SHE'S EVERY INCH A RACER.
Hut Columbia Must Do Her Best OF Shamrock Will Carry OT
 the Cup.

New York, Sept. 23.-Saluted by scores of vessels as she was lowed through the East river yesterday morning, the cup defender Columbia flying the pennant of the New York Yacht club at her masthead, looked every inch the racing craft that she is. The Columbia reached the Morse iron works, in Brooklyn, at noon, and at one o'clock sine was floated into the sectional dock, astern of the steamer Old Dominion. In two hours the yacht was high and dry and blocked up in position for her last cleaning before the great international race.
 Stages were slung all around her before dark, and early this morning a gang of men were put to work burn ishing her bronze hull.
 The yacht had many visitors yes terday, among them several yachts men. It was learned that the Colum- bia is using the old defenders boom and mainsail with which she won the trial races at Newport. It is not like ly that any change will be made in either the boom or the sail until after the first race.
 It is safe to say that fully 5000 peo- pie visited the Shamrock II. at the Erie Basin dry dock yesterday,
 Expert opinions were not lacking from both those who had visited thc defender and the challenger. Former Commodore Jchn c. Prague, who has won more races with his yachts in the old days than any other, saide
 "I like the shape of the Shamrock. and if her sails are as good as the Columbia's she will win the cup. Her rigging is strong and her mast is in the right place. Another good feature is that her boom comes down close to the deck. She looks bigger all over than the Columbia, and feel sure she is fast boat"

SOME BITTER PILLS FOR THE BRITISH
ExNsperatiOn in England over the Conduct of the Wnr-Thc Govern ment Accused of Trying |" Run 1t "On the Cheap" by Not Provid- ing Adequate Resources.
VAN DIX

Lopdon, Sept. 22.-While Mir. Kruger and Dr. Leyds are drawing up peti- tions to President Roosevelt and the czar, asking them to intervene, the fighting Boers are helping themselves ena- South Africa by celebrating the ex- rv; lration of the period in which Lord Kitchener proclaimed they must sur render by four notable successes, kill ing 6S officers and men, wounding 63 and capturing five guns and 300 men.
 Recalls Two Years Ago.
 The situation is singularly like the opening of the war, two years ago, the names of the same places recur- ,H12g in the dispatches. Utrecht, where sTTajA Cough was entrapped, was the scene of a similar ambushcade IS months back. Acton Homes, where the Boers, Friday, reappeared, is IS miles southwest of Ladysmith, prom 1nent in the early hostilities, and the Natal colonials are mastering for the defense of the Tugela, as when Gen. Joubert invaded Natal in 1899.
 Fighting in Cape Colony.
 In Cape Colony, fighting is again Tgolng on south of Stormberg, in ter ritory traversed by raiders and their pursuers half a dozen times.
 The governments publication of these reverses causes an outburst of eXasperation against the conduct of the war, not in South Africa but by the ministry. The great ministerial journals accuse the government of trying to run the war "on the cheap" by not providing Lord Kitchener with sufficient resources.
 Lack of Organized Effort.
 The Times, while it has no misciy- ings as to the final issue, accuses the home authorities of lack of organized. sustained effort, of a disposition to postpone military for financial con- alterations, and of failure to grasp TSe moral and intellectual damage whl\h the prolongation of the strug- gle 1f1ncts on the empire. Other min 1sterial supporters aver that precious months which should have been spert in preparing for another campaicn were wasted in electioncering. and that Lord Kitchener has not been supplied with the requisites.

AT THE TOMB OF M'KINLEY.
Thousands Visited WestInwn Ceme- tery Icstcrdny-Mrs. Mckinley
 Holding Her Own.

Canton, O., Sept. 23.-Dr. RiXcy said last evening that there had been no material change in the condition of Mrs. Mckinley, and that she was do ing as we'll as could be expected. He said:
 ''She went out for two hours driv- ing yesterday and still seems to be holding her own."
 Yesterdays drives were taken in the family carriage, an open surrey, which the president had sent on from Washington for use during the sum- mer vacation. Dr. Rxey and Mrs. c. Barber accompanied Mrs. Mckinley. yesterday morning, and it was taken at the request of Mrs. Mckinley. A much longer drive was taken dur ing the afternoon at the suggestion of the doctor, who feels that his pa tient is benefited by all the outdoor life she can stand and can be induced
 
 had tendency to produce sleep and rest and to increase the appetite for her, and they now have that effect to degree at least. It is understood that Mrs. Mckinley is securing fairly good rest in the midst of her sorrow and grief.
 There was placed on the Mckinley casket. yesterday, by Judge William R. Day a large floral wreath from the emperor of Russia. Judge Day re- celved telegram from Charge de Af- faires De Wollante of the Russian em- bassy at Washington, requesting him to have this wreath placed on the casket of the late president. It is oval in shape and seven feet by six It is composed, on one side, of Ameri- can Beauty roses, and on the other side of orchids. The base is of Sago palms, the entire wreath being inter- spersed with small cocoa ferns, tied with orchid satin ribbon.
 The resting place of the late presi- dent was visited by thousands of peo- pie, yesterday, probably over twenty thousand persons entering the gates of Westlawn cemetery between the early hours of the morning and the late hours of the evening. The at fractions were the floral tributes sent for the funeral which have been ar ranged on either side of the vault They are still in very good state of preservation, and probably will be for several days longer.
 The guard of regular soldiers pa trolled very wide circle around the vault and the flowers yesterday so that a long line could view the flowers at one time, and thus they prevented serious congestion.
 number of beautiful flowers were also placed on the graves of the Me kinley children, which are also pre- tected by patrol of soldiers Many of the crowd wandered from the vault to the private lot, many also climbed the high knoll in the new cemetery. the prospective site of the permanent Mckinley tomb monument, all agree ing that it was the most appropriate location.

DowlE HELD TO GRAND JURY
With Three Others He Is Charged

With Three Others He Is Charged
with Criminal Responsibility.
CHICAGO: The coroner's jury which
listened to the evi,icnce in the case Of Mrs.
Emma Lucy Judd, wife of one of the Off
cials of John Alexander Dowie's Zion, re-
turned a verdict holding Bowie. III. w.
Judd, husband OF the woman, and Mrs.
Sprecher and Mrs. Bratsch to await the
action of the grand jury. The two women
named in the verdict were in attendance
upon Mrs. Judd prior to the time of her
death. The charge against them is "crim-
inal responsibility" for the death OF Mrs.
Judd.
The evidence given at the inquest by
some of the leading physicians of the city
who had examined Mrs. Judd's body after
it had been eXhumed was to the effect that
the most simple surgical care would have
prevented the wOman's death. They testi-
fed that she was allowed to die when the
slightest attempt to a her life would
have been successful. This evidence in
duced the jury to declare that the people
named were responsible for the woman'S
death. Papers were at once made out and
officers sent to arrest Dowie, Judd and the
two women.
When the officers arrived at Zion Dowie
was not to be found. Mrs. Bratsch was
arrested in the building, and was prompt
ly sent to the county Jail, but III. w. Judd
and Mrs. Spreecher were no more in evil
dence than was Dowie. 1t was announced
by the police that the search wouli be
kept up until the missing three people
were taken into custody.
A mol OF 1000 people paraded the streets
of South Chicago after the verdict had
been rendered carrying an effigy of Dowie,
which was finally deposited in a large
bonfire.
