A PUBLIC EFFORT

Unless all signs fail Sir Thomas
Upton is destined to return empty
handed from his third effort to lift
the Americas cup. In the untinlsh-
ed race of the first day his boat was
left far in the rear and Sir Thomas
then remarked Just wait until we
get a good breeze" On Saturday a
good wind was blowing but the Eng
lish boat made a showing but little
better than the first attempt and was
beaten handily by the American
yacht Curiously enough the race
on Saturday fell on the fifty-second
anniversary of the winning of the
cup from the English fleet by the
America. and although the Britons
with characteristic tenacity have
been trying to retake the cup ever
since. they have never succeeded in
taking so much as a single heat in
any of the dozen contests. and the
lifting of the cup seems as far off as
ever.
The reason for so many signal
failures is not easy to find for the
British are a sea-going people and
It has been the boast of Englishmen
that Brittania rules the wave. But
when it comes to marine contest OF
any sort with his American cousin,
john Bull must take second place.
British pride and self esteem have
hardly yet recovered from the shock
occasioned by the victories of Perry
and Paul Jones, while their failure
to even get within sight of the Amer
ica's cup during a half century of eff
fort is as much a mystery to them as
it is to us.
Their failure can not be attributed
to lack Of intelligent effort. for Sir
Thomas is a man Of brains and re-
as also were his predecess-
ors in the contest. Nor can it be as
cribed to a difference in seamanship,
for English sailors are counted the
best in the world. Perhaps the real
cause is to be found in the fact that
American builders are Cnhampered
by tradition or custom. They are
free to build and sail their boats as
fancy or genius may dictate, and in
an effort backed by patriotism and
unlimited means it is not strange
that the very best results should be
With the Englishmen, however, it
is different. for while they have I'M
limited means they are handicapped
by too much experience in boat build
ing. This seems to be an anomaly
but it is true that tradition and Gus
tom has it's influence in the design
ing and construction of an English
yacht from the lines in the hull to
he stitches in the sails. and this in
huence is much greater than they
themselves are conscious of. 1t is
further accentuated by the English
mans belief in the superiority of
everything that is English, and as
national characteristics are not
in day or a century, Eng
and is not likely to soon lift the cup.
Sir Thomas is a game loser and
mas endeared himself to the Ameri
IAN public. and if he should lift the
rup there will be none to begrudge
lim the well earned victory

PETTY BUSINESS

considerable comment has been
aroused in the press of the country
by the manner in which General
Miles was retired from the army
After having given distinguished ser
vice to his country for forty years
and having climbed from the lowest
to the highest rung of the military
ladder this veteran of a score of
hard fought battles is retired from
the service in the following curt Ian
guage:
The retirement from active service
by the president, August 8. 1903. of
Lieut.-Gen. Nelson A. Miles, United
States army. by operation of law, I'M
der the provisions of the Act of Con-
gress approved June 80, 1882. is an
nounced. Northumberland Miles
will proceed to his home. The ira
vel enjoined is necessary for the pub
lie service.
BY order of SECRETARY of war.
It is claimed by defenders of the
administration that it is not custom
airy to go beyond the formal order
Ill SuCu cases dllu lUilutTUlOTe lUdI
an order was issued in 1895 by Presi-
dent Cleveland forbiddng the use of
anything Beyond the formal order
in such cases. But the order of Pres
ident Cleveland has been a dead let
ter for some time and extended com
plments We're paid to Generals Mer-
rift, Brooks. Otis and others in the
orders retiring them.
A good deal of friction has been in
evidence between the president and
the war department on one side and
General Miles on the other.
The first serious break occurred
during the investigation into the
'emba lined beef scandal when Gen
eral Miles took occasion to criticise
the SECRETARY OF war and other Off
cials severely for the very lax meth
cd of furnishing supplies to the
army, and the term "embalmed beef"
was coined by General Miles at that
time.
For his stand in that investigation
he was never forgiven by the red
tape officials of the war department.
but it would seem that President
Roosevelt and Secretary of War Root
should be too broad to allow such
petty reasons to prevent the deserv-
ed recognition of gallant and able
officer
The fact that the personal rela-
tons existing between General Miles
and Mr.. Roosevelt were not of the
most pleasant character should have
been an additional reason why the
president should have given some
recognition to his long and distin-
guished service.
Through brave and gallant service
General Miles had attained the rank
of brigadier general before Mr.. Roose-
welt had learned the letters of the
alphabet, and before Secretary of
War Root as boy. had finished
his first course in arithmetic, and it
seems strange that this grizzled vet
eran should be CURLY dismissed in an
order. the form of which was pub
lie insult.
Either President Roosevelt is guilty
of extreme pettiness or by an over
sight he has allowed himself to be
placed in that light before the coun-
try.

practised at former Conclaves is completely

duties of Sovereign Pontiff, and the differ
ences on which we ground our preferences
are Of secondary Importance. Our princi-
pal aim is not so much to elect this man
or that as to execute the will OF God and
the welfare Of the Church
Among the numerous names suggested
for the Papacy by English correspondents at
Rome is that Of Cardinal Angelo di Pietro,
who is noted for his piety and averseness
to politics.
He is said to be the only Cardinal not
sharing in the present activity of his col
leagues and he is reputedly favored by
many Cardinals who disapprove Of Pope
Leo's attitude toward France, it being re-
garded as practically certain that he will
not initiate the late Pontiff in this matter.

WOMAN DRIFTS OUT TO SEA.
Drank Salt water and Became DelIriOus
Picked Up After Two Days.

RocKLAND, Me. July 9O--Mrs. Clara
Carter Of Munroe's Island was carried out
to sea in a dory in gale on Sunday evening
and was picked up thirty miles east of Mount
Desert rock on Tuesday afternoon by the
fishing schooner Hazel Oneta OF Gloucester
The woman was nearly dead from exposure
and from the effects Of the salt water she
drank to quenoh her thirst, but will probably
recover. Mrs. Carter is now at Swans Island
Early on Sunday evening she started
from Owls Head for Munroe's Island in
light dory. Under ordinary conditions the
passage of three-fourths Of mile would
have been made in a few minutes, but the
breeze stiffened into gale and Mrs. Carter
found it very difficult to manage her craft.
Then one of the oars snapped, leaving her
helpless.
1t was 80 dark that nobody on shore OBJ
served her predicament and the gale
drowned her cries for help. The dory drifted
out to sea, and the gale continued all day
Monday.
On Tuesday, more than forty hours after
Mrs. Carter had left the mainland, the
schooner came up with the dory. 1t had
drifted about seventy-fve miles and was
half full OF water when picked up.

ROCKER T.. WASHINGTON KISSED.
Several Boston COlOred Men Interrupt His
Lecture-POlfce Called In.

Boston, Mass, July 30-Booker T.
Washington came into town tonight from
his summer home to give a lecture. There
was some disturbance but squad Of police
had cleared the church OF several colored
persons and then the lecture was delivered.
Four arrests were made, one OF the prisoners
being a colored woman She was released
later.
When William II. Lewis introduced Mr..
Washington there were some Kisses in
one corner Of the church 1t is charged
that there was a plan, arranged by some
colored men who favor liberal education
of the black race as opposed to the indus
trial educational plan fathered by Mr.. Wash
ington, to break up the meeting. One
man shouted:
SIS the rope and the torch all the race is
to get from your leadership
Subsequently Mr. Washington issued the
following statement:
Just as a few flies are able to spoil the
purity of large jar OF cream. so three
ill-mannered young men were able to dis
turb the good order Of large and other
wise successful meeting OF our people
in the city of Boston. have rarely seen
greater triumph on the part of the masses
OF our people in crushing out III manners
and disturbance.
Il have no warmer friends anywhere in
the country than Ihave among nine-tenths
of the colored people of the city Of Boston.
This was made manifest by the overwhelm-
ing applause with which my remarksiwer re-
oeived after the police had removed the three
or four disturbers. The colored people
Of Boston should not be held responsible
for q few riotons individuals"

Discrepancy Found In Books OF +. j. Smith

the discount clerk at that institution. A
discrepancy amounting to $4,000, possibly
more, Ii said to have been found In his ac-

sidered by the officers one OF their most
efficient and trustworthy clerks. In March,
1902, he was sued by William Colley for
$40, 900 damages for the alienation of Mrs.
Colley's affections. Colley at the same time
brought suit for divorce, naming Smith
as correspondent. The damage suit was
settled out OF court, and Colley got a
divorce.
