WILL NOT BE A SCHOONER.
Shamrock III. Will Be a Steel Gutter
 Similar to the Other Racers.

New York, September 10-The idea mooted in New York that the Shamrock III will be a schooner is unfounded She will be a steel cutter very similar to the recent cup racers in type and general ap- pearance
 Sir Thomas Lipton takes exception to the suggestion that he compels American designers to continue the production of freak boats. He admits that there is considerable freak in the racer for the Americas cup, but contended that this is entirely due to the conditions im- posed by the rules governing cup con tests. Sir Thomas says Messrs. Fife and Watson would be glad to have the chance of turning out a healthy, radical boat. but under the present conditions it would have no chance.
 Sir Thomas Lipton, accompanied by Captain Wringe and William Fife, the yacht designer, visited the Denny's yards at Dombarton this afternoon and had a long interview with the heads of the firm, fixing the details regarding the building of the Shamrock III. A long time was spent in the shed under which the last cup challenger was built and which is carefully guarded from outsid- CTS. Work is now progressing therein and 1t was apparently very interesting to the Lipton party.

MIR. MONEY TAKES HARD RAPS AT
 ROOSEVELT.
SAYS HIS TRIP THROUGH THE SOUTH WILL AMOUNT TO NoTH- ING POLITICALLY, AS OTHERS BEFORE HIM HAVE TRIED IT.
BY PATTERSON sTEAlEY.

Washington September 10.--(Special)- Senator Hernando D. Money of Missis- sippi. who was caller at democratic congressional headquarters today, was asked what political effect the Presi- dents southern tour would have.
 'tThe people of the south," said Mir. Money, "honor the office MT. Roosevelt holds and respect a president, but they do not necessarily assemble to see MT. Roosevelt, as an individual or as a rep resentative of the republican party when he travels in our section.
 '~rhere is one thing want to say in this connection. noticed that in one of his speeches in North Carolina, during his trip, he spoke of tlse Confederate vet erans with great respect, because, as he said, they had performed their duty as their conscience directed. Now, all this talk is very nice for MT. Roosevelt, but not a Confederate veteran of the south is likely to forget that when Mr. Roose- welt referred to the old boys in gray before Grand Army meeting some time ago he called the soldiers of the south during the civil war anarchists Do you suppose that Mr. Roosevelt can pop uAdA t1S lliAioSil dilOl6 the ptOplt CA luS south by the use of any such expression as that? In my opinion, 1t is calculated to create a very unfriendly sentiment against our President. It also appears that 1t makes a great difference to MT. Roosevelt whether he is addressing one or another class of our people,
 MT. Roosevelt Is not likely to gain any thing by meandering about the country as he does. Benjamin Harrison tried it and was defeated when he came up for reelection afterward. Horace Greeley tried 1t and made some very fine speeches during his tour, but he was swamped Circling the country by pres idents does not pay"
 Regarding the intention of the Pres ident to build up a white party in the south in order to secure white delegates to the next republican national conven- tion who cannot be purchased, MT. Money said:
 '"rhe President cannot make an effect i've Roosevelt organization in the south. It will be bought up just as the negroes are bought up. White men in the south who affiliate with the republican party can be purchased as readily as the blacks. I am judging by conditions which prevail in my own state. When ever a Missippian goes into the republi- can party he does so for the benefit of his pocket and nothing else"

FAREWELL TRIBUTE
 TO FRANK SARGENT
BROTHERHOOD OF LOCOMOTIVE FIREMEN ESCORT THE cOMMIs- SioNER OF IMMIGRATION TO THE RAILWAY STATION.

Chattanooga, September 10. The Brotherhood of Locomotive Bremen con- vened at o'clock this morning and im- mediately adjourned to escort former Grand Master Frank P. Sargent to the depot. The entire convention drew up in line at the depot and with tears in their eyes bade farewell to MT. Sargent who has served the order for seventeen years as grand master. MT. Sargent was called to Washington by his duties as commis- sioner of immigration.
 This afternoon the convention got down to work in earnest. A mass of cor respondence and resolutions had accumu- lated. These were read and referred to the proper committees.
 A portion of the report of the acting grand master was heard, but the report has not yet been acted upon.
 Practically all the resolutions were in reference to changes in the beneficiary laws of the constitution. resolution was introduced for increasing the amount of insurance paid on the death of a member from $500 to S3O0O The resolu- ton was referred to the committee on constitution and bylaws.
 The local branch of the brotherhood ex- tended an invitation to the convention to spend Saturday at Chickamauga park.
 Communications were read from Mayor Rose, and the business league of Mill l waukee inviting the convention to hold their next biennial session at Milwaukee. Both letters were referred to the com mittee on welfare of the order.
 The scores of resolutions which were 1 introduced and which were referred to the various committees will not be acted upon until these committees report. Il is generally thought that the insurance will be increased as provided for the res olution introduced today.
 It is the general opinion of the grand officers that the session of the conven- ton will extend over into the third week.
 It has been seventeen years since the l brotherhood has been called upon to elect a grand master and there will be a spirited contest for the place.
 Acting Grand Master Hannahan Is an avowed candidate Col. W. c. P. Breck- enridge of Kentucky has been invited to visit Chattanooga and address the con- vention. He has accepted and will be here the latter part of the week.
 There are now 620 delegates in at- tendance including a number from Cam ada and Mexico.

PEACE REIeNs IN TEXAS.
Republican Factions Get Together and
 Bury All Differences.

Fort Worth, Tex, September 10.-Peace reigns in the ranks of the Texas repub- licans and all differences are buried. Reconciliation predominates the party leaders today and the convention gave hearty approval to the settlement of the difficulties. These things were made by joint conference held this afternoon between the leaders, the meeting having been arranged by a letter having been addressed to State Chairman Lyon by B. H. Green, who yesterday announced that he was a harmony candidate for state chairman Green said that he was ready and willing to leave the race since an adjustment had been accomplished.
 At 1:3O D. m. State Chairman Lyon, National Commit eeman Hawley, Green and others held conference. It was agreed that Lyon should be state chair man, Hawley national committeeman and temporary chairman of the conven- tion and Green permanent chairman of the convention. It was reported today that it was the wish of President Roose- welt that Lyon should succeed himself and this, it is claimed had a salutary effect on the dellberation which failed in the conference.
 Very little was accomplished at the afternoon session of the convention. There was much enthusiasm when Messrs. Lyon, Hawley and Green ap- peared upon the stage and when Lyon announced the harmony programme.
 The action of the committee on all contests was approved by the convention and adjournment was taken until to- night

Montgomery, September 1O-(Special.)- Maj. w. w. Wadsworth the Autauga county sawmill operator whom the re- publicans are proposing to run against Congressman Thompson in the Fifth dis trict, was in Montgomery today, and was asked whether he would accept the nom- ination.
 Wadsworth is big, robust man. who has fought his way to fortune by hard work and looks like prosperous farm CT. who nevertheless labors in his own fields. He is modest seeming man, and has a smile always ready. The smile came today when he asked the news- papers to say nothing, or rather told them to say nothing for him, all of which means that the major is considering the suggestion of his candidacy from no un- friendly standpoint
