COLUMBIA BEATS SHAMROCK
Wins BY Two Minutes And Fifty
two Seconds.
WITHOUT THE EXTRA SECONDS

New York, Oct. SIN a glorious,
WHOLESALE breeze which heeled the big
cup contestants down until their lee
rails were awash in the foaming seas,
the Columbia beat the Shamrock II,
over triangular course of 80 miles by
two minutes and fifty-two seconds
actual time. With the forty-three Sec
onds which the Irish sloop must allow
the American boat on account of her
large sail plan, the Columbia won the
second race of the series by three min
utes and thirty-five seconds. The fast
est race ever sailed in cup contest, it
was not only royal struggle from
spectacular point of view, but it was
the two racing machines. There is not
a yachting sharp who witnessed the
race who is not firmly convinced that
the defender is the ADLER boat, blow
high or blow low, bearing, reaching or
running, and that Sir Thomas and his
merry British tars are doomed to return
home empty-handed.
Again the ancient piece of silver
which was brought across the western
ocean fifty years ago is safe. Again
American supremacy in marine archi-
lecture has been indicated. Sir Thorn
as has been wishing for breeze that
bury Shamrock's lee rail, and he had
it, just as he had similar breeze in
the concluding race two years ago,
when Columbia, in a driving finish,
beat the first Shamrock over six min
uteS.

A STRIKE At P|TTSBURG.
Likely to be a Sympathy Strike
Throughout the District.
BARRETT THE OBSTRUCTION.

Weir City, Oct. AT miners mass
meeting the employees of the Barrett
mines were ordered on a strike to take
effect today. The meeting was pre-
sided over by District President George
Richardson, of the United Mine Work
ers of America, who stated that the
strike question would be settled by vote
of the Barrett employees present. This
was promptly overruled by the radical
element, who took the ground that the
district board, sitting at Pittsburg, had
ordered the strike and there was no
option in the matter. A resolution was
finally introduced calling the men out.
When put to vote only fourteen
hands were up in support of the reso-
luton and none opposed. The diff
Guilty arises from the refusal of w. II.
Barrett to recognize the union. He
operates two Kansas and Texas mines
under lease, his own mine, the Nor
ton, No. l, at Scammon, and is a
partner in w. II. Barrett e. CO.. No. 1
here. AS handle to work on among
the men, the union took the price paid
for machine coal at mine No. 40 and
the Nation shaft, the only machine
mines in the state.
At the district conference in August
the union signed a contract with the
other operators who have no machine
mines, in which the price for machine
coal was raised 1919 cents over the
price established for the district for the
two Barrett mines using machines.
Now they call the employees of these
mines scabs, and have called out the
men at all shafts in which Barrett is
interested. 1t is very doubtful if the
union will be able to shut these mines
down, as they have some of the best
work in the district and the en-
ployes are satisfied. 1t is very likely
that these mines will continue to run
with a reduced force, and the result
will be a general sympathy strike
throughout the district.

AMERICAS CUP REMAINS.
Three Races in Succession Won
by The Columbia.
Upton A TRUE SPORTSMAN.

New York, Oct. With victory flags
floating from her towering mastheads
and the ends of her spreaders in honor
of her concluding and triumph in the
cup races of 1901, the gallant sloop
Columbia returned to her anchorage
under the escort of the entire excursion
feet. She completed her defense of
the honored trophy in another stirring
race with the Shamrock II over lee
ward and windward race of 30 miles,
crossing the finish line two seconds
behind her antagonist but winning on
the time allowance conceded by Lip
toms boat by Al seconds. And plucky
Sir Thomas Upton, standing on the
bridge of the Erin led his guests in
three hearty hurrahs for the successful
defender. ''She is better boat" he
said, land she deserves to be cheered.
''If there had been any possibility of
choice in the matter | believe the
yacht club would have given me the
race"
The usual pandemonium that attends
the final Yankee victory in cup con-
test followed. Whistles. sirens, bells,
bands and cheers united in a grand
chorus of jollification.
, After the Columbia had hauled down
her sails and set her victory flag, the
excursion boats crossed alongside to
cheer the Yankee sailors and the win
ming shippers. Nor did they forget
either Upton or his gallant craft. In
turn the crowded steamers ran along
side the Shamrock and Erin and the
vanquished received almost as much
honor as the victor. And thus with
fluctuations all around, the twelfth
series of races for the cup, which the
schooner America brought over fifty
years ago ended with the best of feel
ing.
While taking his defeat gamely, Sir
Thomas Upton made no attempt to
conceal the honest disappointment
when he talked about the races at
night on the Erin.

HARD LINES FOR MINERS.
Interior Department Holds up all Miner
nj Leases In Creek Nation.

al Leases IN Creek Nation.
Washington. Oct. 3.-The Interior
Department has handed down decis-
ion holding up all mineral leases in the
Creek Nation thus far negotiated. The
decision is severe. blow to capitalists
in St. Louis and other western cities
who'have invested large sums of money
in the development of oil and coal
fields in the Nation ~
Prior to the enactment of the Creek
treaty oil and coal leases had been
secured and large sums of money spent
in developing coal and oil properties.
A number of valuable coal mines are
now in operation in the vicinity of Red
Fork, and oil wells are being sunk in
the same locality. The operations at
present are going on under contracts
made with members of the nation who
have made their selections. These
selections, however, have not been APP
proved by the Dawes commission, and
probably will not be for six months to
come. Patents to the allottees will be
issued some time within the next year,
but until this occurs no individual
leases for the mining of coal and oil
are of any validity whatever.

STORY OF AN ATTACK
Upon the Guard at the Canton Gene


Canton, Ohio, Oct. ,2.-Private De.
prend, Company c, Fourteenth U. S.
Infantry on duty in guarding the vault
containing the remains of President
Mckinley, related the particulars of
an attack upon himself during the
night. At first all the commissioned
officers and the members of the com
pany generally accepted Depends
story fully, but when morning came
and no evidence of a struggle could be
found, only one of the commissioned
officers adhered to the belief. He said:
1T was the real thing; it was prompted
by the pure cussedness of some people
who thought to bring reproach upon
the nation by doing damage to the
resting place of the dead president.
All the men who were talked with
expressed the belief that Private De-
prend acted in good faith and that he
related only what he believed to be
the real circumstances. Captain Biddle
authorized this statement:
Il think the sentinel deceived him
self on the occurrence. / do not think
an actual occurrence as related by him
occurred. When daylight came there
was no evidence found of struggle

The Government. Side Of Story.

London, Oct 1--WE learn on very
high authority" says the Daily Chron-
icle, that a sudden and complete
collapse of Boer resistance and the
speedy termination of the war with
South Africa are anticipated. The
attacks on Forts Italia and Meodwill
and other recent engagements are re-
garded as the last desperate efforts of
men who are wearied by the struggle
and tired of being hunted.
Therefore, beyond sending drafts
to compensate for losses by casualties
and disease, there is no intention to
dispatch further reinforcements or to
employ Indian troops for guarding the
