makers and headed for the Long Island
shore. The wind seemed very light
At lilo the Shamrock still held hei
lead. Both racers had their maiusails,
cluo topsails, spinnakers, and balloon
jibs out.
At Ills the Britisher was still in the
lead, but ten mioules latter the Colum
bia had passed the Shamrock and had
slight lead. At 11:45 it was very hazy
and the wind was dying out fast, the
Columbia at thattime was three lengths

half mile ahead. The wind at 1850
showed signs of fresheDiog.

men sbo wing the Columbia to be near

HtRMONY RESTORED.

AS the result of the action of The Pan-Pres.
byterian Alliance in session in Washington in
refusing to send to its business committee q
resolution favoring the settlement of tho
British-Boer difficulty by arbitration, in its
meeting en- Tuesday afternoon Rev P. g. J.
Meiring delegate to the council from Johsn
nesburg, South frica, took the first opportu.
nifty in the morning session yesterday to pre-
sent letter containing his withdrawal from
the council. Objection to the resolution was
raised on the ground that arbitration was
out of place between sovereign state and
one of its dependencies. The request was not
complied with, and the action of Dr.. Kerr
chairman of the business committee, in form.
ulating conciliatory resolution and secur.
ing its adoption by the council, resulted in
the withdrawal Of the letter before its con.
tents had been generally made known to the
members of the council.

Sacrificed Her Babe to Spirits.

Tacoma, WASH, Oct. 5.-To appease
the wrath OF evil spirits, during the re-
cent earthquakes in Alaska, an Indian
mother, at Yskutat Bay, threw her
babe into q new-formed abyss. The
Yakutats are intensely superslitious.
During the first and heaviest OF the
shocks the shore line was disappearing
beneath the waters, which were fast
overtaking the fleeing natives. The
earth opened before them and crevice
cut off their path to safety. ut is the
devil!n they cried. 1.-THE devil wants
food.~ There was q pause. Then an
Indian mother advanced with her babe
10 the brink of the gulf and flung the
child into the abyss. They are firm in
the belief that the sacrifice alone saved
the tribe from extinction.
