UNDER NEW TERMS.
CHALLENGE OF SIR THOMAS ron
 CUP IS DIFFERENT.
Letter Received by New York Yacht Club But Details Not Given Out '-Belieyed He Wants z5-
 Foot Water Line.

New York. Sept. 22.--sir Thomas Lipton's challenge for the Americas cup reached here today on the steam ship Umbria and members of the New York Yacht Club are waiting with keen interest the meeting on Wednesday. when the challenge will be formally considered
 No one at the club was in position to state the nature of the conditions which Sir Thomas desires to have gov- ern his fourth attempt to lift the cup. twas said that no intimation of the contents of Sir Thomas's communica- ton would likely be divuiged until af- ter the meeting.
 Discussion of the challenge at the Yacht Club tonight indicated, notwith- standing the diverse opinions held as to racing for the historic cup under the new rule. that the challenge will be accepted. Members of the club feel that unless Sir Thomas has named challenging conditions, the acceptance of which would be out of the question, refusal to defend the cup under the present governing rules would provoke a storm of protest from the public.
 It is believed by the club members that Sir Thomas wants to compete for the cup with sIoop seventy-five feet on the water line and the present rac- ing rules of the club to govern. With seventy-five foot water line, the Irish challenger would spread some- thing under 1000 feet of canvass
 That Sir Thomas had not challenged under the old racing rules, under which the Reliance. Columbia and the three Shamrocks were built. is certain, for

BARREN OF RESULTS
PEACE CONFERENCE AT THE
 HAGUE HAS BEEN USELESS.
Ambassador Choate About the Only Delegate Who Thinks Anything Has Been Accom- piis hed---SOuth
 Americans Distrust Us.

The Hague, Sept 22.--After having been in session over three months. and with adjournment probably a month in the distance, it is recognized generally, and even by the most op- timistic in the peace movement that the second international peace con- ference has been and will be at its conclusion, barren of results leading to permanent measures of benefit to the peace of the world.
 MT. Choate of the American delega- tion, however. is still optimistic re- aarding the results. even on the great questions, and especially that of a permanent court of arbitration. being satisfied that the principle Is admitted. He thinks that once the conference has concluded it's session, 1t will be an easy matter to overcome the preJu- dices concerning the allotment of Judges, and that thereafter the estab- Iishment of the court will be an easy task. r
 The general opinion among the oth- CT delegates, however. differs from that of Mir. Choate.
 The prevailing opinion as expresseo by one of the leading delegates IS tnae the absence of results in the conference on the great questions was due to the lack of preparation by all the countries represented.
 Indeed. what is to be decided, he de- cfared, is that the chief result Of the conference will be a growing feeling or difidence on the part of the Soutn Americans towards Washington as, right or wrong, they accuse the United states of having neglected them and or caring only for working in accord with Great Britain and Germany.
 It is generally remarked that the United States should have come to the conference with the certainty of having the support of all Latin American coun- tries, or should have abstained from proposing projects that were destined to meet with opposition.
 The remainder of the work will keep the conference busy until the middle of October.
 It Is estimated that the conference has cost altogether $l,30o,00o.

New orleans. Sept. 22.-The Plea yune's weekly cotton report will say tomorrow:

 Cotton growing this season in the rich nlluvial lands of De Soto and neighboring parishes in Louisiana proved a failure because of boil weevil ravages, the average yield in this par ticular locality not being more than one bale to five acres.
 The plant in the lowlands possesses thick foliage which shielded the weeviI from the burning sun and made multi plieation easy. The highlands did not fare so badly. though the yield there will be curtailed by prolonged drought.

 The prohibition forces organized for the campaign April 17th, and for two months they made quiet but energetic effort in every beat in the county.
