CHALLENGER AT DISADVANTAGE
Scotch Yachtsmen Think Americans
VIII Have Best of Upton
Under New Rules.

GLASGOW, Dec. Especial -scotch
yachtsmen, who have discussed the plans
made by Sir Thomas Upton for another
race for the Americas cup, seem TO think
that even under the new rules the chal-
lenger will be at a disadvantage 1t is ar
gued that American designers will have had
more experience with the rule than those
who will design the cup challenger. A
yacht, however it is admitted, Is to a GER
tain extent public property as soon as It
makes its appearance I'm race, and it is
believed the designers will then be able to
determine just how the Americans have
gone to work with the rule. The subject
first brought up by one of the yacht
ing weeklies on this side Of the water
which pointed out that If the latest state
ments could be accepted reliable the
measurement rule to be applied to the con-
Test promised for 1908 will be that which
B now recognized by the New York Yacht
club. Under this arrangement 1t is claimed
Herreshoff will start with the initial ad-
vantage accruing from the opportunity of
having had a couple Of years of experiment
ing with the rule before being called upon
to apply It to the production of cup chal-
lenger.

BEARING REVEALS A FRAUD
Man wearing Uniform Of German
Captain f. Discovered by
His Gait.


BERLIN. Dec. 22.-(Special.)-The IN
military gait OF man dressed in a cap
tain's uniform who walked down Kyff-
hauder street the other evening attracted
the attention Of several persons who
called the attention Of a policeman to
his appearance.
The policeman seeming a new case Of
"Koepenlcklng." to coin a word expressing
an idea greatly in vogue since the ad-
ventures Of certain criminal with a GER
tain mayor, accosted the individual and
declared him under arrest. How dare you
arrest me?' demanded the man. Don't
you see 1 am an oflcer?"
The policeman refused to allow himself to
be bluffed and whistled for another police
man to help him.
The man thereupon dealt the policeman
a blow in the face with his fist and several
passers-by were obliged to lend assistance
before he was overpowered and dragged to
the police station. Here he again declared
that he was an officer and threatened the
officials with all sorts OF pains and penal
ties for insulting the imperial uniform.
Finally the policeman tore the uniform
from his back revealing underneath the
coarse and dirty attire of a gas worker.
He then confessed that he was a laborer
named Ewing who had made wager in a
tavern that he could do what Captain
Koepenicl5 did. He wept bitterly over his
disastrous failure.

CHILEANS ARE NOT PLEASED
Bolivia Let's Railway Contracts to
United States When Chile
Wanted Them.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 22.-Chilean opposi-
ton to the plan for having the new rail-
ways of Bolivia constructed by Speyer
Bros and the American National bank of
New York is causing much discussion in
Latin American diplomatic circles.
The Chilean newspapers are bitter in
their criticism of Bollvia's action in
awarding the contract, which is alleged to
be in violation of the treaty disposing of
the difference between Bolivia and Chile
incidental to the serious disputes over the
territory which involved Brazil, Peru,
Bolivia and Chile
Chile agreed to pay Bolivia about e2500,-
900 in satisfaction Of its claims and as this
money Is being expended in railway con-
struction the Chileans, according TO advices
received here, feel that they should have
been permitted to recover some Of this
money through railway construction con-
tracts.
The railway plans Of the Bolivian gov
eminent are more extensive than anything
of the sort attempted in South America
since the construction OF the Argentina
railroad system and include a projected
line to conect La Paz with the Argentina
railway and lines to the coast as well as
into the rubber forests.

WHITE MEN ARE DENOUNCED
Philadelphia Constitutional League
Against Negroes Exists.

PHILADELPHIA, Dec. 2.-William s.
Sinclair, president, and NJ F. Mossell, sec
rotary of the local branch Of the Constitu-
tional league. today sent lengthy mes
sage to President Roosevelt, denouncing
the action taken in dismissing the MEM
bers Of the Twenty-fifth infantry.
After protesting against his 'superheated
denunciation Of the colored troopers" the
message takes up the reference to shielding
criminals and charges that even up to the
present day "murderous organizations Of
white men IN TIE south are carrying on
their war on the colored people" The
protest continues:
These secret clans hesitate not to assas-
sinate us government officials and band
together to shield and protect each other.
They are supported by the white people
and have very recently seized and lynchcd
a prisoner who was in the custody of the
supreme court Of the United States, ana
while the lynchers were In Washington an,
swering the charge Of contempt before the
supreme court OF the United States the
nation was shocked ~ the fact that the
president received and hOnored the lynchers
at the White House. As a matter Of fact
no peoples have shielded more criminals
and covered up more crimes than the white
people OF the south. And in the south the
blood of more innocent men and women
shed by red-handed white clans, cries from
the ground for vengeance than in all the
other parts of the United States

POOR MAN SPURNS FORTUNE
Patrick MuIIiEan Prefers to stay I'm
Poor House Than Enjoy
Heritage.

Patrick Mulligan, the inmate Of the
county poor farm who recently fell heir to
a large sum of money from the estate OF
his brother in California, will not leave the
county institution even If he does become
rich, unless he is compelled 70. He declares
he is perfectly satisfied where he Is and
does not want TO leave He takes very little
interest in his windfall and has made nc
great effort 10 find out about It.
1t is probable when he comes into his
fortune the county authorities will consent
20 allow him TO remain at the p5or farm
provided he relmburses the county for the
expense of his room and board, 1t Is said
this could be done by the appointment of a
guardian for him who might be able to
complete arrangements with the county
board. The amount Of his share in the
property has not been determined yet but
IL IS said to be large.

GENOA FINANClERS HARD HIT
Contract to American Steel Company
and BOurse Operations Bring
About Depression.

MILAN, Dec. 22.-(special. THE indus
trial and financial world of Genoa is pass
ing through a serious crisis. This is due
TO a large extent to the fall in the shares
of the Metallurgical trust, headed by the
great establishment of Torni for furnish
ing the state with projectles and armor-
plate The great majority of those shares
belong to Genoese fnanciers and private
people. An enormous fall in the shares
has caused several reverses OF fortune and
has ruined many stockholders and Bourse
gamblers.
The fall is partly due to the Bourse opera
lions of a high official of the Terni works
and who has opened a big bull account
and has since resigned. He was con-
fronted by the operations Of a group Of
Milanese bears" against whom legal pro-
ceedings for gambling are pending, but It
is in reality chiefly owing to the fact that
the Italian government has ordered $500
tons OF armor plate from an American
company. the Midvale firm, instead OF from
the Terni works, which have hitherto ex-
clusively supplied armor to the Italian
navy
