NEW YORK, Oc t. 18.—'The topmast
.if the ctip challenger Shamrock was
carried away twenty-live minutes
after the big single sticker had crossed
the starting line today and its enor
mous clubsail, with Its 3,000 feet of
canvas , came rattling down on the
deck, leaving it a helpless cripple. No
amount of pluck or courage could face
such a catastrophe and Shamrock
abandoned the race, towing hack to
the anchorage after the wreckage had
been cleared.
Columbia continued over the course
alone, placing to its credit the second
of the races for the America’s cup. The
accident to Shamrock ruined the race
mid caused the keenest regret among
the yachtsmen and the thousands of
sightseers who were on hand to wit
ness what had promised to he a glori
ous duel.
It Is unfortunate that the defender
should have been the beneficiary of an
accident, as there is little glory in
beating a cripple, but the rule1 is Iron
clad If crippled before the start time
is allowed for repairs, but once over
the line, if anything carries away, the
sufferer must make such repairs as he
can, or if rendered hors de combat, as
Shamrock was today, he must lake the
consequences. There are good sense
and logic behind the rule. The races
are a test of construction as well as
design and seamanship. Doubtless, if
Mr. Iselin could have had his choice
in the, matter, he generously would
have declined to continue In view of
the crippled condition of his rival, but
the rules gave him no alternative, lie
was In duty bound to go on, and as he
finished well within the time limit the
race was his.

LONDON. Oct. I7.—Dispatches from
the Cape are very meagre tonight, but
they Include an important message
from Glencoe cump dated 3:35 this
(Monday) afternoon, announcing that
the Boer commands which invaded Na
tal. and after occupying Newcastle, ad
vanced to Dannhauser, retired in Inga
getie yesterday evening, their trans
port service being reported defective.
This will delay indefinitely the hoped
for assault on the strong British posi
tion at Glencoe.
Another dispatch reports activity on
the part of the t ree State commands
In the neighborhood of Alllwalnorth,
on the southern frontier. It Is be
lieved the enemy Intends to shortly
rush the railways station, with the aid
of artillery posted on a commanding
ridge.
There are rumors that the Boers
have been repulsed at Mafeklng and
are attacking Vryburg.
A Capetown paper has a dispatch
from the Orange river stating that the
telegraph wires have been cut between
Vryburg and Kimberley, and it is ex
pected the Boers are taking advantage
of a large gathering of disloyal farm
ers at Vryburg, celebrating the Nacht
mal, to attack the town, hoping that
the farmers will assist them against
the British. The same dispatch says
the Boer force at Kimberley is conli
dent of its ability to hold out, but
urges the lmmediute dispatch of a re
lief force.
This question of a possible rising of
the Dutch farmers In tae northern
parts of Cape Colony is very Import
ant. The Daily Mail's correspondent
at Colesburg has been inquiring re
garding the matter and on the whole
thinks the chances arc against a rising.
He liases his opinion on the prespect of
good crops after tour lean years, wuich
he believes will predispose the farmers
to peace. Nevertheless there is seri
ous disloyalty and much anti-British
agitation in these districts, while the
Free State Boers threaten an immedi
ate invasion of Colesburg.

thedral was crowded with a notable
audience assembled to witness the
consecration of Itev. Arthur Llewellyn
Williams, bishop-coadjutator of the

the lpngthy services, and at 10 o’clock
when the ceremonies opened, there was
scarcely standing room.
It was a representative audience of
prominent Omaha people with a dis
tinguished aggregation of visiting
clergy. The ceremonies were impres

A striking feature of the opening
ceremonies was a procession of the
clergy and others, which formed in
Oardlner Memorial parish house, and
marched up the center aisle of the
cathedral, acting under ttie direction
of the master of ceremonies. In addi
tion to the clergy were members of the
choir, cross hearers, lay officers of the
dioceses of Nebraska and others. This
procession was an inspiring sight.

LINCOLN. Neb., Oct. 19.—The su
preme court has granted a temporary
Injunction restraining the board ot
transportation from proceeding with
the hearing of the complaint of John
O. Yelser against the Nebraska Tele
phone company. The application was
made for the injunction by W. W.
Morsman, attorney for the telephone*
company.
In the petition filed by Attorney
Morsmau he seta out the history of the
case. The complaint against the tel
ephone rates was filed by Yelser with
the board of secretaries of the board
of transportation. The board proceed
ed under the act of 1897. which gave
it authority to fix and regulate rates
of telepragli and telephone companies
as well as of expr»ss companies. The
telephone company went into the
courts with Its contention in opposi
tion to this position of the board, and
also set up the unconstltutionulity ot
the act creating the board. This cuse
went through the district court, if
having ben brought up by the com
pany. This decision of the supreme
court was against the telephone com
pany.
Boon after the supreme court deci
sion the board of secretaries, under
direction of the board of transporta
tion, informed Yelser that it was ready
to take up the hearing of his case.
This date for continuing the hearing,
which had been interrupted by the
court proceedings, was set for October
19. When the telephone company
went into court at first it asked for
an injunction to restrain the board
from attempting to Interfere with its
rates and management.
N«'hr:iMki» Stockmen Ituying Slieep.
SOUTH OMAHA, Oct. 19.—'The Den
ver Stockman has this to say of sheep
feeding conditions in Nebraska: "Tho
big Nebraska feeders are getting down
to business. They have concluded that
prices on southern lambs are not too
high when the cheap corn is consid
ered. They are going after the lambs
now and buying them by train loads.
Another conclusion lias been reached,
and which Is In tho main responsible
for the heavy buying going on now,
not only in the south, hut in tho west
as well. The beef supply available next
spring does not tlgure out as going
to be as great as the demand, conse
quently there is a great likelihood that
beef will lie high. To counteract tills
high market and to supply such con
sumers as will not find themselves
able to buy the high-priced beef all
the time there Is a strong possibility
that much mutton will be consumed,
and these sheep buyers are getting
ready for such demand.
“The latest, purchase of forty car
loads of New Mexico lambs and yearl
ing wethers by a big Nebraska feeder
at a cost of $2.30 per head at point of
loading is a price that cannot help but
render a handsome profit when mar
keting time comes.”
Where i« Tannehill.
COLUMBUS, Neb., Oct. 19—It is
now ten days since John Tannehill lefC
this city to avoid arrest on the charge
of forging notes to the amount of
over $1,600. Not the slightest trace
of him has been found, which has lea
, to all sorts of rumors concerning his
whereabouts. All or them, however,
are supported by no facts, and where
Tannehill. is remains as deep a mystery
as ever.
tine rumor has him in Mexico; an
other, en route to the Philippines; a
third, that he has taken his own life;
and some believe he has fled to Kansas.
It was at first thought that Tanne
hlll’s property would aggregate a suf
ficient amount to liquidate tne forged
paper. Developments Indicate that It
will by no means do this. If his wife
exercises the right of the $20,000
homestead redemption, which it is un
derstood she will do, no margin will
lie left.
