Queer points are raised from time 10
time in courts Of law For instance,
one just seriously reserved for consid-
Grafton by an Australian judge Of the
supreme court-namely, whether New:
Zealand is legally a British possession.
It sounds like joke.at the expense of.
that most ardent and energetic Of inn,
perialists; King Dick Seddon. At the
same time it Is possible there may be-
something in the point. Although Cap
tain Cook repeatedly urged upon the
imperial government the colonization'
Of New Zealand, no practical step was
taken until very late in the thirties,!
when it leaked out that the French
were contemplating the annexation of
the islands. It was a close race be-
tween British? and French man-of-i
war, the British ship winning by few
hours. 1t is conceivable in the excite;
ment Of the moment some formality in
the proclamation of British sovereignty
over New Zealand may have been over
looked. In 1886 a Frenchman who
called himself Baron de Thierry pro-
claimed himself sovereign chief Of
New Zealand" but his funds failed;
his ninety three followers deserted, and
he sank into obscurity.-London Chron-

New York, Sept. The, Reliance.
The American cup defender, Thursday
won the third and final race and the
series for that famous sea trophy, the
Americas cup. In dense fog, which
prevented vision beyond 200 yards,
she finished the race at 5:30:02 amid
the acclamations Of the assembled
feet. Shamrock Ill, after running for
more than an hour in the fog, missed
the finish line, passed by it and then
returned to it from the opposite di-
rection. AS the Reliance was then
being towed through the fleet, the
yachts ensign futtered through her
truck and spreaders in celebration of
the victory. Shamrock III. did not
cross the finish line. AS often saiu
of the race since the America won the
trophy there was no second. The re-
suit was achieved only after four fu-
tile attempts to sail off the final race
and the outcome had been admitted
even by Sir Thomas Upton to be a
foregone conclusion.
Thursdays was the eighth attempt
to sail race. After one fuke the
Reliance won the two following races,
one by minutes and seconds, and
the other by minute and 19 seconds.
Long Series Of FIukes. :.
A week ago Thursday the first at
tempt to sail the third race failed and
attempts have been made every day
this week. On these occasions the
Reliance led the Shamrock to the finish
line by two miles, but failed to reach
it before the expiration of the time
limit of 512 hours. ,.t,.
Thursdays victory means that the
cup is destined to remain in America
until England is able to produce a
genius equal to Herreshoff in yacht
designing. Rarely, if ever has there
been more spectacular finish than
that of Reliance Thursday. After
racing for more than an hour at ter
rife speed through binding fog, the
Reliance burst through the wall of
mist upon the vision of the spectators
of the fleet assembled at the finish
line and heeling under a great belly
ing balloon jib topsail, until her lee
rail was awash, flew across the finish
line almost before the spectators could
determine for a certainty that it was
she. Once more the Yankee boat had
added to the long string of victories
in contests for the honored old silver
trophy that carried with it the blue
ribbon of the sea. 5t%=

powers that the porte cannot guaran-

inquiry as to whether German marines
were among those United States Min Mii1
lister Leishman reported as having
been landed at Constantinople. s%
It is.inferred here, however, that the
conditions at the Turkish capital are
not SO bad as the sultan's notification
would imply, but that the legations
have been warned to look out for their
own safety, the porte disclaiming in
advance responsibility for any disor-
derly act. :. .ss5 5s.#.S
The foreign office officials admitted
that the German embassy at Constan-
tinople had not reported whether Ger
man marines had been landed. nor
whether marines Of any other power
had been landed. Complete Official
reserve is maintained on this point.
II Regarded as Acute.
The Associated Press correspondent
learned from sources outside the for
eign office that the German govern
ment regards ko-Balkan affairs as
having entered on an acute phase.
The porte's inability to take hold of
the Macedonian insurrection is the
worst feature of the situation: II I,
=, The apparent weakness of the Turk
ish government is due largely to its
the division in the councils within the
palace, which is regarded here as JUS
tifying the view that Turkey IS in
capable OF preserving order in her
European provinces unless she is al
lowed an absolutely free hand to deal
with the insurgents as she pleases.
Pressure is being brought to bear on
Russia and Austria on this point, as
a continuance of the crisis, it is as
serted, can only result in the drifting
OF the powers and the porte alike to-
ward fresh dangers. 4 /: .s. &.
