STATEMENT OF SIR THOMAS
Challenger for Americas Cup Dis
cusses His Defeat.
Generous victor-Cheers for
the Reliance.

Highlands of Navesink, N. j., Sept.
b.-When the Erin had discharged her
passengers Thursday night and the re-
echo of their cheers had died away Sir
Thomas Upton said: 1.-TWO weeks ago
I was hopeful; last week knew was
doomed to defeat, and was disappoint-
ed, but to-day am almost glad In my
own defeat, this America has been such
a thoroughly generous victor. / want
again to thank the American people
for their generosity to me in my de-
feat"
Regarding the defeat Of Shamrock
III. he simply said: II don't care to
discuss it any more. The American
boat was the better, that is all"
London, Sept. 5.-The final deafeat of
Sir Thomas Lipton's cup challenger,
Shamrock ILL.,, was received in London,
with absolute listlessness. Most of the
afternoon papers published special edi-
ton announcing the result of the cup
races, but the announcement had al
ready been discounted by the dispatches
giving the progress of the race. The con-
sensus Of opinion is that Sir Thomas Lip
ton has done everything that time and
money could accomplish, and widespread
sympathy for him is shown. The chief
hope expressed in the streets is that
Canada will enter the lists next year,
and possibly succeed where the mother
country has faileda 1t seems improb-
able that, in view Of the failure of Sham
rock III, another challenger will soon
be dispatched from England.
New York, Sept. Sin spectacular
finish Reliance won the third and de-
cisive race in the series for the Amer
ica's cup. Shamrock Ill, after CROP
ing around in the fog for more than an
hour, missed the finish line, passed it by,
and finally returned to it from the OPP
posite direction, just in time to see her
feet rival being towed through the as
sembled boats Yhere was no second in
the final race as Shamrock did not cross
the finish line, and her time was not
taken.
New York, Sept 5-The Reliance.
in tow of the tug Guiding Star. left
the Horseshoe early Friday on her
way up the bay. Both yacht and tug
were covered with flags. Passing craft
and those at anchor gave the victo-
rious cup defender a cordial greeting
as she passed up the harbor.
The Reliance was taken to her former
anchorage off New Rochelle. Later 1t is
expected she will be taken to City Island
to be laid up for the winter.
The Shamrock III. lays inside OF

Insurance Company PoIlcyholders De.
mand an ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
Estate Decision at Des Moines.
Republican Campaign.

Sixteen poicy-holders in the late
Northwestern Life and Savings In
surance company OF Des Moines have
asked the district court for manda-
tory injunction requiring the North
western National Life Insurance of
Minneapolis to return to Iowa all the
assets, books and accounts Of the for
mer company which 1t acquired by the
recent merger, in order that an &C.
counting may be made. The plaintiffs,
all of whom live in Dallas county,
maintain that their ten-year policies
were terminated and the contract be-
tween them and the Northwestern
National Life ended when the latter
sold its business and refused further
to accept payments. Accordingly they
petitioned for an equitable settlement.
As their funds were to be used as in
vestments, they demanded a showing
appoint receiver. These plaintiffs
represent about $4,000 paid into the
company before 1t was sold to the
Minneapolis concern. Auditor of State
Carroll Is made party defendant be-
cause he holds about $1.500,000 of the
company securities. The plaintiffs
state they believe the, total assets of
the company amount to $3.000,O0O. 1t
Is understood that in an amended pc
tition nearly again as many plaintiffs
will be added The sale of the North
western Life and Savings has caused
great deal of anxiety among the pol
Iicy-holders. and many object to going
into a mutual concern. The Des
Moines company was operated on the
old line plan. while the Minneapolis
concern is on the mutual basis. Pol
licy-holders in the old company cannot
see how their policies can be adjusted
to their satisfaction. They contend
that the action of the local company
was in fact termination OF their con-
tract and they want settlement. D.
F. Witter was president of the Des
Moines company.

fought the cavalry battle under Sheri-
dan at Bonneville, which was a thun-
derbolt at Corinth, and was with Grant
at Vicksburg. 1t was mustered out in
October, 1865, and stood next to the

sNuBB1NG OF GEN. MILES.
ident In Retiring the vet-
eran Soldier.

No administration has ever perpe-
txsted % shabby trick as the present
enc in refusing to say word OF praise
Tor Lieut.. Gen. Nelson A. Miles on his
retirement for age by operation Of the
law of 1882. After AZ years faithfully
serving the United States, and by vir-
tue OF his distinguished services from
private to the highest command, he is
allowed to retire without the usual COM
pliments. When Gen. schofisld was re-
tired, President Cleveland paid q warm
tribtus to his gallantry and faithful
services President Roosevelt, at the
instance Of the ruling cabal. headed by
Root and Corbin. who are not worthy to
wipe the dust from the boots of Gen.
Miles. Joins them in trying to humiliate
the man who fought upon hundred
dslds without fear and without reproach.
TAs persistent efforts to exasperate and
beNttle Gen. Miles during the war with
Spain. and since, were due to jealousy
and fear Of his becoming too powerful.
He WAS refused the active command Of
the army in Cuba, and Tor his exposure
At the rotten beef scandal-the whole
truth Of which has not yet been told. he
Wss considered politically dangerous to
khe republican olisarchy that has been
u ccmmsnd. That he has always been
Q consistent though Independent re-
publican and % thoroughly honest and
capable that the powers that be could
not buy or cajole him were the reasons
Tor his mistreatment.
That the omcial slight to Gen. Miles
Was concoctsd by his enemies was not
% much to be wondered at, but that
President Roosevelt should aid and
oouutenAnce their meanness and hold
back what was Justly due from the COM
mander In chief to the brave general,
shows the vast difference between the
greatness and littleness of soul that
should bs expected OF . president Of the
Uuitsd States. It was officially an
nouneed IN the Washington Post that:
The determination to condne the an
neu1esment Of the retirement Of the
Mutenant general to the usual form was
ssaehsd after dellberatton and with 4
tuu knowledge Of the precedents. II
was made . matter Of conference dur
Ing the last visit Of Secretary Root to
Oyster Bay. although 1t is known the de-
cAon promulgated was arrived at some
time ago."
80 It WAS not an oversight. but de-
liberats slight The American people
will remember this when the accounts
are cast up for the hnal reckoning.

In Central Presbyterian Church yes
terday morning the pastor, the Rev. DR.
McCurdy, preached on THE Ideal Gill
zen," basing his text on Luke vii. s:
Fer l also am man under authority,
having under me soldiers, and / say
unto one, go. and he goeth: and TO
another, come, and he cometh and to
my servant. do this, and he doeth it
Among other things he said:
Respect for law is conditioned on
whims, and is not rooted in intelligent
conviction. In times past it required
the prod Of the bayonet and the COM
pulsion of the bullet to awaken respect
for law and authority. Obedience is our
law Of life, and we should stand by it;
it is our service, and we should render
it; it is our privilege, and we should en-
10y it. Obedience to the authority Of
the Lord Jesus by members of the
Church, and By honest-hearted citizens
would rescue our state from its cor
ruption. and our nation from its an
archy and heathenism. Obedience to the
same authority and fidelity to our re-
ligious vows in the church would make
it famous in successful upbuilding OF
Gods kingdom everywhere.
