INDEPRN DENCE DEFEATED
COLUMBIA OUTSAILED HER BY
 OYER EYE MINUTES.
Made Good Race, However-Saiied When the Wind Freshoned-Gnined d able to Set Her Spinn aker r- El mi In n Runs Away from the Qutssetta.

Newport, R. l., Aug. 1.-The Indepen- dence had an opportunity to-day to show her mettle. Although defeated by the Columbia, she was by no means dis braced. Over a triangular ocean course of thirty miles in breeze light at the start and fresh at the finish the con- queror of the Shamrock I. beat her on elapsed time four minutes and forty three seconds and five minutes and fourteen seconds on corrected time. The first ten miles of the course was beat to windward. The Columbia at one time was nearly half a mile in the lead, but as the wind freshened the Indepen- dence pulled up considerably. Then came run down the wind with the breeze on the starboard quarter. The Independence was left far astern by the Columbia in this leg. Her sails seemed to be badly trimmed at first, and intellectual attempts to set the spin banker caused her to lost valuable time.
 In the second mark to the finish off Brenton's Reef lightship it was reach with the wind a little before the port beam. In this leg the Independence did her best work of the day. She gained one minute and forty mine seconds on the Columbia. She was heeling over considerably at times and going very fast This is evidently her best point of sailing. Taking q broad view of the race, the Independence has little to be ashamed of. She sailed the last leg of the course-ten nautical miles-in for ty-five minutes and forty-five seconds, or better than thirteen knots an hour. Her owner, MT. Lawson, did not see the race, but his steam yacht Dreamer went over the course.
 The Vigilant won the cup for yawls and the Elmina the cup for schooners About dozen steam yachts accompa- nied the racers over the course.
 The Independence was measured by John Hyslop, the measurer of the New York Yacht club before she was lowed out of the harbor this morning About four tons of lead had been taken out of her, consequently her waterline length was reduced to SS03 feet, fourteen inches less than the Columbia's. MT. Hyslop figured out her racing length at 102 79 feet and calculated that she must

Bumbardment of the Heavens at Lin-

Lincoln, Neb., Aug. 1.-The lombard ment of the heavens with gunpoWder, in an effort to bring rainfall, begun last night by w. F.. Wright, was con tinued until o'clock this morning, without producing the desired result. At that hour, when according to MT. Wright's theories, conditions were most favorable, his twenty-five assist ants, each firing a mortar, deserted him, and he was obliged to postpone operations until this afternoon, when he secured new help and will continue the bombardmet through another night. Lincoln is greatly in need of rain. The temperature ascended to a maximum of 1O1 to-day and hot south wind has been blowing.

FOR THE BICENTENNIAL.
THE CITY'S PART IN THE ETC YALE
 CELEBRATIdN.
The Committee Is Planning for Grand Electric Illumination of the Central Green Elaborate Decorations and Band Concerts-Finance Board to be Asked to Appropriate $I,75O.

| The common council committee ap-
 pointed to arrange for the city gov ernment's co-opera tiOn in the Yale bi-
 centennial celebrat ton next October | held a meeting yesterday afternoon in 1 the aldermans chamber in city hall. George D. Foote, foreman of general
 construction of the Southern New 1 England Telephone company, who had | charge of the electrical illumination
 on the green at the time when the fire
 chiefs convention was held here, had
 been requested by the committee to submit plans for similar illumination of the central green evenings during the bi-centennial celebration. MT,
 Foote submitted plans at yesterdays
 meeting, which will probably be adopt
 ed with some slight modification The
 plans provide for an illumination of
 the entire lower part of the green be-
 tween Temple and Church streets. The central piece of the illumination will
 be the liberty pole, which will be deck ed in handsome designs in colored elec- tric lights and radiating in all direc- tions from this to the farthest boun- daries of the lower section of the green will be festooned strings of lights. At each side of the liberty pole will be suspended large pictures of President Hadley and Mayor Studley. illuminated with electric lights and surrounding each picture will be the words New Haven n''-"Yale'' in letters of which will be formed by incandescent lights.
 The committee on decorations re- ported and recommended that the four sides of the green, on Church, Elm, College and Chapel streets, be set with posts about twenty feet apart decorat- ed in buntings, alternate posts con- taining large colored representations of the seal of the city and of the univer- sity
 The recommendation was favorably received by the committee and will doubtless be adopted.
 In addition to these plans it has been practically decided to have band con- certs on the evenings of October 21, P and 23, the days of the celebration, the concerts to be given on the central green The present plan is to have the illuminations last the three nights
 The committee yesterday decided to recommend to the court of common council the passage of a resolution re- questing the board of finance to appro- priate from the contingent fund an amount not to exceed $1,750 to pay the expense of the city's part in the cele- bration. It is estimated that the il- will cost S1,000, the super of the illumination by MT. 1 Foote $100, the decoration $500 and the band concerts $160, although it is ex- pected that some of these figures may be scaled down.
 The resolution will be presented at the meeting of the aldermen Monday | nj ph

Lincoln, Neb., Aug. Tn his com ment on the naval controversy, w J. Bryan takes the side of Rear Admiral Schley, giving him credit for the vic- tory at Santiago and declaring it a pity that there should be any con- troversy that seeks to discredit brave, honorable and modest sea fighter, who successfully led the American forces in one of the greatest, if not the greatest naval battles in the history of the world"
 MT Bryan denounces the Maclay his tory of the struggle and thinks it strange that a historian finds it neces- sary Ito resort to the lowest form of abuse in dealing with a historical char acter," adding: 'As q clerk in the navy yards, he should be displaced because of his outrageous assaults upon man who has been the patient victim of the most remarkable series of attacks re- corded in American history" Further reports regarding Admiral Schleys

Salt Lake Utah. Aug 1. When shown the Washington dispatch stating that the war department would take cognizance of the published interview regarding the court of inquiry, upon his father, Rear Admiral Schley, Captain Thomas F. Schley, who is stationed at Fort Douglas in this city, stated to-day that the interview, as published. was wholly unauthorized.
 "All I said in the natter continued Captain Schley, was that I was natur- ally a Schley partisan. and hoped my father would be fully vindicated. Sure ly there is nothing improper in son wishing his father success. I positive ly declined to enter into a discussion of the merits of the controversy. In the first place I am not competent to dis cuss the case because I know nothing of it. My father has never spoken of the matter to me and has never men toned 1t in his letters. If my father has anything up his sleeve he has not notified me of the fact"
