After ciossing the line at ex actly the nemo moment, six seconds aft.-r gunfire, with Constitution in the wmJ ward berth, Columbia worked out and get ting its wind free forged ahead. Constitu tion tnc.KOCi on suure mm " lacked off shore and shortly arier Columbia followed. From theu on to tha ulndwiml murk It was nothing but a mealy gain for the old boat and when both nail ' rounded it was found that Columbia h'-d ruined four minutes and fifty-live seconi the worst beating Constitution had yet re ceived. On the second leg the wind felt light After rounding the second mark four min utes and thirty seconds behind and starting for homo Constitution carried up about all the wind there was nnd passed Its rival.

Columbia set its uplnnuker, but the wind hauling, took It In ugalu In a few minutes. Constitution lowered Its nplnnakor pole, but did not set tho wall. Under Its balloon Jib topsail it crawled up slowly and at 5:38 It passed , f!nln:nhla. The wind camo a little rresuer and Constitution Increased Its lead. It freshened still more whun Columbia luffed out nnd passed Constitution with singular rapidity und was a quarter of a inllu In the lead when the time limit was up.

The vice presi dent has had a strenuous day. Arriving over the Milwaukee road this morning bu was the orator of the day at the formal opening of the Minnesota state fair, by In- j vltatlon of the Minnesota Agricultural society, spoke at a reception following the exercises; was u guest, oi me association on the grounds and reviewed the artillery of Vansant nuked the ladles to waive their handkerchiefs and the men to give three cheers, '.he "csult was a response which the vice president will long remember. The audience was responsive throughout the vice presldent'ii address and ho had frequently to pause before ho could make himself heard. The vice president In beginning his ad dress paid a high tribute to the character and o- crgy of his hearers, descended, be ; said, from a race of pioneers which bad I pushed westward into the wilderness and laid the foundations for new common wealths. The men with ax and pick and plow, who, ho said, had pushed to com pletion the dominion of our people over the American wilderness, had shown by their qualities of daring, endurance and far sightedness that they recognized In practi cal form the fundamental law of success In American life the law of worthy work; the law of resolute, high endeavor. Continuing he Raid: llel -itii .Mnn nml Mnn. "It seems to me that the simple accept ance of this fundamental fact of American lite, will help us to start aright in facing not a few of the problems that confront us from without and from within. We cannot possibly do our best as a nation unless all of ub know how to act in combination ns well as to act each Individually for himself. This acting in combination can take many forms, but of course Its most effective form must be when It comes In shape of law; that is, of action by the community as a whole through the law-making body. No bard and fast rulo can be laid down as to where our legislation shall stop In interfer lng betwen man and man, between Interest and Interests. All that can be said Is that it Is highly undcrslrable, on the one band, to weaken Individual Initiative, and, on the other hand that in a constantly increasing number of cases we shall find It necessary in the future to shackle cunning ns In the past we have shackled force. It is not only highly desirable, but necessary that there should be legislation which shall carefully shield the interest, of wageworkers, and which shall discriminate in favor of the honest and human employer by removing the disadvantage under which he Btands when compared with unscrupulous competi- tors who have no conscience and will do right only under fear of punishment. "Nor can legislation stop with what nre termed labor questions. The vaBt individual and corporate fortunes, the vast combina tions of capital, which have marked the development of our Industrial system, create new conditions and necessitate a change from the old attitude of the state and nation toward prosperity." There was. he contended, but tho scantcst Justification for most of the outcry against raeQ ol weaim, as sucn. auu u ougnt to tie unneccssary, he said, to state that any appeal, which finally entails the possibility of lawlessness and violence, was an attack upon the fundamental properties of Ameri can citizenship. "Our Interests aro at bottom common," he continued. "In tho long run we go up or down together. Yet more and moro It in evident that the stnte, and If necessary the nation, has got to possess the right of supervision and control ns regards tho great corporations which aro Its creatures, particularly as regards the great business combinations which derlvo a , portion of their Importance from tho existence of some monopolistic tendency." Cont'eriilnif Coiii-tlle ntliirm Ahroiitl, As to our relations with foreign powers, Vice President Roosevelt snld that our nation, while llrst of all seeing to Its own domestic well being, must not shrink from playing Its part among the great nations without. "Our duty," he said, "may take many forms In the future, as It has taken many forms In the past. Nor Is It posslblo to lay down a hard and fast rule for nil cases. We must ever face the fact of our shifting national needs, of the always changing opportunities that present them selves. But we may be certain of ono thlug. whether we wish it or not. we can not avoid hereafter haivng duties to do in the face of other nations. All that we cau do Is to settle whether we shall perform these duties well or 111." He counseled courtesy and respect In all dealings with any foreign power with whom the government might come lu contact. Oi this point he udded: "Let us make it evi dent that we Intend to do Justice. Then let us make It equally evident that we will not tolerate Injustice being done to ub In return. Let us further make it evident that wo use no words whl b we aro not pre pared to back up with deeds and thot while 1 om speech is always moderate, we are ' rrady and wllllug to mako It good. Such an nituuae win ne me surest possiDie guar- nnty of that self-respecting peace. American commonwealth nt the expense of any other, nor any policy of commercial discrimination against any foreign power whaisoover. Commercially, as far ns this doctrine is concerned, all we wish Is a fair field und no favor, but If we are wise we, Bhall strenuously Insist that under no pre text whatsoever shall there be any terri torial aggrendlzement on American soil by any European power, and this, no matter what form tho territorial aggrandizement may take." r.enernl Miles A Inn S'prnUa.

The matter will be re ported to tho postal authorities at once It is also charged thut the strikers stoned tho company currlagt- on Penn avenue this morning, but did no special dnmugc to the occupants. The aggressiveness of the strikers wus furthor demonstrated late this afternoon, when a mob surrounded William Jones, a colored man. who wns mletuketi for a noa union man from the Stur works. He mado a narrow escape from serious injury by the appearance of Police Lieutenant Cros man, who came to his rescue.
