New York. Aug 19.-Word has been received at the A. A. U. headquarters of the proba bility of few champion Irish athletes coming over to compete for honors in the near future. TWO of these are pretty certain to come. They are the brothers F. I. and q. J. Ieahy of Charleville. County Cork, noted performers in the high and broal jumps. P. J.

 WASHINGTON, Aug. 1o.-The irn- portant information has been given out at the Colombian legation that ill the cable dispatch received in regard to the Colombian senate's action on the canal treaty there was a statement at the end of the dispatch to the effect that another proposftion' was under considera tion.''
 This is taken to mean, as interpreted in the light Of previous dispatches to Dr. Herran, that the Colombian con- gress will adopt resolution authoriz- ing President Marroquin to negotiate a treaty with the United States along certain lines, and when a complete agreement has been reached between Colombia and the United States, to ex- change notifications without again sub- hitting the treaty to the Colombian congress. When such a resolution has been passed by the congress that body will adjourn and the matter will have reached stage where there can be no further doubt of successful ccnclu- sion of the whole matte;

 New Haven, Aug 19.-Holyoke added another victory to her tally yesterday afternoon, at the Rock, by defeating New Haven 9 to 5. On the whole the New Haven team has little to be proud of in the exhibition, for with the ex- ceptidn of an occasional good piece of work the Blues put up a rather unin- teresting game. Holyoke's playing was pretty well up to the standard, and although Clancy was a little wild during the first part of the game, his support prevented more serious results tor the visitors. Tuckey's support was very poor, and it was especially notice able that Perkins's playing was de cidedly off color. The features of the game were double plays by Golden and Hayward, Mccormick and Slater; Clancy, McAndrews and Slater, and Batch's batting and fielding. The score:

Hernais Beats Irish Lad.

SARATOGA. N. r., Aug. 19.-Her mis beat Irish Led in the Merchants stakes very handily. He was aided par ticularly by clever piece of riding on the part of Odom. At the start Master man shot to the front, and Hermis and Irish Lad trailed behind, both undef wraps. Hermis was in bad pocket, l-oving Masterman in front of him and Irish Lad on his whip side. They ran in this way for three furlonGs. For a second Bullman let Masterman get away from the rail path and Odom shot through the hole in an instant and was three lengths to the good in a half dozen strides. The lead thus gained he never relinquished and eventually pull ed up a winner in 1:51 3-5, only one fifth of a second behind his record. Driven out, it is possible he would have hung up a mark of 1:50.

A THRESHOLD GREETING.
Pretty Incident of the Arrival of . Ship1Oad of Immigrants in
 New York Harbor.

An Italian emigrant steamer, every available foot of it's deck space crowded with sea-worn passengers, steamed into New York harborI and was making it's way up to North river dock. Just in midstream a double-decked ferry-boat, laden with commuters from New Jersey suburbs of the big metropolis, slowed up to allow the steamer to cross its bows, relates Youths Companion.
 For moment or two the commuters, most of them New York business men on the way to their offices, stared with cool indifference at this shipload of peasant foreigners, many of them fresh from the slavery of Sicilian sulphur mines, others from the worn-out, tax-ridden fields of Calabria. Tn mute wonder, much as might so many round-eyed oxen, the immigrants gazed. at the prosperous-looking inhabitants of the new land to which they had come.
 Then young man on the upper deck of the ferry-boat, prompted perhaps by nothing better than spirit of fun, waved 8 newspaper. That was enough. Those 2,000 -wearied peasants, who had cut all ties of home and country, who had braved all the terrors of a trip across the big ocean to try their fortunes in strange land among strange people they understood. The careless way ing of that newspaper meant to them a friendly welcome from the kinsfolk of their adoption; it meant cheery greet ing from the land of the free.
 And how they did respond! Tn an in stant the crowded decks blazed with color, became alive with motion. A thousand gay-hued neck-handkerchiefs were in the air, a thousand battered hats were waving.
 High, shrill and clear lifted the joyous shouts from the crowded decks. There were smiles and jests and laughing. The new world has recognized them, had greeted them in friendly manner. Hur- rah! All was well now.
 Across the narrow strip of water separating the two boats leaped the en- thusiasm. It spread among the com muters. Cold indifference gave way to good-natured interest. Brokers, mer- chants, bankers, clerks, young women stenographers-all caught the spirit of the moment. Silk hats, derbies and white handkerchiefs were waved in an- swer to the salute of the poor immi- grants. Between the two sets of passen- gers, of course, was still wide social gulf, but for the moment humanity bridged it clear and fair.
 If the immigrants went on to meet the vacations awaiting them at Ellis Is- land with cheered hearts, so several hun- dred New Workers took up the worries of business day with the vague con- seriousness of having participated in a kindly act

WAsTEFULNEss OF AMERICANS
PrOd1sality in Use of Food and Cloth
 1nS Something Appalling Lost Farm Products.

Promising that the American people are the slowest in the world to be aroused on the subject of economy, the Independent calls attention once more to the great items of waste in our na- tional life. says the New York World.
 While our industries are expanding with amazing rapidity we are using up our forests, our oil wells, our natura! gas and our coal beds as recklessly as if we thought they would last forever. Prof. Gorby declares that the waste of natural gas in Indiana alone is equal in value to S10,000 per day. Within a single century we have annihilated 97 per cent. of our magnificent forest trees. a waste without parallel in history, and one for which posterity will surely re- proach us.
 Our waste of food is appalling. Cook ing is lost art in the average house hold. At least $1 ,O60, ,0o0 is every year thrown away in defective cooking; so Prof Matthews estimates There is no comfort in the fact that the English people are just as prodigal, though they have much leaner pantry to draw up- on. Prof. Marshall, an eminent English economist, says the British working classes spend $500,000.0O0 every year for things that give them neither com fort nor happiness, and the president of the British association recently ex- pressed his belief that this vast sum was wasted in food alone.
 On our farms twice as much food products at least are growa as are con- sumed. An agricultural expert recently estimated that one-half of all the fruit grown in American orchards rots un- eaten. The further loss from insects, ignorant cultivation, careless handling and poor storage Is incalculable.
 Probably the greatest waste of all is that which seems to be involuntary on the part of our working people. They buy their bread at retail and pay three times as much for it as if they bought it in four by the barrel. It is the tes- timony of retail butchers that the poor buy meats also with far less frugality than the rich. Edward Atkinson has been for 20 years showing by practical experiments that the largest amount of nourishment can be obtained from the cheapest cnts of meat, if they are so cooked as to save instead of throw away the food there is in them. But as the Independent says, buying at wholesale is unknown to the majority of American families, and we support vast number of middlemen whose profits might be easily saved.
 Our contemporary's conclusion that studies in domestic economy might be carried into our schools with great ad- vantage is sensible. Five times our present population at least could and should be we'll fed without any increase of our cultivated area. We cannot continue our present extravagances for ever. Waste not, want not is a sound maxim for nations as we'll as individu- aIS

R1ans and Ideas of Ae;uinaIdO While at the Head of the Insur-

Speaking of Aguinaldo's limitations reminds me of what an officer told me not long ago, writes Arthur Stanley Riggs. in Atlantic. He had been in the party that met Gen., then Col, Funston, when returning with the cap- tured President" Capt was among the first to go through the in- surgent's papers. Among them he found the diary kept by Aguinaldo, which showed what the mans ideas were regarding the responsibilities resting upon the leader of the new re- public he so fondly imagined could be established. He, Aguinaldo, his chief adviser and confidant, with their re- spective wives and a proper suite, in tended to make tour of Europe that should last at the very least year. Other entries in the diary showed the discussions the four had had about the trip, what they should see, and how the vast moneys they counted upon should be spent. This book was begun not long after the famous Malolos congress, and during the most critical period of the indicative republic, the most keen ly anxious moments of the ex-Washer- mans career. Aguinaldo, though most people, even in the islands, do not know it, was in 1896 a common washerman in the Cavite arsenal's laundry, and had so poor knowledge of Spanish that the Castilians themselves declared that he spoke it de cocina, or kitchen-fashion. Like a good many other tauos, he was an adept at lightning political changes, and so, when he jumped from the party with which he had been connected to new one. some time after this, and was made capftano municipal in the same year, it occasioned no one any great surprise.

YACHTS MEASURED.
Reliance to Allow Shamrock
 III. Inn. 45s.
DEFENDER SPREADS MORE SAIL.
Both Slxasnmers Of tfe Sea Resdy For First Great Race-DeSigners HerreshofR and Fife Spectators
 of Official Measuremeat

NEW YORK, Aug. 19-The Reliance and Shamrock III. were measured i'll the Erie basin by c. D. Mower. the off cial measurer of the New York Yacht club. As q result of his measurements the Yacht club that the Reliance would allow the challenger I'm. 45s. over a thirty mile course.
 It was found that the Shamrock III. was slightly longer on the water line than the American boat, but the latter proved to have nearly 2,000 more square feet of sail area than the chal-i lenger, and it was this enormous sail spread that taxed the American boat so heavily.
 The announcement of the time allow ance in favor of the challenger caused but little surprise at the Yacht club, as it was the very general belief that the Reliance would prove considerably lar ger all around than her opponent.
 Reliance and Shamrock III. swung lakily at their moorings inside Sandy Hook, ready for the international con- test for the Americas s cup, the first race of which will be sailed tomorrow. The Shamrock III. merely returned to her old mooring place, the Reliance coming there fo. the first time. The day was one of exceeding interest to all directly interested in the international race, be- ing devoted to the official measuring and final groonings of both yachts. The cleaning of the underbodies of both has been completed, and Charles D. Mower, the official measurer of the New York Yacht club, stretched his steel tape from truck to deck and from the end of the bowsprit to the extreme point of the after overhang of both racers.
 As one result about eight inches of the end of the spinnaker boom of the Shamrock TIL was sawed off owing to the fact that it was estimated to be that much longer than the base of the forward triangle, which covers the head sails of the yacht, which would mean penalization if allowed to stand. Sir Thomas Lipton as we'll as MT. Ise- lin and Designers Herreshof and Fife were interested spectators of the work of Mr. Mower. Designer Fife evidently desired that the Shamrock H. should be measured while down by the stern as much as possible, for everything movable, even to the jib sheet leader blocks, was moved and slowed amid ships.

NEW YORK, Oct. 19.-A storm cen ter in northern Ontario was reported as moving east and causing considera- ble disturbances, which are likely to be reflected in the winds over the course to be sailed by the yachts Reli- ance and Shamrock III. From present meteorological indications it may be quite safely inferred that the racing yachts will have some winds sufficient to enable them to cover the prescribed course within the time limit, but there is no reason to- suppose. that they will have anything approaching gale.

Danger In MountaIn Climbing.

Danger is by no means an attrac- tion to the true mountaineer. Some people may so affirm, but scarcely ever does an expert place himself in dan- gerous situation, and if he does it is not from choice, and he does not like it. Sometimes he may take a risk, but seldom, unless all the chances are in favor of the climbing party and the possibility of accident exceedingly re- mote. What he does love is to elimi- nate by experience and skill all danger from a climb, which, to novice, 8 clumsy worker or party unsupplied with or neglecting to use proper equip ment fer mountaineering, would be hazardous or quite impossible.-Les- lies Monthly.
