OSHKOSH, Wis, Aug. 26.-OveT
$4,000 witnessed the third days ra-
cling of the Inland Lake Yachting as
sociation today. A general holiday
was declared, and excursions from all
points brought thousands of strangers
to the city. The day opened with fair
whole sail breeze of eight miles an
hour, with turnbling sea.
Alberta, the winner of Tuesday, re-
peated her performance today by COM
ing home fully mile ahead of Comet.
Seeress, of White Bear, crossed the
starting line even with the gun, and
held the lead for the first mile of beat
ing.
Alberta and Adef'yn both passed her
and the former held. the lead to the
finish. On the second leg, while in
third place, Seeress broke her spin
maker boom, and, sailing the balance OF
the course without using a flying sail
she gradually fell back and finished

Pluto went down to her first defeat
today, Venture beating her by a good

fourth, and made no gain in the first
six miles. She then worked UP to sec
ond place, which she held to the finish
Pluto still leads on points. A change
in crew will be made on Seeress to-
morrow.
At the annual meeting of the Inland
Lake Yachting association various
changes in racing rules were made. A
change was also made, Increasing the
annual dues of $25 to $50.
The first rule to be altered was that
of ballast. Heretofore the maximum
amount of live ballast has been Csc

These figures have3I been increased
twenty-five pounds in each case. Nc
dead ballast is allowed.
A new rule was adopted. prohibit
ing the drawing outaof boats between
races and placing same on ways OF

necessitating repairs.
A rule with respect to the lufhng OF
boats was made clearer byS holding g
boat which iwrongfully sluffs5 or bears
away, in orderto avoid fouHng, subject
to disqualification.
An effort to adopt q rule permitting
professionals on board yachts of the
association was so discouraged that g
resolution offered to that effect was
hastily withdrawn.
1t was the White Bear club which
originally sought the expulsion of pro-
fessionalism in the asSocia ton, and the
determination to save the sport for the
amateurs has increased yearby year.

TO the Endorsement of man for United

that did not indorse the Chicago or
Kansas City platform was lost more
than 2 to 1. Bryan'S national policy
predominated as much as did john

against Johnson and what they called
socialism for several hours, but the
Springfield, was not presented for the
gubernatorial nomination, while every
nomination on the state ticket was nam

was announced that the name of Tom

the convention for governor, there were
some dissenting Zimmerman votes on
the resolution to make the nomination
unanimous. But Zimmerman's sup

governor and senator had been made.
Still the opposition by dilatory tactics
kept the convention in session for sew

Fight on senatorship.
While the minority reports were

Special Cable to The Globe.
PARIS, Aug 26.-French wheat
growers, particularly those of Nor
mandy and Brittany, are suffering a
tremendous disillusion in regard to the
present crop. 1t has been several
years since conditions were so favora-
bic at the outset but persistent and
ill-timed rains not only have hurt the
wheat, but are interfering disastrously
with the harvest. Many acres of wheat
have been ruined before it was possible
to gather the grain.
1T looked at first as if the crop
would amount to 130,000,OO0 hecto-
liters (36O,33O,OOO bushels)," said an ex-
pert who was sent by the ministry of
agriculture to examine into the crop
prospects today but now 1 should say
that the losses of the farmers in the
north of France because of the rains
will amount to 60,000,000. They are
much disgusted with the situation,
effect upon our markets. In the CEN
ter of France, and practically all Tou-
raine, whole fields of wheat were mum
dated after being cut. In my opinion,
the crop will not be as large as that of
last year, which was below the aver
age"

Appoint Committee to Investigate, and
Russian Delegates Withdraw.


BASL, Switzerland. Aug. 20. - The
debate in the Zionist congress on the
British proposal to set apart a portion
of British East Africa for colonization
by the Jews. closed today. The con-
gress, by 225 votes to III. adopted a
resolution to appoint committee of
nine which will be sent on an expedi-

Russian delegates opposed the project
and left the hall as protest.
The territory that Great Britain has
offered. for Jewish colonization is an
elevated tract 200 miles long on the
Uganda railroad, between Mau and
Nairobi. Sir Henry Johnston, former
special commissioner for. the Uganda
protectorates described this region as
almost unparalleled in tropical Africa,
being admirably watered, fertile, cool,
covered with noble forests, almost un-
inhabited and as healthful for Europe
ans as Great Britain.

THE SIDE OF OLD KESUV/US
Magnificent Spectacle Marks Flow of Stream and Seen
Who Predicted It Is Called by Superstltous Eyed.

NAPLES, Aug. 26-The people of
Naples and the environs witnessed a
remarkable spectacle at noon today.
One thousand feet below the central
cone of Vesuvius the volcano opened
like huge mouth out of which belch-
ed fiery stream of lava, which ran
down the side of the mountain and at
first seemed to menace the observa-
tory. This building, however, is pro-
tected in the direction of the stream
by mound of lava 200 feet high which
was thrown out during the eruptions
of 1895 and 1900
The eruption occurred without any
warning whatever. There was no
earthquake, detonation or rain of ashes
nothing but clear stream of lava
and red-hot stones which were thrown
to a height of 700 feet, producing an
extremely beautiful effect seen from

the observatory. The only danger is
for the new electric tramway up the
volcano, which, however, has thus far
not been touched. The eruption al
ready seems to be decreasing and it is
hoped that no damage will result from
it.
The spectators who were not near
stood entranced at the spectacle, but
those nearer to the volcano were seiz-
ed by panic when the eruption began
and rushed down from the sides of the
mountain and from adjacent country
to the villages of Portici and Rosini,
which are built over the ruins of Her
culaneum. The alarm in these viii
lagos was somewhat quieted by the
mayor affixing notices declaring that
there was no danger and exhorting the
people to remain calm.
The superstitious lower classes are
agitating for the expulsion of Prof.
Krull, of Munich, who predicted the
eruption declaring that he has the

advices from Washington state that
President Roosevelt's recent tour
across the continent, costing nearly
$4,000 for mileage, entertainment, etc.,
of the presidential party, was paid for
by the railroad on which he started
from and returned to Washington.
Some surprise has been expressed by
those who learned of the facts owing
. to the presidents well-known liberal
ity in entertaining as well as his pub
lie and private utterances on the sub
ject of the proper conduct of public
officials. Inquiry developed, however,
that more than one president has al
lowed the railroad companies to pay
every cent of the expense, including
the entertainment of all members of
the presidential party on such trips
from start to finish. The above state
ment comes from sources friendly to
the president and hence must be taken
as official.

cred test vote between Johnson and
Zimmerman after all the contested
seats had been decided in favor of the
former.
On naming a man for senator John
sons supporters were divided. Mayor
Johnson and former Congressman
Lentz have been close personally and
politically for years, but an intense
bitter feeling existed between them to-
day. Lentz openly accused Johnson of
favoring for senator man who had
voted against Bryan. The Zimmerman
men had intended to vote for Clarke,
the Johnson candidate for senator, as
they said he represented their conserv-
ative views, but when Lentz opened
fight on Johnson on the senatorial cam
didate, Zimmerman'S friends voted fof
Lentz for senator, thus driving john
sons supporters to the second ballot.
After the first ballot, which resulted,
Clarke, 1856; Lentz, 222; Saltzgaber.
1875; Baker, II, and Russell 4, the john
son followers made an effort to name
Clarke ON the second ballot. The vote
for Saltzgaber represented the ultra
silver men, who were ardent support
ers of Johnson. But they said they
would support no man who had voted
against Bryan.
Ingalls, Stays Out.
M. E. ingalls,, of Cincinnati, had

delegation for senator and was the
