When both engines were de stroyed Captain Nesbltt exhibited flags of truoe, but the Boers continued their firing for another quarter of an hour.

Arraignment of the Whole Artillery Uranrh of (he Service. WASHINGTON, Oct. 14. The annual report of Major General Wesley Mer rltt, commanding the department of the East, headquarters Governor's Island, New Tork, was made public at the United States war department. The report le a strong arraignment of the whole situation in the artillery branch of the service, being particularly direct ed against the ordnance bureau and Incidentally the quartermaster's de partment, the latter for failure to fur nlsh what General Merrltt considers proper quarters at artillery posts. "Our cavalry and Infantry today are organized," he saya, "on a modern basis, are splendidly officered and equipped, and with regular supplies of food, clothing and ammunition, con tain themselves the elements of com plete efficiency. This Is not true of the artillery. The officers are well edu cated and zealous, but their efforts are cramped y an Imperfect organization and responsibility for' the efficiency or inefficiency of their arm lies, not as It should, with themselves, but very large ly In other quarters. Either through defects of law or their own inefficien cy, the supply department upon which the artillery are wholly dependent have frequently failed to loyally and ener getically serve its Interests. The fact that the engineer department, working under the same laws has under its pres ent chief elven the artillery no cause for complaint, would seem to indicate that something Is wrong besides the law."

RACE WON BYCOLUMBK First of the Yacht Series Foi the Americas Cup. Tha American Vessel Crossed the Finish ing Line Ten Minutes and Klght Sec amis Ahead of tho Shamrock It Whs Magnificent Knee, Skillfully Sullc.l and Decidedly Wou, NEW TORK, Oct. 17. In a glorious wholesale breeze, over a windward and leeward course of 30 miles the Yankee defender, Columbia, scored against the Shamrock the first race of the 1899 series for the America's cup. The Columbia bounded across the fin ish line fully a mile and a half ahead of the challenger, defeating her by 10 minutes and 14 seconds, actual time, or 10 minutes and eight seconds cor rected time, after allowing the six sec- CAPTAIN BARR. onds handicap, which the Columbia must concede to the challenger on ac count of her longer water line. It was a magnificent race, skilfully sailed and decisively won. Opinion as to the merits of the two boats had been somewhat divided as a result of the flukes during the past two weeks, but no nautical sharp expected that the Shamrock would be so overwhelmingly vanquished as she was. The Yankee out-generaled her at the start and gained 22 seconds In the run home before the wind. No excuse can be offered for the Shamrock's defeat. There was a good, strong 10 to 12 knot breeze and it held throughout the race true as the needle to the pole. The regatta committee, on the result of the showing made by the defender, are convinced that the cup Is safe. Blow high, blow low, Columbia It is believed by her manager, Mr. Iselln, can take the measure of her rival. Sir Thomas Llpton confessed after the race that he had been fairly and squarely beaten. He had no apologies to make, saying that lie would die game and race the series. The race was a magnificent duel and made up for the repeated disappoint ments the sightseers have suffered. It was anything but a comfortable day on the water. A wet, grey veil of vapor hung over the sea. The pros pect was not very aiming. Still the list wreaths were carried along by the 10 knot breeze from the east and the old shellbacks said there was more wind where that came from. But the excursionists who went down the bay were not very hopeful until they got outside. The low, leaden clouds over head shut out the sky. The wall of vapor blotted out the horizon. The mist made everythlng-look ghost-like and In distinct. The only color in the dull scene was furnished by the ensigns and the flags which adorned the excursion fleet and the dash of red from the big hulk of the lightship. Outside the wind was fresher and whipped some foam out of the waves. Both yachts were towed out from the anchorages and raised mainsails before casting off. The wind kept freshening all the way out to the lightship and the seas spit more froth. No large assemblage was on hand to witness the start. A few side-wheelers, the regular fleet of ccean-golng tugs and a score or two of steam yachts were about all. Many more, however, got out In time to see the finish. There was a soul-stirring scene as the Columbia approached the finish with her bulging balloons drawing. The excursion boats had gathered there and as she swept across the finish line steam whistles shrieked, the sirens CAPTAIN HOGARTH. walled, the Corsair and several other yachts fired salutes and the crowds on the side-wheelers cheered. The Corsair hauled down her private sig nals and set old glory at each mast head and gaff and taff rail. The crew of the Columbia gathered aft and hur- I raheu. After the Columbia had lowered her headsails and taken the tow line from her tender, the crowd waited oven 10 minutes until the Shamroek had crossed and the fleet had given her a sten torian expression of good will. Then the steamers Tampered after the Col umbia crowding about her and cheer ing her again and again, while Un hands played patriotic airs. They es corted her nil the way to her anchor age Inside the Hook. The official summary Is: The elapsed time of the Columbia from the outer mark to the finish was 2 hours 6 minu tes 40 eeconds: the Shamrock's. 2 hours 7 minutes 2 seconds: ahowing that in the fifteen mile run before the wind the Columbia had gained 22 seconds. Thus the Columbia wins by ten min utes 14 seconds, actual, and ten minu tes eight seconds, corrected time. DEFENSIVE EVIDENCE. A Noted Cane of Alleged Conspiracy and Bribing lining Tried. PHILADELPHIA, Oct 13. In the trial of ex-United States District At torney Ellery P. Ingham and his law partner and former assistant, Harvey K. Newltt, on the charge of conspiracy and bribing a secret service operative, the government rested Its case. Former Judge Gordon was the first witness for the defense. He testified as to the reputation of the defendants and said he had never heard anything derogatory to them. A number of witnesses were called to testify to the good character of the defendants. Those included judges of the superior court, county and local courts, lawyers, clergymen and busi ness from this and other cities. The most prominent perhaps was former Governor Beaver. The defense had at tached great importance to the testi mony of John Lynch, who was a clerk In the United States district attorney's office when Mr. Ingham was the incum bent. It was expected that this witness would refute much of Secret Service Operative McManus' testimony and tell something of the Richards pension waiver, which the defense hinted had been forged at McManu8N instigation. The court, however, ruled out all tes timony relating to this, but admitted the papers as evidence. Shortly before court adjourned for the day Mr. Ingham was placed on the stand, and after giving a brief sketch of his career told of his first meeting with William L. Kendlng, the confessed counterfeiter, and William M. Jacobs, the leader of the conspiracy, who mis represented their case to him. He said: Kendig told him that he and Jacobs were the victims of a conspiracy and they were anxious to know if private individuals could seize their plant for debt. Ingham was etlll on the stand when court adjourned. PITTSBURG WANTS IT. That City Ilaa a Chance to Land the Neat National Republican Convention. CHICAGO, Oct. 14. Senator Marcus A.

Bradstreefs says: Trade activity is widespread, all mea sures of volume and value testifying to prevailing prosperous conditions. Rail way earnings, bank clearings, returns and quotations of staple prices are all encouraging, pointing as they do to a maximum volume of business for this period of the year. Crop returns for October bear out earlier impressions of shortened yields of most leading agri cultural products. Expectation of more moderate yields of lealing cereals, however, Is not confined to this coun try. The world's wheat crop will ad mittedly be smaller, and rye, barley and oats yield are not expected to be so large as a year ago. The higher range of prices of all staples and particularly of agricultural products, will furnish a profitable balance to producers. Tne advan e in the price of cotton has beea a notable one and the effects upon gen eral Southern trade and industry are particular)- beneficial, as this section alone has appeared to lag somewhat be hind the procession of prosperity. War rumors and realizing of speculative profits have furnished additionally de pressing features in this respect, but it Is to be noted that in the manufac turing branch of the trade strength is well nigh universal. Business failures in the United States numbered 164, as compared with 146 last week, 233 In this week a year ago, 19$ in 1897, 279 in 1S96 and 2S9 in 1S95. Death of Cnplnln John Laflerty.
