 The country is to be congratulated on the amount of substantial achieve ment which has marked the past year both as regards our foreign and as re- gards our domestic policy.

The congress has created the department of commerce and labor, including the bureau of corporations, with for the first time authority to secure proper publicity of such proceedings of these H great corporations as the public has the 3 right to know. It has provided for the 8 expediting of suits for the enforcement q of the federal antitrust law, and by another law it has secured equal treat $ ment to all producers in the transporta- ton of their goods, thus taking long stride forward in making effective the work of the interstate commerce conn mission.

SANDY Hook, August 25.-Marconi-
gran1.-ReIiance wins by 81 seconds.
New York, August 25.-The pros
poets for another good contest be-
tween the Reliance and Shamrock III
today were encouraging at o'clock.
A fine 7-hnot breeze was blowing out
of the southeast, the sea was fairly
smooth and the horizon clear for many
miles, giving the yachts, especially
the Shamrock, every opportunity to
prove their worth over the 30-miles
triangular course, which, according
to the program, must be sailed in the
second contest between the boats.
The course as signalled was south
for the first leg. The other two legs
were north by east one half east and
northwest by west.
The preparatory signal was fixed
at 10:45.
At II o'clock the starting gun was
fred.
Reliance crossed the line first.
The unofficial time is: Reliance,
11:00:37; Shamrock, 11:02:00.
At 11:05 Shamrock III was appar.
emily handicapped about 25 seconds,
as she crossed that much after the
handicap gun was fired. Thus her
starting time is 11:02:00, although she
crossed some seconds later.
Reliance crossed the line on the star
board tack, but Shamrock held away
too long and was behind the handi
cap gun. She Immediately upon
reaching the line came about on the
port tack and headed for the Jersey
shore, Reliance followed at once.
At 11:42:S0 Reliance tackled to star.
board, having held port tack since
1903. At 11:43:3O Shamrock III
went about on starbOard tack after
getting to the weather of Reliance's
wake. 1t looks as if Shamrock had
gained on Reliance during the past 5
minutes.
With Strengthening wind Reliance
has increased lead to three-eights or
half mile.
The yachts are holding starboard
tack, and are about opposite Mon
mouth beach, nearly miles offshore
Reliance is leading by quarter of a
mile. Shamrock seems to point high.
er today that Reliance.
The Reliance crossed the line a
minute and "a seconds ahead of the
Shamrock. She will have to lead the
challenger at the finish at minutes
and 21 seconds to win the race
At 1905 p. m. both boats turned the
first mark and set spinnakers for the
run to second.

HOT CONTEST ON
IN BUCKEYE STATE
Preliminary Meetings Demo-
Democratic Convention.
JOHNSON vEREsUs ZIMMERMAN
Guhernatorial Nomination Is the Most
Absorbing Observation-Disclosures
State Ticket and Many other lmpor-
karf Matters,

sSSiF@ Nl@6@~ASS
Columbus, O., August 25.-The pre-
lim1nary meetings Of the Democratic
state convention here today are the
most hotly contested in the history OF
the party in this state.
The contest between Mayor Tom l.,
Johnson, Of Cleveland, and John l..
Zimmerman, of Springfield, for the gu
bernatorial nomination overshawods
everything else SO that nothing was
heard today of the platform, the pro
posed constitutional amendments, SEN
atorial Endorsement or the rest of the
state ticket If Johnson wins at the
district meetings this afternoon and
at the meetings Of the committees to-
night, he will be able to name the SEN
atorial candidate and the rest of the
ticket and control the new state CEN
tral committee, as well as secure the
adoption of his platform, and If Zim-
norman controls the district meetings
of the delegates and the committees
he will be nominated and the Con
servatives will return to the control Of
the party.
The delegates meet by cOngression-
al districts at 4:30 p. m. to select
members of the committee and then
the committees meet at p. m.
The sessions of the committees on
credentials and resolutions are booked
for all-night sittings and those on per
manent organization, rules and order
of business will be less formal than
usual. The new senate committee is
not expected to do much tonight, NO
matter which side wins.
While the race between Johnson AMI
Zimmerman has been very close for
weeks on the day of voting, the odds
seem to be in favor of Johnson. His
arrival from Cleveland ON a special
train, accompanied by hundreds of
shouting followers, gave an impetus to
the occasion.
The Johnson men are SO much dI-
vided today on favorites for sena-
tOrtal Endorsement that some advocate
no action on that matter, but Mayor
Johnson himself still insists on it.
Among those mentioned by the John
son men are G. M. Saltzberger, Of Van
Writ; John H Clarke, of Cleveland
and John J. Lontz, of Columbus. The
Zimmerman men are not embarrassed
by senatorial preferences, as they will
vote for local favorites. The Hamil-
ton county delegates will support M.
e. ingalls, and the Franklin county del
egates Allen w. Thurman.

Turkish Government Refuses ExoaVa.
ton Privileges to Americans.
New York, August 25-After more
than three years of preparation and
effort, and the expenditure of more
than $4,000 plan for the excavation
of Ur Of the Chaldes and other places
In Babylonia by American explorers,
has been formally abandoned because
the Turkish government will not grant
permission to American citizens to do
work. In letter to subscribers of
the Ur exposition, the Rev. DR.. John
P. Peters, chairman Of the advisory
board says:
On June 10, 1900, an application was
made for an trade to excavat5 Maui
gheir, Ur of the Chaldes, and Nawa-
wis ruins in close proximity in south
ern Babylonia, and the required topo-
graphical map was submitted with
this application. The application was
in all respects in conformity with the
law Of the Turkish empire governing
excavations.
mo permission to excavate has been
obtained, nor has any satisfactory rea.
soa been given for the failure to grant
such permission. Later, at the sug-
gestion of the Turkish authorities, Tel
Ibraham was substituted for Maugheir,
with the same result.
"Dr. Edgar ]. Banks, the director
Of the expedition, has been in Con-
stantinople since Jan. II, 1901, earn
estly pressing the Turkish government
with the cooperation of the Uuited
States legation for permission to ex.
cavate."
