The sails , to the nautical eye , were perfection In fit , and looked as If they might have been carved out of alabaster so fault less were the lines. It was soon apparent ! thatlhc white flyer was forging ahead. The clear water began to show between them. The Columbia not only seemed to outfloat the challenger , but the experts saw that It pointed higher. It was astonishing how It sliced Its way up Into the wind. Within fif teen minutes It had a lead of flve lengths and from that time on the race was won. The patriots were Jubilant and the bands , which began playing , never stopped until- the race was over. Columbia seemed more tender than the foreigner , showing yards ot Its bronze underbody as It leaned away with Its leerall almost awash. Steadily It con tinued to draw ahead until within half an hour , having unequivocally demon strated Its superiority In windward work. It became only a question of how far the white flyer would beat It to the outer mark. Ae the yachts got farther out the seas glow more turbulent and the spray spurted higher from the bows. Many excursionists came to grief , and the tugs plunging through the head seas sent the spray aloft to the pilot house and some of them were flooded from stem to stern. The work ot the patrol fleet was perfect. The revenue cutters' line ahead IP leeward and the torpedo boats' line abreast astern held the yachts In the hollow of a moving triangle , which changed direc tion with each tack nnd kept the yacVi as free from Interference as If they had been calling In the middle of the Atlantic. KnirlUli Try Xevr Tnntlca. Shamrock footed valiantly , but neither In speed nor < In pointing could It compare with Columbia. Then the three skippers on the challenger put their heads together and tried new tactics. Shamrock made a dozen short boards. Evidently its skip pers were under the Impression that it was quicker on its heel and better at forereach- Ing than the Yankee boat , but Columbia proved quite as nlmblo as Shamrock. Timed by a stop watch both boats were fif teen seconds In staya , and when the British ers write homo they will tell their friends that the white beauty was fully as clever as the challenger at forereachlng. "When Shamrock got through with this line of tac tics Columbia had Increased Its lead until It was half n mile ahead. At the end of another half an hour , as the wind continued to freshen , Sham rock took In Its baby Jlbtopsall , figuring that without this light headeall It might bo able to hug the wind closer. Columbia held on to Its nnd ns Shamrock did not Im prove Its position at the enil of ten minutes the skippers again set the sail. ly ) 1 o'clock Shamrock was fully a mile- and a half astern and Columbia was a winner all over. As the -Associated Press boat on Its way to the outer mark passed the Manning , Captain Evans , who was on the bridge , Bhoutcd : "Ain't she a peach1 ? " Nothing could have 'been prettlor than the way Columbia bwept urouud the outer mark , graceful aa ; i swan. Doth boats had edged far to the southward of their course and as the rules required that the mark should bo passed on the star board land Columbia tacked down to port and camt > over on the starboard tack ; i3 It approached the float. As It ncarcd the float the spinnaker was like n knight's "Honest Labor Bears a Lovely Face ' There is nothing more pleasing to look upon than a hearty , ruddy face , gained by honest toil. They are the saving of the nation , these totters of both sexes , strug gling for daily bread. 'Pure blood makes them able to keep tip the daily round of duty at home , shop or store.

As It swung around It cased off the main boom , let the spinnaker polo drop to port and breaking out the cloud ot canvas lied homeward like a scared deer. The big balloon Jib blossomed out forty- eight eoconds later. The few ships ot the excursion lleet at the outer mark gave It a rousing reception. Shamrock was al ready hopelessly beaten. lloli Slmmroclt of Wliul. A quarter of a mile from the homo run Columbia crossed the path ot Shamrock , still boating to the windward , and robbed It ot tb.3 wtad for a minute as it went past. It was nine minutes nnd forty-nine sec nds later when Shamrock swung arcund the Iliat and squared away for the finish. Columbia was already almost two miles away and In the thickening mist .could hardly be dis cerned , The bells In the engine rocims of the excursion boats jingled for full speed and they went plowing down on cither side of the course to bo In at the death. Sir Thomas Llpton's steam yacht Erin , however , remained abeam of the challenger , giving what encouragement he could to his beaten boat. Sir Thomas' frloads aboard looked fully as disconsolate as they felt. Some of them Eccmod to have lost all Inter est in the landscape and were hanging over the rail looking down at the water. Sir Thomas , however , remained on the bridge with hif > eyes glued on the boat In which his hope has so lately centered , nnd a group of sailors forward seemed to be trying to make out the lines of the vanishing Yankee In the thick gloom. Frctn that time It was simply a procession. There was a soul-stirring scene as Columbia approached the finish. The excur sion boats had gathered there In a semi circle to give It welcome and as It swept across the finish bedlam broke loose. The fiteam whistles shrieked , the sirens walled , Corsair , the flagship -of the New York Yacht club , and several other yachts flung their powder Into smoke and the multitudes on the decks of the sldowhcelera cheered. Corsair hauled down all Its private signals and set Old Glory at each masthead and gaff and taffrall. The crew ot Co lumbia gathered aft , hurrahed with bared heads , then as It lowered Its head sails and toolc the towllne from Its tender the crowd watted over ten minutes until Shamrock had crossed and tfio fleet had given Its stentorian expression of good will. will.Then Then they turned on their heels and scampered after Columbia , crowding about It and cheering It ogaln and again , while the bands played "Hall Columbia , " "Yankee Doodle" and other patriotic airs. The fleet escorted It nil the way to Us an chorage Inside the Hook. The race tomorrow will bo over the tri angular coureo , ten miles to the leg. and Shamrock will have an opportunity to show what It can do a Its favorite point of sailing. CUKW OF COMIMniA IIAI'I'Y.

There was no particular sign of exultation on the face of the managing cup defender , though he did look extremely well satisfied , "I do not know , " ho said , "that I have any particular comment to make. We won today because wo had the better boat , I have felt that all along ; now others , I think , will admit It. Wo are ready to race tomor row and as for wind and sea we are pre pared ( o take our chances with both. The boat sailed well today. During the race we did not have a. hitch or accident of any sort.

( New York World Ca blegram Special Telegram. ) The result of the yacht race wao received with amazing disappointment here. Accounts of the pre vious contests and opinions of experts had raised the confident expectation that the Shamrock could not be beaten. The public was quite unprepared for the manner In which Columbia appears to have walked an ay from tba challenger In a true and steady , It not n stiff breeze. The progress of the race was shown by Illuminated trans parencies at several points , but the crowds , at flrpt large , quietly dwindled away lu client disgust ns Columbia Increased Its lead. Interest In the races , which had already been seriously affected by the repeated failures nnd absorption In war developments , has been almost killed by Shamrock's unfor tunate showing under fair conditions. \Vhlit Yaeli't llaelni ; ComtN. NEW YORK , Oct. 16. The New York Yacht club , which haa the management of the cup races , Is the principal financial suf ferer by the failures. The ofllcers say that each attempt to race costs the club ? 3,000. , This Includes the club steamboat , the half dozen tup and the Incidental expenses. It will be seen that the club has thus far expended $21,000 In the attempts to pull off ono race. It must expend at least $9,000 more , Inasmuch as one yacht must win three times. The seven flukes have cost probably not far from $2,000,000 , which has como out of the pockets of the people who wanted to see the yachts meet. \n ( lUontH Aboard ttrln. NEW YOHK , Oct. 1C.

Mr. Goebel , for the first time" , today under took a defense ot the election law known as the Goebel law. He claimed the law be came a necessity to prevent the republicans ot the state from stealing the- state elections and charged the republicans with other states of being combined to defeat the state democratic ticket in order to secure the re peal ol the Jaw. "For this reason , " said Mr. Goebel , "we want a democratic governor who will pre vent" the repeal of the law. For this reason wo want you to send two democrats to the. legislature. I say democrats , because wo do not want Palmer anil Buckncr demo crats or Brown democrats. I mean demo crats who will sco that It Is not necessary for democrats to steal an election.

Four years ago , or , rather , three years ago , Ken tucky did not help the democratic party to any great extent. I believe the people voted better than the country counted. I am not sure but we carried the- state , but I am sure wo did not get It. Kentucky Is a democratic state and we have a right to expect It to go democratic In 1000. "If the Etato goes republican this fall It may bo dlfllcult to carry It next year. You will encourage the republicans and discour age the democrats If you divide the demo cratic party. You cannot whip the repub licans by dividing the democratic party In two. " Mr. Bryan vigorously denounced the war In the Philippines nnd the present largo standing army , claiming It the duty of the democratic party to seek the reduction of the army to the peace footing of 25,000 men , 'Mr. ' Bryan also at some length paid his re spects to President McKlnlcy's announce ment ot the Intention to hold the Philippine Islands and said It was the IIrut announce ment of a president of the United States against the spirit of the Declaration of In dependence. In referring to the president's declaration that congress would provide for the government of the Islands ho said : "You should substitute parliament for congress and revert to the tlmo when the colonies asked recognition of King George.

CONTINENT TIGHTENS PURSE STRINGS I'rlcoi tit l.nniin Peercnpio Dnrlaig the Pnnt Week , lint Opinion I * Hint tlie ItnUIN Cer- titln to Ailvmiur. NEW YOItK , Oct. 16. The Times' London financial correspondent cables : Our mnrkots moved much as anticipated last week. In money ease increased dully until cixll loans were down to 3 per cent and sometimes less. Loans for a week are now barely 3Vi to 3& jicr cent nnil this cheapness will probably continue for another eight or ten days , Dis count rates , too. have receded , until the bolder operators gave out 4 % per cent as a working quotation for ninety-day bills. Hut most banks have all along refused to buy from brokers under 4& per cent nnd the leading houses therefore only worked at that figure when In a position to keep blllf. Usually , therefore , 4 % per cent was the minimum rate and toward the end of the week a disposition was shown to hold out for 4 ? ; ' per cent. It was felt that the case was deceptive and on Thursday the liank return revealed the unpleasant fact that the Dank of Eng- Innd had retained only 65.000 of the week's net Import of $833,000 In gold. It was said to have gone Into circulation , but that Is hardly the truth. The mo al Is bslng hoaraoj by other banks , not before It was time , In view of possible credit complications ahead. The Bank of England must consequently calculate on having to cope with both In ternal and export demands for sovereigns at the same time that the most Important sup ply of gold la cut off. tor the AVnr. This week Parliament meets to vote money for the African war. The estimated re quirements vary from 0,000,000 to 10- 000,000 , but it la Improbable that the ex treme amount will bo nskcd for at first. Whatever money Is demanded must be bor rowed and the proceeds , to the extent , prob ably , of 500,000 a week , exported In gold to the Cape. It Is a question where this gold IB to be found. About 2,000,000 has lately been swept up In open markets on continental opening , but these are now be lieved to be almost bare and no tttnto bank abroad Is willing to spare a single ounce. About aweek ago the German Relchsbank told the Hamburg bankers that If they dis counted bills for poodle wishing to take advantage of the favorable exchange on export gold to London It would stop their credits. Therefore no gold is coming from Germany after the market sweepings are used up. The Bank of France blocks the way , cither by refusing altogether to sell gold , by raising the premium on the metal or by paying light napoleons. The Russian government and bank have just surmounted a crisis. The Austro-Hungarlan bank has quite enough to do with domestic complica tions and poor Italy la struggling now with one more bad mess. There remain Holland and Belgium , both of whose banks have raised their rates In self-protection. In these circumstances , unless you will oblige us with a few millions , the promise is that we shall be hard put to It to pay. our way In the next four months , and I fear that help from vol. Is too good to hope for. It follows that the present slackness of rates in our market is transitory. In otht > r respects our position Is strong. Our foreign trade /or September shows most' encouraging totals but the gains are duo moro to price than to quantity , and our business with the continent Is not , as a whole , progressive. High prices are telling severely on the consumption of copper and the exports of machinery are stagnant. In deed , but for the navy demands , the Iron and steel trades would bo backward , for foreign demands are slow In almost every direction. StocU Market Cnlni. The stock markets have taken the out break of hostilities with singular calmness. Even in the Kaffir circle prices have gone up , not down , partly because the bears have come In close , but much moro because the whole nation Is possessed with the Idea that the war will be an affair otr three months. Sir Redvers Buller expects to be In Pre toria at tho-latest by January 31 , and hla estimate la fully trusted. So a steady stream of small buying orders poured In after Wednesday for all Rand" mine shares of re pute , but most other departments were rather neglected , your railroads not more conspicu ously so than our own. Investment stocks yielding from 2 % to 1 per cent continue to suffer by the dearnces of money. The banks lent little below 5 per cent for end of the month accounts nnd borrowers often paid 5',4. These rates will bo deadly to those who have borrowed on such things as co lonial 3 per cent stocks If the market does not soon return to ease.

The president spoke as follows : "My Fellow Citizens : Wo have before us a great national problem. Wo have resting upon Us a great national duty , growing out of our war with Spain. When that war commenced there wrs llttlo or no division of sentiment among tUc people. Before the de claration of war the congress of the United States , under the leadership of our distin guished Senator Allison , voted fcr n national defense fund of $50.000,000 for the use of the government In Us discretion. It was voted practically without division In each house of congress. The senator assures me that It was done with absolute unanimity. When1 war was declared the resolution was voted for by all parties from all sections. The revenue bill wss passed with provisions for money to carry on the war. So that wo started into the war with Spain with all the people and all the representatives of the people standing together. The war came , and the war was ended sooner than any similar war In all history ; ended with the triumph of American arms ; ended In a triumph for I the cause of humanity. Having been united , In bringing on the war. having united In the I I conduct of the war , having been practically united In the conclusions of peace , the question Is , shall we stand together until the Job IB finished ?
