HIS BODY CUT IN TWO.
Man Jumps from Colonial Express to
 Escape Arrest.

Boston, Oct. 20.-The conductor of the Colonial express, which arrived here tonight from Washington and Philadelphia over the New York, New Haven & Hartford railroad. reported that an unknown man who was trying to steal a ride fell or jumped from the train at Elmwood station in Provi- dence, and was killed. The man, who was poorly dressed and evidently a laborer, was found on the front plat form of the baggage car when the train was passing through Westerly, R. I. He told the conductor that he had boarded the train at Bridgeport. He was not able to pay his fare, and the conductor brought him into the baggage car, intending to turn him over to the Providence police. As the train was nearing Providence, the un- known man made a sudden dash for the forward door of the car. This was the last seen of him by the train crew.
 Providence later reported that the body of an unknown man, cut in two, had been found near Elmwocd sta- tiOn,

KAISER NOT TO CHALLENGE
WILL NOT LOOK FOR AMERICA, $
 CUP NEXT YEAR.

All RumOrs Set at Rest by Director
 BulIin, the Emperor's Personal
 Yachting Representative, Who Ar
 rived in This Country Yesterday
 Idea of Any German Seeking the
 Trophy Absurd.
 New York, Oct. 2O.-Emperor William will not challenge for the Americas cup next year, and no other German will try to capture the famous trophy. All the reports to the effect that chal- lenge would come from Germany and the intimation that the kaiser would be the one to issue it were dispelled to-day by Director Ballin, who arrived in this country on the Amerika.
 MT. Ballin is the kaiser's personal yachting representative and brought the schooner yacht Hamburg over here last May for the transatlantic races
 '"The emperor has no idea of chal- lenging," said MT. BaIlin upon his ar rival, and, in fact, the idea of any German seeking the trophy is absurd Not that they would noI like to try for it, but it would be impossible for them to try. The emperor has no yacht to challenge with, and neither has anyone else. There are no designers in Ger many to build racing yacht.
 There is widespread interest in Ger many over international yachting be- cause of the success of the ocean race and the emperor is greatly interested in American boats. He would like to have another cross-ocean race, and he stands willing to give another cup for one, but as the owners of the yachts that competed last spring think con, test every year too much of an under taking. no cup will be offered for next year.
 But one may be expected in 1907, and I understand King Edward would like to donate a cup as we'll"

 New York, Oct. 2O.-Displacing 1000 tons more water than any other craft afioat the new steamer America, of the Hamburg-American line, arrived here to-day after her maiden voyage across the Atlantic.
 The Amerika came from Hamburg, Dover and Cherbourg, leaving the lat ter port at 1:40 a. m. last Friday. From Cherbourg Mole to the Sandy Hook lightship, between which points the time of passage is calculated, the Amerika covered distance of 3050 miles. Her record for the voyage was seven days, seventeen hours and twelve minutes, having arrived at the Sandy Hook lightship at l:52 D. m. to-day. While the vessel made an hourly aver age speed for the voyage of only 16, 46S knots she is capable of much more speed. In making the passage from Dover she averaged 117,25 knots per hour. The steamer carried 1881 per- sons, including the crew. Except for one storm encountered on the ganks of Newfoundland the maiden trip was without incident. Captain R. Sauer- mann, who commanded the Amerika, said on arriving here that the huge steamer handled as easily as small boat.

IRVING UNWORTHY?
Some London Criticism of Decision to
 Place His Ashes in Abbey

Some London Criticism of Decision to
 Place His Ashes in Abbey
 London, Oct. 21.--Many of the weekly publications, including the Spectator, the Saturday Review and the Outlook, have articles expressing regret that the dean of Westminster abbey should have sanctioned the interment in Westminster abbey of the ashes of Sir Henry Irving, and denying to Irving greatness as an actor in the sense that Garrick was great, They argue that space in the abbey has become so limited that none but the nations greatest should be inferred there and that it is impossible to regard Irving in that category. Some of these ar ticles openely assert that there are other actors of Irving's period as great and perhaps greater who nobody would think of proposing for interment in the abbey. and that in time to come it will be regretted that such hasty decision was taken. <...
 At the same time, however, all the articles speak in most generous terms of Irving's great talent and personal character, and repudiate any desire to detract from his acknowledged merit, except as to touching this question of deep national importance-interment in Westminster abbey.
