The President VT Mt Travel aud
Omaha VIII Not rst 10 See Him.


CHICAGO, October THE special
train bearing President Mckinley and
party rolled into the Rock Island de-
pot at APO p. m. The place was sur
rounded by guard of police and the
crowd which met the Chief Executive
was consequently small. But it was
waiting outside the station, and when
Mr.. Mckinley leaning on the arm Of
Mayor Harrison, emerged from the long
aisle of blaecoats which guarded his
way to the carriage, a cheer went UP.
A squadron of cavalry, a detachment
Of policemen and brass band escorted
the carriages to the Auditorium Annex,
the streets along the route being
packed with spectators. The President
and other members of the party retired
at once to their apartments.
A committee from Omaha met Mr..
Cortelyou, the Presidents private sec
rotary, and, headed by Mayor Moores
and E. Rosewster, urged the residents
itinerary be changed so that the Chief
Executive might extend a welcome to
Nebraskan soldiers returning from the
Philippines. The secretary said he
would do all in his power to arrange the
matter as the committee desired, but
held out little hope of success.
The President, he declared. would not
under any circumstances travel on Sun
day. This assertion was made in an
swer to the mayors suggestion that by
travelling on the Sabbath the visit to
Omaha might be made without affect
ing the arrangements already made.

NEW YORK, October There was
a spa hiking breeze from the north,
northeast and a heavy swell from the
eastward when the yacht Columbia, I'M
der main sail and jib filled away from
a point off the southwest spit at 9:25
to-day. and with sheets eased a trife,
headed for the Sandy Hook lightship at
a twelve knot clip.
Besides Managing Owner Iselin and
Mrs. Iselin, there were on board Her
bert Leeds, Captain Nat Heereshoff,
who, when the yacht passed the Asso-
ciated Press boat John Nichols, was
lying on the weather side of the deck
watching the sails through a pair OF
green goggles; Captain Woodbury.
Kane. Newbury T'horne and Hugh
KzltT, the last named representing the
Royal Ulster Yacht Club. Captain
Barr held the wheel to windward, one
of the crew assisting on the lee SHE.
The rest OF the crew were distributed
along the weather rail. The Columbia
was carrying the same main sail as on
Thursday.
The Shamrock made an early start
from Sandy Hook Bay. She passed out
by the point of the Hook at 9:05, carry
Ing the same sail as Columbia, arriving
of the lightship at few minutes be-
fore 10 O'Clock. On her deck were seen
Henry F. Idppitt the New York Clubs
representative; Saiimaker Ratzy, Hugh
MeGilldowney, Sharman Crawford ana
Captains Ben Parker, Hogarth and
Wringe. AT 1920 Columbia sent up
her working top sail in stops, the wind
being strong enough at that time to
warrant the setting of that sail, but
even while they were hosting it the
wind lightened considerably. and fifteen
minutes later the No. club top saii
was bent on. The Shamrock also bent
on No. 2 club top sail, and both yachts
set these sails at almost the same time.
AT 1880 the tug which was to drop
the outer mark started to log OF the
course of fifteen miles to leeward. Four
minutes later down came the Sham
rocks club top sail, and in Just nine
minutes
HER BIGGEST JACK YARDER
was mast-headed and sheeted out. The
Columbia kept her No. 2 top sail on,
Captain Barr probably hoping that it
would be more desirable sail in the
windward work, and that it would not
make sufficient difference in the work
down the wind
AT 1l:05 the preparatory signal was
given. at Ills the warning signal. and
at 1920 the gun to start When the
warning signal was given both yachts

TURNING THE STAKE BOAT.

two yachts on the same tack may be
gathered from the fact that from AIS to
4:31, when the race was declared off, the
shadow of the Shamrocks club top sail
remained in almost one spot on the lee side
of Columbia's main sail.
If to-days race had been continued to
the finish, some five miles away, it would
have been exceedingly hard to predict the
winner. Throughout the race the handling
of both boats was excellent, but the bal
ance was in favor of the Shamrock's skip
per and crew.
In view of the closeness of the yachts
when the race was called off it is fair to
suppose that if the finish had been there
the Columbia would have crossed it ten
seconds in advance of the Shamrock. In
that case the summary Of the race for 25
mile swould have been as follows:
Start-Columbia n:21:02; Shamrock
11:21:19.
Finish-columbia, 4:sl,O; Shamrock,
4:31:1O
Elapsed time-Columbia, 5:O9:5S: Sham
rock 509:51.
Corrected time-Columbia, 5:0s:5S; Sham
rock, 5:09:46.
Accordingto this Shamrock would have
won by seven seconds actual time and by
twelve seconds corrected time, supposing,
Of course, that the Columbia allowed her
five seconds for . miles, instead of six sec
onds allowed for thirty miles
AS a result of to-day's struggle and those
of Tuesday and Thursday, the talent are
a good deal COMPOUNDED. Some of them
differ as to the merits of the two boats,
but they seem unanimous upon two things
that the Shamrock is the ablest boat
that ever crossed the western ocean to
lift the mug, and what is still more i'm
portant, that she is more ably handled
than the defender

Special to the Register.
SISTERSvILLE ". Va, October L.
One of the most disastrous fires ex-
perienced in this part of the country
for long time occurred this evening,
when Fly postoffice, generally known
as Stringtown, was burned to the
ground. There were about ten houses
in the town. The fire started from a
gas jet in a store. There is high
pressure gas line in the town, and
when the merchant left the store in
too high. Later the gas came on
strong and the gas ignited the paper on
the ceiling. The fire department from
this city was notified, but before il
could get there the entire town was in
flames and nothing could be done ex-
cept save a couple of buildings on the
outskirts of the town. The buildings
burned were two stores, the loss on
which will be fully FIVE thousand. two
dwelling houses at about six thousand,
one Gil tank house and tank with lot
OF oil at two thousand, one boiler
house at seven hundred, two livery
stables, the loss On which will not run
less than fifteen TO twenty thousand.
A large crowd OF people from this city
went across the river and did all they
could TO assist the residents Of the little
town. but they were TOO late There
are four or five families LEFT homeless
tonight who are In great need. The
most OF the people burned out are in
fair circumstances but who could not
afford to lose their homes.

A Joke on De Quincy.

The late Sir John Steel, the sculp-
tor, used to tell with great enjoyment
:he story OF a trick played upon De
Quincy by Christopher North" Will
son was often greatly taken up by
things that did not seem to others OF
very great moment, and on one occa-
sion, while at E.leray. he was entirely
engrossed and absorbed In the arrans-
Ing Of a new meat safe, which was hung
up on pulleys from a tree in the gar
den. One morning he persuaded De
Quincy, who happened to be visiting
Elleray at the time, to come out with
him. and began as usual to expatiate
on the merits OF his invention, while
De Quincy profoundly buried in some
thing doubtless more intellectual, did
not appear even to hear that the pro-
fessor was speaking. When they got
to the meat safe, Wilson, unable to
make him listen to his explanations,
opened the door, and giving the absent
minded philosopher a push (he was
very small mani, sent him into 1t
bodily and turned the key; then, pull
ing the ropes, he swung De Quincy
high up among the branches like bird
in a cage. greatly to his wrath and the
professors delight.
