THE FIRST EXPERIENCE.
One of the Results of II Close Personal Ac-
sluaintance With the Trust.

The city of Newport News is now
about to have its experience With 4
real live trust. The people have been
indirectly acquainted With the phenom-
enon for some time. They are now to
have personal acquaintance.
Some time ago the Daily Press print
cd an interview With 4 bright travelling
man of wide experience. This gentle
man spoke at some length regarding
the operation of trusts With particular
reference to the cutting down of the
force employed.
This is the first phase of the situation
that the people here will see.
The trust referred to is the Boston
Fruit Company. which recently bought
out the Virginia and West India Fruit
more Fruit Company. So far as the
local company is concerned, it was 4
complete buy-out. ana the trust will
run the local business from baltimore
One ship will come here each week
With fruit. because this is the most
convenient place to come to. and fruit
can be brought here moro cheaply ana
distributed more quickly than else
where: but the sales will be made from
Baltimore and the business will be
transacted at that office. The Office
here will be abolished. The present
force will not he in the employ OF the
trust. 1t is probable indeed. that the
trust will have one man here. a steve
dore whose business it will be to load
and unload the vessels arriving ana de-
parting. That is all.
This is q splendid illustration Of the
economy that can be made possible by
the combination of interests.

Columbia Won the International
Cup Because 1t was the
Eetter Boat.

London, Oct. 21.-The Marquis of Duff
terin and Ava, commodore of the Royal
Ulster Yacht club replying to a request
by the Associated press for an expression
of opinion regarding the contest for the
Americas cup, telegraphed: Il can only
offer my warmest congratulations to the
Yachting world of America on the sue
ress of their ship
The Edinburgh Scotsman, commenting
upon the result, says: No expert expla-
nations or excuses can alter the broad
fact, which impartial aymen will recog-
nize. that the Columbia has proved her
self to be a better boat by winning three
races off the reel. American yacht
builders and yachtsmen are entitled to
full credit for their success.
1.-THE history of the contest seems to
show that however fine boat British
designers may produce, the Americans
ing across the Atlantic and racing in
strange winds and waters evidently con-
stitutes handicap that British yachts
men do not fully appreciate.

lating American yachtsmen and thank
ing them for the courtesy and good tenn
per with which the race was conducted,
says: THE Shamrock had her chance
Yesterday but failed. Fife followed up

which will be turned to good account in

The Glasgow Mail says: 1.-THE Ameri-
cans defended the. cup fairly and square
ly; and Great Britain need not be
ashamed to be called a nation of shop
keepers after the chiyalrous conduct of
Sir Thomas Upton"
The Glasgow Record observes: The
third and final defeat fell very flat after
the announcement of the victory Of Brit
ish arms at Glencoe. The Shamrock
was the best challenger yet sent across
New York, Oct. 21.-After the race
Yesterday Sir Thomas Upton, on board
The Erin, said: 1.-The first race was a
accident. / have no complaint or criti-
cism. Today we had fair wind and
what was supposed to be Shamrock
weather. Columbia won on its merits
and is the better boat.
IF [ can arrange it l expect to send
another challenge. will do that if
can. Everything has been fair, square
London that / knew Mr.. Herreshoff was
the greatest designer, and that it was
simply q question as to whether English
men could do as well. This race shows
that Mr.. Herreshoff is premier.
II have in mind to come again fer the
cup. Certainly. certainly said Sir
Thomas. "But if any one else wishes to
challenge 1 shall step aside. The future
must be considered and a decision can
not be reached for several days"
The Erin and the Shamrock will be
sent back to England without delay, and
will be put out Of commission until Feb
ruary. when the Shamrock may race in
the Mediterranean. The Shamrock will
go to the Erie basin in the morning. Sir

manned on board the Erin last night. He

embarked for the Cape. Three battai-
ions, the First Scots, the Second Cold
streams and the Third Grenadiers, left
The Scots took train at Waterloo station
at Z o'clock this morning. The fact that

gates the people cheered till they were
hOarse.
Along the whole route a lusty ovation
awaited the troops, the spectators includ-

Before many yards were covered ranks
were broken and the women linked their
arms with the soldiers, who were car
ried along in the surging, singing crowd
to the station, where an immense con-
course was awaiting them to give them
tremendous reception.
Friends grasped the, rifles and kits of
the troops and insisted on carrying them.
The men marched to the platform sing

in which the crowd, that was not al

MADE MAJOR-CENERA
British Com m auder at Natal Re.
warded for Disting uished Service.

London, Oct 21.-The war Office has
issued the following announcement:
The Queen has been pleased to approve
Of the promotion of Col. Local Lieut.; Gen:
the Natal field force. to be a Encouragement
supernumerary to the establishment, for
distinguished service in the field.
The list of officers killed and wounded,
strikingly shows that, although the Brit
ish victory was complete, it was bought
at a heavy price. In addition to Sir
William Penn Symons, who is MORALLY
wounded, two coloHels, three captains
and five lieutenants We're killed and a
colonel. three majors, six captains and
ten lieutenants were wounded.
This heavy loss among the officers was
due. as the latest dispatches from the
front show, to their valiant but insen-
safe conduct in sticking to the traditions
Of the British army, and refusing to usa
thescover of which the men availed them
selves during the storming of the Boer
position on the summit of the Kopje
Among the rank and file the hussars
had II wounded, the artillery killed
and wounded, the Leicestershire regi-
ment 1 wounded, the Kings rifles IL
killed and 60 wounded, the Irish fusil-
GERS killed and 80 wounded, the Dub
and the Natal police wounded.
Beers Dem oralized.
The Outlook publishes a dispatch from
Cape Town, dated yesterday, alleging
that the Beers are not likely to make
any further considerable offensive move
ment. The correspondent says: "They
are utterly demoralized, and the men re-
fuse to take risks They are growing to
distrust the aged Joubert. The mixed
mercenaries are proving troublesome The
artillery is badly handled and the admin
istrative department is revealing marked
defects.
Mr.. Schreiner, the Cape premier, is
each day being brought more into line
with the policy of Sir Alfred Miner,
British high commissioner in South Afri-
ca and governor of Cape Colony; and
his resignation is not now desired, as the
premier's present attitude is considered a
safeguard against Dutch disaffection.''
The first news for long time from
Rhodesia comes in telegram from Tuli
dated October Is. The dispatch says:
Maj. Prison from Rhodes Drift, with
fifty Beers, passed Point Drift this morn
ing, shouting that they would make the
British sit up Another body Of Beers
has crossed the river at Bain's Drift
and is marching on MacLoutsie, where
the postmaster declares that he thinks he
can hold the Beers at bay. The garrison
is throwing up Entertainments
This shows that the Beers have thus
far achieved nothing in the direction Of
Rhodesia.
