ARRIVAL OF THE SHAMROCK
Challenger for Americas Cup Reaches New
York Today.
The Yacht Made Quick and Safe
Trip Across the At
Iantic.

NEW YORK, August 1S.-Sir Thomas
Liptons yacht Shamrock, challenger for
the Americas cup, reached this port today.
accompanied by her tender. the steam
yacht Erin. The Shamrock sailed from
Fairlie, on the Clyde, August ;. and made
the transatlantic voyage in much quicker
time than was anticipated.
The Erin towed the Shamrock about 1000
miles, and the latter sailed something more
than 200 miles. Her best days run under
canvas was 26s knots. Most of the towing
was done after passing the Azores, Au-
gust ..
AT quarantine the yachts were promptly
cleared.
The Shamrock was yawl rugged and
painted light green. She carried the blue
ensign of the British navy, with Sir Thos.
Lipton's private signal, green shamrock
in yellow ground with a green border. The
Shamrock shows a light slvery metal
where the paint has been scraped from her
sides. The crew of the yacht are well sat
iSfed with the behavior of the challenger.
On board the Erin was Chevalier MARITIME,
marine painter to the queen.
After the yachts had anchored in the up
per bay Captain Archie Hogarth of the
Shamrock said:
am more than satisfied with her. In fact,
l am delighted. because my most sanguine
anticipatons have been more than real
lied. But l will say this. that gieeful as l
with the behavior of the boat, l was
more than surprised with the generous re-
ception which she got from the time that
we were abreast of Sandy Hook
DR.. Mackay of Edinburgh, who was
aboard the Erin, acted spokesman for
Capt. Matthews. who was busily engaged
looking after the routine work on the Erin.
The doctor expressed himself as being de-
lighted with the trip over, and said that
not an accident of any moment occurred
during the entire trip. He said that both
boats. with the Shamrock in the lead. left
Fairlie at 5:47 pm. August 3. Favorable
winds prevailed. and the Shamrock went
past the Isle of Man with all sails set
Up to Tuesday. the Sth. moderate seas
prevailed, but then heavy weather set in.
accompanied by a fog. in which the Erin
lost sight of the Shamrock. Heavy seas
swept over the decks of the Erin, and the
Shamrock was equally deluged On the
morning of the 9th the Erin picked up the
Shamrock and Captain Matthews figured
that they We're then 225 miles from Corvo,
in the Azores.
Pleasant weather was experienced that
evening and during the night.

Thu United States is purposeiy delaying
the settlement of the Alaska dispute on ac-
count of the pecuniary benefit accruing to

NO settlement ever could be reached

gcsted by the United States.
1--WE have reached an impasse, and have
no intention of resuming negotiations in

WILL INTIMIDATE DENMARK.


Consul General Mason at Berlin reports
to the State Department on Germany's
latest restrictive measure against the Unit
ed States 1t DEGREES that fresh meat shall
not be imported from Belgium to Germany,
but Mr. Mason says it was at once evident
that this decree in reality aimed at Aneri-
can beef, was occasioned by Belgiums re-
cent removal of the restrictions on Ameri-
can cattle. The consul general says the
decree is the logical furtherance and full
fliment of a policy upon which the German
government entered in 1894 He states that
the contention that Texas fever was a
bacterial disease, and therefore susceptible
of transmission by means of slaughtered
meat, has now been disproved. and that
Professor Koch. the eminent German bac-
tcriologist, has confirmed the view taken
by the United States Agricultural Depart
ment this point
AS to the latest decree Mr.. Mason says it
will do American interests most injury in
Denmark, which country was about to
admit American cattle. but hesitated from
fear that Germany would shut out Den
marks fresh meats.
