with Ambassador Choate in his nesotia tons

Veagh went TO London with Mr. Choate and had

also exchanged, bringing out the desirability of
not having the arbitration fail on September

CONDEMNS THE STARTING.
article Calls Jockeying Of Yachts
Dangerous and Infatuated.

An attack methods hitherto used I'm start
ing the international Cup races was made in 'Har-
peys Weekly" which appeared Yesterday, by Will
lam Everett Hicks, who maintains that the jockey
mig or man9uvring for the start is dangerous,
antiquated and prevents equality at the start,
which he insists should be the primary consldera-
ton in every race.
Mr.. Hicks calls attention to the foul of the De-
fender and the TallIyrie III 1885, as an illustration
Of the necessity of change III the starting rules
that the struggle for the windward position at
the start shall be eliminated. Mr.. Hicks suggests
that the choice of position be allotted to each
yacht on alternate days by the committee or de-
cided by lot
Accompanying the attack is statement Of the
views Of Sir Thomas Upton. Sir Thomas saws
he is not opposed TO jockeying at the start which
he considers quite legitimate if carried out fairly
Mr.. Hicks was asked last night whether he was
satisfied with the view taken b. Sir Thomas and
he said:
Most assqredly not. 1t seems TO me Sir Thomas
gives his whole case away when he says the jockey

ment, contractor and the operating company

Cost Of Telephone Service to Phiza-
deLpkia ALso Increased.

Philadelphia. Aug. ian increase of 100 per cent
in all commercial Geographic rates for all words
above ten in messages from this city to New-York
Jersey City, Brooklyn, Hoboken and Baltimore

phone service to New-York. The new telephone
rate is IS cents for three minutes service and 25
cents for each additional minute against the
old rate Of 65 cents for three minutes 90 cents
for each minute thereafter.
On the face of it, the announcement by the tele-
graph companies appears like an increase of cents

the bulk of the increase comes on the charge for
extra words. The charge for these is now cents
each, compared with 1 cent under the old rate 4
Western Union officer says that the increase in
the rate was made necessary by the cost of send

NATIONS MAY JOIN FORCES.
Joint Naval Demonstration Before Salonica
Now Being Considered.

Paris, Aug. 19.-It was learned in official
quarters to-day that the action of Russia in or
dering a naval squadron to Turkish waters may
be speedily followed by important joint naval
action the part of the powers. Commune
cations are at present being exchanged relative
to a joint demonstration before Salonica. The
final determination will depend largely upon
Russia, but if a joint demonstration is de-
termined upon the fleets of France and Austria
will certainly cooperate, and it is probab BILE that
the fleets Of all the other European powers hav-
ing Turkish interests, except, possibly Ger
many, which has not favored taking energetic
steps against Turkey, Will take part in the dem
onstration.
In the mean time the Russian squadron will
not proceed to Constantinople as has been re-
ported. but will station itself off a small port Of
the viIayet OF Adrianople above the entrance of
the Bosporus. For the present this squadron
has no orders to assume an aggressive course.
It's action will depend on Turkeys fulflment of
the terms of Russias final demands in connec-
ton with the ssassination of NJ. Rostkovski.
The punishment of number of the parties i'm
plicated is not considered TO be full compliance
with the terms of the demands which include
an adequate indemnity.
The proposed joint naval action before Salon
lea is due to the earnest representations of the
foreign consuls at Salonica, who set forth that
their lives in danger. The first representa-
ton on the subject reached the French author
tiles several weeks ago, and since then other
consuls have made similar representations.
