bright. Heading seaward the American
boat hnd gained a quarter of a mile
straight to windward of the British craft.
On this new tack Captain Wrings again
gave his boat a good full and It cut through
Reliance's lead at an alarming gait, but
all to no purpose.
Shamrock Hopelessly Oatclasaed.
Pinched Into the wind or with a rap full,
Shamrock was hopelessly outclassed. After
half an hour's turn off Bhore they sailed
toward Long Branch for half an hour.
Captain Barr attempted to make a hitch
off shore but Shamrock would not follow
and he took Reliance around again to keep
the challenger company. Meanwhile Re
liance had steadily gained and when at
8:10 both boats headed off to the mark
six miles away, Reliance was a good mtlo
ahead Rnd gaining. Heeling to a freshening
wind and Jumping Into a rising sea, which
at times threw their long bows high out
of water, to come down with a splash that
sent miniature clouds of foam flying from
under their powerful shoulders, the boats
were making a pretty spectacle of it. They
were gaining In speed with every mile and
Shamrock III was a long mile astern when
Reliance whirled about the mark end low
ering stretches of canvas broke and bellied
out from Its spinnaker pole and over its
lee bow. The homeward stretch had begun.
The boats were timed at the turn as fol
lows: Reliance, 6:40:36; Shamrock, 3:51:45.
Reliance had gained eleven minutes and
three seconds in the thresh to windward,
and, barring accidents, the victory was
hers. .

It was 5:80 before It was found and the

All was a wall of fog. Ten minutes they

through the fog upon the vlilon of th

Oat ot Fug to Victory.
Hardly had they recogrilted the familiar
features of the American craft when, with
Its great balloon Jib topsail fluttering Into
the arms of the nimble numbers of Its
crew out on It bowsprit, the defender tied
acroas the line down through the lane of

HIGHLANDS OF THE NAVE3INK, N.
J., Sept. 3. When Erin had discharged it
passenger tonight and the echo of their
cheers Had died away. Sir Thomaa LUiton
said:
"Two weeks ago I was hopeful, last week
I knew I was doomed to defeat and was
disappointed, but today I am almost glad
In my own defeat this America has been
such a generous victor. I want to again
thunk the American people for their gen
erosity to m In my defeat."
Asked what his plan are. Sir Thomaa
said:
"My -crew Is to return to England on
Tuesday next and I really ought to go
back by that time myself. I will post Out
my engagements In a day or two and then
determine what I shall do. I will attend a
dinner In New York tomorrow night, and
half promised to be Mr. Woodruff' guest
In Brooklyn and go to the New York state
fair, but 'that Is not absolutely certain. It
Is possible I may have to start for borne
next week."
Asked what he would do with the two
Shamrocks, he said: .
"I am to meet some people tomorrow
who desire to buy at least - one of the
boats. - After I have seen them I will de
termine what to do." -
Regarding the defeat of -Shamrock III he
simply said:
"I don't car to discus It any more. The
American boat was the better, that is all."
DeslgnetFlfe refused to talk. Captain
Wrlnge, while agreeable, would not talk
further than to ssy: "We did the best we
could, but the other boat was beat."
Captain. Barr' Opinion.
Captain Barr of Reliance said after the
race:
"Reliance Is a beautiful boat. I had all
kind of weather and won In It. Our ad

material at their command."

KANSAS CITY. Sept. t-James Mooney.
the district leader who Is regarded as re
sponsible for the Novinger coal strike. Is
asserted to be holding out against John
Mitchell to further his alleged aspirations
for the presidency of the United Mine
Workers of America. Mr. Mooney hai, It
Is stated, worked at cross purposes with
President Mitchell ever since the Pittsburg
(Kan.) conference, two months ago, when
Mitchell went so far aa to tell Mooney to
sit down and keep still. In any event, the
situation In the Novinger district promises
to furnish an Interesting fight. Now that
the miners there have violated the agree
ment reached by President Mitchell and
the mine owner at Chicago recently, the
operators say they will make no effort to
conciliate the strikers. The operators, fur
termore, have told the national board of
the United Mine Workers that they ex
pect the board to control Its own men, and
If It falls to do so, they will be unable to
deal with the officers of the national or
ganisation at the Kansas City conference
next week, when It was hoped all differ
ences would be wiped out. Thus the situa
tion has developed Into a ouestlon of au
thority. If the men still refuse to go to
work "after Vice President T. J. Lewis of
Bridgeport, O., who has been sent Into the
field by President Mitchell, talks with the
strikers, the next move, It Is said, may be
the suspension of Mooney and the local
unions Involved.

should make Immediate action necessary.
Sheriff Robertson said today that he
thought there would be very few violations
of law resulting from the miners' strike
and he would not at present ask for troops,
although the mine owners have demanded
protection for their properties.
PROBLEM OF THE RACES
Subject of an Address Delivered by
John Temple Graves at
Chicago.
CHICAGO, Sept. .-Mr. John Tempi
Graves of Georgia delivered an addrea on
"The Problem of the Races" this morning
before the forty-eighth convocation of the
University of Chicago.
He said In part:
The prejudice of race is a pointing of
Providence and the antagonism of peoples
Is the fixed policy by which God peoples
the different portions of the universe and
establishes the individuality of the nations.
The act that brought these people to
gether on this continent was a sin of the
fathers, a sin of greed, an Inauity of trade.
and the sorrow and suffering of the present
is ior me sin o( tne pastr-a sin agi.nst
nature and a sin against God. The -curse
can be lifted only when nature la vin.
dlcated and God Is obeyed. The problem
which came, to ua Is solved when the
negro was resorted to "the bounds ot his
Habitation."
It Is neither imrmsslhle hoc Impracticable
The elements tire willing and the way 1
within reach. This is not a day of impos
sibilitiesThe hund of . the Almighty is
pw.wii 1 1 , 1 1 1 1 1 n wax
It may he that the island of the sea
were placed by Providence in our keeping
to furnish an answer to the problem of the
ttm. The negro Is an accident, an unwil
ling a blameless, but an unwholesome, un
welooroe, helpless, unnssimilable element In
our civilisation. He is not made for our
time. He Is not framed to share in the
duty and destiny which he twrplexes us
with. Let us put him kindly and humanely
out of the way. Let us give lilm a better
chance than he has ever had In history,
and let us have 'lone with htm. Let us
solve his problem frankly, fearlessly, nobly
and speedily. Let ua put it behind us. Let
us purify our politics of the perplexity. Let
us liberate the south to vote and to think
like free men upon the mighty Issues of
the times.

Ncvolkaa, near Fiorina, were butchered

the Inhabitants are In a state of abject
fear and are handicapped by a bigoted
Greek metropolitan who order them to
stay In the village and not to flee, with tha
result that the savage soldiery murder

scale against the insurgents and bodies of
troops are operating in all directions, but
no details have arrived.

"Ach. Oott! I know dot sound!"
It was the rustling of dainty skirts, and
the soft stepping of lightly clad feat, and
the ripple of gentle laughter,, and the half
whispered exchange of greetings, and open
ing of carriage doors, and all the well bred
confusion attends the .assembling to
gether within a few momenta of a large
number of people hecustomod to the way
of polite society. It was the first night
of the season at the Boyd, and the event
was made the occasion for the appearance
t the theater of Just that sort of audience
people are accustomed to see there. It
was a fashionable audience. In spot it
even went so far aa to sacrifice personal
comfort to the rigor of convention In the
matter of dress; but It was mainly out
to be pleased, and during the course of the
evening it gave both ocular and auricular
evidence of the pleasure It felt. Some of
the young person who found their coign
of vantage high In the gallery were even
so Insistent as to demand that certain
things be done over several times after the
more decorous people who sit lower down
In the house had had enough and were
plainly willing to go on with the "next
feature. For "The Prince of Pllsen'' is a
series of features and slides from one to
another with a facile grace 3 that one
hardly notes the modulation, and I still
lost in rapt enjoyment of fhe one while
he is being stirred to new Interest by an
other. It certainly would he Invidious to single
out one of the good things and say It Is
better than the rest. If popular acclaim
be the test, "The American Girl," the eong
of the cities, made the hit last night but
then Mr.- Dandy's new topical eong, "It Is
the Dutch,'" wasn't far behind, nnd, In the
language ot the horseman, the Dandy song
had to stick out Its tongue to lead "The
Tale of a Sea Shell" nt the wire. In point
of lyric beauty. "The Message of tho
Violet." "The Stein Song," "Heidleberg,"
and "Pictures In the Smoke" are rarely sur
passed, and the ensemble pieces are Just
what one looks for in a popular musical
comedy of the day light, full of catchy
turns In the music, and nonsensical In the
words, Arthur Donaldson's splendid bari
tone voice gives the listener much pleasure
when he lets it out, but he has a habit ot
tinging his subdued passage through
closed lips, adding a nasal quality to his
tones that destroy much of their resonance
and melody. Miss Peebles' voice Is not
overly strong, but I sweet and used with
taste. Miss Forrest, and Mr. Taylor ang
their duet most chamlngly, and were de
cidedly well received In It. The finale of
this eong has been, most fittingly rear
ranged. Jesa Dandy Is all that one would ask for
in Hans Warner! and If Trlxle Frigana left
anything undone, that would add to tha ef
fectiveness, of her role of the widow, it
waan't discernible. Nick Long and Idalene
notion do their parts with s dash that Is
refreshing. The piece Is newly staged, and
with brlaht new costumes ana some new
figure In the movement of the competent
chorus, present a continual ucceslon of
delightful picture,' et to pleaaliUf music
The engagement lasts until after Saturday
night.

A committee representing the Nebraaki 1'

Prof. Erwln II. Barbour of tho Vnlverslty
of Nebraska, superintendent of the Ne
braska educational exhibit, regarding nn
educational exhibition by the club women
of the state at the St. Louis fair In con-
Junction with the state exhibit. It hut
been suggested by Mr. Phillip N. Moore
of St. Louis, chairman of the locnl
biennial board for the entertainment ot the
coming biennial of the General Federation
of Womens' clubs, that especial attention
be given by club women of tha purrhnse
states, to such an exhibit.
"Tho Nebraska Federation of Women'
Clubs Is recognised a on of the chief edu
cational agencies of the state," said Mr.
Harbour, "and all that Is necessary Is for
the women to know what la wanted and it
will be forthcoming."
It Is the Idea of the eommisslon to make
It exhibit in all departments, one of ideas
rather than of things, and the educational
exhibition Is calculated to stimulate orig
inality of design; to Increase the scope of
educational work by making a permanent
record of It. In addition to a collection of
the year books of the various I'liihs which
Illustrate the line of work nov being car
ried. Prof. Barbour suggested that original
poem and stories be written and Illus
trated; original music, desljns , for hook
covers and Ilka records of original educa
tional work be prepared. An especial effort
Is being made by the Nebraska Daughters
of the American Revolution to collect data
concerning the state's connection with the
purchase history. They may also be Invited
to contribute to the exhibit. '
The reault of the conference will be re
ported to the coming meeting of the fed
eration to be held at Fremont In October,
when It will be decided what part tho
women will take. Mr. Barbour has agreed
to address the convention on the subject
and nresant his n ccrosttrina which mnv h
carried out In case the plan Is accepted.'
