Reception to Sir Upton.
At the New York Yacht club Secre-
tary Oddie said Saturday that all the
business of the various committees
had been completed and there was no
necessity for them to meet again. Be-
yond the reception to Sir Thomas
Upton at the Yacht club on Tuesday,
no arrangements for his entertain
ment had been made. Asked ii there
was any truth in the rumor that the
boats crews would be exchanged and
a new series of races sailed under
those conditions, Mr.. Oddie said that
he did not know of any such arrange
ment, and did not think there was
one.
Glory in Defeat.
New York, Oct. IA dispatch to
the Herald from London quotes the
Daily Mail as saying: ''Sir Thomas
Upton has, if we may use the Irish
like expression, scored splendid fail
ure. His countrymen on this side of
the ocean, and doubtless Canadians
and others, have already extended to
him admiring sympathy. His coun-
trymen are fully alive to the great
service he has rendered manly, ad-
venturous, national pastime, the pas
time of a people who have made his
tory upon the seat"
Poor Outlook for Future Contests.
New York, Oct. THE London cor
respondent of the Tribune quotes a
prominent English yachtsman as say
ing that renewed attempt to cap
ture the Americas cup had been
made improbable fora long time to
come owing to the general disap-
pointment in Great Britain over the
result of the latest international
yacht races. "Sir Thomas Upton will
not try again." he added, land there
is no other British yachtsman with
money to spare for so extensive an
enterprise, hence the cup will remain
in America for another decade"

Mr.. Rayner, Schley's Counsel.

Washington, Oct. Lieutenant
Commander Hodgson, formerly navi-
gator of Commodore Schley's flagship,
the Brooklyn, continued his testimony
before the Schley court of inquiry Sat-
urday, after some of the other wit
nesses of Friday had. beenvgiyen an
opportunity to correct their testi-
mony. When'the court adjourned Fri
day night Commander Hodgson was
in the hands of Judge Advocate Lem
", whose examination of him partook
very largely of the nature of cross
examination. This was due to the fact
that Mr.. Hodgson had been called by
both sides of the controversy and2was
considered even more Schley witness
than, government witness. Capt.
Lemly and Mr.; Hanna continued the
inquiry for the government at the be-
ginning of the sitting Saturday, after
which Mr.. Rayner began series of
questions intended to presents the
Schley side of the conduct ofs$the
Brooklyn during not only the battle of
July 3, but of the entire Santiago cam
paign. Mr.. Hanna's inquiries were de-
voted partly to developing more of the
details concerning the bombardment
of the Spanish ship Cristobal Colon on
May 81. The entire correspondence
between Commander Hodgson and
Commodore Schley was also put in as
evidence. g.
The court began it's session Saturday
with the understanding that there
would be only one sitting. This agree
ment was reached Friday and was
brought about by the fact that the
members of the court and counsel find
themselves greatly fatigued by the
exacting nature of their work and the
continuous sessions of the court.
The Sampson Episode.
There is much interest in Fridays
episode concerning Admiral Sampson,
and there is still doubt as to whether
he will be a witness. 1t will remain
with Admiral Schley and his counsel
to say for what day, if for any, he shall
be called. The controversy as to the
admiral's meaning in his 'Dear
Schley" dispatch of May 20 has in
no wise been abated by the tentative
agreement as to his being summoned.
Counsel on both sides Saturday morn
ing had before them copies of the dis
patch and each was trying strenuously
to bring the other to their view of the
case.

Britannia Majesty's settlement IN the
Bay OF Honduras" In 1867, ourins

her alleged possessions "a colony OIL

This has been held by nearly every
American statesman to have been d
clear violation of that clause OF the
Clayton Bulwer treaty which says tnat

Britain shall occupy or fortlfy or colo-
nize or assume to acquire any 40

friction when congress at it's next ses-
sion denounces the Clayton bul"er

shington. March 13.-The presi-
dent is still porting over the reply from
Great Britain. 1t was explained to
him from Hays view, and the question
is still unsettled as to what. if any,
step shall be taken to reopen negotia-
tons.
There is good authority, however.
for the statement that Secretary Hay
will be asked to make representation
to the British foreign Office to the ef-
feet that even if the Clayton Bulwer
treaty is not void. it is voidable by
reason of its violation in several in
stances by Great Britain. Secretary
Hay, if the president determines upon
this line of action. will thus be forced
back to the position held by his prede-
ccssors Frelinghuysen and Sherman.
In view of probable negotiations to
prove that Great Britain has violated
the Clayton Bulwer treaty in such a
manner as to make it voidable, it will
be of interest to recall the most fla
grant case of violation.

treaty there was little settlement of

appropriate thus to begin the New Year
with the new life of nature in tha
awakening spring. At this season all

The ancients also showed their
sagacity and appreciation of the great

time for renewed life and energy in the
human system. They we'll knew that
the blood should be cleansed from
impurities and the nerves re-invigo-

OOINGS OF THE LAW MAKERS,
ILLINOIS
Wednesday, March IL.

Both reapportonment bills were de-
feated in the house. The congressional
bill lacked two of the necessary majority:
the material bill lacked eleven. A spark
of life is held in each by the usual mo-
lions to reconsider. The outlook for any
kind of reapportionment at this session
is now dark. Representative Curtis has
introduced a resolution for sine die adj
journmcnt April 10. which will probably
be passed, and in which the senate will
undoubtedly concur. 1t leaves only a
month more of the session, barely time
for the appropriation and other cmer-
gcncy bills. Reapportionment having had
its chance other questions will now get
the attention due them
