The tmphy won by the America forty-eisht yeniH ago Is still ours, a monument to the supoilprlty of American seaman ship nnd American navai architecture and a standing challenge to the yachts men of all nations. Unbeaten America again tastes the glory of victory. Except for tlio repeated flukes and tlit- unfortunate .Occident to the chnl leng i- on Tuesday, tills series of races hns lu-tr. unmarred by a single Inci dent Thp boats have- had two fair and square- rapes, om- In light airs, and the othi'i In a heavy blow, and Kir Thomas Is ppi-n-i tly sathfi -d that he was beaten by u lu ter boat. Today s race was n glorious test of the rough weather qualities of the two ya Ins The prayer of Sir Thomas for wind wa answered. It whs blowing twenty-live miles an hour at the light ship, enough wind a"d enough sea to moke anv inclng machine stagger. The course, flftepn miles before the wind, somh bv west, carried the yachts stiaiirht down 'he Jersey coast to 1 I pr- nt ff Turing Branch, so that the rare wo- s-iIUot In plain view of tho thou Fa l pii.hpd upon the heights of' 'iesnk and stretched along the h'inrp fro t Sea Ilrlght to Asbury Park, rinth vai-hts tied neros-'i the starting line before the twenty-live knot breeze, wing and wing. Th Shamrock was over a lrinuto and one second before the defender. 'Hie Yankee slowly but nurely, inch by inch, overhauled her nherary When the Columbia had pv.-rt up to within striking distance th Shamrock crowded on a little more canvass and for ten minutes she eom-.' lo hold the American even. Both were going like scareC deers. Columbia Pains, As tho yachts approached the outer mark Mie patriots with high bounding pulses (aw the Columbia was again picking up the enemy. At 12.10 o'clock, ha'f u mile from the mark, she got alongside the challenger. Three min uus later the Columbia was a length In the lead and footing like mad. The yachts swept around the mark, the Columbia 17 seconds ahead. The Col umbia had gained a minute and eigh teen seconds In the fifteen mile run. As they 1-aned away on the starboard tack for the beat home the white ilyor was to windward and about a length ahead With their sheets trimmed llat after they surged Into the high seas, sending the bilne smoking as high as tho spreaders. They careened until their lee rails were awash In the swirl ing, driving waves. Seldom has there been such a smashing tea under tho bows of cup contestants. The water purted twenty feet Into the air. The green boat labored more than tho Van- kee. Once or twice she burled her bowsprit In the seas, wetting her head sails, On every tack of the thresh to windward tho Yankee Increased her lead and at 1.45 she was leading by a qunrter of a mile. Tho rush of the yachts through the jeus on tile final tack was magnifi cent. As the gallant Yankee shot across the finish between the lightship and the committee boat the sklpirs of the fleet almost fornot to open lietr whistles, so absorbed were they In tho Htirring spectacle. Hut they made up f-ir It later. The defeated ehallonger ra-ed across five minutes nnd flfton second later. The much-touted rough weather boat had been beaten over a thirty mile course six minutes nnd eighteen seconds actual time, or with the allownnce she was to concede Col umbia, on account of her longer wnter line, six minutes and thirty-four sec onds. The Shamrock also got a noisy reception as she llnlshcd. Grand Spectacle. A rrrand spectacle followed. Tho victor aftor iowerlnp her sails set tho stars and stripes nt her topmost truck at both ends of her iproador and at the taffrall. Soon the whole Upet blossomed out In American flags nnd nil the ships iu the excursion fleet tnrtied loose their whistles in u mad dening chorus. T-ater the Krln,, which had remained behind for a few mlnw utcs with the Shnmrock, steamed up to the Columbia, tho stars p.nd stripes fluttering from main and mlzzen By Sir Thomas's orders the crow of the Krln lined the rail and gave three good Anglo-Saxon cheers fcr the victors. They were returned with Interest by the proud crew of the Columbia, Lat er Sir Thomns went aboard thp yacht Corsair nnd then.1 soon afterward Mr. Iselln, managing cwner of the Col umbia joined him. There were toafts to victor and vanquished, to America nnd Great Prltaln, to gentlemen nnd ludlcs and all sorts of things, and eo, with felicitations all around, the cup series for USD ended with the best of good feeling. Regret in Ireland. Dublin, Oct. 20. The Irish papers, while expressing regret at tho result of the races for the American cup, show tho greatest admiration for the plucky nnd sportsman-like attempt of Sir Thomas Llpton to win the trophy nnd all admit that the better boat won. New York, Oct. 20. C. Oliver Iselln, managing owner of tho Columbia, was highly pleased at the result of today's race and the series. He said to an Associated Press reporter: "Of course I am delighted at the out come of today's races, for it demon Ktrated thoroughly that In a strong breeze the Columbia is more than a match for the Shamrock. I am glad hat wo had so much wind, for it gave us nn opportunity to dispel the il lusion that the Columbia was not a heavy weather boat. Having sailed on the Columbia all season, I have been able to test her In every kind of weather and her work todav shows that my confldoncp in her ability to successfully defend the America's cup was not mlsplRced. Sir Thomas a True Sportsman. New York, Ort. 20. Sir Thomas Llp ton bore his defeat like the gentleman nnd Fportsmnn that lie Is. "The best won." he said, "and that is as It should he and always has been In the races for the America's cup." At luncheon with friends on his yacht Erin, Sir Thomas said: "My friends, I came over here to lift the America's cup and take It back to England nnd I have failed to do It. I never said that I would do it, nor will ever I say more than I thought I had an equal chance for it.' My rival has never said more thnn that, so there has been no boast ing nn either side. Watever I may have thought In the past does not mat tor now. I am convinced that the Co lumbia Is the better 'boat and she right ly deserves her victory. "I am glad of one thing, and that Is that while I have failed to lift the cup, I have succeeded In proving to the British public that I was right when I said that an English gentleman could come over here with the absolute cer tainty of getting fair play. If ho br haves like a genthman he will ho treated like a gentleman, and In any event he will be accorded perfectly fair nnd sportsmanlike treatment. This has always been my belief. In spite of all assertions to the contrary, and I think I have convinced the world that I am right in this belief. "My opponent!) have treated me not only fairly, but generously." "I desire to add," continued Sir Thomas, "that T mean to challenge again It I can arrange matters so ai to make it possible. At this time I cannot uo into details, but I'll try It aain some day. I have long regarded Mr. Heireshoff as the greatest designer of yachts In the woild, and the future possession of the America's cup de pends solely upon the ability of Eng lish designers to excel him. I'll get It if I can find the man to build the boat." U. SAM0AN SITUATION. Trouble Brewing All Around Rep resentatives of the Powers Regard Each Other with Suspicion. San Francisco, Oct. 20.

INGHAM AND HEWITT ARE FOUND GUILTY CASE RESULTING FROM LANCAS TER COUNTERFEITING PLOT. Jury Returns Verdict After Two Days of Dollboratlon The Bnll of De fendants Is Increased from $80,000 to $40,00 Counsel Shields, for Defendants, Makes an Appeal for a New Trial. Philadelphia, Oct. 20. Ellery P. Ing ham, ex-United States district attor ney, and Harvey K. Newltt, his law partner and 'former assistant district attorney, were today found guilty of conspiracy and bribery in connection with the revenue stamp counterfeiting plot headed by Willlnm M. Jacobs und William L. Kendlg, the Lancaster ci gar manufacturers. The case wua given to the jury at 3 o'clock Wed nesday afternoon, the verdict was re turned ut -I o'clock this afternoon. When tho jury retired after Judge McPherson's charge they stood eight to four for conviction, but nftor tho thhd ballot one of the four who stood out for acquittal joined the majoilty and from that time until an agree ment was reached three of the Jury in sisted that a verdict of not guilty be rendered. These three finally reversed their opinion this afternoon after tho jury came into court and asked for ln stiuctlons regarding certain mooted questions. On two previous occasions tho Juty announced that they were unable to agree, but each time they were sent back by Judge McPheison, who insist ed that they endeavor to reach a ver dict. This afternoon the jurymen sent a message to the judge asking these questions: "Is a secret service opera tive nn officer of the government?" "Would the payment of money to Operative McManus by Mr. Newltt constitute a bribe?" "Was the employ ment of McManus in the capacity of a private detective in the nature of a bribery?" "Is it piobablo that men of Ingham and Newitt'standlng would at tempt to bribe?" After receiving thp message Judge McPherson sent for the jury and an swered the question. He said that the ! counts in the Indictment which I charged bribery of a government ofll- I cer had been withdrawn. McManus, I he said, is an employe of the govern ment in the meaning of that section of the revised statutes under which the Indictment was drawn. If the money j was paid to aicaianus tor iniormauon , concerning the government, his honor i announced, It constituted a bribe. IC ! McManus was employed In good faith t as a private detective there was no ' bribery. In answer to the last ques- tion Judge McPherson said the matter of probability should be discussed by the Jury, as It had no part In the evi dence. The Jury then retired and a few minutes later rendered their ver dict with a recommendation of mercy. The trial covered a period of eleven days and owing to the prominence of the defendants atti acted, widespread attention. Mr. Ingham Is at present special counsel for the government nnd rep resented the United States In famous hat trimming cases tried In the United States court here The bail of the defendants was in creased from Ko.000 to $10,000 and was furnishpd by Alexander Balfour, a pa per manufacturer of this city, and H.
