I1EIILIN, Sopt. I, Emperor William's re
ception of the Chlnt'so mlaBlon of expiation
head (1 liy I'rlnco Chun, which took pines ti
day ut Potsdam, wan marked with all the
severity consistent with nn audience uoml
xinlly friendly.
The Chinese imperial envoy on coloring
thn palnco was not accorded n salute by
tho Onnle du Corps. The emperor received
him scntcd. Tho buttons and epaulettes
of his majesty's whlto uniform were en
veloped In crape. Prince Chun bowed
thrice nn entering and leaving. Emperor
William remained seated during tho read
ing of the Chinese nddress. Afterward,
liowovcr, ho relaxed his stern demeanor
nnd welcomed tho envoy courteously rnd
nuhsoqucntly, acrompanled hy his adjutant,
lio called upon I'rlnco Chun at tho Oran
Kcrle. Later In tho evening tho emperor,
J'rlnco Chun and n dozen members of the
oxplntory mission took tea on an Island In
tho Spree.
Tho emperor had evidently nrranged tho
entire ceremony with the view of Impress
ing I'rlnco Oh'-Ji that tho ceremony meant
expiation for a foul crime and only through
expiation had I'rlnco Chun acquired the
right to bo treated with princely honors.
Not until after tho ceremony did tho at
mosphere chaiiKe. Then tho troops outsldo
saluted, tho hands plnycd and the Hussars
escorted Prince Chun hack to the Ornngorlc.
('hlmimnii Plenty Men ml,
Tho Imperial envoy seemed deeply Im
pressed with the solemnity of tho ncca
nlon and when summoned to the throno
room ho showed visible embarrassment, lit
bowed repoateilly whllo approaching the
throno nnd hU voice was agitated while ho
was reading the Imperial nddrct3.
The entire manner of Emperor William
was calculated to Impress I'rlncc Chun with
the solemnly of tho ceremoulalo. He spoke
emphatically and seriously, emphasizing
particularly the word "civilized."
The rorcmony lasted only ten minutes,
In tho moanllno nix, Chinese dignitaries of
tho highest rank who woro halted In the
anteroom remained there perfectly motion
less and speechless, awaiting Prince Chun'tt
return with evident anxiety. I'rlnco Chun
rotlrecl backwards from tho throne room,
bowing profusely.
According to tlio Laknl Anzelger, tho
Chlncso envoy will breakfast tomorrow with
the empeior nnd empress.
Thoro was apparently but llttlo public

crowd watched I'rlnco Chun driving In the

war upon thnt country. It will show In
substance that Colombian troops on tho

PITTSHURG, Sept. 4. Agitation und un
easiness prevail In tho ranks ot tho
strikers tonight, caused by tho apparently
unfavorable developments of tho day. Tho
leaders, however, profess to bo satisfied
with present conditions and claim that
ultlmato victory will be theirs. Much was
hoped for from tho peace conference In
Now York, but tho announcement of tho
failure to reach a decision put a damper on
these hopes. President Shaffer's only re
mark, when shown tho announcement of the
adjournment without decision, wnB: "I havo
no comment to make,"
Tho following was handed to n representa

The above, together with tho telegram
received by Mr. Shaffer today from Mr.
Gompers of the American Federation of
Lnbor, denying that there was a meeting
In Buffalo to consider tho charges made by
Mr, Hlckey, would Indicate that tho charges
havo fallen tint.
The steel officials aro In n confident mood
tonight and appear to think the strike Is
broken effectually, nnd that only a few
days moro will bo required to mako It a
thing of thn past. Tho return of tho 400
tubeworkcrs at McKccsport nnd tho report
that 150 or moro went Hi nt tho I'er.nsyl:

Sheriff McKlnley and his eeventyWIve

the steol officials claim Increased numbers

Organizer Schwartz of the American fedcra- I
tton, who organized tho Pennsylvania tube

of tho men would return until President
Shaffer gave tho word. Mr. Schwartz said
not n man of tho organized tube workers at

that 150 of them hnd gono In today wait
false. A few laborers and repair men aro ut

NKW YOIIK. Sept. D. Tho World Saysi
"From private sources it is learned that
Columbia has been chosen to defend tho
America's cup und In consequence of this
decision thero will be no race today."
NKWPOIIT. U. I.. Sent. B. Tlio rnr...
, sentutlye of the Associated Press was uu
; able to confirm the report published In New
York that Columbia hnd been chosen to
defend the, America's cup. Tho committee
, at Its meeting last night expressed no
opinion oh to mo selection of a defending
ync
cm. ino question Deroro It was tho or
itigement of the racing problem and the
Clslon Wns not to havo a trie on Tlmr...
rati
do
day. It was said after tho meeting that
the
icro was notntng to prevent racing Frl
day nnd Saturday nnd next week, and that
races on thoso days aro expected.
NEWPORT. R. I., Sopt. -t.-Constltutlon
snlled a copltul race today against Colum
bia over a 'jourso fifteen miles to wlndwnrd
and back in n breeze whose force nvernged
nbout eight knots, Its greatest power being
twelvo knots uenr tho finish line.
Columbia won by seven seconds rorrected
time, Constitution beating Its rival boat
over tho course by forty-flvo seconds. This
docs not ncludo the allowance of twenty
one seconds or moro with which Constitu
tion stnrtcd. Hnd It not been hnndlcnpptd
it would have won. On the windward work
It gained on Columhln thirty-two Beeonds
,aud also twonty-two seconds on the run
homo before tho wind. In heavy putts
when close to the finish lino Itc balloon
Jib topsail split and caused n big tanglo
aloft, Columbia was compelled to haul
down its bollooner at the Baino lime, for
tho tquall carried away tho cringle nt tho
head of tho sail, but the big sail on Con
stltutlon refused to bo controlled and flut
tered In fragments. On tho other ban 1
Columbia hauled down its balloon Jib Up
sail In noamon-llke stylo nnd smartly bctut
Ing. on tho spinnaker halyards hoisted a
reaching Jlbtop gall in stops and, brcuklug
It out quickly, darted across tho lino a
winner.
Ifmiiperril hy TmiKleil Nnll.
In taking In spinnakers nbout twenty
minutes before tho flntrh lino wns reached
by tho leader Constitution's sail got tangled
nnd It took several minutes to get It on
deck. Whllo (lapping aloft tho bnlloon Jib
topsail had no opportunity to exert Its ut
most drawing power. All this tlmo Colum
bia bnllooner was doing good work and Its
victory was due to good Judgment. Thcro Is
no question that tho old main sail and tho
altered head sails of Constitution which It
carried today had much to do with tho Im
proved showing It made.
The handicap ut tho Btart seemed to bo
duo to a lack of smar'iies3 aboard Con
stitution and also to the moro nblo sea
Jockeying of thoso In chargo of Columbia.
Constitution allowed Itself to be forced on
tho wrong side of the line, wns compelled
to gybe around short on Its heel nnd then
to tako the other end of the lino, a deadly
hnndlcap. This and tho splitting of Its bnl
loon Jib topsail certainly lost It the race.
Had It not been for theso mishaps Con
stitution would' havo beaten Columbia by n
small margin, beyond tho one mluuto nnd
eleven seconds tlmo allowance over tho
thlrty-mllo course.
Thero will bo no rnco for the yachts to
morrow and, while tho challenge committee
held n meeting thlo evening, no announce
ment of future rnccB wns mado.
This 'morning In Newport harbor thorn
was scarcely u breath of nlr stirring. Thoro
seemed llttlo prospact cf n rare until 1:30
P. in., when a light southwesterly wind set
In, This soon freshened Into breezo and tho
outlook seemed Mattering for a good race.
Constitution, with Nat Herreshoff on board,
In addition to tho regular amateurs and pro
fessionals, was tho first to slip Its moorings
at noon and bent out to the stnrtlng lino.
At 1:40 p. m. snlls wore holuted on the
Narad a announcing, that the course would
bo south southwest fifteen miles to wind
ward nud return, Tho sea was smooth. The
yacht approached tho stnrtlng IJno ou tho
starboard tack with Columbia to wlndwnrd.
The Hailing master ot Columbia repeatod
his trick of bearing right down nn his rival
as If tn ram It, shaking tho wind out of Its
soils nnd then hiding tip and clearing It by
tho fiinnllesl of margin, Tho manauver lie
repented thrco times nnd finally luffed
across tho lino forty-snven second:) after
the starting gun. Constitution hnd plenty
of room to tnck, hut not raring to come
Into Htich close quarters with the enemy
gybed nnd crossed tho line twenty-two sec
onds after tho handicap gun,
Columbia Hun Ail viuidiuc.
Doth yachts stood on the port tnck toward
tho Narrugansolt shore, Columbia In the
weather berth, thus hnvlng n comninudlng
lend. For nenrly half nn hour tho yuchts
utood on tho port tack, with tho wind
freshening ns thoy sailed shoreward, until
It attained nbout a nine-knot forte. At
1:2.1 Constitution went on tho stnrbourd
Inrk, followed Immediately by Columblu.
Dy thin time tho snlls of Constitution had
stretched nnd It was seen that the old main
nail was far superior to tho new ono and
nlso that tho rotrlmmcd hcndsallB net bet
ter than thoso carried In tho race on Mon
day Constitution again at I .'CO went ou
the port tnck, Handing Inshore, and Colum
bia followed like a flush, For ten minutes
they hold this board und then ensued a sue
cebRlon of short tacks, At 2:03 Columbia
for tho tlmo on the port tack, crossed tho
bows of Constitution about an eighth of a
mllo nhend, For nenrly an hour tho yachts
continued to mako short tacks. Tho result
was far different from the tiniuo manouvcru
on Monday when Columbia beat Its rival
naurly five minutes on a beat out to wind
ward of ton miles. Constitution gained a
llttlo In thoto tnrks nud when It was ap
proaching the windward mark on tho stur
bnnrd tnck It had considerably diminished
the gap, Quito a fleet of steam yachts
had anFeinhled nt thn turn.
