DIDN'T CROSS THE
STARTING LINE
It Is the Same Old Story With the
Yachts - Barnacles Expect No
Wind Until Wednesday.

New York, Oct. 14.-The Columbia and
Shamrock got as far as the starting line
to-day but did not cross it. There was
not enough wind to blow out the signal
flags when the time came to send them
away and, after waiting an hour in the
hope that a breeze might spring up from
somewhere, the boat hoisted the now IA
miliar blue flag, crossed by white bar,
denoting that the race was off for the
day. The usual fleet of excursion boats.
yachts and tugs was on hand to witness
the melancholy announcement. After the
yachts had returned to their anchorage
in the horseshoe and the tail of the eX-
cursion fleet had disappeared through the
narrows, a good strong breeze blew in
from the sea and held throughout the
afternoon. With such a breeze the boats
could have covered the course in four
hours.
The yachts will try again on Monday,
but the old barnacles are now saying that
unless storm comes along to stir up the
stagnant atmosphere there is not much
chance of a change in the weather condi-
tion until the moon changes on Wednes-
day.
The Shamrock, with her mainsail up,
left her moorings in tow of a tugboat at
$50 a. m, the Columbia following at 3
O'Clock. Both arrived at the lightship at
about 10 o'clock. They sent up club top
sails, the Shamrock setting her largest
with aluminium spars. the Columbia ris-
ing the same one she had set on Friday.
Jibs and staysals were sent up in stops
on the stays, but they were never broken
out, what little sailing the yachts did
about the lightship being dene under
mainsails and club topsail only. The
same persons were on board the yachts
as on previous days. The yachts returned
to their moorings at $3.50 o'clock.
1t was reported after the race that
there had been talk of docking both
yachts early on Sunday morning, but the
rumor was not confirmed. The fact that
Captain Barr of the Columbia obtained
leave from Mr.. Iselin to go to the city
to meet his wife, who arrived to-day from
England by the steamer St. Paul. and to
remain in town until Monday morning, is
pretty good evidence that the Columbia
will not be docked.
Captain Robley D. Evans visited the
Erin this morning. and Fighting Bob.
and Lord Charles Beresford shook hands.

officer-a condition Of things he could
not tolerate, for, as he expressed 1t,
his hand was mot one of those that
once put to the plow releases its grip.
1t appears that both the queen and
| the cabinet practically acquiesced In
his demand, although, of course. re-
| tanning a nominal control. scarcely
worth the name. Butler is pretty Ger
| tain to cut the wires behind him and to
| be out of touch with London at critical
moments for fear the cabinet might
| change it's mind.
| 1t is this man. then. whom some of
! his own officers do not hesitate to call
brute, however much they admire his
determination, who holds the destiny
of the Transvaal and the Orange Free
State in his hand He knows the Beers
and he hates them. He has campaigned
over the whole present battle ground
and Is above all, soldier from head to
foot. AS soon as he reaches South
Africa he will inaugurate a campaign
OF aggressiVeness such as the world
has seldom seen, but which he believes
justifiable by virtue of his own superior
force. The sternest measures will not
be too stern for him. and until the last
vestige of Dutch power, whether in the
TranSvaal, the Orange Free State or
cape Colony, is swept out. he will not
stay his hand. The idea is well illus
trated by Sir John Tenniels cartoon in
| ILLS htch > Representing ooiiit
Bull, saying: "As you will fight, you
shall have it this time 1t is fight to
the finish.''
General Buffers mission is nearly in
keeping with the spirit of the colonial
office. Rightly or wrongly, believing it
was to be the only possible method of
solving the Transvaal trouble, those
officials have made no attempt to con-
ceal their satisfaction at receiving an
ultimatum from President Kruger, thus
enabling them to place the onus of the
war on the Beers. England may or
may not have justification for her con-
tentions, but the government organs.
which must know. as the associated
press knows by personal knowledge, the
real feelings of the anti-Boer party in
England have made pitiful hypocrites
of themselves in printing jeremiads
upon Mr.. Kruger's perseverance in
sending an ultimatum.
The only thing that surprises an i'm
partial observer is that the Transvaal
president did not adopt this course be-
fore British reinforcements arrived. The
only explanation OF his failure to do
so lies in the report that he overesti-
mated the strength of the British peace
party.
Once General Butler gets to work it
is believed here that the Beers will
offer little organized resistance. Some
thing depends, of course, upon the sue
cess they may achieve in the interim.
