SHAMROCK II MUCH IMPROVED.
Outsafled the Old Cup Challenger in
the Easicst Sort of Way.

ROTHESAY, FIRTH OF CLYDE, June
29.-The Shamrock II and Shamrock had
their first trial this afternoon since the
former was wrecked. A steady twelve to
fourteen knot breeze was blowing when the
sails. Before they were out In the bay jib
headed topsails were set and the boats
reached out together in great form. The
Kariad, under similar canvas, accompanied
the Shamrocks. but the latter Immediately
took the lead and the Karad quit
The sea fairly smooth, and the
Shamrock III pulled ahead and led the way
round Bogany point. gradually increasing
the gap until she was three lengths ahead.
The boats then started sheets and reached
along the Butte shore from Bogany to AS
cog. three miles. They had fair racing
trial, and the challenger dropped the older
boat in a fashion she has never before been
able to accomplish.
Over the three miles the challenger OPEN
ed out big lead. probably OF from a min
ute to a minute and a half She was then
thrown into the wind to await the older
boats coming up.
The two yachts were afterward sent off
toward Fairlie. They started even and
close-hauled. On the fetch out the chal-
lenger opened cut all the time, and, carry
ing her canvas with her lee rail well clear
OF the water. she set a pace which the
former challenger was quite unable to
keep.
The new canvas of the Shamrock III set
to perfection. The new mast also seemed
stiff enough to stand the strain.
The result of the days sailing is re-
garded by yachtsmen here as indicating
that the challenger Is considerably i'm
proved boat.

ADMISSION TO WEST POINT.
Secretary Root Explains His Order
Regarding Examinations.

Secretary Root Explains His Order
Regarding Examinations.
Secretary Root has written letter to
a correspondent who complained about the
recent order for the West Point examina-
tions This correspondent was under the
impression that the Secretary's order fixing
a high school course as the basis Of ex-
animation declared that none but high
School graduates could be admitted to the
academy, and said it would bar out many
boys, especially from the south. Secre-
tary Root said the report was erroneous
and the gentleman was misinformed, and
added mo such order or no such ruling
has been made. On the contrary. any boy
who can pass the entrance examination
can be admitted Not only is 1t not requir-
ed that a candidate should be graduate
of high school. but it Is not required that
he should even have attended high
school. The amendment to the examina
tion rules was designed. not to make it
more difficult, but to make it more easy
for the generality Of boys who are indus
trious and Intelligent to secure admission
to the academy
The only change in the matter Of ex-
aminations is to require candidates to have
the educational qualifications usually pos
sessed by graduates Of high schools.

BALTIMORE TUNNEL CAVE-IN
ROOF OF UNDERGROUND WAY OF
PENNSYLVANIA ROAD FALLS.
Narrow Escape of Express Train
Passengers, but Fortunately
No One Was Hurt.

BALTIMORE, June 29-The roof of the
Union railroad tunnel in the eastern sec
ton of the city. used and controlled by
the Pennsylvania Railroad Company, caved
in shortly before o'clock this morning. 1t
Is supposed that defect in the arch of the
tunnel caused the accident.
A narrow escape from death or serious
injury was experienced by the passengers
and crew of an express train, which was
caught by the falling debris in the tunnel.
The train was the regular northbound ex-
press. which leaves Union station at :OS
o'clock in the morning, consisting of three
baggage and express cars and three pas
senger coaches. As far as can be learned
the avalanche of earth and rocks caught
the rear express car. which was Immediate
ly In front of the passenger cars. The
train was not running at high rate OF
speed and the jar was not severe. The
engineer quickly brought his train to full
stop, and word was sent from a signal
tower to Union station. A yard engine
was sent into the tunnel and the thinly
filled passenger coaches were drawn back
to Union station without the occupants
being aware of the danger through which
they had passed. The houses on each side
seem perilously close to the brink, and
should any further cave-in occur they
must be precipitated into the cavity below.
The Pennsylvania railroad officials made
arrangements to use the Baltimore and
Ohio tracks from Bay View junction to
Mount Royal station. Through passengers
from the north and south are being trans
ferred between Union and Mount Royal sta
tons by 'busses.
The accident caused no inconvenience to
railroad officials in this city, and the trains
left on time today usual. 1t did affect
the trains coming this way. because they
were compelled to switch from the Penn
sylvania Railroad Company's tracks to
those of the Baltimore and Ohio outside of
Baltimore. reaching the latter road over the
stock yard branch tracks. This transfer
necesstated passing through the Baltimore
and Ohio tunnel and over the tracks Of this
read as far as Bay View. About one hours
time is lost in making the transfer
At the depot in this city 1t was stated
that an engine and several express cars
were caught In the tunnel at the time the
accident happened. but nobody was in
iured.

JAPAN's CLAIM FoR INDEMNITY.
Under the Circumstances She Thinks
1t Should Be Increased.

Under the Circumstances She Thinks
1t Should BE Increased.
The Japanese minister was at the State
Department today in connection with
Japans proposition that her share Of the
Chinese indemnity be increased, so that
when the indemnity bonds are negotiated
Japan will receive the full amount Of her
expenditures during the trouble in China
When Japan originally presented her bill,
it was with the expectation that there
would be joint guaranty Of the bonds. in
which case they would have brought par
Japan. therefore, submitted her bill on the
basis Of actual cash spent during the war,
making a total Of about 46O0O.OO0 yen, or
23,00O.O COO, Now, however, as there is to
be no joint guaranty, and each govern
ment must float It's bonds on it's own ac-
count. it is contended that Japan will sus-
tain loss of about S,OO0,0OO yen, or $4,OOO,-
600
AS Japan madece her bill on the basis
Of actual money expended, she does not
feel that there should be loss Of 81 600, 900
simply because Of the method which the
powers have adopted In eXacting the in
demnity. The United States government
has been rather loath to approve the in
crease asked for by Japan, as it might lead
to opening up the subject and inducing
other nations to make similar requests.
Still 1t Is believed that there will be no
formal objection from this government in
case Japan secures the assent of the other
governments to the increase. The feeling
among officials here is that it is quite nat
ural that Japan should try to recoup her
self for money actually spent.
