YACHTS AT MOORING.
Both Columbia and Shamrock Quietly
Resting at Sandy Hook

New York. Sept. 27.-The cup defender
Columbia and the challenger Shamrock
II are lying quietly at their moorings
in the bay at Sandy Hook this morning
The former flew the stars and stripes,
but the Shamrock had no flags at either
her mastheads or taft rail. There was
no intention on the part of the Aneri-
cans to send out for a spin today Cap
tain Barr had his crew a work over
hauling some of the light sails. He
said he thought the Columbia was go
ing as fast as she ever did and that
when a breeze comes she viii give
good account of herself
'.She does not need many more spins
just now he said. She is in very good
shape"
Everything was quiet on board the
Shamrock.
shortly before IL O'Clock Sir Thomas
Upton with Mr.. Jameson and Mr. Wat
son went on board the Shamrock. Be
fore leaving the Erin, Sir Thomas said
to an Associated Press representative:
while yeserday's race was not at all
a fair test of tIle Shamrock's speed, L
was very well satisfied with what she
did. What we want is a good strong
breeze and then I'm sure the Shamrock
will give a good account of herself
From an authentic course it was
learned today that there is a very
strong protest on the part of Captain
Sycamore and those in charge of the
Shamrock at which they term crOWdlnS
of the Shamrock at the start yesterday
by Captain Barr.
IF he is going to continue those tao
tics there will be serious trouble" said
the person quoted. What he did yes
terday would not be tolerated for an
instant in a race in British waters. He
must not expect US to stand it, and we
won't. Our relations with the New
York Yacht club and with the prin-
cipals in this event have been so ex-
tremely pleasant that it is to be hoped
one mans action shall not be permitted
to mar them

WANTS AMERICAN IDEAS.
Famous English Ship Builder Comes
to United States.

New York, Sept 27.-Sir Christopher
Furness, the English steel and ship
manufacturer. who arrived on the
Deutschland, in an interview is quoted
as saying.
II have not come to America to form
any steamship cOmbina tons or to
make any deals. 4 have had a num-
Der Of experts over here visiting the
ship yards and steel works have
their reports, and now I have come
myself with the idea of improving the
manufacture of steel and the building
of ships in England.
''As to the problem Of labor unions in
England, which are said to hold the
idea that an extra output per man in
terferes with competition labor in Eng
land, especially skilled labor, is realiz-
ing that it is for its best interests to
give up the idea of limiting the output
per man and also is beginning to re-
alize that much is to be feared from
competition from Germany and prin-
cipally from America
While in America the price of Ia Dor
IS higher, yet the product per man is
so much greater that labor really costs
less in the United States.
THE threatened American trade and
Industrial supremacy almost created a
panic at first, but we are aware of the
fact that we have been driven until our
backs are up against the wall. and now
we must fight.
1.-The idea of running steamships
loaded with cargo from Chicago to
Europe I consider impracticable. The
Lachine canal has a depth of only IA
feet or so, I believe, and ships can not
carry enough freight to make this
scheme profitable"

the time had arrived in the history OF
the race where more money should be

of his active ministerial career, and

tions. Several preachers received black

ing was held, the principal address was
delivered by Professor w Z. Vernon,

from the streets and put in school, de-
claring that the future of the negro
race was in the hands of the boys and
girls OF today.

Gospel, was introduced to the confer
ence and extended courtesies by his coll

ROYAL YACHT OPHIR
Came Near to Sinking Torpedo Boat
Destroyer Quail

New York, Sept. ga special to the
Times from Montreal says:
An officer of the Royal yacht Ohir is
authority for the staten ent that the
torpedo boat destroyer Quail was with
in an ace of being sunk by the Ophir in
the Gulf of st. Lawrence. The occur
renee was witnessed by the Duke and
Duchess of Cornwall, who were on deck
at the time. The Quail was ordered to
come alongside the Qphir and take off
dispatches from the duke which were
to be cabled or mailed to the king of
England
The Ophir was going at Is knots an
hour and the Quail came up at 20 knots,
the plan being to take off the bag con-
tanning the dispatches hung from
boom over the Ophir's side, while both
were at full speed. The man failed to
get off the bag and the Quail was
drawn toward the Ophir, while the water
splashed high between them.
Those on board the Ophir thought 1t
was all up with the little Quail So
close was she to the Ophir that she
fouled a rope and her stern was drawn
under the bows of the Ophir The COM
mander ordered full speed ahead, the
rope cleared itself, the destroyer got
away, and at a. 35-knot clip the Quail
proceeded to Quebec.

DEWET'S PROMISES.
TFrorn South Africa.l

GOuI4 AII1Cd-I
A Free State burgher who followed
the fortunes of the Free State COM
mandos from the beginning of the war
until recently says that not long ago
DeWet made a speech in which he in
formed his followers that he was glad
to tell them that they were no longer
fighting for their independence; that
was assured them. But they were now
struggling for compensation, which
Great Britain had refused to grant
when she was forced to concede indie

who had baSely surrendered without
fighting or who had betrayed their
country by joining the British. Quite
lately, says this gentleman, Steyn was
reelected president, but very few
burghers were able to take part in the
election. He carries a rifle wherever he
goes, but he has not been known to use
it. OF all the arms the Boer has the
greatest respect for the infantry. They
declare that they are not to be denied
For the mounted infantry, colonial and
regular they have a fairly good opin-
ion. They say that the colonials are the
better scouters, but the regulars are
the better fighters. With regard to the
artillery, they are of the opinion that at
the beginning of the war they were be-
yond comparison, but that latterly they
had fallen off considerab bly,. This, with
unconscious conceit, they put down to
the fact that they have shot all the
best gunners. But the real reason is
that in the earlier stages of the war
they offered a better target for our ar
tillery. Now they seldom remain on a
kopje long enough for our artillery TO
get the range.
