and

possible that the white yacht could
