The Kaiser,s Cup Race.

Navesink Highlands, n. j.. May IL.
The Kaiser's cup race. from the Sandy
Hook light vessel to the Lizard, Eng
land, will start at noon today. The
heavy fog and mist which prevented the
yachts from being sent of yesterday on
their long journey of 5000 miles was
dispelled during the night, the condi-
tons, too, for a lively start were bright.
The first part Of the race for Englands
shores will be beat to windward. A
fine eight knot WHOLESALE breeze came
out of the east by northeast this morning.
Only on the far horizon was there cur
tain of mist. The angry sea of last
night had hattered down aud wind aud
water conditions were excellent for a
start. 1t was just the day that the
shippers of the fore-and-aft rugged YES
sells were looking for and just the sort OF
day to make the hearts of the shippers
of the square rugged ships heavy with
disgust. With the fair breeze and
smooth seas the yawl Ailsa was most
happily suited, and the old salts at the
Hook declared that if the present condi-
tons continue she would have fine
lead by night fall. The excursion feet
was of the Hook by ten o'clock and fol-
lowed the racers out to the light ship.
The disappointment OF yesterdays post
ponement and the cold bleak air did not
seem to cool the enthusiasm of spectators
on the excursion craft. The wind at
1920 was a trihe north of east and
breezing at ten knots an hour. There
was rolling sea. Sandy Hook light ship
was obscured in an off-shore fog and the
news of the start will probably be brought
in by tugs.
Sandy Hook, May IA tug just ar
rived at Sandy Hook reported that the
yachts were sent away at 1915. They
crossed the line in the following order :
Ailsa, first; Thistle, second; Atlantic,
third; Hamburg, fourth; Hildegrade,
fifth; Endymion, sixth; Feur de Lys,
seventh Sunbeam, eighth Apache,
ninth; Etowana, tenth; Valhalla, elev-

Fonrth Baltic Fleet.

Cronstadt, Russia, May l7.-Vice
Admiral Bireleff, who is commander-in-
chief OF the Russian fleets in Baltic ports,
has issued an order to the commanders
of the vessels which will comprise the
fourth Baltic squadron, to be ready 10
sail for the far East on June ii. The
main ships of the new squadron. it is
expected, will consist of two new battle
ships, two cruisers, torpedo cruiser and
a gunboat. There will also be several
minor vessels. The admiralty is placing
a great deal of reliance on the new squad
ron. The officials believe that even If
Rojestyensky should be defeated in the
expected conflict with Admiral Togo he
will be able to indict so much damage
on the japanese that the fourth squad
ron will be strong enough to give Rus
STA the balance of power on the sea in
the far East.

the democrats. exclaims third and
one and all are joining in demand
mon the President to "call OFF, the OBJ
noxious programme and declare for the
salvation of the party that every dollars
worth of material must be of Ameri-
can goods made in American shops.
.'The people of the United States
must pay for the canal with their own
money" said cabinet officer this morn
ing. "and, they ere not going to stand for
the expenditure of that money abroad.
Suppose the prices in the American
markets are little higher than they are
abroad what of it? TafPs defense Of
the move is that he wishes to force Con-
gress to pass law directing the purchase
of supplies at home. That sounds all
right at first blush, but let us loo K at the
effect of the scheme. Several millions
of dollars worth OF materials must be
purchased before Congress meets,
and while these foreign purchases
are being made the soreness through
out the country will continue to
grow. The enemies of the republican
party and of the President will stir up
the Iaboring classes to high pitch OF
diseruntlement long before the conven-
ing of Congress. When Congress finally
gets hold of the matter the country will
be pretty we'll stirred up, and il the
much needed law is then passed it will
look to a man up a tree as if the Admin
istratjon had been turned down by his
own party" 1t is charged by the
staudpatters that the Taft plan wss
sanctioned by the President after little or
no consideration of its possible conse-
quences.
Representative Davis of Minnesota,
who talked with the President this
morning on rate legislation and tariff
matters, is authority for the statement
that the Chief Magistrate will push both
subjects before Congress. "The Presl-
dent has not receded one step from his
stand on either tariff readiustment or
rate legislation" said Mr.. Davis. "The
Senate Committee on Interstate Com
merce cannot run the country aud ii
they do not prepare a bill that means
something the President will use his
influence to have one prepared that will
carry out his ideas of justice to the
shippers both large and small"
DR.. Jacob H. Hollehder, the special
agent sent to Santo Domingo by the
President to investigate the financial
condition of the country and the solidity
of the existing government, had consul
talion with the President this mornl ng.
Later in the day DR.. Hollender returned
and had lunch with the President when
the discussion was resumed. He said;
There il not hint Of trouble down
there now and as every one seems so well
satisfied with the programme that is being
carried out, there seems to be no reason
why the pleasant state of affairs should
not continue"

But it's all right so long as those

with all the authority that is vested in

method, Sensational though it may be,
so long as it brings souls into Gods

mOoted question among the Observant.
Such procedures tend rather to cheaper

Mr.. JAMES Il. CATION in yesterday 5

the race for Lieutenant Governor OF the
State. He gave his reasons for this ac-
ton in his card. Mr.. Cation deferred
announcing his candidacy until he had
been led to believe that Mr.. j. Taylor
Ellyson would not be a candidate. The
latter. however, for reasons best known
to himself, later concluded to enter the
contest. Mr.. Cation had in the mean
time been untiring in his canvass, and
throughout the State had received many
fattering assurances of support; Du'
like many other good democrats, realiz-
ing Mr.. Ellyson's services for the party,
and suffering as he is from impaired
health. he has concluded to abandon the
field. Mr.. Cation has during late years
represented this city and county in the
Legislature, and has been untlrlng IN
his work for the good of his constituents
and State. and while his fellow citizens
would have rejoiced with him in his
elevation to the position of Lieutenant
Governor, they would also have ielt his
loss as a Delegate. He will, like many

He is now familiar figure in Virginia
politics, and the time may come when
the people of the Old Dominion, appre-
ciating his ability, will move him higher
up on the political ladder. In the
meanwhile his Alexandria city and
county constituents hope that he may
be induced to again represent then in
the House of Delegates. 1t is believed
that should he announce himself for
reelection for the position which he has
so efficiently held for the past
years he would have a clear field.
