COLUMBIA DECLINES RAGE
FUTILE ATTEMPT OF RELIANCE
 TO DRAW HER OUT.
constftution on Way to New London to Have Her Bottom CIeaned-Columbia Drills Her Crew tm Handling saiis- Reliance Travels Like a Witch in a Fresh Wind.

Glen Cove, L. l., May 6.-This was a disappointing day for the cup defense sIoop. Notwithstanding c. Oliver Ise- iin's best efforts to bring the Reliance into company with the Columbia for another brush the lack of wind prevent ed him. Until late in the day only the faintest air was moving.
 The Constitution was taken in tow by the tender. the Satellite. at, S:S0. and lowed to New London, where her bot tom will be cleaned. She may be absent for three days. Both the Columbia and Reliance were out for a drift in the afternoon.
 The Columbia sailed out of Glen Cove at 10:30 and crossed over under the New York shore, north of Mamaroneck, seven miles east of where the Reliance was anchored. Then she jogged about for hours drilling her crew in handling the sails. Just before o'clock the Re- 1iance came running down from New Rochelle, bringing smart little breeze and clearly spelling for another brush, which might do her better credit than the defeat administered by. the Column bia yesterday.
 The Columbia. which had been head ing toward the Reliance. soon came about and worked up into the mouth of the cove keeping close to the Long Isl- and shore. The Reliance was never less than three-quarters of mile from the Columbia. so that there was no chance to compare them.
 In almost fiat calm Columbia came into Glen Cove in towfat 1 N m. The Reliance turned about and headed across the sound a, few minutes later. A brisk breeze sprang up and the Re- Iiance laid over to it, and went rushing off uo the sound eight miles or so to- ward New York and going: like witch. A mile west of Execution light she came about and ran back to New Ro- chelle to her moorings.

WATER CURE IN ASYLUM,
Administered to Refractory Patients nt
 Topeka Instttute.


 Topeka, Kas., May 6.-It has been customary to administer the water cure" to refractory patients at the To- peka asylum for the insane, according to the testimony of Miss Knox of To- peka, given before the legislative in- vestigation committee to-day. Miss Knox said that the water cure" fre- quently was administered while she was an attendant at the asylum. She was employed there during Governor Stanley's first administration and the head attendant of the ward in which she worked was Miss Houston. It was by the orders of Miss Houston, according to Miss Knox, that the water cure" was administered.
 ''When patient refused to obey the orders given by Miss Houston" said Miss Knox. 'the attendants were or dered by Miss Houston to throw a sheet over the patients head and draw her to the floor. While the attend ants held the patient, Miss Houston poured water out of a pan into the pa tient's face. The water was poured fast and the pouring continued until the patient agreed to obey orders"

DEPENDS NATIONAL GUARDsMEN
BiII5to Prevent Discrimination on Part lsG Labor Unions.


 Albany, May Ex-Governor Odell to- day signed the bill designed to prevent discrimination on the part of labor unions against members of the National Guard. The bill is very drastic and re- fers equally to labor unions and em- ployers, making it a misdemeanor to in- terfere in any way with the employ the National Guard on account of such membership, or to dissuade a person from enlisting by threat of injury with reference to his employment, trade or business. It especially forbids any trade organization from passing any resolu- tion or by law discriminating in the matter of membership against any member of the National Guard, it being declared the purpose of the new nav ''to protect member of the said Ma tional Guard from disadvantage in his means of livelihood and liberty therein, but not to give him any preference or advantage on account of his member ship of said National Guard. A person who aids in enforcing any such provis- ions against a member of the said Ma tionaI Guard, with the intent to dis criminate against him because of such membership, is guilty of a misde- meanor."
 The act is to take effect September 1, 1908.

WRECK OF AGNES E. MANSON
GOES DOWN IN MARINE CRAVE
 YARD OFF NANTUCKET.
New Haven Schooner Strikes on Rose and Grown Shoal-Csptain Babbitt,
 Ills Wife and the Crew Abandon Ves- sell and Reach Land in the Long Boat An Effort to be Made to Raise the Ship.

An Effort to be Made to Raise the Ship.
 Nantucket, Mass, May 6.-The three masted schooner Agnes E. Manson of New Haven struck on the shoals east of Nantucket to-day and was aban- doned in a sinking condition. Captain H. W. Rabbit and his wife, and crew of nine landed at Siasconset. The ves- sel went down in six fathons shortly after those on board had departed. The Manson was bound from Hillsboro, N. B., for Norfolk, Va, with a cargo of plaster rock.
 The locality of the wreck was on Rose and Crown shoal. the farthest east Of the score or more of shoals which surround the island. This long ago attained an unenviable reputation as a graveyard for good ships. Only three months ago it gathered in a Bos ton fisherman, the crew, like that of the Manson, pulling through ten miles of rips to the island.
 The Manson for several years had been engaged in carrying soft coal be- tween Norfolk and Boston. She made her last trip up the coast as far as Hillsboro, N. B., and sailed from that port on April 29 for Norfolk. Yester- day when abreast of Highland light a gale was encountered and the night closed in thick and dark. Under these conditions Captain Babbitt decided not to risk the narrow confines of Pollock Rip slue, so he held off to clear the shoals and go round Nantucket by the south channel. But he failed to keep off far enough and before daylight the schooner struck heavily on the Rose and Crown. The vesesl finally lurched and pounded over the shoal into smoother water. Captain Babbitt kept the vessel going until he discovered that she was making water rapidly Then he anchored in seven fathoms of water. The long boat was launched and Mrs. Rabbit first placed in it. The schooner settled so fast that no one was able to save any effects. The crew started for the island and al- though the sea was fearfulIy rough, good seanlanship kept the little craft afloat and the beach at Siasconsett was reached this afternoon. Captain Babbitt and his wife and crew came across the island later in the day and all will leave for the mainland in the morning.
 The Agnes B. Manson was owned in New Haven and was one of the Bene- dict fleet. She was built in Bath in 1889 and had 8 gross tonnage of S42. It is expected that wrecking tug will go out to the scene of the wreck from Vineyard Haven tomorrow. The ves- sel may be raised.

OPPOSES CHANCE OF NAME
HISTORIC DIOCESE IN
 PENNSYLVANIA. TIFF

to Alter tho Name of the Protosfaat
 gates from same Churches in some ln-
 stances Divided Againsc Each Other,
 Philadelphia, May 6.--The historic di- ocese of the Protestant Episcopal church in Pennsylvania, the diocese which originally adopted the present name of the denomination, placed itself on record by an overwhelming vote in convention to-day as opposed to the proposition to change the name of the church. The vote was: Clerical 112 to S4, laity 72 to 21, and was taken on a resolution presented by a special com mittee appointed by Bishop Ozi w. Whitaker at yesterdays session. The resolution was as follows:
 That in the opinion of the diocese of Pennsylvania any change ill the name of the Protestant Episcopal church in the United States of America at this time would be inexpeient.'' ,,. % 4 There was full and free discussion of the resolution and the report of the special commission which accompanied the resolution. When the vote was talk en it was found that in some instances delegates from the same church were divided on the question &ss>s.. .,.. }. . Bishop Whitaker and Co-Adjutor Bishop Mackay- Smith voted for the resolution. 4.a+.. s..-5 a.
 The special committee was, in part, as Follows: I1= ,.# 4G
 If tine original Catholic significance of the word Protestant had been more clearly borne in mind. and if it had not fallen in popular usage into the | pruely negative sense of opposition to Rome, it is probable that the present agitation for a change of She name of the church would not have occurred. .' The committee then suggests that it is the duty of the Protestant Episcopal church "to maintain and express. an earnest protest against the un-Gatholie usurpations and pretentions of the Roman see in doctrine not less than in discipline" which within the last fifty years have been exalted beyond all former example" .5... < j. Continuing the report says:
 With the world to evangelize and tas home to protect it would be tht height Of folly to waste our time and energies in sowing seeds of ciseord ant division over the mere question of no. u1enclature." TX.

ENGLAND AND PERSIAN GULF
Lord Lassdownessives -sparning to she
 ! N t Powers.

s=S@f{ {& 5t65ae.3e 5s Powers.
 London, May G.. Foreign Secretary Lansdowne has practically notified the competing powers that any attempt on their part to establish 8 naval base or fortified post in the Persian Gulf means war with Great Britain
 1T say without hesitatton,'' said the foreign secretary, dealing with the subject in the House of Lords yester- day evening, ''that we should regard the establishment of a naval base or a fortified port in the Persian Gulf by any other power as a very grave men ace to British interests. and we should certainly resist it with all the means at our disposal" s ' Lord LansdoWIle preceded this ex- plicit enunciation of British policy by a review of the situation in the Per- sian Gulf, as 1t affected British inter- ests, contending that so far as the navigation of the Persian Gulf was concerned, Great Britain held a differ ent position to that of other powers, both because 1t was owing to British sd1lSlscAkCiLultuIC5U LII ilLef anu money that the gulf was now open to the commerce of the world and be- cause the protection of the sea route to India necessitated British predomi- nance in the gulf.
 Lord Lansdowne's attitude in this matter meets with general approval, although the answers thereto of the ntflar nnwarS ir1tRrastad II, fIa rr,rIf aYa awaited with some anxiety.
 } The newspapers here comment on the analogy of the present proceeding, which Captain Mahan so strongly rec commended, to the United States policy of Monroeism. The Westminster Ga zette holds that the British motive, namely, the protection of the sea route to India, corresponds exactly with the Americans motive in excluding Euro pean powers from American waters because their territory is thereby threatened.
