paper, ' the essential ideas of which were
that the injury done the public by trusts
was through unreal competition, that , is,
the giving away of goods to destroy weak
rivals, or by selling goods below cost for

his rival Is trading dishonestly by giving
away his goods pr selling them below cost,
for. the purpose of discharging tha com
plaint, to fine the offending corporation to
such an extent as . will make It offer its

commerce clause and th fourteenth

KANSAS CITY IS ALARMED

Kansas Rivera Caaaea
Uneasiness.
KANSAS C1TT. Aug. Unprecedented
heavy ralna north and weat of Kansas City
hav caused th Kansas and Missouri riv
ers to rise suddenly to unusual heights and
the results may ,prove grave. A bulletin
Issued today by the local weather bureau
announced that the Kansas, or Kaw river.
would rise Xrom five to seven fest at Kan
sas City In the next forty-eight hour and
a rise of equal magnitude, it la stated, is
coming this way down the Missouri. The
fact that th Missouri will rise alsrf is
causing anxiety here, as It Is believed It
will, retard the flow of .tho Kansas rfver at
the' mouth of tho latter stream and en
danger the temporary 'bridges, as well a
the railway yards and heavy business In
terests In th west bottoms. Two of th
temporary pll bridges here wer cart-ted
6ut by last week's rise and others were
damaged. It ts feared that the expected rise
may carry out more of them. The current
Is swift and It carries much drift wood! It
the bridges go out it would cripple the
trafflo of the big packing houses and other
establishments across ths Kansas river
from here and cut oft communication ex
cept by boat between the two Kansas
Citys. ,
The Kansas river here today rose three
feet in ten hours and Is still rising rapidly.
At Lawrence this stream rose four feet
during the night, and at Topeka It Is also
up about four feet.
At Manhattan, where the Big Blue emp
ties Into the Kansas, the latter stream has
risen seven feet In the last twenty-four
hours. At that point the Blue has broken
from Its banks and Is cutting across the
country, taking a short course to th Kan
sas river. Many farm ar -deep under
water. At Stockdale.. eight miles north of
Manhattan, the Blue Is slightly higher than
during the great June flood. Farmer con
tinue to move their . stock and household
effects to higher places. Several small
washouts are reported on the Union Paclflo

provide for payment at a date before de
livery of the directory and advertisement.
If the merchant refuses he Is persuaded
to sign a blank application for a sample

NKW YORK. Aug. 27,-Wlth Reliance less
than Vi third of a mile from the finish and
Shamrock HI hull-down on tho horlson,
fully two miles astern of the gallant de
fender, the fourth race of the present aeries
for the America's cup today was declared
off because of the expiration of the lime
limit of five and one-half hours, as hap
pened on Thursday last. Although officially
It was no race the defeat administered to
the challenger was So Ignominious that
what sver lingering hope remained In the
breasts of the friends of Sir Thomas' boat
vanished. Reliance' victory waa in every
way more decisive than that of last Satur
day. Shamrock was Outsailed, outpointed
and outfooted from start to finish.
Reliance beat Shamrock hopelessly In the
work fifteen mile to windward, rounding
the outer mark twelve minutes and thirty
seconds ahead of It, a gain in actual time
ot eleven minutes and twenty-nine seconds.
Down ' tho wind it steadily increased Its
lead. The real Interest of the day waa not
against Shamrock, but was in the excttlng
struggle of Reliance In the last half hour
to reach the finish line before the regatta
committee fired the giin which should an
nounce the expiration of the time limit.
Shamrock Badly Handle1.
Had Reliance finished fifteen minutes

rock would have gone back to England one
ot ihe most disastrously defeated chal
lengers In the history of the cup contests.
Fully as discouraging as the sailing quali
ties displayed by the challenger waa the
manner In which It was handled. The
Yankee skipper not only out-maneuvered
his rival In the spectaoular battle for his
posltl&n at the start,' which he has done
every time they have met, but, worse still
for the downhearted supporters of Sham
rock, Captain Wrlnge repeated his blun
der of Tuesday. He crossed the line in
the wake of Reliance with a handicap of
sixty-one of the precious second for which
Designer Fife has sacrificed to much in
sallspread f6r time allowance. Both boats,
it is true, went over In the smoke of the
handicap gun, but where both are handi
capped. It is only the sternmost craft
which actually suffered.
New Flag on Ocean.
It wa not a pleasant day on the water,
and the observation fleet, which put out
to sea to-witness the race, was hardly more
than half as large as on the preceding
days'. It was notable for a strange flng
on th ocean, th combination of th
French and Spanish colors of the St. Louis
exposition, flying from the peak of ih
steam -yacht Reva.-
There was a chill In the atmosphere.
Low, wet olouds shut out the sky and
tha mist wreathe on the aea mads every
thing look ghost-like and Indistinct, The
dark water of th ocean was aa smooth
aa a floor an3 a light breeze of about four
knots blew out ot the aouthwest. The
courae waa mid fifteen -mile dead Into 'tha
wlndj and raturn.,-. . .,,
At Uha end of . tho first hour Shamrock
waa . beaten, and the Interest waned.
After rounding, the float for - the . run
horn and settling big ballooners, the wind
which. had strengthened to six or seven
knot on,;the beat, died down and the
towering clouds of canvas drifted Jaxlly
down an ocean lane a mile wide between
tha two .divisions of the-excursion - fleet.
Reliance Good fn Light Wind.
Even fn light air it was astonishing how
the defender slipped through the placid
seas. AVith the' gerttle breexe distending
the surface of 'Its pure white sails and Its
stern- crowded. with bars to hold Its head
up, It 'moved alontf. s serenely and
peacefully 'as" if In a 'dreamless sleep. Yet
th gap between It and the challenger
steadily widened- tuntll - two miles sepa'
rated them. ..Half u fcevr from bom when
the spectators had. abandoned any Idea
that the flniali llne.cquld b reached . In
tlma, tha wind suddenly freshened and
Reliance came bowling, dowu at a merry
clip. But the wind had come too late and
when atlli a few hundred yards from home
the gun on the! tug Navigator boomed
across, the. water. -The excursion boats
held on until. Reliance crossed the Una to
give It a rousing welcome and then scam
pered for New York. Sir Thomas, - who
heretofore, has always followed his cham
pion into the- Hook, .sent his steam yacht
Erin ahead at full speed aa if to drown
out the mempry of the inglorious licking
he got today.
The next race, which will be like the
one attempted today, fifteen miles to lee
ward or windward and return, will be
sailed on Saturday.
Defeat for Boat and Skipper,
Not only Shamrock III,, but Captain
Wrlnge, whom Sir Thomas Upton had pro
nounced the best racing skipper in Great
Britain at getting Ms boat over the start
ing line, waa defeated today. The prelim
inary Jockeying and start waa the prettiest
exhibition of skill and seamanship in the
series. It was a contest for the windward
position. Only once did Captain Barr lose
It and then he promptly regained It. For
fifteen minutes preceding the start he held
the British boat tuckerl neatly under the
leo wing of the defender, despite Captain
Wrlnge's best efforts to clear his boat.
When it was over and the boats slipped
across the line Barr bad a splendid victory
to his credit. The wind, which was from
the southeast and blowing at four knots,
was Just dimpling the smooth sea when
the committee tug flew the course signal
Indicating a ftfteen-rqil beat to windward
and run horn.
When th preparatory gup sounded at
10:45 th racer wer sailing parallel to th
starting Una and to windward of It with
Reliance to the windward, where . Barr
wanted It. At the end of the line Shamrock
luffed and tried to force Barr about, but
the Yankee would not. yield and Wrlnge
had to Oil up and go away. Shamrock
aoon dropped back and luffed to windward
of Reliance. That was th only time Barr
wa caught to Ueward.
Barr Make Good. . .
Luffing hard he sailed' a circle around th
challanger, blanketed It aa the atartlng gun
sounded, and bore off under the atern of
the lightship and luffed across the line with
a handicap of forty-one seconds. Shamrock
ill followed, handicapped by one minute
and forty-two seconds,' On minute and one
second of which -Was dead loss. The official
starting time for both boat was 11:02, but
their actual start as timed by the regatta
committee was, Reliance, 11:02:41; Shamrock
HI. 11:03:42. Captain Wring had lost the
best part ot his time allowance. Reliance
was leading by about too yards.
Ohce across the line they held the port
tack a few minutes and then went about
headed eastward. 'Reliance was a good bit
up to windward and hanging on to Its wind
ward position,' while Shamrock III tried to
make up 'for It by 'footing the faster. In
the ht tsek, twertty-flve minutes after
the start, Fharrimok had lost ground, and
as they lnld about' the me course was
shout a quarter 'of a mile astern1 of the
Amerlcari craft. The hosts were heeling
gently, slipping' along at a - remarkable
pace, cortsldcring-tinw light the air was,
and foot by foot Reliance waa working
away from Its rival.
Reliance Shaw anteriority.
Barring accidents or fluke the re had
bee.i won at 12:20 when the red lightship
waa not more than tve mllos alee, and
Reliance three-quarters .of a mile dead to
windward and persistently outpointing Sir
Thomas Llpton's forlorn hope. Ten min
utes later, when about six miles of the
course had been covered, Reliance tacked,
but aa Shamrock HI kept on, promptly
went about again. Then Shamrock HI
went about and Reliance followed. Barr
waa unwilling to split tacks, aa h had
Shamrock beaten and only needed to hold
It where It waa.
At 1:02, when the turning mark waa
rising above th horlson flv mile away,
Reliance appeared to be a good mile ahead
of Shamrock III and.gslnlng. Both boat
began to make short hitches for tha mark,
Shamrock III following ault whenever Re
liance went about. Three legs brought Re
liance within a few hundred yards of the
turn at 1:46 where It laid a straight course
for th mark. As It want about Shamrock
III was coming on at a alow pace in a
aoft wind.
The time at the turn - was: Reliance,
1:66:10; Shamrock III, 2:07:40. It was evi
dent that the yachts were covering about
flv mile an hour.
Little Hope for a Race.
They had been three hours In beating
fifteen miles and unless th wind should
freshen there waa small prospect of their
covering th fifteen mllos horn In th
hour and a half remaining. Once head
ing homeward balloon Jib topsails wer
broken out and spinnakers set to port on
both. They dawdled along in exasperating
fashion while an hour slipped away. Not a
change took place on either ot the yachts,
nor did there seem to be any relative dif
ference In their positions. Reliance wa
losing Its race against time, and at 4 p.
m. had little hope of getting across the
line by 4:32, when the time limit of five
and one-half hours would expire. The de
fender waa six miles from tha finish when
Its sails felt a slight wind from the south
west. Its spinnaker Was smothered and
It laid a reach homeward. Hope revived
only to be dashed. Five minutes afterward
when the wind again backed to th south
east, Its spinnaker waa again set.
The wind freshened a bit as th defender
n eared the line. - It was still a quarter
of a mile distant from the line when tha
navigator gave notice that th race was
off. Reliance kept on and crossed at 4:S:45,
six minutes and forty-five seconds behind
the time limit. Meantime Shamrock III
had caught a freshening southwest breexe,
taken In its spinnaker and was reaching
for the line at a better clip than at any
time during the race, but when the finish
gun waa fired the challenger began to
take In sails and before It reached the
lightship was carrying nothing but a bal
loon Jib topsail. It did not cross the finish
line.
Owner Talk ot Flake.
SANDY HOOK. N. Y., Aug. 27.-Both
boats cam up quickly to tho Hook after
the failure to finish and took up their
anchorages. Sir Thomas, speaking of to
days affair, aald:
"I am willing to repeat what I said this
morning. I still have hop, Blight though
It. Is. Let us hope for a spanking good
breeee. Saturday. :-1 called my friends
around roe this afternoon and waa about to
express my , regret at my failure when I
happened to look at my watch. Then 1
reserved decision, and u may never have
to mak th apetcb."
,Mr. IseUn and Captain Barr declined to
talk, except that, Mr. Isolln regretted that
th wind was not. sufficient to bring the
boats In on time, . ..
