 out the Day.

New York, October 2.-Yachting enthus- lasts and the general public are tonight expecting a most exciting race tomorrow between the cup defender Columbia and the challenger Shamrock II. They base their hopes on the strong wind blowing tonight and which the local weather pro- phets assert is likely to keep up for twen- ty-four hours or more. The Washington weather bureau adds to the expectations which 1t Is hoped will be realized by hold ing out a promise of strong breeze off Sandy Hook. The bureau says:
 Fresh northwest winds and fair weather for tomorrow. The winds ought to hold good throughout the day."
 The contest between the two yachts to- morrow will be over a thirty mile trian- gular course the same as that attempted on Tuesday.
 Everything In Readiness.
 At Sandy Hook tonight everything is ready for tomorrows race and If the weather predictions prove true the yachts will have plenty of wind-perhaps more than they want. At 9:30 tonight the wind shifted suddenly in a squall from south to northwest and began to blow hard from that quarter. At 10 o'clock its ve- locity was thirty-slx miles an hour
 The officials of the New York Yacht and Royal Ulster Yacht Club had a busy time of 1t in complying with the request of Sir Thomas Upton, backed by the as- sent of D. D. Morgan of the Columbia that in future the races should be held on consecutive days, not counting Sum day. The request from George L. Wat son, the designer of Shamrock H.. for a remeasurement because of his intention to take out ballast before tomorrow 8 race. was withdrawn by Mr. Watson.
 Mr. Watson can change the shamrock's ballast after tomorrows race if he so desires. W --ether this plan of removing ballast from the challenger was made with a view of decreasing the stiffness of the boat or cutting the water line, a matter of few inches-so as to gain in To Race Every Day.

HAY LIKELY TO
 LEAVE CABINET
Gage Predicts Present Secre- tary of State Will Be Suc-
 ceeded By Root

Denver, Col, October "A special to the Republican from Boulder. Col, says:
 Lyman J. Gage, secretary of lne United States treasury, arriveI .n the city to- day on his way to Camp Talcott.
 Speaking of the rumored intention of Secretary Hay to retire from the cabi- net MT. Gage said:
 Secretary Hay is getting tired of the business. He is a man of the strictest honor. He is very sensitive, however. and it hurts him. after he has worked hard to be misrepresented, cartooned and lampooned. He is independently rich. He can do as he wishes, go wherever he de- sires. He has few very intimate friends and he would rather enjoy his life sur rounded by agreeable companions and his books than attend to ..-e tiresome and changeless routine of the office of Secretary of state. I should not be sur prised if he would soon withdraw. If so. Root will probably be his successor"

against him. He released Boyd, he said, because Boyd was the personal friend of the witness.
 Major Hawkes. also said that he never learned from any of the parties named Boyd, Allen, Corbin and Meklejohn, that they were in the company, all such rep- resentations coming from Heistand. Capt. w. R. Wharton testified concerning meeting in Dudley and Michners office when the two attorneys, Heistand and Hawkes., were present. The talk was up- on the subject of the profits of the hemp deal. He had heard mention of the names of Boyd and Meiklejohn by Heistand and Hawkes., but in what connection he could not say.
 General H. c. Corbin, adjutant general who was named in the resolution as one of the parties to the deal testified that Colonel Heistand made a general state ment to him concerning the organization of a company and asked aim if he would like to invest in it. He thought favora- biy of the concern but two or three days later he told Heistand that he had no money to invest in any company. Some time afterward Assistant Secretary AL len came to him and said that a man named Hawkes. was using both their names to float some scheme. He told All len that Hawkes. had no authority to use his name. 4,either Boyo nor Meikleiphn ever talked to him concerning the organi- zation of the company. He had never dis cussed the matter with Hawkes.. He knew of Hawkes. as he was appointed in the volunteers, and subsequently applied for another appointment. The papers for the latter place were withdrawn. Later Hawkes. came to him with a claim against Hei.Afsnd and he had sent 1t to Heistand. That was all his connection with the matter

BOERS SUFFER
 HEAVY REVERSE
Have Fourteen Officers and Many Men Wounded-Brit-
 ish Colonel Injured

London, October 3.-Lord Kitchener re- ports that two officers and thirty-one men were killed in an attack made on Colonel Kekewichs camp at Moedwill
 The Boers, who were under Command ants Delary and Kemp had fourteen of ficers and IA men wounded, after two hours night fighting. when the Boers were driven off. Colonel Kekewich was among the wounded.
 The Boer reverse at Moedwill occurred September 29. The Boers are reported to have been one thousand strong. Lord Kitchener in his dispatch says the British repelled the attack with great vigor. Col onel Kekewich was slightly wounded in two places. He says that all ranks be- haved extremely well. The wounded were taken to Ruatenburg. half way between Pretoria and Mafeking.
 Lord Kitchener confirms the heavy wounded during their attack on Fort Itala and Fort Prospect. He says the guns recently captured at Vlakfontein have been recaptured from lne Boers.
 A telegram from Bloemfontein indicates that the guns Lord Kitchener reported having recovered were dug up, the Boers having buried them.
 A mixed column under General Kitche- ner, Lord Kitcheners brother. has been sent to relieve, presumably Natal, from Commandant General Botha's forces. It has reachced Vryheid.
 The casualty list shows that in the fighting at Caldon river last Friday Colonel Hummer lost two officers killed and ten men killed and wounded.

cRlTicIsE GOVERNMENT.
South African War Thorn In Side of
 British Flesh.

London. October B. TOT months past we have heen told" says the Daily Graphic this morning, that if the Boers would only abandon their elusive tactics and come to close quarters we should see what we should see. The Boers have taken us at our word and the results are certainly not encouraging"
 The chorus of dissatisfaction with the inertia of the government is daily gath ering force. Winston Churchill, M. P. speaking last night at Oldham, described the situation in South Africa as serious and disquieting." He said the war could not be ended by proclamations or threats, but only by vigorous military operations.
 The Daily Mail and the Daily Chronicle comment upon the fact that the huge British army Is seemingly only able to re- main on the defensive.

Mcintyre, who was attorney for Major Hawkes. at the time he made his settlement with Colonel Heistand, was called to the stand.

Hawkes., 1t appeared, de- sired an appointment more than pecuni- ary remuneration in the way of settle ment. General Corbin introduced him McIntyre) to Assistant Secretary Meik- eljohn. The latter disclaiming any con- nection with the combination. said he would be glad to do something for Hawkes..
 The details of the settlement effected, according to Mcintyre, included the ap- pointment of Hawkes. to civil position.

Assistant Attorney General Boyd, at his instance. had endorsed Hawkes. for the position, but MT. Boyd had said nothing to him about the Hei- stand Hawkes. settlement. He added that nothing was ever said by MT. Meikeljohn indicating that the appointment was made as a consideration of the settle ment.

Officials and Servants Mil Form a Caravan Numbering
 Several Thousand
TOWNS ON WAY 10 DECORATE
Court Officials Are Commanded to Pay for Supplies-China's Continual Broadside of Reform
 Edicts.

Pekin, October 2-Dispatches from Sian Flu announce that the Chinese court is preparing to start about October 6. The temporary palace there is being disman- tied, and all the furnishings will be car ried for use enroute. The officials and servants will constitute 8 caravan num- bering from 5000 to 5000 persons. with 12oo carts and several thousand head of horses and mules that have been collected in the Sian Flu district.
 Two parties of officials have already started to make preparations along the line. The towns through which the court will pass are engaged in decorating tenn porary palaces. and collecting supplies. The Emperor or the Empress Dowager in his name has issued an edict strickly commanding the officials to pay for all supplies.
 Eunichs Beheaded.
 The native papers report that several eunichs have been beheaded for practic- ing extortion among the people. An im- perial edict commands Li Hung Chang as governor of the provice of Chi u to bor- row 100000 taels from the other prov inces to defray the expense of the courts journey. Special local taxes are being levied which the people, already impover- ished by bandits, foreign punitive expedi- tions. and missionary indemnities are ill., able to afford.
 Li Hung Chang said today:
 ''The court will certainly arrive in Pe- kin within two months"
 Despite such official statements many foreign officials here believe the Empress Dowager fears the foreign troops are kept to entrap and punish her, and the theory is that she will pass the winter in Kai Yuen Flu, sending the emperor to Pekin.
 Broadside of Reform Edicts.
 The continual broadside of reform edcts is the topic of much varied com ment Those best able to judge of their sincerity or effectiveness withhold 1udg- ment. Prince Ching conversing with for eign officials today, asserted that the Emperor and Empress Dowager were agreed as to the necessity of changing the Chinese methods of government and that steps for the endorsements of edicts would be taken as soon as the court re- turned to Pekin.
 Unquestionably the reform movement is stronger among the upper classes than ever before Prince Su, who was re- gently appointed collector of taxes on goods entering Pekin-an office heretofore considered worth 100000 taels-has an- nounced that he purposes to deposit all the collections and to request the Em- peror to pay him fair salary. His sub ordinates resent this plan and Prince Su has been threatened with assassina- tion.
