The second British victory, that at

regarded as having completely demor

opinion of military critics, It will tend
to bring tho war to n speedy conclu

Sympathizers with the Boers regard

the apprehension caused by Lord W ol

Through wind and hoary seas, in n
breeze that approached the dignity of
a. gale, tho gallant sloop Columbia
vanquished the British ehnllenger
Shamrock Friday by blx minutes and
eighteen seconds actual time nnd six
minutes and hlrtj--four seconds cor
rected tlmo, thus completing tho bcries
for tho America's cup with a mugnlfle
cent rough weather duel and a glorious
Yankee victory.
For tho eleventh time the attempt of
a foreigner toi wrest from America the
yachting supremacy of the world has
failed. Tho trophy won by tho old
schooner America forty-eight years
ago is still ours, a monument to the
superiority of American senmnnship
and American naval architecture anil
a standing challenge to the yachtsmen
of till nntlons.
The intrinsic value of the reward,
which hundreds of thousands of dol
lars were expended to secure, 1 s small
simply an antiquated piece of silver
ware, which Queen Victoria offered to
the best sailing ship of tho world in
the early days of her reign, but around
it cluster tho precious memories of un
broken American triumphs nnd tho
honor of mastery in tho noblest of
sports.
To Sir Thomas Lipton, whose name
Is now added to the list of defeated as
pirants for tho honor of carrying tho
cup back across the Atlantic, failure
was a crushing blow. His hope hud
been high. But like the truo sports
man that he Is, the sting of defeat has
left no bitterness, and with undaunted
courage ho intimates that ho may bo
back with a better boat to try again.
During his stay here Sir Thomas has
made himself moro popular than any
previous challenger, and the yachtmen
of this country will be glad to welcome
him back. Except for the repeated
flukes and the unfortunate accident to
tho challenger on Tuesday this series
of races has been unmarred by a single
untoward incident Tho boats have
had two fair and square races, one In
light air and tho other in a heavy
blow, aud Sir Thomas is perfectly sat
isfied that ho was beaten by the better
boat.
After the raco was over a grand spec
tacle followed. The victor, after
lowering her bails, set the stars and
stripes at hor topmast truck at both
ends of her spreader and at tho taffrall.
soon the whole licet blossomed out In
American Hags. The Corsair, tho flag
ship of.tho New York yacht club, had
six flags flapping in tho stiff breeze as
sue went alongside the Columbia and
gave her three shrieking blasts. Then
her crew cheered nnd the hardy Deer
Islanders atxmrd Columbia responded
with bared heads.
Later the Erin, which had remained
behind for a few minutes with the
Shamrock, steamed up to the Columbia,
the btars und stripes fluttering from
main and mizzen. The Corsair greeted
her with cannon, which SlrThotnns ac
knowledged by dipping the English
jack at tho taffrall. Then, by Sir
1 noma, orders, tlio crew ol tlie Krln
lined up to the rail and gave three
coou Anglo-enxon cheers tor the vie
tors. They were returned by the proud
crew of the Columbia.
Sir Thomas Lipton went aboard the
Corbtiir, whero ho was joined by Oliver
Iscliu, owuer of tho Columbia, where
toast were drunk to victor and van
mulshed. Good feeling prevailed
throughout.

BRITISH DEFEAT THE BOERS
Halt Truimntil Force ut Tntaua Hill
l.oiMf Very Heavy.
A dispatch from CIcncoc Cnmp dated
October Ct at 2:50 p. in., Hays: After
eight hours of continuous heavy fight
ing 'ii.lnnn hill wns carried by the
Dublin fusileers and the king's rifles
under cover of n well-served artillery
lire by tho Thirteenth nnd Sixty-ninth
batteries. The Boers who have threat
ened the British rear have retired.
The fight was almost an exact coun
terpart of that st Majuba Hill, except
that the positions of tho Boer nnd Brit
ish forces were reversed.
General Symmons was severely, but
not dangerously wounded.
Tho battle was n brilliant success
The Boers got a reverse which may
possibly, forja time, at any rate, check
all aggressive notion.
The British artillery practice in the.
early part of the day decided tho bat
tle. The seizure of Dundee hill by tho
Boers was a surprise, for although tho
pickets hud been exchanging shots all
night, it was not until a shell boomed
over the town into the cnmp that their
presence was discovered. Then the
shells came fat. The hill was posi
tively alive with the swarming Boers,
still the British artillery got to work
with magnificent energy und precision.
The batteries from the camp took up
positions to the south of tho town, and
after a quarter hour's magnlllceut firing
bllenccd the guns"bn tho hills.

Amicable Adjustment of Alaskan Ilound
nry DUputo.
Mr. Tower, the British charge at
Washington, called at the state de
partment and handed to Secretary Hay
a note formally accepting for his gov
ernment the proposition for the tem
porary adjustment of the Alaskan
boundary lino proposed by Secretary
Hay. The division line on the west
pass, by which the Dalton trull la
reached, Is placed twenty-two and ono
qunrter miles above Pyramid harbor,
which Is regarded under the treaty as
tidewater mark, so the Canadians aro
not allowed to reach any point on the
Lynn canal. Moreover, there is no
permission for a free port or even for
tho free transfer across American ter
ritory of Canadian goods except of
miners' belongings. The modus vlven
dl follows the precedent established by
Secretary Evarln 187S in agreeing on
a temporary boundary on thu Stlkecn
river in Alaska by an exchango of
notes.

It Is thought ho killed his son to get

to escape legal punishment. In this
way ho expected to leave his familj

At Brownvllle, the scene of the. mur
.lcr, Theodore Chcesman of Fnlrport,
,Mo., to whose efforts is duo tho capture
of Georgo Bay, tho slayer of Frank
Chcesman, Theodore's brother, told of
his successful search for the murderer.
Theodore said at the death bed of his
brother that he would capture Bay or
spend n lifetime In the attempt, and
naturally he Is well pleased over the
outcome of his efforts.
Bay was betrayed by Mrs. Minnie
Chcesman, Frank's widow, and Hay's
paramour. After Cheesmnn's funeral
Mrs. Chcesmnn went to Nebraska City,
where she remained a short time, aud
then went to Victor, Cole, and after

is alleged, she soon married again, but
lived with her husband but a short
time During tho summer Theodore
Chcesman went" to Crlpplo Creek and
spent a month watching the actions of
Mrs. Chcesman. Before leaving he
hired n detective to look after her.
This man succeeded in ingratiating
hjtnself in tho fickle affections of the
woman, and In n moment of confidence
sho showed him a letter from Bay
signed "J. P. Keegan," the name as
binned by Bay. Tho letter was writ
ten from Illinois, but when tho detec

P. Keegan" was traced to northwest
Iowa and arrested. Ho readily ac
knowledged his 'identity nnd agreed to
return to Nebraska without a requisi

MOTHER OF GIRL RELENTS.
I'crinlt Her rotirtoou-Ycar-Old Daugh
ter to Wed.
The police of Fremont had an odd
sort of an elopement on their hands.
Tuesday. Lon Mosley, a baker who
has been making his home in Fremont,
it is charged, took a fourteen-year-old
girl named Pearl Luke from her homo
at Norfolk and the enamoured pair
came to Fremont. The mother of the
girl was much exercised nnd bent a
telephone message to the chief of po
lice asking him to hold the pair until
she could arrive. The couple, very
penitent, btayed in the custody of the
police all night and in the morning
faced Mrs. Luke, who came In bright
and early. It appears that the mother
agreed with her daughter that fourteen
years Is a proper ago for a girl to wed
and merely wanted to see that tho mar
riage ceremony was properly cele
