COLUMBIA WINS A RACE.
Accident to the Constitution Cause Of Her
Defeat.

New Port, r. l., July 27-The Colum-
bia yesterday in rafting thrash to
Windward from New London to New
port, gave the Constitution beating,
the latter finishing a good third of a
mile astern of l-er antagonist and be-
Ing defeated minutes and 5 seconds.
The victory was surprising, for the
race was sailed in weather that, as a
rule, has just suited the Constitution,
the wind never exceeding twelve knots,
and the sea being comparatively
smooth. 1t was not until Newport was
! reached that an intelligent explanation
Of the result could be given. The Con-
stitution, following in the right in the
wake of the Columbia, struck twice on
ledge near the Race Rock lighthouse.
There was substantial bump on each
occasion, and after the accident the
, Constitution behaved like a lame duck.
All her old-time smartness was lack
Ing. Her speed was diminished and she
sagged off to leeward. Mr.. Duncan,
Who is in command, said last evening
that he believed some OF the plates on
the leaden keel We're wrenched off by
the force Of the impact on the hard
rock, and that these plates from the
fin acted as a drag on the yacht and
made her incapable Of showing her
usual racing form. A diver was sent
down shortly after the Constitution
vas iiAOo1cu ouL lle was uIeiDle 10 make
satisfactory examination, and Mr..
Duncan decided not to race the boat
further until she has been hauled out
and opportunity given for a thorough
investigation.
The Columbia had the best of the
start. but had it not been for another
streak of i'll fortune the Constitution
would have crossed the line first.
After passing Race Rock the Consti-
tuition showed an inability to point or
sail fast which was very astonishing
to those who have watched her from
the launching down to date. The CO.
lumbia, beautifully handled In the dead
''nose-ender" from Race Rock to Beck
on's Reef lightship;; got the Constitu-
ton under her lee and kept her there
to the finish. About fifty tacks were
made between Race Rock and Beck
on's Reef, and many miles Of blue wa
ter were wasted in keeping the Consti-
tuition blanketed.
Following is the official time:

Compose Tribunal.
WILL MEET ON SEPTEMBER IL
Judge Advocateship rendered Lemly, and
He WIN Probably Accept-"Fixht-
ing Bob's' Charges Against
Sampson.

Washington, July 27.-Secretary Of
Che Navy John d. Long has selected
Admiral Dewey and Rear Adrnirals
Kimberly and Benham as members of
the Schley court OF inquiry in the San
tlago controversy. The secretary also
rendered to Captain Samuel C. Lemiy,
Judge advocate general of the navy,
the position Of judge advocate of the
court. Captain Lemly will probably
accept the appointment.
All day Secretary Long was en-
crossed in the consideration of the de-
tails Of the court. seeking particularly
for suitable judge advocate.
1t was thought that such man had
been found in the person of COM
mander John E. Pillsbury, and it was
announced early in the day at the de-
partment that he had been selected for
the position. But later, on more ma
ture consideration, his name was aban-
doned. 1t was recalled that as COM
mander of the dynamite cruiser Vesu-
vius he had served under Sampson off
Santiago, and moreover, as equipment
officer of the Boston navy yard was
now again a subordinate Of the same
admiral. In his desire to escape all
criticism on the point of bias, Secre-
tary Long felt that there We're reasons
sufficient for looking for some man who
was absolutely ASSOCIATED from the
great controversy in any phase. Late
yesterday afternoon he decided that he
had found such an officer in the person
of Captain Samuel c. Lemly.
1t is believed Captain Lemly will con-
sent to serve.
In all the time he has been at the
head Of the legal department of the
navy, his service dating back to 1892.
Captain Lemly never has had occa sion
to pass upon any question that involved
either Sampson or Schiey in any per-
.sonal aspect.
1t is said that Rear Admiral Kimber-
ly will ask to be relieved from the de-
tail on account Of i'll health
Should he decline, the secretary will
select one of the other retired rear adj
mirals to take his place. Rear Admirals
Luce, Ramsay, Jouett, Gherardi and
Walker are some Of the names that
have been advanced for considera ton.
