COLUMBIA WINS.
Very Close Finish In the First Race
with Shamrock II.-An Excit-
Tag Contest.

New York, Sept. 30.-The Column.
bia in the first race Of the America
cup series, IS miles to windward and
return, defeated Shamrock III. by 81
seconds actual time and one minute
and rs seconds corrected time. Both
yachts sailed well, and the Shamrock
led at the turn of the outer mark by
Al seconds.
The Shamrock took 2:24:5s to beat
Is miles to windward, which was at
the rate following that 20 miles was
7:25 per mile, or about eight knots
per hour. In the run home the CO.
lumbia covered the course of IS miles
in 2:05:30. This was at the rate of
7:17 knots per hour. The Columbia
crossed the home line 35 seconds
ahead of the Shamrock. Boat for
boat, the Columbia won by 81 sec
onds. The time allowance by the Off
cial table was 43 seconds. BY cor
rected time the Columbia won by one
minute and % seconds.
Because during IS miles of the
windward work and about IA of the
run home neither of the yachts
gained perceptible second on the
other days race between (the
Shamrock and the Columbia was so
remarkable that words fail adequate
ly to discuss it.
1t was a rec where the breeze aver
aged eight knots, taking the whole
time through. The Shamrock led by
two seconds at the start and there
after until the two were within two
miles of the turn neither of these
wonderful racers had gained percept-
IDLY so much as half second on the
other.
The Shamrock led by Al seconds at
the turn. She had gained 80 seconds
in the last two miles. But by good
seamanship Barr forced her a mile
out of her course, and then on squar-
ing away to lead of SO seconds.
In all the long run home neither
yacht gained so much as q second on
the other, and Columbia crossed 35
seconds ahead of the challenger.
Said the oldest and ablest of the
old barnacles on the press steamer
when the race was done: "Sir Thorn
as has not yet lifted the cup, but by
the great horn spoon he has set it
rocking" These are words of wis
dom. On Thursday in a breeze that
was too light to cover the course, Co
lumbia was more than a mile ahead
at the end of 5H hours. Saturday, in
a breeze averaging eight knots for
the whole course, the Columbia fin
ished four feet less than twice her
own length from bowsprit to boom
end. And because the margin be-
tween the two was so narrow 1T
shows that the races to come are
certain to be as stirring as was that
of Saturday.

BURGLARS HAVE HOT TIME.
Dynamite Safe mt Armada, Mich, and
Citizens Engage Them In
HattIe-One Is Shot.

Armada, Mich, Sept. 30.--Three bur-
glars broke into the general store of
ID. IL. Barrows, where the post Office
is located, early Saturday and dyna-
mited the safe. The explosion awak-
ened the town and a number of citi-
zens were soon on the street. In the
battle which followed one of the
burglars was fatally wounded. He
gives his name as John Graham and
says his father lives at liz Root street,
Cleveland.
The burglars left the store and start
ed for the railroad track after several
shots had been fired into them by citi-
zens. A running fight ensued, in which
Graham was wounded. His compan-
ions, however, carried him after he
fell and all three started down the
track on a hanGcar. LenoX, the next
station on the road, was notified and
posse of deputies was waiting when
the handcar came in sight.
When they discovered the officers
the unwounded men took to the woods,
leaving Graham on the car. They
escaped after running fight with the
officers, in which many shots were
fired.
Graham died of his wounds Sunday.

Canton, o., Sept. 25.-Secretary Cor
telyou came here Friday to assist Mrs
Mckinley in disposing of matters con-
nected with the late presidents es-
tate. He arrived at ten o'clock Fri.
day morning and was at once driven to
the Mckinley home. After meeting
Mrs. Mckinley the question of filing
the will was taken up. The trying
task of reading it to her was under
taken by the faithful secretary. Mrs.
Mckinley made heroic effort to bear
up and succeeded in doing so, although
the ordeal was difficult for her. All
legal formalities necessary for her to
subscribe to were disposed Of.
At three o'clock Friday afternoon
Judge Day and Secretary Cortelyou
went to the Office Of the probate judge
and offered the will of President Nc
Kinley for probate. They carried with
them the following:
"I. Ida 8. Mckinley, widow Of William
Mckinley, deceased, hereby decline the adj
ministration of his estate and recommend
the appointment of William r.. Day and
George b. Cortelyou as administrators
with the will annexed"
This recommendation bears the date
of September 81, 1901. Following is
the text of President McKinley's will:

TOMB IS ATTACKED.
Prowlers ~ VAULT In Canton cens-
terry Driven on BY = Guard--A
Sensational Incident.

Canton, O., Sept. 30.-Military men
guarding the Mckinley vault report
an attack upon the guard early Sum
day night by armed and masked men,
carrying package supposed to con-
tain explosives. 1t is thought an at
tempt was made to blow up the vault.
Guard De Prend, private in the
company of regulars from Fort
Wayne, Mich, while on duty at the
rear of the vault, about 7:45 o'clock,
noticed man peering from behind q
tree about 40 feet from the vault. He
watched 1t for 20 minutes and then
challenged the intruder, who made no
response, but lodged behind the
tree. The soldier then advanced, chal-
longing a second time, and the man
came out and ran toward De Prend,
sheltering himself behind second
tree IL feet nearer the vault.
De Prend, noticing that the fellow
was carrying package wrapped in
white in one hand and a glinting in
strument in the other, took no fur
ther chances, but brought down his
rifle and fred.
just as he did so, another man, APP
preaching from behind, and whom he
had not seen, struck up the rife and
at the same moment dealt De Prend
a terrific blow on the body with
some instrument, and second blow,
this time evidently with knife, cut
through his overcoat and blouse,
abraded the skin and sent him tum-
bling into a ravine near the vault.
Meanwhile the shot had aroused
other members of the guard. Lieut..
S. Ashbridge, officer of the day, and
others ran to the spot, but owing to
the fact that they had to climb
steep hill the marauders had disap-
peared before they arrived.
De Prend, who was recruited in
New York four months ago, is said to
be an excellent soldier. His record is
such that he is out for commission.
His superiors have not the least
cause to doubt his story. On the con-
trary, others say they saw men about
there in the evening that answer his
description. The man who attacked
De Prend was masked. The other, he
says, he could easily recognize.
Stories are afioat in the soldiers
camp that stranger was overheard
to say in the cemetery that "there
are many people who would like to
see the vault and body blown up"
While no one knows what the mo-
tive of the attack on the guard was
or what the man behind the tree had
in his package, the theory advanced
is that it was an attempt to blow
up the vault in which the presidents
body lies. Military men agree that it
looks like that. Capt. Biddle, COM
handing, after vain search of the
cemetary, has put extra guards on
duty and the entire company of rs
Is ready to turn out at any alarm. 1t
is thought by some that the intrud-
ers may have been men who broke
Jail early in the day. but the authori-
ties say the theory is hardly tenable,
as guarded cemetery would be the
last place in which fugitives from
justice would be likely to seek refuge.

THE scHLEY INQUIRY.
Capt. McCalla Admits Having Dis
obeyed Orders mt One Time
other Testimony.

Washington, Sept. 30.-Saturday's
session of the Schley court of inquiry
began as usual at IL o'clock, with the
recall of Fridays witnesses for the
purpose of correcting mistakes in
their testimony and allowing other
questions to be asked them when
necessary ~ make clear any point
which had not hitherto been sufficient
ly elucidated by them. Capt. McCalla,
who had commanded the Marblehead
during the Spanish war, then contir-
ued his testimony,
When Capt. McCalla took the stand
Mr.. Hanna asked him if there were any
ships assigned to engage the batteries
on the morning of May 81, or during
that day, to which he replied no. He
said there were no shoals or obstacles
to prevent battleships approaching the
mouth of the harbor of Santiago. OBJ
lection was made to this statement,
but overruled. Witness said he saw the
firing on the Colon and that every shot
fell short.
In a conversation with Admiral
Schley in his cabin after the battle
of Santiago, when the admiral read
to him what he understood was part
of his official report of the battle, wit
ness had said that he hoped there
would be no controversy because
there was glory enough for every
body.
On cross-examination by Mr..
Rayner, the witness said he had failed
to execute an order from Admiral
Remey delivered while he was in COM
mand off Cienfugeos and directing
that all except the smallest vessels
be withdrawn. He had, he said, failed
to leave the small vessels there.
Referring to the fact that he had
informed Capt. Chadwick, Admiral
SIMPSONS chief of staff, of the code
of signals arranged for communicate
ing with the insurgent Cubans, he
said that he did not in any way COM
municate with the commander-in-
chief, but intended the information
for Schley.
