rae COLUMBIA AGAIN WINNER

For twenty minutes after the start

Lawson yacht a little over 4 minutes,
In ten miles. This fine showing Of the
Independence did not in any way de-
tract from the interest in the contest be-
tween the two H%errshoff yachts. The
Columbia was never headed by the
Constitution, but the new boat gave the
old one a warm contest. The Columbia
had the better of both the caches. but
the Constitution sailed the windward
leg a minute n a half faster thar the
old boat.
The result of the fou contests be-
tween these three boats leaves much to
be determined, especially as to their
relative merits in anything except light
airs, where the Constitution proved su-
perior. Today's race was sailed in a
fifteen knot wind, the northeaster to-
day being much stronger than the
Southwestern of yesterday.

Coru Goes Up With IL Rnsh and Wheel
Is y Good Second

New York. July 12.-There was Il
scene OF great excitement in both the
wheat and corn markets at New York
today, trade ag%gregating one of the
largest days totals in a year or more,
especially as to corn. Prices jumped
2Sc during the day in corn, making
SIC advance for tie week. Orders
poured into the market so fast that
brokers could scarcely execute them at
the prices desired and the usually small
crowd around the corn ring was in
creased to such an extent that at times
it almost rivaled that in the wheat pit.
The farmers have taken the bull side
into other hands, and in face Of heavy
realizing on b part Of professionals
have kept prices going until the cry is
for 60 cent corn in Chicago. Already
prices are so high in the southwest
that armerS are feeding their stock
with wheat. and unless rain comes very
soon many fear only half the corn crop
will be gathered where only a month
ago it looked as if one Of the largest
Yields on record would be harvested
Wheat from being friendless has sud-
denly doomed also and rose steadily.

ALABAMA PUBLIC SCHOOLS
The Provisions Therefore in tho Pro
posed New Constitution.

Montgomery, Ala, July 12.-The COM
mittee on education made its report this
morning in the constitutional conven-
ton. Section one states that separate
schools shall be provided for white and
colored children and no child of either
race shall be permitted to attend the
school of the other. In lieu of the $780,
600 general appropriation and h extra
one mill tax for schools, a several tax
of three mills is set aside in perpetuity
for the schools. This yields a revenue
about the same as the schools now en-
JOY, but it will steadily increase as the
taxes increase.
Instead of requiring an equal distrl-
button of the school fund between the
races it requires that the school terms
for the two races shall be OF equal
length. 4 special tax Of one mill is pro-
yided to be levied by the counties on q
vote of so per CEN OF the qualified cleo
