 This Is one of those deplorable, iso- lated incidents which will have no effect upon the general result.

 men Are Still Confident.

New York, September 29.-An anxious but determined lot of yachtmen gathered at the New York Yacht Club tonight for another talk over yesterdays exciting race; the chances of the Columbia in her next contest with the Shamrock II. on Tuesday, but above all, that dreaded question of the prospects of the famous cup at last returning whence 1t came af- ter being in American hands brief month over half a century.
 The anxious members seemed to be in the majority, although the grim air of determination not to give up the cup was quite prevalent. Every member frankly admitted that he had experienced some thing like scare, and no one wanted to have the Columbia win another race by so close a margin. The bulletin board on which was tackled the committees brief summary of yesterdays race was the chief attraction at the club, and before 1t all the evening was a group of more or less expert amateur shippers, debating the question of what the Columbia would be able to accomplish in the triangular race on Tuesday. Every one hopes for the best. and many recalled the spirited preliminary racing with the Constitution and Independence when the Morgan boat had shown much speed sailing with start ed sheets.

Canton O., September 29. - A strange story comes from westlawn cemetery to- night, where a company of regulars from Fort Wayne, Mich, are guarding the vault in which the body of the late Presi- dent Mckinley lies. It Is to the effect that the guard on duty on top of the vault fired shot at one man who refused to heed his challenge; that the shot was di- verted by another man who appeared from another direction and that an effort was made to stab the guard. Military regulations prevented either the officers or the men of the post from being quoted on any matter connected with their serv- ice, and for this reason Captain Riddle, who is in command, was obliged to de- cline to be quoted at the camp tonight. He will make full report to his su- perior officers tomorrow.
 Reliable authorities made the following statement:
 Private Deprend was on guard duty on top of the vault at a point commanding the entrance below and the approach from the rear. Shortly before 7:30 he saw what he took to be the face of a man peering from behind tree about forty feet from his post He watched it for twenty minutes, he says, and at 7:45 saw the man hurry to tree ten feet nearer. He challenged the man to halt but this was not needed and the fellow ap- preached nearer. Deprend leveled his gun and aimed to shoot for effect, but just at that instant another man, who came towards him from the opposite side, caught the gun, threw 1t up and the bull let was spent in the air. This same man struck Deprend on the right side of the abdomen with a knife or other sharp weapon, cutting an l. gash in his over coat an inch and a half long each way and a smaller one in his blouse. The flesh was not broken but was bruised under the cuts in the clothing. Deprend in the struggle fell and rolled down the side of the vault. Lieutenant Ashbridge.

Conditions Tuesday.

CondItlons Iuesdays
 In the race on Tuesday, if the wind holds true. two of the legs of the triangle will be sailed under these conditions. One of the legs, probably the first, will be a beat of ten miles to windward, the next topsails or balloon Jibs, w...le the third leg will be close fetch to the finish line. On these two reaches all the racers have shown great speed and the Columbia has frequently made one of the ten miles tri- angular races in something under three quarters of an hour. It Is said that the Shamrock II. has shown good 14-knot gait in a reach, which Is a trifie better than the Columbia has done, but such tim ing cannot be considered absolutely relia- ble. At any rate with a good breeze the race on Tuesday should be a fast one
 Much will depend on the position of the boats at the start, but at the Yacht Club tonight there seemed to be the utmost COnuuence III Sdptdul bdrT OI the COlum- bia, despite the fact that he was outgen- eraled yesterday by the skipper of the Shamrock II. With the Columbia hold ing the weather position at the start 1t seemed to be the general opinion that she would keep .t to the first turn. But here came the question of the American boats ability to hold the Irishman in the next two legs. With her long lines there were many who seemed to think that the chal- lenger may ou,.oot the defender, and Captain Barr's only resource would be in a hot luffing match.
 Attempt at Luffing.
 That there will be an attempt by one or the other skipper to lufr out to wind ward in the two reaching legs on Tues days race, seems almost certain. pro- vided, of course, the yachts are any way close at the finish mark or end of the boat to windward.

WESTERN CANADA'S
DECEMBER WEATHER
Equal to That of May In Minnesota.

To the Editor:-Thomas Regain and
c. Collins of Eden Valley, Minnesota,
went out to Western Canada last De-
cember as delegates to look over the
grazing and grain lands that are being
offered at such low prices and reason
able terms. This is what they say:
I'VE arrived in Calgary about the goth
of December and although we had left
winter in Minnesota and Manitoba, we
were surprised to find beautiful warm
weather at this point, quite equal to
what we have in May in Minnesota.
There was no snow nor trace OF win
ter to be seen, and the climate was
really splendid. Horses, cattle and
sheep were running out in prime con-
dition, with plenty OF feed on the prai-
rie, and really better than that Of ours
stabbed in the south. We are i'm
pressed with this country as one OF the
finest mixed farming countries We
have ever seen. The immense tracts
Of fertile lands well sheltered and
abundantly watered leave nothing to
be desired.
Leaving Alberta we returned east
and visited the Yorkton district in
Assiniboia We drove out about ten
miles at this point and were highly
pleased with the splendid samples OF
grain we were able to see-wheat
yielding 25 bushels, oats GO bushels.
Roots were also good specimens. From
what we have seen. we have decided
to throw in our lot with the York
toners-satisfied that this part of the
country will furnish good opportuni-
ties for anyone anxious to make the
best of a really good country"
ANY agent of the Canadian govern
ment, whose advertisement appears else
where in the columns of your paper
will give you full particulars of the
new districts being opened out this
year in Assiniboia and Saskatchewan.
Yours truly, Old Reader.

CHINA WAR NEWS.

The state department has been made
fully acquainted by Mr.. Rockhill with
the character of the proposition as to
the floating of the indemnity loan un-
folded at Pekin. While grave obiec-
tons are perceived To the Russian pro-
iect for a joint guarantee of the loan,
because of the immense difficulty of
securing the assent of congress To an
agreement which would entangle for
more than quarter of century at
least there is nothing in Mr. Rock
hills instructions which would cause
him to antagonize the proposition,
provided it is fully developed so as to
secure the safety of the loan while as
surfing the integrity of China. 1t is
suggested that these objects can be
best secured by causing China to de-
liver to each nation bonds bearing
per cent interest TO the face value of
the nations indemnity claim. The
nation holding the bonds could dis
pose of them ut its pleasure, it could
atlix its own guarantee and sell the
bonds in the open market England,
too, is opposed to joint guarantee of
loan.
Reports have been received from Pc
kin to the effect that Field Marshal
Count Won Waldersee has informed the
Chinese that the troops will not leave
Pekin until the court returns, and he
himself is received in imperial au-
dience. The French have withdraw
from the Shansi expedition, and the
English have refused to take any part
in it. 1t is probable, therefore, that
the Germans will oe compelled TO go
alone. In spite of constant and threat
ening difficulties, Count Won Waldersee,
single handed, continues 20 maintain
the prestige of foreigners in this part
of China.
A dispatch from Tal1u says that Gen.
Chaffee was told as he was about to
leave Pekin that there were two cases
of smallpox among the Indian troops
now in camp at Tonku, where the
Americans were to proceed to board
their transports. Gen. Chaffee is now
awaiting Developments. In the event of
being held by quarantine be will prob
ably move up the Pei river for two
weeks.
The foreign ministers meeting at
Pel<in on the 29d was very unsatisfac-
tory. No power was willing to accede
to the Americans idea of reduction
of the Chinese indemnity TO $500, OO0,-
900, though Great Britain recognizes
the advisablity of some reduction.

The transportation facilities would
seem to be ample for all possible de-
mands of the mammoth crowds which
are expected at the Pan-American Ex-
position. The entire street railway
system of Buffalo, driven by the pow
er of Niagara Falls, is so laid out as
to secure direct communication from
all parts OF the city to the Exposition
grounds. AT the northern boundary
OF the grounds there has been built
fine steam railway station. A two
track steam belt line encircles the city
of Buffalo, reaching this station, and
all the steam railroads centering in
Buffalo have access to these tracks.
This means OF transportation will be
extensively used both for excursion
trains from out the city and for con-
veying people from the various parts
of the city to the grounds.

INDIAN RELICS ARE BOGUS.
southerners Doing . Profitable Business
In Their Manufacture.

There is an organized system OF i'm
position in Indian relics. Very few OF
those found in the cities were ever
seen by redskins; they are made by
wholesale for purpose Of deceiving the
credulous. One firm in North Caro-
lima does a large business in this line.
The fraud they practice is almost i'm
possible to detect SO thoroughly have
they mastered the art. Recently this
firm tried to palm off on Rev. j. II.
Frazee, ID. D., OF Knoxville, Tenn,
who is collector, some OF their goods,
but without success. Dr. Frazee re-
ceived a letter from the firm which
mentioned that his name had been
recommended by prominent physi-
elan OF Knoxville as a person who
would likely wish to buy soma relics.
They represented that they had been
making extensive collections OF all
kinds of relics and had disposed Of
some, but wished TO go out of the bust
ness, and therefore would sell relies on
hand cheap. The letter said a box OF
samples would be sent, which was
done. DR.. Frazee examined the con
tents OF the box and finding nothing
that he did not already have returned
them. Shortly afterward a man in the
west who had heard of Or. Frazee as
collector of Indian relics, wrote him,
asking that he might put him in the
way of getting some Tennessee relics.
DR.. Frazee, having given little atten-
ton to the specimens from North
Carolina, and not detecting the fraud,
recommended TO his western friend
this firm as having represented that it
had some relics for sale In a short
time the western man answered and
branded the North Carolina firm as
fragrant frauds. He had already fallen
into their trap He said the relics he
had secured from the bogus dealers of
North Carolina were difficult to detect
from the real. He had the relics in
vestigated by prominent collectors in
the west, who could not determine &C
curately as to the fraud. The relics
were then sent to government ex-
perts, who said the whole collection
was bogus The North Carolina trick
sters have probably done an extensive
usiness.-Chicago Chronicle.
