The wish Lady Hussoll expressed On that occasion is doomed never to 1 renliied. Tlie mug which the old ac-hnnti-Y America won no comtnnndiiiisly nmiinst A Conors oer the course nr.mtid the UIp If Wight in 1851 and brought bark icross the upas will remain hero at least i neither year a deflau.ee to the world, 'his fact whi proved yesterday, when, in glorious, whole nail breeze over a wind ward and leeward course of 30 miles, the (Yankee defender Columbia arored against tlie (Shamrock the Brut race of the ISiM) Rerlex for the trophy. She hounded neross th finish line fully a mile and n half had of the challenger, defeating her by 10 minutes ntid 14 seconds nctuul Jimp, or 10 minutes and 8 seconds cor rected time, after allowing the six sec onds handicap which the Columbia must Concede to the challenger ou account of lier longer water line. It was a decisive tautest, a magnificent nice, magnificently ailed and magnificently won. Opinion M to the merits of the two boats had been somewhat divided as a result of the flukes during the past two weeks. Al though the preponderance of expert opin ion never wavered in Its loyalty to the wonderful speed and ability of the white flier, no nautical sharp expected t lint the Shamrock woull be so overwhelmingly vanquished as she was In yesterday's roy al struggle. The Yankee boat outgi ner nled her nt the start, beat her hopelessly in windward work to the outer mark and gained 22 seconds in the run home before the wind. The Knglish hopes were dash ed to the ground. No excuses can be of fered. There was a good, strong 10 to 1 knot browse, and it held throughout the race true aa the needle to the pole. It is undoubtedly a bitter blow because the C. OLIVER ISELIN. English hopes of lifting the cup have never been higher since the Thistle met the Volunteer, in 1S.S7. Like the Sham rock, she, too, was decisively defeated iu the first hour's sailing. The regatta com mittee, as a result of the showing made by the defender, are convinced that the cup is safe. Blow high, blow low, Colum bia, it is believed by her muunger, Mr. Isclin, can take the measure of her rival. Sir Thomas, like the true sportsman that he is, confessed after the race that he had been fairly ana squarely beaten. He had no apologies to make, saying that he would die fcauie and race the series. SHAMROCK DISABLED. Colamula Take the Second Knee Good Time, In NEW YOUK, Oct. 18. The topmast of the cup challenger Shamrock was cur ried away 25 minutes after tlie big single ticker had crossed the starting line yes tcrday, and her enormous clubsail, with its 3,000 feet of canvas, came rattling down on the deck, leaving her a hopeless crippla. No amount of pluck or courage could face auch a catastrophe, and Cup- tain Hogarth immediately abandoned the raco, towing back to the anchorage after he had cleared away the wreckage. The Columbia continued over the eoursi alone, placing to her credit tlie second of the races for the America's cup. The acccidcnt to the Shamrock ruined tlie race and caused the keenest regret among the yachtsmen ami the thousands of sightseers who were on hand to witness what had promised to be a glorious duel. it is unfortunate that the defender knouia nave heen tue iicnchctury of uu accident, as there is little glory in beat ing a cripple, but the rule is ironclad. If crippled herore the start, time for repairs is allowed, but once over the hue if any thing carries away the sufferer must make such repairs ns he can or if ren dered hors do combat, as the Shamrock was, he must take the consequences. There is good sense and logic behind the rule. The races are a test of construction s well as design and seamanship. Doubtless it Mr. Iseliu could have had his choice in tlie matter he would gener ously have declined to continue iu view of the crippled condition of his rival, but the rule gave him no alternative. 'J he wire backstay of the topmast, which helps to support the slender, sky scraping spars, gave way, and, this sup port removed, her Oregon pine topmast, as big us a telegraph pole, 00 feet long ttnd 14 inches iu diameter, snapped off like a match just above the hounds. This mast was not only supporting the pres sure of the 15 knot breeze against her big kite, but was nlso sustaining the crush ing weight of the sail itself and the two club topsHil yards, each 40 feet long. Later iu the afternoon the Shamrock was towed up to the Erie basin, in the upper hay. A new topmast will be sent up to day, and she will be remeasured. She will probably be taken out for a spin to try her new stick, and tue third raco of the series will be sailed tomorrow. This raco will again be over a windward and leeward course, and if the Columbia wins the series will have been completed with out giving the Shamrock an opportunity to test her merits in her favorite point of sailing over a triangulur course, Tbe Columbia wade A flue race of it, uciiiiy holding on to nor oiui topsail throughout and sotting her balloon jib In final reach for home. Her time was little short of marvelous. She covered the course in ,'t hours and 117 minutes; the bent ten miles to windward in 1 hour, .'ill minutes ami 11 second ; the reach to the second murk In ."It minutes and Till sec onds, and the Inst leg in 1 hour, .'1 min titfs and fio seconds. As she crossed the finish line she let go her hendsails. and one of the Peer island sailors treated the spi-ctators to nn exhibition of daring ns lie climbed out over the peak halyard HO feet in the air to loose the club topsail. llorv I.lptAit Took Hefcnt. NKW YOUK, Oct. 1".-Sir Thomas I.ipton took his defcut with the spirit of a true sportsman. "It was a fair and sin.sio rnce," snid he to a press repre- Silt THOMAS LITTON. sentative, who saw him 011 board the Kiin. "We were beaten fairly. No two boats ever sailed a better race, mid they were equally widl handled as far as I ciiuld see. speaking 01 tlie l oninii.iii. Sir Thomas said: "She is a fine, fast boat, and she was splendidly sailed. Wo gave her three rousing cheers, and her people responded right heartily. Mr. Isc lin ami those associated with him on board are honorable gentlemen,' and 1 v i-h to say that it is a pleasure to sail against such competitors." Asked if ho wished to say something about the Sham rock, Sir Thomas said: "My boat was well sailed, and the sails were well han dled. I have no complaints to make at iil. As I snid before, it wos n square race, and we were fairly beuten." Will Xot Follow the Ainlinlnnce. SAllATOtiA, Oct. IK.

Senator Jones, chairman of the Democratic National Committee re turned to Washington last week, entirely restored to health. Since Ins arrival he has familiarized himself with the political outlook and says that the situation in Kentucky, while some what involved, is not serious ami that he is confident (toe'.iel will win. Ex- Senalor r.lackburn, who was in Wash ington several days last week, says he . never was more certain of anything in his hfe than that Goebcl will be the I next Governor of Kentucky. Senator ones says that all the information he has had from Ohio has been decidedly favorable to Democratic success in the State and gave this plain talk for the benefit of the kickers in the party: I consider it the duty of Democrats everywhere to stand by the nominees of the party and not to indulge in factional fights. The principles which the candidates represent are far more important than any squabbles among the local politicians, and the defeat of the standard-bearers in this campaign will have a harmful influence in stop ping the furtherancj of national is sues." a Speaking of the proposed removal of headquarters of the National Com mittee from Chicago to Washington, Senator Jones said it was a matter that would be left largely to the judg ment 01 Vice Chairman Johnson, who has had charge of the committee affairs for some months. Of the gen eral outlook Senator Jones said; ''Na tionly the Democratic party is in the best of shape, e have the best of it on all the issues. We are opposed to trusts, and we shall put ourselves on lecore of being against them. The anti-expansion sentiment is growing every day, ami the people know that the Democratic parly is consistent in its opposition to imperalism. I can only reallirm ihe position which was taken before I went away. I cannot see how a. man can believe in the Declaration of independence, and at the same time clamor for the subju gation of a people who are fighting for ireedom. The war in the Philip pines is wrong in pi indole and will prove costly in its prosecution. Silver will not be overshadowed by the other issues before the public. It is as vital as ever, and the arguments in its favor have lost none of their force simply because there are other questions also to be considered." Senetor Jones will go to Arkansas in a few days, to remain until Congress meets. Wall street operators always know that when a Republican Administia tion is in power they can count upon assistance whenever their manipula tions create a stringency in the money market. Consequently they never hesitate to create a stringency if there by they can secure a profit. It is the old, old story and nobody was sur prised at the official announcement, made last week, that the U. S. Treas ury had once more lent its aid to the money sharpeis of Wall Street by de ciding to anticipate the payment of the interest upon the entire public debt for the remainder of the fiscal ye?r ending June 30th, 1900. The iilnns nf th administration in the Philippines have not been entirely successful, because the condition of the roads, which have been fully set forth since the abolishment of the press censorship, have make the in tended military movements during the past week comparative failures, al though the men have been through hardships they are not likely to forget. Although Otis tried to carry out the orders, which were expected to bring results to justify Boss Hannas claim that the war will soon be over; insin uations are being thrown out m Ad ministration circles about his having been too precipitate in trying to move troops with artilery and supply trains before the roads were in better con dition, Otis hasn't any admirers to spare outside of the War Department but there is a general disposition to object to his being made a scrapegoat because of his inability, from natural causes, to carry out orders which nev er would have been issued except for Hanna s report that something must be done to arouse some administra tion enthusiasm in Ohio. The war between Great Britain and the Transvaal Republic ' seems likely to result in giving the commander of the South Atlantic Squadron a promi nence that was not thought ot when Admiral Schley was assigned to that position. One of the ships of that squadron the Montgomery has al ready been ordered to South African waters to look out for American inter ests, and it is said at the Navy Depart ment that the Chicago, which will be Admiral Schley's flagship, will follow as soon as she can be got ready to to make the trip, which will be in about two weeks. When Schley starts on that trip he will carry the best wishes of thousands, who would like to see him win new honors, and who know that he will do so if the oppor tunity offers.
