STRATEGIC RAILROAD MOVE.
GouIds Said to Have Got Control of
 Norfolk nnd Western.

Philadelphia, Aug. 22.-The North American tomorrow will say: Control of the Norfolk & Western railway has passed out of the hands of the Pennsyl- vania railway and is formally in the grasp of the Gould interest This was announced yesterday as fact and will probably occasion great surprise in financial and railroad circles than any similar announcement made this year. The Gould interests, it is asserted, now hold an actual majority of the capital stock of the Norfolk 6 Western. It is believed that the Pennsylvania in- terest is about $1O000,000 out of the $23, ,OO0,00 preferred stock and $13,5OO,00O out Of the 6,000,000 common stock
 The Gould party began, it is said, by purchasing the foreign holdings of Nor folk & Western stock, following this by quietly picking up the floating shares in the New York market. Control Of the Norfolk & Western will be used by GeorgeiJ. Gould to further the interests of his railroad system. If the Pennsyl- vania railroad will withdraw opposition to the Wabash in Pittsburg and agree not to thwart Gould in his effort to get an Atlantic seaboard outlet the recent ly acquired interest in the Norfolk & Western will be surrendered at price which is fair. This is the latest of a series of strategic moves by the Gould group to the end of forcing an eastern outlet.

Retract Slander,

Stamford, Aug. 22.-Rev. Edward Bell, pastor of the New Canaan Bap- tist church, was tonight taken to the Bridgeport jail, where he will remain until he retracts a statement made by him from the pulpit last Sunday even ing reflecting it is alleged, on the char acter of Judge c. Duff Nichols, one of New Canaan's most prominent citi- zens, or until his case comes up In the common pleas court the second week in September.
 The bond offered last night by Dea- con Erastus Futile would not be ae- cepted to-day owing to the discovery that the property was iii the name or Mrs. Futile and she refused to sign the bond When this became known Dr. Bell was chained to tramp, sen tenced for drunkenness, and led through the principal street of New Canaan to the station.
 It is now believed that the affair will be amicably settled, Judge Nichols has informed MT. Bell, through his attor- ney, that if he (BelD will make sat isfactory apology from his pulpit Sum day night, the islander suit will be withdrawn It is believed MT. Bell will accept this proposition, as he said when boarding the train for Bridgeport that he would occupy his pulpit as usual next Sunday.

HAYS ATTITUDE ENDORSED
AMERICAN POLICY IN THE CEN
 TRIAL AMERICAN TROUBLE.
London Times Says No Exception Can Duties as Well as Rights-NO Cause for United States,-Dafly Graphic Points Out Egypt as . Parallel Case.
Out Egypt as a Parallel Case.

London, Aug. 23.-The Times says: "No exception can be taken to MT. Hays attitude toward the Central American trouble It is natural that the United States should take measures for the due protection of their own in terests and those of other nations, of which they are in some measure the trustee, and it could be wished that those measures might have the effect of exercising that moral influence over the turbulent and distracted republics which it is the peculiar right and spe- cial privilege of the United States to exercise within reasonable limits.
 "The Monroe doctrine has duties as we'll as rights, and it is no extravagant conception of those duties to regard them in this light. They are presented in the same light by the projected Pan- American congress. Other states may learn in Mexico that they have nothing to fear from the moral regency Whlch the United States cannot but exercise over their destiny, and that they nave everything to gain from the friendship and good will of the most powerful and prosperous community in the new world.
 From this point of view the pro- posed congress is an event Of happy augury, even if 1t prove barren Of inn mediate results, since it will afford favorable opportunity to discuss ques- tions most likely to lead to disturb ance of the peace and the means or their settlements under the moderatlng and disinterested influence of the unit ed States. It would, therefore, be a great misfortune if Chile persisted ln an attitude of isolation"
 The Daily Graphic, in the course or an editorial on the South and Central American troubles, says: "Ihe sltua- tion is almost intolerable and occasions a very legitimate anxiety in the United States. Unless orderly government IS est blished on firm foundation the eventual permanent intervention or the United States will become inevitable
 Comparing the situation to that or Egypt when the Suez canal was cut IL says: "The republics of the isthmus will experience the fate of Egypt uh- less they mend their manners oerore +he inter- oceanic canal is completed.

The Three Divisions Kept Busy-Third Division on the Elfrida,

Camp Newton, Fishers Island, Aug. 22.-There was little change in the daily routine of the state camp of the naval reserves to-day. The first divi- sion remained in camp. the second di- vision were given several hours of prac- tice with the cutters, while the third di vision had it's turn on the Elfrda. This afternoon the little cruiser left camp for target practice, but the weather became so thick that nothing could be accomplished with the gun. Several got into trouble to-day by being found outside the lines without permission. All the sailors caught Jumping the guard are placed in the guard tent for twenty-four hours Landsman Leslie of the second division received word this afternoon telling him of the death of his father and has been excused from further duty this week. The plans for the receiption of Governor Mclean and his staff tomorrow are not com plete as yet.

GRAND CIRCUIT RACES. Cresceus Wins Free-For-Al Trot-Hu- r,n,er,s (,cydtnx Takes 2.25 Pace.

Readville, Mass, Aug. 22-The cele- brated Cresceus, who through his rec ord of 2:02A is the king of all trotters and leader of the turf nobility, was the magnet to-day to draw almost 15,O0O people to the grand circuit meeting here. As a sort of recognition of the fayors shown him in the way of ap- rlause when he appeared upon the track the chestnut horse proceeded in the second heat of his winning race with Lord Derby and Charley Herr to lower the track record for the mile by three-auarters of a second and to break the worlds record of final quarters by trotting that distance in :29&. By this latter performance Cresceus lowered the record of thirty seconds for the final quarter, which he himself made at Detroit about month ago, when he strode the mile in 2:05. The accom- nlishment of to-day was not the fast est quarter of all kinds, for both Peter the Great and Tommy Britton did the second quarter of a. heat at Lexington, XIV. several years ago in 29A seconds.

AERON.AUT FALLS 300 FEET.
Saved by Landing in Meadow Mud-At-
 tackled by nIosqDttos.

New York, Aug. 22,-Benjamin Ben- jamin, an aeronaut, fell from his bal loon while making an ascension to-day at the Hoboken, N. J., Schuetzen Park. Failure of the parachute to work caus- ed the accident. Benjamin fell possibly 300 feet into the Hackensack meadows and this probably saved his life, as he landed in mud and water, sinking up to his neck. A boatman rescued him. His injuries arose not only from shock of the fall but from the onslaught of myriads of mosquitoes which attacked him as he was stuck in the mud and whose stings made his features unrec- ognizable.

DECISIVE WIN FOR COLUMBIA
CONSTITUTION WE'LL BEATEN IN
 YESTERDAY,S CONTEST.
Practically Twice Vanquished by the ord Boat-The New Yacht Had the Best of the Fluky Freezes, TOO-Tried a New MntnsaiI Which Set Badly at First-Clubtopsail Worked Poorly, Also Yachtsmen Guessing Again.

Oyster Bay, L. l., Aug. 22.-The Co.,
 lumbia gave the Constitution good
 sound beating to-day twice around the Seawanhaka triangular course. On
 corrected time the old boat won by two minutes and fifty-seven seconds and on elapsed time by one minute and thirty nine seconds. But the figures do not represent the decisiveness of the Co., lumbia's victory, for, as matter of fact, she beat the new boat twice. The first time around the triangle of fourteen and three-quarter miles the Columbia gained over five minutes. Then a shift of wind on the short leg across the sound put the Constitution upon even terms, when new race was practically started, the breeze now coming true again. This time the Co., lumbia gained over minute and a
 half.
 It was day of fluky breezes, but if either boat got any advantage from the frequent change in the wind 1t was the Constitution. It was at no time a whitecap breeze and the sea was
 smooth, conditions which have hereto fore always favored the Constitution.
 The new boat did not seem to have any
 of her speed previously shown in light
 airs. She was sluggish on the start ing line and although the two yachts crossed almost at the same minute with
 one-gun start, the Columbia romped off and took a lead of an eighth of a mile, while the Constitution was gath ering way. To be sure. the Constitu- ton was trying new mainsail, and 1t set very badly during the first round,
 but it kept getting better and better for the last fifteen miles of the course and was drawing very well. Then, too, the clubtopsail was almost useless in the windward work. The club was
 badly bent and the canvas did little work when the Constitution was close hauled.
 But all this does not account for her defeat. Even on the last leg of the race. in a close reach for the home mark, while both boats had exactly the same wind and the Constitutions sails were apparently drawing for all they were worth, the Columbia added over minute to her lead. With the interna-

 Ashfield, Mass, Aug. 22.-Professor Charles Eliot Norton of Cambridge made another attack on the adminis- tration at the annual dinner of San- derson academy this afternoon. His severe criticism of the American col- oniaI policy was similar to that made by him at last years dinner here. He said:
 My heart burns hot with indigna- ton, sorrow and humiliation as I re- gard our treatment of Porto Rico, of Cuba, of the Philippines. Can we stop our ears to the cries of innocent women and children whom we have made deso- late outcasts; to the groans of men whom we have shot down because they stood against us in the defence of what were once our principles? It is we who are paying for the killing of men, the burning of villages, the subjugation of people over whom we have no right whatever. It is time to renew our faith in American principles and ideals and our allegiance to them; to redeem our broken promises"
