RAINBOW WINS CUP

GENERAL SPORTING NEWS

Cornelius Vanderbilts seventy -footer, the
Rainbow, won yesterdays race for the cup
given by Sir Thomas Upton, after hope OF
finishing the course in the allowed time
had been abandoned
BY the handsome margin of 3 minutes so
seconds the Rainbow Won the $1,000 cup.
The Mneoa was second, the Virginia third
and the Yankee fourth. The official time
of the Rainbow was: Start, 1928; finish,
5:o4:12; elapsed time, 5:2613.
There was little promise of fast or
even an interesting race during the early
morning hours and for long after the start
the wind was so light that hardly one of
the spectators expected to see the event
finished within the time limit of six and
one-half hours.
The first half of the race was little better
than a drifting match. The second half
was much better but a shift of wind made
1t close reach back to the finish, all the
yachts being able to lie their courses
The Yankee was the first to cross the
starting line. The Mineoa, Rainbow and
Virginia followed in that order In such
light breeze the Yankees chances were not
good, for the three others had an opportu-
nifty to blanket her. This they did so eff
fectually during the first half hour that
they passed her.
An hour after the start the Mineola led,
with the Rainbow in second place. Corne-
Illus Vanderbilt and Captain Parker, believ
ing there was a better breeze to the south
ward, gave orders to gybe the Rainbow.
Down came the spinnakers, and as she
shot across the Mfneola's wake the great
main boom swung over to port. The spin
maker was quickly set to starboard and the
Rainbow's new course was shaped with
out delay. By this Independent move of
young Vanderbilt his boat won the race,
for she gained such lead that the others
were never able to catch her
Between the rivals of old, the Rainbow
and Mineola, the race to the finish in the
freshening breeze was a most exciting bit
of work. Slowly, but surely, the Mineola
overhauled the other, until, when they
dashed across the finish line she had gain
ed fifty-one seconds on the Rainbow, but
she could not overcome the lead

CONDEMNED MIX in Chile.

Consul Warner writes from Leipzig:
The following is the substance OF an
article which recently appeared in the
Leipziger Tageblatt: The amount OF
condensed milk imported into Chile
averages about 100000 pounds annu-
ally, most of which is furnished by
Great Britain and Germany. The milk
is packed in cans, dozen cans to a
box, each can weighing fraction over
a pound. The condensed milk import
ed from England is designated and
known to the trade as English,
while that from Germany is known as
Swiss" Here is another product
which England and Germany are ex-
porting to Chile, the United States be-
ing in no way competitor. Why is it
that these two countries can sell their
products in the markets Of Chile,
which are so much nearer our own
country in point of distance? The
question is easily answered: Their
commercial marine gives them this
advantage over us. When the day
comes-and it is to be hoped that it is
not far off-that our country will have
a merchant marine, Chile will buy not
only our condensed milk, but our iron,
our machinery, our wooden and cotton
goods, which she purchases today
largely from England and Germany.

Feeding Chick ems.

The Oklahoma Experiment Station
has recently issued bulletin which
reports a feeding experiment with
chickens in which some interesting re-
suits were obtained. The object of the
experiment was to determine the
amount of digestible matter in Kafir
corn and cowpeas when fed separately
to chickens.
The following summary from the
bulletin gives the practical results:
l. Chickens digested Kafir corn and
corn more completely when the grain
was fed whole than when the meal was
fed.
2. The Kafir corn and Kafir meal
fed in this trial yielded but 2 per cent
less total digestible matter than the
corresponding corn products.
8. Kafir corn was more suitable
ration, considering only the relative
amounts of growth-mahing and fat
forming materials, for chickens than
Kafir meal. corn or corn meal.
4. Cowpeas were digested reasona~
bly, well, and are desirable for grow
ing chickens and hens. But little gain
in digestibility was secured by grind
ing cowpeas.

INSURANCE RATES REDUCED.
Quarter of n Million Dollars Saved to the
Citizens of Kansas in


The following official facts and fig
ures will be of interest to the people
of Kansas. They show that under the
present management of the State In
surance Department our citizens
have made an actual saving in the
cost of insurance amounting to $24S,
S63.26.
Under McNall's system of fake ex'
aminations insurance companies
were bled to the extent of many
thousands of dollars, but not one
cent of this money went into the
vaults of the state treasury, nor into
the pockets of Kansas citizens
except the pockets of the fake ex-
aminers and those who were party
to the scheme by which the money
was eXtorted.
When w. V. Church succeeded Nc
Nall, the companies were assured
that they would not be bled for the
benefit of a few favorite individuals.
but that they would be expected to
make a radical reduction of insur-
,duCt TdlCS. AlbCI
ence the concessions were made, and
official figures on file in the insurance
department show the following re-
suits:
Total fire insurance business done
in Kansas for the years 1898 and
1899, was as follows:
1S9S-Risks written, $147, SOP, 149;
premiums paid, $1,76s, 9O9; average
rate, 1,199.
1s99-Risks written, $1s2, ,696;
premiums paid, $1,949,Os2; average
rate, 1903. Decrease in rate for
1899, .136.
Applying this decrease in rate to
the total amount of business written
last year, there is shown an actual
saving of $24s, s63.26. In other words,
had the rates remained the same as
they were at the time of Church's
appointment, the same amount of
insurance would have cost, in round
numbers, a quarter of a million dol
lars more than it actually did cost
under the new administration of the
insurance department. This was the
saving of a single year.
This is not the whole story. 1t
should be remembered that at the
time these reduced rates went into
effect, there were in force a large
number of three-year and ive-year
policies which have not yet expired,
and which are running at the old
rates. When these policies expire
they may be renewed at the reduced
rates and there viii then be a year
" saving TO our citizens of a much
larger sum. which may be safely es-
timated at siOo,ooo.oo.

VIII Vote for Mckinley This Fall.
Judge Lofty, the former democratic
probate judge of Usage county, has
come out with an open avowal of the
fact that he intends to vote for Nc
Kinley this fall.
:. He was interviewed by local paper
as follows:
Judge Lofty, understand that you
are supporter of the federal admin
istration and expect to vote for Nc
Kinley. Is this true?"
ut is. If had thousand votes !
would give them all to Mckinley. -Four
years ago l had strong prejudice
against Mckinley, but 1 have got over
that and / am convinced that he is an
honest man and one of America s
greatest statesmen"
BE kind enough, Judge, to give me
some of the reasons why you are sup
porting Mckinley"
an the first place, the populist
party, to which l have adhered dur
ing tie past few years, has failed to
do what is promised to do. !, with
Others, made these promises. / was
honest in my belief that the party, if
gyen the chance, would work reforms.
1t was given the chance and the lead
ers proved either incapable or recreant
and the reforms were not brought
about. The party is being swallowed
up by the democratic party. 1t is
opposing to-day what believe to be
right and / cannot and will not sup
port any party that opposes in its
platform, or public utterances, what
are my honest convictions"
''To what do you refer, Judge, when
you say that it opposes what you be-
.lieve to be right?"
"The populist party, led by the dem
ocrats, is opposing President Mckin-
ley's foreign policy and l believe that
policy to be right. ! believe that the
American government is the best on
earth. 1t is one of the principal lead
ers of civilization and for the extern
sion of liberty. We entered into war
with Spain in the interest of human
ity and for the purpose of securing
liberty for the Cubans. AS a result of
that war the Philippine islands became
ours. ] believe it is to the interest
of the natives of those islands that
they be kept under the, American flag.
1 had nephew in the First Washing
ton volunteers who was in the Phil
ippines before the war with Aguinaldo
began and who had good opportu-
nifty to observe the natives. | had a
little talk with him last fall and he
expressed the belief that the Filipinos
are not fit for self-government. From
all that | learn of them l think they
are not ready to govern themselves
and | believe that America will give
them a better government than they
are capable of forming OF. maintain
ing for themselves. And furthermore,
/ believe that the American flag ought
to float wherever we place it until we
ourselves think proper to take it
down.
SIN my judgement William McKin-
lev has shown himself statesman and
a ruler of great ability; he handled the
war with Spain in mastery manner
and should, / believe, be kept in office
to settle questions growing out of the
war;"
