Xew York (Special). In a splendid sa to 15 knot breeze, over a windward mnd leeward course of 30 miles, the Re liance beat Shamrock III in command ing style by exactly 9 minutes actual time, or 7 minutes and 3 seconds after deducting the 1 minute and 57 seconds wfiich the defender concedes to Sir Thomas Lipton's third challenger on ac count f her larger sailing plan as at present measured. P.y a strange coin vidence, the first victory in the cup scries f 1903 occurred on the fifty-second an r.ivcrsary of the day on which the old schooner America captured it in her fa- rxut race around the Isle of Wight. The Reliance beat the British boat 3 ! minutes and 24 seconds in the thresh to I windward and 5 minutes and j6 seconds j in the run down the wind. The honors of the start were captured lij the American skipper. Captain VVringe timed his approach to the line with the 1 Shamrock badly, and in an effort to keep J off ontil the gun boomed he almost lost lis bowsprit as he luffed up to cross, larr, as usual, went over in the wind--ward berth, four seconds behind his ivral Both were close hauled on the starboard tack. It was a magnificent ?ght as they plunged seaward in the 12 not breeze, pounding fountains of spray from their hows and leaning to it until the water sw irled and bubbled along their lee rails. The crews were piled up along the water side to hold the great racing machines up. A snappy southwest wind was blowing when, a few minutes after to o'clock, Shamrock III, followed by Reliance, reached Sandy Hook lightship. The two racers whirled in big circles about the Sine awaiting the signal to go until 10.30, when the regatta committee's steamer signalled that the starting line would be shifted and the races postponed until later in the day. The change was necessary because a windward course southwest would have landed the racers on the beach off Long Branch. Headed by the Navigator and escorted 5?y the excursionists, the cup yachts went trailing off to the eastward for about five miles. Then, at II. 10, a starting line was established between the Navigator and the Unique, and the committee tug signalled a course 15 miles to windward and return. The preparatory signal was fired at 31.30 and the warning gun at 11.40. The wind was increasing in weight. Reliance leading the way and Shamrock IJ1 hanging to her Ice quarter, the two racers slipped by under the stern of the Navigator, across the line, took a whirl around the Unique at the further end of it and Shamrock HI, now taking the Jrad. ran closehaulcd along the lec side C'f the starting line. At the dash of the Navigator's gun at 11.45 both luffed across the line. Shamrock III had al most reached the end of it and luffed out hy the Navigator's bow with her head pails lifting. Reliance was four seconds behind her on the windward quarter. Tie official starting time was: Shamrock III 11.45. 17 Reliance 11.45.21 During all of the 15-mile run, which the yachts covered at a 12-knot clip, Re liance steadily and persistently crawled away from the now hopelessly beaten challenger. The smoke of the scurrying reet almost hid them from the shore as Keliance swept across the line and into a Jong line of the faster boats, which had rotten there in time to see the finish and to acknowledge her victory. Eight min utes and 56 seconds later the plucky challenger followed her across the line and received the salute of the entire fleet. 1 he summary, official: Start. Turn. Flntih. Time.

Death Knell TolleJ From Ihi Tower ol tbt Church la Historic Hallleld Born and BreJ in Political Atmosphere, Salisbury Wis a Leading Flgura lo English Politics Over Fifty Yetri. London (By Cable). Lord Salisbury died peacefully at 9.05 o'clock Satur day night. During the preceding 48 hours the end was seen to be inevitable, the great frame of England's ex-Premier being sustained only by the constant use of ox'ygen. Even this failed of effect as the evening advanced and the sufferer remained unconscious. Soon after the shadow had crept up from the valley and enshrouded the dull red walls of Hatfield house the distin guished statesman, making the last effort of his life, turned slightly to ward his favorite daughter. Lady Gwendoline Cecil, who was kneeling beside him, and then quietly breathed his last. Lord Edward Cecil had been warned early in the afternoon by telegraph that the end was near. All the other members of the family had gathered at the bedside. Dr. Douglas Powell, who had attended Lord Salisbury, was notified by telegraph in the morning that it was useless for him to come, and he was therefore absent at the end. The village of Hatfield, which still retains many features of the feudal period, was filled with anxious resi dents awaiting the news of Lord Salis bury's demise. The great Hatfield house, hidden behind a screen of pine trees, was lighted at every window and gave no sign of the approaching fa tality. Groups of watchers clustered under the Elizabethan arches of the lodge gates anxiously questioning each latest passer from the house. Finally the news came when a hat less servant dashed down the graveled roadway, saying, as he passed, "He has gone," and then disappeared in the church. Soon afterward the bell from the tower above tolled slowly, and the villagers at the street corners uncover ed in acknowledgment of the pass ing of their neighbor and friend, Eng land's great statesman. Viscount Cranborne, who now as sumes the title of Marquis of Salis bury, immediately notified King Ed ward and Queen' Alexandra, the Prince and Princess of Wales and others, in cluding Lord Edward Cecil, the sol dier son of Lord Salisbury, who is now in Egynt, and who was the only child of the Marquis absent from the death bed. Soon messages of condolence be gan coming in, and the little telegraph office at Hatfield was swamped with un precedented business. The elevation of Lord Cranborne to the House of Lords creates a vacancy in the House of Commons from the Rochester district and probably will cause the selection of a new Under Secretary for Foreign Affairs. The ex Premier, though retired from political life, was an important figure in many public ways. He was a warden of the Cinque Ports, high steward of West minster and chancellor of Oxford Uni versity. His death places an Order of Knighthood of the Garter at the disposal of King Edward. It is understood that Lord Salis bury recently expressed a wish to be buried beside his wife at Hatfield. A proposal will undoubtedly be made to bury him in Westminster Abbey, but this will be declined by the relatives in accordance with his wishes. BIO PIANO COMBINE.

Mort Hop:lul lor a Canal. Dr. Thomas Hcrran, the charge d'affaires at Washington for Colom bia, has received several additional dis patches for Bogota confirming the re port that the Colombian Congress had under consideration a new proposition for a Panama Canal Treaty with the United States. These dispatches were forwarded by Dr. Hcrran to Acting Secretary of State Alvey A. Adec, who refused, for the present, to make pub lic their text. According to the dispatches the Co lombian Congress probably will em power President Marroquin to negoti ate a new treaty with this country along certain lines laid down by Congress. Exactly what these lines may be is not stated in the dispatches, the last of which is dated Bogota, August 12. A committee of three has been appointed by the Senate to draft the canal reso lutions, which will have to be reconcil able to the Colombian Constitution and also as near as possible to what it is believed will be agreeable to the United States. The names of the three senators appointed on this com mittee are not stated in cither of the three dispatches received by Dr. Hcr ran, but he believes they were selected because of known views favorable to the construction of the canal across the Isthmus of Panama. Both the officials of the State De partment and Dr. Hcrran feel much more optimistic than they did a few days ago, when the first news of the defeat of the treaty in the Colombian Senate was received here. There is now a renewed inclination to hope that Colombia i now taking means to get around her constitution in some man ner not yet clear to the authorities here. Acting Secretary Adec received a communication from the president of the cable company running between New York and Colombia, which ex plained that delay in getting word from Bogota was not due to any fault of the cable company, but to the delay in overland transportation from the point where the cable lands in Colom bia to Bogota. He said it takes from five to fifteen days to get a message from the landing station of the cable to Bogota, but that the Colombian government had entered into an agree ment to repair the telegraph lines be tween the two points immediately. tils Report l.eakt Out The premature publication in a San Antonio paper of the annual report of Brig. Gen. Frederick D. Grant, com manding the Military Department o: Texas, has been called to the attention of the officials of the War Department and General Grant has been requested to explain whether or not he gave the document to the press, contrary to orders. Annual reports made by command ing generals of the several military de partments are made direct to the Sec retary of War and arc not supposed to be given out for publication until so ordered by him. Often these re ports contain information or recom mendations of a somewhat confidential nature, and often some of the recom mendations contained in them arc used by the Licutcnant-Gcncral of the Army in his annual report to the Secretary of War. Strict orders were issued by the War Department about a year ago that 110 officer of the army should make public his annual report. It is believ ed at the department that General Grant's report was given out through a misunderstanding which will be sat isfactorily explained. Jaii Tablett Returned.

Practice ol Scientific Men Not lo Makt Pub lic Results ol Work Until Certain Etptrl mcnli Have lor Tbelr Object the Develop ment of a Machine lor War Purposes Pub lic Misapprehensions. Washington, D. C. (Special). Pro fessor Langlcy, secretary of the Smith sonian Institution, whose experiments down the Potomac river with the aero drome, or flying machine devised by him, have attracted wide public inter est, in order to correct certain public misapprehensions, issued the following statement: "Smithsonian Institution, Aug. 19. "To the Press: "The present experiments being made in mechanical f.ig'it have been carried on partly with funds provided by the board of ordnance and fortifica tions and partly from private sources and from a special endowment of the Smithsonian Institution. The experi ments arc carried on with the approval of the board of regents of the Smith sonian Institution. " The public's interest in them may lead to an unfounded expectation as to their immediate results, without an ex planation which is here briefly given. "These trials, with some already con ducted with steam driven flying ma chines, arc believed to be the first in the history of invention where bodies far heavier than the air itself have been sustained in the air for more than a few seconds by purely mechanical means. In my previous trials success has only been reached after initial fail ures, which alone have taught the way to it. and I know no reason why pros pective trials should be an exception. "It is possible, rather than probable, that it may be otherise now, but, judg ing them from the light of past experi ence, it is to be regretted that the en forced publicity which has been given to these initial experiments, which arc essentially experiments and nothing else, may lead to quite unfounded expecta tions. "It is the practice of all scientific men, indeed of all prrdent men. not to make public the results of their work till these are certain. This consideration, and not any desire to withhold from the public matters in which the public is in terested, has dictated the policy thus far pursued here. "The fullest publicity consistent with the national interest (since these recent experiments have for their object the de velopment of a machine for war pur poses ) will be given to this work when it reaches a stage which warrants pub lication."
