VVILKESBARRE. Pa.. Sept. 5.——Fifty
deputy sheriffs are now in charge of Ste-
vens’ coal mine, the scene of Saturday’s
riot. The strikers made no demonstra-

tended the funeral of their comrade, Leo-
pold \Vilcofski, who was killed in the
light with the policemen on Saturday.
The dead man was buried in the Polish
cemetery. The wounded men are im-
proving, and it is possible that the death
list will not be increased. Three more of
the strikers were arrested yesterday aft-
ernoon, charged with inciting to riot.
They were brought to “'ilkcsbarre and
lodged in the county jail.

[‘ke New Yacht Will Meet the Sham
rock to Defend America’s Cup.
NEWPORT, R. 1., Sept. 5.—-’In yester-
day’s race, the'SeC'Ond and last of the off:-
cial trial races for the settlement of a
defender of the America’s cup. the Co-
lumbia again demonstrated that she is
the peer ofthe Defender, the 1895 cham-
‘ pion, by defeating her in 10 minutes and
7 seconds over a triangular course in an
eight knot‘breeze and a smooth sea.
.Tne'contest was a procession through-
out, with the Columbia leading at the
start by 13 seconds and gaining on every
leg of the course. The first leg was a
reach from the starting line at Brenton’s
reef lightship southeast one-half east to _
a flag mark, a distance of ten miles, and
from the moment the Columbia crossed .
the line she steadily sailed away from
'herri-ival, gibing round the first.mark 3
Iminutesand 36 seconds ahead.
VThesecond leg was also afreach, a lit-
tlebrciader than the first, but even if the
Defender did set her spinnaker a mileI
from the turn she dropped 2 minutes and-
19 secondsimore in the run to the. second
mark. . '
The third‘leg of the triangle was al-
most a dead heat tothe finish, the two
boats making a long hitch clear up to the
*Narragansett shore.. The Columbia made
*two'other short tacks before! she fetched-
the line, but. the Defender, by holding
longer inshore, managed to reach the'
lightship without another tack. Still the
Columbia gained, showing that with
sheets elose hauled she is the fastest
American sailing yacht afloat. ,On this
last leg she added 4 minutes. and 22 sec-
ends to her lead, making a total for the
‘ entire course of110 minutes and 7 sec-
onds. There will be no more official races,
that of yesterday settling conclusively in
the minds of the committee which of the
two boats is best fitted to meet Sir Thom—
as 'Lipton’s challenger, the Shamrock.

spin of the latest aspirant for interna-
tional yachting honors, Sir Thomas Lip-
ton’s Shamrock, in racing trim, occurred.
in American waters yesterday. The spin
occupied about three hours, and the
yacht covered about 30 nautical miles,
although she did not sail over any pre~
scribed course. At times she traveled at
a rate of about 12 knots an hour, judged
by the speed of a tugboat whose power
is well known. The breezewas strong
throughout the day and attimes attained.
a velocity of 15 knots an hour. After

"Chambers will not speak for the present,
I well as to Secretary Hay.
Judge Chambers 1: In Washington
to Confer-”With ‘Ofllciall.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 5.—Chief Jus-
tice Chambers of Samoa is here to confer
with officials and to submit his report to
the three powers represented in Samoa.
While avoiding. a discussion of pending
diplomatic questions, Judge Chambers,
when seen yesterday, spoke in an inter-
esting manner on some of the general
conditions in Samoa and also cleared up
some misapprehension as 'to his own
status and plans. Notwithstanding re-
ports of his resignation Judge Chambers
states that he has not resigned, but, on
the contrary, that he still holds the posi-
tion of chief justice of Samoa. In this
position, moreover, he is: sustained by the
state department, which is acting on the
theory that he is in full possession of the
office although temporarily absent. He
also pointed out that it has been fre-
quently stated that becomes to \Vash-
ington to: report to the state department,
whereas he was chosen chief justice by
all three-governments—the United States.
Great Britain and ermany-and his re-
ports are made in triplicate to all of
them. It was this, he is inclined to think,
which led to some exception being taken
by one of the signatory powers, as some
of the criticisms which he found neces‘
sary to express as to the course of an
official of that government, were furnish-
ed to it as well as to the United States.
In that way Great Britain and Germany
havebeen at all times informed of every-
thing that Judge Chambers has reported
to the United States, and in some in-
stances this frankness of intercourse has
led to differences.
As' to the troubles in Samoa between
him and. Consul General Rose, Judge
but intimates that they will be quite fully
covered in his report to thethree govern-
ments. The report will be sent direct to
Lord Salisbury and Prince Hohenlohe as
Speaking of American interests in'
Samoa, Judge Chambers said: i
“We have a magnificent harbor at .
Pago Pago, and from the magnitude of?
the improvements which the government 3
is making it may be inferred we intend -
to stay there. The second largest coal
warehouse in the world is under con-
struction at a cost of something like
$400,000.”
President Will Not Go West.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 5.—Senator
Carter of Montana, who has just return‘

ference with the president, stated that l

Mr. McKinley would be compelled to:
give up his contemplated trip through ;
the west. He would attend the comma: 2

stone of the Chicago postoffice building ‘

ble that he would get farther west than
Chicago.
