Wants Another Race.

New York, Oct. 19.-For the purpose
of demonstrating still further the quail
ties of Shamrock in stronger wind,
than the Irish challenger has yet had,
the Evening World and the Daily Mail,
OF London, have agreed to offer cup
to be sailed for by Shamrock and Col.
umbia in an extra race on such day as
Mr.. G. Oliver Islein of Columbia and
Sir Thomas Upton, owner OF Shamrock,
shall agree.
The Evening World and the London
Mail suggest to Messrs. Iselein and
Upton that further test be made, and
that it shall include change of crews,
30 that we shall settle the question
whether the men who sail Columbia are
superior in seamanship to the men who
sail Shamrock. This test can only be
shown by permitting Columbia's crew
to sail Shamrock and Shamrock's crew
to sail Columbia.
Highlands, Oct. 19-This morning,
Sir Thomas Upton was interviewed
regarding the chances of cup race
next year. 81 do not think will be
able to challenge next years aaid be
in reply to a question, whether he
would do so if unsuccessful In the pre-
sent series, "because of designer Fife's
illness. Should Fife think that he will
be able to construct yacht better
than the Shamrock, and give her a
good trying out in time for next year, l
shall do so. In any event, 1 shall issue
a challenge for the cup, if I am unsuc-
cessful in these races, the races to be
sailed in the fall OF 1901"

Mr.. BRYAN sounded the right key
note in Kentucky yesterday when be
told the boilers there, who are CON-
planning Of the way by which the regu-
lar democratic ticket In that State was
nominated, that republican success
would be no remedy" That is a lesson
the few so-called independents" in
Virginia would do we'll to learn. l.
was by following Mr.. Cleveland in '96
that the boilers defeated their own par
ty, and thereby brought on the high
tariff, the trusts, and the Spanish and
Philippine wars, with all the dire ills
thereof. Many are better than few
heads, even if some of the many be
those OF sheep and hogs.

Mr. MCKINLEY persists in telling all
the meetings at which he makes parti-
san speeches, that "the" flag is not fly
ing in the Philippines for conquest, but
for liberty and civilization. But he
says this in the English language, which
the Filipinos don't understand, posi-
bly,, for reason similar to that the Cork
gave to the Belfast, Irishman who asked
hin why his prayer book was printed
in Latin-that it might confound the
devil, for surely no sane Filipino
would agree that what the President
says, certainly iu respect of the particu-
lar matter referred to, is true.

THE PRESIDENTS MESSAGE.

The gist of President Mckinley
next message to Congress is causing
some speculation. 1t is said he will
recommend the establishment oil
American sovereignty and its main.
tenance in the Philippines. Civil gov.
eminent is to follow the military at the
earliest possible moment, and wide
latitude is to be allowed the natives in
local self-government.
Military occupation in Cuba is to be
continued until some substantial pro.
gress has been made, through the me-
dunn of suffrage, toward the establish
ment of an Independent form of gov.
eminent.
In Porto Rico civil government is to
Immediately replace the present mill
tary government.
Immediate legislation is to put in eff.
feet territorial form of government in
Hawaii.
The present gold standard is to be
maintained. Currency and banking
re commentators are to be based upon
the conclusions of che republican eau
Gus committee of the House and re-
publican members OF the finance COM
mittee of the Senate.
A new executive department, with a
cabinet officer at its head, to have
charge of all matters relating to utter.
state, colonial and foreign commerce,
which are now divided among the sew
eral different departments, will be
strongly urged.
Trusts and great commercial combi.
nations are to be regulated 30 as to
prevent the sitting of competition and
the levying of tribute upon consumers
by inordina advances in prices, but
without hampering the development of
American manufacturing and COM
merce.
Emphasis will be given to the i'm.
portance of early action by Congress for
the construction of an inter-oceauic ca.
nal.
