GREAT LIGHT WEATHER BOAT
COZ UMBIA AGAIN SHOWS HER SU-
PERIORTTY OYER DEFENDER.
Minutes and Seven Seconds Over u
Thirty-eight Mile COurse-COlumbiu
Made Great Gains on Every Leg-Sailed
Splendid Race-yVtns the AstOr Cup.

Newport, Aug. 14-The new cup de-
fender Columbia added another victory
to her already splendid record to-day
by defeating the Defender, champion of
1896, thirteen minutes seven seconds
over a thirty-eight-m course, and the
slippery little Amorita defeated the COL
onia, Quisetta and Ariel in the schooner
class, finishing twelve seconds ahead of
the Colonia, which was the second boat,
and winning the race by one minute
fourteen seconds, corrected time. These
races, which brought together the fast
est sloops and schooners on this side of
the water, at least, We're given in con-
junction with the cruise of the New
York Yacht club and nearly all the
steam and sailing vessels which COM
prise the squadron taking part in the
cruise We're outside of Brentons Reef
lightship to witness the sport. The
prizes were two magnificent cups, val
ued at $500 and 81 900 each, for the sloop
and schooner classes, respectively,
which We're offered by Colonel John ia
cob Astor.
The Columbia sailed a splendid race,
and showed that in light air she is many
minutes faster than the boat that de-
feated Valkyrie III. in 1895. On every
leg of the course she made great gains
over the Defender and this was more
noticeable on the first leg, which was a
spinnaker run of thirteen and one-half
miles. On the second leg, which prom
ised to be at the outset dead beat to
Of eighteen miles, the Colum-
bia showed again that she could both
outfoot and outpoint the older boat On
the run home the Defender tried to car
ry spinnaker but when Captain
Rhodes found that in order to keep it
full he would have to head away off the
course he dropped it below decks in a
hurry. The Columbia ON rounding the
weather mark set her big balloon jb
and it pulled splendidly, but in addition
to this Captain Barr set balloon stay
sail, which helped wonderfully.

fact that the band stand has not been
lighted for band concerts this season
and that the stand has only been light

made and that was on the occasion Of
the Fourth of July fireworks display.
He wanted to know what the $11326

NOW BUT 4 TROPICAL STORM.
West Indian Hurricane Losing Its
Force-Comtng Up Const.

Washington, Aug. 4.-The West In
dian hurricane has modified in inten-
sity and is now designated as tropi-
cal storm. 1t appears to be moving UP
the Atlantic coast and the weather bu
reau has directed that storm signals be
extended northward to Atlantic City,
where by tomorrow morning the wind
may reach thirty miles an hour. To-
day at Savannah it blew forty-four
miles and at Charleston forty miles,
while in Florida, over which the dis
turbance is slowly passing, the wind
ranged below fifteen miles. The storm
is central tonight near the Georgia
coast and may at any time pass out to
sea, but the officials of the weather bu-
,reau think it will continue up the coast,
going perhaps to New York and be-
yond.

a SLIGHT I4MPROYEMENT NOTED
DURING List NIGHT.
The Attempted Assassination the Result
of IA Plot-The General situation In
France Very Sertous-Some of the
Paris Papers Predict n Civil War
Significance of the Recent Arrests.

Rennes, Aug. IA, II p. m.-The follow
ing bulletin regarding the condition or
Maitre Labori, counsel for Dreyfus,
who was shot from ambush this morn
ing was issued at 10 o'clock tonight:
Temperature 3705 No fever. Condi-
ton stationary There has been, there
fore. a slight improvement during the
last few hours. M Laboris mother ar
rived here this evening. She had be-
lieved him dead and a most affecting
interview ensued. Later M. Labori re-
ceived NJ Matthieu Dreyfus, brother of
Captain Dreyfus. There is some talk OF
M. Albert Clemenceau the younger of
the two brothers. coming as substi-
tute for Labori. The question, however,
will be definitely decided tomorrow. M.
Clemenecau was one of Zola's counsel
at his trial and has followed the Drey-
fus affair very closely. While he lacks
the magnetic influence of Labor in
pleading, he is extremely skilful in
cross examination.
The attempt made upon the life of
M Labori was evidently the re-
suit of plot. A letter was sent
to the commissary of police this morn
ing, warning him that it was intended
to make an attempt upon the life of
General Mercier. Consequently, the po-
lice and detectives surrounded the gen
eral and left the other principals in the
drama unprotected
There were several reports to-day
that the assailants of M. Labori had
been captured but they proved un-
founded. Detachments of troops and
gendarmes were beating the woods and
securing the country all day long. A
great number of people saw the mur-
derer fleeing, but he was either too far
distant from them or else he succeeded
in cowing them by threats to use his
revolver. A gardner named Deahaye
got near enough to the man to clutch
him by the shoulder, but the fugitive
shook himself free and turning to his
pursuer, exclaimed: "Be gone or l will
kill you. I still have five shots left in
my revolver and they will be for you.
Delehaye being quite unarmed, recoiled
and allowed the man to escape.

Newport, Aug. 14.-Major General
Nelson A Miles, commanding the army,
arrived here this afternoon on the steam
yacht Tide as the guest of Colgate Hoyt.
Later, in the day he paid an informal
visit to Fort Adams. Here he was re-
ceived with a salute of fifteen guns and
in company with the commandant in
spected the new batteries. Despite the
receipt of many invitations to dine with
the various yacht owners, General Miles
remained quietly on board the Tide dur
ing the evening.

Copyright, 1899, by the Associated Press.)
Rennes, Aug. 14.-The drama at
Rennes grows tragical. The long be-
Gained Rennes is being stirred into a
more violent passion than Paris. This
morning at o'clock a well-nigh sue
cessful attempt was made to shoot M.
Labori, who defended Zola last year
and who came here to defend M. Drey-
fus with Maitre Demange. The would
be assa ssin was evidently a crank and
looked like a workman. His weapon
was a revolver, the theater of the crime
the Quay Pichemont. 1t was while La
bori was going to the court with Colo
mel Picuuart and his cousi, NJ Cast.
When Nine Labori came up she was
sent to get a doctor, but not knowing
the town she lost good deal of time.
At last she thought of going to the
court and asking there for military
surgeon. Drs. Vidal and Reclus were
at hand and at once accompanied her.
They had the presence of mind to SEND
pendarnnes to the barracks for an am
bulance. with a stretcher' and bearers
with deep thankfulness they found
that NJ. I.abori could move his hmps at
will The spine, therefore, was not IN
iured. The ball had entered at the sixth
yertebra, behind the thorax. 1t might

or have penetrated deeper in the lungs.
However, the thing was to bear the

IRoTTING AT PORTLAND, NE.
Lucrativa Takes the 2;20 state ExeI's
Brother The 2:2I Trot.

Portland, Me, Aug. 14--The opening
day at Rigby was full of interest, al
though the programme did not seem to
offer anything especially select, as there
were but two events on the card and
both of them slow classes. The features
of the opening day were the suspension
of driver and the marking of two
green trotters. The attendance was
fair and the weather conditions and
track were of the best. The 2:20 stake
race was cleared from the card in short
order. The Hartford mare Lucrativa
was rated as the best thing in the field
of seven starters and fully justified the
estimate. In the 2:21 trot Exel's Broth
er took the first two heats, being forced
to a mark of 2:17A in the opening heat
and 2:16A in the next. The judges did
not like the appearance of things and
the drivers We're changed. The result of
the shift of drivers was that Emma D.
reeled off three straight heats and won
the race with ease. The judges sus-
pended Driver Jordan for a year. Sum-
mary:

RAILR0AD LABOR QUESTIONS.
Important Meeting of Railway EN-
pIoyes, FEEDER ated Board In Roston.

Boston, Aug. 14.-The Federated
Board of the Federation of American
Railway Employees, who are here to dis
cuss labor questions, especially those
involving the employees of the Boston
and Maine railroad, held a secret ses-
sion at the United States hotel this
morning. The members present were
Chairman Clark of the Order of Rail
way Conductors, Acting Vice Chairman
Fitzpatrick of the Brotherhood of Rail-
way Trainmen, Secretary W. f. Powell
Of the Order of Railway Telegraphers,
and Grandmaster F. P. Sargent of the
Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen.
The board continued in secret session
all day, and in addition to the case of
the Boston and Maine employees, the
grievances Of the telegraph operators
employed by the New York. New Haven
and Hartford railroad were also consid-
cred.
The outcome of their deliberations is
only matter of conjecture at present,
as none of the members of the board
would say anything tonight, either as
to what matter had been presented to
the meeting or what they had deter
mined to do. Manager Chamberlain of
the New York, New Haven and Hart
ford railroad said to-day that he was
ready at all times to receive a commit
tee of his employees, providing they have
first presented their grievances to the
officers directing their labors and failed
to obtain recognition or redress but he
did not consider it judicious to treat
with the representatives of the union.
1t is still hoped by the employees that
their representatives may be given
hearing by the railroad managers. The
latter's refusal thus far is strongly re-
sented and conversation tonight with
the men shows a determination to obey
any order that the federated board may
issue

Washington, Aug. 14-Naval Con-
structor Richmond Pearson Hobson
was heard from by the navy department
to-day for the first time at any length
since he was assigned to duty in charge
of the Spanish ships raised from Manila
harbor and now undergoing repairs at
Hong Kong. His report is unusually
interesting, dealing in general ques-
tions, such as the need Of a large dock
yard in the Orient, the increasing ship
ping at Manila and the prospect that
Manila will succeed Hong Kong as the
emporium of the east, the value of Chi
nese labor in all branches Of industry,
etc He also says the three Spanish
ships which are completed will be worth
to the government about 100000 and he
contemplates trying to raise three more
Spanish vessels now at the bottom of

Il RURAL TRAGEDY.
Man Kills His wife and Her Mother In
East MiddIebury, W.

Middlebury, VT, Aug. 14.-This eve
ming man named Eastwood hired a
team here and went to East Middlebury,
a short distance from here, to the resi-
dence of his wife, who lived with her
mother there and shot his wife and her
mother, killing both. He then rapidly
drove back to this town, went to the
residence of Frank Fem, driver of a
team for Marshall & Co., and deliber-
ately shot him through the heart. He
next fired at the murdered mans wife.
but did not kill her the bullet grazing
her head He then went to the residence
of e. D.. Brown, brother OF his wife,
and tried to find Mr.. Brown, evidently
with the intention of shooting him.
Eastwood has not been seen or heard
from since A watch is being kept
around here for him.
An officer boarded the sleeper here to-
night going south but did not see any,
one he suspected until a few minutes
before the train arrived at Brandon.
This man was outside the door of one
of the vestibule cars when Conductor
Amblo saw him and shouted to him to
come inside The man began to cry and
the conductor tried to drag him on, but
he refused to come. Mr.. Amblo then
called the officer who threatened to
shoot the man if he did not come in.
Just as the train was slowing uD at
Brandon the conductor made another
effort to drag the man in and in the
scuff1e which followed the man would
have fallen off the train if the conCluc-
tor had not held on to his wrist. Just
as the train stopped the man broke
away jumping from the car and fed.
The mans hat was blown off during the
SCuffe
