NEW YORK. Aug. 1S.-Reliance and
Shamrock III were measured to-day in the
Erie basin by C. T.. Mower, official meas
urer of the New York Yacht Club. 1t was
announced tonight that Reliance would al
low the challenger one minute and forty
five seconds over a thirty mile course.
1t was found that the Shamrock III was
slightly longer on the water line than the
American boat. but the latter proved to have
nearly 1900 more square feet of sail area
than the challenger and it was this enor-
nous sail spread that taxed the American
boat so Heavily.
The announcement of the time allowance
in favor of the challenger caused little sur
prise at the yacht club. as it was the very
general belief that Reliance would prove
considerably larger all around than her or
ponent. The following are the official fig

SHOCK FOR THE TURKS.
Russia's Naval Activity Is an UnweI-
come Surprise.

CONSTANTINOPLE. Aug. 1S.-The Rus
sian squadron of warships, which left Sc
bastopol yesterday. is expected to arrive off
the Turkish coast this evening TO support
the demands made on Turkey by Russia, in
connection with the assassination on Aug.
:, of NJ. Rostkovski. the Russian consul at
Monastir. The fact that Russia is about to
make an open demonstration in Turkish
waters has been kept a profound secret
here, the public being entirely ignorant OF
the Russian movement.
The notification received here of the sail
ing of the squadron was an unwelcome sur
prise to the Turkish government, which
had pretended to believe that the Rostkov-
ski incident had been closed with the pun
ishment of the guilty parties.

DISCOVERY IN ROME.
Base of a Statue of Heroic Size Found
Deeply Buried.

ROME, Aug. 1S.-A most important dis
covery was made to-day during excava-
tions i'm the Roman forum, consisting of
the base of the celebrated equestrian
statue of the Roman Emperor Damitian,
which is of the greatest interest in deter
mining the topogra ply of the forum during
the first century of the empire. The base
stands five feet below the present level Of
the forum. 1t is forty feet long, twenty
feet wide and over ten feet high.
On the top are three blocks OF travert in
stone showing where the feet of the horse
stood The fourth block is lacking, indi-
eating that the right fore foot of the horse
was raised The distance between the
blocks is so great that it is calculated that
the statue was six times life size.

The policemen in Haiti are paid by
results. They get capitation fees for
all the arrests they make. AS they
come from the worst class of the popu-
iation and are under no discipline, it
follows that a man is very liable to be
arrested in Haiti unless he is willing
to pay the policeman more than the
capitation fee. AS this fee is only Is
cents, the price of freedom is not pro-
hibitive.
If a man objects to paying the fee
and says he would rather go before the
