JEW YOR , Sept. It-Speclal ( Teegram : )
-Thero Is but one International topic to
whIch anybody can be expected to pay attention -
ton today , and that Is the International yacht
race. That Is a subject on which there Is
great need of an Impartial statement , and I
will try to make one I know very well the
dangers atendIng such an attempt , stIll I
think It worth malcng , and especially ! o to
an audience some distance from New Yorlc.
This city , like other cites , Is very apt to bo
governed by local feelings and Influonc3s. The
New York Yacht club , moreover , Is a very
powerful body socially , with very whle-reach-
' , Ing connections. and the reputation of the
; i Now York Yacht club Is very deeply con-
cernell In this business. There Is the Jingo
sentment ala sentiment very accurately
expressed In the old mete , "Our country ,
rIght or wrong. " I you adopt that the whole
question becomes very simple. You no longer
wish to find out who Is right or 'wio Is
wrong. Mr. Ieln Is an AmerIcan , Lord Dun- '
raven Is an Englishman , so down with the
Englishman.
I do not bole\o : that to be goad Amerlcan-
Ism nor to represent the best American feelIng -
lug , nor the folng of the majority.
To clear the ground still further , let us I
make a supposition. Let us suppose al thc ,
acts of the New York Yacht club commltteo
and of the America's cup committee to be ,
Ii ' technically defensible. Suppose they were ,
right On all the contested poInts and Lord I
Dunra\en wrong. Are we satisfIed with the
result ? Do wo take much prIde or pleasure ,
In keeping the America's cup In this way ? r
Does our success add to our reputatior L
abroad ? reputaton
WHEREIN AMERICA SUPFERS.
I fear It must bo admitted that I does not , .
The judgment against us may bo harsh or
wrong , but It Is a judgment , and It Is no
answer to say that all the fault Is Lord Dun
raven s. Lord Dunraven Is not the kecper
of the honor or reputation of the United I
States. NothIng that ho has done or omited I
to do could compromise I or us. I wo are
compromIsed ( wo shl have to admit , ulti -
mately , I not today , that for the acts which
have brought reproach upon us wo and no
foreigner are responsible.
I will put the mater broadly. We hold the
AmerIca's cup. Lord Dunraven chalenged I
for It , built a yacht to compete for it , crossed
the seas to race for it , and then wlhrew
on the express ground that a fair race could II I
not be had on account of the excursion
steamers. Is there anything In that state -
ment which can be denied ? I there Is not ,
can we wonder that the reputation of the
country abroad suffers. The only point In the
statement which anybody will pretend to
contest fR thA assertion that a fain race
could not be had on account of the excursion -
sion ! steamers. That , however , does not rest
on Lord Dunraven's authority. The leslmony
of the New York press was unanimous
They have denounced the conduct of these
steamboat captains ever since last Saturday :
In the most energetic language. They have
admitted and asserted that both yachts were
Interfered with . They now blame Lord Dun
raven for acting on the ' views they them
selves have expressed.
CLEAR COURSE IMPOSSIBLE.
Nobody can say that there was any guaran-
tee , whatever . that the course would b kept
clear lat Thursday. I was crowded at the
atart. The committee postponed the start to
get the steamers out of the way. They sue
ceeded. Does anybody believe they coul !
have "cpt It clear during the race ? Noboy
professes they could. They do not them
) selves I.y . they could. Inasmuch , then , as
Lord Dunraven had notified the commLtee
le would not again sail over an obstructed
course , can lie bo blamed for acting on his
notice ? I assume all through that both side
are acting In good faith. There Is no cvi L-
denco of bd faith on either side. There arc ,
however , Ilapers which suggest that Lord
Dunraven had 1 base tolve for wlhdtnwlng.
They say he knew he should be beaten. One
' " New York paper of large circulation bead
"T' lines Its report on Friday with the words
j "Dunraven lunks. " There could not be a
snore olensl'e Inst1 nor a charge less
founded The fact Is that Lord Dunraven
still believes Valkyrie ' faster than Defendei
lie lost the first race party by the hauling of )
the wind to the southward. That Is his \'Iew ,
and i I also the view of ! a good many competent -
patent AmerIcan yachtsmen who were then
'
The wash of the steamers did the rest.
The second race , on which the foul occurred
at starting , was won by Valkylo by tort ) , -
seven seconds. Lord Dunrann Is confider it
he should have won by five or sIx minutes
more I the steamers would have let bin 5.
He may bo rIght or wrong. All I mean to I
say 1 that such Is his belief.
: ; > COMMITTEE ALWAYS WRONG.
J Thai disposes of the suggestion , whch
ought never to have been made , that ho witl 1-
drew on Thursd3Y because he knQW ho ! hould
bo be3ton. I I equally well disposed of by
his proposal 10 Iho ( committee to sail the race
somewhere else , or at an hour when the
s ales Joull Dot Itt at the yachts , or that
the committee should declare the race void

far from affirming Ihat.
The true 10lve , however has never , S :

CONDITIONS NOT THE SAME. i
But , says one New Yorle piper , whIch dieA .
talulshell Il el by uM.lule 'atell jingoIsm ,
Lord Dunraven hind ] accepted the COJI1on. !
and ou/1 10 have sailed the last rae at nY
r isk. The answer Is that the danger had in-
c reased. The conWons were not the lame
anl ( Lard Dunra\en hal frankly rid that ho
tld not Ihlnk he had a rIght 10 risk his yacht
and the lIves ! of hi crew In circumstance
whIch hall b come of imminent and vlblo
p eril.
To say that Defender ran the 'same risk Is
only to say that the contest "as a gamble.
Can we really desire 10 put the questions of
Interntonal i superiority In yachting 10 mere
h azard 7 Is It to depend on luck ? Arc we
con lent to keep or lore the cup at the caprice
of an excursion steamboat captain ? Should
wo be satisfied I Valkyrie was swamped or
Impeded i ? Should wo bo satisfied If Defender
lost l the race for similar reasons ? I not , I
Wink we might cease chiding Lord Dmra\
for not caring to accept the very chances
which we should reject. I Is no answer to
say that Defender was ready to accet these
vossibiiittes. They had been provldel\ for
her by her own frIends , and reject them she
could not. I think , too , we ought to remem-
ber that In all these matters the repro-
sentatves of onJ of the parties Interested are
decIding for bolh. The committee are all
AmerIcans. They have done their best , I
repeat , , to bo impartial , but , after all , they
are not only AmerIcans '
, but human. Why
should we never have thought of giving the
Englishmen a voice on the committee ?
I Is hard 10 explain the ferocity of the
attacks on Lord Dunra\en In certain papers
except on one thcor ) ' . The wrIters In those
journals feel that the Englishman has corno
mited the inexpiable crIme of putting them
In the wrong , and their only way out of It
Is to revile the man guilty of this offense .
OUTRAGES INTERNATIONAl. . FEELING.
Having saId this much , I add that although
I consider that Lord Dunraven , as a 'achts-
man , was justified In wihdrawIng 'his boat ,
I none the less I think that as a representa-
tvo of England ho made a deplorable mis-
take. This had become an issue of somethIng i
more than yacht racIng. I had stirred na-
tonal and International feelings. Good re-
latons between Englnnl and America are a
thousand times more Important 10 both
tmes coun-
tries than the America's cup. ThIs dispute
has to seine extent embittered them. hard
things arf said on boll sides. I Is firmly
belo vei abroad that a fair race cannot bo
had off Sandy hook. We know what Is said
here. A portion of the Englsh press , though
nol the best portion , has prlnteJ some ehame- i
ful criticisms. The sporting ppars write ,
after their kind. They thInk of nothing but
sport , and expect everybody to accept English L
views of sport , and upbraid us I wo prefer
to have views of our own.
Among the non-sporting papers the radIcals -
Icals are , as usual , by far the most anti. .
ant-
American and fling out imputations with
: fng Imputatons wih I
true radical recklessness. \Ve are stung Into I I
replying and so the wrangle goes on Lord I
Dunraven might well have taken these Inter-
national considerations Into account. I heart-
Iy wIsh ho had. even nt much rIsk to his
yacht. But he , a yachtsman , dId not feel ] i
warranted In taking other than a yachtln
yachtng
vlow. \Ve , too , base our condemnation of him
on yachting views , and there I wIsh I might
end. I wi so end In one sense , for tlO ,

LONDON , Sept. 14.-New ( York World
Cable.-Speclal Telegram.-Not ) I single
Englsh newspaper daily or sporting , that I
have seen , has maintained that Valcyrlo was
a better boat than Defender. Wherever
any authority has discussed this poInt II has
been Invariably admitted from the facts at
h and that Defender clearly showed her IU-
p rlorlty. The Saturday Review today , I
historIcaly ! unfriendly critic of all things
Amerian , says : "The account of the first race
was depressing In the extreme to all who had
hoped i Valkyrie might hold her own with the
best American sloop. Captain InC slcmed
to have outmaneuvered Captain Cranfield at
the start , and Defender outsaled VaUtyrle ,
both In goIng to wIndward and In the run
home. In fact the superiority of Defender
over ValkyrIe appeared to bo even more
marked than the superiority of Vigilant over
Valkyrie I.Ve cannot see that the second
race altered thIs Inference In the slightest.
To say nothing about the foul , all are agreed
that Defender lost a couple of minutes at
the start and was only beaten by forty-seven
seconds In spite of the fact that SilO could I
never carry her large topsail. I we discuss
the foul wo have at once to acknowledge that
so far as our Information goes Americans I
have given us an example of the sportsman.

IT WAS OF THE SAME PIECE.
"The English press was unanimous In condemning -
demning the Cornel crew for rowing over
the course and scorIng a wIn when l'wlr opponents -
ponents through 1 mistake were left nt the C
posl. Now a British yacht gets an advantage
In i the start and Instead of returning IId : L
sailing the race over again gee on and tries n
to score I win. Under these circumstances n
wo should have expected all the English
papers to condemn Lord Dunra\en for un-
sPortsmanlike conduct , but , far from t10lng
this , they have tried to condemn the committee -
tee of the New York Yacht club. The TImes ,
wo are glad to see , Is fairer than others , but
even that paper , while loyally accepting the r
decIsion , says : 'So far ns wo can gather from S
telegraphic accounts , Defender manuovered I
to put Valkyrie Into a difficult position a'd I
succeeded In doing so. . ' This Is undoubtedly
true , but I did nol nee to bo stated , for I
Is what every yacht skipper trIes to do on S
every such occasion. The Chronicle asserts S
that there Is no equity In the decision to give i
the race to the loser , but the dear old ChronIcle - ,
Iclo evidently knows ] more about the l-tntcs S i I
of the nonconformIst conscience than It does
about the equities of yacht racing. The Pal I
Mal Gazette , IS was to be expected , parrots S
the Chronicle with nn added shade of I'n- '
reason In it. Tire decision Is hardly l ula-
ble , bu I Is the rule of the game. . "
DEFENDER TIE BETTER FOmr.
The article , I understand , was written by
a note yachting expert , who adds : "The i
measurements of the two yachts disclose the I
difference which may wel be the true caue i
of the superiority of Defender. Her mast ,
wo hear , Is stepped some fire feet and 1 hal r
further forward than that of Valkyrie , whIch S
shows that the pInt of greatest breadth In I
her must bo four or five feet nearer the bows I
than It Is In Valkyrie , and thus Defender
has a much . longer run than Valkyrie. The ,
importance of thIs can be gauged from tbe
fact known 10 every sailor that I In a row
boat you seek to tow a mast It Is better to I
tow It with the thick end near your boat. A
bluff bow and 1 long run are better than a I
fine entrance and a bad run. I looks as I t
tire long run on Defender Is the cble rp r
outward sign of Mr. lerreschofts superIoriy
as a yacht buiider. . "
Only 1 few leading English yachtsmen are
available In or around London , the rest L
being scattered just now at country houses
all over England or at resorts on tim con
tinent , and I bas been possible to reach only
a few of these by telegram or letter slnc3 the
unfortunate result of the international con
test To requests for an opinion on the
merits of tIre decIsion of the New York re -
gatta commlto and Lord Dunraven's fnal I
acton , the un'form answer has been that L
until further details were received they muat I
decline 10 give their names to public ex-
preulons . of their \Iows.
FAiTh IN TIE COMMITTEE.
One of the leading yachtsmen said today ,
however , that ho was personally acqualnle ;
with the member of the commLeo and-he
feels sure they would bo inclined 10 give the
verdict to the English visitor If I had a
In any way possible under the rules. Another -
other yachtsman sid : "I as. reported here
Valkyrlo was to widward at the time of the
collision , any sailor would laugh at the con
tention that she could not maYo avoided
fouling , even If the committee boat was , as
claimed , close aboard on her weather bower
or ahead. The least touch of her helm tt t

I am bound to add that among experienced

Thee favorable expressions to the Amen
cans are , however , exceptional. The vat majority -

ALWAYS LEAVE BITTERNESS .
Tire bald statement may Indeed be made
that all international contests between Eng.
and l and the United Slates , with perhaps the
ingle exception of LIeutenant hleun's visit ,
and Including boating , intercollegiate and
other athletic encounters , have left the bll-
terest memories behind them. TheBo have I
not always found their way into publc : press ,
but I the World Is able 10 secure the I
frank statr'ment of their experiences from

1869 from Lon M'ers , tire once champIon
AmerIcan sprInter , front Hoyal Carrel of
the Nn\ahoe , from members of tine Yale
team and the Cornel crew , and George Gould I
as to last season's racing ! In British water ,
the result would no moro conduce 10 In.
lernatonal amity than th upshot of the I
present conlest. The suggestion Is made In L
the Yachting World and several London papers -
pers today that future contests for America' , S
c up seeming now hopeless an American I
yacht or yachts shall challenge for time royal I
VIctoria gold cup next year , or for the cup
won In American waters by Genesta , and I
now held by Bnitannia. "Then , " says even
our inmost generous critic In the English prose ,
"wo will Lee whEther racing yachts can bo t
designed In America to successfully brave
Atlantic storms. . " 'hll Is time stock argument -
ment over here , the fact never being allude I
to that both Na\ahoo and Vigilant crossed I
the ocean without Ih
least Injury from
straIning.

BERLIN , Sept. H-Accordlng 10 military
experts the army maneuvers In the vicinity
of SteWn this week have : been 1 great sue-
cess , and have demonstrated amply the excel-
lent l discipline , ann ( ! showing It to bo ready
for the InltL'tve of their commanlers. I has
also been shown , according to the same
authoriIes , that the days of the usefulness
of cavalry are by no means ended , as has
been asserted In some quarters. Both GerJ
man and foreign experts are loud In their
praises of the ski dlpla ) by Emperor
William In handling tine troops In Thursday's
acton , which followed the plan which ho had
personally designated. A new system of
field telegraphy , which was Introduced In
thIs engagement , proved most satisfactory.
Perhaps the only' thing In connection with
the army maneuver which has heft any ill
feeling II the fact that the count of TurIn ,
nephew of King Humbert of Italy , was
treated with decided coolness at Stet tn. I
Is alleged Emperor WIlliam was greatly an-
noyed that the count , instead of Crown PrInce
VIctor , was delegated to represent Italy
among tine royal guests at the man uvers.
I Is undertood ICing Humbert dId not Fend
the crown prince to Germany for fear that I
by so doing he would give offense to Prnnce. I

NEWSPAPER SUPPHESSIONS CorMON.
Since tire emperors denunciation of so-
cIalsts the seizure of socialist papers and limo
arrest of theIr editors have been incidents
of almost daily occurrence. Among the
papers subjected to this treatment are the
Magdeburg Volestmle , the Dreslau Volks-
wacht , the Hanover Yolks Wile , the Elen !
Arbeiter Zeltung curl tIre Kel Volks Zel-
' tung , whist the seizure of presses at Lelpc , .

Saxon and Bavarian governments are prepared
In tine anti-socialist campaign. Tine Voss-
Ische Zeltung of thL city warns the govern-
merIt against ill-advised attacks upon the
liberty of the press. The ministers are all
taking their holdays and II L Impossible
that any decided ant-socialst measure will
be adopted at once. I Is known , however ,
tht Count Von Eulenburg , who Is credited
wih having great Influence wIth Emperor
William , has been strongly advIsing his
sovereIgn toward more rigorous repressive cn
nictmnents.
A Hamburg newspaper declares the ImperIal -
penal chancellor , PrInce Hohenlohe , will re-
alga his ofce I the emperor should Insist
upon the introduction of nny such measure.
SeeIng the lengths to which the local
authorities will go now that the emperor
has gIven the word , the press Is becoming
much more guarded In its comments. Many
journals counsel the government to seek the
causes of discontent which feed the socialist
flame rather than hastily endeavor to sup-
press agitation , persecution having only
served to Increase the zeal of It prop-
agandIsts.
VON MOLTKE'S ABLEST PUPIL.
The promotion of Count Von Waldorsee
to be 1 field marshal has directed attention
anew to 1 man who Is destined to play I
leading part In the next great war In which
Germany Is engaged Von Walderso Is regarded :
garded as Von Moltko's ablest pupil. hit
handling of the Ninth army corps at the
Stettn maneuvers proved him to be a
capable strategist , while his corps wu shown I
to be enl of the best dried In the Prussian
arm ) ' .
I Is now admitted at the foreign ofce
that the visit of Prilee Hohenlohe , the 1m.
portal chancelor , to St. Petersburg , has a
semi-official character . Prince Hohenlohe
went In the fIrst place to seek n private favor
at the hand of the czar , namely , that his I
wIfe might retain pos sslon of the vast
estates In Russia whIch else inherited a few ,
years ago from her brother , Sy-Wltgen-
stein but ho bad further mission which
, 1ad a , was S
to confer with Prince Lobnot the RussIan
minIster of foreIgn affairs , with regard to C
the Russo-German entente In the event of i
further troubles In the far east and to effect
a genrl understanding on the political
situation . I Is underetood the official mis-
slon of Prince .Hohenlohe was measurably
successful , the czar readl ) ' granting PrIncess I
Uohenloho permission to retain her Russian I
etats , which are said to be worth 50,000" .
000 marks The late czar rIgorously enforced
the law which forbids foreigners to own I
land In Russia , and If ho had lived PrIncess r
Uohenloho would lave been obliged to sel I
her estate9 for whatever they would fetch
I Is not Improbable one of the youngest sons
of Prince Hohenlohe will remove to Hupsla
to reside permanently , and so qualify 11m sel
for the Wlgensteln estates.
ATTACKS MET WITH VIGOR.
The conservatives are meeting tine atacks
of Baron Von Hammersteln , impugning their
political Integrity , wIth characteristic vigor .
A committee representing the Kreuz Zeltung
publshes a statement today , which Is signed I
by Count Von Flnckenateln , to the etect
that Daron Von Hammerteln was suspended I
from tine position of chief editor of that
