BRITISH OFFER TO JEWS.
Great Interest shown in the East Afri-
 can Project.

London, Aug. 24.-The English Jews are deeply interested in the announce ment made by Dr. Theodore Herzel. president of the sixth Zionist congress, at it's opening yesterday at Basel, Switzerland, that Great Britain, in view of the collapse of the project to es- tablish Jews OF the Sinai peninsula, had offered the Zionists a large tract of ter ritory in East Africa for colonization by the Jews, who would be given an autonomous government under British suzerainty.
 While some opposition is expected they believe that the congress will ac- cept the proposition. 1t is pointed out that there is a great difference between the acquisition of Palestine for the es- tablishment of Jewish state, as orig inally contemplated by the Zionists and the proposal of the British government, which simply contemplates the estab- lishment of a Jewish colony in sec tion of the British colonies needing de- velopment. ,. -,.--
 Lord Rothschild said to representa- tive of the Associated Press: Fearing Jewish emigration from the British isles, the government has offered a tract of land iii East Africa to Jews emigrating there. They will have only the rights and privileges of British sub jects, the same as their brethren en- toying here and elsewhere. They will be under British rule. same as they would be under American rule if they were allotted within American terri tory" ..# ,.5. ...,,-5 The editor of British newspaper said: Tn any event, refuge is not desired for the Jews of England or America, bus for those of Russia. Rou- mania and other European states, whose condition can only be improved by emigration" A
 The editor reiterated that the idea of acquiring Palestine had not been aban- doned, even in view of the British pro- posal being accepted.

NAVAL MILITIA ENoAMPMENT.
First Taste of Real Nvork-sonne of ths
 Drilling.

Mantle. Aug. 24-The first division of the Naval Militia, encamped here, got it's first taste Of real work to-day. Early this morning the men were marched to the shore Of Mantle bay, where boats from the Elfrida awaited them. After some preliminary practice in coming alongside ship and instruc- tion in oar work. the big twelve-oared cutters were manned and an hour or two was spent in stimulating a shore attack. A smooth place along the beach free from rocks was selected, and the boats were sent ahead at full speed. The instant the keel touched bottom all hands went overheard and, catching the boat at the oarlock, sent it as far up the beach as possible. Then the men grabbed their rifles and made an imaginary attack on the enemy on land. Everybody goes overheard in these at tacks-i including the commissioned off cer in charge. In their enthusiasm to beat out the other boats some of the .ment went over their necks in the wa ter consequently it was wet party of sailors that returned to camp at 4:sO o'clock this afternoon
 While the First division was on the water, the Second division drilled in in- fantry movements at camp, while the Third division took it's turn at guard ing the camp. There was very little out of the routine in camp Some of the officers visited New London this af- ternoon. The weather conditions con- tinue ideal and the health of the men is perfect.
 The Elfrida returned to New London after landing the sailors, as it was deemed safer to have secure harbor in the event of a storm arising.

READY FOR TO-DAY'S RACE.
SHAMROCK WELL SAIL ON THE
 SAME WATERLINE.
HOO Pounds of Lead BaIiast Taken Out of Her to Meet the Addition of Chain and Anchor-Tims Allowance Exactly the sanse-sir Thomas Says He is Not Despondenf.
Respondent.

New York, Aug. 24.-After having re- moved HOO pounds of ballast on board cable and anchor weighing that much were put on the Shamrock III. and she was remeasured in drydock in Erie basin to-day. The net result was that there was no change in the time allow ance of one minute and fifty-seven sec- onds which the Reliance is compelled to give her. The challenger was just three of a foot shorter than before the change, and that differ ence was not sufficient to make a sec ond's increase or decrease in her time allowance. Her load waterline length is now S9.7S feet and her racing length 104.375. .-
 A new main boom measured to-day was no longer than the old one. In to- morrow's race Shamrock III. will carry new mainsail The new sail was bent on to the spars to-day after the chal- lenger had reached her anchorage. The new sail is a Ratsey, and Sir Thomas Lipton and Captain Wringe assert that the change is made not because the other mainsai was considered inade- quate, but that the new sail, which has been tried before and found good one, may be better in the style of racing to be followed tomorrow. The new main sail when fully stretched was much better fit than the old one. Sir Thomas Lipton was close watcher of the change of sails.
 To an Associated Press correspondent he said: "The remeasurement was sim ply form so that every portion of the conditions under which the race is made would be complied with. It was the simplest matter in the world to add the anchor and chain and take que the same amount of our lead ballast, or to leave on the lead and remove the anchor and chain. Tell me what difference it is. will you? Mind you, I'm not finding any fault, but simply making query as to what was gained by the remeas- urernent
 Then with smile and pointing to a buhch of telegrams on the table he said: tI see am accredited with being de- spondent and unhappy over Saturdays result Well, I'm neither I wish we might have won, tis true. I am not at all willing to concede that the Reliance is winner. My boat will make a good showing yet. also want it understood that have not criticised Captain Wringe's sailing of Shamrock III. on Saturday"
 Shamrock III. did not go out after re- turning from New York. The Reli- ance's crew watched with interest the Shamrock's men at work on their new sail.
 The Reliance will go out tomorrow with new jib, but otherwise in the same trim as the first day MT. Iselin and Captain Barr declined to talk of the Reliance's ability. in a triangular race. or why they had changed their jib.

Big Stake.

Readville, Mass, Aug. 24.-Before a large crowd and with track and weather conditions perfect Lou Dillon accom- plished at ReadviTle track this after noon what American trotting horse breeders have labored years to produce "a mile in two minutes. Fearing that to delay until late in the day would re- suit in a breeze rising, Willard Sanders, driver of the great mare, decided to make the attempt as early as possible. Therefore, after one heat in the regular events had been decided he brought the daughter of Sidney Dillon out for the attempt. For pace-makers there were two running horses hitched to road carts-Peggy from Paris, driven by Doe" Tanner, and Carrie Nation, driy- en by Scott Mccoy.
 The score was fruitless,. Lou Dillon making break just before reaching the wire. On the second attempt, how ever, the word was given, though Start ing Judge Walker rang his bell, but Tanner nodded for him to say "Go." ]" and, turning to Sanders, called to him to come along. Tanner kept Peggy from Paris directly in front of the peerless chestnut trotter, while Mccoy laid at her wheel. Tn this way the trio were at the quarter pole in 30A seconds. With never skip Lou Dillon went so smooth gaited down the backstretch as to lead those not timing the mile to believe that her speed was not alarmingly fast. The half was clicked off in 1:O0%. Around the turn to the quarters pole the clip quickened, the third quarter being in 30A seconds, making that mark of her journey in 1:31. Then came the crucial test. Faster and faster came Tanner with the runner, and right with him trotted the handsome California; bred mare. Sanders was sitting per- fectly still, but Mccoy was crying aloud to his runner to cheer on Lou Dillon. To the amazement of all the quarter was in 29 seconds, thus making the mile in the wonderful time of two minutes.
 When Sanders logged the mare back to the wire everybody present stood on their feet and sent forth cheer after cheer. Lou Dillon was apparently as fresh as though she had only been out for jogging exercise. Sanders said he fully believed that before the season closes he will drive the mare in 1.59 or better.
 Fayorites won all the four racing events, Scott Hudson driving two of the winners-Norvolo, $10o against sS5 choice, and Dillon Boy, that sold for $50 in auction pools of about $130. Budd Doble, the famous driver of champions, pulled off the Blue Hill' stake for s5,- 900 with Kinney Lou, while Curry had no bother leading a summary with Al Book, which was a s10O to $40 favorite.
 Ben H. caused some excitement in the first heat of the 2:14 trot. When SCOT ing he was run into, which threw his driver out of the sulky, and he went two miles with the sulky dangling at his heels before he could be stopped.
 It was announced that on Friday Ma ior Delmar will go against the gelding record for trotters. 2:0SA, held by The Abbott. Summary: @ x ,.
