SHE'S A SWIMMING DISH.
The Reliance's Floor Is Flat and
There Is Scarcely Any Bilge
b Thin Fin.

Bristol r. T., April 11.-Final prepara-
tions were being made to-day to launch
the new cup defender Reliance. Her in-
itial plunge is scheduled to take place at
$40 this afternoon. The weather cond1-
tions were ideal and the day was made
gala one in Bristol. Flags were displayed
from many buildings and at the Herres-
11off works. Moored off the end of the
dock the tender of the Reliance, the
steamer Sunbeam, was fancifully Gee
Grated with flags. Colonel Oliver Iselin,
the managing owner Of the Reliance,
spent to-day on the Sunbeam and re-
ceived a large number Of invited guests.
Many yacl1tsmen have come from New
York to witness the launching: The work
men have knocked away the doors at
the end of the shop so that the yacht
may pass easily into the water.
Although the boat was still somewhat
hidden by the staging 1t was possible by
rowing into the dock to obtain a good
look at her after end. It could be seen
that the Reliance was more Of a SKIM
ming dish than any boat the Herreshoffs
have constructed for a cup defender. Her
floor is very fiat and there is scarcely any
bilge her stern running well under and
not deepening into the keel for many
feet. The rudder post has decided rake
and the fin is very thin. The boat has
considerable beam and looks as If she
would be a decided contrast to the Con-
stitution when afloat.

In pursuance Of my orders based upon
the recommendation of General Samuel

when Captain Pershing approached the
fort last Monday he was fired upon ana
two men were severely wounded. Ihere
was Eothing left but to overcome the
resistance. e. The place was very strong,
surrounded by ditch thirty feet deep.
The first attack drove the defenders out
of the exterior trench. On April the
fort was assaulted and the ditch crossed
under fire, over a bamboo bridge made by
the troops. The walls of the fort were

place desperately BY p. m our troops
were in full possession. Many of the
Moros were killed.
Eleven wounded. Seven cannon, four
lantakas and many other captured arms.
Previous study of the situation, careful
preparation and disposition, accounts for
the small loss to our troops, so ably
commanded by Captain Pershing. He
has moved forward to complete his ex-
ploration and visit the friendlies, his OBJ

Rev. Frederick I. Stiles Leaves a
Bad Record at New Lon

New York Sun Special Service.
New London, Conn, April 11.-Rev.
Frederick I. Stiles disappeared from this
city few weeks ago, leaving many un-
paid bills. Miss Lillian Smalley, aged 20,
daughter of John Snalley, left town with
Stiles. A letter was received from the
girl to-day saying that she had been liv-,
ing in New York with Stiles but that he
had left her, taking her watch, umbrella
and other valuables. The girl wrote that
Stiles was still in the city and that he
had succeeded in getting considerable
money from clergymen to whom he rep
resented himself to be brother minister.
In her letter Miss Smalley does not give
her address in New York, but says she
is going to work to support herself. She
says that her eyes have been opened to
the kind of man Stiles Is.
According to other letters that have
been received by the Snalleys, Stiles was
in prison several years ago for misdeeds
and a relative of his wifes writes that
to her certain knowledge he has done no
work for the past fifteen years, but has
lived by imposing upon the credulity Of
people in various parts Of the country.
He is very smooth talker and has the
faculty of alaying the suspicion of his
victims by his cleverly constructed
stories. .{..5.a~ 'su~,. -

THE PACKERS MERGER
1t Is Said to Be Going On, Notwtthstand-
Ing the Decision.

Ing the Decision.
Chicago, April lit is asserted here
that undeterred by the decision Of the
United States circuit court of appeals Of
the eighth judicial district at St. Paul,
making void the Hill railway merger, the
plan for consolidation of the packing in
terests Of the country will be carried out
as quickly as possible.
The method of procedure will be grad
ual, following the lines by which the Ma
tional Packing company, representing
Swift, Armour and Morris interests, ac-
quired control Of the G. III. Howard COM
pany, the Hammond Packing company,
the Omaha Packing company and the
Anglo American Provision company
Practically the only large Chicago plant
left to fight the combination is that Of
Lipton & Co. All overtures Of purchase
have been rejected, Sir Thomas Upton
having cabled the local representatives
not to recognize any combination even If
a fight must result in financial losses.
& For weeks United States District At
torney Bethea has been gathering evil
dence against the packers and preparing
to attack the National Packing company
and its recent Incorporation under the
laws Of New Jersey, with a capital stock
of SIS, ,000,O 900, altho it expects to do a
business Of $50, 1000, 900 annually. It was
said last night that steps may be taken
in few days to have the packers involved
cited in court for contempt in disobey-
ing the injunction forbidding combination
In this way, it is held, the legality Of
this opening combination may be tested

CONTINUANCE is USELESS
Why the Defense Committee Advises
: AGAINST the Strike.

Why the Defense Committee Advises
: Against the Strike.
Amsterdam, April 1.-THE worknen's
defense committee has issued manifesto
explaining that a continuance Of the strike
will only expose the strikers to the penal
ties from the new anti-strike bill which
has practically become law. The commit
tee has therefore decided to leave each
trade union free to act as it thinks best.
The calling off the strike has resulted
in the holding OF angry mass meetings Of
strikers. The anarchists and socialists are
busy exploiting the situation, urging the
men to ignore the committee and continue
the strike. The men are inclined to follow
this course, finding themselves confronted
by dismissal and too deeply committed to
withdraw. Some rioting occurred at the
gas works last night, the police charging
a mob OF strikers who were intimidating
the non strikers. -
A cabinet council was held last evening
and it was resolved to continue the strong
military precautions which had begun to
be relaxed.
The disagreement between the strikers
and the workmen's defense committee
has resulted in the situation of affairs
becoming more threa atening. Further and
more stringent military precautions have
been taken. Extra troops have been sum-
moned here, and at the least sign Of
an outbreak martial law will be pro-
claimed. s.grzss i. < (. s>~-g&

The WAR OF The
sHAMROCKS
The Old Boat Wins the s4-Mils Race.
To-day on the Time Al
lowance.
She Was Fouled by Steam Yacht,
but the Conditions Were
Made Even.

Weymouth, England, April 1.-THE
course for the first real contest between
the two Shamrocks, under strict racing
conditions, was altered to-day to one OF
thirty -four miles, instead Of forty-two
miles, as announced yesterday. The start
ing line was off Portland, thence easterly
to a mark off Lulworth Cove and back
across the mouth of Weymouth bay to
mark off Portland and thence home, twice
around. The handicap allowed of the
Sham1 ock !. wass not officially declared
prior to the start, but it was understood
to be ten minutes.
During this jockeying the Shamrock III.
proved both faster and handler. The
starting time was:
Shamrock III ~ 901s
The T yachts quickly squared away, set
spinnakers and the new boat Immediately
opened out, constantly increasing her lead
from her opponent as they ran towards
Lulworth Cove. In twenty minutes run
ming the challenger gained two minutes.
The timings on turning the Lulworth Cove
mark were:
Shamrock III $3.50. 10 :40:03
Shamrock ...:.....:....:. .:......... O:42:55
Dropping their spinnakers the boats
luffed and came on the wind for the beat
to windward across the bay towards Port
land A couple of long boards were sailed
and the challenger going handsomely to
windward through the smooth water. Be-
fore they had gone half way to the mark
the Shamrock III. was a mile ahead and
dead to :windward. -r=,
The breeze freshened a little and both
yachts travelled at a fine pace, the chal-
lenger apparently reveling in the stronger
wind.
| When they turned the mark off Portland
the Shamrock III. had lead Of over six
minutes on less than twelve miles sail
ing. Thence a broad, easy reach brought
! the boats home and on this point Of sail
| ing the Shamrock I. held her opponent
we'll The first round was finished as
follows: =
Shamrock III, IL :57:1 :18
! The challenger's showing on the reach
was distinctly disappointing. On the sec
ond run down the wind to the Lulworth
lCove mark the old boat had somewhat of
an advantage by bringing up fresher
breeze and the Shamrock Ill was only
able to make minute and a half between
the marks.

The Situation Is Grave.

Vienna, April I'm. ST.. Cherbina was
one of Russia's promising diplomats. In
his previous posts he had made himself
obnoxious to- the Albanians and the sus-
picion exists here that he was deliberately
sent to Mitroyitza, where no other coun-
try has representative, in order to pro-
mote trouble. The danger he ran was
$50 patent that large escort Of Cossacks
was sent to accompany him.
Russia, before M. St.:sCherbina's death,
had protested against the sentence Of i'm
prisonment on his assailants, and demand
ed the latters execution. It is now ex-
|pected that she will insist on the murder
er's execution. Compliance with Russia 8
demand would expose the sultan to the
revenge: Of his bodyguard. which Is COM
posed Of Albanians, and Noncompliance
might mean possible Russian interven-

New York Sun Special Service.
Chicago, April 11.--Walter Wellman, in
a Washington special to the Record
Herald says: Great joy prevails in ad-.
minsstration circles over the governt
ment's success in the Northern Secur1-
ties company merger case. The friends
of President Roosevelt in their enthu-
siasm say this decision makes his NOM
nation and reelection certainty. In
their opinion the masses of the Ameri-
can people will give so much credit to
the president for his successful efforts
to curb monopoly as. to make him vir-
tually invncible in the political field.
OF course the democrats do not con-
cede this. They, say the merger case is
yet to be finally decided by the supreme
court of the United States, and that the
decision may be reversed. They point
to the fact that for a long time Mr..
Roosevelt was given much credit for his
creation of the New York franchise law,
but in the end the court of appeals came
along and knocked the whole thing out.
The democrats would like to convince
themselves that history is about to re-
peat itself for they recognize that if the
decision stands the administration will
be able to wear it as one of the bright
est plumes in next years campaign.
According to republican opinion it will
not make any serious difference if the
supreme court does reverse the decision.
President Roosevelt and the republican
party have won the applause Of the peo-
pie, they say, for their valiant efforts
to prevent the formation of monopolistic
combinations and no subsequent reversal
by the courts can destroy the. popular
! impression thus created.
The republicans are all the more jubi-
| liant because they had begun to fear the
country was not satisfied with the anti
| trust legislation of last winter. For some
| time the belief has been growing-based,
| as every Well-informed man in Washing
ton knows, upon solid facts-that trust
| legislation Of the late session was ef
fected thru a dicker made with the lead
| ers Of the trusts. The country was be-
| ginning to suspect the republicans of in
| sincerity. Now comes this decision and
| 1t is believed by the administration peo-
pie that it will completely check and off,
| set the tendency to doubt the honesty and
efficiency of the recent legislation. ~
