MRS. y. r. DREXELS LOSS.
Jewels Valued At $4,000 Disappear a
Newport-May Have Dropped Them.

NEWPORT, r. l., Sept. 3.--Mrs. John R.
Dr~xel, one of Newport's society leaders.
is mourning the loss OF valuable jewels.
1t is not known how the jewels we're lost.
but Mrs. Drexel does not think that
they we're stolen from her. They were lost
while she was wearing them. and she is
more inclined TO think that they became
unfastened and fell to the ground un-
noticed than that in the crowds at the
Casino and other places where she Wis
tied thief took them.
Mrs Drexels first loss was that Of a pear
shaped emerald pendant She says that
this was lost about July 4. About Aug IA
she again had the misfortune to lose a
valuable pendant, consisting Of a pear
shaped diamond and five small diamonds.
After looking in vain for the jewels,
Mrs Drexel has at last advertised her loss
and has offered liberal reward for
their return They are very handsome. and
at all the great social functions her dis
play Of ornaments is always one Of the
finest The jewels are valued at $4,000
The general impression is that the jewels
were taken from Mrs. Drexel while in the
crowds attending social functions. where
a thief could mingle without trouble.

NOW ENGLISH TAKE THE DEFEAT
Better B0at. Say All. and Also Better
Skipper and Crew. Say Some.

Special Gable Despatch TO TRh SUN.
LONDON, Sept 4.--The Americans retain
the Americas Cup because they possess
the better boat-this sums up the final
opinion OF the British public and press
in regard to the race. 1t Ia remarked of
Shamrock III. that her sailing has always
been untrustworthy, and some opinions
ascribe this to lack of training OF the crew.
Others, however, declare that the trouble
is that Capt. Wringe is inferior to Capt.
Barr as skipper.
"The representatives Of the United States,
says the Post -orc, taught us the secret
Of team shooting in an international COM
petition, but we have not been equally
susceptible to 'essons in regard to the
training Of a yachts crew"
There are some naval matters" the
DAILY Nevs says. -in regard to which, as
compared to Americans, we only know
the alphabet"
The Daily Telegraph expresses the idea
that nobody with sufficient expert knowl-
edge to warrant his passing an opinion
would doubt that Reliance was a cleverer
boat, the product OF a cleverer brain and
had been sailed by clever pair Of hands.
"Herreshoff is genius" exclaims the
Daily Express. -While he and Barr live
it does not seem possible that the Cup will
cross the Atlantic"
The Daily Graphic says the failure to
win a single sailed-out race since 1870 is
not flattering reflection for British yachts
men. The fault. il says, obviously lies
with the English boats and their designers
must wake up.
The papers all agree in congratulate
the victors and acknowledging that the
conditions were fair all through. There
Thomas Upton at his third failure TO lift
the Cup.
Some English newspapers. however. dwell
on the assertion that a Bri, ish beat is
handicapped because she has to he built
strong enough to cross the Atlantic. The
Liverpool journal of Commerce contends
that this reduces the race to farce and
that allowance ought to be made for the
difference in weight equal to that for the
difference in measurements. The London
Standard, however, says that it ia this
condition that gives the race its piquant
interest and that no sportsman would
wish to have it abrogated,
The Times says: Nobody here will
cavil at Sir Thomas Upton for not chal-
lenging again. He has done as much as

WON'T PARADE UNDER PARKS.
some OF the Unions Cannot stomach the
Plan 10 yinsiicate Him.

Since the plans for the Labor Day parade
have tended more and more to make 1t a
"vindication" Of Sam Parks by the old
Board of Building Trades, some Of the
important unions have backed out. They
don't like the effort to bring Parks into
prominence again by making him grand
marshal
While the Housesmiths and Bridgemen's
Union seem still to stand by him, the men,
bers Of the other unions who are sick OF
the strikes and shut down are bitter toward
him.
The following unions in the old board
have decided not to take part in the PARADE
Granite Cutters, Journeymen Stone Cutters.
Steam and Hot Water Filters and Helpers,
the Brotherhood of Boilermakers and the
Iron Shipbuilders.
None of the unions in the Board of Rep
resentatives, all of which have signed the
arbitration agreement Of the Employers
Association, will join in the parade. These
unions have an aggregate membership OF
81, 900.
Complaints have been made for the last
three or four weeks at the meetings Of the
Housesmiths and Bridgemen's Union by
women that they have to support their
husbands who have been made idle.
The housesmiths have to pay $3.50 each
for the uniforms to be worn in the parade,

that. At Mannerohor Hall yesterday.

MURPHY WANTS MCCLELLAN,

"CIean Young Man With Stainless Record"
the Chieftain Calls the Colonel-May

Getting Over Ills Fright About Jerome

Getting Over Ills Frtght AOOut Jerome
From sources almost as official as il
Charles F. Murphy had spoken came the
intelligence last night that Congressman
George B. Mcclellan will be announced as
the Tammany candidate for Mayor when
the city convention meets on Oct. 1, pro-
viding that the expected happens and Mayor
Low is chosen to head the fusion ticket.
Whether Mr.. Murphy is right or wrong
in his judgment he does believe that Con-
gressman Mcclellan will have no difficulty
in defeating Mayor Low. Mr.. Murphy
worried for week over the idea that Low
might withdraw or be put aside and some
independent Democrat nominated. He was
kept well informed Of the programme to
nominate jerome, and he looked on Mr.
Jerome as the most dangerous man that
Tammany might have to meet
After the fusion conference on Tues
day night Mr. Murphy breathed easier.
He is said to have told his friends that
Mayor Lows denomination was clearly in
dicated by that meeting, and that he was
glad Of it,
Mr. Murphy is wrapped up in the idea
that no Republican can carry New York
this fall He believes that Mayor Lows
administration has caused enough dis
affection among those who supported him
in 1901 to make it an easy victory for any
Tammany Hall candidate who has re-;
spectacle record to stand on.
In Mr. Murphy's opinion that makes
Congressman McClellan's nomination both
safe and expedient Said Mr.. Murphy
yesterday;
Mr. Mcclellan is a clean young man.
with stainless record in the municipal
service and in the House OF Representatives.
1T has been said that he is my candidate.
Well. am willing to confess that l think
he would be winning candidate and that
he would be elected over any candidate
that fusion might name.
Il have not attempted to dictate the
Democratic nomination. But as the man
chosen to be the leader OF Tammany Hall
have right to an interest in the candi-
dates and the campaign. l am open at
all times to suggestion and advice
1t has been pretty well understood around
Tammany Hall that Mr.. Murphy was sure
to nominate Col Mcclellan if Low was
named by the Republicans. who hold their
convention first. Should that programme
be upset and a Democrat named. Mr..
Murphy might be persuaded to choose
another candidate.
Col Mcclellan represents the district
in which Mr.. Murphy lives and they have
been close friends for many years. For
several months Col. Mcclellan has been
abroad and he is not expected back for
couple of weeks. 1t may be that he will
be nominated before be gets home
