Maneuvered Yachts Could Not
Finish Within Tlmo Limit.
The first of the International yacht
races result in a fltilcc, tho wind refus
ing them a race within tho time limit.
Tho great slnglo stickers went out
this morning fresh for the battle, but
the sea refused them a field of conflict.
Tho wind, never more than nine and
sometimes a low as threo knots, was
too light and shifty to carry the eon
tcstants over tho thirty-mile course in
the tlmo allotted by tho rules. At the
end of five and one-half hours, the pre
scribed time, tho race was ofllctally
declared off and tho yachts were towed
back to their berth Insldo Sandy Hook.
When the gun on board tho commit
tee boat was fired to call attention to
the signal declaring tho race off, tho
American yacht was still five miles
from tho finish line. The Englishman
was well astern of her, the experts es
timating her distance behind the Co
lumbia at over three-quarters of a
mile.
Under tho rules the unfinished race
will bo recalled on Saturday, and tho
courso will bo again fifteen miles to
windward and leeward and return.

ablo as tho trial had been throughout

"Ho said ho know Presldont MeKln

that on tho day President MeKlnley

"Did ho say ho was nn anarchist?"
"Yes."
"Did ho say any moro on tho sub

"Yes. Ho said that ho had mado n
study of tho beliefs of anarchists and
ho was n firm believer in their prin

ho had received much Information on

Ho said that ho know a man in Chi

"Did ho over say anything about his

asked tho district nttornoy.
"Yes," was tho reply. "Ho said that
ho wont to tho exposition grounds for

that nil kings, emperors and presidents

Superintendent Dull was cross-examined
by Lawyer TUub and said tho

At tho conclusion of Superintendent

Then Mr. Lewis arose slowly nnd,
addressing tho court, .said:
"Wo aro embarrassod by tho sudden
closing of the caso of the prosecution,
Wo had not expected thorn to close bo

abruptly. Wo have no witnesses to call
for tho defense, but 1 ask tho court
that my colleague nnd mysolf bo al

Permission was granted by tho court
and Judge Titus began his address nt

"Gentlemen of tho Jury," ho began,
"a calamity has fallen upon this na
