Adams nlust Stay.

5 New York, Aug. 26.- Justice Bart.
 lett, sitting in Brooklyn to-day, denied
 an application of All Adams, the poll
 icy king, for a certificate of reasonable doubt Justice Scott recently denied a similar application made so that
 Adams could be released on bail pend-
 ing decision of the court of appeals
 on his conviction
 The main contention on the part of
 counsel for the policy king was that he
 was convicted on testimony that was really furnished by himself, his private
 papers having been taken from a trunk
 and used against him.
 Justice Bartlett devotes almost his en- tire opinion to this point and declares that the use of the evidence thus ob- tained was perfectly proper. He points out that even if the search warrant did not justify the seizure of the defend- ants papers, that fact did not render them inadmissible as evidence against him. This view is absolutely sustained by authority and will be found support ed by a score of decisions in courts of last resort"

SOUND DISASTER.
Bady Recovered from capsized Schooner Newton Identified.

South Norwalk, Aug. 26.-Field s. Pendleton and W. S. Pendleton, jr.. of
 the firm of Pendleton Brothers, of New York, owners of the schooner Willie L.
 Newton, whichs turned turtle in the sound yesterday afternoon, arrived here tonight and identified the body which floated out of the cabin of the capsized
 vessel as that of Captain Edward Coombs, of North Islesboro. Me. Ar arrangements were made to ship the body by the midnight train to Captain Coombs' home. Captain Coombs had been employed for many years by Pen dIeton Brothers and had been master of the Willie L. Newton for twenty years. His wife survives him. He was prominent in Masonic circles in Maine, being a Knight Templar. Tonight the Pendletons visited the wreck in Wilson's Cove. They will make an effort to raise the vessel and have her lowed to New York for re- pairs. Captain Minor, of the tug Pa tience, who picked up the schooner and
 lowed her into, port, will remain by her tonight and will proceed to Providence with his tow of barges to-morroW. e$ :
 The Newton was capsized six miles
 east-southeast of Greens Reef light in Long Island sound. As the craft was
 completely overturned while the sails
 were being lowered it is believed that the entire crew. numbering probably seven men, were drowned. One body, that of Captain Edward coombs. was recovered. The wreck was sighted by Captain Walter Minor. of the ocean-go- ing tug Patience, of New York, as his vessel was towing barges from New
 York to Providence. He first saw a schooner's keel above the water. and,
 being convinced that some craft had met disaster, he anchored his tow and steamed in to the derelict. On deter mining the fact that a good-sized schooner had been wrecked he attached line to the keel and brought the yes- sel into wilson's Point dock, Norwalk, to-day.

WORK OF STATE TARS.
An Interesting Dny in small Boats Er-
 " f., pected To-day, v

@ Camp Reynolds, Mantle, Conn.,, Aug. 26.-The officers and men of the first di- vision, naval battalion, encamped here, are looking forward to to-morrow's duty which will be in the small boats on Mi antic bay and. perhaps, Long Island sound. The coast drill will be little more extended, weather permitting.
 This morning the third division par ticipated in the rescue of a naptha launch. with a New London party on board. The launch was half filled with water and with waves knocking her about like a feather was in imminent danger of filling and sinking. The ma chinery had become disarranged and the people on board had begun to despair of getting on dry land again when the disabled boat was sighted by the watch ful eyes on the Elfrida, which had the third division out for practice work in the small boats. f % Lieutenant Commander F. s. Corn- wall was in command, with Lieutenant Frederick Bartlett of the third division second in command. Putting for the small boat, knocking helplessly, the El- frida soon ran up alongside. A line was thrown out and the imperilled party was taken on board. The Elfrida then .owed the launch into New Lon- don harbor. -
 The officers and men of the Elfrida were thanked profusely for their timely assistance. aS
 There was little doing in camp to-day. The wet weather interfered somewhat with the routine work. .7t

FRANCE RELUCTANT.
Does Not Wish 10 Make Promises Now
 Regarding Monetary Exchange.

Regarding Monetary Exchange.
 Paris, Aug. 26.-The report of the French commission appointed to confer with the United States monetary ex- change commissioners has been deliver ed to Ambassador Porter. It contains a note from Foreign Minister Delcasse saying that France is not prepared to express binding conclusions until she has consulted with the other powers.
 The report endorses the principle of gold standard for China and other sil- ver-using countries, but it points out that the plan is possible only with judi cious control of the coinage by the gov ernment and the creation of an ade- quate gold reserve. It favors coinage ratio for the Orient, fixing the face value of silver slightly above it's bullion value, similar to the American system in the Philippines. The French com mission makes reservations upon the proposed regular purchases of silver on the ground that 1t is impossible to fore see the country's needs for subsidiary and colonial coinage.
 Semi-official advices from Russia ir,- dicate that the commission appointed by Finance Minister Witte has made similar conclusions. -.t--. ..-
 The French and Russians considered it preferable to establish a uniform sys- tenn in China by beginning on q silver basis, and afterwards raising it to Q fixed gold value, than to begin on a gold standard immediately.

A NEW MOVE.
Heads in Government Printing Office
 Must Take Oath of Allegiance.

Washington, Aug. 26.-An order from Public Printer Palmer was issued to the heads of divisions in the govern ment printing office just before the hour of closing to-day to appear before a notary public in the office and take the oath of allegiance to the United States as subscribed to by clerks under the civil service law.
 MT. Palmer said tonight that he had issued the order at the suggestion of a government official whose name he de- clined to give. He said that it's object was to place the per diem employees in the same attitude toward the govern ment as that of the clerks on annual salaries, who have subscribed to the order. He said that every employe of the office would be affected by the or der but. to prevent the loss of time and confusion. the chiefs of divisions were asked to take 1t to-day and that gradu- ally the entire force would have the oath administered.
 The issuance of the order created con- siderable surprise among the employees.

Laho superior Reorganization.

New York, Aug. 26.-The finance com rnittee of the Consolidated Lake Super for company, consisting of President Cornelius Shields, F. J. Berwind, Sam uel Rea and Henry K. McHarg, met to- day and will announce a plan of reor- ganiza.ion shortly. There seems to be little doubt but that the stockholders will be. assessed probably as much as $S share. G
 The attempt to raise $12,00O.000 bonds has proven a failure. There seems to be considerable question as to whether holders of stock selling at present fig ures will submit to an assessment larg- CT than the value of their securities.
 The capital stock of the concern is $1Oo, ,0oO,OOO and the market value $2,25o,- OO0 Under the reorganization the cap. ital. it is said, will be reduced to SlO,- 000, ,00O. k

BOY SHANGHAIED.
French saiiing Vessel Held Up by
 Revenue Cutter.


 New York, Aug. 26.-Frank B. Webb and William Murphy. employees of the American Dock Stores at Tompkins- vile, s. II, reported to the police to-day that boy had been shanghied on board a French sailing vessel, supposed to be the Marechal de Gontaut, which is bound for Japan. The authorities were notified and chase for the bark com menced.
 The pilot who took the ship out over the bar, leaving her off the Sandy Hook lightship, said on his return tonight that Captain Lecrox assured him that the boy, said to be Frank Thompson, aged eighteen years, living in New York, had regularly signed the ships articles. The pilot said, however, that when he left the vessel he could hear the boy, who was locked up in the cabin, shouting for help.
 A revenue cutter sent out to investi- gate the case, at 11:30 o'clock tonight, was lying alongside the Marechal de Gontaut, which remains at anchor four miles southeast of Sandy Hook light ship The revenue cutter left the bark an- chored southeast of the Sandy Hook Iightship at 1:10 a. m. and started to- wards the upper bay.

sfa :.
 Columbus, Neb., Aug. 26.--The Ne- braska democratic convention met here last yesterday nominated John J. Sul- iivan for supreme judge and w. Q. Jones and E. o. Weber for regents of the State university. These candidates are the same as those named by the populist convention at Grand Island. The platform declared:

LIpToN WILL DIE HARD.
wiII Take Defeat in the Proper s@ Spirit.


 New York, Aug. 26.-sir Thomas Lip- ton said this afternoon in response to telegram hoping that he would win tomorrow:
 q have not lost hope and shall fight and die hard. If cannot win. will take defeat in the proper spirit. " Sir Thomas said in response to query as to whether he had asked to have four cornered race between Shamrock IT., Reliance, Columbia and Constitution, that he had not made any such suggestion, but if such a propo- sition was made he would undoubtedly consider it. He did not care to have it understood that he was taking the initi- ative.
 Shamrock III. put up her mainsail and club topsail this afternoon but did not leave her anchorage to go out. She stretched and dried them. On Reliance there was not move and MT. Mower, the club measurer, simply put the tape to the new gaff and declared it the same length as the old. so that her measurement was the same as before. The third race will take place to-day.

PROGRESS OF MIMIC WAR

Success Of the Attacks of the Vessels on the City of PortIand-,ImpOrtant Question as to whether It Was Made After sridnisht-yyhat ohcsrs Say.


 Question as to whether It Was Made
 After sIidnight-yhat Officers Say.
 Portland. Me. Aug. 26-At 10 o'clock tonight the war manoeuvres had again developed into watching and waiting game for the defending forces just as before the mimic war was declared. At |7 o'clock tonight the greater part of Admiral Barker's fleet was anchored off Goose island. about ten miles from Fort Mckinley, the sternmost of the protecting Notifications.
 There has arisen tonight difference of opinion and claims between the army and navy officials as to the attack made by Admiral Barker's fleet this morning on the forts commanding the entrance to Portland harbor and in view of this there has been vague uncertainty as
 to whether another attack would be made tonight or not. According to the rules laid out for the conduct of the war games, the fleet is allowed to make one day and one night attack. The question is was the attack made after or before daybreak. l.glgG The army officers say that although the vessels directly after midnight att tempted to land men. vet they did no firing from the ships and after the land- ing parties were repulsed no regular at fcn xr-ncs Ia ky
 until after daybreak. It was understood tonight the navy officials claimed they
 made-a night attack in addition to the landing parties and that there was no response to their attack. With the diff ference os opinion between the two
 branches the time of the next attack is uncertain. ...EEs However. the army officials relying on their belief that a day attack had been made after daybreak are in readiness
 for night attack at any moment. Or
 ders were issued for the men to turn out 11:30 in anticipation of such an attack.
 Two gunboats off Town Landing at
 Falmouth Foreside. three miles from the harbor. were fired upon from Fort Mckinley while sending ashore landing
 parties.
 Three torpedo boat destroyers are re ported to have passed Forts Williams
 land Leavitt. shortly after 10:15 and at tepted to counterrnine the harbor. They were fired upon by Fort Preble.
 Portland, Me, Aug. 27.-The enemys | fleet made the second demonstration against the harbor two hours before | midnight, the evident purpose of which
 was to counter-mine the harbor. Two vessels, one of which was a torpedo
 boat destroyer, surrendered during the
 engagement. An attempt at landing
 Twas defeated. The attack concluded at
 Hills, the vessels withdrawing to Half
 Way Rock, where at o'clock eight had gathered. All lights were shown on the ships after the demonstration. $s

ENGLISHGOLfERS YIN AGAIN
UNINTERRUPTED SUCCESS OF
 OXFORD-CAMBRIDGE MEN.
capture International Team Match at Southampton, N. Y., by Score Of Eight
 to Three-New Amateur Record for the Course Made by One of the Visiting

Southampton. N. r., Aug. 26.-The Oxford and Cambridge golfers played grand golf over the Shinnecock links this afternoon and won the interna- tional team match in a flashing manner by eight points to three, winning five of the individual matches and losing but three. The team match was preceded in the morning by an eighteen-hole medal play scratch competition for a cup presented by R. H. Williams, on which depended the selection of mem bers of the team in the match with the English players. In this competition Walter J. Travis and F. J. o. Alsop tied at "A, Ellis leading the Englishmen with 76.
 A new amateur record for the course of T was made by H. W. Beveridge and equalled by Walter J. Travis. This is the greatest golf that has ever been seen upon the course. A very large gal 5lery of society people followed the Ira wis match over the course. Travis had Norman F. Hunter as an opponent and they both played good golf, Hunter do- ing the course in 76. The tie of the morning for the Williams cup at 74 be- tween Travis and Alsop was decided by their scores of the afternoon. Alsop did Y and Travis a T, thereby cap turing the handsomest trophy of the tournament.
 The Shinnecock Hills Golf club gave dinner to the two teams and a few irl- vited guests in tPe club house in the evening. The Enslisn team will go to New York tomorrow.
 The result of the team match is as fellows. #&4# ftl 6at
