HAVE A FAMILY COUNSEL.
Says Boers Don't Know Enough to Cut
 Their Own Hay.

New York, July 27.-Rudyard Kip ling has written for the imperial South African association what he calls a ssTract for the Times on the Science or Rebellion,n according to dispatcn 10 the Tribune from London. The tract is directed mainly against the Bund, which is described as seeking to attack England through her pocket ana keep Cape Colony on the seesaw, filling It with rumor and unrest, sympathizlng here and suggesting there just enough to force the British government 10 grant amnesty to the rebels and recruit the Dutch party for further constitu- tional warfare The logic of the pam phlet is that it is assumed in Cape Town that the liberal opposition will save the Bund and South Africa. for the Bund if only the commanders make the war expensive, and that the Boer marauders, north and south. are work ing for a common object, namely. the manufacture of pro-Boers in England by doubling the income tax and by throwing asdelicate gloom over every aspect of the situation. The Canadian is represented by Kipling as making these acrid remarks:
 eve needn't suspend the constitu- ton for keeps. but we ought to have a family council-Canada, Australia and England, I mean, and hang the whole show up for two years till our erring sister has got over her hysteria. A constitution for a country that don't know enough to cut it's own hay, where I've had to lie out for year in the open for fear the pious voter would blow up the railway bridges behind memo, sir"

SHAMROCK SETS SAIL
The Racer Is Now On Her Way
 To New York.

Sir Thomas Boarded the Yacht in
 Company With Mir Watson-Many
 Persons Gathered to Give Sir Thom-
 as a Send Off-He Gathered His
 Crew About Him and Gave a Part
 ing Cheer.
 Gourock. July 27.-The Shamrock II, accompanied by the Erin, sailed at 1920 o'clock this morning for New York. Great enthusiasm was display ed as the challenger departed. Captain Sycamore desired to go out under canvass, and he was favored with a light, easterly wind. sufficient to keep the flags streaming in the dl- rection the yachts had to sail. Ihe challenger cut strange figure with her stunted spars and scanty canvass as she lay ready to start. At 1e o'clock Sir Thomas Lipton and MT Watson boarded her; and few minutes later the challenger's moorings were slipped Eel headsails brcker out and she slIp- ped away on her voyage across the At lantic.
 Thousands of persons gathered along the shore and on the pier at Gourock and greeted the yachts departure with a great outburst of cheering, again and again renewed. Hats and handkes- chiefs were waved, guns saluted and steam whistles and sirens shrieked. The Shamrock's crew were all mus tered on deck and, led by Sir Thomas, gave hearty response to the greetings. For miles along the shore crowds cc- supied every vantage point, and the cheers passed from group to group until the challenger, with her racing flag at the masthead, and the Erin, with the Stars and Stripes flying at her forehead, disappeared from sight.
 Sir Thomas Lipton remained aboard the challenger until she was off Cum braes, when he returned on tug. Be fore leaving he addressed the chal- lenger's crew, thanking them for what they had already done and wishing them God-speed on the voyage and successful finish of their task.
 He said they had the best boat it was possible to provide for them, and that MT Watson had done his part well, partly for love of his profession and parly for love of the old flag the boat went to represent. They had stiff fight before them, continued Sir Tho mas, but the opponents they went to meet were generous. Whatever the re- suit of the races might be, he knew the best yacht would win, and if any favor were shown it would not be to the disadvantage of the British boat.

THE NEW MAINE
The Big Battleship Launched
 To-Day.
SEND OFF WAS SUCCESSFUL.

The New Battleship Is Bigger, Strong
 CT and Faster Than Her Namesake
 Which Was Blown Up in Havana
 Harbor-AIiss Mary Preble Ander-
 son of Portland Christened the Yes
 selAThe President Was Unable to
 Attend.
 Philadelphia, July 27.-The battle ship Maine, designed to De plssl' stronger and faster than her naLne- sake. whose shapeless mass still lies i'm the harbor of Havana, was launched from the yards of the William Cramp Ship and Engine Building Co today. The launching was a success ID every way.
 Launching of warships at Cramps $ have been so frequent that, III lase wears. such events have lost much or their attractiveneSs. The presence or the immense crowd at to-day's cnrls- tening was largely due to the fact tnal the new shop bears the name or the ill-fated Maine. Kensington, the great industrial section, wherein the Shlp- yard is located, took holiday anu al- tended the launching. The yard was
  vantage point swarmed with huInanl- ty. The weather was perfect
 Although the number of invited guests was not as large as usual, there was a good attendance of naval ana civilian officials. The state of Maine was officially represented by Governor Hill and members of his staf. From Washington came Rear Admirals Bradford. Melville and Walker, Lieu tenant Commander Bailey, Captain Leary. former governor of Guam, and a number of bureau chiefs of the navy department.
 President Mckinley and Secretary of Navy Long. Admiral Dewey, Cap tain Sigsbee and other naval dlgnl- taries who received invitations were unable to attend It was the intention to have some of the survivors of the Maine witness the launch, but none were present.
 The honor of christening the vessel was given to Miss Mary Preble Ander- son of Portland, Me. descendant or the Preble family that had added fame to the naval hOnors of the country. Next to the ship itself, Miss Anderson was the center of interest and her every movement was closely followed. At 1925 Miss Anderson stepped upon the stand that had been erected at the bow of the hull. She was escorted by Henry s. Cramp and was accompanied by Governor Hill his staff, her par ents and several other members Of her family. Before sle arrived the knock ing away of the blocks from under the great mass of steel had begun, and all was ready when the tide slacked. Then the shoe piece, the last timber that held the ship, was sawed in twain and the vessel began to move. Before she had receded a foot Miss Anderson struck the bow of the Maine a blow with the bottle of champagne and for mally christened her. As the vessel slid off the ways a great shout went up and every steam craft in the vicln- ity began the footing of whistles. The Maine after she had reached mid stream was taken in tow by several tugs and brought to the shore
 After the launch an informal lunch was served in the mould loft of the ship yard
 The Maine is 56 per cent finished. Her keel was laid in April, 1899, and the ship is expected to be ready for transfer to the government in eighteen -Vonths or two years time.
