We arc glad that the Government has decided
not to make public the letter of reprimand to
Captain Coghlan. and we trust the reprimand Vas
not very severe. The offence, all things consid-
ered-place and time and eircumstances-was not
one calling for heavy penalty. 1t was an indiscre-
ton which is much to be regretted, and that is
all. Captain Coghlan fought too brayely at Ma
nila and deserves too well OF the country to be
Inundated because he spoke a few sentences at
a club dinner that had better been left unsaid
at the present time.

OUR APPLES in DEMAND.
Europeans Are Buying Large Quanti-
ties at Good Prices.

NEW YORK, Sept. THE European de-
mand for the American apple is unprece-
dentedly large this year. 1t will exceed
that of last year by total of 1.217,775 bar
rels. and this means much as the Amer
lean crop will only be from one-half to
three-quarters Of what Is usually looked
upon a full crop. Apple growers there
fore may look for better prices, particularly
later in the season. The Atlantic seaboard
States and countries do not contribute
enough for the European demand early
enough in the season, and the fruit is being
shipped now across the continent from
California, where 1t ripens earlier. for ex-
portation from New York. Spectators and
commission men pay the farmer in Califor-
MIA from % cents TO As cents a box of fifty
pounds, and ii costs i cent pound for

SHAMROCK AT SEA AGAIN
SIR THOMAS LIPTON'S CUP CHALLEN-
GER TAKES ANOTHER SPIN.
Tries Her Club Topsail and New Main
sail for the First Time I'm
American Waters.

NEW YORK, Sept. I'm a breeze ranging
from five to eight knots an hour Sir Thomas
Lipton's challenging yacht Shamrock took
her third trial spin to-day of Sandy HOOK
When the yacht left her moorings in the
horseshoe at 10 o'clock the wind was light
from the northwest. After noon it freshened
and shifted to the southeast During the
trial. which lasted about six hours. several
new features were noticeable. The yacht S
trim had been altered by the addition of
more ballast aft, raising her bow out OF the
water and she set her club topsail for the
first time in these waters. 1t is a very large
piece OF canvas, fitting splendidly and ap-
parently doing excellent work in light airs.
AS soon as her mainsail was bent II was
foisted and the Shamrock slipped her moor
ings and was towed out past the point Of
Sandy Hook by tug. She was conveyed by
the steam yacht Erin. For some thirty
minutes after the tug let go the yacht lay
in the wind with mainsail and club topsail
up. A boat was rugged and Sir Thomas was
transferred to the Shamrock Then she pro-
ceeded to try her new mainsail. about which
there are all sorts of rumors regarding size
and weight. Breaking out the jib and fore
staysail. the Shamrock was headed then to
southeast for about thirty minutes, first
with baby jib topsail set and then with a
larger one. Then she hauled close to wind.
Victoria, bound east, dipped her colors TO
the yacht. The salute was returned and the
steamer was soon hull down on the horizon.
to the yacht.
The Shamrock stood of to sea for nearly
an hour. easing sheets at times and shifting
light sails. but at no time did she develop
the great speed credited to her in former
trials. In fact, she seemed not to be a sue
cess as a light weather boat. During the
trial Captain Hogarth had a superbly fitting
balloon jib topsail set, also new foresail at
fifteen feet. The yacht returned to her
anchorage some time after p. m.
