RELIANCE CHOSEN
TO DEFEND CUP

Newport, July 28.-After yesterdays
race between the Reliance. Columbia
and Constitution. in which the former
again demonstrated her superiority
over the other two, the challenge COM
mittee of the New York Yacht Club
selected the Reliance as the defender
Of the Americas cup. 1t was also de-
cided to discontinue the trial races.
Messrs. Morgan of the Columbia and
Belmont of the Constitution were per-
fectly satisfied with the choice OF the
committee. They are both of the opin-
ion that the Reliance is the fastest of
the trio. From the showing of the
three boats during the season. the Re-
lance is fairly entitled to be the de-
Tending vessel. In every race she has
crossed the line ahead. and has lost
but few events on time allowance. 1t
is probable that the defender will pro-
ceed to Bristol for a thorough over
hauling.
The three yachts raced over a lee
ward and windward course yesterday.
There was a puffy northwester of fif-
teen miles strength blowing when the
starting signal was given at 1880. The
Reliance was first across the line, the
Constitution crossed soon after, and
the Columbia followed couple of sec
onds behind the handicap gun, at
1882.
The Reliance ran by the Constitu-
tion soon after the start and at IL: 40,
when the Columbia was almost on even
terms with her, the Reliance set the
spinnaker flying on the starboard
hand. The new boat felt the effect
Immediately and slowly regained the
stretch of water that separated her
from the Constitution. A mile from
the turn the Reliance got by the Con-
stitution and turned the mark just
ahead of her. Meantime the Columbia
had fallen away in the rear. The
yachts turned the outmark as follows:
Reliance .................. 1:01:06
Constitution ............. 1:10:37
Columbia Observation-Disclosures. 1:14:38
Hauling sheets around the mark, the
Reliance began beating out to weather
of Constitution. They went about on
the port tack about 2: 10 and after that
the new boat drew ahead and to wind
ward steadily. The Columbia sailed a
fast race to windward, and by for
tunate slant Of wind close under the
Newport shore. hauled up SO much on
the Constitution that the latter barely
beat her across the finish line.

Large Water Interest. Concerned.


Interests involving millions Of dol
lars and the completion of several
large water works depends upon the
decision Of Attorney General Miller,
says the Denver News
The opinion has been requested by
Senator Taylor, who recently bought
the four Oldest water rights on Divide
creek. in Garfield county. There were
fifty-flve respondents, and every one
objected to the transfer. The court
granted the petition, and this party ap-
pealed.
The question Attorney General Mil
Ter has to determine is whether an ap-
peal to the Supreme Court arrests the
decree of district Judge regarding the
change In the point of division in a
water right.
II the attorney general decides in the
affirmative 1t will tie up many munici-
pal and corporate enterprises OF magni-
tude, besides the transfer of large
number Of smaller and private water
rights.
Under law enacted two years ago q
water right may be purchased and the
water under that right diverted to an
other part of the stream. La Junta and
other cities in the Arkansas valley,
which have an inadequate water sup
ply near at hand, have taken advant-
age of this law and purchased all
rights as far distant as 100 miles, and
purpose to divert the water thus se-
cured for use in their water works sys-
tens. The Colorado Fuel and Iron
Company has expended several mil
lions in buying old priorities near
Leadville, and are bringing the water
to Pueblo.

COLORADO STATE AFFAIRS AND
DOINGS AT THE CAPITAL CITY
Court Moditie. Tie Injunction.


The opinion in the case of the Dem
yer & Rio Grande Railroad ct al. ap-
pellants, VS.. the United States Of Amer
lea, appellee, has just been fled in the
United States Circuit Court of Appeals.
The case il appealed from the Circuit
Court of the United States for the Dis
trict of Colorado. and gives q decision
on the juftness of some OF the provis-
ions of an Injunction issued out OF the
lower court restraining the Denver 4
Rio Grande Railroad Company from
cutting certain trees belonging to the
government
The opinion states that 1t Is not the
purpose Of . temporary injunction to
punish for violations of the law. but IL
merely for the purpose OF protecting
and preserving the rights OF the parties
until the controversies between them
can be heard and determined.
The opinion then proceeds to remove
the Inhibition preventing the company
from using saw mills or other devices
OF this nature, claiming that 1t makes
no difference to the government what
may be the method used after the tim
Der is obtained, but that the difference
to the government comes in the TAX
ing of the timber in the first place and
that is the important part Of the whole
matter. This inhibition is for this rea-
son removed.
Then again 1t is stated that the tenn
porary injunction attempts to say in
what way the company shall be
charged for the lumber it takes,
whether at the rate of the manufac
tured ties or the value of the timber
first taken. This the court claims
should be left to the determination OF
the court which decides on the other
questions involved in the case.
The order prohibits the taking of
timber for the purpose of building over
narrow-gauge roads into standard
gauge road with this timber. The court
also removes this, claiming that the
company can amply pay for the timber
that 1t uses in this fashion, and that
the government is not the loser be-
cause OF this. The court also removes
the restriction in the temporary injunc-
tion which prevents the using of this
timber on certain other branch roads
not specified in the act, giving as its
reason that this can be removed with
out damage 70 either party until the
final hearing of the case
The court also states that the order
compelling the company not to trans
port the timber by rails Is too strict
and the injunction can safely be modi-
fled in this particular, as it makes no
difference to the government whether
the ties are hauled in wagons or by
rail.
The injunction is modified by the
court SO that the railroad company can
take ties at distance OF six miles lat
orally from the right of way, may use
the surplus in the repair of its lines
not necessarily enumerated in the con-
gressional act. The company is COM
PEELED to report the quantity of timber
so cut.
The judgment of the lower court is
affirmed with regard to the temporary
injunction with the exceptions already
stated.

as illustrative of dangers he had es-
capped, of how an Indian squaw once
saved his life after he had given her
a trivial present. He was out pros
pecting n day and looked into her
tent. She Immediately told him the
braves of her tribe were after his
scalp and hid him beneath some skins.
Presently up came the redskins and
asked if she had seen him. She stood
at the door of the tent and said he
had passed in a certain direction.
Every other white man in the neigh
borhood was murdered.
Much American money was lost in
the failure of the Wright companies.
There was a great cutlery against the
attitude of the authorities in not pros
ecuting Mr.. Wright and his fellow
directors in the London and Globe,
and in January last a petition was cir
culated on the London Stock tx
change, signed by many influential
men. demanding the prosecution of
Mr.. Wright, as it was considered that
don Stock exchange demanded a thor
ough investigation.
A fund of $4,000 was raised to mi
tate the prosecution of Wright. Ar
mold White, an author, at a meeting
said the reason the prosecution was
not undertaken by the government
and Globe were sheltering themselves
behind members of the royal family.
He added that he understood that a
royal duke had invested money in
the concern, and he believed that
certain ~hangers-on at court" were
using the name of the king and others
nefarious deeds.
Other speakers at this meeting de-
clared that the stockholders of the
London and, Globe were victims of
one of the most terrible, heartless
and gigantic swindles of the present
age"
Action was taken against Mr.. Wright
on March 10. Justice Buckley, in
the chancery division of the high court
of justice. made an order directing
the official receiver as liquidator of
the Globe corporation, to prosecute
Mr.. Wright on a criminal charge and
to utilize the assets of the London
and Globe to pay the costs of the pros
ecution. The following day a war
rant for Mr.. Wright's arrest was is
sued.

to avert an. open conflict than to es-
cape an ambuscade.
The Elkins law, it will be seen, is
of primary interest to railroads and
tC people who have a considerable
business with railroads. Indirectly
the railroads and the subject Of
freights affect all business and all
the people. BY secret alliances be-
tween the railroads and certain ship
pers there have been built up such
concerns as the beef trust, the oil
trust, the grain elevator trust and
similar concerns. They thrived and
secured monopolies because they had
special rates from the railroads. They
used their power to stifle competition
and to crush competitors. Then they
turned their power against the gen.
eral public, and finally against the
railroads which had helped to build
them up. The railroads finally cried
out to be delivered from the monsters
they had created. In this n the
Elkins law is favorable to the rail-
roads. The small shippers had been
nearly exterminated, and the big ship
pers were in secret league tt mulct
the railroads.
Putting aside all technical or spec
ulative questions, there is n thing
about the Elkins law which must be
apparent to the man in the street,
namely, that it is not in the interest
OF such ncern as the beef trust,
the oil trust, and other monopolistic
shippers of that class, and that it
is in the interest of a fairer deal all
around to the general public.

This was imitation and manipula-

was inevitable. Thirteen firms, in
volving about thirty members of the
London Stock exchange, failed through

whom were among the best known
men in the London financial world.
At that time it was said that the
crash, while it was certain to come
sooner or later, might have been de-
layed had it not been for a quarrel
between Mr.. Wright and Joseph Kauf-
man, a mine exploiter, who were once
bosom friends. The former led the
bull movement in West Australian
shares and the latter led the bears.
After a three years fight Mr.. Kauf-
