inmate the Jews and to destroy the
newspaper Offices in revenge for
groundless accusations against the
troops of their participation in masss-
ores and pillage and in the protection
of rowdies.
This is exciting the population
against the army.
The Jews assert that the officers de-
liver anti-Semltic speeches in the bar
racks after removing the Jewish SOL
diers and that Gov. Gen. Kaulbars him
self has confessed that the officers are
burning for revenge on the Jews and
that he is unable to guarantee the pre-
servation of order.
In view of the fact that this city Is
entirely cut off from St. Petersburg
and thus altogether in the hands Of the
local authorities the Jewish communi-
ty implores all civilized nations and
their governments to take all possible
measures at st. Petersburg to prevent
a catastrophe which may exceed any
thing that has yet occurred.

SCENES IN AUTO.BOAT RACE
Some of the Boats Have Twelve CYL
in ders in Their Motors.

II IS an exciting scene to watch half
q dozen Of these racing machines in
a contest. There are usually two men
in each boat. one handles the steer
ing wheel while the other watches the
motor. These men are clad in oil
skins. In one boat the Mercedes, the
crew. as they arc called. usually have
life preservers around their necks. and
underneath the ollskins are only bath
ing suits, so that in case Of accident
their chances OF drowning are con-
siderably lessened. These oilsklns fit
tightly around the neck and wrists to
keep out the water that "smothers'
over all as the boat rushes along. The
men crouch down TO offer as little re-
sistance to the wind as possible.
The boats are built so low that not
more than two feet Of the hui is
above the surface of the water. Puff
ing and snorting. "chunking" and
"chooting," they seem almost to have
life as they squirm and twist an
swering to the slightest turn Of the
wheel in the hands Of the solitary fig
ure standing at the forward part of
the boat.
As the time for the start draws near
they approach the line which marks
the beginning of the race. Each
helmsman has placed his boat in as
favorable a position as possible The
prows of the boats are cutting the
water cleanly and on each side a wave
curls i'm the air and, turning over,
tumbles in a graceful cascade on each
side of the racing machine. Then the
starting signal sounds and they are
of. The man at the motor gives it a
little more life, and the tiny craft
seem fairly 20 hy on toward the next
mark Spray is thrown high.
Some Of this falls on board, but the
launches are moving so fast that
most reaches the water again only af-
ter the boats have passed by. Now
one shoots ahead, but only for a mo-
ment and then another has overcome
that advantage and passed the aspr-
ant for the lead The helmsmen are
Icrouching over their wheels. Spray is
binding their eyes, but they are
strainlng their sight to catch q
glimpse Of the mark for which thel
are steering. The water is whippe,

New Castle, sept lon September
II next Chancellor John r. Nicholson
will place in the hands OF Andrew e.
sanborn Of Wilmington. attorney for
the National Tube Company, a written
opinion confirming his verbal opinion
given some weeks ago in the temporary
Injunction proceeds instituted in the
Court Of Cnancery by the tube conn
pany against the city Of New Castle.
The point involved was the payment
OF certain sums Of money due the city
BY the company for taxes and which
the latter alleged were too high and
sought a restraining order ON the city
against collecting them by law.
After going into the question care
fully, Chancellor Nicholson refused to
grant the motion and dismissed It,
His opinion at that time was given
verbally. but now as Mr. Sanborn has
requested It he viii give an opinion IN
writing on the date named.
10 was believed by many that there
was still another opinion to be given
by the Chancellor on the subject, but
as a matter Of fact his decision given
at first was final ana the written
opinion viii embody the decision so
given. The particular amount involved
in the question at issue was unpaid
taxes for the year 1903 or S2675.4O plus
six per cent interest totaling S2S35.06.
Since that time the company has
charged against II the taxes for tho
year 1904 Of S2.650.2O plus 6 per cent.
Interest or S2S09.23 and the face value
OF The taxes for 1908 Of S2,129.76. The
entire amount now owed tho city hy
