in the Contest.
FINE TEST OF sEAMANsHIP.
Members of New York Yacht Club
Are Surprised at the Prop.
Osition = Nothing to
Be Gained.

London. June 14.-when the attention Of
Sir Thomas Upton was called to-day to a
report that his secretary had announced his
Willingness that the Shamrock ii should
race with the Independence II a Gun were
offered. he replied that he had made no ar
engagements for such a race. but did not
see why he should not do so after his en-
gagement with the New York Yacht Club
was concluded.
My first obligation Is to the New York
yacht Club" said Sir Thomas. when
That has been fulfilled I would feel free to
accept other proposals., although thus far
none mas been made to me-"
win regard to a report circulated in the
United states that he would not object TO a.
race between the two Shamrocks across the
Atlantic. he said:
Ihere Is nothing In the superstition that
l might do SO. l am unable to see any
sport IN such a suggestion. More than this,
ave not yet decided to send the Sham
JOCK over. What 1 would like to do would

the possibility Of such an undertaking. Sec

controIling the Constitution would ba open
Iof furtner propositions of any kind after
me cup races were over. II is said the
cwrers OF the boat Will put the Constitution
On the market as soon as her function is

on Republicans.

In nominating and selecting the five new
directors for the Mulianphy Emigrant Re-
lief Fund.-. the Democratic members of the
City Council. led by Captain BoSce. sur
prised their Republican confreres yesterday
afternoon. An attempt OF two Republican

tending the casting of the ballot.
Captain Boyce moved. under the head Of
unfinished business. for nominations for va

ton prevailed. and he submitted the name

Therefore, I nominate Mr.. Gates. hoping
that he will be appointed. and that here
after some member of the Mulanphy family

Mr.. Markham's motion that all five direc-
tors be chosen by one ballot was carried.
Mr.. Gibson then nominated NJ. j. Murphy;

John p. Leahy. The Councilmen laughed
signihcantly as Captain Hodges and Mr..
horton returned from the committee-room.
On motion OF Mr.. Markham the nominations
were closed. and President Hornsby de-
clared the five nominees appointed by unani-
nous vote.

COUNCIL PASSES BILL
TO CLEAR STREETS.
Measure Defines Distractions, In.
Guiding Illuminated Signs
and Similar Devices.

The bill declaring signs and divers con-
~trivances encroaching upon public space to
De obstructions was passed by the City
Council yesterday afternoon by the unani-
nous vote of the ten members present. and
last night was read the first time I'm the
House Of Delegates.
No obstruction Is exempt. Signs, sign
boxes. show windows. merchandise. iilum-
mated signs and signals. advertising novel;
ties and the many kinds OF devices occupy
ing space on the surface OF streets. alleys

circluded as o~ffenses. Violation OF the
ordinance would make the offender subject
to fine fer misdemearor.
Contrtvances may encroach not more than
IS inches beyond the building line. II sus-
pended. there r.ust be a clearance of at
least . feet above the sidewalk. In whole
sale districts 4 portion of the sidewalks
may be used not longer than eight hours
In the day. but at least hair the sidewaIk
must constantly remain open to pedestrians.
This bill accords with Mayor Weiss

ttons issued prior to his Inauguration, and
Its purpose Is TO facilitate the efforts OF the
administration to abolish what IS consid-

OF The new ST. L0UIS--MULLANPHY BOARD.
BILL FOR TAKING
PLATFORMS DELAYED,
Councilmen Not Quite Agreed as
to Methods of Procedure
Sent Back to Committee.

I Captain Boyce and Captain Hodges. al
though agreeing on the essential content.
of the bill. INDUCED in an exchange o.
arguments yesterday afternoon in the Cit,
Council or the measure proposing to II
cense shipping platforms. Their difference
OF opinion related to a formality of pro
cedure. Other Councilmen participated ir
the discussion. and the bill was finally re-
ferred back to the Committee on Municipal
Affairs.
The bill provides that permits to cree,
and maintain shipping platforms in whole
eale and shipping districts may be issued by
the Board OF Public improvements. Firms
obtaining such permits may construct the
platforms after having received a license
from the License Commissioner. The COM
pensation to the city shall be % cents per
square foot. and licenses shall be renewed
every year. Originally the bill prescribed
that the compensation should. in no in
stance. be less than SO per annum. The
committee recommended an amendment
eliminating this minimum rate.
III the committee has not held a public
hearing on this BILL" said Captain Hodges.
Il think II should be done. These plat
forms often are detrimental to adjoining
property. and il is questionable whether We
should allow the indiscriminate issuance of
permits. a property owner came to my
Office to-day n stated a case showing
how the detriment was effected to his prop
erty.
Il desire In this connection to extend con-
gratulations to Mayor Wells for ordering
signs and distractions removed from the
streets and sidewalks. He deserves credit
for the good work. Heretofore IL has been
the custom. whenever any one desired to
violate the laws. to go to the Mayor and get
a permit to do so. I'm glad such practices
are now only a memory"
Captain Boyce ridiculed the idea that
platforms in the wholesale district are det-
to adjoining property. saying that
hardshtps must exist to a degree and the
many must always be considered in prefer |
ence to the few. Mr.. Horton said tha the
City Counselor should be asked to state |
whether the Municipal Assembly has au-
to invest the Board Of Public I'm
provements with mower to Issue such per- |
.its. On his motion the bill was recon- |
.
