Cup Challenger Injured.

WEYMOUTH, April l7.-Sir Thomas
Lipton's new challenger for the Amer
ica's cup was dismasted in a squall
today, shortly after leaving this har-
Dor preparatory to another trial spin
with the Shamrock |. Her mast, as it
fell over the side, carried several of
the crew and all the gear and canvas
overheard. One man was drowned
and several persons, including Sir
Thomas, who was knocked down a
hatchway, were bruised or otherwise
injured. The man who was drowned
was brother-in-law of Captain
Wringc. He was handing a binocu.
lar class to Sir Thomas at the time

A German Idea of Americans.

BERLIN, April 16.-The delegation
of estate owners which agricultural
societies are sending to America will
leave Friday on the Hamburg liner
Etruria. The party, which numbers
forty-six, includes two Bohemian
counts.
In a pamphlet containing travelling
directions, which has been dlstrl buted
to the party, light clothing is recon-
mended for the summer.
1.-THE American the pamphlet says,
"wears light trousers, a leather belt,
short and light jacket. All business
visits, even by high persons, are made
in travelling suits. Only at festival
dinners are evening clothes worn.'
The travellers are urged to take their
own cigars, as they "cannot buy any
thing smokeable under 10 cents.'
The program made out by the Uni
ted States department of agriculture
for May and June requires 1000 miles
of travelling to the Pacific coast and
return.

Too Many Candidates.

NEW ORLEANS, April l6.-In conse.
quence of the large number of local
candidates in the present Mississippi
campaign, between 5000 and 5000 in
all, the farmers in many of the coun-
ties have abolished the time-honored
usage in Mississippi that the farmer
shall entertain every candida ate, his
horse included, who comes to him to
explain the political situation and
solicit his vote.
The burden, always born willingly y
in the past, has become grevious this
year, and especially in consequence OF
the failure of the corn crop, for the
entertainment of horses is expensive.
In Leake county, the farmers have
agreed to house and feed the candi-
dates, but to charge for the horses. In
Warren and other counties, at the re-
quest of the farmers, the local candi'
dates have agreed to make no house
to house canvass, but to go before the
voters on their merits, both candid ates
and farmers saving by this agreement.
The next legislature will be asked to
modify the primary election law of the
state SO as to assure protection against
an excessive crop Of candid atcs.

WEYMOUTH, April lS.-The Sham

The destruction of the standing gear
was almost complete. Everything
above the deck must be renewed. The
present object is not salvage, but to
clear away the wreckage as quickly

accident, but is recovering.

Scores the President.

ROCHESTER,, N. y, April 1.-THE
Western New York Old Maid conven-
tion was opened yesterday in the vii.
lage OF Pittsford. Miss Amelia Hig-
ginson, president, in her opening ad
dress said:
"President Roosevelt believes in the
rearing of large families. He has a
right to his opinion, but when he
places childlessness in the same cate
CORY with criminal acts, he goes too
far. The president is the father OF
what we Americans would call d large
family. He is not the mother Of a
large family. We have heard nothing
about race suicide from the mothers
of America, and we never shall. Let
the president grapple with the trusts,
the tariff and the coming election.
They are more in his line. He can
safely leave the question of ba oies in
the hands of the women of this great
republic.'

union without cause and supplantlng
them with imported girls.
Several days ago the head operator
at the long distance board was dis.
missed and the employees threatened to
go on strike unless she was immedi-
ately reinstated. Today the crisis
came when report reached this city
that IL girls had been sent from Salt
Lake City by the telephone company
to take the places of the present en-
ployes and at about $50 o'clock 80 Of
the girls went out. Three young la
dies were induced by the management
to remain at the board for about three
hours when they too were won over by
the striking misses.
The scene tonight at the telephone
excha ange was one of excitement, the
striking girls and the labor delega-
tions having surrounded the telephone
building and posted pickets to pre-
vent the Salt Lake girls being SNUG
gled into the building before chance
to confer with them has been had. The
girls declare they are for a night of it.

and confessed. Clifton is a rancher
and lived near the Churches.
Clifton said that after numbering
the Churches and hiding their bodies
in granary on the Church ranch
temporarily he hauled them two miles
away and buried them. Before doing
so he stripped the bodies of jewelry,
which he afterward had made over in
to ring for himself. He then drew
up bills of sale in Church 3 name and
disposed of the stock and some OF the
household goods, all the while making
his abode on the Church ranch, Cliff
ton claims that he killed the couple in
self defense, shooting the woman first.
1t had been reported that Church and
Clifton had had trouble over advances
made to Mrs. Church by Clifton.
Feeling is high in the neighborhood
of the crime, which is southwest o:
Gillette, about 20 miles, and it is fear
ed an attempt will be made to Lynch
Clifton.

Money for the Philippines.

PHILADELPHIA, April l7.-There are
ready for shipment to the Philippines
$500, 900 pesos coined at the Philadel-
phia mint in the last 25 working days.
The coinage in this case is equal to
the minting of the same number of
American dollars, and it thus requir-
ed the handling Of an average of lO0,-
900 pesos daily for the % days. Dur.
ing this time the mint also added to
the Philippine coinage 9, 100000 pieces
of bronze, valued at S9l 900, and $500,
900 nicklcs. valued at SlSO,OOo.
Superintendent Laydis said the work
done was rem ark able, when it is taken
into consideration the recent depletion
of the force.

The Irish Land Bill.

DUBLIN, April 16.-By unanimous
vote the Irish national convention
which met here today, accepted in
principle the Irish land bill intro
duced in the house of commons by Mr..
Wyndham, chief secretary for Ireland,
and entrusted to John Redmond and
his party the task of securing in the
house of commons several amendments
in various points in view of the inn
portance which the national conven-
tion may consider essential. The
convention will outline the shape that
the amendments should take tomorrow
and on Saturday Lord Dunraven, the
lord mayor, Captain Shave Taylor,
John Redmond, William O'Brien and
T. W. Russell at likely to meet at a
round table conference to discuss the
landlords and tenants opinions on
the land bill and try to arrive at a
common basis of parliamentary action.
Today's proceedings at the convention
revealed discomfort with various feat
ures OF the bill, but nothing so serious
as to Indicate danger OF its ultimate
rejection. Even Michael Davitt, who
had an opportunity of dividing the
delegates into two bitterly opposing
camps and who, amidst dramatic ex'
citement, subordinated his own views
pledged himself to abide by the ver-
dict. John Redmond and VIM. .O'Brien
triumphed over all objections; indeed
the objectors, save Michael Davltt,
were scarcely given hearing by the
deleg ates.
