THE YAcHTs.-If the Constitution
did not defeat the Reliance on time al
lowance in 25-mile race over the course
of the Indian Harbor Yacht Club, in
Long Island Sound, yesterday. she gave
the admirers of the new boat bad scare.
In more than four hours of sailing the
Reliance outsailed Constitution by only
/ minute and 80 seconds, elapsed time.
1t is estimated that the new boat will
have to allow the Constitution two to
three minutes in a 30-mile race, which,
if true, would give yesterdays race to
the older boat, and might give her one
of the earlier races as well, when Reii-
ance beat her by two minutes and a
fraction. Columbia was again outclassed
from the start.

As STATED yesterday Attorney Gene
raj Knox has rendered an opinion on the
matter of the unfinished U. ). cruiser
Galveston recently attachedin the Trlgg 5
sbipvard in Richmond, holding that the
State court exceeded its authority III
granting the injunction, but refrains
from passing on the question OF the gov
eminent employing force, because 1t Is
not regarded as necessary to bring up
that issue. The President and the other
members of the Cabinet share Mr.
Knox's opinion that a display OF force
would be inexpedient and inadvisabie'
and the legal department of the govern
ment will take the question up and ell
deayor TO find a solution. The opinion
is expressed that Judge Grinnan, OF
Richmond, who granted the injunction
will recede from the position taken
Only those of a sensational turn OF NINA
entertained the idea that force would be
used either by the government OF the
State in a settlement of the matter.

LIGHTNING STRIKES BAR Rooms
a fierce electrical storm, which lasted
about an hour Wednesday afternoon,
did considerable damage at Colonial
Beach. A bolt of lightning struck the
building occupied by james ;. Graham,
saloonkeeper, and tore up his bar
Electricians had just finished wiring the
place, and the storm tore these wires all
out, making it necessary to do the work
over. In a drawer under the counter
were a key and package of tacks. The
heat melted them into one lump.
Fortunately Mr.. Graham had just been
called out and so escaped injury. On a
corner on the other side of the street
lightning struck the bar of Lou Pierson.
1t hit a bottle of whisky, stripped it
clean of its wrapper, and shattered the
bottle. Mr.. Pierson was overcome for
few minutes by the shock, but was not
seriously injured.

WILD MAN AT LARGE. special
from Tazewell last night conveys the
information that a wild man is at large
in that county and is terrorizing the
whole section. He has been operating
in the vicinity of Falls Mills for three
weeks, terrifying the women and child
rem, and in many instances the men.
He remains in the woods mostly through
the day and energies about nightiall and
again early in the morning. His only
demands so far have been for food The
inhabitants are afraid to refuse him any
request, as he carries a Winchester rifle,
a belt full of pistols and ammunition,
an axe, and several big knives. He
has visited more than twenty houses in
the past two weeks, and his demands
have all been complied with. No one
is able to identify him, and he is describ-
ed as being a monstrously large man,
with light hair, very fair, and with most
penetrating wild-glaring blue eyes.
About forty men banded together Thurs
day and are securing the mountains in
search of him. If he is cought des-
perate struggle is likely to take place.

WAS TEMPORARY INSANITY
Theory Advanced I'm Connection with
Suicide at Iowa City.

| y dispatch from Iowa City throws
| the following additional light upon
the life of the young woman who sui
cided at that place Friday morning:
mabel Ives is now identified posi-
lively as Florence Jack, of Traer,
Iowa. The name was first erroneous
| ly announced as jackson, and it is
said that she went by that name at
home. preferring it to her own. Her
brother. Charles, of Traer, knew her
Immediately. Her father, w. J.. Jack,
an almost sightless veteran of the
civil war, is an inmate of the hospital
here Miss Jack was Is. 1t is believed
that brooding over unrequited love
weakened her mind. She had made a
suicidal suggestion to her brother
Tuesday at Traer. \ post norton
proves that the girl was absolutely
virtuous.
The temporary insanity that UNI
doubtedIy led the girl to the awful
act has doubtless been preying upon
her for some time. She recently re-
turned to Traer from st. Paul, Mimi,
where she had been visiting her sis
ter, Mrs |. S. Bean, an instructor Gas
the girl had truly stated in dra-
| matte school.
THE girl. herself had never been
on the stage, but she was much in
clined To become an actress, and had
talked of that life as Il possibility of
the future. She was formerly an in
mate of the Soldiers Orphans Home
at Davenport, for several years of her
childhood, and therein attended school
for long time.
"The young man, whois believed to
be the one whom she loved so deeply
that life without him was to her frail
mind valued as naught, is o. l.. Hull,
of Gleps Falls, n. Y. He says firmly
and positively that he never made a
declaration of love to the young wo-
man. He is a nonresident of Cedar
Rapids, where he met her, but has
been spending several winters there,
the Saratoga billiard halls being his
frequent headquarters. He says that
he is a follower of fairs and other
summer exhibitions. and conducts
games of skill, etc, during these fes-
tivities. In the winter he travels
around, enjoying himself until his
working seasons reopen. He affirms
that he never won her love, even if he
is attributed with seeking it, and that
he never made a statement to her that
was prompted by other than friendly
interest and desire to help her earn
her living.
"She was first met by Mr. Hull in
Cedar Rapids, where he paid her what
he describes as friendly attentions.
chatting with her, calling on her and
rarely taking her to the theatre.
so far as he knew, to the very last,
she had no idea of committing SUI
eide, and she had not acted like one
about to become insane. He was about
to get her position as saleswoman,
he said, when the tragedy occurred"

day by vote of 176 to 155 adopted n
resolution providing that the Cuban
reciprocity bill should be considered

The minority voted solidly against

and urging the passage of the bill.
Washington, Nov.~16.-ft is tire in
tention of the senate leaders to contine
the present extra session to the bill
to carry into effect the Cuban treaty,
the bill will probably be sent to the
senate next Friday. 1t is quite well
understood that Morgan is prepared for

ton on the isthmuS of Panama.
But while he seems not to have
taken any one into his confidence the
general suppOsitiOn is that he will
defer his speeches until the new canal
treaty shall be sent to the senate. There
is an understanding on the part of
senators that even though the negotia-
lions of the new convention be forth
with completed it will not be trans
