ANOTHER POSTPONEMENT OF THE YACHT RACE. No Wind Beither Boat Croued tba Lioe. Will Make Another Attempt To-day. Sir Thomas Makes Statement. By Telegraph to the Morning BUr. New York, Bept. 2. The fourth at tempt to aail what was expected to be the concluding race between the Re liance and Shamrock III failed miser- ably to-day. They were not even aent across the line. Both boat were towed out to Bandy Hook lightship In a dense foe and flat calm at 10:30 A. M. and then waited two houra In the hope of a wind from aome other direction than the east to blow away the fog and give them apeed in which to clear thirty milea within five and a half houra. The dwindling fleet waa reduced to just twenty-three. Bealdea the New York Yacht Olub'a tug?, the revenue cutters and the newspaper fleet, there waa only one excursion steamer and a few yachts. The two racing yachts held to their tows and circled about the fleet dur ing the wait. The calm waa varied on 17 oj a wina never exceeding mree knots. At 12:30 o'clock the attempt was abandoned and announcement made that another attempt would be made to-morrow. Soon after the start homeward the wind for the first time aince the mid dle of last week shifted from easterly to south and began to breeze up, an In dication that the long easterly fog "mull" waa breaking and that to-mor row might give the yachts the long de ferred opportunity or going through the formality of aalling the third and probably conclusive race. Statemeot From Sir Thomas Upton. Persistent ru mora were abroad last nleht and thia morning that Sir Thom as Llpton had made two important as sertions: First, that if there was any chance for Shamrock III to win he would de pose Captain Wrlnge and put the yacht under control of Mate Bevls; and second, that Shamrock waa found too long after her apeed triala and that In bringing her up to the proper meas urements she bad been atripped so much aa to lose her speed. Sir Tbomaa was told of these ru mors to-day and he aald with unmis takable emphaaia: "I am going to reiterate moat strongly what I have aald repeatedly: I have no criticism to make of Cap tain Wringe. He haa done hla best for me. If I ahould build another boat and come over here again the captain of it would be Mr. .Wrlnge, and let that be hia commendation. These atories came from people who visit UIO WU WS UUU IUU UiA&D tucir own criticism. If I don't dissent, they go away and say that I practically assent to the view they themselves have asserted. "Now, as to the second rumor, I will not deny it. It ia not worth de nying. Shamrock waa built for me in good faitb, fully aa much ao as waa the Reliance for Mr. Ialen. Up to the time of the first race I thought, and others thought with mr, including mauy experts, that I have a fine boat Reliance ia better. I could not know that before the race, or else why race.

NAMED FRANK WEILBRENNER Waa Well Dressed and Talked Ratllnally to Secret Service Officers Of Ger man Descent and Resides Hear Oyster Bay, N. Y. By Telegraph to the Moraine Btar. Oyster Bat, Bept. S. A man giv ing hia name as Frank Wellbrenner waa arrested at Bagamore Hill late lastlnlght while making a persistent demand to see President Roosevelt The man waa armed with a revolver, I ...n 1 j.j tt- u- I lUliy IU1UBU. uo n aaau w 1 fully village and placed In the town prison. Shortly after 10 o'clock .last night Wellbrenner drove to sagamore mil in a buggy. He was stopped by the secret aervice officer on duty. Wellbrenner said he had a personal engagement with the President and wlahed to see him. At it waa long after the hours when visitors are re ceived, the officer declined to permit him to go to the house. The man in- elated, but the officer turned him away. Boon after wellbrenner returned and again inalsted that he be allowed to see the President for a minute. This time he was ordered away and warned not to return. Juat before 11 o'clock the man returned a third time and made demand of the officer that he ahould be permitted to see the Presi dent at once. The officer's response was to take the man from hla buggy and put him in the stables, where he was placed under the guard of two atable men. A revolver waa found In the buggy. Later, Wellbrenner waa brought to the village and locked up. He is five feet eight Inches high, 28 years old, has a medium-sized dark muatache, dark eyes, and evidently la of German descent. - He realdea at Syoaaet, about five miles inland from Oyster Bay. He was well dressed in a suit of dark material and wore an old fashioned derby hat. While Wellbrenner talked ration ally to the officers laat night, It seema evident from his 'conversation to-day that he is demented. He said that he had received a telegraphic communi cation from the Prealdent, directing him to call at Sagamore Hill. Weilbrenner'a buggy was taken to a local livery barn. When asked what became of the rig. Wellbrenner replied : "Oh, the Prealdent has care of it That's all right" Wellbrenner, several years ago, had a nervous attack which rendered him mentally helpleaa for a day or two, but hla family auppoaed that be bad been quite restored by the medical treat ment he received at the time. Since then he had manifested no symptoms of mental aberration. He had no aoclaliatic or anarchistic tendencies so far as known, never having been in terested in any. questions of that kind. He was employed daily on hia father's farm.' - Wellbrenner waa arraigned to-day before Justice Franklin on complaint of the secret service operatives who placed him under arrest Weilbren ner'a brother William was present at the examination. Justice Franklin questioned the prisoner about his movements last night His replies were made in a quiet tone of voice, but they indicated, apparently beyond doubt, that the man is crszy. Asked why he went to Sagamore Hill, he replied: "I went to see the President about hla daughter, Alice Had you an engagement with tbe Preaidentr "Yea." How was the engagement made!" "I talked with thePresident laat night" replied Wellbrenner. How did you talk with him I" "Oh, I juat talked." A sort of wireless talk was lw "Yes, tbat Is.it ; a wireless talk." Why did you want to see the Presi dent about Miss Alice t" "I wanted to marry her." "Did you ever see Miss Roosevelt?" V T ia h aw nlithl hafAM lilt " & v.f a mmrw uv uiui iviui v mmmw "Where did you see her?'' "At my house.:' Did she go over there !" "Yes, she came m a red automobile." Who accompanied hert" "Her bro ther, Theodore." Justice Franklin artsr ineexamina tion concluded aald he would hold Wellbrenner until an inquiry of lunacylcould be held upon hia case. The examination or wellbrenner was continued this afternoon. Dr. George A. Stewart and Dr. Irving 8. Barnes conducted tbe examination. Well brenner waa declared by them to be Insane. He was placed In the custody of 8herlff Johnson, of Nassau county. Wellbrenner was taken tolMineola, Long Island, on an evening train and placed in tbe custody of tbe county authorities. It appeara that Prealdent Roosevelt waa aware or the trouble the secret service officer had with Wellbrenner last night. After the man had been turned back the second time, despite his Insistence tbat he had an engage ment with the Prealdent, tbe officer. to make aasurance doubly sure, in quired of tbe President about the fellow. Mr. Roosevelt was in hla library, only a abort distance from the soot where tbe officer bad atopped Weilbrenner'a horse. He told the officer he had no engagement with anybody. When Wellbrenner returned a third time with a demand that he be per mitted to see the President, the officer seized him and threw him out of the vehicle over the front wheel. The noise of the scuffle attracted the Preai dent'a attention. He appeared at the door overlooking the. driveway from tbe veranda, as Wellbrenner waa be ing taken into the stables, but return ed to the library almost immediately. wellbrenner haa been practicing with hia revolver, but he would give no reason for his interest in marksman shlp-and to day said he could not shoot very well.

By Telegraph to the Monica Btar. New York, Sept 3. Henry Town send Edson, son of the former mayor of New York, Franklin Edson, in his apartment at 293 West 92d street, to day shot and instantly killed Mrs. Fannie Pullen, of 673 Weat End av enue, and then shot and killed bim aelf. The murder and suicide appear to have been premeditated,' and: fol lowed a dramatic scene in which Ed son called upon Mrs. Pnllen, a cloae and honored friend of hla wife and family, to desert her huaband and chil dren and fly with him to another State. Mrs. Pullen, a very handsome woman, is said to have been the daughter of a United States naval offi cer. The double tragedy broughf to the surface the fact that Edson, who was ,nM.t.At1il a! Of -UTInV..ol'. T3 comptroller" of St. Michael's Protes tant Episcopal churcb, had been sua pected of misappropriating funds be- onging to the parish, ana expert ac countants are at work on his accounts. It waa declared by those related to the family that Edson waa financially dis tressed because of Wall street specul ation s. Whatever may have been the pre cise cause of the tragedy, members of the tutsan family inaiat that the man was insane. There are many Indica tion that Edson was madly in love with Mrs. Pollen. On the body oMhe man was found the following letter: "Mrs. Pullen: Darling Trust John mpllcitly. . He will always be. a go-between and faithful. I know him thoroughly. He will tell you where I am waiting for you, to see your sweet face once more before I go. I am far, far away, but will die true to you, no matter bow long I lve. I shall lead a new life, and an honest one,' and if I can ever come back to you with my paat cleaned up. will dearest. Oh, my God, let me aee and apeak to you once more. I cannot go until you do. I hope and pray that you put in to-day's (Septem ber) .personal. Anyway, I answered it in to-morrow's. I hope you aee it I cannot aleep. I can only pray and pray that you will come to me once more. "Surely you will after all you have been to me in the paat years. You do ove me, darling; I know you do. Come to me once more, darling, if only to say good bye. I shall wait here until you see me no matter how ong. John will tell you my hotel name. Ask clerk for me." The following "Personal" was pub-' iahed in a morning newspaper yester day: B. Loyal-vNothing In answer to message be good to me; worried about you; send word to day; just as true to you as always, with love." Tbe following evidently is a reply to the foregoing as it appeared this morning: "Fanny lam loyal and true; can not go till I see you; trust John; he will tell you where I am; with love." These are believed to be the two per sonals referred to. Dr. Peters, of St Michael's churcb, wboknew the dead man well,Ie emphatic in hia declaration that none but the moat honorable re latione existed between Mr. Edson and Mrs. Pullen. She was, heaaid. Ed aon'a "friend adviser." Mrs. Pullen lived with her husband. John F. Pullen, an auditor at the Grand Central atation, and her two children, Traf ton, 16 years old, and Mary, 11 years old. The Kdsona were to break up their home thia morning, aa a reault of an agreement to sign articles or separa tion. signed the night before. The JIfe of the couple had not been happy. Edson had been acting in a peculiar manner. For that reason furniture movera were in the house packing up bric-a-brac. Mrs. iulson apent laat night with her friend, Mrs. Pullen. She was about to go out this morning when a note came from Edaon asking that Mrs. Pullen accompany his wife to where he was. Edson, his wife, Mrs. Pullen and Dr. David O. Edson, a brother of Ed son, met in n-dson's home. During the conversation In the dining-room Edson Is said to have turned around to Mrs. Pullen and suggested that she leaye her home with him and go to some other State where they could be happy. Mrs. Edson waa hor rified. Mrs. rullen turned away in disgust Dr. Edson, after sharply re buklng his brother, left the room with Mrs. Edson, but both returned In a few minutes when Edaon again turn ed to Mrs. Pullen and began to entreat her to elope with him. Mrs. Pullen was horrified at the suggestion, and poaaesaed with fear of tbe man ran out of the room. Edson, however, seemed to recover his self possession and all went Into the dining room again. A very few momenta after. Mrs. Edaon who. waa weak and trembling, from the ordeal, waa aa elated to another room by Dr. Edaon. A moment later, according to Woods, a furniture man working near by the hall-way, Edson pulled a revolver from hia pocket, and pointing it at Mrs. Pullen shouted "You must go with me. If you don't elope with me Til aee tbat you go with me anyway. In terror, Mrs. Pullen started to run from the room. She bad gone out a few steps when four pistol ahots rang out in quick auccesaion. The first bullet tore Mrs. Pullen's left cheek and the second entered the rieht aide of her bead. According to Wood. Sdson looked at the woman for a moment and then turned the muzzle of the revolver on hia bead, firing two ahota almost sim ultaneously. Both entered about the middle of the forehead and he fell. his head striking and resting on the feet of Mrs. Pullen's body. At the first shot Dr. and Mrs. Edson rushed 'to the door of the room. reaching there juat aa Edson fired the shots which ended his own life. Mrs, Edson fell to the floor in a faint Coroner Jackson, after making thorough examination of the house, said that the evidence showed that the murder and suicide were premeditated that he had found letters and other papers in Edson's possession which showed that he had a love affair. Mr. Pullen, the husband of the mur dered woman, who Is a vestryman o St Michael's churcb, made a statement to-night in which he branded Edson as a defaulter and forger and said that he had stolen from the funds of St Michael's church. He also declared that Edson had attempted to kill Mrs. Edson, but missed and killed Mrs. Pullen. by error. , Mr. Pullen's statement was' not borne out by the investigation of the story : Chrome Chill Cme coroner's physician OUanlon, who found powder marks on the dead wo nian's fac , showing that" the pistol must hav oeen held very dose. Dr. Cyri'i Edson," a bro her t t the suicide, sa -1 to night that tue intima tions of improper relation between his brother and Mrs. Pulleu were ab solutely false. His brother, he said, had recently been acting very strangely and had admitted that he waa involved in financial difficulties. Hla family, Dr. Edson, said, had be come so alarmed over nu mental eon- dtion tbat arrangements had been madelto have .him examined by an alieniat. The shooting, Dr. Edson declared, was undoubtedly committed In a moment of maniacal frenzy. THRASHING A KING Copyright, 1903, by C. B. Lewis, -We were trading to the Loyalty Is lands In the brig Louise of San Fran cisco and on this particular trip bad anchored in a bay in the king's own Island and opposite his village. Tbe king was called Tom John, and be pro fessed the .greatest friendship for trad ers. We had been there for ten days 'and nothing whatever had occurred to make us suspect treachery. The cap-; tain and I had been ashore several - times, been treated with the greatest deference, and the natives who had boarded us did not need watching. ' We soon received a royalvlsit. The king was accompanied by three. of bis escort, and we afterward remem bered that they appeared to be-more; Interested in the windlass, cable and. the' spare anchor on the rail than in all; else about the craft A pressing Invi tation was given us to attend a royal feast on shore that evening, a sort of "blowout" to prove the friendship of the Islanders, but aa the captain was not feeling well be declined to accept. Tom John and his friends appeared to be very much disappointed and upset that we were not to go, but when they left the brig It was with the under standing that the feast should come off a day or two later. The night came down very dark, with the promise of a change of weather. Every night we had had two armed men on watch, while the cannon was loaded with canister and the muskets were ready at hand in case of an alarm. There were thirty canoes drawn up on tbe beach, and the adult male popula tion of the town counted up at least 350. For nrms they had a few old muskets, but depended mostly on blow- guns, lances and bows and arrows. Aside from these every man had a knife. We had an anchor watch set, with orders to be extra vigilant, and this man had not been on duty an hour when he felt, as he afterward explain ed it, that something was wrong with the anchor or cable. He aroused the man who had left the deck, but was ridiculed for his fears and ordered to return to his station. Ten minutes later, having heard suspicious noises over the bows, he ventured to wake me up and relato his fears. I went on deck with him, and after listening for a few minutes became satisfied that some thing queer was going on and called the captain, who at once ordered the sleepers to be turned out. The black rascals were trying a trick worthy of a Yankee. The tide would begin to flow nt 2 o'clock. Four of their largest canoes bad paddled quiet ly out to the anchor, divers had gone down with the rope, and they were lift ing it off the ground to let the brig be drifted ashore with the tide. We couldn't see ten feet into the night, but we came to this conclusion from the feel of things, and we didn't reach that conclusion a mlnuto too soon. I went down Into the cable tier and softly knocked out the shackle pin, while the captain saw that tbe end of the cable went overboard without noise, being lowered by a rope. At the same time men were sent aloft to loosen the sails. and we got steerage way on tbe brig just in time to save her. Some of the fellows must have been nearer than we imagined, for as we headed across the basin they raised an alarm, a score of torches were lighted simultaneously and three canoes full of men -came dashing at our port bow. The captain and a sailor slewed the gun around and poured its contents into the approach ing crafts, and the discharge waa fol lowed by such shrieks and yells as I never want to hear again. We dared not risk the attempt to leave the har bor with the darkness so thick around us and the breeze shifting about so un steadily, and for the nelftwo hours we were boxing about the basin and ex pecting an attack any moment. When daylight came the wind set tled into the north and was fair for a run out. The captain wanted to teach the heathen a lesson first, however. There was a fleet of a dozen canoes coming out for us, and the fellows were no doubt pleased and surprised that we had not escaped to sea. Every man was told what to do, ana we put the brig directly for the fleet When within musket shot the cap tain opened with canister, and later on we used -our muskets to good ad vantage. In passing through the fleet the brig ran down a canoe with nine men in it, and I believe we killed a dozen outright None waited for a second dose, but made for the shore as fast as possible. In one of the canoes was the king himself, and one of our crew brought a musket to bear on him and put a bullet into hia shoulder. We had won a victory, but the cap tain was not yet satisfied. We had about thirty solid shot in the maga zine, and standing back and forth across the basins, as near the town as we dared approach, they were sent whizzing from the big gun to knock thlng9 Into fragments. Every Inhab itant fled to the woods as we opened fire, and, though we were not using hot shot three or four fixes were kindled and the biggest part of the town was laid In ashes. There was na fear of the natives at tacking us if we landed, as the roar of the big gun and the havoc wrought by the cannon balls had given them a fright ihes ' would not get over in a whole day. We put off In boats, land ed on the beach, and what buildings had been spared we applied the torch to, and before the brig sailed away everything was In flames. The plot to massacre us originated with the king, who declared that It could not fall. The fact that it did fail so Incensed the people against Tom John that he lost bis head before the brig was , out of sight, as we afterward came to know. M. QUAD, Pay. Pnce50c.

Well informed persons, however, assert tbat the re port waa correct, but that ita prema ture publication diaarranged the plans of the revolutionists, and therefore it is denied.
