FARMERS PROVE DISLOYAL.

London, Oct 1.-THE war news is
still in the region of surmise. There
are some rumors that the Beers have
been repulsed at Mafeking, and are at
lacking Vryburg. A Cape Town pa
per has a dispatch from the Orange
river, stating that the telegraph wires
have been cut between Vryburg and
Kimberly, and it is believed that the
Beers are attending large gathering
of disloyal farmers at Vryburg, cele-
brating Natchtmaal to attack the town,
hoping that the farmers will assist
them against the British.
The same dispatch says that the
British force at Kimberly is confident
Of their ability to hold out, but urges
the immediate dispatch of a relief force.
This question of possible uprising of
the farmers in the northern portions of
Cape Town is very important.
The Daily Mails correspondent at
Colesburg says that on the whole, the
chances are against rising. He bases
his opinion on the prospect of good
crops after four lean years, which he
believes will predispose the farmers
to peace. Nevertheless, there is seri-
Gus disloyalty, and much anti-British
agitation in this district, while the
Free State Beers threaten an irnmedi-
ate invasion of Colesburg and Aliwal-
north. The Daily Nails correspondent
asserts that Sir Alfred Miner is work
ed to death, and that Cape Town is
surging with bitter resentment at what
is called the Sehrilner cabinets be-
travail of Mafeking by it's constant re-
fusal to send force to its relief.

UNCONDITIONAL SURRENDER.

Milwaukee, Wis, Oct. 16.-At Cedar
Falls, today, President Mckinley ad-
dressed a crowd which had gathered
to greet him. In part, he said:
I'VE are a united people; united in
interest and sentiment and purpose and
in love of country as we have never
been before. Sectionalism is gone, pre-
orator of hate has no hearing in any
part of our beloved country. We are
stronger and more united than we have
ever been before. The men of the
south and the men of the north have
been fighting for the same flag and
dying for the same flag, and shedding
their blood together for the honor of
the country. The north and south are
vieing with each other in loyalty to
country, and are marching side by side
in the pathway Of our destiny and in
the mission of liberty and humanity.
The cause of humanity has been the
cause that is committed to our hands
| and that will not suffer. Wherever
we have raised our flag, we have raised
it not for territorial ACKNOWLEDGMENT,
not for national gain, but we have
raised it for civilization and humanity,
and let those lower it who will"
President Mckinley at Parkersburg,
Ia, said: TT is a particular pleasure
to me to pass through the district of
my old friend, Gen. Henderson, and it
! is great honor that comes to this
district that your representative is to be
the speaker of the next House."
| President McKinley's train arrived
at Galena, ILL.,, att p. m. A large crowd
| assembled within sight of the Grant
monument. The president, in effect,
| said: That great lover of peace, Gen.
| Grant, has set us an example both in
war and in peace. In war, uncondi-
| tional surrender was his requirement,
and after the war his constant and
| most fervent prayer was for the uni
! fcation of the states and peace of his
| country. We are having a little trou-
| Bile over in the Philippines, and, re-
membering Grants requirement Of UNI
conditional surrender, hostilities will
cease when those who commenced the
war upon our flag shall cease to fire at
| our troops and acknowledge our au-
| thority. We are now united country;
we are united for the right, united for
| liberty, united for civilization; united
| for humanity, and being thus united we
are invincible.
| At Ipswich, Wis, President McKin-
| ley spoke to a large crowd from a
stand near the station. Congressman
| Babcock boarded the train and accom-
| panied the president to Milwaukee.

Her IDENTITY UNKNOWN.
She Says She Has Relatives in This City
and Once Lived Here-Narrow Els
cape From Death Strong
Suspicion That She At
tempted Suicide.

Last night, about 1920 o'clock, a
stylishly dressed woman was found
unconscious in room As at the Bay
State House, and a gas jet in the room
which was left turned on full force
caused the proprietor of the house,
Frank P. Douglas, to believe that an
attempt had been made by the woman
to commit suicide, but later, when she
was restored to consciousness by good
work on the part of Mr.. Douglas and
his housekeeper, the woman stoutly de-
MED that she had tried to end her life.
The first seen Of her was Sunday af-
ternoon. when she inquired of the clerk
if the names on the register were
copied by the daily press, and being
informed that The Spy includes the
names of people registered at the hotel
in its columns of news matter, she de-
clined to register, stating at the time
that she did not care to have her name
appear in the papers, as she had
friends in Worcester and did not want
them to know that she was here.
She was assigned TO room 46. Last
night, about 1880 o'clock, a travelling
man who was given the next room,
rushed down into the Office and notified
the clerk, William Picket. that gas
was escaping, and he thought it would
be a very good idea to investigate the
matter.
Escaping gas never fails to arouse
hotel people, and at once the pro-
prietor, Mr.. Douglas, was notified and
called bell boy. After examining the
next room an attempt was made to get
into the woman's room, but the door
was locked. The rooms in that part of
the house are so arranged that they can
be turned into a suite at short notice
by opening big double doors between,
and a key was procured which gained
an entrance from the next room.
The windows were closed up tight
when Mr.. Douglas finally got inside,
and the atmosphere was sitting. The
woman lay on the bed fully dressed,
and at once heroic measures were TAX
en- to arouse her from her stupor
The housekeeper was summoned. All

outmaneuvered her rival, eventually
forcing her over the line first by half
a length, but leaving the Columbia in
the weather position. Close hauled on
the starboard tack the yachts plunged
seward, heeling to the 12-knot breeze.
The first few minutes of the race were
the most interesting. The yachts made
a beautiful picture as they raced away.
Their sails to the nautical eye were
perfection in fit. The crews were piled
up on the weather rail as the yachts
smashed into the head seas, pointing
the spray from their bows.
COLUMBIA'S EARLY GAIN.
1t was soon apparent that the CO.
lumbia was forging ahead. The clear
water began to show between them.
Columbia not only seemed to outfoot
the challenger but also pointed higher.
1t was astonishing how she picked her
way up into the wind. Within 10 min
utes she had established lead of five
lengths, and from that time on the race
was hers. The patriots were jubilant,

SEARCHING THE HULL.
Several Victims of the Nutmeg State
Identified.


Identified.
New York, Oct 16.-The work of
searching the charred hull of the
steamer Nutmeg State, which was
burned on Saturday morning and
grounded off Sands Point, was begun
today. She lies in the same position
as when her captain ran her ashore,
though no bodies were found today
and it is possible tlat several days will
be consumed in lifting out the heavy
parts of the machinery and iron work
which fill the upper part of the hulk.
The Baxter Wreclling Company has
undertaken The Job of clearing up the
wreck and recovering the bodies which
are generally conceded to lie in the
hold. There ale also supposed to be
several other bodies in the wreck. Va
rious estimates have been made of the
number of missing persons, but as the
passenger list of the Nutmeg State was
burned, the list of missing persons who
actually took passage on the fated boat,
" III be made up slowly, as inquiries
are made by friends or relatives of the
missing ones. The bodies of the wo-
man and the child which were washed
~ on the beach a mile from the wreck,
were identified at Port Washington to-
day as those of Mrs. Mary Lager, aged
SO. and her daughter, Rose, aged three.
Mrs. Lager came to this country from
Cosion, Switzerland, where her husband
is a matchmaker. The Identification of
the bodies was made by Mrs. Rosalind
Dung of New York city, and was pos
tive.
The wrecklNy schooner Fly, Capt.
Timmans, which arrived at the scene
of the wreck Of Tie Nutmeg State, is
still lying some hall mile off shore. She
draws too much water to permit of her
coming in close, The tug John Fuller

which draws only three feet of water,

Justice Allen, who is an acting COZ

he had fixed the date for the inquest for

were not recovered by that time, the
date would probably be changed.

, the windows in the room were thrown
open and also the door leading into the
corridor. The gas jet was found open.
The woman had lost consciousness,
and would probably have succumbed
had she been left there much longer.
BY hard work on the part of the house
keeper, she was brought to conscious
ness, after almost a half hours work,
and then seemed to be unable t tell
anything about herself or to relate how
the gas happened to be turned on.
She said that she laid down en- the
bed, after turning the gas out and
knew nothing more until awakened
from her stupor, to find the employees
of the hotel working over. her.
AS soon as he was all right, Mr.. Dou-
glas at once went to station l ana noti-
fed Lieut. Johnson of the affair, and
thought it would be a good idea 10 have
her taken out of the house. AS th<re
was no complaint that Lieut.. Johnson
could make against her, he refused TO
interfere.
He advised that she be allowed 70
remain in the hotel over night, any
way, and Mr. Douglas, acting on Lieut..
Johnson's suggestion, went back aid
ordered the housekeeper to remain with
her. She was feeling much better when

She was particularly anxious thai TIE

hoped that nothing relating to the mat
ter would get into the newspapers

the minds of the police that tLece is
more to the story than she cares to
tell.

New York, Oct. 16.-In a glorious,
wholesale breeze, over a windward and
leeward course of 80 miles, the Yankee
defender Columbia today scored
against the Shamrock the first race Of
the 1899 series for the Americas cup.
The Columbia bounded across the fin
ish line fully a mile and a half ahead
of the challenger, defeating her by 10
minutes and IA seconds actual time,
or 10 minutes and s seconds corrected
time, after allowing the six seconds
handicap, which the Columbia must
concede to the challenger on account of
her longer water line.
1t was a magnificent race, and deci-
sively won.
SHARPS SURPRISED.
No nautical sharp expected that the
Shamrock would be so overwhelmingly
vanquished as she was in todays con-
test. The Yankee boat outgeneralled
her antagonist, beat her hopelessly in
windward work to the outer mark, and
gained % seconds in the run home be-
fore the wind. No excuses can be Of
fered for the Shamrock's defeat. There
was a good, strong ten to twelve knot
breeze, and it held throughout the race
true as the needle to the pole.
The regatta committee as a result of
the showing made by the defender to-
day, are convinced that the cup is safe.
Blow high blow low, Columbia, it is
believed by her manager Mr.. Iselin,
can take the measure of her rival.
Sir Thomas Upton confessed after
the race, that he had been fairly and
squarely beaten. He had no apologies

a mile and half astern and the Column
bia was a. winner all over. 1t was not
close enough to be exciting. AS the
Associated Press boat on her way to
the outer mark passed the revenue out
ter Manning, Capt. Evans, who was on
the bridge, shouted, "Aint she q
peach?"
Nothing could have been prettier than
the way the Columbia swept around the
outer mark Both boats had edged far
to the southwark of their course and as
the rules required that the mark should
be passed on the starboard hand, the
Columbia tackled down to port and came
over on the starboard tack as she APP
preached the float.
LIKE LANCE IN REST.
AS she neared it her spinnaker pole
was poised like a lance in rest. AS she
swung around, she eased off her main
boom, let her spinnaker pole
drop to port and, breaking out the
cloud of canvas, fed homeward. wing
and wing, like a scared deer. Her big
