is greater than many persons can COM
ceive, for with the team leading in the
pennant race, as it Is at present, at least
$1,000 persons would have witnessed
games played on Saturday.
Roughly estimated, it is figured that
at least $4,000 has melted away as re-
suit Of rain or the wet condition of this

The Pittsburg club figures that it has
lost at least $4,000 SO far. At any rate
Barney Dreyfus says that the receipts
for the first three weeks were $4,000 less
than last year. It is almost impossible
to make up this loss, as when two
games are played in an afternoon it il

Pleased That They Will Race

New York, Sept. AFTER waiting
three hours for a breeze 1t was decided
not to take the Shamrock out for trial
spin Thursday. At noon the Associated
Press dispatches announcing that the
Columbia had been selected to defend
the cup was handed to Sir Thomas
Upton. After reading It he said.
Il thank you for the information OF
course, | shall abide by any decision
the committee may make. | am sure
they made proper selection, for | know
their judgment is correct. All | want
is to sail the Shamrock against the
fastest boat in America. and, IL it is the
Columbia we are ready. | am glad 1t
has been made.
Captain Sycamore seemed pleased.
I'VE have thought all along she would
be the boat. and | am sure anything
that the New York Yacht club does Is
satisfactory"
There seems to be jubllant feeling
among the crew of the Shamrock at the
selection Of the Columbia. They have
not much to say, but it is plain they
feel much encouraged at the prosnect Of
meeting the old defender, for IT, DO
not believe she has improved enol to

CONSERVATION Seizes the American
Colony, and the Sorrow There Is
Deep and ACKNOWLEDGMENT Press
Have Kind Words to Say.

Paris, Sept. THE Americans In
Paris and the French people learned
the news of the attempt on the life OF
President Mckinley this morning.
Even Ambassador Porter was not
aware until today Of the tragedy that
had been enacted in Buffalo. He re-
tired early last evening. being fatigued
and not feeling well, and he was not
disturbed in the absence of an official
dispatch. A dispatch was sent to Pres
ident Loubet, at Rambouillet, late last
night. and was not delivered until to-
day. The news spread through Paris
with the rapidity Of a whirlwind, and
it was discussed to the exclusion of
every other topic, not merely by Amer
leans. but Parisians. There are many
Americans stopping in Paris for few
days, on their way home, from other
European countries, and every hotel
courtyard has its group, earnestly dis
cussing the tragedy. The United
States embassy and the consulate are
besieged by callers seeking informa-
ton, while In front of the New York
Herald's Office was great crowd
awaiting bulletins Of the latest condi-
ton OF tho president
Expressions of sympathy from
Frenchmen are emanating from every
side from the highest to the lowest,
and everyone Is anxious to express
deep regret and adherence at the
crime. McKinley's name and charac-
ter are quite familiar to the Parisians
His honorable career has frequently
been dwelt upon by the press, and has
made him the popular president. A
majority OF the newspapers published
portraits this morning of Mr.. and Mrs
Mckinley.
Everywhere In Paris Americans con-
gregated at hotels, cafes and other
public places tonight, and the sole
object Of conversation continued to
be tho attempt upon President Nc
kinley's life. More reassuring cable
grams were received this morning, and
when they became known caused the
greatest satisfaction. United States
Ambassador Porter's latest advices in
spired him with hope that Mr.. McKin-
ley's robust constitution would pull
him through. Dispatches from the
provinces show that the news of the
crime created a profound impression
throughout the country.

DEEP IMPRESSION
CREATED THROUGH
ALL GERMANY
Government Entertains Warm Re-
gard for the Stricken President
Considers Him Friend of Peace
Berlin Press Execrate Deed.

Berlin. Sept. THE tragedy at Buff
falo has made a deep impression.
While the Germans at first knew the
president as the author OF the Mckin-
ley bill, which was regarded as es-
pecially aimed at Germany, and dis
liked him, the dislike has given place
to a more friendly feeling. and during
the past few years the papers have
said many pleasant things about him.
1t Is q striking fact that the German
press. although generally ready to
impute corruption to every American
statesman. never assailed Mckinley
personal purity and frequently within
the past year or two recognized him as
the friend of peace. with favoring
good relations with other nations, and
as being check upon the American
lingo element. The German govern
ment entertains a warm regard for the
president, and his late utterance was
regarded as opening still more
pleasant chapter In the relations OF
the two countries.
The German press, In It's references
to Roosevelt. recognizes his ability
and civil service reform work, and the
German who know him highly respect
his character. energy and independ-
ence.
All the evening papers have SYM
pathetic comment on the attack on
President Mckinley. The Neuste
Nachrichten says.
The whole civilized world receives
the news of the latest anarchist crime
with the deepest eNecration. With
this general indignation is united sym
