SHAMROCK LOSES. Columbia Wina Two of tlio Yacht Races. Thp Second Itace Wa> Sailed In u SUB BrPfZfi mid Itcaulted 111 a Decisive Victory lor ibe American Boat Ll|> to 11 Bitterly l.lsuppolnted. New York, Sept. 30.—Til the closest race ever sailed for tin* America's cup the while flyer Columbia on Satur day beat the British challenger ovet ci course'of 30 nautical miles by ths i arrow margin of ::!• seconds. A« Upton's latest aspirant for cup hon ors must allow the defender 43 sec onds on account of 'Che extra 835 square feet of canvas in her sail area, 4he official record, under the rules, pives her the victory by one miuute and 22 seconds. New York, Oct. 2. —Tuesday's at tempt to sail the seconi. of the series of the international yacht race for •the blue ribbon of the sea proved a dismal failure. Between 20,000 and 25,000 people who were at Sandy Hook in the hope of seeing- n repeti tion of the thrilling sport of last Sat urday witnessed a driting match in stead of a race. At the end of four and a half hours the two yachts had covered less than Siiilf of the course of 30 miles, and as there was no possibility of their fin ishing: within the time limit the regat ta committee declared the race IT. "When the gun was nred announcing this decision the challenger was about half a mile ahead of the de •iender and to that extent yesterday's it rial was a victory for Shamrock 11. New York, Oct. 4. —In a glorious ■breeze which heeled the big cup con testants down until their lee rails •were awash in the foaming seas, Herreshoff's white wonder,ihe Colum bia. yesterday beat Watson's British creation over a triangular course of 30 miles by two minutes and 52 sec onds actual time. With the 43 sec onds which the Irish sloop must allow ■the American boat on account of her •larger sail plan, the Columbia won the second race of the series by three minutes 35 seconds. The fastest race ever sailed in a cup contest, it was not only a royal strug gle from a spectacular point of view, tout it was absolutely decisive as to the merits of the two racing ma chines. There is not a yachting sharp who witnessed the race who is not ■firmly convinced that the defender is the abler boat, blow high or blow low, beating, reaching or running, and that Sir Thomas and his Uritish tars are doomed to return home empty handed. Sir Thomas has been wishing for a ■breeze that would bury Shamrock's lee rail and yesterday he had it, just as he had a similar breeze in the con cluding race two years ago, when ■Columbia in a driving finish beat the first. Shamrock over six minutes. The wind was strong and true, blowing around IS knots out of the northwest, and at every point of -ail ng, e'cipt perhaps running before the ' ,d. in which the defender has already taken the measure of the challenger, the Yankee sloop proved •herself a better boat than the Wat son model. From the time she -crossed the starting line, one minute and 34 seconds behind the mug hunt er, until she picked up and passed the •Irish boat, three miles after rounding the second mark, Columbia's pace was tfaster and she behaved better than iher rival. Reaching for the first mark ten miles down the Long Island shore with the wind abaft the beam, she gained 22 seconds. In the closer reach .for the second stake she gained 30 seconds, and in the thresh to wind ward on the leg home she gained ex actly two minutes. Xot perhaps as thrilling as the remarkable contest of last Saturday, yesterday's race was, nevertheless, stirring from start to finish and as a marine spectacle it could hardly have been surpassed. The Yankee victory begin with the start, when the crafty Barr, by a sys tem of maneuvers, cornered his ad rersary. Capt. Sycamore took the ■bait and rushed his boat into position and sent her away almost in the smoke of the gun. Thereupon Capt. Barr, having accomplished his pur pose, tacked about back of the line and held off for more than a minute. Then with a flying start he went over just before the handicap gun was fired. Some of the patriots were dis appointed until the experts explained that there was no windward berth in a reach where the boats could lay their course straight for the mark, and that the position astern, where Jiarr could keep his eye on every move of his rival, was the commanding one. Hie could watch Sycamore like a hawk, knowing that when the gap between them was closed the race was his. For tlie first 15 miles no human eye could tell which ship, if cither, was gaining, so closely were they matched. But. gradually it became apparent that the Columbia was overhauling the challenger. Inch by inch and foot by foot the white boat gained. Both were going at a terrific pace. Sir Thomas l.ipton, although plainly depressed at the result of the race, ■entertained a large party of yachts men and ladies who visited the Erin. "I am disappointed at the result and the only consolation 1 have is that I thave been licked by a good honorable -opponent. I know that the wind was true and that the Columbia won •without a fluke."

SCHLEY COURT OF INQUIRY. IVlaiiy Witnesses Testify Sainpaon-i Bequest to Be llrprekenled by Coun sel Beiuscd. Washington, Sept. 28. —In the Schley court of inquiry yesterday a letter was presented from Bear Ad miral Sampson asking to be allowed to be represented in the court by counsel, but the court refused to grant the request on the ground that "the court does not at this time re gard you as a party to the case." The principal witnesses of the day were Lieut. John Hood, who com manded the dispatch boat Hawk dur ing the Spanish war, and Capt. Mc- Calla, who was in command of the Marblehead. The testimony of both these officers dealt with the delivery of dispatches from Admiral Sampson to Commodore Schley and both relat ed conversations with the latter. ISIDOR RAYNER. Attorney general of Maryland, now chief counsel for Admiral Schley before the court of inquiry. Washington, Sept. 30. —In the Schley court of inquiry Saturday Capt. McCalla, of the Marblehead, concluded his testimony which was 'begun Friday, and the court heard the testimony of Lieut. Commander W. 11. Southerand, who commanded the Kagle during the Spanish war and also that of Lieut. Cassius 11. Barnes. The latter is a cipher expert in the navy department, and his evidence was devoted to showing that the dis patch from Commodore Schley to the navy department of May 28, 189S, sav ing that, he could not, much to his regret, obey the orders of the depart ment. as j'.-inted in the official reports was a correct translation of the mes sage as forwarded from the Harvard at Kingston. Washington, Oct. I.—Rear Admiral Evans, who as captain commanded the battleship lowa during the Santi ago campaign, was a witness before the Schley naval court of inquiry yes terday. His testimony covered the entire period from the time the lowa left the port of Key West on the 20th of May, 1898, until the sth of July, when Admiral Evans testified he had a conversation with Admiral Schley concerning the battle of the 3rd. lie described in detail the principal bat tle off Santiago, and also gave par ticvulars concerning the bombard ment of the Colon on May 31. Other witnesses of the day were Capt. Theodore F. Jewell, who was commander of the cruiser Minneap olis during the Spanish wac and Com mander .lames M. Miller, who was in command of the Collier Merrimac un til that vessel was turned over to Lieut. Ilobson to be sunk in the mouth of the harbor at Santiago. Washington, Oct. 2. —The Schley court of inquiry made good headway yesterday, concluding with Admiral Evan.s and hearing three new wit nesses. Admiral Evans' testimony was along the same general lines as was his statement of Monday. The new witnesses were Capt. Sigsbee, who commanded the St. Paul during the Santiago campaign; -Thomas M. Dienaide, a newspaper correspondent who was on the Texas during the bat tle of July 3, and Chief Yeoman Beck er, who was a clerk to Admiral Samp son during the war. Washington, Oct. 3.—An interesting tun; was given to the Schley court of inquiry yesterday by the introduction of the first witness in Schley's behalf. This was Lieut. J. J. Doyle, who was a watch officer on board the flagship Brooklyn during the war with Spain. The fact that Lieut. Doyle was put on the stand does not mean that the navy department has concluded the presentation of its side of the case*. Mr. Doyle was called by the depart ment, but as it also had been the purpose of Admiral Schley to sum mon him, advantage was taken of his presence on the stand to question him as an original witness for"the appli cant." He was under examination by Mr. Rayner in the interest of Ad miral Schley when the court ad journed for the day. Before undergoing examination at Mr. ltayner's hands Lieut. Doyle, at Capt. Lemly's request, explained his part in the battle of July 3 and his original entry in the ship's log con cerning the famous loop and his alter ation of that entry because he dis covered that his first entry had been erroneous. Washington, Oct. 4.—After Lieut. Doyle, formerly of Commodore Schley's ship, the Brooklyn, had com pleted his testimony before the Schley court of inquiry yesterday, Capt. Dawson, of the marine was called, and was followed by Lieut. Dyson. Capt. Dawson was signal of ficer on board the battleship Indiana during the naval engagement off San tiago and lie gave an account of the behavior of the various ships of the American Heel during that battle. He said the Brooklyn had gone about 2,- 000 yards to the southward before joining in the pursuit of Cervera's ships. Decided Against the Ice Trust. Albany, X. Y., Oct. 2. The court of appeals has decided that the pro ceedings instituted fly Attorney Gcn eral Davies against, the American Ice Co. to determine whether il is an ille gal combination in restraint of trade and is violating the anti-trust law of the state, shall be continued. The decision is a victory for the attorney general and is against, the American Ice Co.; which sought to prevent a continuation of the proceedings on the ground that the Donnelly anti trust law, under which thoy were brought, is unconstitutional. CAMERON COUNTY PRESS, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 10, 1901. HOPES BLASTED. Lon£4ncri Thought Shamrock Would Will Second Knelt anil Wore HltterlJ DUappolnird. London, Oet. 4.—The extent oi Great Britain's disappointment at the defeat of the Shamrock 11. could be thoroughly appreciated only by those who saw the thousands of spectators lining tihe embankment. Almost to a man they were expectant of vic tory. The early editions of the af ternoon newspapers announcing thai it was the Shamrock's weather had keyed up hopes here almost to a pitcl; of certainty, and many people enter tained the idea that the. depression over South African affairs might bn relieved by a victory of the Shamrocll 11. The latter's lead in the early part of the race so strengthened this impression that London threatened a repetition of Mafeking night. The crowds greeted the green lights on the towers and on the launches which paraded the Thames, with de light. But the Columbia's red crept slowly up and motor cars with mega phones dashed up and down the em bankment proclaiming the Columbia's lead. The yachts in the Thames re versed the position of their lights and those 011 the signal towers were changed. The crowds stood mute, awaiting the final messages. Amer ica's cup dinners were advertised a! the embankment hotels and overlook ing the river many fashionable peo ple dined, watching the moving lights until red from all sides was flashed out. "The Columbia wins" was shouted through the hotel corridors and the throngs dispersed. A SYMPATHETIC STRIKE. 'Olograph E.lucnicn In Chicago arc Heady lo Uo Out ll' Telo|>houe Heo !>lo Do Not Yield. Chicago, Oct. 4.—A1l fhe aerial line and repair men connected with the various telegraph and telephone com panies in Chicago, except about half the Western Union's force, have de clared, according to the strikers ol the Chicago Telephone Co., that they will go out on a sympathetic strike unless the telephone company settles with its striking Jinemen. The first step in the plan to tic up the city telephone and telegraph lines was taken Thursday, when 50 linemen of the American District Telegraph Co. Nt the stock yards announced that they will not work until the tele phone strike is adjusted. The telephone linemen declare that every toll line coming into Chicago will be useless within a week, and that if the affiliated unions strike the great majority of the telephone and telegraph lines will be made useless in a short time. Advices from nearly every town of importance in northern Illinois are that the linemen of the Chicago Tele phone Co. arc out and that the tieup of their department is complete. The linemen at Elgin are the latest to quit work. Though satisfied with the wages and hours, they obeyed the general order to a man and are now demanding an increase of 30 cents a day. At .Toilet, Aurora. Bloomington, Oak Park and all (►he north shore towns the men are out. A NEW TOWN. Wentlnzhounn Co. «VIII lluild One a Short Distance ICant of IMttsburg. Pittsburg, Oct. 4. —The Westinpf •house Co. will commence at once the erection of a new town and a mam moth foundry plant at Stewart Sta tion, on the Pennsylvania railroad, a short distance east of this city. The company has secured CSO acres and proposes to concentrate all of its foundries in one plant and build around it, for the 'benefit of the em ployes, a town to be called Trafford Park. The cost of the improvements will reach $5,000,000, and over 3,000 men will be employed in the work. The men will be offered good in ducements to have them purchase homes in the new town. This will he the third town built up by this company, and as in the case of the other two—Wilmerding and East Pittsburg—the object is to centralize the interests of the company, lessen the expense of the transportation and in other ways cheapen the cost of its products. The company has now three foundries, one in Pitts burg-, one in Allegheny and the third in Cleveland. Returned Irom the Arotlo. Halifax, X. S., Oct. 4. —After an existence of two years in the Arctic regions.

From September, lsyi), to September, 1901, they wan dered through Northern Greenland in the hope of making discoveries which would be of benefit to the sci entific world. They have returned with scores of interesting speeiments of minerals and plants. "I am al most certain that Lieut. Peary did not make any valuable mineral dis covery in northern regions," said Dr. Stein. Terribly Fatal It tot*. London, Oct. 4. —"It is estimated," says the Daily Mail's correspondent, "that 24 persons were killed and hun dreds injured during the Hungarian election riots.

Minneapolis, Minn., Oct. 5. —Lars Eriekson, a pioneer trader of the Mille Lacs Indian country, called on Gov. Van Sant for aid yesterday. The settlers on the south shore of Mille Lacs Lake are in great fear of the In dians, who are on homestead land where they have no rights, but are very ugly over the proposed removal to White Karth, and over the small pox quarantine.

A Reply to President Shaf fer's Charges. NEVER ASKED FOR AID. Federation's Financial Assist ance was Not Requested. URGED A GENERAL STRIKE. President of the Federation Mate* that the Amalgamated'* Leader KcqueMt ed Illiu to Order All t'nlon JTlen to Cease Work, Washington. Oct. s.—President (lompcrs, of the American Federation of Labor, publishes in the October issue of the Federationist, the official organ of that body, a vigorous state ment in reply to charges made by Presi.fckjit Shaffer, of the Amalgamat ed association, regarding 1 he attitude of Mr. Gompers and President Mitch ell, of the I uited Mine Workers, dur ing the steel strike. Mr. (iompers says: "Mr. Shaffer says that lie especially relied upon the Federation of Labor for financial assistance. 1 assert that he never asked for any. No request, either written, telegraphed or verbal, was ever received during the entire strike at the office of the American Feder ation of Labor from Mr. Shaffer, or from any other representative of the Amalgamated association asking for financial assistance. Yet I venture to assert that nearly every dollar of financial assistance received at the office of the Amalgamated association came from unions affiliated with the Federation of Labor, and if the fed eration as such did not give a cent it was because it was neither directly nor indirectly asked to do so." Regarding Mr. Shaffer's statement that he arranged a meeting between .1. Pierpont Morgan and Gompers for which he alleges Mr. Morgan gave up his vacation, but Mr. (iompers failed to appear, Mr. Gompers says: "Mr. Shaffer says what is untrue and he knows it." The terms of the agreement se cured by Mr. Shaffer on September 14, and those secured by Gompers, Mitch ell and others, September 4, are print ed in parallel columns, the former enumerating the Canal Dover and Demmler mills among those not in cluded as union mills, and the latter providing for them as union mills. Mr. Gompers says Mr. Shaffer now knows that it is unwise for men at the head of organizations to declare for policies which the rank and file will not approve, and that if such common sense is ignored the men will desert their leader. Mr. Gompers says that what Mr. Shaffer wanted him to do was to have a general union strike in aid of the steel strike. This Mr. Gompers says he could not do. "I felt confident," says Mr. Gompers, "that the executive officers of the trades unions of Amer ica ought not and would not violate their agreements with their employ ers throughout the country. Hence tnere would not and ought not to be a widespread sympathetic strike." Non-compliance with this request, it is asserted, is the basis of the bit ter attacks by Mr. Shaffer. Mr. Gom pers says Mr. Mitchell denied to him that he ever had promised to call out the miners. Mruek a tin slier. Muneie, Ind., Oct. s.—The discovery of a 1,335 barrel oil well at Mt.

Shamrock Crossing Line First, Lost 011 Time Allowance. TAKES DEFEAT LIKE A MAN Sir Tlioninn Liplon Severe Hixu|>|>oliitiii<-iil, but Concede* llnit the Victory of Hie Columbia was Pair and Square. New York. Oct. s.—With victory flag's flouting from her mastheads and the ends of her spreaders in Ihonor of her concluding' triumph in the cup races ot' 1901, the gallant sloop Columbia returned to her anchorage last night under escort of the entire excursion fleet. Yester day she completed her defence of the honored trophy in another stirring race with Shamrock 11. in a leeward and windward race of 30 miles, cross ing the finish line two seconds behind her antagonist, but. winning on the time allowance conceded by Lipton's boat, by 41 seconds. For the second time she has now successfully foiled the attempt of the Irish yacht to wrest from our posses sion the cup that means the yachting supremacy of the world. And plucky Sir Thomas Lipton, standing on the bridge of the Brin, led his guests in three huzzahs for the successful de fender. "She is the better boat," lie said, "and she deserves to be cheered." The series of races just closed will always be memorable as the closest, ever sailed for the cup and Sir Thomas, although defeated, will go home with the satisfaction of know ing- that his yacht is the ablest foreign boat that ever crossed the western ocean. Friday's race, on paper, was the closest of the series, but because of the flukiness of the wind on the beat, home, as a contest of Hie relative merits of the yachts it is not to be compared with the magnificent bat tles of last Saturday and Thursday. At one time Columbia seemed a mile ahead, when a sudden slant of the wind allowed the Shamrock to point nearer the mark and a mile front home the challenger appeared to be leading by fully half a mile. The talent began to feel nervous, but as the yachts approached the finish the Yankee skipper by some miraculous legerdemain shoved his boat into the light air like a phantom ship, and 100 yards from home the two racers were almost on even terms. It was a pretty sight and one seldom wit nessed when they crossed rail to rail, tne white yacht's bowsprit lapping the golden boat's mast. The usual pandemonium that at tends the final Yankee victory In a cup contest followed. Whistles, sirens, bells, bands and cheers united in a grand chorus of jubilation and J. P. Morgan's steam yacht Corsair, added to the din by firing a national salute of 21 guns. After the Columbia had hauled down her sails and set her victory flag the excursion boats crowded alongside to cheer the Yankee sailors and the winning skipper. .Nor did they forget Lipton and his gallant craft. In turn the crowded steamers ran alongside the Shamrock and Krin and the vanquished received almost as much honor as the victor. And thus with felicitations all around, the. twelfth series of races for the cup which the schooner America brought over 50 years ago ended with the best of feeling. While taking his defeat gamely, Sir Thomas Lipton made no attempt to conceal his disappointment when he talked about the race. "I am much disappointed," he said. "I thought within 15 minutes of the finish that we had won. 1 was sure as my life that we had won. When 1 looked around the situation had changed and we had lost. It was a hard blow to be so near winning and then to lose. I should like to have got one race, just bv way of consola tion. It is a very hard thing to be .beaten by a breath —a few beats of the pulse. It has been a severe strain on me. I have worked so hard for many months now and I am glad it is over. Columbia's win to-day was fair and square and honorable." Says Striker* Cut WlrfH. Chicago, Oct. s.—Cutting of tele phone wires by the striking linemen and assaults on non-union workmen by the strikers' pickets are charged in a statement issued by (ieneral Manager Hibbard, of the Chicago Telephone Co., and warrants for the arrest of two strikers on a charge of assault have been sworn out. Ilnmlln Hefunen to Accept. Louisville, Ky., Oct. s.—Harry Ham lin, owner of Lord Derby, has wired Secretary Wilson, of the Kentucky Trotting Horse Breeders' association, that he will not accept Mr. Lawaon'a amended offer of SIO,OOO for the match race between Lord Derby and Boralma. Vot'd to Strike. Fall River, Mass., Oct. —The final preparations for the greatest, indus trial strike that this city has ever ex perienced were made Inst night when the operatives, with the exception of spinners, voted unanimously togo on strike next Monday. Late in the afternoon a conference with no re sults was held between the executive committee of the Manufacturers' as sociation and the textile council's of ficers. The reason for the strike is the declination of the manufacturers to raise wages ."> per cent., in line with the action of Mr. Borden, of the Iron Works mills. 3
