Shamrock III.


southampton, May 23.-It Is stated
that the hull of Shamrock IL, the new
challenger, Is practically undamsged.
The squall which carried away the
steel mast and top hamper was strong
enough to carry the wreckage so far
that It fell clear OF the chsllenger's hull.
It is officially announced from London
that King Edward Is not suffering In
any particular as o result OF bis rough
experience aboard the yacht yesterday.
He has received great number OF
copgratuIatory kilograms on bis escape
from injury.
London, May 2S.--It is the general
opinion in yachting circles that the in
ternational cup races which were to
have been held In America beginning
August 20, must be postponed for at
least fortnight on account OF the &C.
cident to the Shamrock. Yachtsusn
point out that Shamrock III. will be
practically new yscht from her deck
M when repairs are completed. This
fact involves the possibility OF an i'm
provement 10 her speed.
Southampton, May 23.--A yachting
expert who Is 10 Sir Thomas Lipton's
confidence said this morning that 1t is
most unlikely that Upton will race this
year. He says Upton is greatly disap-
pointed at Shamrock IFS showing. Her
rig Is much too light and everything
must be made anew. According to the
informant, Sir Thomas has practically
decided that unless there is surprising
Improvement In the speed of the cup
challenger he will not send boat over
to race for the cup this year.
Southampton, May 23.-Sir Thomas
Upton is keeping q stiff upper lip, but
he il vsbly depressed over yesterdays
accident which is described as but a
small part of his trouble. 1t Is thought
that but for Sir Thomss's fear of sp-
pearing unsportsmsnliks he would
make the mishsp to bis new racer an
excuse for Withdrawing from the race
entirely.
The disabled cup challenger still re-
mains of blythe. She will not be dock.
ed until q new mast has been made.
The racer will probably be towed to the
Clyde for repairs, which her designers
now say will take elk weeks to COM
plete.
New York, May pa member Of
the New York Yacht Club said today
that the club was willing to postpone
the cup races to suit the convenience oil
Sir Thomas Upton. He declared Sir
Thomas could have until Christmas to
repair his yacht II necessary.
London, May 23.-The Yachtman In
an editorial today coniesses that further
trials OF the two Shamrocks seem use
less. The paper says: 1.-THE trials we
have seen have shattered much OF oul
faith in the new boat and we cannot see
what prospect Of success Lipton has,
London, May 23-It was stated 10
yachting circles this afternoon that Sin
Thomas Upton has asked for post
ponement OF the cup races until o.
Iober.

mouldings, and extra rigging, were de-
stroyed by fire this afternoon In Denny't

Hnmbert,s Assassin a Suicide.

Rome, May 23.-Angelo Bresci. STAY.
or OF King Humbert, committed suicide
by strangling himself in his cell 10 the
Santo Stefsno prison. Bresci was found
dead In the floor of bis cell. Strips from
his shirt were made into rope. This he
twisted about his neck, and had thus
slowly strangled himself to death. II
was about year ego that Bresci, who
was a member OF "a band OF anarchists
in Paterson, N. j., sailed from New
York ito asssssinate the King Of Italy.
His opportunity came at Mona, Italy,
July 20, 1900. King Humbert had just
entered his carriage, amid the cheers OF
the crowd, when he was struck by
three revolver shots fred 10 quick sue
cession. One pierced the heart OF his
Majesty who fell back and ex-
pired 10 few minutes. His
assassin was Immediately arrest
ed. A month after Bresoi's arrest
he was found guilty and sentenced to
Imprisonment for life In solitary con-
finement. He was confined In cof-
fin-sbsped cell, hewn out of the solid
rock, beneath the prison walls. II the
many reports regarding Bresci's torture
In prison can be relied upon, the regi-
cide's life was made perpetual horror.
His cell was six feet long by three feet
wide and was almost dark, The pris.
oner was not allowed to utter q word
and was never spoken to by his guards.
His food consisted only Of bread
and water. He was not allowed to
read or use tobacco in any form.
When he committed any breach OF the
rules he was tortured by means OF
straight jacket, irons, and straight bed.
His hands and legs were always held
by heavy manaoles despite the fact that
his cell was hewn out of solid rock and
armed guards stood over him night
and day. Bresci left letters declaring
that he had repented Of his crime, aud
could not survive the remorse he felt.
He also left an account Of the plot for
King Humbert's assassination.

Tuv sva cadets who were yesterday

TIE five cadets who were yesterday
dismissed from the West Point Military
Academy and those who were suspeno'
ed have all departed for their respec-
tive homes. There was no demonstra-
tion by the other cadets and there is
not likely to be an uprising among
their comrades, as was anticipated from
some sources. Ifthese young men had
been taught discipline-to obey IS well
az command-and II the rules OF the
academy had been strictly enforced by
the officers In command, the dis
grace brought upon the institution BY
the reprehensible and brutal conduct
of some of the cadets would have been
avoided. But 1t Is full time for them to
be taken severely 10 hand for they had
become fully imbued with the Idea that
thew were the only ones and the people
be ID. But there will be no more

Is In a very subdued and obedient
frame Of mind now. The plebes
In the camp Of 1901 are going
to have the quietest summer en-
loved by any fourth class for many q
long wear. The cadet corps at last
grssps the fact that now 1t is the War
department and the officers at West
Point in charge who govern the
academy and not the upper class men
of the corps.

SENATOR MoLAURIN, who is credited
with the leadership OF 0 southern
movement to advocate expansion, pro-
tective tariffs on southern products and
the ship subsidy bill, made en- address
at Greenville, 8. c., yesterday In which
he defsndad his course. During his
speech he said: "There Ia no greater
menace to the stability OF our govern
ment than a large minority In the
American Congress voting upon broad,
vital, non-partlssn American questions
from purely sectional considerations.
1t was never contemplated by the
founders Of the democratic party that
1t should become purely sectional
affair, yet today there Is no democratic
party capable Of making itself felt out
side of the South" Mr.. MoLauren Is a
southern man and had he not been q
democrat and subscribed to the funda-
mental principles of that party
he never would have been sent
to the Senate, but now he has
turned q complete somersault and
Is advocating the very measures he
himself contended against. His state
ment that the democratic party Ia in
capable of making itself felt outside Of
the South does not mskeit 30. Recent
elections have shown that leaving out
the colored vote this country Is over
whelmingly democratic.

MONTAGUE TO SwANsoN.-Attorney-
General Montague last night gave out
q reply to Congressman 5wanson's chal.
lenge OF Tuesday for joint discussion
throughout the State. He explains
that official duties will not permit any
such plan as Mr.. Swanson suggests.
The Encouragement reminds the Con
gresham that bis first reference to the
latter being the candidate of Senator
Martin was made on May 8. 1t is
rather late now, Mr.. Montague thinks,
for his opponent to challenge him to
meet this issue. Mr.. Swanson's propo-
sition to hold of further election OF
delegates until these joint discussions
take place is declared as being too
manifestly unfair. The attorney gen.
eral tells his opponent that he will make
two or three speeches 10 certain coun.
ties in the State and will not object to
meeting Mr.. Swanson 70 joint debate In
these.

OF the answers said that the principal

object lesson OF the evils of universal
suffrage-or allowing everything In the
shape OF man to vote. The city has

and doubtless numbers OF them, with

city affairs, were here for the purpose
of voting. Numbers Of the Idle and

zors in their pockets. The need OF o
