TO carry the cup across the ocean, the
American yacht which would go across to
win back the cup would be at as much
disadvantage as the Shamrock Is over
here He said they rarely or never had
the light breezes over there or the calm
seas which have characterized the first
two attempts at races on this side, and
that yacht built for such light airs
would stand little chance abroad, where
the breezes were heavier and the seas
more botsterOus.
1t is evident that Sir Thomas and his
friends are modestly confident that the
Shamrock will make an exceedingly good
showing against the Columbia in breeze
and are greatly pleased at her good per
formances in the light weather hitherto
prevailing.
Sir Thomas smiled when he was told
that the forecast for tomorrow promised
a fair day and plenty Of wind and said
that such day as to-day, without the
rain, was what he was longing for. Among
the most prominent of the guests aboard
the Erin during to-morrow's race will be
Admiral Schey and the Governor Gen
eral of Canada, Lord Minto. Admiral
Dewey, ii is stated, will not be able to
accept Sir Thomas invitation before
Tuesday any way, and nothing definite
has been settled upon for that day. but
It is Admiral Dewey's hope and Sir
Thomas most earnest wish that the for
mer will be free from other engagements
so that he can witness at least one race
from the bridge of the Erin.

Auditor John w. Kimball. Fitchburg;
Treasurer and Receiver General, Edward
S Bradford, Springfield
The platform opens with fluctuations
upon the results which have followed the
restoration of the Republican party to
power in all branches Of the Federal Gov
ernment On the subject of national
finances and the currency the platform
says:
Bonds and notes payable in coin must
be established by law to be payable in
gold and provision made for supply of
gold when required. The Republican party
stands unreservedly pledged to maintain
the. existing gold standard. and We look
with confidence TO the Fifty-siXth Con-
gress for the enactment of measures to so
perfect our monetary system that there
snail be ample money for the expanding
business OF the country, and TO so arm
and give the Treasury that it can at all
times protect the national credit
The platform urges The opening up of
new markets for the manufactured prod
ucts of the United States; the develop
ment Of the merchant marine of this
country, and such Improvements of the
principal harboTs of the United States as

On the subject of trusts the platform
says:
THE Republican party of Massachu-
setts is unqualidediy opposed TO trusts

The national administration is indorSed
in the following paragraph:
We express our confidence in the pa
triotic ideals of President William McI<in-
ley and the high qualities of statesman
ship with which he has impressed them on
his administration. He has enforced an
partment of the Government; he has 50
conducted the diplomatic service as to win
for the United States the respect and ad-
miration of foreign nations. The recent
war with Spain, which was necessitated
by humanity, has been Overwhelmingly
vindicated by the results so speedily and
splendidly attained. We commend the

Special Dispatch to The Call.

NEW YORK, Oct. 6-Congressman
Eugene F. Loud, chairman of the House
Committee on Postoffices and Post Roads,
and Superintendent Victor j. Bradley of
the Railway Mail Service, who have just
completed a six weeks tour investigating
the workings of the postal systems OF
Great Britain, France and Germany, are
busy compiling a report of their observa-
tions. The principal object of the excur-
sion abroad was to learn the amount of
compensation paid railway companies
there for carrying mails. Results in TINS
direction are not satisfactory, as both the
English and Continental systems of book
keeping are different from the American
system. Generally speaking, there fs
hardly foreign idea that can be adapted
TO the American service with beneficfal
results. In one respect, that OF prompt
city deliveries, London and European
cities generally are ahead of New York
and American cities.
London has about three times as many
carriers and clerks as are attached to
New Iork's postofflce, but the pay of the
men IS much less than in this city. Su-
perintendent Bradley has arrived at the
conclusion that 1t takes three foreign car
riers or clerks to do what one American
does.
