American Yacht Proves Superior In Running and Reaching, Lipton’s Bout In Beating—Behavior Un- der a. Breeze Uncertain. NEW YORK, Oct. 6.—-Again the sea has refused the Shamrock and Columbia a field of conflict, again the multitude which went out to sea to watch the con- testants for the international yachting championship of the world returned dis- appointed and not a little disgusted. The question of supremacy of the two great yachts is still as much an open question as before they first met, as the contest yesterday was in some respects more of a fluke than that of Tuesday. It was a drifting match almost from start to fin- ish. Crossing the line with a breeze of five knots, it never blew more than six, most of the time less than three, and part of the time not a breath of air was stirring. After sailing 4 hours and 45 minutes, the yachts having covered only 12 miles of the course to the outer mark, the regatta ’ committee declared the race ofi, as it was manifestly impossible, with the breeze then blowing, for the fleet racers to round the stake before the time limit ex- pired, much less to get back home again. During the time in which the yachts were at it the wind, which carried them dead before it over the line, had hauled around until at the finish they were heat- ing into its teeth. While the wind held astern the Columbia steadily outfooted her 1ival until she was fully half a mile ahead, but in the shifting, baffling winds that followed during the last three hours, with the great single stickers tacking and beating and gybing to catch every streak of wind, with fortune helping one about as much as the other, the Shamrock gradually worked her way up until, when the race was declared off, the two boats were about on even terms, the Shamrock perhaps half a length ahead, but so close was the Yankee that Captain Barr could have thrown a biscuit to the foreigner from over the sea. The only lesson learned by the nautical sharps from yesterday’s trial: of the abili- ties of the two boats is that in light weather conditions the Columbia is the superior in running and reaching and the Shamrock slightly better in beating. There has yet been no indication of what either boat can do in a piping whole sail breeze. As soon as the committee boat had hoisted the signal letters, “D. C. L.,” making the course 15 miles southeast by south, dead before the wind and return, a pufling tug steamed straight out to sea to plant the outer mark, which neither of the racers was destined to round yes- terday. There was some pretty maneu- vering behind the line before the start, each breaking out its balloon jib and low- ering its spinnaker boom as they jockey- ed for positiOn. Both got across in the smoke of the last gun, the white beauty a length ahead and in the windward berth. The wind was blowing hardly five knots. As she crossed, the green boat broke out her spinnaker, which was in stops. It is an English fashion to hoist this sail from the boom, and the Sham- rock in her trials clung to the way be- yond the sea, but since her arrival she has learned many Yankee tricks, and breaking out the spinnaker is one of them. The cup defender was a little slow in getting her big bellying sail out, and this somewhat dampened the ardor of the patriotic throng of Americans, who love nothing so much as forehandedness and snap, biit 60 seconds later both were on even terms fleeing before the gentle breeze, wing and wing, spinnaker balanc- ing mainsail and bulging balloon jib drawing forward. The bells in the en- gine rooms of the excursion fleet clanged, and the careening hulls started forward in pursuit.‘ But they slowed down al- most immediately and “Linn stopped. The lazy breeze was ca11'ying the big yachts down the wind at a snail’ s pace. They diifted along like two lazy clouds of smoke upon the surface of the water, their frail hulls slipping through the placid seas as gently and peacefully as if they had been in a dreamless sleep. For two hours this sort of yachting was kept up, during which no one seems ed to be able to tell exactly how the Shamrock drew up with her adversary. Rather than prolong the agony and sus- pense, at 3. '43, when it was apparent to all that the yachts could not make the outer mark, much less the finish, and when both were practically on even terms, the committee decided to call the race off. Arrested For Murder. ORANGE, N. J., Oct. 6.—-Marcus L. Hennion, son-in-law of Mrs. Nathaniel TV. Dobbins, whose husband’s skeleton was found under a heap of rock at \Vest - Caldwell, N. J., has been arrested and held without bail on allegation that he was responsible for the death of the old man. The arrest wm made in Kunz’s morgue, just after Hennion had looked at the bones of the dead man. Mrs. Hen- nion and Mrs. Dobbins had just identi- fied the remains as those of Dobbins, completing the round of identification b'egun early in the week when the body was found. The warrant charges Hen- nion with being responsible for the mur— der of Dobbins. Hennion refused to make an: Statement and was at once commit- ted- to the county jail at Newark to await the action of the grand jury. Mrs. Dob- and Mrs. Hennion identified the sexap of clothing found about the skele- ton as beipg' parts of the clothing wom by Dobbins on the night he disappealed from Caldwell about eight months ago. Lord Vincent “’01: at Lexington. LEXINGTON, Ky., Oct. 6.—The $10,-. 000 Transylvania, which attracted the attention of horsemen all over the conti- nent and in which it seemed a moral cer- tainty that Peter the Great could not be beaten, was one of the greatest surprises ever witnessed in‘ Kentucky. After a terrific battle, in which fortune was in Peter’s favor up to, the third heat, which he lost by a break within150 yards of the wire, Lord Vincent won the great stake by sheer pluck. Comb Factory Burned. DERBY, Conn, Oct. 6.——The factory of the Derby Comb company, on Water was entirely destroyed by fire early last night, causing a loss of upward of $8,000. Seventy-five hands are thrown out of employ ment. The fire was caused by the carelessness of one of the em- ployces, who dropped a lighted paper on the floor. INDUSTRIAL COMMISSION. Chairman Knapp Tells of Interstate Commerce Troubles. WASHINGTON, Oct. 6.—The indus- trial commission resumed its sittings yes- terday, hearing the members of the inter- state commerce commission on questions affecting railroad transportation, Chair- man Knapp being the first to be heard. Mr. Knapp first took up the question of the operation of the law approved in ' 1898 for the arbitration of differences be- tween transportation companies and their employees by the chairman of the interstate commerce commission and the commissioner of labor. He said» there had been only one appeal for adjustment under the law. This was made by the employees of a railroad company, and the company refused to accept the arbi- tration on the ground that in so vital a matter as that of wages they could not delegate control to persons other than those connected with the management of the road. Mr. Knapp denounced a practice on the part of the railroads of giving free passes as a great evil and without ex- cuse. He was satisfied that if the pass system were abolished the general pas- senger rate could be very materially re- duced. He thought the interstate law could be amended so as to prevent the practice. He would make it a criminal misdemeanor. He alsg recommended the repeal of the antitrust law and antipooling laws, cou- pled with more stringent regulations con- cerning contracts. He would have the corporations themselves indictable. He contended that there could be no compe- tition between individuals in the matter of railroad traffic, which was his reason for advocating the abolition of the anti- pooling clause. Only capitalists had se- cured the benefit of the antitrust and an- tipooling laws. BOSTON’S R ECEPTION. Plans For That City’s Welcome to Admiral Dewey. BOSTON, Oct. 6.—Mayor Quincy has telegraphed Secretary Long of the navy department asking, in view of the fact that Admiral Dewey will be here on the 14th, if the arrival of the Olympia, which is due at Charlestown navy yard, cannot be deferred until. Dewey’s visit, or, in any event, if the Olympia’s crew cannot be here at that time. The members of the Grand Army of Massachusetts, through Secretary of State Olin and Sergeant-at- -Arms Adams, formally tendered their services to the governor and his committee to assist at the reception to Admiral Dewey. They will serve in any capacity the committee may desire. It seems to be accepted that the mobilization of state troops will be the main feature of the Dewey fes- tivities. , It is understood that Admiral Dewey wants no reception. Steamer Burned at Her Pier. NEW YORK, Oct. 6.—The steamer Leona, one of the most unlucky ships of the Mallory line, with a record of 13 kill- ed by fire on one of her voyages, was found afire at her pier, foot of Fulton street, East river, again yesterday. Her cargo of cotton had become ignited, and all the efforts of her crew to retard the flames proved unavailing. The Leona sank at her pier at 6:35 o’clock and at present is lying at an angle of about 50 degrees. There were several firemen in the forward hold at the time the ship sank, but it is thought that all escaped. Howison to Live In New York. WASHINGTON, Oct. 6.—Rear Admi- ral Henry L. Howison, who was de- tached from command of the south At- lantic station on the 5th inst., made an official visit to the navy department yes- terday.
