Its rival. Both v.'crfc on the port tack , to
the southward of the lightship. Finally ,
vhen but seven sccjfl.ls remained. Columbia
w. re around beautifully , while Shamiork
tacktd In the oth'-r direction , nnd thus mak
ing two illve"Rnt circles they came around
on the starbriird tack and headed for the
line
A 'olll'l \\osalmfst Inovltible had they
approached each other at nn acute angle
under the Ice cf the lightship. Hut
Shamrock establl'hed an overlap anl
Columbia had to keep off , and almrst to-
ecihcr thi y bounded away In the smoke of
the gun , eo close that a sailor might have
. stepped from one Ixnt to the o'.hor.
Shamrock was perhaps half a length ahead
end In the windward berth. BJth had their
fihc-'s trtaime.l straight aft , nnd as It went
orrofs , Columbia Bet Its biby jibt psall.
H was broken out and sheet-d home in eight
seconds.
But the smartncM of the Yankee boat in
betting its sail did not compensate the pa
triots for the disappointment they puttered
on ac ount of Shjtnrock'B superior gcn-
rralshlp In getting the weather gauge. But
their disappointment wa % shTt-live 1.
Columbia was blanketed mvl tht patriots
expected to fee It drop astern. In otcad It
gathered headway and went through
Shamrock's leo like a race hcrse. Madly
It fortcd and In live minutes It was clear
of Its adversary. Five minutes later
Shamrosk went about on the port tack , but
the Yankee held on for a minute , to be
lure of the weather gauge.
C'olulillilli HIICM Fine Work.
As both heeled away on this lack It
zoomed Columbia would repeat its per
formance of ycstcrdav , for It footed faster
and p'clnted higher. Fifteen minutes after
the start It was 300 yards well out on
the green boat's weather bow und forging
ahead at every bound. Shamrock did
not set Its handkerchief forward , evidently
believing from its experience Monday that
U knocked It off the wind. Captain Ilognrth
was able to keep It clospr , but he could not
tibld It as high as the while beauty.
Columbia's head sail lifted Its head out of
the waves and made It splash more spray
as Its bow went smashing Into the long
swells. The experts thought this made It
spill wind out of Its sails. But they had
no heart to criticise the Bristol wonder , as
It ate Its way to wlpdwurd. Meantime
the great mass ot oxcurfilon boats chased
after the big flyers and the wind was fresh
ening until It blew fifteen to sixteen knots.
About i twenty minutes after the yachts
were started some of the sharps , with their
Classes glued on the two beau , noticed that
Shamrock's topmast appeared to sag
. little. Several tlnieo it was lulfed up
sharply. "She won't carry that club over

Suddenly , at 12 24 the big kite and the
nholo top hamper of the green boat tumbled
t > ver to loownril and the stately challenger
was a , holplcefl cripple. Its big sail fell
llfelefcfj like the wing of a bird hit by the
hunter , ami It lay on the water helpless.
No one In the excursion boats knew what
had happened , except that the clubtopeall
had been carried away , nnd It was almost
a cry of agony that went up from the sight
seers , Never were there more sincere ex
pressions of regret than when Shamrock
were slowly around and gave up ,
Columbia wmt on , an It was hound
under the rules to do , but several of the
steam yachts wout over alongside Krln
as It loft thn line to go to Its wounded
champion.
Commodore Benedict wna one of the first
lo get alongside and expressed his sincere
regrets over the hard luck which had be
fallen the challenger. Sir Thomas took all
the cxproKslins In the- spirit In which
they worn meant and philosophically replied
that It wts the fortune of war.
A largo number of the vessels of the ex
cursion licet continued over the course with
Columbia , but the Interest of the spec

with alKUt 100 of Sir Thomas Upton's guwts
and friends ahoard , left Its anchornKc In the j
Horseshoe at about 10 o'clock on the way to
the stnkcboat. When Shamrock went
over the starting ? line today all hnnils agreed
that It was being beautifully handled and
that It would be able to hold Its own , and so
It appeared frcim Krln's deck until end-
denly the topmast niinpped. At this time
a hundred glasses were leveled en the racers
from Erin's decks. Suddenly sime one
shouted : "Shamrock's In trouble ; look at
its topsail Muttering. "
"Its topmast has snapped , " cried another ,
and then there came cries of consternation
and dismay from all parts ot Erin as It
became apparent that the mishap was a
fatal one.
Sir Thomas , on the torldgo. never flinched
nor changed countenance. Turning to Dr.
Mackle and Captain Matthew * , who stood at
his elbow , he said In a calm , low voice :
"Wo had hotter go to Its auslstance , cap
tain. Some one may be injured and require
your services , doctor. "
To a gentleman who expressed sympathy
Sir Thomas replied : 'It's too bad , that's
true , hut It eannot be helped , and we must
make the best of It. "
Ei In c-amo alongside thn crippled
racer. Dr. Mackle shouted through the
megaphone to those on board :
"Is any one Injured ? Sir Thomas wishes
to know. "
A dozen voices shouted back a negative
reply and Sir Thomas looked relieved.
"It doesn't matter EO much , " he said ,
"new that wo know that no ono was killed
or crippled. "
When asked If he blamed any one for the
accident he leplicd :
"Oh , no , Indeed , It couldn't be a avoided ,
I am sure. It was probably caused by a
loose bolt or a broken backstay. No ono
appears to have been at fault in the matter.
Wo will fix It up and try It again. Perhaps
we will be more fortunate another time.
"When I eaw Its topmast go , " he added ,
"I experienced such a ahock as I never felt
in all mv lifo bofore. "
Some one then suggested the hope that the
wind-die and , the race might not bo lost to
Shamrock after all.
"I wish for nothing of the kind. " Bald Sir
Thomas , emphatically. "Under the condi
tions governing the contest we have lost
this race as fairly as If we had gone over
j the course without a mishap and the other
boat had finished first. I would not under
any circumstances wish or concent that this

CHICAGO , Oct. 17. The opposition of the
anti-expansionists to the nubjugatlon of the
rillplnos took tangible form today In the
meeting of about IfiO delegates from different
parts of the country to launch a cruoadc
against the policy of the administration In
the Philippines. The meeting was called to
order In Central Music hall by Temporary
Chairman IMwIn llurrltt Smith cf Chicago.
The committee on organization of the con
ference was appointed as follows : George
0. Mercer , Philadelphia ; Prank N. Scott ,
Chicago ; Dana ICstcs , lloston ; Louis It.
Ehrlch , Colorado Springs , Colo. , and Paul
F. Koste , St. Louie.
Owing to the Illness of his wife , George
H. Doutwell could not be present , but a
letter from him was read.
J. Sterling Morton presided at the evening
fitralon and , upon introducing Carl Pchurz.
who delivered the address of the evening ,
spoke as follows :
Kach day Is a page nnd every year n chan
ter in thnt vast volume of time railed n
century. In our genenitlon the llnnl pftes
of the concluding chapter of the nineteenth
century me written.
Aftrr l.POO years of Christianity , of Intel
lectual growth anil of n constantly Ini-
nrovlnjf civilization , In which the tender
kindness anil loving teachings of thp gentle
.Naznrcno have been thrown like light Into
the uttermost nurt < - of the earth , we wit
ness the most phenomenal paradox In gov
ernments which the race has ever expert-
etieed. The mallc < l halnl of a great empire ,
directed by the benevolent mind of the czar
of Russia , inscribes peace on earth and
Rood will to 'irmn iicross the closing pages
of the nineteenth century , as Its earnest and
sincere aspiration. The government of
missl.i , n government with the largest
standing army in the world , dec-lares for
nl.H.-iimnment nnd proposed universal peace.
Hut the Kient republic of the United States ,
founded by Washington , Franklin , Jefferson
and their compatriots , declares for w r.
conquest , subjugation nnd annexation.
Russia would be the peace-maker ; the.
United States the war-maker. In till his
tory there Is not another sn striking ami
Inexplicable nn nntltliPals. Never before In
the unnals of the world have been recorded
two such departures by establish govern
ments from the revered principles , noUcles
nnd cborl hed traditions of their founders.
Imperialism turns from war nnd coiuiue.st
to exalt peace , but democracy seemingly
drifts toward defpotlym and would hold
conquered peoples as subjects and thc'r do-
nmlnr as provinces
Under these circumstances this assembly
of citizens bus been convoked. They have
come together to take counsel , not as parti
sans to promote the power of a political 01-
ganlzation , but nn American citizens , as
patriots to promote the welfare of their
countrymen nnd to ndvtae for thp better es
tablishment and safer perpetuation of this
government by the people They have the
right to thus peaceably assemble nnd. wlth-
! out tnunt or disparagement of those who
may differ with them , to make solemn In
quiry a ? to what Is the best course for this
republic when , as now. there may come
dangers to Its most vital principles throunn
the subversion of either Its legislative or Its
executive powers.
That there are thousands of patriotic
citizens of the United States who do not be
lieve that It Is wise to acquire distant. In-
sulnr domains and attempt to make , thorn
a part of this republic no one can doubt.
The phrase. "United States , " originally dis
tinctly conveyed the Idea of a government
made up of separate states which wore
erected out of contiguous or adjacent tcrrl-
torv. There could never have been created
n federal government of united states out
of separated Islands like those in the Gulf
of Mexico anil those in the Pacillc Archi
pelago. And the question now is : Can the
United States absorb , assimllatD' an < l con
trol such Islands ami govern- them .nnd tliBir
millions of people and maintain .a lopub-
llcan form of government ? Can the United
States contimm und stand ujion tin- con
sent of part of the governed it ml upon the
sublug-ation of the other part ? .
We. are assembled here for the purpose of
avoiding danBors to this sacied Instrument
ami the Institutions which It has estab
lished and fostered. In. the language-of
Victor HIIRO :
"Tho nineteenth century glorifies the

President J. M. Hunter arrived hero last

the 2.000 miners employed by the Spring
Valley Coal company. The men all struck
. and the supply of coal from this point will
drop 5 , GOO tons dally until a settlement Is
made. The difficulty which brrught on the
strike LB alleged to hnvo been the refusal of
General Manager Dalzcll to stop union dues
at the company's office.
| At a mass meeting held this afternoon ,
nt which 2,000 miners .wqre prcsejit , they
1 endorsed the action of St'atp President Hun

A resolution was passed to the effect that
before the men returned to work General
Manager Dalzcll of the Spring Valley Coal
company would bo compelled to recognize
the state and sub-dlatrlct agreements , which '
tbo resolution alleges to have been violated.
Mr. Hunter and State Vice President Rus

Mr. Henry Labouclicie , liberal member for

"If there had been no Rhodes or If Lord

said Mr. Labouchero , "there would have

Michael Davltt , member for South JIayo ,

ing that 'oulaldo of jingo circles and stock

A gentleman connected with the Xe\\berry
library , Chicago , hi s gone very carefully
through the medical department , consulting
and compiling-from the heat works of this
country and abroad , on the value of coffee ,
There IK abundance of evidence to show
that In some cages coffee , used as a stimu

"One of the highest authorities In materla

'Caffeine , which IH the stimulating part of
coffee , is , In general terms , a stimulant first
and subsequently a pnrnlyzant to the ncrvn

tha heart and raises arterial tension. Larger
doses often ovor-stlmulato the cerebral clr-

, Hashes of light before the eycf , Insoriinla ,
restlessness , and ev'nu delirium. Admlnls-
1 torcd in sufllcient quantity , it would doubt
less prove fatal to man.1

that the paramount power in South Africa

Unron Ilarnard seconded the address.
The carl of Klmlicrlcy , the liberal leader ,
tald Parliament had been summoned at a
rolemn moment , vhen nrltons fnnnd i hem-
sol ye i i-tiRagpcl In n war whlcli was. In some
of Its aspects , n. elvll war. Of course Itas
not i\ civil war precisely , but It was n war
In which a number of British subjects , not
of the British rnce , were deeply engaged.
"HbR.irdlng the calling out of the reserves
nnd the voting of supplies , " continued hla
lonlRlilp , " 1 can speak with no doubtful
voice. Whatever may be our opinions as to
the pnpt history of this melancholy Inislncsr.
we as ready ns usual to give our support to
whatever measures may bo uccetsary to
vindicate the honor of the nation nnd pro
tect Ita Interests. "
Lord Klmberley said the government
could not have sent any other reply thaa
It did to the extraordinary ultimatum of
tlio Tr.insvanl. He warmly praised the
readiness of the reserves ami expressed en
tire confidence that the llrltlsh soldier
would do his duty In South Africa in the

past.

Lord Klmberley , In closing , i-rltlclscd the
tone of Mr. Chamberlain's recent speeches ,
. "lUI.Hliur.v ItriillcH.
The premier , the matquls of Salisbury , re
plying to Lord Klmberley'e criticism of the
negotiations , said :
"The Ilotr government was pleased to dis
pense with any legislation on our part re
specting the causes or Justification of the
war , It has done what no provocation
on our part could have Justified. H has
done what the strongest nation has never In
Its strength done to nny opponent It had
challenged. It issued a ded.inco EO nudic-
lous that I could scarcely depict It without
using words unsulted fcr this assembly , and
by eo doing It liberated this country from
the necessity for explaining to tha people of
nuglaml why wo arc nt war. Hut for this no
ono could have predlctc-1 thiit wo would ever
bo at war.
"There have been very grave questions
between us , but up to the time of the ulti
matum the modes we have suggeatcd of
settling them were successful and the spirit
with which we were met was encouraging.
We had lately hoped that the future had
In reserve for us a better f.Ue. Hut now
all question of possible peace , all question
of Justifying the attitude we had assumed
and all question of pointing out the errors
and the grave oppression of which the
Transvaal government has been guilty all
these questions have been wiped away in this
ono great Insult which leaves us no other
course than the one which has received the
assent of the whole nation , nnd which It Is
our desire to carry out.
"It Is n satisfactory feature of our policy
during these later days that on questions
Involving the vital Interests and honor of
the country there arc no distinctions of
party. "
Tha premier concluded by dealing briefly
with the government's future policy In
South Africa , declaring that while there
must be no doubt as to the paramountcy
of the sovereign power of Great Urltaln
there must also be no doubt that the white
races In South Africa would be put on an
equality and duo precautions taken for the
"philanthropic , friendly and Improving treat
ment of those countless Indigenous races
of whcso destiny I fcnr w-e have hitherto
been tco forgetful.
"Those things must bo insisted upon In
future , " exclaimed Lord Salisbury. "Ily
vtfbjj 'm/saiib / t'liey ' are to be obtained do
npt Ip0ttI ? liopq they.may boconsistent ,
with a , very largo amount of autonomy on
the part of a race which values its indi
vidual Bharo in government as much as the
Dutqh people do. But with that question
we are not concerned now. We have only
to make It clear that the- great objects of
Great Britain in South Africa are the good
government of South 'Africa ' and the rights
of all the races concerned. " '
After a few unimportant speeches the
House of Lords agreed to the addrees and
adjourned.
Henry Labouchere , liberal me-mber for
Northampton , will move an amendment to

Henry Seaton-Karr , conservative member
