' w i a. . mii rf v i s m a a t a s -w-m TIME LIMIT NOT MADE. THE THIRD ATTEMPT AT THE YACHT RACE A FAILURE. SHAMROCK LEADS AT THE TURN. V The Sail Down to (the Buoy Splendid Exhibition of Seamanship Saamrock Better Handled than her Bival Co lumbia's Daring Maneuver -Home Stretch Under Light Breeze-Wind Die Down -Time Expires The Race Declared off with Colombia Slightly In the Lead. New York, October Old Boreas again today played battledore and shuttlecock with the great single stick ers, and the third attempt to sail the first race of the Columbia and Sham rock series for the international tro phy ended in failure. The race was de clared off fifteen minutes before the time limit expired, with the yachts still five miles from the finish; but the vast throngs who went down to the sea to witness the battle royal were in a measure compensated b seeing a mag nificent light weather duel. In the end, the disappointment of the patriots was sharpened perhaps by the fact that when the race was abandoned, the Col umbia was in the lead and improving her position, and had it been finished today the American champion might have had one race to her credit. After three trials the experts are about as mrfch mystified as they were at the beginning concerning the merits of the two boats. Nothing but a spank ing wholesail breeze will furnish a true test. Today, as oh the two previous days, the course was laid fifteen miles dead before the wind and return. So evenly matched were the beautiful, clean limbed racers; that they rounded the outer mark like thoroughbreds, almost neck and neck and finished after a three-hour thresh to windward with the Columbia's white, sharp-like nose half a length in front in the weather position, but so close was her rival that the black shadow of the Shamrock's looming sails was silhoueted against the yankee's snowy canvas. As a result of today's struggles, and those of Tuesday and Thursday, the talent are a good deal confounded. Some of them differ as to the merits of the two boats, but they seem unani mous upon two things that the Sham rock is the ablest boat that ever cross ed the western ocean to lift the mug, and, what is still more important, that she is more ably handled than the De fender. The superior'' seamanship of Captain Hogarth and his crew was de monstrated at several critical points in the race today. TJie Irish "boat did undeniably better work to windward. She carved her way up into the wind in astonishing style. But here again the Columbia ssemed to be able to more than make up in footing what she lost in pointing, and as the ability of a sailing Vessel is determined by her pwer to make head way against an adverse wind, she is the better boat by that test. The early morning was full of prom ise for a glorious, wholesail breeze. The heart of the sea faring folk who went down to the water front was gladdened by a stiff 20-knot blast straigha out of the northeast: butbefore the fleet had reached the open, the breeze began to moderate So clear was the atmosphere that every foot of the course was visible -to the thousands who were watching on the Jersey hills from Navesink High lands to Long Branch and Asbury Park. From the shore every move ment of the race was followed by the sharps with glasses, and the result was known there long before it was flashed by wire from the cable boats. The Columbia had all the better of the start, She bounded across the line like a race horse, with mainsail, club topsail and staysail 'drawing, spinna ker down to starboard ready for the race before the wind, and ten seconds afterward ber balloon jib broke out like' a cloudburst The Irish boat went over seventeen seconds later with the same rig. The official time at the start was: Columbia 11:21:02; Shamrock 11:21:19. ' The wiley English skipper luffed up and ran through the yankee's lee for the weather gauge. Captain Barr tried to head this move off by luffing also. This sent both boats off at almost right angles to the course, straight in for the Jersey coast and straight for the mob-of five hundred vessels gathered to the right of the line for the run down. The torpedo boats charged down upon them like a squad of fly ing cavalry to open 'the way for the yachts. Never was there such a scam pering of ships. Bells in the engine rooms jingled fulfNspeed ahead and full speed astern, as some fled and others tried to back out of the tangle. Sev eral serious collisions were narrowly averted; but the fleet was scattering like, a flock of wild ducks after the discharge of a gun. The Shamrock got the best of. the luffing match, blanketing her rival and getting to windward of her. Then when both had squared off on their course and let go their spinnakers, thousands waited and watched. Slowly, very slowly at first, inch by inch, the de fender of the cup drew away despite the Shamrock's repeated and tireless efforts to blanket her. Once 'clear, the v white beauty forged ahead rapidly. 'She had established a comfortable lead, when the breath lightened and hauled more to the north ward Wrinkles began to trickle down the sides of the white; .yacht's balloons and several times V three sails col lapsed. The Shamrock, as on the two previous days, profited by the seemingly light air and -began , to crawl up. But she did ,more. Captain Hogarth took In the Shamrock's spinnaker when the mark was sighted, gybed he Shamrock and trimmed down the balloon jib top sail with great rapidity and with ev ety thing drawing splendidly before the Amricans knew that he was luffing toward the Columbia. Captain Barr, on the Columbia, followed suit, but the Shamrock had passed him well to the Continued on Fourth Page.) PAY OF STATE SOLICITORS.

"Therefore, we must show our grati tude and maintain our position more resolutely than ever. We should pray to God that the great democratic party may win the next presidential election and imperialism fail in its mad attempt to Subjugate us by force of arms. There are some! Americans in the Phil ippines who have joined us, because they disapprove a war which Mr. At kinson calls criminal aggression. When offered a chance to return to their own camp, they declined." , Throughout the proclamation Agui naldo denounces the imperialists," Instead of "the Americans," as in for mer documents. He calls the world to witness that the Filipinos have not broken "the alliance made with the Americans through Admiral Dewey and the United States consuls at Hong Kong, and Singapore." The 'people, on seeing, the American prisoners, cried out: "We do not want war against the United States. We only defend our independence against, the imperialists.

Victory-New Book Setting Out Conflicting Interests of England and United States and Advocating Naval Alliance Between the Latter 'and Germany Attracts , Attention. Excitement Over Gambling Scandal. (Copyright -by Associated Press.) Berlin,; October 7. Public attention has been much more deeply engrossed this week in following the proceedings of the international geographical con gress and the sensational developments of the trial of persons accused of gam- HHnc at Hhe fluK r(r Hnrmlnspn than with thejTransyaal situation, although South Affican affairs are being followed with keen solicitude by the government and political men. There was considerable comment among the delegates to the congress, as well 4s on the part of the public. during the sittings regarding the rela tively unmportant share taken by the United States. While the whole body of delegates numbered some 1,300, those from the United States were fewer than a dpzen, of whom General Gree ley, though representing the United States government, did not present a paper anfi took only an insignificant part in the transactions.. Major H. T. Allen, military attache of the United States embassy, who was also an of ficial delegate, was too busy In making his preparations to return home to de vote himself to the business of the con gress. Mr. Arthur C. Jackson, the ex plorer, and Professor Boas, of New York, did not put in an appearance, while Mr.- Marcus Baker only appeared at the last moment. Professor Davis, of Howard university, was obliged to leave in the very midst of the proceed ings. With the exception of the paper .of Mrs. Zelia Nuttall, which was pre sented in the choicest German, and that of Mr. Poultney Bigelow on "Co lonial Administration," which contain ed some startling assertions, there was no striking American feature through out the sitting. It is largely due to this that the next congress will not meet in Washington, as Professor Bryant, of Philadelphia, proposed. His suggestion was not backed up with any vigor nor by the requisite number of delegates. The Americans, however, participated fully in the social attentions shown the con gress. Aff airs Jjn South Africa are still com mented upon in the press and elsewhere here in the same anti-British spirit. Sympathy with the Boers is almost ev erywhere expressed.The Kruez Zeiturig, which represents the opinions of the court, the army, and the conservatives says: "The sympathies of the German pub lic are altogether on the side of the Boers. Nobody here doubts that they, after yielding much to the lordly de mands of Great Britain, will have noth ing left them but to draw the sword. As is the opinion of Germany, so is the opinion of the world, at least in so far as the world is still anti-British. The victory of Great Britain will induce Russia and France to make headway in Asia against her. This is a neces sary outcome of the situation The Boers have only themselves to rely on in a hard fight. The time has irre trievably gone when other countries would have interfered out of sympa thy." The influential Hanover Courier con siders that "Germany's chances will be very poor, if England vanquishes the Boers, as then German southwest Af rica will be lost." ! The sensational trial of the Club der Harmlosen has stirred fashionable and sporting circles to the very depth. A peculiar feature of the case is that some of the witnesses belong to the immedi ate eh tourage of Emperor William. Moreover, officers of garrisons all over the empire and many who belong to the guard regiments are implicated, as well as experts on the correct way of playing baccarat, and men of the high est fashion. There was considerable difficulty in getting the experts to appear. Many important witnesses were absent. Some excused themselves on the ground that they had gone bear hunting in Norway or were about starting for Africa for a year, or had sudden illness. Others, like- Lieutenant von Schrader, commit ted suicide, or, like Count von Stosch and Baron von Neimps, fled to the United States. Wolff, the t founder of the club, has gone to parts unknown. It was proved that he had been convicted of theft and had served a term in prison, al though most of the witnesses asserted that he was a man of excellent de meanor and perfect manners, whence his nickname "Gentleman Wolff." General von Kroecher, father of one of the defendants, the commander of a army corps and an intimate advisor of Emperor William, has refused to ap pear. His son admitted that he had been guilty of fleecing. In well-informed army circles it is asserted , that Emperor William in tends that the trial shall be followed by an extensive weeding out of gam biers and otherwise undesirable offi cers. , Rear Admiral Valois recently pub lished a bood entitled "Seekraf t Seegel tung Seeherrschaft," which is attract ing great attention in political, military and naval circles. It contains a pow erful argument that the United States, as a leading colonial and exporting power, will necessarily become a keen er competitor of England, and that It Is to the; interest of both the United States and Germany to join hands in curtailing Great Britain's sea and co lonial power. The writer strongly ad vises a naval alliance between the United States and Germany on other grounds and considers the possibility of France and Holland Joining the ;UnIt ed state and, Germany In naval and co lonial matters. PHILIPPINE SITUATION. Described by Ex-Consuli WIKlman. Agjrrew!ve Campaign Needed Otl Not the Man for the Situation. New York. October 7. Edwin Wild man, ex-vice consul of the United States at Hong Kongr and who was stationed there when the war in the Philippines was begun, was, a passen ger on the American line steamship St. Louis, which reached her dock from Southampton and Cheerbourg today. Mr. Wild man spoke on conditions in the Philippines and eulogized Admiral Dewey. i "The Philippines," he said, "are well worth the struggle. The country out there is magnificent am, the climate is good. There are seven months of good "weather and then comes the rainy sea son when one an do nothing, but then in every country there Is the bad time of the year. The sooner we get down to governing the islands, the better. They are worth much from a commer cial standpoint. The whole country' is rich and productive. ""General Otis is too old and not ag gressive enough. Hetries to do the whole thing out there and like every other man who tries to do all, he does nothing successfully.. The great need out in the Islands is a young and ag gressive man. "As to the qnestlon or self-government I am led to believe that none of the na tive people are capable of that in the highest sense of the ward. The only way that the natives could govern Is under American supervision. I believe that the flag in the Philippines should never be lowered. We have got to conquer or annihilate. The question Is which will our war do. "I want to say now that at no time was AguinaldoOr any of the Filipinos promised independence. Admiral Dew ey made them no promises. We brought Aguinaldo over to Manila the same as any other man was brought over there to help. At no time was any thin? said about giving them their independ ence. You will notice that in his mani festos Aguinaldo is careful not to say directly that there were promises made. That talk always comes from some of his followers who have some thing to gain by his success." The C. W.' Polvogt Co. have the larg est .lassfoitment df CarpVtis 'and Matting to seledz; from.

Admiral Dewey satd 'to The commit tee that they could not honor Lieut en ekit Brumby too highly. He said it would be a gratification to him to per sonally present the sword to his flag lieutenant.
