WELCOME TO UPTON.
Baronet Says He Thinks Shamrock
 III. is the Best Yet.

New York, June 24-Sir Thomas Lipton was the guest of honor at dinner given tonight at the Waldorf-Astoria by two score of his friends to welcome him to the United States Major General H. c. Corbin presided. Among those present were Assistant United States Treasurer Hamilton Fish. Collector Stranahan, Sem ator Fairbanks. Charles M. Schwab. Gen eral Chaffee, William Fife. John H. Flag Ter, Warner Miller and F. w. Peck of Chcago.
 The menu cards were attractively de- signed and bore Sir Thomas Lipton's pri- vate flag, the English Jack, life buoy of the steam yacht Erin and the Stars and Stripes. After dinner General Corbin pro- posed me health of President Roosevelt, which was drunk standing. He then of fered "A sentiment which appeals to the heart of every one because of the hospi- tality he extends to every American. has gracious majesty, King Edward" which brought forth enthusiastic applause.
 There were neither set speeches nor toasts but most of those present made felicitous remarks. the trend of all being hearty welcome to Sir Thomas Lipton with qualified wishes for his success in lifting the cup.
 Sir Thomas, when he arose to respond, said he was deeply touched by the kind
 
 the United States as on former occasions, to take back with him most treasured possession.
 Now I don't want to appear too san guine of the result" he said but I have very great hopes, in fact I freely confess that I think this time Shamrock III is a very fast boat, much faster than anything l have had before, although I have a great respect for MT. Herreshoff and those defending the cup, feel that have a very good chance of winning it, thanks to the skill of my very good friends, MT. Fife Of course I do not know what the future has in store. but nothing can in- terfere with the good fellowship that ex- ists between me and the American people generally. That I appreciate more than I should the winning of the cup But have better change this time than ever before. I know I have a marvel to beat in Reliance. I am glad of 1t. If am going to win the cup I don't want to win from anything but the best American can produce"

THE RISKS OF CORRUPTION.
Recent Revelations Show Boodlers
 are Pretty Sure to Be Caught.

] Philadelphia Ledger.
 The sensational chapter added to the story of the Missouri legislative corruption by the confession of exstate Senator Busche con tains impressive morals Here was a
 man who had had successful" career a
 lawmaker. adding to his salary extras amount ing to about Sl 900 in five years In busi- ness he has always been considered above reproach. and his honesty as a member of the Legislature not generally doubted. The investigations prosecuted by the circuit at torney. MT. Folk. have apparently come close home to the guilty bribetaker. and. with un- doubted sorrow for his misdeeds he has re- lieved his conscience. and. incidentally, se- cured some prospect of immunity. by mak- ing a clean breast of his part In the whole sale Missouri corruption.
 No broad generalization would be justified from this particular case. beyond the con- clusion that briketaking Is poor policy for a man with good business, promise of an hon orable career and sensitive conscience. But in connection with the other features of the Missouri revelations, and with the exposure of corruption in the postoffce department. in the Massachusetts Legislature the Rhode Island Legislature and half dozen other semblies including the Legislature of far-off Hawaii. 1t does suggest very powerfully that 1t is an extremely risky thing to be mixed up in lobby methods If the murder be the safest of crimes legislative boodling is of the most dangerous. There are so many impli- cated. future complications are so possible and eXigencies so uncertain In Missouri the work of the corruptionists during the last five years has been pretty fully revealed; :; much has come to light regarding legislative crimes perpetrated far back as l989 Un- der the indefatgable efforts of one man. the whole system has crumbled to pieces. the hoodIers betraying each other without the slightest display of the ''honor' commonly at tributed to the baser type of criminals; the gang Is scattered it's power broken; it's i'm munity lost. Some members of it are in exile and some in jail Political careers progressing toward the greatest offices are ruined
 What has happened in Missouri May come to pass anywhere. The mere fact that thing has gone on for long while is no assurance | that perpetual immunity from the people s wrath and the law Is decreed for it.

Al ShreVeport-Mempnls ana SnreVe- port
 Montgomery won from Atlanta. Score, 2 to l.
 It was a case of the ruling passion strong in death" with that bunch of Kicking Krackers yesterday. They evi- dently thought 1t their mission n life to make themselves as obnoxious as pos sible even to the end.
 Just before the game was called Ab Powell asked Whist Ter to let the game be called at 5:30 o'clock, as his .eam had to catch the Northbound Louisville and Nashville train at 6.30 o'clock in or der to reach Nashville In time for the game to- day. The manager of the Black Sox con- scented and Umpire Brennan was notified that no matter how the score stood at he time, the game should be called at S:30. When that time arrived the Crack CTS had just finished their half of the seventh inning. the score standing Mont gomery ?, Atlanta 1. Then arose mighty howl from "the Beefers," who had evil dently overlooked the trifling tact that calling the game at the hour mentioned all the same with the score and 1 in favor of the Black Sox.
 While it seems thoroughly impossible for the Atlanta bunch to cut o4t their was cut out and the game was on the whole as enjoyable as an Atlanta game may be. Though the score shows that Atlanta got six hits of George Stultz to five off Killen, Stultz outpitched Killen easily. ,stultz had marvellous control, only giving one base on balls and strik- ing out Stafford, Killen and Lynch. Kil- len gave four bases on balls and no strikeouts.
 Two fast doubles were made, one by each team. while really an errorless game was put up by the Black Sox The one error charged was a ball thrown by Clark to second, Winters knocking the ball out of Chidss hands.
 One of the brilliant features was Clark s throwing to second, the throw being as swift and true as rife ball and the runner being nailed easily in every in stance except the one referred to-
 In the first inning Childs got a life and scored on long drives by Whistler and Flanagan Winters scoring on Croziers being hit by the ball and Stafford's single.
 In the fourth Whistler lined out his second hit of the game, advanced on a beautiful sacrifice by Kanzlier and scored on Clark's hit and out. Atlanta never saw the plate again after the first inning, Stultz shutting them out with the help of fast support.
 The Black Sox never scored after the forth inning and the score at the end of the seventh was and 1 in favor of the locals. The score was:
