Preliminaries Settled For the Second of the Cup Races. COURSE TO BE TRIANGULAR. Fair Weather, With Moderate Breezes, _Will Prevail—What-the Newspapers on the Other Side Say of Val- kyrie's Defeat Saturday. NEW YORK, Sept. 10.—-Fair weather is promised for the second day of the inter- national yacht race series. The present indications are that we shall have fair weather and light to fresh- winds, gener— ' ally from the southeast. That means that the breeze will probably vary from six to ten miles an hour. It is not likely to ex- ceed ten miles. The chances are that the weather will remain good during the en- tire period of the races. There is no storm in sight. The breezes during the early part of September for the past ten years have been ,rather fresh than otherwise—fresh enough at any rate to insure good sport. It is not at all likely that any race will be a drifting match this year, and there is, on the other hand, precedent for a good, hard blow on one or more of the race days. . In the second of the races forthe Amer- Defender will again be victorious, and the interest in the race to Americans now centers in the time by which she will do. feat her English rival and the way the two boats compare in a good, still breeze. The race of Saturday was a splendid test seas, and the Yankee sloop proved herself and 49 seconds. The Valkyrie, until Lord Dunraven re- cently declared her to be, to his mind, best in a strong breeze, has always been considered a. light air boat. in almost a 'calm. The Defender, on the other hand, has always been looked upon as a. boat which would sail fastest in strong breezes, and for this reason the American public hoped that the wind would blow strong during the interna- tional races. It blew lightly on Saturday, and the Defender won. After the first hour of the race, when things really did look blue, she showed her superiority over her rival in pointing and footing and on the run home increased her lead 5 minutes and 12 seconds. Now the yachtsmen want good wind, 11. hard race in a stifi blow, to test to the utmost. A Triangular Course. The second race will be sailed over a triangular course. the Sandy Hook lightship, unless the .weather conditions make another starting point necessary, as was the case on Satura . Each leg of the triangle will be ten ‘ ‘ mander In Chief Lawlcr were Colonel R. : _ ; Flemmg at the house 500 Manhattan av- day. miles. The first leg to be sailed will be laid out for a dead beat to windward. the second contest. They lay at Bay Ridge until early yesterday morning, when they were tOWed to Eric basin to be remeasured at the request of Lord Dunraven. crowds thronged the adjacent piers and swarmed about the basin in craft of all kinds all day long. The following ofiicial notice regarding the remeasurement was posted at the New York Yacht club house: “At the request of the Earl of Dunra— yen, and with the acquiescence of Mr. Iselin, the measurer of the New York Yacht club marked the yachts Valkyrie and Defender at each end of the load wa- ter line. When this was done at the Erie basin today, the measurer, at the request of the America’s cup committee, verified the measurements taken on Friday last, which were confirmed by the measure- ments taken today.” After the remeasurement the yachts were again towed to Bay Ridge, Where they anchored for the night. Another enormous fleet is expected to witness the race. Yachtsmen earnestly express the wish that some steamboat captains will show more sense than they did on Saturday, when at times they seri- ously interfered .with the racers. gen of the N. Y. Y. C., commanding the patrol division, has issued the following: . “The thanks of the officers command- ing the patrol division of the New York Yacht club are tendered to the captains of the excursion steamboats following the America’s cup race on Saturday for their kind and prompt attention to signals and requests. The few exceptions are the com- manders of vessels concerning whose movements complaints have been made to the press. These individuals are with- out excuse for their conduct. They had warnings from the patrol vessels and knowledge of the eifect of their actions. “It would be unfair to blame the great body of steamboat captains present on that occasion for the deliberate selfish misbehavior of the few. As _ there is no power in the New York Yacht club to con- trol such men, the fair minded public have the obvious corrective in their own hands. It is to permit them to follow the races alone. “The importance of keeping the turn- ing marks of Tuesday’ 5' triangular race clear is so great that attention is again called to the fact that at no point of the race, either at the start nor during the runs from mark to mark, nor at turning marks, nor at the finish, should steam- boats approach within half a mile of the racing yachts, and to the further fact that on Tuesday there will be patrol vessels stationed both to windward and leeward of each mark, and commanders of all ves- sels are particularly requested not to pass marks.” Defender and Valkyrie lay at anchor to- day something like half a mile apart Oif Bay Ridge. They were continually sur- rounded by a fleet of boats containing curious spectators. The sailors on Defend- er Were engaged in scraping down her freeboard, scrubbing her deck and mak‘ ing the thousand and one final Lpgra- . _ 4....-. , __ .r, . ica’s cup it is expected, of course, that the . of their abilities in light airs and lumpy 5 the superior of the Valkyrie by 8 minutes .

I have no more to say about Saturday’ s race. It is now a matter of history. ” The Valkyrie’ 5 crew were as busy all morning as the Defender’ 5 and doing practically the same work. It was said that Valkyrie’ s ballast had been shifted. Her bow seemed to be a lit- tle higher out of water, giving color to that report. When Designer Watson first came over this fall and saw Valkyrie, it Was said that he was not pleased with her trim. English Press Opinion. LONDON, Sept. 10.—The Pall Mall Gan tette, noticing the conflicting reports of the yacht race between Defender and the Valkyrie III on Saturday, says: “It ap- peared possible yesterday that the Val— kyrie clearly beat the Defender to the windward, and that the latter merely won by obtaining a fiuky streak of wind in the run back. The reports today, however, are more disheartening, as they show that the English boat was simply beaten from. start to finish. The most disappointing feature to Englishmen is the gain the De- fender made in the broad reach home ' when rough water hadn’t to be smashed ' through. We fear there will be no cup . this year for Lord Dunraven. ” The Globe says: “The race clearly dem- onstrated the good and bad points of each boat. The British public generally re— echo Lord Dunraven’s verdict that the Valkyrie was fairly beaten. American sportsmen must be as greatly disgusted as the English with the conduct of the steam- boats following the yachts. It would be a thousand pities if the racing should be marred by protests from either vessel. ” l The Star says that the defeat of Valv kyrie is far from being a disastrous one, and that there is no need to lose hope. The News does not see much hope that , Valkyrie will win in the coming matches. This paper also comments upon the enor— mous expense of building and equipping Defender, whose success, it says, is anoth- er triumph of the almighty dollar. G. A. R. ENOAMPMENT.

The Alleged Murderess IS Sufi'ering From Fainting-Fits. 0011111131011 IS NOT SERIOUS. The New York Police Have Failed to Se- . cure Direct Evidence Against Mrs. Fleming, and Their Case Is Still Exceedingly Weak. _ NEW YORK, Sept. 10.--The strain of the last few days has been tob much for Mrs. Fleming, and today she was unable to leave the cot in her cell in the Tombs prison. It was rumored that it b'ecame necessary to call in the prison physician early this morning, as she was suffering from fainting spells. Mrs. McAulii‘I‘e, the matron, however, saw that Mrs. Fleming was not seriously ill. “She was ill during the night, ” she said, “but there is nothing serious the matter. She is unable, however, to see any one. ” Coroner O’Meagher, when seen, said he had received no communication from the police since Saturday last. “I know practically nothing about the evidence to be presented,” he said. Assistant District Attorney Miller said he did not expect to hear of any other ar- rests for some time. He has had charge of the case for the district attorney’s office since the arrest of Mrs. Fleming was made. He expects to have Mrs. Fleming held for the grand jury on the verdict of the coroner’s inquest. With the inquest into the death of Mrs. Evelina Matilda Bliss less than 24 hours away, the police of the West One Hundred ’ and Twenty-fifth Street station and the headquarters detectives admit that. they have nota particle more proof that she was poisoned by her daughter, ”Mrs. Fleming.” who is in the Tombs prison, than on the day of the woman’s arrest. Although nearly 30 men are at work on the case, they have been unable thus far to ascertain at what drug store the tartar emetic or arsenic was purchased which had been put in the clam broth given to Mrs. Bliss. This is regarded as one of the many missing links in the chain of evi- dence. _. , , The Accomplice Theory. Nor have the police made the slightest headway in their firstetheorythat Mrs. Fleming had an accomplice. During an entire week they talked of probable ar- rests. Today they said no further arrests would be made until after the inquest, if at all. All the stories told at the Colonial ho- tel, where Mrs. Fleming stopped for the past two months, are to the effect that her only male visitor was Henry M. Bliss. - The former took 11p a residence at the Colonial on June 6 last, shortly after the management assumed control. Bliss has been living there for a couple of years. The same 'story is told of Mrs. cnuc, where she lived" for many months, and at the other house in One Hundred and Twenty-first street. If the hackmen who stand with their vehicles around the door of the Colonial hotel are to be believed, however, Bliss was not the only man known to Mrs. Fleming. One of these hackmen told a reporter he had frequent-1y driven Mrs. Fleming in his cab and that she generally went to a house on Seventy-eighth street, near Ninth avenue. On one of these 00- casions, he says, she was accompanied by a tall blond woman. At other times he took the blond woman and a handsome, stylishly dressed man from the'hotel to the same house on Seventy-eighth street. The police have not questioned the hack- man. Ho says he would be able to find the house again. The blend young woman, he says, has not been seen about the hotel since the arrest of Mrs. Fleming. Stories Against Bliss. . These. hackmen also tell stories about Henry M. Bliss, the stepfather of Mrs. Fleming, who left his wife apparently on Mrs. Fleming’s account and paid the board of herself and children for along time. Few of the stories are to his credit. The man Tuebler, who was the first to send for Dr. Bullman, has not been found. He is said to have been last heard of in Chicago, where he went a few days after the tragedy. Ward Detective Moore has gone to that city to search for him. The indications are that the inquest to . be held tomorrow Will be of short dura- tion. No matter what the verdict may be, the case against Mrs. Fleming will cer- tainly be presented to the grand jury and an indictment ordered on circumstantial evidence. The woman’s daughter, Gracie, is still in the care of the Gerry society, and Florence King, her playmate, who, it is claimed, accompanied the child' with the-poisoned broth to her grandmother, is said to be at police headquarters. Most of the other witnesses have been" instructed not to discuss the case. A peculiar feature of the afi'air is that While the police of the West One Hundred ' and Twenty-fifth Street station are confi- dent they have a strong case against the accused woman, most officials at head. quarters, who have studied the testimony, hold to the contrary opinion. Five lawyers are working to prove Mrs. Fleming’s innocence, the last to be added ‘ being Dr. O’Sullivan, the medico- legal expert, who fought so hard to save Buch- anan ’5 life. They have also an army of detectives at work. Firemen to Ride Bicycles. NEW YORK, Sept. 10,—A bicycle league made up entirely of firemen has been formed in this city. About 100 members are already enrolled, and many more are expected to join. The men will ride to and from their work, and there is talk Of a chemical engine to be propelled by four bicycles.
