THE SHAMROCK.

rock. They were on almost even terms
when the whistles were blown that an
nounced the end of the time. Shamrock
was perhaps a few feet, maybe third of
a length, in the lead.
Except for the failure to cover the
course in the prescribed time, it was what
the experts called satisfactory race in
every way. On the whole, it may be said
that Columbia showed to better advan-
tage, for on the run out over the fifteen
mile course she gained steadily, and on
the beat back Shamrock had all the luck
with the tickle breezes, and yet at the end
was only on even terms with Columbia.
Tuesday, according to the press re-
ports, the wind was twice taken from the
Columbia's sails by the steamers that
crowded around her and in the last race
the wash from big steamer interfered
with the navigation of one Of the contest
ants. In view of the actual handicaps
IN the shape Of excursion boats the Off
cial time allowances look ridiculous. It
is something like handicapping man in
q bicycle race and then driving a coal
wagon in front of him. And, after all,
there was no race because there was no
wind.

territory within the Schomburgk line.
This included the right bank Of the ORR

territory within the Schomburgk line.
This included the right bank Of the ORR
noco river, the command of which gave
Great Britain control Of the mouth Of
the great river. 1t was this claim that
especially aroused the interest Of the
United States. II it was acknowledged,
then southeastern Venezuela in COM
mercial and military sense would be SUBJ
jected to the control of Great Britain.
This was the crux of the controversy.
The retention and complete control of the
Orinoco was essential to Venezuela's in
dependence.
The decision of the tribunal, in addi-
ton to control of the Orinoco and the
coast line eastward, gives Venezuela all
the territory westward Of the Schom-
burgk line, which Great Britain claimed,
but was willing to submit to arbitration.
In addition Venezuela gets 1000 or 5000
square miles in the interior eastward Of
the Schomburgk line in the territory that
Great Britain would not originally sub
NIT to arbitration.

RESUME WAR ON FlLlPlNos.

Lawton and Grant with Strong Ar
mics Clear Trenches at linus.
The attacks of the Filipino insurgents
on the American troops in Cavite prov
ince. in which one officer and a private
have been killed and eleven privates
wounded, had their sequel Tuesday when
Gen. Grant moved out from linus toward
Bacoor Gen. Lawton drove the insur-
gents up the linus road and crossed the
river. Meanwhile three companies of the
Fourth infantry advanced from an oppo-
site direction on linus and soon the ISL
and between BacOor and linus and the
river banks was clear of rebels. The
enemy fell back on San Francisco de Ma
iabon and Cavite Viejo. One American
officer and a private were wounded.
The scene of the operations described
above is in Cavite province, between Ba-
coor and linus. Bacoor is on the shore
Of Manila bay, southeast and across Ba-
coor bay from Cavite. linus is about
eight miles directly south of Bacoor. Ca
vite Viejo lies at the bottom of Bacoor
bay, south Of Cavite. San Francisco de
Malabon is about eight miles south Of
Cavite Vieio and the same distance west
of linus.
LIE FeDeIS WHO AdFe UCCA dAAoS i0Ss
Gen. Grants forces came from the west
end Of Cavite province and from south of
linus. They have plainly been trying to
break through the American line from
linus to Bacoor, SO as to get into the
country directly south of Manila and to-
ward Laguna de Bay. The central part
of Cavite province is cut up by the afflu-
ents of the Zapote, Bacoor and Canar-
chite rivers, all of which fall into Ma
Mia bay east Of the Cayite peninsula.
The island" spoken Of is formed by the
Bacoor river and a branch Of it's main
affluent, the Tibagar, which rise in the
country between Perezdasmarinas and
Laguna de Bay and unite about three
miles south of Bacoor.
When the Americans advanced into Ca
vite province the rebels made their stand
at the Zapote river, were routed, and fed
south and west. The Americans then adj
vanced through Bacoor and San Nicolas
and linus to Perezdasmarinas. The last
place was soon abandoned on account of
the swampy nature of the country. The
Americans did not attempt to take pos,
session of the west end Of Cavite prov
ince, and the rebels have retained posts
at Novaleta, four miles southwest Of Ca
vite Viejo, and at other points further
west and south. The Americans also
cleared the rebel vessels off of Laguna de
Bay and have occupied Calamba, at it's
southwestern corner.

Why Coins Are struck.

The principal reason that coins are
struck and not cast is the well-known
fact that molten metals contract on
cooling. Thus counterfeit coins, which
are always cast show fatal variations
in size, which authentic stamped
coins do not. Secondly, it is impossi-
BILE to get the same sharpness of de-
ineation as in stamping and lastly,
when the stamping machine is once set
up the process of striking coins is in
finitely cheaper and more rapid than
that of casting ever could be.

that he never failed in anything he under

win back the cup and re-establish English
supremacy on the seas.
Ever since the year 1851 there has been
a silver cup twenty four inches tall and
weighing 100 ounces in possession of
Americas yachtsmen, which Englishnlen
have eagerly coveted. This aged bit Of

the schooner America and subsequently,

The Venezuela boundary arbitration
court, sitting in Paris, rendered its de-
cision Tuesday. The court in effect splits
the difference between the extreme
claims of the parties. Venezuela retains
the mouth of the Orinoco, which was the
vital point Of the controversy, yet the
Venezuelans are already crying out that
might has overcome right. On the other
hand the English are very well satisfied,
having obtained all they really expected.
Venezuela saves Barima Point, the

mouth Of the Orinoco, besides a large
tract Of country within the Schomburgk
line which England absolutely claimed.

A "Hymn of Science"

Some Hymns of Science" have late
~ been put forth by an American pub
Usher, designed to take the place OF
Christian hymns with those who have
seen fit to give up the worship of the
church, but who still feel a reverent
spirit.
1t is likely that the language of these
hymns will restrict their use to a lin
tied circle. Here are specimen stanzas,
which we find reprinted in an ex-
change:
Unity of Natures laws,
Cosmic order, without flaws,
In us all thy power stirs.
Norm etern of all design,
o Glory of the Universe!
Sweet Nirvana,
Highest Jhanai
Rapture sweeter than all pleasures.
Thou the measure of all measures,
Thou the treasure of all treasures,
o immortal Buddhahood!

a Decidedly Novel Claim.

A claim once made on the explorer,
Cameron, in the neighborhood Of Ga
boon, Africa, shows the peculiar work
ings of the native Africans mind.
Some of Cameron's possessions proved
unduly attractive to a native, and he
determined on transferring the owner
ship to himself. He accordingly paid
another native 5000 to procure for him
the coveted goods.
The assistant took the money and did
his best to earn it, but Mr.. Cameron
had perVersely locked up the very arti
Giles that the fellows employer had set
his heart upon. The man could not car
~ out his bargain, and neither did be
feel that he could part with the money
Therefore he ran off with it. What
more logical than that the man who
was the loser by 5000 should expect the
explorer to make the loss good? This he
assuredly did expect.
He went to Mr.. Cameron and told
him The story, demanding in the first
place the $200' which he, Cameron, by
locking up his goods, had compelled the
complainant to lose, and, secondly, the
actual price of the goods themselves,
which, but for these arbitrary measures,
would now have been in his possession.
1t is not stated that his expectations
were realized. -Watchman.
