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.

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. INDIAN OUTBRI \K FEARED.

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.

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. ( Itilii i»i«*H to Stivf* Mhlpr.
