Washington, July 10. - Governor
Roosevelt of New York, who came to
Washington on Saturday for con-
ference with the president, at the lat
ter's invitation, returned to New York
yesterday. The president and his
guest discussed the situation In the
Philippines in all its aspects, not only
taking up the question from military
point of view, but also considering its
diplomatic and legal bearings. The
president evidenced determination to
adhere to his plan Of sending only ex-
perienced and capable officers to the
Pacific islands, without regard to po-
litical influence or personal favor.
Whether he urged Governor Roosevelt
to take the field is not known. The
governor declared, in answer to di-
rect question, that he had not been
offered the war portfolio in the cabi-
net.

SHAMROCK COLUMBIA
Britons Evidently Expect to Cap
turs the Americas Cup.
A SATISFACTORY TRIAL TRIP.

The Real Test OF the Challenger win
Come In wednesday's Race Against
the Britannia Meantime Columbia
Again Defeats Defender.
Southampton, July 10.-Yachting
circles In the 6olent were never more
excited than now over the prospects
in the forthcoming race for the Amer
ica's cup between the Shamrock and
Columbia. Saturday yachtsmen could
be seen In all directions, and In South
ampton. Hythe. Calshot and Cowes the
keenest lookout was kept for the chal-
lenger. which It was known would
stretch her sails. ".s'
Sir Thomas Upton. delighted with
his new treasure. and the brothers
Jameson were on board the Iverna,
John Jameson's cutter. and Mr.. VIII
Fife, the designer Of the Shamrock.
was much in evidence.
In Southampton water the Shamrock
presented q magnificent sight. The
slight breeze was Just enough to ill
her sails, but she glided speedily and
as gracefully az a swan.
II should be understood that Satur-
days trip was in no sense a test OF
speed, although the Iverna and Satinita
accompanied her. 1t was solely for the
purpose OF sail stretching. Very soon
1t became apparent that there was not
q shadow Of foundation for the unfa-
vorable reports regarding her sails.
No doubt 4 few minor alterations will
be found necessary. but the sails were
pronounced generally excellent. The
helm trials were even more satisfac-
tory, II possible. 90 she answered all
demands beautifully and without the
least trouble.
After passing Calshot Castle she was
directed toward Cowes. where she was
eagerly scanned by crowds OF experts
already arrived for the season. A dis
tinguished expert and yachting au-
thority said to correspondent that
the Shamrock was "the finest yacht
ever seen in the Solent."
Starting again, she went along like
a shot out of gun, heaving TOR the
west channel and Yarmouth. Then she
returned toward Southampton. As she
beat up Southampton water, with gaff
topsail, mainsail and foresail, she de-
veloped wonderful speed, although not
after anything definite regarding pace,
finally anchoring off Hythe.
A member of the crew said to an
American newspaper correspondent:
1.-THE Shamrock will do what she ia
built for. and will beat the Yankee.
She sailed admirably, without hitch,
and answered her helm to perfection,
which Is one Of the greatest considera-
tons. We are going to win, but 1t is
impossible yet to Judge of the yachts
full capabilities"
Sir Thomas Upton expressed him
self as satisfied with the spin"
Interest is now centered IN the spins
with the Britannia, which will be ready
on Wednesday for at least four en-
counters. In yachting circles the
opinion is general that the Shamrock
must beat the Britannia at least half
an hour, considering the speed the Co.
lumbia developed in the races with the
Defender.

TEXAS FLOOD LOSSES.


Shtrty.seyenDr Drowned and %, 500. 900
In Property Wiped Out.
Galveston. July 10.-Relief work in
the BRACES flooded district has been
systemized, three relief trains leaving
Houston, Galveston and San Antonio
daily. Probably 10000 negroes are now
being fed and will need to be sustained
for some time by the relief commit
tees. All sorts Of estimates are made
as to the amount Of the cotton loss.
An estimate Of so per cent Is considered
conservative. This would be money
loss Of 100000. The loss sustained
by the destruction Of other crops,
houses, fencing, stock and bridges will
be $2.500,000, while the loss to the
railroads is probably 81, 200, 900, making
. total of sS,500,000.
Owing to the exaggerated reports Cir
culated as to the loss Of life In the re-
cent floods, The News has made
special effort to secure the facts from
each county. Reports received from Is
counties show loss Of 81 lives from
drowning.
Reports from Sealey state that a
white woman and a negro woman died
there yesterday from the heat and ex-
posure. There are 500 negroes at
Sealey at the point Of starvation. Ra-
lions will be sent by the first train. In
tense suffering is said to exist In the
locality Of Hearre.
A special from Angleton, Tex, says:
All the streets Of this town are under
two or three feet of water. Very few
lives have been lost In this vicinity,
but the losses Of live stock and crops
will be heavy. Cattle along the Bas-
trop have been drowned by the thou
sands. The destruction in Oyster
creek valley is absolutely complete.
Negroes cabins have been washed
away by the dozens and the poor
blacks are absolutely penniless, home
less and hungry.

as a proof of his business sagacity
and his faith IN money spent in adj

slow, old-fashoned way OF forcing
his enterprise on the people of the
United States, but he launched out
in a systematic lavlshness OF ex-
pendtures for advertising purposes
which, at that time, was without
precedent or parallel. Whole pages
%! newspapers were secured at
high prices to set forth the merits
OF his story paper, the New York
Ledger. From one end OF the
country to the other, the names of
Bonner and his Ledger were made
familiar to the people. His paper
grew from few hundred III >ircu-

and was read by the masses. He
set the standard for a high al
story paper and employed the best
talent in fiction to be found, and
paid them well for their labors.

New York, July 10-On Saturday the
big sloop yachts Columbia and De-

If Columbia, after measurement, is
found to allow the Defender two min
