THE COLUMRIA.wINs AGAIN.
She and the Constitution Will Now Have Three
Trial Races.
(By the Associated Press.)

oyster Bay, L. l., August 24.-The CO..
umbia glided across the finish line at
eight minutes past four this afternoon
for the eighth time a winner over the
Constitution And the most cordial
salute that greeted the old champion
came from the steam yacht Erin. having
on board Sir Thomas Upton who had
himself been beaten three times by the
same boat. After sailing once
around the triangular course of the Sea-
wanhaka Club, with the Columbia forty
seven seconds a winnr. having gained on
every leg, both boats ran into a terrific
rain squall They CROPPED around some
time in the downpour and shifting
breezes, hardly able to see two lengths
ahead. At last the weather cleared
bit. The Columbia picked up the mark
which was the first on the second round
and stood for it. The Constitution, how
ever, had already withdrawn. Having
sent down her big topsail she was headed
for Oyster Bay. The Columbia kept on,
finished the race and takes the cup.
Todays race marks the finish of the
preliminary or tuning up series between
the Constitution and Columbia. They
now come to the trial races off Newport
under the auspices of the New York
Yacht Club The boat winning two out
of three of these races, provided there
has been a fair test of speed in average
cup conditions, will undoubtedly be Sc
lected by the Americas Cup Committee to
sail in the international races against
the Shamrock ii.

APRosPEcT FoR.PEACE.
People Looking For an End Of the War In the
Steel World.
(By the Associated Press.)

Pittsburg Pa, August 24.-Talk of
peace in the steel world continues in
spite Of the denials that there is pros
pect of any by either the officials of
the United States Steel Corporation or
the Amalgamated Association. President
Shaffer made the statement tonight that
there was nothing probable in this line
so far as he knew. He denied positively
that the conference with the four visitors
on Friday had any significance and said
that the Situation was unchanged. He
willingly admitted that he would at any
time be glad to discuss peace with the
proper officials or their authorized repre-
sentatives, but this was all.
However the officials of the organization
admitted on Friday that there was some
thing on the way that was of the utmost
Importance and that it would be heard
of in few days. This, with the rumor
that President Mitchell and Professor
jerks are in New York instead OF in
Chicago, gives the strength necessary to
cause belief that there is at last some
decided move toward peace under way.
Tt is not all certain that the supposed
messengers from Amalgamated head
quarters went to New York. Thei1
meeting place may be elsewhere. Pres
ident c.. M. Schwab is said to be absent
from New York and not expected TO re-
turn for a few days. 1t is believed that
if this is the case, he and others con-
nected with the company will meet the
Amalgamated representatives in some
quiet place.
Today the Ama1gamated Association
succeeded in forming a new lodge among
the workmen at the Duquesne plant OF
the Carnegie Company. and one of the
new members. not knowing that he was
talking to a newspaper man, indiscreetly
made the statement that strike had
been ordered at that plant to begin at
once.
Mayor Black, of McKeesport, is said
to have sworn in twenty-five prominent
strikers tonight to serve as extra police
men. This action was taken because SUI
perintendent W. w. Pitcock of the DEM
Ter Tin Plate Works, notified the Mayor
today that the mill would b startd on
Monday morning and police protection
was desired

CHINESE sMUGGLED IN.
They Come Across the Mexican Border Aided
by Corrupt Government Employees.
(By the Associated Press.)

(By the Associated Press)
Washington, August 24.-Probably the
most important arrests ever made in con-
nection with the smuggling of Chinese
across the Mexican border into the Uni
ted States were made yesterday in Ari-
IONA when William NJ. Hoey, Collector
of Customs at Nogales, B. f. Jossey, an
immigrant inspector; Frank How, q
Chinaman living in Nogales and another
Chinaman living at Clifton, Mexico, just
across the border from Nogales, were
taken into custody by special agents of
the Treasury and Secret Service opera
tives.
Other arrests are expected to follow
within a day or two. 1t is stated that
with two or three exceptions. the whole
customs and immigration force OF OFF,
Gals at Nogales is involved.
Some time ago an official of the Treas
ury Department having Nogales as his
headquarters wrote the department that
he had reason to believe the official force
at that point was corrupt and that Chinese
in large numbers were being struggled
across the border for consideration.
secret service operative was sent there at
once and plans laid to secure evidence
against the persons under suspicion. Sew
eral Cinnamon were furnished with money
and sent on to buy their way through the
official Gordon. This was accomplished
without difficulty, the price demanded be-
ing from $50 to 1902.
The secret service men also arranged
with one or two employees whose honesty
had been tested to go into the collector s
office at a certain time and demand a
share of the money being received from
Cinnamon and to be admitted into the
combination, so that they might get their
share of the proceeds of future deals.
This was reluctantly agreed to and con-
siderable sums of money were handed
over in the presence of a secret service
man who had previously secreted himself
in a nearby office closet.
The officials soon found that Cinnamon
who presented certificate marked with
the letter "a" were allowed to proceed
without question, while those having GER
tificates that did not bear this cabalastic
mark were turned back without ceremony.
Later on it was developed that the letter
"a" on a certificate indicated that the
amount demanded had been paid. Several

LIFE Is A FLOWER GARDEN

Life Is but a cemetery.
Where we bury.
Day by day,
Parts of us in dismal sadness.
All our sorrow, all our gladness,
Deeds of virtue acts of madness,
Sin and shame.
Hope and fame.
Beneath the clay.
Gloomy willows shade the graves
Grassy waves
Upon life's sea.
Memory in the twilight fingers,
Reckoning with her spectral fingers:
Mortal, weep;
Come back and sleep;
On hopes grave repose your head,
And dream with me
Among the dead.
Folly, thus to idly NOPE.
Can we bury hope!
Hope is n SIM
1t rises and its sets to rise again
And fill with light the gloomy hearts OF
men.
It's work is never done:
1t robs the past of all it's dismal sadness;
1t rouses us to songs of JOY and gladness
Till even memory stands, with flashing
eyes.
And prophesies:
Nv.
Life is a garden fair,
And all our thoughts and deeds
Are seeds
Which we are planting there.
And we may choose our seeds,
And tend them as we will:
But when the golden sun goes down
Beyond life's highest hill,
When on the flowers gently sinks the
night;
And, rising to the sky,
Their colors bright
Float in the air stray clouds to glorify
Then. through the gathering gloom
Beneath the stars pale light,
Soft breezes heavy with the flowers per-
fume
VIII glorify the night
