Thomas Denies Runors.

New York, Sept. 3.-Wednesday's att

Americas cup series was but a repeti-
ton Of Tuesdays fiuke. and the sus-.
pense is prolonged still another day.
Under far less favorable conditions
than prevailed Tuesday morning tho
yachts went out to the starting line

NO wind was = heavy fog The yachts,
hung about the lightship. They did not
drop their tows and their sails hung
limp from the rigging: Like Tuesday,
the boats waited until 1880 and tho
race was declared off, The yachts were
then towed back to the Hook and the
few 'excursionists returned to>the city.

conditions are favorable. .> =,
Sir Thomas Upton emphatically de-
MED persistent rumors that he had
made these two assertions:
First. That II there was any chance
for Shamrock III. to win he would de-
pose Capt. Wringe and put the yacht
under control Of Mate Bevis; and Sec
ond, that Shamrock was found too long
after her speedy trials, and in bringing
her up to the proper measurement she
had been stripped so much as to lose
her speed. Sir Thomas declared that
he had perfect faith in his designer,
his captain and his crew. All had done
and were still doing their best.

REVOLUTION imminent.
Correspondent Says Only Vigorous
Action by Colombian Government
Can Prevent Outbreak,

New York, Sept. 1.-The spirit Of
revolution is gaining in force on the 18TH
mus, as the result of the rejection of
the canal treaty by the Colombian con-
gress at Bogota, says Times dispatch
from Panama.
Only vigorous action on the part of
the government can prevent an out
break, the correspondent asserts, and
it is doubtful whether such action is
possible.
Gen. Huertas, commandant at Fort
Chuiriqui, and virtually the command
er of all the government forces in
and around Panama, is at this time
the only officer to whom the govern
ment may look with any hope of
checking any revolutionary spirit.
Even he is a warm sympathizer with
the canal project.
AS for the naval force, it is prac-
tically controlled by Americans or
pro-American Englishmen. They form
the cunning, navigating and engineer
ing forces.

in corresponding manner.
when a consumer chances to find
a stale egg he returns it to the dealer,
who in turn charges it to the associa-

farmer. The method is a protection
to all parties concerned and is said to
meet with much success. The eggs
