THE COLUMBIA AND SHAMROCK.
ARE IN READINESS FOR THE
YACHT RACE TODAY.

NEW YORK, Oct. 6.-This has been
a day of rest on board the International
racers. The Columbia was towed from
Sandy Hook to Bay Ridge to get her
out of any danger from the north
easter. The Shamrock remained at her
anchorage at the Hook her people
seeming willing to take the chances
The wind blew up pretty fresh about
q O'Clock, but there was nothing to
threaten harm to a yacht, SO we'll pro-
tected by tenders and tugs, to say
nothing of the powerful Erin.
The feeling on both sides is one of
confidence. Mr.. Iselin thinks he will
win. Sir Thomas Upton has a nice
little corner in the Erin all ready for
the cup. The public is in doubt, ana
it must be said that there is a feeling
of indecision among the expert yachts
men. The two days of drifting have
furnished almost nothing on which to
base opinions. They have, however
seemed to strengthen the belief that
the Shamrock is a thoroughly danger
Gus proposition This is now a we'll
grounded opinion, and if the two days
of light airs have done anything they
have shaken that confident feeling
that has prevailed among the backers
of the Columbia.
Those who have watched most close.
ly every movement of the two yachts
are firm in the belief that there is lit,
tie to choose between them in a. drift,
and as it is remembered that the
Shamrock people have never asserted
that she was a drifter, it can be un-
derStood that there is reason for Il
rise in the Shamrock stock. Twice in
the two days of racing there have been
times when both boats were sailing
under exactly similar conditions for
an hour after the start on Tuesday
and for like length of time after the
start on Thursday. Both were sailing
dead before a light wind, with the same
spread of canvas. On Tuesday the
Columbia drew away fom the Sham
rock No one can draw lines on the
racers from this, and it can safely be
said that the only change that has
taken place in the opinion of yachts,
men is one that tends to increase the
doubt.
1t now looks as though the first race
breeze. At sundown the wind was
blowing hard from the north The
weather was clearing, and there were
good signs of a pretty hard north
wester in the morning. If 1t comes,
the world will see the greatest struggle
in the history of international yacht
racing.
With her great mainsail snu3ly
slowed on the boom under a water
proof cover, the yacht Columbia lay
at anchor off the sea beach pier at
Bay Ridge to-day, riding out the east
erly storm under the lee of land. All
her other sails were unbent and stowec
below. where they will be kept dry un-
til needed. Should there be rain and
strong breeze, however, the sails viii
not be spared tomorrow, for rain or
shine, barring accidents, the yachts
will start in their race and make a
third attempt to complete the course
of fifteen miles to windward or lee
ward or back.

The Proprietor of the Place Opens

PHOENIX, Oct. 6.-Two masked men

They have not yet been captured. They

1t was just before the closing of the

than dozen persons in the house
when two men, that inevitable ill-as-
sorted pair, the long and the short
man, entered by rear door with dirty
handkerchiefs over the lower part of
their faces. No one paid any attention
to them until one of the men stepped
into the middle of the room and drew
two revolvers.
At the same instant the other put a
revolver in the face of John Collins,
the faro dealer, and demanded the bank
roll. Collins told him to help him.

up the coin.
The proprietor, Gus Hershfield, got
a gun and came from behind the bar.
He took a shot at the man standing
in the middle of the floor. The koo-

bandits then made for the rear door
and escaped just as the police came
in the front door. They were pursued

was lost.
Just before they entered the saloon

REPORTS EXAGGERATED.
No Serious Fires Raging in the
Santa Cruz Mountains.

SAN JOSE, Oct. 6.-John A. Hicks, a
prominent and responsible citizen of
Los Gatos, who came down from there
this morning, says:
II think the report of fire in the
brush about Wrights and Los Gatos
has been exaggerated. There is a fire
out in the brush somewhere, but no one
at Los Gatos feels any alarm. I in
quired over the telephone of Wrights,
and the situation there is not deemed
serious. In fact, no one seems to know
just where the fire is. There is no
more smoke about Los Gatos than there
is in San Jose"
1t may be added that the heavy
smoke which hung over this valley is
still here to-day. This morning a fog
cleared it somewhat, but when the fog
lifted it was still Dense making the
sun appear like red ball of fire Many
people claim that the smoke comes
from the burned sheds on the Central
Pacific road or some other remote
point, since it is denied that any Sc
rious fires are raging in the Santa

The Free Coinage Advocate De-

CANTON Qll), Oct. 6.-Colonel w. j.
Bryan visited the Canton-street Fair
to-day and delivered an address on the
public square to an immense audience.
He said
The silver question is not dead, not
withstanding the fact that for a num-
Der OF years our Republican friends
have been claiming that it has been
inferred. They claim that the people
settled the silver question in 1896, but
this is not true. The only party be-
fore the people before the campaign
that had gold standard platform was
the gold Democratic party, and that
party carried only one township, and
that was in Western Kansas, which
had in it only six voters. This does not
appear to me to be settlement Of the

livered his address after the departure
Of the President.
President Mckinley said at Canton:
"Our glorious Old flag, the symbol Of
liberty, floats to-day over two hemi-
spheres During the recent war we
had exhibitions of unprecedented pa
triotism on the part of the people and
unmatched herosm on the part of our
soldiers and sailors. tApplause.l Our
second great triumph is the triumph OF
general prosperity.
THE busy mills, the active industries,
the general prosperity have scattered
plenty over smiling country. Our
third great triumph is the triumph we
have had over sectionalism. We are no
longer a divided people, and he who
would stir up animositias between the
North and South is denied a hearing
in both sections. The boys OF the South
and the boys of the North fought tri-
umphantly on land in every engage
ment during our war;
North and South together brought
now on the same electric thought, in
peace a common salute
And, with free and unresentful riv-
airy, harvest the fields whereon they
fought.
$50 I conclude by saying that this
nation has been greatly blessed, and
at this hour we are united and pros
porous and patriotic people. And may
that Divine Providence who has guild
ed us in all our undertakings from the
inception of the Government, continue
His gracious and assuring favor to us
for evermore." (Applause)
