NEW DEFENDER ORDERED.
THE AMBASSADORS AGAIN GIVEN
 THE JOB.
Plans for the New Craft Drawn Up Many Weeks Ago im Anticipation of LiptOn's ChaIlenge-BuIIdeTs Now Practically Ready to Begin Work as Soon as Ma terIaI Is Assembled.

Bristol, R. l., Oct. 1.-The order for tine new cup defender in the races with Sir Thomas Lipton's Shamrock III. has been placed with the Heres hOffs here, according to a report from an authoritative source. Plans for the new craft were drawn up many weeks ago in anticipation of the challenge and orders were placed for construction metal and other requisites so that the builders are now practically ready to begin work as soon as the material has been assembled.
 The condition of affairs about the boat shops, however, indicates that op- erations on the craft may not be com menced for a month or six weeks, as the builders are constructing a set of boat shops, in one which the new boat will be built, and it will take thirty days to finish the sheds.
 Word comes from a number of dis tant cities that the work of loading Sasa- terial upon cars for shipment here sas already been commenced.
 New York, Oct. 1.-The committee on measurement of the New York Yacht club, ordered to consider the advisabil ity of change in the rating rule which has been found fault with because of the ease with which, under it. freak boats are being developed will submit it's report to the club Thursday evening next at it's general meeting.
 The committee recommends a new rating rule by winch the rating is found by multiplying the length of the yacht, obtained as provided for by the square root os the sail area. and dividing the result by five times the cube root of the displacement This is radical change from the old formula.
 This report is of international impor- tance, and will affect the measurement of yachts not only in this country, but iu Europe.
 The correspondence between Sir Thomas Lipton and Commodore Led yard, made public last night, disclosed the fact that the new measurement If adopted will not apply to the cup races next year.

TRIPLE TRAGEDY IN WALLSH.
MONEY SHORTAGE LEADS TO
 DEATH OF THREE MEN.
William C. Turner Fatally Shoots w. J
 Mallard and Robert Hamilton, Ofic cers of the Climax T3ottiiDg Company of Which He Was Once President-TheM Kills Himself-The Tragedy Occurs In the Offices of a Prominent Law Firm.

New York, Oct 17.--Using a new au- tomatic magazine pistol, William c. Turner former president and treasurer of the Climax Bottling company, to-day shot and killed W. J. MalIard, secretary and treasurer of the company, and Rob- ert Hamilton, it's president, and then killed himself with the same powerful weapon. A second revolver, loaded in every chamber, was found in Turner's pocket and it is believed that he plan ned to take more lives than he did. The shooting was caused by a quarrel be- tween the three men over an alleged shortage in Turner's accounts, for which he was threatened with criminal procedure. The tragedy occurred in the offices of the law firm of Cantor, Adams & Mcintyre, in the heart of the Wall street district, during the busy noon hour.
 Turner, who was forty-five years old and lived at Mount Vernon, N. Y, was a cousin of Governor Odell, of this state, and the head of the law firm in whose offices the shooting occurred is President Cantor, of the Borough of Manhattan. Soon after the shots rang out in the office building wild rumor was started that the borough president had been killed.
 All of the principals in the tragedy were married. Mallard was thirty-six years old, native of Atlanta, Ga. where he was well known in business and social circles. He was president of the Young Mems Democratic club there. He had been in this city about four years, and it is said lived with his wife and two children in an uptown fiat MT.

That Country.

That Country.
 Berlin, Oct 17.-The Boer generals are sorry they did not go to America | first for money instead of making canvass of the continent. General Botha said to-day that they intended, of course, to go to the United States but as they had started to tour the con- tinent, they would finish their tour of Europe before undertaking the trip to America. The experience of the gen. erals so far has been rather disappoint- ing. There have been plenty of cheers, but little money has been contributed for the relfef oe the Boers. One Amer ican contributed more than all Ger many. The total gathered here is S67,- 800. The Pan-German group, which is managing the generals, is doing every thing possible to give the demonstra- tions an anti-British character, but the Boers have refused outright to do some of the things suggested.
 For instance, 1t was widely adver- tised that the generals would this morn ing lay a wreath at the foot of the statue of Emperor William I, near the Schloss. Enormous crowds gathered there and their cheers were heard by his majesty, who looked out of the window. But an hour passed beyond the time appointed and the generals did not come. Finally word was circulated that they would not come at all AS learned afterwards, General Botha de- clined to take part in the affair that seemed to him to have political Qual- ity.
 The visiting generals spent the morn ing ill receiving callers. From time to time they showed themselves on the hotel balcony to crowds, and the latter always raised a cheer. General De Continued on Third Page.)

 Upon his arrival here the negro was turned over to Sheriff Spradley, who told the people he would be given a speedy trial. The town began to fill up rapidly, telegraph wires were cut, the railroad tracks were torn up for a short distance, and it was announced that an attempt would be made to get possess sion of Buchanan.
 District court was at once summoned, a jury was empanelled without delay. and the negros plea os guilty was ac- cepetd by the court. The judge ordered that the death sentence be executed November +, but many people an- nounced that they would not allow de- lay.

RAGING AT LEXINGTON.
Favorites Won the Four Events on
 Yesterdny's Card.

Lexington, Ky, Oct. 17.-Favorites won the four events on to-day's card, but the opposition that each had made the sport exciting at all stages. Save in the last race the events were taken in straight heats. Especial interest cen tered in the 2:02 pace. Harold and Edith W. fought it out with Dan R. all the way in each heat but he was good enough to land both. The time was 2:05 and 2:04. The 2:0s trot led to another game struggle between Monte Carlo, Belle Riser and Major Delmar, the latter winning. Direct Hall won the Wilson stake, 2:2O class, and the time is proof of the character of the competition. Dr. Straig had the hard est struggle of the day when he defeat- ed Beldo in the 2:16 trot.
