Upton TO BUILD SHAMROCK w.
Will Be Designed by George L. Wat
son if Health Permits

A cablegram from London last night
says: The Herald's Glasgow correspondent
telegraphs that there is every probability
that George L. Watson will be the designer
of the Shamrock w should his health per-
init him to accept the commission. This is
doubtful. For several months his health
has been Indifferent, and he is unwilling to
undertake the work and worry of designing
and experimenting the building Of an
other challenger.
Sir Thomas Upton has consulted promi-
nent yachtsmen and come to the conclusion
that Watson is the most likely to further
his chances Of success.
Watson has had long experience in Amer
icas Cup racing beginning with the de-
signing of the Thistle in 1887. Should Wat
son accept the new yacht will be built by
the Dennys OF Dumbarton.
Sir Thomas Upton in an interview said:
THE New York Yacht Club has framed
new rules since the last race, and at pres
ent I do not know whether it will allow
the next race to be sailed under the new
measurements or whether it will insist
on it being sailed under the same rules
which controlled the last race.
ION this decision must depend my plans
for the design Of the Shamrock Nv, but l
am doing all 1 can to advance matters in
the meantime.
British yacht designers, l may say, are
not anxious to design boat to meet the
requirements of the old rules, but are very
keen to bring out a boat to compete under
the fresh measurements.

PREVENTIVE OF DREAD TYPHOID
Head Of Philadelphia Health Board
Fayors Use of Copper Kettles.

A dispatch from Philadelphia last night
SAYS: Another popular fallacy was exploded
yesterday, when DR.. Edward Martin. d.
rector of the department Of public health
and charities strongly advocated the use
of copper kitchen utensils. Said DR.. Mar
tin:
Typhoid germs in polluted water can
be as effectively killed by the use of a
copper vessel as by boiling the water. If
drinking water is placed in a copper vessel
at living room temperature for mini
mum period of four hours or in similar
vessel in the temperature Of an icebox for
ten or twelve hours all the typhoid germs
will be killed"
But is there not danger of copper pois-
oning?"
mo that is a popular fallacy. Before
we knew as much as we do now we at
tributed to copper certain forms OF pto-
maine poison for which 1t was by no means
responsible. AS matter Of fact the per-
son who partakes of a meal of the little
French canned peas eats more copper than
one who drinks from copper vessel Tor

deed, declared on one occasion when 1t was
asked to prosecute certain persons for adul-
terating their product with copper that
certain quantity OF that metal was bene-
fetal"
to stand in a copper vessel?"
IAN infinitesimal quantity of copper Is
dissolved and 1t Is this copper in its dis
solved or collodiai state which kills the
germs. This fact Is made clear In the
studies which the United States govern
ment lately has been making. Indeed, the
government is considering the ACCESSIBILITY
of lining the canteens of soldiers with cop

HEARST NAMED FOR GOVERNOR.
His Influence With Labor Folks Agi-
tates Esopus.

A dispatch from Esopus. N. Y, last night
saws: The latest gossip heard among the
politicians at Esopus is that William Ran
dolph Hearst is to try to win the nomina-
ton for governor. This. however. Is in the
event that there should be disagreement
between the Tammany forces who are now
advocating the nomination Of Goodyear
and the Stanchfield element, managed by
David B. Hill.
It is unofficially said by some of Judge
Parker's friends that Mr.. Hearst now
would be most acceptable to them. He
would take up the campaign, they think,
and put life into 1t by the use Of his money
and by the employment OF all the political
forces he used so lavishly in booming him
self for the nomination that was delivered
to Judge Parker.
No one here appears to know exactly
where Mr.. Hearst stands: whether he Is
for the ticket, or whether he IL subtly

Parker and Mr.. 6heehan. Their corre-
spondents here have picked Up the most

AN ENGINEERING ACHIEVEMENT
Galveston Celebrates Completion Of It's
Great Sea Wall.

A dispatch from Galveston. Tex, fasT
night says: The completion OF the Calves
ton sea wall. the greatest structure of its
Kind in the world, was celebrated today 10y
running excursions from different parts OF
the state to Galveston. Governor Lanham
was present and made a eulogistic address,
commenting on the remarkable work which
has been accomplished here, Galveston
being now in line to seek advantage from
the unique position of the city as an up-to-
date American port and railroad center
nearest of all to the new Panama canal
and a natural outlet for the commerce OF
nearly one-half the United States.
The sea wall was completed the last OF
July. Two granite monuments were erected
at the foot of fremont street to comment
crate the completion of the wall, and these
monuments were unveiled today. The wall
is II J03 feet long. 10 feet wide at the base.
5 feet wide at the top, and stands IL feet
above mean low tide, with a granite riprap
apron extending q feet out on the gull
side. The contract price of the wall was
81, 198. 31S. The actual construction of the
wall proper consumed one year four months
and seventeen days.
The grade of the city Is now to be raised
to slope gradually from the top of the sea
wall. This will necessitate raising of the
grade from one to fifteen feet, according to
location. For this purpose the state OF
Texas has donated all state taxes collected
in Galveston county for a period OF eighteen
years. Bonds to the amount OF 81, J0J,ON
are to be issued.

inflnitesimal details which offered point
that would estrange democrats and have
worked them INCREASINGLY.
Judge Parker has noticed the lack or
strenuous effort on Mr.. Hearsts part to
arouse enthusiasm. The questions that
naturally arise are: Is Mr.. Hearst sulking,
and Is his price for endeavor the guberna-
torial nomination? 1t has been declared
authoritatively, not, however, from any
one connected with the political house on
Rosemount Hill, that prior to the st. Louis
the nomination for United States senator
offered him If he would withdraw in favor
Of Judge Parker after the first ballot at
st. Louis.
Hearst Indignantly declined. Another story
has 1t that the gubernatorial nomination
was again offered him and his answer was
a snub; that he gave the emissaries shrug
Of his shoulders and walked from the room.
Mr.. Hearst two years ago wished the
nomination for governor. David B. Hill
support of the editor All the machine
forces were promised to him by Hill. and
Mr.. Hearst had gone so far as to make
donations to the campaign far In advance
the convention that nominated Coler that
Mr.. Hearsts Albany correspondent discov-
cred and notified Mr.. Hearst that Mr.. Hill
was not playing fair.
Mr.. Hill denied that he was acting under
hand. He declared that Hearst was his
man, and, as penalty for the Albany re-
porter,s story. he demanded that Mr..
Hearst discharge the reporter, which Mr..
Hearst didn't do The absence of enthusi-
asm and the apathy Of the so-called labor
element is frightening the Parker people
immensely. They see in Mr.. Hearst plenty
of money for campaign work: they see In
his newspapers articles which daily COM
mend Watson.
Lamont Is regarded as not desiring the
nomination; Goodyear 1t Is declared would
weaken instead of strengthen the ticket
because of his opposition to Bryan in the
last two campaigns. Stanchfield 1t is said.
Is too near Hill. But will Belmont stand
for Hearst, even II Judge Parker assents?
Word has been brought to Esopus that
IN any event Mr.. Hearst will stand for re-
election to Congress from his district. 1t
Is known that Tammany long ago gave the
W1gWams consent for his return. But 1t
Is argued here that a Congress nominee
only he would Po no further in his contri-
buttons to the ticket than money with
which to insure his own election.

titled to consideration, as they have taken

batter is now above the 400 mark, Collins,
with but five games to his credit, being the
only one to top it. The first regular player
in the list is Lajoie, and the Cleveland
leader still has a big lead for batting hon
ors in the league. He has played in ninety
five games and his average is 1888. Willie
Keller of New York is next in line. and

first three men in the league are well dis

Washington does not show up in the 300
ranks. and Jake Stahl, with 81 average,
carries off the honors for the Senator's with
something to spare. Kittredge and Huels-
man are next to show with .247 and .241
respectively while the others are punched
lower down.
In pitching Smith of Chicago has the
edge but he has taken part in but fifteen
games and ChesbrO. who is next in line,
has pitched thirty-three. Smith has won
twelve of his games, while Chesbro has an
nexed twenty-five. Winter of Boston has
pitched but eight games. and Waddell
should be ranked ahead of him on this &C
count. Waddell has pitched in thirty-one
games and he has won twenty-one Ches-
