The outlook for a race 'between ' Shamrock and Columbia to- tnprrow Is none of the beat. Kvcn the lilth- orfo optlmUtlaweather bureau will not promho B breeze. Th revised agreement calls for a start ovary week day from this on , BO thcro Is a possibility of Iho Into of the cup being clocMeJ this -week. Looklns ns line as two fiddles tuncil up to concert pitch , the Columbia and Sham rock lay quietly nt their moorings nil day , with their tenders closy at baud and tugs Btandlng by for a call. During the early morning hours the fog wan oven thicker than on Tuesday , but when the sun came up the- fog cleared away under the Influence of the light breeze from the fioutli-KOUtlmcst. Many fosbound At lantic llnors that had been waiting for Jiours to crosn the bnr passed. Into the liarbor nnd up to quaranllito. Among tlicm wna the Whlta Star liner' Occnnte , which rounded the aouthwcat eplt soon utter 1:30 : p. m. Thn cover -was taken oft Columbia's mainsail judt before noon and It was given a thorough overhauling and drying. The new clubtopsall was also loosened tiud the running soar ItiBpectctl from fore to aft. The new clubtopeall ivos tettod on Tuesday for the flrat time. o ( which Mr. Isclln said : "Yea , It In larger than the other ouo nnd I ara plwsert with It. You sou the boats under eall from the distance ought to be a/blc / to lull that , for I have not seen the sallH of wither boat from a distance. " Thv utmoat conlldenco In the American yacht prevails among Its cruw. Many of thorn have wagered a month's wages on it nnd all ngrio > that It cannot bo beaten. Captain Barr has llttlo or nothing to say , but ho also , the sailors say , has no thought of anything but making Columbia cross the Dnlsh line first In ovcry race. Denlgncr Nat Hurrcschoff eays lees than nny one on board , but bo never lets a chance so by to Improve the yacht In every possi ble way. Sir Thomas Lipton was as cheerful as us ual , full of hope for a breeze tomorrow and full of conlldenco In the Shamrock's ability to lift the cup. "Thero It lo , " said ho with a show of prldo In his voice and gcflturo as bo pointed lo the green beauty , lying peacefully at Its buoy , "nothing has been done to It slnco the last race , and nothing needs to bo done. It Is all ready to start when the gun is Qred. " In response to a question Mr. Iselln said Designer Herreschoff would sail on the Columbia on nil of tbo cup races , as bo had sailed on the trials already held , and would add his experience and knowledge of tbo boat to that of Captain Barr. At the New York Stock exchange today offoro of 8 to 10 on Columbia were not taken. There Is no money backing the Shamrock In the hands of the commission brokers. Money at the New York and other clubs has found no Shamrock takers and the Columbia seems to bo the favorite yet with the American bettors. Tho'bettlng has been even , 10 to 8 and 10 to C In Columbia cir cles , but no money for the opposition Is ready. One bet of 5 to 1 In hundreds was recorded at tbo Hoffman houso.

DAY GIVES VIEWS ON TREATY Tint PuWIo Utterance of Pr id nt of the American Peace Gommiision , JUSTIFIES PAYMENT OF 520,000,000 , Never Contended Hint the United Stntcn Unit a lUnlit io riillllM > l"cn nil a Mutter of Continent. COLUMUUS , 0. , Oct. 11. The first public utterance of Judge William R. Day , who was president ot the American peace com mission , concerning the deliberations ot the commissioners at Paris , la contained In a letter -written to former Congressman D. 1C Watson of this city , nnd read by him at a republican meeting on tbo East Side to night , Judge Day set forth the reasons which , In hla mind , justified the payment of $20- 000,000 for the Philippines , declaring that It was novcr contended by the American commissioners that tbo United States hod a right to the Philippines as a matter of conquest. The letter Is as follows : CINCINNATI , Oct. 4. lS99.-Hon. D. K. Watpon , Columbus , O. : Deir Sir In re ply to your recent Inquiry as to my under standing of the reasons which Induced the agreement on the part of the American commissioners In negotiating the treaty at Paris to Incorporate In the treaty an article which should require the payment by the United States to Spain for the cession of the Philippines the sum ot 320.0W.OOO I beg to say I think the subject Is made quite plain by a reference to the printed protocol of the Joint commission which you will nnd in senate document No. 62 , Fifty-fifth con gress , third session , being the printed vol ume published last winter after the treaty was submitted to the senate. You will dis cover that this subject was nrst brought by the American commissioners to the at tention of the Spanish commissioners In a proposal for an article In the treaty In which Spain should cede to the United States the archipelago known ns the Philip pine Islands , which proposal concluded with the statement : "Tho American commissioners beg fur ther to state that they are prepared to In sert In the treaty a stipulation for the as sumption by the United States of nny ex isting Indebtedness of Spain Incurred for public works and Improvements of a pacific character In the Philippines. " ( Senate document 2 , page 109. ) QiiotcH from IlccorilH , It Is unnecessary to review the long dis cussion which ensued or to restate the grounds upon which the Spanish commis sioners rejected this proposal and declined to cede the Islands to the United States. You will llnd the discussion fully devel oped In tiho record It you see. lit to read It. On November 21 , following , the American commissioners In a joint session of the com mission presented a proposition which the American commissioners regarded ns final , In connection with which It was said that the "proposal presented by the American commissioners in behalf of the government for the cession of ihe Philippines to the United States having been rejected by the Spanish commissioners and the counter pro posal of the latter for the withdrawn ! of the American forces from the islands and the payment of an Indemnity by the United States to Spain having- been rejected by the. American commissioners , deeming It essen tial that the present negotiations , which have already been greatly protracted , should bo brought to an early and definite conclusion , beg now to present a new proposition , embodying the concessions which , for the sake of Immediate peace , their government Is , under the circum stances , willing to tender. The government of the United States Is unable to modify the proposal heretofore made for the ces sion of the entire archipelago of the Phlllp- authorlzea to offer to Spain. In case the cesrlon should be agreed to. the sum of 320.000,000 , to be paid in accordance with the terms to be fixed In the treaty of peace. " ( Senate document C2 , page 210. ) Another concession proposed consisted of an agreement to admit Spanish ships of merchandise for a term of years Into the ports of the Philippine Islands oa , the same terms ns American ships and merchandise. The American commissioners also ex pressed a willingness to Insert a provision for the mutual rellnqulshment of claims of the United States that may have arisen since the beginning of the late. Insurrection In Cuba and prior to the conclusion of the treaty of peace. SimiiUh Accept Term * . On November 2S the Spanish commission ers accepted the terms offered by the rep resentatives of the United States. You will observe that In making this proposal It Is distinctly said that It embodies the con cessions which , for the sake of Immediate peace , the American government was will ing to make. There were doubtless other reasons actuating the commissioners in making this proposal , though I think the chief one is embodied in the statement above written. It was not claimed that the United States had a right to the Philippine Islands as a matter of conquest. The United States has never undertaken , so far as I know , to wrest from a foreign coun try lands or possessions simply by right of conquest. Had wo been disposed to dose so it must bo remembered that we were In possession only of the city , bay and harbor of Manila , under the protocol of August 12 , 183S , providing that the United States should occupy and hold the same pdndlng the conclusion of a treaty of peace , which should determine the control , dis position and government of the Philippines. The capture , after the signing ot the r\Tt\t n/r\1 KlF fnrtnr < * \fAfIltf nnd Ilia ? rtTraa whatever its legal effect may have been , Included no more territory than wo were entitled to hold under the protocol. In addition to the hope of accomplishing im mediate peace , which , I need hardly say , was of great Importance at that time , there was a strong desire to treat with Spain with a degree of magnanimity con sistent with our national honor and pres tige , following our national precedent Ir the treatment of Mexico for the cession of territory to us nt the close of the Mexican war. By the cession , for a consideration , wo obtained an Indisputable tltlo which must be respected by all other nations. It must bo remembered , too , that the Ameri can commissioners had consistently refused to assume any of the outstanding debts or obligations which Spain had undertaken to fasten upon the Philippines. Notwith standing our effort to pay for pacltlc Im provements Spain had not undertaken to substantiate any claim upon that ground Of course , I speak only for myself , and I wrlto these views without opportunity to consult with my fellow commissioners. It my judgment the concession referred to was effectual In bringing about an accept ance of our proposals which are said In the making of tbo treaty. AirreeH wltli Senator Grny. In this conclusion I cordially agree will the following remarks of Senator Gray one of the commissioners , made at the Ohio society dinner In New York February 25 1S03 : "wnen , alter lour or live weens 01 uouut and anxiety It became apparent that these negotiations must be broken off nnd your commissioners return without u treaty at all , and that we would bo relegated to tbo necessity of taking not only the Philip pines , but Cuba and Porto Rico , by the ruthless hand of conquest or by some con cessions that comported with the magnan imity and greatness and character of this country , B in them by the voluntary ces sion of a treaty of peace. And , therefore , wo believed that it was better for this country , strong In the hour of Its victories and the hour of Its triumphs , that It should exhibit to a beaten and prostrate fee the magnanimity of which I speak , and toke from them by voluntary ces-slon nnd pur chase , so to speak , those distant Islands , rather than expose ourselves In the eyes of the world as playing a role of barbaric conquest and by military power tread the path of mediaeval rapine and warfare. The advanced position which the United States has always maintained In Its inter national relations , Its opposition to any thing like harsh or severe treatment of a fallen foe , as well , were cogent reason * which would seem to Justify the payment of tha 120,000,000 as an net dictated from a high sense of national honor as well as sound policy under the circumstances of the case.

Henry Tattlock of Ann Arbor , Mich. , opened the discussion with formal papers. Dean Fair said In part : "There nro 200 passages In Holy Scrlpturo bearing upon ono day In seven as a day of rest and wor ship.
