New York, Aug. 2G.-In a glorious
whole sail breeze, over a triangular
course, ten miles to leg, the fleet-footed
cup defender Reliance again on
Tuesday showed her heels to Sir Thorn
as Lipton's challenger, taking the Sec
ond race OF the cup series of 1903 by the
narrow margin of one minute and 10 sec
onds. 1t was as pretty and as hard a
fought contest as has ever been sailed
off Sandy Hook, and had the wind not
fallen during the last ten minutes, the
record for the course, three hours, -
minutes and Is seconds, made by Column
bia two years ago in her memorable race
against Shamrock H.. would have been
broken AS it was, Reliance sailed the
80 miles within two minutes and 80 Sec
onds of the record, which speaks Won
ders for her speed in the wind that was
blowing.
Reliance's victory, narrow as it was,
would have been even smaller had not
Capt. Wringe, the skipper of the British
ship, bungled the start, sending his
craft over the line 10 seconds after the
last gun and handicapping her to that
extent. At every point of sailing the de-
tenders superiority was demonstrated.
She gained one minute and 81 seconds
in windward work, 40 seconds on the
run to the second mark, and As seconds

of which were occupied by a fancy
goods firm and the upper floors are res
idential flats. There were 200 work
people in the building and the escape
of many of them and of the residents
on the third and fourth floors was cut
off by the flames. The warehouse
contained piles of flimsy material
and the flames, which were de-
tected at seven o'clock, spread
with frightful rapidity ard soon
reached the residential floors. Only the
work people near the doors below were
able to effect their escape The resi-
dents above, seeing their escape cut off,
chung desperately TO the windows,
screaming for help. The firemen held
out sheets of canvas and called to them
10 jump. 1t is now stated that between
40 and SO persons were burned to death,
including Herr Goldberg's wife and
son. The police announce that by
jumping from the windows thirteen
persons were killed and sixteen injured,

mated at 100000 kronen, mostly COW
cred by insurance.

CORN CROP is GAINING.
Marked Improvement Is Reported
from Kansas and
Nebraska.

Washington, Aug. 26.-The crop re-
port issued by the weather bureau says:
Complaints of cool nights reported from
the central Mississippi and Ohio way
leys, but the temperature conditions
throughout the country as whole have
been very favorable.
On the whole, the corn crop has made
favorable progress, especially over the
central and western portions of the corn
belt, the most decided advance being re-
ported from Nebraska and Kansas. In
the upper Ohio valley corn is suffering
seriously for rain. The reports indicate
that early corn will be safe from frost
by September Is to October 1, and late
corn from October Is.
Considerable spring wheat remains to
be cut in North Dakota, but harvesting
is practically finished elsewhere.
Cotton has suffered materially from
heavy rains and lack of sunshine over
large part of the central and eastern
districts of the cotton region.
The condition of tobacco is generally
favorable.
The reports indicate very general de-
cline in the condition of apples, except in

LORD SALISBURY DEAD.
Former Premier OF British Empire
Is No MOre-icnd Was Expected
by Family.

London, Aug. 24.-The Marquis OF
Salisbury, former premier of England
died at Hatfield house at 9:05 o'clocl,
Saturday evening on the fiftieth anniver-
sary of his first election to parliament
Lord Salisbury was unconscious for
eighteen hours before he died.
Lord Salisbury was born February 10,
1880. He was second son of the second
marquis of Salisbury. Known at first
as Lord Robert Cecil, and after his
elder brothers death. by the courtesy
title of Viscount Cranborne, he sue
ceeded his father as marquis April H.
1866. He entered parliament in Feb
ruary, 1854. He held the office of sec
rotary for India in Lord Derby's minis
try from July, 1866, to March, 1867. In
1874 he entered the cabinet of Disraeli
again as secretary for India. He be-
came foreign secretary in April. 1878.
He held the office of prime minister in
two administrations-from June, 1885
to February, 1886. and from August,
1886, to August. 1892.
Lord Salisbury's death and the conse-
quent elevation of Viscount Cranborne
to the marQuisate necessarily will result
in changes in the cabinet. The new
marquis of Salisbury cannot retain his
undersecretaryship in the house of lords
where the marquis of Lansdowne repre-
sents the foreign office Viscornt Gran
borne's departure from the house of
commons and his consequent elevation
to the house of lords will cause by
election in the Rochester division.
