rumors of wars are prevalent IN other

Chinese are starving in that district,

way home from the Congo country,
where he has been engaged in mission
airy work, tells of the cruelty toward
natives by the company which has
monopolized the rubber trade. The
methods pursued by this organization
are tyrannical, amounting to virtual en-

arraigned has heretofore had the atten-

RELIANCE OUTsAILED BY THE Co
LUMBIA.-A dispatch from Glen Cove,
L. l., says: 1t required just 20 min
utes for the peerless cup-defender Column
bia to demonstrate yesterday that, in a
light wind and beating to windward, she
is better boat than the new Herreshoh
cup yacht Reliance. Starting from a
position to leeward and slightly astern
of the Reliance, the Columbia sailed
through the new boat's lee, tackled across
her bow, and in the next leg of mile
and a half increased her lead to nearly a
quarter of a mile. Reliance then with
drew. When Columbia went through
her lee Reliance kept off and voluntarily
gave up the advantage of her windward
position, but she was none the less de-
cisively outsailed. This was the first
brush between the rivals. 1t was clear
that, despite her greater sail area,
Reliance yesterday was outclassed by Co
lumbia in the light-wind conditions that
prevailed. She stood up too stiffiy,
while Columbia quickly went down to
her sailing lines.

sitting in Richmond has affirmed the
decision of the lower court in the case. of
the interstate Commerce Commission
against the Southern Railway, in which
the commission claimed that in purchas-
ing the Atlantic and Danyille railway
the Southern Railway violated the anti
trust act The object Of the suit was to
secure a reduction of the freight rates at
Danville, Va, which were claimed to be
excessive compared with the rates in
force in Richmond, Lynchburg and other
southern cities, The commission con-
tended that the Southern Railway sought
to take advantage of its own wrong in
violating the antitrust act by treating
Danyille as a non-competitive point and
charging rates on freight that are nearly
double what they are to competitive
points. The decision was against the

Lee was introduced to Grover Cleveland.

relaxed his dignity sufficiently to in

all sides as "John L." and laughingly
acknowledged the greeting. When
asked with whom his next battle would
be he said he had not decided between
Delegate Conway Baker and Senator

that the delegate from Fairfax was mis-
taken for John L. Sullivan at several
