RELIANCE WINS
FOR SECOND TIME
Shot Over Line With Over Two
Minutes to Spare
CONSTITUTION is SPEEDY
Columbia Was Never In the Race From
the Start, But ths Constitution
outsailed the Reliance on
Two of the Legs.

New York, May 26.-In a gamely-con-
tested race today the Reliance again led
the way across the finish line, winning
her second victory over the Columbia
and her first over the Constitution. Two
minutes and fifty-one seconds later the
Constitution finished and the crew of The
new boat gave her such a cheer as she
deserved The Constitution had sailed a
plucky race and had right 10 share IN
the honors. From the start TO the finish
she had fought out every mile over the
thirty-mile course and on two Of Its legs
had actually outsaied the new boat, d
Performance which restored her prestige
imperiled by her Disappointing showing
in the drifting match last Saturday, ana
makes her a factor to be reckoned with
in the selection Of cup defender.
The Columbia was, for the day, out
classed. From the very start she was
never for moment in the race. While
the Reliance and Constitution were hav-
ing it out between themselves all the way
around the course, the former cup de-
fender was dragging along miles astern
of them. and when the Reliance sailed
across the finish line the Columbia was
more than two miles almost dead to lee
ward The Reliance beat her by Is min
utes and 81 seconds actual sailing time.
Wind Was Regular.
The wind held true at nine to twelve
knots during the race and favored none
of the racers The conditions were ideal
for fair test of the three boats. and the
race today was devoid of the drifting
FEATURE which marred the Two earlier
races
The course was twice around a fifteen
mile triangle, and a 1O-knot breeze was
swapping the bunting of the yachts at the
starting line, when the sleek racers gath
cred there and jockeyed for positions.
Columbia was dressed In a new suit of
sails that set like a glove. The start at
1915 p. m. was almost perfect. Reliance
and Columbia went across the line side
by side, with Constitution trailing by
nearly half mile, but to wndward.
Steadily but very slowly till the first
turn Reliance heightened her lead. The
boats turned the first mark as follows:
Reliance 12:43:O5.
Constitution 12:iS:35.
Columbia 12:45.0S

Constitution Gains.

On the fourth leg the boats had the
wind a point freer, and Reliance nego-
tiated that leg in 2S minutes and S. sec
onds. but Constitution gained nearly half
minute on her.
Again on the next leg the Constitution
out-footed the new boat and gained l
minute and % seconds, but she was still
! minute and IS seconds behind The wind
had shifted, however, until she was near
ly TO windward to the finish line. and
Reliance began to gain again. although
slowly.
Captain Barr sent his boat across the
line while the Constitution was nearly a
mile to leeward of it,

CURRENT COMMENT.

The Albany IN. " Argus Dem.)
says: For a third time, Caleb Powers
has been convicted of the murder of
Gov. GOebel, and this time the penalty
is fixed at death. All that his own elo-
quence, political influence, and hard
swearing could do to save him was
done. To doubt the guilt of the anti
Goebel conspirators, in the face of all
this, would be a wanton impeachment
of judicial honesty and popular self
government in a sister state, as we'll as

(Dem) says: president Roosevelt is
not going to leave any weak spot in the
ranks of American citizenship, if he
can help it. He has just issued an or
der requiring all employees in the gov
eminent printing office to swear to sup
port the constitution of the United
states. They have already sworn fidel-
ity to the union, but as they are men,
bers of the Typographical Union, the
President fears that oath may be am
biguous, and he does not propose to
take any chances"
The Indianapolis Journal Dem.)
says: I'VE insist that there is no oc-
casion for any further extension of our
pension system Already the example
that we have set has had a bad infiu-
ence on the soldiers of the Spanish war,
comparatively few of whom saw any
active service. Claims from this source
are p1ling up at a rapid rate, and the
next demand viii be for a service pen
sion for every man who enlisted for the
Spanish war. And there would be
abundant precedent for it if the plan
proposed by the Grand Army of the
Republic should be adopted Nor is
there any assurance that the legisla-
ton would put stop to the special pen,
ion law. II there We're that would be
fact TO be considered. But many a
man with a service pension would in
sist that the pension was too low, and
would seek relief from Congress as is
done now. The time has come to stop
the whole business. II the Grand

THE 1srHMIAx CANAL SITUATION.

Nobody is in a position to say what
will be done in connection with the
isthmian canal situation. There is,
however. a great deal Of speculation
in respect to the matter All of the
influences that were at work for the
Nicaraguan canal before the Panama
route was decided upon are active
1t seems that a conference of
number of senators and representatives
has been called to meet in Washing
ton soon for the purpose of advising
the President as to the course he
ought to pursue. He is authorized of
course to go ahead with the canal on
the Nicaraguan route. The conces-
sions for the canal on that route have
been obtained by the government, but
those who hold prior concessions from
Nicaragua and Porto Rico have not
been settled with-that is, there are
companies which claim to have con-
cessions which they are willing to sell
to the government for a consideration,
a rather large consideration.
In the meantime certain of the Co
lombians are bestiring themselves to
see if something cannot be done to
bring about the ratification of the
Panama canal treaty by their Congress-
The rejection of the treaty promises
to cause Colombia serious trouble. The
state of Panama is so dissatisfied, be-
cause of it's rejection, that it is in a
condition of virtual instruction.
1t looks as if the President didn't
intend to waste any more time with
the Colombians. They have rejected
the treaty, which contained terms as
liberal as the United States will ever
Offer and if they will not ratify lit
there is no use of negotiating further
with them. The present indications
are that the President is going right
ahead with the canal on the Mica
ragua route.

MIR. CLEvELAND's POPULARITY.

]
Mayor Myers, who has just returned
from a visit to the West, says that
! Mr. Cleveland is popular in that sec
| ton. Indeed. having visited the East
as well as the West during his absence
from the city, he feels prepared to say
that Mr. Cleveland is a favorite with
the aver,g e business man in all parts
Of the country.
1t is no doubt true that Mr.. Cleveland
has many admirers, and perhaps the
Democrats couldn't do a wiser thing
than to nominate him for President,
but they are not going to do it. There
are two reasons why they are not.
One is that, Notwithstanding all that
may be said to the contrary, there is
strong sentiment against a third
term, even though the terms be not
consecutive, and the other is that Mr..
Bryan is far stronger than the Cleve-
land wing of the Democratic party is
willing to admit he is. 1t is true that
he was beaten in Iowa, but he and his
friends managed to capture the Dem
ocratic State Convention of Ohio, and
it is quite certain that in every one of
the Western states he has a following
sufficient to make his influence for
midable 1t is a foregone conclusion
that if Mr.. Cleveland should be nomi-
mated Mr.. Bryan would either openly
oppose him or else would be so in
different that those in sympathy with
/, 4
cess of the Democratic ticket No, Mr..
Cleveland will not be nominated, not
withstandirg the fact that there is a
very general feeling that he is just
the sort of a man needed at the head
of the government.
But we do not understand where
Mayor Myers got the impression that
Mr.. Hearst is strong in the West. OF
course we do not undertake to say he
isn't, but we do not see his name men
were an overwhelming feeling among
Democrats of that section in favor OF
making him second on the presidential
ticket the fact would be cropping out
here and there. 1t is probably true
that there is newspaper jealousy of
Mr.. Hearst, but that wouldn't prevent
the mention of the fact that there was
a strong sentiment in favor of nomi-
mating him for Vice-President.
1t may be that Mayor Myers himself
is a great admirer of Mr.. Hearst, and
therefore sought opinions favorable to
him during his trip. There is no
doubt of course that it is easy to find
in the West men and women who think
Mr.. Hearst is about the greatest man
there is in the country. He publishes
a newspaper in New York, one in Chi
cago, and one in San Francisco. All
of them are of the intense type, and
each of them has a large circulation,
but it is doubtful if the class of men
who will dominate the Democratic Ma
tional Convention look upon Mr..
Hearst as a statesman or as a man
they would like to see either in the
White House or in the position of the
president of the Senate. They will like
ly seek a candidate less noted for
strenuosity and more for judgment
than he is.
The Savannah morning news., 1903-09-04

If Sir Thomas still had hope yester-
day when his yacht went forth for
the third time TO race with the Re
4 lance that he would win one race, that
hope was quickly dissipated, for it
was seen almost from the start that
there was another victory awaiting the
Reliance. Yesterdays defeat was a
pretty bad one the worst of the lot.
When the Reliance crossed the I'm
ishing line Shamrock III was fully
three miles away.
Towards the last the races became
tresome. The public lost interest in
them. Such wouldn't have been the
case if there had been a chance for
Shamrock III to win. Never at any time,
however, was there a possibility for
her to win even a single race, except
through an accident, and Sir Thomas
did not want to win a race in that
way.
Sir Thomas came to this country
this year confident that he had boat
that would carry off the cup. Indeed,
he did considerable bOasting that he
would take the cup back to England
with him, and that it would remain
there awhile. He was not long in dis
covering, however, that Upton luck
and pluck We're not equal to American
genius in yacht building and yacht
sailing The Reliance was in every
respect, except in that Of beauty the
superior of Shamrock III, and the cap
tain and crew of the American yacht
were head and shoulders above those
of the British vessel as sailors.
OF course, Americans are glad that
the cup is to stay on this side of the
ocean, though they would not have re-
GREETED it greatly if Sir Thomas had
been successful, because there would
have been greater interest in the in
tenational yacht races Sir Thomas,
having been defeated three times in
will hardly try again,
and it may be several years before
other English yachtmen will attempt
to lift the cup.
There is only one feeling in regard
to Sir Thomas, and that is of genuine
admiration and respect, In all of the
races he has shown himself a true
sportsman. The longer Americans have
known him the better they have lik-
ed him. The contributions to the fund
to purchase a silver service as a pres
ent to him will be paid with greater
heartiness than such contributions are
generally paid
Sir Thomas will not carry the Amer
ica's cup back to England with him,
but he will carry something far more
valuable, namely, the hearty good will
and admiration of the entire American
people.

A Black TragedY.

The woman with four children who
had come through from Denver. was
nearing Detroit. says the Detroit Free

manded attention every fifteen min

it out. and handed it to him with the
remark:

bule two minutes later and asked to
see the paper. 1t read:
