SATISFIED WITH THE COURSE.
Sir Thomas Upton Wants to Race on
Sandy Hook.

LONDON, Nov. 1.-THE controversy in
the United States regarding the proposed
change of the Americas cup course. from
off Sandy Hook to off Newport, X. l., can
only be settled in one way, according to Sir
Thomas Lipton's idea, /. e., by sticking 10
the old order of things. He said to-day: Il
prefer Sandy Hook. do not think there Is
a better course in the world. have never
made any objection to 1t. In fact, 1 have
always spoken of 1t in the highest terms
No doubt the races last year were pro-
longed. owing to there not being sufhcient
wind to finish within the time limit. But
1t is my opinion that with sufficient wind
there cannot be better or fairer course
glory in fighting the battles over the old,
historical course. where we have so often
been defeated. Anyhow there has always
been sufficient breeze for the American
boats to win at Sandy Hook, and had
Shamrock been a speedier boat the same
wind would have brought her in first. Were
l to go over a new course, could not nave
worse luck so far as results go, than had
at Sandy Hook, and the Americans could
not have better luck than they got there.
These are my personal views. The MEM
bers of the New York Yacht Club are GER
tainly the best judges and / am quite will
ing to abide by their decision.
When questioned regarding the cable re-
port that the Chicago packers were get
ting their revenge for the Upton pork deal
by squeezing him, Sir Thomas Upton said:
There is no truth in the report. My pork
business is progressing quite satisfactorily.
Moreover the Chicago dealers are much
too good friends of mine to attempt to
take revenge That word is used unjusti-
fiably, for l have done nothing for which
revenge is needed.

Occasionally the scientists give to the

the absurdly small proportions of the edible

AMERICANS CRITICISED.


LONDON, Nov. 1.-THE British specials,
giving descriptions of the Morgan-Satterles
wedding. are almost entirely devoted TO its
pecuniary features, giving the impression
that it was q repetition Of the Bradley
Martin ball. AS natural result. the Lon
don papers indulge in such comment as
this, from the Westminster Gazette: 1.-The
reputation OF Americans of a certain type
for vulgar ostentation seems to have been
exceedingly well sustained at the wedding,
and so on in a similar strain.
Another curious piece of information
upon American matters is contained in the
London Daily Telegraph's description OF
the society American women of London, in
which it is gravely asserted that When
an American has made a fortune he finds
1t almost impossible to live quietly in his
own country The chief attraction is Eng
land, where Americans can escape the
newspapers" This is the chief reason. ac-
cording to the Daily Telegraph. why the
American colony in London increases,

here for the sake of the country alone, and
because ii makes them feel like being on

everything is dignified, proper and nice"

TROUBLE IN SIGHT.
Insinuations of Undue Influence In n
Fort Wayne Contract Award.

Special TO the Indianapolis Journal
FORT WAYNE. Ind. Nov. 1.-THE
Board Of County Commissioners awarded
the contract for the decorations of the new
courthouse this afternoon to w. G. An
drews, OF Clinton, Ia, at cost of $50, 900.
Knowing ones seemed to think Andrews
was on the slate for this work even before
the bids were received, and when, this
morning, b. s. Tolan, the architect of the
beautiful structure. sent Commissioner
Ferguson a protest, it was not needed.
There were eight bidders in all. including
some OF the greatest Of New York fres-
coers, as well as the Associated Arts of
New York. They had exhibits of rare
beauty, and all within the cost permitted
by the appropriation of the County Council.
Andrewss exhibit was meager and insig-
nifcant, but it drew the prize. Mr.. Tolar
rose after the announcement and said with
evident anger and disgust: Il will have
nothing TO do with the decoration of the
courthouse
There is intense indignation and many
charges of fraud current among those who
heard Mr.. Tolan and who have talked with
kim in private conversation.
