l wish to 60 ON record as saying one
thing, and that is that the American
people, American sportsmen, are the
kindest people on earth.
My antagonists are fair fighters, and
the people whom l meet everywhere
are 30 cordial and hospitable that this
has often embarrassed me and my as
sOciates.
Frequently have been asked if bet

never wagered farthing. do not be-
lieve In betting. have never bet on
horse race or on any sport. l have
gone into ships pools while crossing
but more for the reason of not seeming
to hold myself aloof from Others than
for any other purpose. But when 1t
comes to wagering sums of money on
such a sport as yachting l would like
to say that heartily disapprove of 1t,
and would be much displeased if any
one Of my guests or any member OF my
ships company were to do such
thing. l know from what | have
learned that enormous sums Of money
have been wagered in Britain on the
success of the two previous Shamrocks,
but personally have done everything
possible to discourage this form or
gambling. To my mind 1t cheapens
the sport, no matter what may be the
moral side Of the question.
And what If l should win the cupf
II l should, l think l know what
would do. American yachtsmen would
have to build a different kind Of a boat
from either Shamrock or Reliance to
bring it back again. Cup chauengers
and defenders are dangerous. One
stands upon their decks as one Sails
and at any minute spar may fall or
sail may fall or piece of metal may
fall. Yes, racing yachts are dangerous
and useless.

Proposed Removal of the Capitol
Well Received.
HOUSE ON RECORD AS FAVORABLE.
To Take Advantage Of the Million Dollar
Fair Appropriation.

The motion to remove the state
capitol from Jefferson City, which
seems to have been offered in a spirit
of leyity, has met with serious favor.
Whether the whole thing was cum
nlngly contrived by St. Louis or came
as a second thought to the Legislators
there is no denying that there is
strong probability of the submission
of the proposition to the voters Of
Missouri
If st. Louis would like to be the
capital of Missouri the members Of
the general assembly are ready to
receive propositions looking toward
the promise of money for the build
ing Of new structures, and, unless
Indications are misleading, will pre-
sent a constitutional amendment for
the consideration Of the people a year
and a half hence
A poll Of the senate Wednesday
afternoon showed that of those present
only six we're opposed to capital
removal, and that nearly all Of the
Others were in favor of st. Louis.
Jefferson City people are excited,
and denouucing every attempt to
remove. Many Of them blame the
Reverend Doctor Brooks, saying that
if he had not started his anti.gambling
crusade, there would have been no
step taken such as the Golden reSolu-
tion, which mentions the public
gambling in Jefferson City as one Of
the reasons why the capital should
be changed.
Members of the general assembly
cite a variety of reasons for the pro-
posed change. The principal one is
the matter of food. Oleomarglne
enters into the discussion. Butter
can be obtained in only one or two OF
the hotels in Jefferson City
The fact that Missouri has appro-
priated 81, 900, 600 for a Worlds Fair
building is one Of the potent argu-
ments why St. Louis should be
named. Many members say that, II
another million can be raised by the
city, Missouri could have about as
fine a capitol as any state in the
union.

ELIMINATES MIDDLEMEN.

Reno Warehouse Deals Direct With
the Great Wool Consumers.
P. L. Flanagan has returned from
Boston and other Eastern wool centers
where he went short while ago to
dispose of the wool at present stored in
the Flanagan warehouse at Reno.
A carload of sample wool was ship
ped to Boston, and upon its arrival Mr..
Flanagan followed it and was thus able
to deal direct with the great wool pur-
chasers instead of through middlemen
as heretofore.
The benefit of this is apparent to the
wool interests of this section, as it ELI
inmates the commissions of the middle
men from the transaction and enables
the wool producer to get better price
for his clip.
Reno is getting to be a great wool
center, and by adopting hereafter the
plan so successfully followed i'll this
instance it will attract shipments of
wool from still larger territory. Reno

UTAH SHEEPMEN DISCOURAGED,
Think the Industry Has Seen Its Best
DAYS in That State.

The sheepmen of this part of the state,
says the Richfield Reaper, are not feel
ing very -exuberant ever the situation
and outlook for their industry. The
market for muttons this Summer has
been very poor, and some of those who
have made shipments have not realized
50 per head.
The ranges are becoming more and
limited all the time in Utah and conse-
quently poorer, and the sheepowners
are not thriving as in times past. The
lack of feed has caused no small loss
among the herds during the past season
which, taken with the serious losses of
last Spring, have put the sheepmen con
their hip" SO to speak. The wool crop
was not SO heavy as usual. and while
the prices obtained for the product were
fair, these did not make up for the
losses later and earlier.
Many of the sheepmen are feeling
quite discouraged, and some of them
say they intend going out of the bust
ness entirely. The outlook for the Win
ter, with poor ranges and the market
away down, does not offer any promise
of relief
Men who have been engaged in this
industry for years say that it has seen
its best days in the State. Government
and private reserves have taken out Of
the public domain some of the choicest
ranges, and the mountains and deserts
can no longer be depended upon for the
successful and sure running of sheep.
Many want to close out, but the present
condition of the market will not allow
them to do so without great sacrifices,
and the approach of Winter is just about
placing the sheepmen between the devil
and the deep sea.

TOM HORN EXECUTED.
The Noted Scout Dies on the Scaf-

Cheyenne, Wyo., Nov. 20-Tom

last and smiling. His neck was broken
by the fall of the trap. Horn denied he
had ever confessed the murder of Will
lie Nickel, but told his spiritual advisers
he had been guilty of crimes but not
wilfully so. Ten minutes before he
was bound for the scaffold he lay on
his cot smoking cigar and looking out
at the spectators. Frank and Charles
Irwin sang sentimental cowboy song
and were allowed to shake hands with
Horn. Horn made no confession and
no speech ON the scaffold. He never
lost his nerve.
The execution was witnessed by forty
persons, including the guards, friends
of Horn and newspaper men. The
spectators were admitted to the Jail at
10:45, one by one, and searched for fire.
arms. Men armed with Winchesters
stood at the door watching Horn s
friends. Horns neck was broken by
the falling of the trap and death was
instantaneous. Horn spent nearly all
the morning, after eating a hearty
breakfast, writing letters.
Horn has apparently been hopeful all
along that in some manner he would
escape the gallows, but last night he
wrote a farewell letter to John o.
Coble, manager of the Iron Mountain
Cattle Company, by which he was EN-.
ployed for ten years, his business being
to prevent rustling or thefts Of cattle.
Tom Horn was born in Scotland
County, Missouri, November 81. 1860.
He was a celebrated army scout, Indian
fighter and cattle detective. He was
the scout in charge of the party that

Havana, Nov. 21.-The joint resolu-
ton introduced in the United States
Senate by Mr.. Newlands on Friday in
viting Cuba to become State of the
United States has occasioned great
deal of comment here. Many Cubans
are amused at it, while some prominent
Spaniards and other persons of foreign
birth favor it.
In the course of an interview Presi-
dent Palma commented with serious
ness upon the provisions of the resolu-
ton. He said that while there might
possibly have been time when the
majority of the residents of Cuba
would have favored voluntary action
that time had passed, the stability of
the Cuban Government having become
so well established that the Cuban had
no other desire than to perpetuate and
loyalty support it.
Besides this, Cuba's political and COM
mercial relations with the United
States were now being settled in a
manner so eminently satisfactory that
it would be impossible to organize a
movement of any importance in the
direction of action.
