FIRST RAGE TOO CLOSE
The Margin by Which the Columbia Won the Race Saturday = The Contest Tomorrow Will be Over a Triangular Course-The Ameri- cas Cup Not Safely Anchored in the United States.

New York, Sept. 29.-An anxious but determined lot of yatchsmen gathered at the New York Yacht club tonight for another talk over yesterdays ex- citing race and the chances Of the Co., lumbia in the next contest with the Shamrock on Tuesday, but above all. that dreaded question, the prospect of the famous cup at last returning from whence it came after being in Ameri- can hands for over half a century. The anxious members seemed to be in the majority. although a grim air of determination not to give up the cup. was quite prevalent
 Every member frankly admitted that he had experienced something like a scare. and no che wanted to see the Columbia win another race by so close a margin. Al9 were debating the ques- tion what will the Columbia be able to accomplish in the triangular race on Tuesday. In the race Tuesday, if the wind holds true, two legs of the triangle will be sailed under these con- ditions: One of the legs will be ten miles to windward; the next will be a broad reach, while the third leg will be a close fetch to the finish line.

A REMARKABLE INCIDENT
A Real Gold Brick Thrust on Dr
 Swetnam in Chicago.

ET. J. NJ. Swetnam of this city tells of rather a remarkable incident that happened during his visit to Chicago a few weeks ago, and in which he was fortunately one of the actors.
 He was stopping at the Auditorium hotel and as he crossed the lobby one day q gentleman arose from nearby seat, nd extending his hand, said: .'Dr. Swetnam. there is no >ne would rather meet just now than yourself" The doctor returned the complimentary greeting, but eyed the man suspic- iuosly. as he could not recognize him and he feared that his long beard had possibly attracted a gold brick pro- moter.
 Finally they sat down together and the stranger announced that he owed the doctor a bill of s7 for professional services rendered seventeen years be- fore. and he was now ready to pay it. The doctor told him he would not ac- cept the money unless he told him his name or some incident of the service rendered by which he could recall the debt. The stranger then said the debt was contracted in Omaha, where the physician formerly practiced, and proceeded to describe how he routed him out one dark night to visit pa tient. who was hanging between life and death. the result of an overdose of some opiate. By that time the doctor recalled the circumstance, but to this , day cannot remember the name of the man or of the patient.
 After he admitted to his newly found friend that somebody owed him d bill of that sort, the stranger handed over a S10 gold piece. As the doctor felt in his pocket for the change. the stranger said: Never mind. just keep the change for interest The stranger then told him that he had knocked around a great deal after leaving Omaha, and is now in the restaurant business in St. Louis. and is making money, though he refused to reveal his name.
 ' It was an illustration of the return of a small piece of bread after long voyage on the water. He has fire 1 quently had people bring him money | after he had almost forgotten that they owed it, but to be met in a strange city. where he hardly knew a soul. by d stranger from ancther distant city and forced to accept a piece of money earned in a third city almost gener-

CONSIDER REPORT OF 1HE COMMITTEE
Cuban Convention Considers Report Of Commission.
Discussed in Secret Session. Majority Now Favor
Plat Amendment

Havana, May 14.-The Cuban con-
stitutional convention met yesterday
in secret session and considered the
report of the committee that went to
Washington to obtain more definite in
formation regarding the intentions of
the United States government. Gen
eral Sanguily objected to the report
on the ground of incompleteness, point
ing out that the committee made no
recommendations.
Juan Gomez moved that the report
be referred to the committee on rela-
tions, whose last report has still to be
acted upon. He admitted that the COM
mittee's visit to Washington had
thrown new light upon the amend
ment, but he thought it only just that
the committee should be allowed an
opportunity to change the report in
order to conform to the new condi-
itions.
An attempt was made to take an i'm
mediate vote with reference to the
amendment, but the motion of Senor
Gomez was finally carried, the com
mittee being instructed to act prompt
ly. 1t is expected that several days
will elapse before the amended report
is submitted to the convention. A
movement is on foot to delay action
until after the municipal elections.
A majority of the committee on re
lations are in favor of accepting the
Platt amendment.

Is Beaten by the Older Boat Five
Minutes In Twenty Miles.
London, May 14.-The Shamrock I
beat the Shamrock II by five minutes
over 20-mile course.
Mr.. Watson considers the result so
unsatisfactory that he decided off hand
to take the new boat back to South
ampton and to have her docked in or
der to ascertain whether any of the
plates were displaced by the ground
ing on Dean bank last week. Oppor-
tunity will be taken to have her gaff
and mainsail fitted. The work will
proceed night and day until it is fin
ished and the trials will then be re-
sumed at Weymouth.
The defeat of the Shamrock II
causes much disappointment. The
Chronicle says: "Unless Sir Thomas
is hiding her real form there appears
to be no chance of winning the cup.
If yesterdays form was genuine, we
presume the Shamrock will be chosen
to cross the Atlantic and as the races
have been fixed for a date earlier in
the year than last time, she may stand
better chance in the stronger Winds

Grand Tower, Ills, May 14-The

rooms are completely filed with water.
The steamboat drifted third of a
mile below the landing before she
sank. The first mate says the boat
