SIR THOMAS Upton TEyED
By the Result of the Races Of
His Yachts Monday.
SHAMROCK u
IS THE BETTER BOAT
He Is Anxious to See Her In the
Drydock.


London, Eng, May 14.-Sir Thomas
Upton returned to London this morn
ing, chagrined by the result of yester.
days race; but he is confident the
Shamrock III is the better boat, and
thoroughly believes something has gone
wrong. He is anxious to see her in
drydock.
It is Just possible the Shamrock
may cross the Atlantic, but Sir
Thomas Lipton does not entertain any
idea Of substituting the old for tie
new boat in the cup races, being
certain Mr.. Watson's creation, in the
long run, will prove superior to Mr..
Fife's.
SHAMROCK CANNOT BE SUBSTITUTED.
New York, May According to
the deed OF gift Of the America s cup
to the New York Yacht Club, it would
appear that the Shamrock canuot be
substituted for the Shamrock III In this
years contests for the Americas cup.
One clause of the deed of gift resos:
"No vessel which has besn defeated in
a match for this cup can be again
selected by any club as it's rerre-
sentative until after a contest for it
by some other vessel has iptervened, or
until after the expiration OF two years
from the time OF such defeat. %

ALLEGED RAILROAD PROJECT
Rumor That Pennsylvania May
Use B. & o. Tracks
FOR EXPRESS TRAINS
THROUGH WILMINGTON
Elevated Road Scheme May be
Abandoned.
There Are Few Grade Crossings on the
Baltimore g. Ohio Route Through This
City, and They Can Easily be Abolished
The Station at Front and French.

The Pennsylvania Railroad Co. having
obtained control of the Baltimore &
Ohio system, it Is rumored that there
Is probability Of the former company
abandoning it's intention TO build an
elevated railroad In this city and
arranging to run through express trains
between New-York and Washington over
the Philadelphia division of the b. &
o. road. The object OF the pennsyl-
vania Co. In planning the elevated road
was to get a line through the city at
which trains could be run at good
speed, whereas at present slow running
is necessary on account of the many
grade crossings and because the line
passes through large section Of the
business part OF the cjty at grade.
The Baltimore 4 Ohio Co. is not
confrnnted with these difficulties, SO
far as the route through Wilmington is
concerned. Practically al, OF the road
through the, city is either above or
below grade. except at two CROSSINGS
Second street and lowering avenue,
and it would be nm easy matter to
make changes at both Of those crossings
which would carry both thoroughfares
under the railroad From Second street
to Eleventh the road runs through a
deep cut and is elevated over the streets
above Eleventh. This gives the com
pany almost clear and uninterrupted
right of way through the city and
much better time can be made than IL
the road was at grade. Consequently,
express trains lose very little time IN
passing through Wilmington, as the
only stop is at Delaware avenue

Eleventh street .and Delaware avenue
and extends from Adams to jackson,
is to become Park Place in the near
future. Notice Of the proposed change
was given at the meeting Of the Street

whole thoroughfare the same name.
The matter was brought up informally
some time ago, and it was then sug-
gested that the numbered streets 10 the
Highlands be given new names. as
they are not in line with thenumbered
streets in tho Ninth ward, but NO
action has been taken in that matter.

INDEMNITY CLAIM.


Washington, July 10.-The Chinese
government, through Minister WI
Ting-fang, has filed claim for in
demnity to the amount Of 100000
on account of alleged outrageous
treatment of Chinese at Butte, Mont.
There is a suggestion Of boxer out
RACES reversed in the presentation Of
the case to the state department, the
treatment inflicted upon the Chinese
at Butte being claimed to have been
cruel and oppressive. 1t is charged
that some of them were killed, that
others lost their property, that near
" all were ruined in business and
that many of them were driven out.
The claimants number several hun
dred.
The outrages date back to 1886 and
it is declared that the city council
of Butte upheld the rioters and the
boycotters; that the state courts
upon appeal decided in language SO
uniudcial as to be itself subject
of complaint, that the city council
was right and finally that relief
could be obtained only measurably
through an appeal to the United
States circuit court. The claim
raises some novel and some extreme
ly interesting points Of international
law,
