COLUMBIA ON A TRIAL SAIL
SHE MEETS DEFENDER AND THEY
 HAVE 4 BRUSH.
The Old Yacht Pushed Hard but Was Over Half Mile Behind at the End of Five and Whree-Guarters Mics Columb.a Uses Another Mufnsail- Misunderstanding About Mainmast.

Bristol, R. l., Sept. 21.-The Columbia noon, going out under mainsail, jib and club topsail. She sailed down towards Newport and on her way met the De- fender coming up. Immediately the yachts started in for brush, racing up the coast for a distance of five and three-quarter miles, Although the De- fender was pushed hard, she was tri fle over half mile behind at the end of the run. The sailing was all to the windward. The rain caused a sudden termination of the race. The Columbia took off her head sails and slowed them, taking in her mainsai quickly to pre- pare for the tow-in by the steamer St. Michaels. The mainsail used to-day was not the same sail used yesterday or the day before, but another of the many big pieces of canvas which was put on for test of it's fitness. There are thirty-six mainsails to choose from, and the Columbias manager wishes to pick out the best for the big race. All these SdllS are Woftl, IL Is estiihdteu' about $50,0O0.
 There has been some misunderstand- ing about the Columbia's mast. She did not put in here to-day, so that the new steel mast could not be stepped She will continue to sail with the old steel mast, which broke and was re- paired, until it is proved that new spar is needed The Columbia put in here rather to get the benefit of Nat Herreshoffs experience in tuning up. She will remain here until Monday and will go out every day except to-mor- row, when MT. Iseln will run to Prov idence on the St Michael, and on Mon day the boats will proceed to New Ro- chele and there the last work before the big race will be carried on.

REP UBLIC1NS OF FNEBRISKI.
Platform Endorsing Mckinley and
 Gold.

Omaha, Sept. 21.-The republican ] state convention to-day was one of the
 most harmonious gatherings ever held 1 by the party in this state. NJ. B. Reese
 was nominated for supreme justice and
 F. G. McGilton and William B. Ely for
 regents of the state university on the | first ballot. Judge Reese has served six years on the supreme bench, retiring six l years ago to resume the practice of his profession. A platform was adopted which heartily endorses the administra- ton of President Mckinley and says:
 While we deplore the instruction in the Philippine islands, yet we recognize the duties and obligations imposed upon
 our nation by the victory of our navy
 and the matchless valor of our arms, re- sulting in the treaty of Paris, which imposed upon the president the duty of maintaining the authority of the Unit ed States over the territory acquired
 thereby, and so long as there is one gun
 pointed at an American soldier, so long
 must patriotic and loyal Americans up
 hold our president in effecting protec-
 ton, tranquility and peace to all who
 recognize our lawful occupation"
 After paying a tribute to the valor of
 the First Nebraska Volunteers in the
 Philippines, the platform says: We adhere unequivocally to the gold stand ard and are unalterably opposed to the free coinage of silver. Gold has been our standard since 1884, and is now the standard of every civilized and impor- tant country in the world"
 On the question of trusts the plat form says: We denounce the attempt now desperately beng made to again array labor and capital in hostile camps The republican party now, as always, opposes trusts and combna- tions having for their purpose the stihing of competition and arbitrarily controlling production or fixing prices, but We also recognize that legitimate business interests fairl capitalized and honestl managed, have built up cur industries at home, given the 1arg- est employment to labor at the highest wages, and have enabled us to success fully compete with foreign countries in the markets of the world. Such indus- tries must not be struck down by leg ielation aimed at dishonestly organized institutions which destroy legitimate enterprise and the opportunities of la bor and plunder the public. We favor the creation by act of congress of bureau of supervision and control of corporations engaged in interstate bus mess, with powers similar to those ex- ercised over national banks by the | comptroller of the currency enforcing such publicity and regulations as shall l effectually prevent dishonest methods | and practices and generally such legis- | lation, state and national as from time | to time may be required for the corfec- | ton of abuses"
 A liberal pension policy is recom- | mended and the loyalty of the sound | money democratic is commended.

4 4NTI-IlTP LISJ.S' PLANS.
An Official Stntement--WiH Not NegOti-
 ate With Any Political Party.

"'o " hth <hhy
 Boston, Sept. 21,-The anti-Imperial- ist league this afternoon issued the fol- lowing
 An unauthorized statement having been made as to the objects of the anti Imperialist conference in Chicago, Oc- tober F, it should be said that there will be no attempt there at negotiation with any political party. It is hoped that this conference may plan for a sys- tematic effort to establish anti-imperi- alist leagues and committees through out the country with the intention of developing and crysallizing the opposi- tion to the presidents policy.
 It is true that in doing this the anti imperialists must denounce MT. McKin- ley individually because he unlawfully initiated the slaughter in the Philippines by his declaration of war, December i, 1898, at a time when the United States was soemnly bound by the protocol to preserve the status quo. It simplifies our efforts that, because of this impreg- nable fact, neither the country nor any political party in it is responsible for MT. McKinley's war, nor is in any way bound to support it. The anti-imperi- alists hope to arouse their fellow citi- zens to the gravity of the issue, which has been forced upon the people, so that no candidate for the next presidency can expect success unless he disavows the colonial and imperial ideas which have actuated MT. Mckinley and his pernicious advisers.
 (Signed) Frying Winslow, Secretary of the anti-Imperialist
 League.

Baltimore, Sept. Ex-Governor Lown- des, who ie candidate for reelection on the republican ticket, to-day de- handed the resignation of United States Senator George L. Wellington, as chairman of the republican state central committee, and it is understood that Senator Wellington will comply at once with the governors request This step is the outcome of action of the State Central committee yesterday in appointing committees in finance and on the conduct of the coming cam paign, thus practically depriving the chairman of the committee of most of his power and usefulness. Senator Wellington, who in the meeting, voted i'll favor of the appointment of the committees in question, subsequently, took a different view of the matter and gave out an interview in which he at tackled the governor and his friends, accusing them of conspiring to deprive him of the powers of his position.

DISS1TISF1 CTION IN LONDON.
Governments Delay in Sending Troops
 Causing Murmurs.

London, Sept. 22.-While the precise
 result of the secret session of the Raad
 of the Orange Free State is not yet known here, President Steyns speech at the opening of the session is regard ed as an almost infallible indication of the attitude which the Free State will take. Commenting from this point of view, the London morning papers are all impressed with the added gravity of the situation. Murmurs are beginning to be heard regarding the dlatorinees of the government in getting troops for ward, Military men are said to be i'm patient. They assert that everything is ready and they are only waiting for orders. Ii is recognized that the atti- tude of the Orange Free States makes the original estimates based upon Dutch neutrality too small Evidently a much larger force will be required.
 The government is faced with some- thing like a dilemma. The leader of the opposition has publicly denounced the precipitance of the colonial office in forcing on conflict. Therefore, minis ters are disnclined to convoke parlia- ment. II, on the other hand, so large an expenditure as the apparent attitude of the Orange Free State would involve should become necessary, the govern ment would be obliged to summon par liament to get adequate supplies It is understood that the money question accounts for the dribbling manner in which troops are being sent forward In Berlin it is believed that pr Leyds is acting as President Kruger's evil genius and misleading him by reports that he is likely to get sympathy if not assistance from some of the European powers. No member of the Cape cabi- net was present at the meeting of the Afrikander members of the Cape par liament yesterday. A dispatch from Pretoria announces that arms continue to be served to the burghers.
