Ii has bsen cloudy ell the afternoon with
variable Winds, but they are looking for
good racing winds and fair weather to-
morrow. The present programme Is TO
start the race at eleven o'clock but 1t is
quite likely that the signals will not be
given until about noon when the wind is
more liable to be better.
Ex-Comm odore Gerry's Electra, which
was to have been the judges boat, has
been called to New York suddenly, and
j. X. Drexe1's Sultana has been placed

come down from Bristol this morning to
undergo some slight cbanses in sails. She
seemed to work nicely and with the wind
from the south fairly flew, as she came
back into the harhor.
The Defender sailed out Point Judith

lumbia was not back until 4.sO, some
time later. There is big fleet OF yachts

such a remarkable occurrence as to excite

Unexpected opposition To Matter
Arises in france.
French Commissioners
Lose Interest.
Must BE Signed In Three Days
By Dingley Law.

& Washington, July 20.-The Erauco-
American reciprocity negotiations have
again assumed critical stage and as only
three more days remain with which a
treaty can be framed under the Dingley
act, there Is considerable anxiety as TO the
final success of the treaty. The condi-
tions have entirely changed within the
last few days, and whereas at one time
the French ambassador III. Cainbon, and
the special recipr ocity delegate. NJ. Char
pentier, were quite DESTROYS Of closing the
matter. it Is understood they no longer
have any anxiety in that direction. This
Is said to arise largely from an agitation
which has begun 10 France against the
treaty on the ground that it threatens to
bring American goods in competition
with French goods and to throw out OF
employment many French workmep.
This unsettled opposition In France ap-
pears to have induced the government
leaders TO use much oircupsrection in
closing the treaty.
In case the present sharp differences are
adjusted the expectation Is that the treaty
will be signsd on. Saturday.

Strange Legal Dodge BY Dis
trict Attorney.


New York July 20.-The grand jury
in the case Of Roland b. Mollneux,
charged with killing Mrs. Kate J.Adams
today found an indictment against him
for murder in the. first degree.
Up to this morning thers had been no
case of Roland b. Molineux considered
by the grand jury. All witnesses were
summoned In the name OF John Doe who
was charged with the murder, having
caused the death of Mrs. Kate j. Adams.
Justice Williams. In his opinion dismissed
the former Indictment against Molineux
based on the quashing OF the indictment
en- incompetent and Illegal evidence
brought before the.grand jury. The aim,
1t appears, of the district attorney, was
to avoid thisifault in another Indictment.
So all witnesses were summoned in the
case of John Doe.
During the past week these witnesses
were examined as to the case both ex-
perts and others. They all, 1t is said,
though summoned in the case cf John
Doe, gave IL as their opinion tn 1t Roland
b. Molineux Wal connected with the case
and some that he was tho offender.
The hypothetical case was concluded
yesterday. This morning Assistant Dis
trict Attorney Osborne with 10 ) 1t iesses.
went Into the grand jury room. This
time the witnesses appeared in the caee
Of Roland B Molineux. They were ex-
amined very briefly and the jury subte.

ANeLo-AMERICAN COMMISSION.


Washington. July 2o.-The return from
Alaska of Senator Fairbanks. head of the
American section of the Anglo-American
commission, has brought TO decisive
Issue the future of this body. Following
extended conference between Mr. Fair
banks and Secretary Hay as well as. with
the President, dispatches havs been ex-
changed between the British and Cana.
dian authorities andsthose In Washington
which are serving to clear up the doubt
and confusion. And IL seems to be as
sured that the joint commission win re.
ASSEMBLE late in the fall instead of at
Quehe, next month.
Notwithstanding so rapid exchange Of
kilograms during the day between Sena-
tor Fairbankssin this..city and Sir WiIfrid
Laurier in Ottawa, at the close of Office
hours, no arrangements had been reached
as to the postponement OF the meeting of
the joint high commission. Some inter-
est attaches to this apparent ira nsfer Of
the negotiations from the hands of Mr..
Choate and Lord Salisbury in London to
Senator Fairbanks and Sir Wilfrid Lau-
rier ON this side. and perhaps 1t is this
that has given rise to the renewed hope
OF reassembling OF the commission.

1t should. be remembered that all ball
teams have times when they weaken.
The Portland team has been playing sll
the season at tremendous clip, holding
the lead continuously and winning
practically all its games at home. In
any athletic contest tho strain is always
greatest upon the leaders, and this Is
practically true OF base ball where the
tension isn't for q day or an hour, but for
q whole season. Beside that the team
has been most unfortunate in having
men sick and injured.
