Fair Haveners After Chat field and Martin on Cut
 Matter.

A meeting of the Eleventh and Twelth ward Civic association was held last evening to consider further action to be taken in regard to the petition for the opening of the old Shore line cut as a street by the city. The matter was placed before the board of alder men in form of petition and after a public hearing at which counsel for the railroad raised the legal point that the city could not take it from the road the question was referred to the corpora tion counsel. who rendered 8 decision which has not come to the committee yet, but which, it is said, upholds the position of the road. The Fair Haven people still believe their position is legal, however and at the session last evening they determined to appoint a committee to continue the campaign. The committee consists of Charles Gay, William Graham and Timothy J. Eagan. This committee was instructed to draw LID letters to be sent to the candidates for mayor of the two political parties, and to their candidates for aldermen at-large, asking them their stand on the matter, and requesting them, if they are elected, to state whether they will cooperate with the Twelfth wArders f in opposing the use of t1e cut by the railroad.
 These letters, it was stated last even- ing, will be sent out to-day, Charles Gay rresi5ed at the meeting last night and Timothy Eagan was secretary.

Those who are not residents of the state were asked by him to wait until the wardens had been communi- cated with and MT. Street sent the let ter asking for the interpretation of the law in this case.
 According to the decision given to- day the students who desire to hunt will have to pay the fee of S10.1O which is required of aliens.

 Should the strike be long continued serious difficulty may be experienced in fulfilling fulfilling contracts. as the men say 1 the master workers are dependent en- tirely upon their own personal efforts, there being no capable journeynaen in 1 the city outside the union, The build. ings in process of construction at pres ent that will be affected are the St l Raphaels hospital on West Chapel street and the Parker building going up on State street, opposite the Jour nal-Courier building, where large number of skylights on which the meI have been employed are being put in

Mrs Ru- dolf, who lives at 6S Locke street, was walking home with Miss Welton, whose home is on Thompson street, and the two say they were passing through Ashmun street, opposite Lake place when the negro jumped out up- on them. He caught Mrs. Rudolf about the waist and attempted, they claim, to get away from her hand bag she carried on her left arm.

 Then they claim the negro darted away toward York street and Miss Welton claims that she heard wom- an scream in that direction shortly afterward, evidently Miss Cummings who claims to have been assaulted shortly after the time claimed by these other women. Both Miss Well ton and Mrs, Rudolf assert that they can surely Identify the negro if they see him again The police believe they have a couple of important wit nesses in the case which is pending ir the criminal superior court.

Desire to Impress World With Sep.
 arate Nationality.

Stockholm, Oct IA deep feeling of patriotism and the desire to impress the world with the separate nationality of Sweden appear to be the underlying motives for the Swedish challenge to a series of races for the Amerlca's cup. "All men applying to participate in this race, from the captain down, will be examined as to their nationality and any man having Norwegian blood even as far back as the fifth generation will be excluded"
 These words were used to-day by a prominent yachting authority in dis cussing the subject. Continuing this man said that Swedish yachtsmen, of recent years, had diligently studied American methods of designing, and racing yachts by means~of the news- papers and visits to the United States, and although Sweden might not win, she certainly would go through the race with honor

CAMPAIGN RALLIES ON IN EARNEST Republicans Have Swedish, Italian and Jewish
 Elements in
 View.
MARTIN REPLIES TO
 THE CIVIC SOCIETIES
Outlines His Stand on the Matters Brought Up by Questions in
 Letter.

The political campaign has reached the stage of the general rallies and there is little to be seen on the surface of things now except when one of these meetings stirs matters up. The repub- licans began their part in the rallies with large Swedish meeting at S52 Chapel street last night at which many of the candidates on the ticket made addresses with Major Tilson and some other prominent members of the party also on the list.
 Down in the Fifth and Sixth wards this evening there will be a rally in- tended primarily for the Italian voters at which several of the candidates will be present and at the same time anoth- CT is planned for the Jewish quarter.
 To crown all there will of course be the big ratification dinner and speech fest at Republican hall tomorrow eve ming when all the candidates will be present and a grand good time furnish, ed. Chairman Macdonald stated last evening that the rally method Would not be used extensively by the republl- cans as they are endeavoring to make thelr campaign more largely personal which they believe will bring the great CT results. He said the situation look cd very bright and reports show good progress made toward the accomp .ish- ment of the desired end in the cam paign.
 The democrats were busy in ths down town wards last night In Wash- ington hall on Grand avenue there was a large meeting held Jointly by the Sixth and Seventh wards which was presided over by ex-P Police Gen,siais isssssfi- CT Eugene R.

LIPTON'S REGRET TOLD IN LETTER Must Abandon Idea for the Present of a Contest for
 the America's
 Cup. CANNOT COMPETE UNDER THE OLD RULE Possibility of Doing So on Even Terms Precluded-- Matter at an End
 With Club.

Dublin, Oct. 1.---Sir Thomas Upton again has expressed his deep regret at the refusal of the New York Yacht club to accept his challenge to race for the America's cup, and in a lengthy letter to the Royal Irish Yacht club he sets forth his reasons in detail The committee of the club met tonight.
 While recognizing the responsibili- ties of the members of the club as trustees of the Americas cup" writes Sir Thomas, 1t might be pointed out that when the deed of gift was drawn up the developments which have talk en place in regard to the modern rac- ing of yachts could not have been foreseen.
 T have already competed three times under the conditions of the deed of gift with the notifications ar ranged under the mutual agreement clause, and my personal experience of these contests is such that I consider that the handicap of having to design a vessel of the type which has been  gradually developed during recent years and which shall be of sufficient ly light construction, yet capable of being taken with safety on it's own bottom across the Atlantic, entirely preoludes the possibility of competing on even terms with a vessel which is not compelled to make this ocean voy- age. My present challenge was drawn up with the view of complying with the principal conditions of the deed of gift, and at the same time encourag- ing the type of vessel which has been approved and adopted by the New York Yacht club. The sport of yacht ing, apart from the pleasure deriv- Ing therefrom is, to my mind, only desirable so long as it serves the pur- pose of improving the type of vessel engaged and 1t was in that spirit that desired to challenge under the rules so wisely adopted by the New York
