NOT A NEWPORT COURSE.

Indications Now Say That the Course
 of Yachts Will Be the Same.
 New York, Oct 29.-While there is talk in some quarters of transferring the America's cup races to Newport the Journal states on the best au- thority that there Is not the slightest chance of the races being held there. While the course off Brighton's Reef lightship is good, it is not as good a one for d fair test as the Sandy Hook course.
 Off Point Judith, Block Island and iVeyard Sound four tides would have to be encountered during race, against one or two at Sandy Hook.
 For this, if no other reason, it would be unfair to ask Sir Thomas Upton to accept such a handicap, and there is not the slightest chance of his be- ing requested to do so.

MONEY CAME TOO LATE.

Young Arthur Venville Met His Fate
 Before Ransom Could Be Paid.
 Portland, Ore, Oct 29-The dispatch from Manila Saturday night in regard to the fate of young Arthur Venville, a member of Lieutenant Gilmore's party at the hands of Filipinos, has put an end to the hopes of young Venville's mother, Mrs H.

The fund, however, will prob ably be returned to this city and turned over to Venville's mother

INTERSTATE CONVENTION
or Young Mems Christian Associations
---Banquet In the Baptist Ch"rch---
Officers Elected To-day.


The sixth annual interstate convention
of the Young Mems Christion associations
of Vermont and New Hampshire began in
the Baptist church last evening. About
80 delegates were present and as many
more are expected today. A banquet was
served at o'clock, 100 covers being laid.
The banquet hall was handsomely trimmed
for the occasion with the flags of various
nations. Gen. j. j. Estey presided. Rev.
F. NJ Lamb of Salem, Mass, conducted a
! praise service at Z As o'clock.
! Rev. c. l. Scofed of Mortified, Mass,
! gave the opening address from the text,
Your young men shall see visions" He
said that this was the unique promise OF
| the Bible for young men. DR.. Scoheld de-
| fined vision to be an unseen spiritual
fact made real in human experience, and
| pointed out how vision gives the working
! plan of life, the incentive to strenuous liv-
| ing, and formed the basis Of strong conyic-
| tiOns.
/ This age needs, he said, three visions.
| First, the vision of the supernatural. The
| age is materialistic God is pushed back
out of any practical helpful power in human
| life, and is thought of as chained by his
! own laws. Second, the age needs to recov-
er the vision of redeemed and perfected
! humanity. Conversion work, saving souls
| one by one, seems slow. So the church
turns her energies toward mere humanita-
| ranism The speaker said that there were
certain lovely by-products of vigorous
! christianity, such as hospitals, orphanages
! and schools These spring up where the
| gospel is preached. But they cannot be
maintained apart from the gospel. Lastly,
| he eNhorted young men TO seek for the
| personal vision of holy and mighty life
Today's session opened in the Congrega-
| tional church at Q o'clock when a "Quiet
Hour" was conducted by Rev. f. f. Mar
bic, Phi. D., pastor of the Baptist church
of Brattleboro.
! The organization of the convention was

| dents, }. j. Estey of Brattleboro, F. w.
