SHAMROCK /. IS BEATEN
Result Of Trial Race Between Old
and New Challenger j.
Disappointing.
WEATHER CONDITIONS SATISFACTORY.
Old Shamrock Has Length the Best
of Start and Holds Her Advantage
Over Triangular Course, Crossing
Finish Line Five Minutes Ahead of
1901 Challenger.

Weymouth, May 1.-the Shamrock
/. beat the Shamrock II. by five min
ates over 20-mile course.
The weather conditions were all ia
vorable for a fair trial, with the wind
fresh and steady, the course clear of
all distractions and no tides of any
consequence. The Shamrock /. Mon
day beat Sir Thomas Lipton's new
boat by five minutes and five seconds
over triangular course of about &c
miles. The only possible disadvantage
to the challenger was in the fact that
she used her old mainsail, which sits
worse since its salt water bath of
Thursday. There was no discoverable
holding back of the challenger, al
though once or twice she pointed such
a course as left the suspicion that the
steersman was not taking advantage
of every chance. There is no doubt
the result of Mondays trial was dis
tinctly disappointing to those who had
pinned their faith to the new chal-
lenger, especially as the Shamrock L.
on the previous spins had not showed
even equality with the new racer on
any point of sailing, with the excep-
ton of running.
Shamrock 1. Leads from start.
The first leg of the course was from
the Portland breakwater to the Sham
bles lightship, the second to White
Nose point and thence to the point of
starting. The old Shamrock had a
length the best of the start and held
her advantage so well that the chal-
lenger was unable to head her, and the
SHAMELESS lightship was rounded by
the Shamrock l. As seconds ahead of
the Shamrock III. The run to White
Nose point was dead to windward.
Capt. Wringe was able for over half
the course to keep the, Shamrock l..
on the weather bow of the new boat,
and held all his advantage at the
rounding of the second mark. As the
yachts squared away for the home run
the Shamrock l. led by about min
ute. Down the wind the two yachts
sailed with jibtopsails set, the old
boat adding to her lead throughout
the six miles and crossing the finish
line five minutes before the 1901 chal-
lenger.

SCHOOLS IN PORTO RICO.
Young Islanders Eager TO Learn
Training school to Open for
500 Teachers.

San Juan, p. r., July 23.-Much in
terest is manifested in school work
in Porto Rico by teachers and schol-
ars alike. In schools in the United
States, as a rule, the students look for
ward to the closing days of the spring
term and hail the first day of the
long summer vacation with delight.
In this Porto Rico children are differ
ent from their northern cousins. Here
the rising generation reluctantly left
the schOolrOOm on the last day of the
term and such a demand was made for
all-sUmmer schools that arrangements
have been made for them in several
towns.
Ground will be broken next week
for a complete professional school
to train teachers at Rio Piedras. About
500 teachers and prospective teach
.ers have signified their intention to
attend this summer school. By the
time for the autumn term to open
more than 80 new schOolhouses viii
have been completed. But even then
there will not be accommodations for
half the children of school age. Extra
buildings in all towns viii have to be
retired, as it is quite probable that
the school attendance next year wiD
be doubled

Naval Court VIII Inquire Into
Charges Of COvvardfee Against
Admiral sehiey.

Washington, July 24.-The Wash
iDgton Post telegraphed Admiral
Schley that in an editorial it insisted
that he owed it to himself as well as
to his friends to begin proceedings
against Mr.. Maclay, the author of the
History of the United States Navy,
to disprOve the latter's charge, add
ing: ''WiH you do this? Please
wire statement" Yesterday it re-
ceived the following telegram from
Admiral Schley, dated Great Neck,
L. /, July %: 81 believe the first
step should be investigation of all
matter by a court, then a civil ac-
ton afterwards. I am preparing to
take this course"
Mr.. Long has already stated that If
Admiral Schley requested a court of
inquiry he would grant the request,
and has also expressed his willing
ness to personally select the court.
While he has not made any statement
as to its personnel, there is every
reason to believe that he favors Adj
miral Dewey and Rear Admirals Ram
say and Benham, the two latter being
now upon the retired list. The name
of Admiral Walker has been sug-
gested, but it is known that he has
expressed his views upon the Samp-
son-Schley controversy IN antagonism
to Schley, and his appointment would,
therefore, be seriously questioned.
1t is said that Dewey, Ramsay or Ben
ham have always carefully avoided
giving an opinion as to the merits of
the controversy.
With respect to the matters to be
inquired into by the court of inquiry
the Post says that it might be difficult
to state briefly the exact questions
which viii come before the court.
but that Admiral SchIey condensed
them in a letter written to Senator
Hale, chairman of the senate com
mittee on naval affairs. February IS,
1899. This letter divided the criti-
cisms of himself into four heads, as
follows: First, the alleged delay off
CienfuegOs, Cuba; second, the alleged
slow progress toward Santiago de
Cuba from CienfuegOs; third, the ret
rograde movements on the Goth and
27th of May (this refers to the turn
ing of the fleet from Santiago toward
Key West); fourth, the battle of San
tiago and the destruction of Cervera's
fleet.

yelled the man, making his boat fast
to the ships side.
MY ships my home, and I'd have
as much right to Kill you as a man
on shore would to Kill a burglar -
continued the captain. That's the
instructions got from the owners
on my last trip"
Just then the owners tug arrived
and the runner took to his oars.
''WouIdn't I have had a right to
shoot him If he'd insisted on coming
on bOard?' asked the captain. The
owner had consulted his attorney
since. the captain had been in port
before and had to modify his orders.

thought" he said. ''The ship is not
your home, but your yard. You can
defend your cabin, as If it were your
house. The forecastle is as another
building in your yard, the quarters
for your servants. You can't keep

would proceed as though no suit had
been begun. 1--WE shall not let the
matter go by default" he said, ''but
we appTehend no obstacle from that
proceeding. Anyone can bring a
suit"
The secretary yesterday took cog
nizance of reports coming from Ok
lahOma that the men who are regis
tering at Reno and Fort Sill are do
ing so with the intention of trans
ferring their rights to others. 1.-THE
report he said, sis TO the effect that
they can and will dispose of their
numbers at enormous profits. That
is absurd, because it is impossible IN
der the regulations for them to
transfer their rights. For any of
them to attempt to do so would be
a clear violation of the law. They
take an oath not to do such a thing
and to use their rights for their own
conclusive benefit. There can be no
speculation in these numbers"
