Columbia had only the slightest lead
and Sycamore was doing ell he could
to shove bis boat across the line first.
At 2 o'clock the yachts were seven
miles from the finish line and they will
probably finish we'll within the time
limit.
At 2:10 Columbia stil led aud the
boats were still headed liz shore on the
starboard tack. As the boats came to-
getber on opposite tscks the crowds on
shore began to toss their hats in the air
with excitement.
Shamrock continued to hold along
the port tack. The race was nip and
tuck and Columbia's lead only amount
ed to few seconds, according to obser-
vations made by those on shore.
As the race stands at this time Colum.
bia leads by several secor d.. and this,
with her time allowance OF 43 seconds,
makes her an almost certain winner OF
the third race.
Shamrock gains slightly, but Colum-
bia could take the lead with the slight
est fsvoring puff.
At 2:51 the yachts were about three
miles from the hoish.
At 2:57 both yachts headed north
ward toward the finish line.
At 8 O'Clock they are about two and
half miles from the finish. The wind
ia light. Shamrock still leads by q
few seconds.
At 3:05 Shamrock is now minute 10
the lead and will probably defeat the
Columbia notwithstanding the time a.
lowsnce.
The yachts are still two miles from
the finish and much cau take place 10
that time.
10 the light air Shamrock showed the
same ability as Columbia to move along
with good speed. At 300 she had good
lead over the American.
At Bis the flags at the mast head Of
the Navesink light station futter limp
ly in the wind and Shamrock has shown
great drifting qualities. She is leading
the Columbia by good stretch OF wafer.
Up. N. Shamrock crosses the 6Dish
line few seconds ahead of Columbia,
but Columbia wins on time limit,
which is 43 seconds.
As Columbia has won three straight
races, the other two will not be sailed
and the Americas cup is still held 10
this country.

NEWS HAS reached Washington indi-
eating that Senator Frye, Of Maine, is
preparing to renew at the opening OF
Congress the fight he made for the pas
sage of his shipping subsidy bill at the
second session OF the last Congress. IL
il reported that Senator Frye this week
has been in conference at Boston with
several influential friends OF the meas
ure, including Senator Hanna, and that
they decided to bring forward ship-
ping bill early at the forthcoming ses'
sion of Congress. 1t is said that certain
cancellations will be made 10 the old
bill In order to meet the objections oil
the group of western republican sena-
tors responsible for the defeat oil the
measure last winter, but the changes, 1t
is said, will be unimportaut 10 that they
will not touch the principle involved but
will merely alter some minor details
upon which the opponents Of the meas
ure heretofore have hung objections.
For the advancement OF his bill. 1t is
said, that Senator Frye, though now
the presiding officer Of the Senate. will
retain the craftsmanship OF the com.
merce committee, to which committee
the bill will be referred. So this looks
like a ship subsidy bill will be forced
through Congress at its next session. a
bill that will take millions of money out
ofthe treasury for the benefit OF the al.
ready rich ship builders, at the expense
OF all the other taxpayers OF the coun-
try. And this iu the face OF the fact
that the ship yards are now crowded
with work and the ship transportation
iiues are making more money than they
ever did before!

THE SUFFRAGE CAUCUS.

The second session OF the democratic
suffrage conference was held last night.
Mr.. Thorn, of Norfolk. continued bis
argument 10 favor OF the maj ori,y re-
port OF the committee on elective
franchise. The entire session, which
lasted nearly two hours, was taken up
with Mr.. Thom's speech. Planting
himself upon the foundation that the
convention was called ito emancipste
the white man from the curse OF negro
suffrage" by removing the race ss q
factor from the politics OF the State re-
sumed the argument of the merits and
dement's of the two plans, and con-
tended that the ooe for which be spoke
was the only one yet presented which
would meet the demands pouring in
upon the convention from the white
people 10 all sections of the State. Mr..
Thorn closed his speech with brilliant
peroriation, in which ne pictured graph
ically the conditions in East Virginia
brought on by negro suffrage, and said
the golden opportunity which had come
after thirty years Of tribulston should
not be FILTERED away by the adoption
of suffrage clause which would fail 10
permsntly exclude the negro from
politics as factor where be had so
long been a disturbing element. At
1920 O'Clock be yielded for a motion 10
adjourn, and will proceed with his ar.
gument again tonight.
The only feature last night worthy Of
note, save the strong presentation OF
the views of the majority OF his
colleagues, made by Mr.. Thom, was
the adoption of resolution offered by
Mr.. Portlock, OF Norfolk county, sd-
mittiug to the sessions of the conference
all State officers, and democratic men,
bsrs and ex-members Of the legislature.
