In two hours the yacht was high and dry and block ur in position for her last cleaning before the great race. It is not likely that any change will be made in either the boom or the sail until after the first race Thurs day.
 It is safe to say that fully 5000 per sons visited the Shamrock II at the Erie Basin dry dock to-day. Expert opinions were not lacking from those who had visited both the defender and the challenger. Former Commodore John c.

SHARP FIGHT WITH BOERS
KRITZINGE BUSHES 4 CAMP ON
 THE ORANGE RIVER.
to Force Passage but ts Driven
 Back-Britlsh Suffer Sevorely-Kttch- ener Reports the Capture of Two Boer mmandoes-Eotha's Brother Caught Situation Ina Cape Colony Reported as
quite Serious.

London, Sept. 22.-The war office has received the following dispatch from Lord Kitchener, dated Pretoria, Sep tember 22:
 force a passage of the Orange river near Herschell at 1 o'clock Friday morning, rushed the camp of party of Lovatts scouts. Lieutenant Colonel the Hon. Andrew Murray, and Captain Murray, his adjutant, were killed. Deeply regret the loss of Colonel Mur- ray, who throughout the war, had led Lovatt's scouts with great gallantry.
 Under cover of darkness as the Boers managed to carry off gun. They were promptly followed up and the gun was recovered in smart en- gagement, in which Kritzinger lost two killed and twenty taken prisoners"
 Lord Kitchener also reports that the British captured by the Boers in the ambush near Sheepers Nek, September F, have been released and that the British casualties in the recent VlaK- fontein engagement when the Boers captured a company of mounted infan- try and two guns were one officer ana five men were killed, twenty-t three men wounded and six officers and 1O9 men taken prisoners He announces that the prisoners have since been released.
 Lord Kitchener further reports the capture of two commandoes-one con sisting of 55 men under Commandant Kochs who were taken together with their entire transport, west of Adem- burg and the other consisting or o4 men, including P. J. Botha who were taken with forty-eight wagons ana their belongings, forty-five miles south east of Carolina.
 Lord Kitchener's latest dispatches, although they contain good news as well as bad have done little to reassure the public concerning the state Of all fairs. The loss of Lieutenant Colonel Murray, a brother of Lord Mansfield, is keenIy felt. There is little doubt that further details will show 1t was a seri- ous affair.
 Lord Kitchener announces that the Buffalo river is flooded and that there is no change in the situation in Natal The latter fact shows that General LyttIeton has not yet succeeded In inter fering with the movements of Com mandant General Botha- P. J. Botha whose capture Lord Kitchener reports is brother of the Boer ccmmander-ln- chief
 According to the latest advices from Cape Colony the situation there is very serious, owing to the sympathy and ald which the Dutch are giving the Boer commanders. The British find it addl- tionally difficult to obtain news Of Boer movements. General French's task IS described as the hardest allotted him during the whole course of the war. At Pretoria the strength of the Boers in the field Is now estimated at 1l,O0O. IT these figures be correct the Boers must be constantly getting recruits Their supply of arms and ammunition seems to be inexhaustible. In Boer circles 1t is asserted that everything is prepar- ed for a Dutch rising in both Cape Col ony and Natal.

National Organization Started In

 Milwaukee, Wis, Sept. 22.-A na- tional organization having for it's pur- poses the clearing of the country of an- archists, was organized in a small way ill this city last night. The organiza- tion is to be called the American Pa triotis Educational League" A consti- tuition was adopted in which it is set forth the belief that the enactment of law to prevent the spread of anarchist doctrines is practically intellectual, but that these doctrines can be expirated by appealing through educational means to public sentiment and by mak- ing these doctrines so unpopular and contemptuous that no one would have the hardihood to promulgate them. It is the purpose of the promoters to be- gin active organization throughout the city and state and later throughout the union. A button will be adopted and every person opposed to anarchy will be asked to wear 1t. Several prominent cieizens were among those who attend ed the initial meeting.

BULLETS NOT POISONED.
RESULT OFF THE EXAMINATION OF
 CZOLGOSz'S REVOLTER.
Experts Fail to Find Any Trace or Poison Another Examination to De. termine the Exact Mental Condition of the Accused-Made i'm tho Interests ofthe Defense = Beli eff i'm the Assassin's Sanity-His Trial Begins To-day.

Buffalo, Sept. 22-The most impor- tant development in the Czolgosz case to-day was the announcement that no poison had been found on the bullets or revolver with which President Me Kinley was assassinated. Chemical and bacteriological examinations were made and both revealed the fact that both were free from poison.
 Another examination to determine the exact mental condition of the prls- oner was made in the Erie county jail this afternoon by Dr. Charles F. Mac Donald, of New York, the alienist who was brought here for the defense by the Erie County Bar association, ana Dr. Arthur w. Hurd, superintendent or the Buffalo state hospital. The al1en- ists were with the assassin for one hour and a half and when they left declined to discuss the case. District Attorney Penney and his entire staff spent all or Sunday at the city hall preparing for the trial of Czolgosz, which will begin before Justice White in part of the
 
 MT. Penney had conferences with the alienists and with City Chemist Her bert M Hill, who submitted his report upon an examination of the bullets and revolver.
 Immediately after the death of the president one of the staff of physicians in attendance on the president ex- pressed the opinion that the bullets may have been poisoned. District At torney Penny who had possession of the assessin's revolver, ordered care ful and thorough examination made. Dr. Hill was directed to make cheml- cal examination of the bullets and the chambers and barrel of the revolver. and Dr. Herman G. Matsinger, one Of the surgeons who performed the autop- sv upon the presidents body, was or dered to make bacteriological examl- nation. This afternoon Dr. Hill re- ported to the district attorney that his work showed that no poison had been used. He also presented a written re- port, but it will not be used on the trl- al. as that question is now eliminated from the case pr. Matsinger has nn- ished his bacteriologic examination, and his work also revealed the absence of any poison. The district attorney has been informed to that effect, al- though the formal report has not been submitted. Authorities of this ques- tion state that the two examinations form a complete test and that the slightest trace of poison would have been revealed.

 Managers Are Dctermin ed to Carry Out | All IArrangements-AII state Days and Other Special Days Being fs-assigned. Buffalo, Sept. 22.-This city is pulling itself together again after a fortnight of anxiety and sorrow, such as it has never known. What was intended to be the gala period of it's history, was turn CT into unspeakable grief which has gone into every home with force hard for any one not here to eralize. Buffalo was full of personal loyalty and en- thusiasm for President Mckinley It has been a center of Mckinley senti- ment all through his public career and there was not city In the country where friendship and devotion for him was more marked. Naturally his tragic end while It's guest, depressed the city beyond expression.
 | There never was community more engrossed in a great undertaking than Buffalo was with the Pan-American ex- position three weeks ago. Every man. woman and child in the city had a di- rect interest and pride in the undertas- ing. It seemed that every one with whom a stranger spoke had in mind the large ideal of the great good which the demonstration of the wonderful re- sources and abilities of the western hemisphere was to do for the country. Buffalo people seemed rather proud that the whole expense of the demon stration had fallen upon them ana their fellow citizensa. They would call attention to the fact that all Of the funds had been raised in Buffalo with out assistance from the nation the state, or even the city corporation.
 "It is the first exposition which has had no subsidies' so strangers were told. Citizens say: "The United States has furnished wonderful exhibit, far more attractive than has ever been seen before; the State of New York has erected A beautiful marble palace; the city of Buffalo has built bridge ana has furnished water and fire and police protection, but the funds to erect the city of light have all come from the private resources of Buffalo family"
 When. in his memorable address the president emphasized the Pan- Ameri- can idea and made it part of history, the people of Buffalo realized that their efforts were appreciated. They seemed contented and proud that as individuals of one city, they had done the work which might well have been the na- tion's undertaking. The revulsion was terrible. and now that it is passed the ouastion of what Is to come is inter- esting. The public feeling is strong and all one way. Every one seems to real ize that the stockholders of the exposi- tion have met great loss, propaply or not less than million dollars. This practically means the citizens, for

 London, Sept. 29.--A most alarming letter from Cape Town Is published to- day by the Daily Express. The writer says:
 "The Boers are over-running Cape Colony. They are on both the coast lines and within 40 miles of Cape Town. Even the intelligence department does not know how many colonial rebels have taken up arms in the last forth- night.
 "The town guard of Cape Town has been ordered to hand in the magazine rifles and ammunition, ostensibly be- cause those wanted at the front, Mar tini-Henrys have been served out in stead. In connection with this the writer declares the Dutch element in the colony is the revolt and it is use less to disguise the fact

House of Worship.

Washington, Sept. 22.-President Roosevelt's first Sunday in Washing ton as chief executive was compar- atively uneventful. He went out twice during the day, in the morning attending religious service with his brother-in-law, Douglass Robinson, of New York, and in the afternoon taking a long stroll through Rock Creek park with General Wood, military governor of Cuba.
 A rather unexpected incident occur red just as MT. Roosevelt and MT. Rob- inson left the church. A 15-year- old boy anxious to obtain photograph of the chief executive had stationed him self on the sidewalk about 60 feet from the entrance to the church, As soon as MT. Roosevelt reached the sidewalk he saw the boy with his big box and raising his hand as signal to a bicycle police man standing near, said: Stop that, stop that"
 The policeman jumped in front of the camera and the president strode for ward almost on a run. Coming up to the boy he shook his finger menacingly at him and declared:
 You ought to be ashamed of your self. Trying to take a mans picture as he leaves a house of worship. It is a disgrace. You ought to be ashamed of yourself
 With MT. Robinson the president then started across Fifteenth street with head erect and shoulders back A bicycle policeman under instructions previously given him started to follow but MT. Roosevelt turned and with an impatient wave of the hand said: T don't need you"
 The policeman thereupon turned back and the president and MT. Robinson continued their walk, going in round- about way to Captain Cowles' house. Many persons passed and recognized the president, the latter pleasantly re- sponding to their salutations. Two bi- cycle policemen who kept at respect f,ll distance in the rear had followed the nresident when he went to church. The presidents walk with General Wood covered about six miles in all.
