THAT CUP WITHDRAWAL.
1t is Laid to New York but the Latter
Diseiaims the Blame.

Berlin, Dec. although Emperor VIII
liam's reasons (based on his illness) for
Withdrawing his offer of d cup for a
transatlantic yacht race are regarded by
his yachting advisers as sufficient, other
considerations made a withdrawal Of the
trophy for next season the easiest way
out of the tangle caused by the inability
of the New York Yacht club and the
Atlantic Yacht club to agree
The Emperors original purpose was to
have the race managed Jointly by those
clubs. being a member of both. and the
Royal Yacht squadron, of Cowes. and
the Imperial Yacht club. of Kiel.
Sir Thomas Upton had offered a cup
to the Atlantic Yacht club for an ocean
race in 1904. but learning that Emperor
William desired to give a trophy Com
modore Todd. of the Atlantic Yacht club.
sent a cablegram to Sir Thomas asking
if he would withdraw and permit the
Emperor to offer cup. Commodore Tod 8
cablegram was marked private.
Sir Thomas telegraphed to Emperor
William October q of his withdrawal. and
the Emperor, supposing that everything
had been arranged in the United States
l.
ing him for his magnanimity and saying
that he would have his Ambassador Of
fer cup.
The inability of the New York and the
Atlantic Yacht clubs to agree with re-
gard to the matter was met by the
Emporers. offer last week to give n cup
in 1904 to the Atlantic Yacht Club if the
New York Yacht club would enter its
yachts in the race. and one to the New
York Yacht club in 1906 for a race in
which the Atlantic Yacht .tClub would
enter, thus avoiding joint mana gement
Of the cups.
This was not satisfactory to the New
York Yacht club. and the Emperor with
drew his offer, as the time is too short
to get new boats ready for race next
year. eecc ssr ~
Captain lNeils Olsen, who IS prominent
in the New York Yacht clubs racing at
fairs. said to . World reporter last night
that there has been no controversy with
the Atlantic Yacht club concerning the
kaisers cup for a transatlantic race
II know there has never been anything
but the best feeling between the two
clubs, said Captain Olsen. 'The fact
is the matter of the cup to have been
offered by Emperor William has never
come UP for official discussion in the
New York Yacht club. The question has
been discussed here in an informal way
by members from time to time, but the
racing committee has never taken the
matter into consideration.
1T is absurd to say that there has been
any ENHANCEMENT on this side about the
cup or the race. / am quite sure there
has not yet been any communication
whatever between this and the Atlantic
Yacht club on the question

of police learned OF his arrival from a

thought this q satisfactory result. and
the imperial pair ventured 10 60 TO Paris
and drive down the Champs Elysees
without cavalry around their carriage. y

GERMAN MILITARY SYSTEM.
Socialists Attack II and Cite Instance:
of Abuses

Berlin. Dec. "a recent debate on army
estimates in the Bavarian Chamber fur
/ nished the Social Democrats with the OPP
portuhity for a vigorous assault upon
the whole German military system. The
Socialist Herr keidel and the Clerical
leader. Herr Schadler. delivered the most
notable speeches. Herr keidel declared
that parad drill was abusd and that one
officer in Munich had for weeks been
drilling his men to march ia PAGES TO the
minute. The men, moreover. were loaded
with sandbags until they carried eighty
pounds He also asked why il was that
men drawing the state pension Of invalids
had been enlisted for military servece?
He moved that the war Office be urged
TO dismiss from the service, irrespective
of every other consideration. all commits
stoned and on-commissioned officers con-
victed of responsibility for the syste
matte ill-treatment CT their subordinates
either by active ill-usage or through hay
ing neglected TO exercise the requisite
supervision Herr Schadler demanded
that the statistics of all cases of ill
treatment in the army since 1898 be sub
mitted to the house. Patriotic men, he
said. were much concerned at the grow
ing love OF outward show in the army,
the continual changes in uniforms. and
the increase in military hnery. These
things inspired apprehensions lest the
service was no longer regarded with the
proper seriousness. He then referred TO
Herr Byerlin's recent book, Jean oder
Sedan and expressed the hope that an
other Sedan might be possible aud a
Jena impossible in the event Of war.
Several Liberal and Socialist members
expressed the fear that the abuses of the
Prussian army were being initiated In
Bavaria The war minister. Baron Won
Aech. admitted that the complaints Of
ill-treatment of soldiers were not dimin
ishing but promised that strong measures
should be taken TO check the evil. lie
then proceeded TO reprove the Socialists
for intriguing in ;heb arracks

acre tract of land belonging to a. Hardman,

got possession cf il at big price, and the
land was sold from them by a sheriff for
something less thrn $4,000. We are
