RECORD-BREAKING RUN.
Fast Sailing by New York Yacht Club
 Vsssels-The Winners.

Vineyard Haven, Mass, Aug. 1.-The run of the New York Yacht club cruise from Newport to this port to-day was made in a magnificent westerly breeze, which sent the yachts over the course of thirty-seven miles at fast clip and proved record breaking in the history of runs between these two ports. The Boston schooner Constellation, owned by Francis Skinner, Jr.. covered the distance in 3:32:15 and won the race in the large schooner class. Commodore Ledyard's schooner Corona won in class B, and F. F. Brewster's schooner FL nina in class D. For the sloops the Yankee won in clas H, the Queen Nab in class I, the Humma in class K and the Ondawa in class L.
 The Yankee finished well in the lead and won the race, crossing the line at 1:44:50, unofficial time. The Mineola, crossed at 1:49:05, having gained some thing in the last mile. Then came the Ailsa at 1:50:2O while Commodore Led yards Corona led the schooner fleet, crossing at 1:53:05. The Rainbow and Constellation came next, right abreast, the Rainbow crossing at 1:5S:52 and the Constellation at 1:53:54. The two rival schooners, Elmina and Muriel, came next, the Elnina leading at the line by a trifIe over 25 seconds. The rest of the aaet, even the auxiliaries, made quick time, all being in the harbor by 4 o'clock.
 It was a great run with a great finish and the time of the Yankee of three hours and forty minutes is nearly the record for this run of the New York Yacht club.

TO SEE TRACTS BODY.
The Curious Blocking fa Davenport,
 Wash from All Directions.

Davenport, Wash, Aug. 7.-Thescuri- directions to view the body of Harry Tracy the dead outlaw. The inquest will not he concluded till tomorrow. The body probably will be taken to Spokane on Saturday and later sent to Salem Ore, for burial at the peni- tentiary. Tracys guns may be distrib- uted among the Creston posse. Other relics have already been given away. A new story of Tracy's wonderful daring has come to light. MT. McGregor, the keeper of livery statble at Wilbur, on viewing Tracy's body, positively identi- fled him as man who came to his stable last Friday night. He says Tracy had two horses, which he put up for the night. He also left his rifle and a bundle, asking the unsuspecting liv- eryman to take care of them until morning. Where he spent the night is not known, though it is said he ate at least one meal in a restaurant in the town. About 10 a. m Saturday he call ed for his horses, bundle and rifle, paid his bill and rode away.
 Spokane, Aug. When the sheriff, with the body of Tracy, drove through Davenport hundreds of persons follow ed up the street and crowded about the wagon.
 By the time the wagon reached the morgue the streets were so crowded that the morgue doors had to be closed Several persons were allowed to see the body and then everybody wanted a. relic, and in short time nothing was left but the body. Some one even picked up the bloodstained handkerchief which had been used by Tracy to keep from bleeding to death.
 Many locks of the desperadoes's hair were carried away. and I'll some places his head had been made bald His trousers were cut into strips and before they were divided they were cut into smaller pieces. Many of Tracy's car tridges were divided among the mem- bers of the posse.

ESTABLISHMENT LOSE IN SINGLES.
International Championship Tennis
 Cup Successfully Defended.

New York, Aug. 1.-The team of American lawn tennis experts success fully defended the Dwight F. Davis in- ternational challenge cup to-day on the courts of the Crescent A. C., Bayridge. They defeated the challenging English men in the four matches of the singles by three victories and suffered one de- feat.
 William A. Larned, the national champion. was the only player on the American team to succumb to the p'ay- ing of the Englishmen. He was beaten by R. F. Doherty, who formerly held the championship of England. Nal colm D. Whitman, the unbeaten Amer ican title holder, beat Dr. Pim and R. F. Doherty Larned's only victory was scored against Dr. Pim
 The unfinished matches of yesterday were first played R. F. Doherty had evidently received some pointers as to how to defeat Larned. and he immedi- ately opened with display of fast vol leying and driving that carried the na- tional champion off his feet. Larned apparently lost his stroke and the Brit isher took the remaining three sets of the match rather easily. It was on his place shots along the line that the Eng lishman excelled, and Larned was nev- CT in the lead.
 Fully six thousand people saw the matches. Tomorrow the doubles match will be played by the Doherty brothers against Ward and Davis.

BRITAIN AND THE SHIP TRUST
Indications of an Admiralty Agree
 ment-Ssntement hy Fsalfour.

ment-Ssntement hy Balfour.
 London, Aug. 7.-Replying in the House of Commons to-day to request
 of Lord Charles Beresford for assur-
 ance that no binding agreement would
 be concluded between the government
 and the shipping combination without the agreement being approved by par
 liament, Premier Balfour said:
 T do not think it possible to negoti-
 ate on this or any other subject if the
 proposed terms are to be publicly dis cussed before the government has
 agreed to them. The governm ont, how ever, is most anxious to take the heouse
 into it's confidence at the earliest possi- ble moment
 MT. Balfour's reply has particular in- terest, as Belfast dispatches to-day an- nounce that the government accepted J. Pierpont Morgans offer to give the admiralty claim on all the combina- tions ships. As evidence of the accept ance, it is stated that the government has chartered the Corinthic the first
 ship built for the combination, which
 has just been completed at the Harland-
 Wolf shipyards.
 Inouiries made by the Associated Press show that belief is general that J. Pierpont Morgan's offer practically has been accepted by the government The Belfast dispatch may slightly an- ticipate the technicalities required to close the agreement. or may not allow for changes inserted since the offer was originally made, but thera appears to be little doubt that the spirit of the scheme is acceptable to the cabinet. J. S. Morgan & Co.,, when asked con- corning the reported agreement adopt ed the same non -conmittal attitude as MT, Balfour in the House of Commons,
