Motive for Murder Diccovered.

San Francisco, August 31-Patrick
Leary has confessed to relations of in
timacy with Mrs. Martha Powers, and
the police are confident that they
have at last discovered a motive for
the death of Martin Bowers. 1t is be-
Heved, however, that Leary has by
no means disclosed all he knows. The
landlady where Leary lived was ques.
toned as to Leary's movements dur.
ing the early part of last week, and
said that he had not been home since
Tuesday. The prisoner then admit
ted, after some reluctance, that he
was at the Bowers house In company
with Mrs Bowers. Mrs. Bowers when
confronted with the statement of
Leary was taken completely aback
for the moment, but finally admitted 1t
was true.

ON lSTHMUS REVOLT
SEEMS IMMINENT
Probable Result of the Canal
Treaty Rejection.
BY THE COLOMBIAN CONGRESS.

1t Is Said that Only Vigorous Action
on the Part of the Government Can
Prevent an Outbreak-GeneralG Guer.
tas May Have Influence.
New York, August 31.-The spirit of
revolution Is gaining in force on the
isthmus as the result of the rejection
of the canal treaty by the Colombian
congress at Bogota, says Times dis
patch from Panama.
Only vigorous action on the part Of
the government can prevent an out
break, the correspondent asserts, and
it is doubtful whether such action is
possible.
General Guertas, commandant at
Fort Chtriqui and virtually the COM
mander of all the government forces,
in and around Panama is at this time
the only officer to whom the goven-
ment may look with any hope of check
ing any revolutionary spirit Even he
is warm sympathizer with the canal
project.
AS for the naval force, it is practi-
cally controlled by Americans or pro-
American Englishmen. They form the
cunning, navigating and engineering
forces.

The gale, however, had left as to-.
ken Of its strength, very heavy swell
so that when the two boats with Sham.
rock in the lead turned the point o.
Sandy Hook, they at once began to
roll and wallow like a couple of coal
barges
The day had little attraction for
spectators, for the dark clouds which
still hung low, seemed to threaten
rain at any moment, while the uneasy
c jan had little to invite any except
the stoutest sailor. The decision of
the yachts owners to start the race
and terminate if possible the series,
was accepted on all sides, as interest
in the races had been pretty well
dampened by the numerous delays.
Instead of by a fotilla the yachts
were accompanied to the start by
scarcely half dozen tugs, a few steam
yachts and two or three excursion
boats, so that the revenue cutters,
which arrived on the scene a little
later, had very little to do in keeping
the space about the lightship free from
interference. The yachts hoisted their
mainsails before leaving at the start
and were well out to the lightship by
10 o'clock, an hour before the time
set for the contest.
At 8:31 in the worning the wind
gauge at Sandy Hook registered 10
miles from the northeast
The committee boat signalled the
course-15 miles to windward and re.

The regatta committee then fixed
the starting line about 4 miles south
