"I came to Europe to see nobody , " sail he ,
"and consequently I see every one. I saw
Mr. Croker toay , who told me that he Is re
turIng to New York to take an active part
In the campaign. Mr. Croker Is very conl-
dent that Tammany will elect its whole

I hat that the reformers and the republicans
I wi not be able to pull together , as was the
case In 1891. I we era unable to nlhere , to
the combinations of 1801 ? $ Mr. Croker's
opinIon Is right. Tammany , In that eVlnt ,
I wIll elect all the judges , the county ticket ,
the senator 01)1 most of the assemhlymen.
, I believe that the state wll go republican ,
all that we have a pretty sure thing for

? Mr. Depew was asked about an article ]
which appeared In the London TImes on

Is not sought for shows the slim chances of
the democrats. "

Mr. Depew was asked by his Interviewer
t what his observations showed to be the
, . , status of the Irish question , to which he re-
' piled : "I think thq conservatives. who have
come Into power In I'nglan.I : , will give Ireland -

NEW YOlK , Sept. G.-No prevIous con-
test for the America's cup has ever aroused
such Intense and wIdespread Interest on both
sides of the Atlantic as the races between
Defender and Vallyrio III , which begin tomorrow -
morrow off Sandy 1100k. Not only are hundreds -
dreds of strangers In town from Boston ,
Phiadelphia , Iallmore and Chicago and
many other cite of the far west , eager to
wItness the grand struggle between the two
splellest yachts ever built , but the number
of foreign visitors who are here for time
same purpose has never before been ex-
ceeded The hotels are packed with guests
and every avaIlable excursion steamer In the
vicinity has been pressed Into servIce to
accommodate the thousands of sightseers who
will witness the rare spectncle.
Such a big rush for tIme ccean course has
been anticipated for tomorrow that unusual
precautions have been taken by the cup I
commIttee to have the course properly patrolled - ! '
trolled , .so that time racIng yachts ' shall not
bo Interfered wih by the excursion fleet.
Time patrol force will bo In charge of B. S.
Osborn , who looked after the recent naval
parade at the opening of the Harlem ship
canal , anti Lieutenant Delhanty , supervisor
ef the port. Colonel Olesplo of the engl-
nearing corps of the United States army
and the navy yard olelals arc all Interested
In securlnK fair play for the racers.
The commlteo has also Issued a notice to
all captains of excursion boats anti pleasure
craft , urging the necessity of keeping an ab-
solutcly clear course and asking
them to do all In their power
to prevent Interference with time
races , so tht there : may bo no cause for
complaint ] , as there was on several occa-
sions during the InternatIonal races two
summer ago.
Designer Watson of the Valkyrie saId to-
day to a reporter : "I am going down to the
race tomorrow xpectng to lose. "
Ho sold this serIously , but neiher he nor
any other of the Valkyrie people looked very
downcast.
MEASUREMENT O THE YACHTS.
Time results of the measurer's work on the
yachts was a great surprise. No good judge
thought the English yacht would gIve over
a minute and a hal In a thIrty-mile course
to Defender , yet many capable critics said
the chslenger would give a mInute , but that
she should yield less than half 1 minute
was astonishing to . all the smart people.
However , here are lIme figures , and they
spenlt for themselves :

When Mr. Hyslop brought time measure-
ms"ts to the , New York Yacht club house he
saId Valkyrie ] woull have 10 allow Defender -
fender 29.1 seconds. I was only hIs business -
ness , he added , to turn the meuurements
over to tre regatta commIttee and let that
commIttee decIde what the time allowance
' decde tme alowance
would be. Nevertheleu , he felt that 29.1
seconds was a faIr thing. The commitee
conSidered the question for a long time all
at 10:25 : p. m. posted up a notice on the
club's bulletin board to the effect that the
allowance would be twenty-nine seconds.
leavIng oft ! r. Hylo'S added one-tenth of
a second The races will perhaps be very
close but no tlnths of seconds will separate
time boats at the finlsim.
VERY CLOSELY MATCHED.
I wi bo noticed the load water line
lengths of the ships shol only a difference
of forty-hundredths of a foot In favor of
Defender , and that the length of Defender'e
gaff went considerably toward reducing the
small advantage gained on time water hue.
I will ale be seen the sail area does not
show so grort a difference as was expected ,
anti that the general ratIng of 100.3C for
Defender as agaInst 10149 for Vakyrle ] displays -
plays a margin between the boats Fa small
that nobody guessed It. The regatta committee -
tee of the New York Yacht club Issued the
following circular tonight : "The courses for
the America's cup contest will be laid out
by Ileutenant C. M. Winslow ] U. S. N. , of
the New York Yacht club , who will be In
charge at the tug Edgar Lukenbach. Mr.
WInslow took the tug down the bay today
and adjusted the compasses and tested the
patent log. Lieutenant H. Merrill , U. S. N. ,
ale of the New Yorll Yacht club , will be In
charge of the Lewis Lukenbach , which has
been chartered for the purpose of marking
'ono end of the line , In case the start be
shied from the lightelmlp. This tug wIll also
make the second float In course No.2 , and
will assist the patrol feet when not otherwise -
wise engaged. "
On the announcement of the tIme allow-
anne the bettIng altered somewhat ali went
to even meney.
Tonight It was Impossible to secure ac-
commodatons at any of the large uptown
hotels. The guests came from alt paris of
this country , and Canadl sent many , but New
England , and particularly ] Boston , mustered
the la"rgest i number. A'I the Incoming trains
from New England were crowded , and the
sound steamers have done a great business
the past two days. Among time strangers
bere to see the contest are : LIeutenant Oov-
Irnor Kirkpatrick of Ontario SIr David ] McPherson -

NEW YORK . Sept. 7.-Forecaster Dunn
has Issued the following : "The weathcr In-
dicatons at midnight are : Fair , with light to
brisk southeasterly winds , wih the sea running -
ning rather high. The observers at I.ong

, In on Informal statement he says : "The
weather Is likely to be partly cloudy , wih
possibly ] a light shower or two , but not su1-
dent to spell tIme day or prevent the race.
The wind wi be from an easterly direction ,
shifng from northeast to suutheast. "
LONDON , Sept. 7.-The Chronicle bays this
moring : "If Valk'rJu hit does not hoIst the
winning fag today 01' Tuesday we shall probably -
ably never build a yacht that will do as well

SAN FRANCISCO , Sept C-The : taking of
testimony In the trial of Theodore Durrnnt
Is proc02elng slowly. During time three days
In which witnesses have been on the stand
all that has been established Is that Blanche
Lament Is deal anti that her body bears
marks of , violence The prosecution Is In-
dIned to make speed , wasting no tme In un-
necessary queries . On the other hanI , the
defense seems to be treading uncertainly
and searching for teclmnlcalities . In the

cross.examlnaton of' wItnesses the defend-
ant's attorney continually throws out fshing
lines , hoping to catch a < 1repancy In time

but as yet have not found anything.

hlEliMElt ON CONTRACTS.
During time last session ot the legislature
a prison Imoveatlgatlon comimmnlttee was imp-
pointed before whom Contractor Be mer , time
artien , was a witness , It was a joint coot-
unittee of senate ammd house , ammd one of the
noenobera w.ms Senator Craumo of houghas. Senator -
ator Crane asked :
"Mr , htoenmer , can you give us yommr opinion
as to ' imetimer it woultl be to tlmo beat Intef-
ests of ttmis state , or detrimental to time lum-
, terests of time state tpr time state of Nebraska
to lmavtm entire anti conmpleto control of its
convict labor , Immatead of having it couotrolied
by contractors and subcontractor.m ? "
'Fo title tluestiotm Mr. floemner , imaving been
dimly sworn , te3lflefi as follows :
"I thInk tIme state ought to have control ,
anti have time penitentiary run in such a shape
that tlm state would control the contractors
and say when they simouiti leave. I thInk It
ought to be run by contractors of dIfferent
lartIes , but they ought to be able to control -
trol these contractors themselves , anti mmot
iimsve aubcontractorb , I tlmlnlc that Is detri-
nooumtmi. If ens maci overa contractor timere it
would lme nil right , but wtmemm It commmes through
so many Imancle It brings too immany people
there-too msumy people Interested , too many
foremmoemi. "
Questianeti by Representative Walt :
"have you ever studied this matter over so
you can answer wimother this penitentiary
could be mule ueif-etmpportlmmg under time sub-
commtract s'etern ? "
fleemner ammuiwereti : "I ant sure It could
be , Just at time present time it ould be
hmard to do It. but. in good times It ougb ,
