# Allowed to Race on Equal Terms--He Will Build

I will not engage to sail marine freak
across the ocean to compete against
a skimming dish. When the Sham

in an ace If sinking with all hands

man to subject his life to such use

Sir Thomas further said that Ihe
hoped the New York Yacht Club would
permit ;tErace under conditions he
would suggest, If they did not, he felt
that there WAS but enc thing left 70
do. namely, to leave Il sum in his Will
with directions to his executors to build
4 yachtSto compete for thc America $
cap whenever the New York Yachting
organization would sanction Il contest
under fair conditions.
MI GarrctSon added that Sir Thomas
is rtn"t s"ntinG the yachting spirit of
England in his ambition for another
challenge
More than that said Mr. Garrett
son. King Edward himself is deeply
interested in yachting and has been
working to restore CoWes to it's
premier position as a yachting center,
Just as the Kaiser is working to make
kiel pre-emnent. His renewed efforts
have the support of King Edward and
the alistocratlc circles in England give
him tho countenance, which, it is said,
they have 50 far withheld.'
1t is evident here that if the New
York Yacht club should accept a ,,hai-
lcnge from Sir Thomas on the condi-
tons he names, it would be direc,
violation of the deed of gift by which
George l.. Schuyler gave the America $

Times Star, that Sir Thomas purposcd
sailing shortly for New York and would
issue a challenge for a yacht race toi

ton in regard to q further attempt u
lift the cup had not changed.
Il am always ready" said Sir Thorn
as, TO challenge with any size boat
they like and under the so-called uni
versal rules now existing in the New
York Yacht Club and all The other
clubs in America; but | am unWillin.;
to challenge under the rule of So years
ago, which now is not used in any

Il am most anxious to arrange 4 con-

ought to be good enough for this"
Sir Thomas will sail for New York
this month, but the exact date has not
yet been settled.

Government Saves its Dignity by
Refusing to Gust simyan.

Paris, March 22.-Five thousand
striking telegraphers and postmen
met this morning and decided that
the recommendations of the strike
committee in matters of settlement
constituted surrender to the gov
ernment because the resignation of
M. Simyan, under. secretary OF posts
and telegraphs, had not been secured.
Consequently another committee was
appointed to see the premier. 1t is
the general opinion that the strikers
will emerge victorious and that the
government has saved its dignity in
refusing to- GUST Simyan. This Off
cial, however, has already been elm

the minister of public works will treat

read absolute silence prevailed, until
Attorney Eaton arose and asked that
the. jury be polled. Judge Mills poll
ed the jury, asking each juryman if
that was his verdict and to which
interrogatory they all responded in
the affirmative. The defendant was
remanded to the custody of the sher-
iff till sentenced by Judge Mills, and
Saturday afternoon was brought into
court and sentenced by Judge Mills.
During the interim between Friday
night and Saturday afternoon, friends
and relatives of the defendant secured

ple,. and by eight members of the jury,
asking the court to extend clemency
to the defendant, by giving him the
minimum sentence prescribed by the
