FEAR THE LIPTON YACHT.
American Yachtsmen Worried Over
Losing the Cup.

New York, Dec. 5.-The conviction
among the yachtsmen on this side of the
Atlantic that Sir Thomas Lipton's chal-
lenge for the Americas cup carries with
it real menace to the continued resi-
dence of the famous trophy in this
country has grown with the cabled re-
ports from abroad concerning the elab-
crate preparations being made for the
building of the new challenger, Sham
rock II. The reason for this fear is
set forth in a letter by Designer Clinton
H. Crane of this city. He says in part:
THE fact that the Shamrock II is
building at Denny's yard at Dumbarton
does not seem to have excited the inter-
est of yachtsmen in this country that
it should have done, perhaps because 1t
is not known that this is the first sail
ing yacht the Dennys have ever built
and that the Dennys have the only prl-
waite model testing tank in the world
two very suggestive facts. 1t is known
that the speeds of warships and mer
chantmen of unusual model have been
predicted with absolute accuracy, after
experiments in such tank"
W. Butler Duncan, the prospective
manager of the new defender, when
shown a copy of Mr.. Cranes letter last
night, declined to comment on the COM
parative thoroughness of the prepara-
tons made by the challenger and de-
tenders of the cup

Roll Will Call For Expenditure
of About $l42, 100000.

New York, Dec. 5.-Secretary Ethan
Allen Hitchcock of the department of the
interior, who is here on private business,
will return to Washington tonight.
1.-THE pension roll for the coming year
will call for the expenditure of about $142,-
100000 as against about $13S, 900, 900 for the
year just closing said the secretary last
night There are a little less than one
million names on the roll now and these
are being added to by recent legislation
Under the old law soldiers widows not
wholly dependent their own labor for
their support were not entitled to draw a
pension A recent law made it legal for
a widow receiving an income not above
$3.50 a year to receive a pension This and
certain amendments bearing on the con-
picants have added several thousand
names to the roll No country in the

Body of Yellow Fever Victim Brought
to Chicago.

Chicago, Dec. 5.-The body of A1exan-
der H. Cook, who died in Havana, Cuba,
of yellow fever. has been removed from
the undertaking establishment and now
rests in a receiving vault at Rose Hill
cemetery contrary to the strict rules of
the Illinois board of health The body
was admitted on the strength of a spec
ial order issued by the secretary, J. E.
Egan of the state board of health. The
rule OF the Illinois board of health which
prohibits the bodies of yellow fever vic
Tins from entering the state was sus-
pended upon condition that the body be
buried Immediately upon it's arrival in
condition the undertaken who was to
take charge of the interment is said to
have removed the body to his establish

The city board of health sent an in
Rpector to the railway station to take
charge of the remains. The inspector
has not since appeared, nor has a report
been made by him. The failure Of the
inspector to report the alleged breach of
agreement on the part of the undertaken
IS looked upon as peculiar and has cast
an air of mystery around the case.
Although the body is inclosed in a
copper lined and Theoretically sealed cas-
11et it is feared that the jar of the long
Journey on the train may have opened a
crevice in the receptacle, thus permit
ting the spread of the germs. If such a
crevice was made the lives of the pas
persons in the depot were placed in jeop-
ardy.

lay, it did not reach the city until mid

telegraph pole and returned the fire
twenty shots were exchanged at a
range of not more than fifty feet, but
no one was wounded
Having eznptied their revolverS the
detectives made a rush upon the ban
dts and caught them as they were try

COMING DRAMATIC EVENTS.

The following is what the Chicago
Times Herald has to say of Princess
Chic" which will be at the Crawford
tonight.
s. Princess Chic by Kirl1e La Shelle
and Julian Edwards, met with consld-
cradle favor at the Grand last night In
scene and costume, particularly the
latter feature, it is seldom surpassed,
and the general impression created by
the work was undoubtedly favorable.
strictly speaking, it is not opera
comique, as the programme sets forth,
but a. light romantic opera with comic
attachments, which recall at some
points almost every comic opera from
'Erminie' to The Belle OF New York
The romantic element is developed out
of the circumstance that Princess Chic
visits the Duke of Burgundy disguised
as a male envoy, and then wins his
heart while masquerading as a peasant
girl
1.-THE fun is provided by two alleged
soldiers of fortune who are uncommon
ly tough brigandS, and by the stewards
respectively of the duke and the prin-
cess who do almost everything that
such functionaries would not be likely
to do, and are consequently very anus
