Keener Than Ever

LONDON. Oct. 5.-There is a feeling of
supreme disappointment in London over
the failure of the Shamrock III to win even
a single race. Those who denounced Sir
Thomas Liptons ambition, asserting that
he was using his yacht 10 advance his
business interest now realize that his
sportsmanlike efforts deserved a better re-
suit. When il was announced that Sham
rock III was leading near home the news
was received in silence by the crowds on
the embankment. There never was much
betting on the outcome in this country. but
the disappointment among the masses is
sincere and great.
The question is raised here whether the
periority Of American seamanship or the
better constructive ability of the Amer
leans. With view of settling the ques-
ton, the Daily Express has abled Commo-
dore Morgan and Sir Thomas Upton sug-
gesting that they should arrange a race
with the Columbias 5 crew on board the
Shamrock III and the crew OF the challenger
on board the defender.

LONDON ADMIREs COLUMBIA.
Warm Praise and Hearty Congratu-
Iations on Thursdays Victory.

LONDON, Oct. 4.-The British newspa-
pers unanimously congratulate the United
States on the triumph Of the Columbia and
concede that Shamrock III is outclassed
on all points of sailing. The British experts
now in New York all cable similar views
to those expressed by the correspondent of
the Pail Mall Gazette, as follows:
The New York Yacht Club has every
right to be proud of its boat. There is no
question of want of wind, lack of a clear
course or the disadvantage of a bad start.
Barr simply gave Sycamore a good long
start and then went out and knocked the
head off him. The Americas cup has
ceased to totter. The splendid showing of
the American boat Won the unconcealed
admiration of the English contingent and
their congratulations that so superb a
craft existed"
Not without hope. Better luck next
time, Sir Thomas Upton cabled TO Mr.
Carmichael his manager, who replied: Go
in and win three off the reel"

SCHLEY'S BLOCKADE.
Describing Commodore Schley's blockade
of the harbOr II Santiago, Captain Rodgers
said that the fleet maintained a position of
seven or eight miles out, with the Marble
head and the Vixen inside the line. He re-
membered that the Marbehead was on the

| sells in the squadron had fired al her. He
| could not say whether the fleet was further
out in the day than at night, or vice versa.
Captain Rodgers had concluded his testi-
mony in chief when the court adjourned
| for luncheon.
The afternoon session began with Captain
| Rodgers still on the stand. He stated in re-
ply To questions that he was the senior
member of the naval board of survey dp-
| pointed by Admiral Sampson to examine

| The purpose of this line of examination
| was TO bring out the witnesses knowledge
concerning the effect of the BrOoklyns gun

| Captain Rodgers said the Brooklyn was the
| only vessel that fired five-inch shells, and
Mr.. Raynor said that a careful cOmputa-

survey showed that twelve five-inch shells
/ had been found on the four Spanish vessels.
Mr. RaynOr presented a statement show
/ ing the number of shells found on the YES
/ sells of the Spanish fleet, and the witness
was asked 10 state the percentage OF five

Berlin have been seriously interfered with
by a controversy with the police. The dele
gates first assembled in the Reichstag

Petition Circulating There for Com

BOSTON, Oct. 4.-Although Governor
Odeli, of New York, has stated emphati-
cally that he will not consider any petition
for communication of Czolgocz's death SEN
tence to life imprisonment, the Social Alli-
ance OF this city is circulating a petition of
this nature for signatures in Boston. Its
secretary is Theodore w. Curtis The petit
tion is long one and includes this SEN
tence:
1.-THE motive of the petition is not senti-
mental sympathy with a condemned man
much less the upholding of any form of
anarchism, of which he is said to have been
a disciple, but the belief that the ends of
Justice, the Vindication of the law and the
higher interests of civilization will be
served by this change in the form of the
Denalty.'

the season when the years business is
