THE FLYING SHAMROCK.
New Departure in Construction Of Cup
Challenger.

Glasgow, March 19.-The method
adopted by George l.. Watson in weight
ing the keel Of Shamrock IL makes an
interesting departure from his previous
work. Instead of the usual boiling of
a block Of lead to the fin, in the new
boat the manganese bronze plating has
been carried down to the point of great
est draught. and the lead, weighing
nearly ninety tons, has been run inside.
Tie advantages expected are greater
rigidity from the weight being borne in
side the frames, and less friction, owing
TO the plates having a smoother sur
face than the lead.
AS there is some question as to how
the cup challenger will fare under Brit
ish measurement rules. the Glasgow ex-
Inhibition authorities have arranged a
special prize for the yacht first home.

ST. PETERSBURG RIOTS
Over Celebrating the Death of a
Political Heroine.

st. Petersburg, Sunday, March IL
Many of the participants in the demon-
stlation in and around the square of tie
cathedral of Our Lady of Kazan, TODAY
on the anniversary of the suicide of the
girl Votrora in the political prison of the
fortress OF st. Peter and st. Paul. were
factory workers. The authorities having
anticipated trouble had made prepara-
tions for this outbreak and the riot
ers We're vigorously met a majority of
them being prevented from entering a
square. For a time, however, they
blockaded the Nehsoki prospekt.
During the disturbances. one of the
students read proclamation by the
students committee demanding the abo-
lition of the military service regulations
and jury trial for karpovich, who shot
and fatally wounded the minister of
public instruction, NJ. Bogolifio, last
month. RumOr was in general circula-
ton that two OF three persons had been
killed, but no eye witnesses of these re-
ported fatalities can be found.
A curious crowd remained in the Vi
entity of the scene of the disturbance
until late in the evening and persstently
spread reports of horror in Moscow. II
is asserted, though without demonstra-
BILE foundation, that the chief of police
was killed.

danger lies in electors waiting until the
