It was a Mi long meeting, and at 10 o'clock tlioro seemed i f , . j ( no probability ttiat it would ond bsfore mid- ' .1 f night. The member of tho committee had I J j ' begun an exhaustive and detailed discussion , , f i" j ot tha hlstorV of reform morementa In .Neir ) h-X York olty Bo prolonged wan tha debate that t, I the commlttea did not flnlali lt business, ami ' ; f tba muting was adjouraed until noxt ,, 1 Wednesday evening, without any action of any ',- f kind. Under the circumstance!. Its secretary, ' K Thomas It. Fulton, announced to a number of f rsportora who went to the headquarters after ; ( 10 o'clock that there would be no news to be '' given out. Among the reporters was one who ' I put this question to Ur Fulton r J ''Mr Qulgghai been quoted as saying that i ' '' j formal negotiation! for n combination against ( ' I Tammnny hare boen In progress between the 11 llopubllcan organization and the Citizens' . - i Cnlon. Is that true?" I j v "There Is no truth In the roport whatOTer," f ' t responded .Mr Fulton, promptly. ".No such ' ' J negotiations aro In progress with th Cltl7ons' f , t I'nlon as I understand It." ; f Mr. Fulton ipoko the truth. Mr Qulgg has ' never said that formal negotiations were In j progress ith the Cltleiis I nlon Mr Fulton E went on "It is not thu present expectation of the l j Cltleni Union to honilnatoa county ticket in i Now York this year 1 cannot say that It will r iiot nominate a ticket, for tho conditions may J' J change, but at presont It Is not tho expectation i.

It did not bring out the fact, which Mr Fulton stated three or four times, that the Union's attitude toward other , political parties was the same that It had oc- cupied for months 1 Another paper which printed a itory on the i subject was the Jni nal.

RATSEY'S PERFECT SAILS. THE MlIAIIItOCK SIIOITS SOUS SKIT ahu iroxvnnrvL c.isrAs. She ruti In Another Day ot Practice In the Light Aire oft Randy Hook, but the Critics Are !fot as Favorably Impressed as With Iter Previous Performances, The Sh&mrook was tried yesterday In a light broeze. and while she sailed well and fast, those who saw her were not so favorably Im pressed with her0erformance as they were with the provlous exhibitions Thoy thought the Columbia would havo been a winner In a race that had been sailed under similar condi tions. Early In the day there waa a calm, thon a little wind came from the south-iouthoast. gradually Increasing in force until It blew about loven knots an hour. A long ocean swell came In from the south but did not appear to bother the yacht. Sho went over tho wnter In the inme smooth way that has characterized all her lailingoff Handy Hook After sailing around and getting her sails In shape, she made two tacks to windward for about five miles. Then she made a reach to the weatvt ard forabout the same distance and then gybing her boom over, readied about Ave more miles to the Sandy Hook Lightship. It wai, of course, hard to estimate th speed ot the yaoht. She lalled fast under the condi tion! but the Columbia has shown herself to be such a wonder In light weathor thut It was thought that at the end of tho five mile beat the Columbia would have had a material lead. When reaching, however, the Shamrock showed to better adrantago and on the third leg of tho course sho outfooted th press tug which followed In her wake at about ten miles an hour. It must be remembered that th condition o,t the Shamrock's hull, which must do ioui. would seriously hurt her speod In the light wind of yeitarday. Then again the yaoht Is not yet In proper trim. It la very doubtful It she was satlod for all eho was worth, either, ns Cant. Hogarth paid more attention to tho sails of the vacht, nnd to her trim, thin he did to the tiller. It waa a day spent In practice and sail stretching, and wan just the sort of weather that was wanted for tho now pieces of canvas that wore used for tho first time. With the exception of the mainsail, which was tho same ono sho has used all th week, tho sails were new. They were a oredtt to Thomas Rntsoy who made them. Their fit was absolutely perfect, and Itatsey himself seemed to bo well catlifled. The captains of the yacht. Hogarth and Wrlnge, were put on board from the tender Plymouth at 0:45 o'clock. They hod been In conference with Sir Thomas Llpton and Messrs. Fife and Ratsey on the Erin and as soon as they boarded the racing otttter, pre parations were mado for getting under way, A line was passed to the Shamrock from tha tug James A. Lawrence nnd at 0.52 the anchor was holstod and the tug started out. The Erin at onco followed. The big mainsail was set at 10 38 o'clock and then tho line wai cast oft and the yacht sailed out under her mainsail, j lb and fore staysail. After sailing about for a few moments or rather drifting about, for there was no wlnd-the yacht laid, to and the club topsail was sent up. Thla sail Is oalled a jaekyarder on the British boat. It is n wonderful pleco ot canvas and when It was set It covered completely tho space be tween th topmast and the gaff and fitted per fectly. It Is mado of Sea Islnnd cotton duck at are th other aailslbut Is very light and of a very close weave. The tack hauls down to the auxiliary sproader and completely fills In the small open space between the mainsail and the mast below the jaws of the gsff. There Is a seam In the sail running from the clew to the luff and the oloths run nt right angles to the club below this seam and at right angles to the leach above the seam so that tkeyareat right angles to eah other at the seam, liy this means Itattey has made a sail that Is perfect. The club spars tower way abov the topmast and Uie gaff. When the club topsail had been set to the satisfaction otCnnt Hogarth the for staysail was taken in and a balloon foresail set In Its place The canvas used In thli sail Is extremely light, Tho cloths run Irom luff to lnch and tho clow trims about ten feet aft of tho mast. Tho foot of the sail Is cut circular and comes down very near tho dock so that It catches every ounce of wind. At 11 o'clock there was a very light loutherly wind and the yacht stood off on the starboard tack. Messrs Fife and Ratsey were on the bridge of the Lrln scanning the yacht care fully. The Shamrock sailed about In this way for nearly an hour. The steamship flormanlo passed tn and signalled ' Success " The Lrln promptly hoisted th flag that said 'Thanks." and there was a dipping of flags. Tho Augusta victoria and the Roentgen Louise panoa out and each saluted the yacht A light breeze from the aouth southeast blew In at noon. The balloon jib topsail was hoisted and the yaoht reached to the eastward on the port tuck. This big sail was only used far a fw minutes and then It was lowered and the lib and for stay sail set again. For halt an hour the yacht sailed about In the light air and then a launch was lowered from the Erin and Sir Thomas Llpton. Chevalier d Martlno. Thomas Ratsey and Jesse Connell were put on board the Shamrock. This Is the first time that Sir Thomas has sailed on the yacht in these waters Mr. Fife remained on board the Lrln to watch the performance of the yac ht. The Shamrock was hauled olose on th e wind and on the port tack she stood for the Scotland Lightship The wind had backed to the south ward and then to the south by west The yaoht sailed a course southweit bv west, or four points off th wind, and she was footing fait considering the lightness or thu breeze Her headsalls were nil full aad her Jib topsail 11 was kept full all th time. Navigator Hamilton dropped the log over tho rail and the orew lined up on the windward side ot th., &?.!" bu.t .not. .rlht calnst the rail Tho yacht heeled very little In the wind, but even with the slight heel sho had, her water line was very much lengthened. Sh hardly mad a ripple In the water. Thore was no wake and no following wave. At 1V1.58 o'clock she wns abreast of the Scot land Lightship and then Capt. Hogarth put her about. She span around liken top nnd wns off again on the starboard tack almost before it was realized that she had altered hor course. She held on this tack until 1 U3 o'clock. It was estimated that sho had sailed flv miles to wlndwnrd since she started in fairly fait tlm. At l-'J.rshe bore away, and with the wind Just aft ot the beam reached east by north. Sheets were casoil. and she at once began to Increase hur speed no that tho tug had to bo opened un n hit to keep up with her Sho held this course until 1 ri0 o'olook when she waa gybed and with the wind on the port quarter reuohed for handy Hook Lightship. On this point of sailing sIih went still falter. The wind had Increased In force to about seven knots and the Shamrock drew away from tho Press tug which was doing Its best to keenup with her She passed the Sand v Hook Lightship at li-lM o'clock, nnd then heading into the wind her satis wore lowered, and shortly afterwards sho took a linn from hertuc and was tnwed to her anchorage In the Horsoiho the I'.rin following Sir Thomas Llpton again expressed himself as well satis fied The Shamrock will go out again this morn ing nnd will probably b sailed over a course so that some Idea can be had of herapeed, It Is hard to judge tho speed of a yacht when It Is sailing alone, and there Is no doubt that sho will do battel than sho has shown whan sailing against another yacht She ts being thorough ly tried In a systematic way by those In charge, and they are finding out exnetly what she can do There Is an anemometer on board the Erin, and the force of the wind Is oarofully noted nil th time tho yacht Is heinc tried A log Is al ways carrlad on the Shamrock .and this gives the npoed nt which tho boat Is trnvellng, so that It Is very easllv figured just what she can to under tho vurlous conditions of weather The trim of the boat is, nt course, noted. end before the eup taees are sailed It will be known just how she sails best and In what trim to put her for the contests Mr. S. .1.

Sept. 7,-The Columbia arrived her this afternoon from Bristol, under tow of thoSt. Michaels, and picked up her moorings In Dronton's Cove. Mr. lielln was on board the St. Michaels' but no sooner had sho como to anchor than he had boarded a launch, went alongside the Columbia and gave orders to Capt. Barr to propare for the trip to New Ilochelle. The crow at onee bent a storm trl aall above the big steel boom and the yaoht was ready for her trip through the Sound which began lato to-night. Bristol. Sept. 7.-The Columbia left here this afternoon In tow of tho steam tender Bt. Mlchaol for Newport. Her new mainsail was carried on the tender, and will b bent later The theories advanced recently that the Columbia wai being held back to some extent In her races with the Defender, are being borne out by the latest report!. From what was learned here last evening there Is noques tlon but that th progress of tho now boat In a number of races has been retarded. In last Monday'srace this policy wasfollowed nearly the whole time from the second mark to the finish line, and furthermore, two un necssary tacks were mado under th Nana gantett Pier shore. This was the last of the trial race, and It Is claimed that It put to hor greatest test on that day, the Columbia would havo beaten the Defender from 10 to IB minutes. Instead of 10 mtnutei and 7 seconds, as recorded. Atone period of tho race last Monday, Capt. Barr order the mainshcet trimmed when he saw the luff ot the mainsail flapping la the wind. Designer Herreihoff who stood Dear th wheel, so it Is learned, advised otherwise, saying it was not necessary. Not only have the malnshest and hcadshoets beon left un trlmmed when thoy needed trimming, but another device was also followed to retard Columbia's paco. This plan was to trip the sheets too flat, which acted as a drag and killed headway through the water aa much aa when nt timei the sheets were not trimmed. The after bulkhead was adjusted yesterday. Tho mainsail, made of llghtduck that was used on th Columbia In Tuesday's race fortheGod dard Cup. although setting without a wrinkle. Is yet hardly suitable torn racing sail, having been set but twice. It was found that 'A m." J0?. llK,,t for wlndwnrd work.

The new steel mast Is about one-third constructed The plates are nearly nl plaoed as well aa the ankle braces. The broken steel clubtopeall pole Is having a new plat Inserted where It buckled and will be tried again. This morning the mainmast of the Columbia STOtU new enat nf vllnr ntlnl liha hn., h been racing so much reoently that the mast hoops wore the paint off In many places. Tho top sides were painted white to-day. althoagh there were but few placos on the upper body that needed It. The plates under tho bows were discolored, however, by the anchor. It was learned this morning that the Columbia w' I enter the International races with whito painted topsldes It Is arranged that the top sides will have two more coats of paint while she Is at New Rochelle, and when these coats have sufficiently dried and hardened the top aides aro to be rubbed down very smooth. Borne more Interesting things were learned to-day about the Columbia from people who hay sailed on her In many of her trials. It is authoritatively claimed that she Is fully three minutes faster over a thirty-mile course with the steel mast stepped with teleiooplng top mast than she wns when she had the wooden mainmast In place. With th steel mainmast it Is a simple matter for the Columbia to work out from under the ee of the Defender and beat her by a wide margin on windward work. The housing of the topmast on Columbia can be accomplished In a few minutes when the craft Is rnelng. while It takes about half an hour to houie the ordinary toptmst on araeing sloop. This wl I add much to tho racing Qual ities of th new boat Iu a blow Every man on board the Columbia Is oonfl- '?.' he .' '!' S.?uh to win three rrtfl,9t.rae" lr?m ?ne Shamrock noxt month.

The average weight of tho Planters' bnlea was 260 pounds, while that ot the American , bales amounted to 370 pounds.

Chief Byan put water upon oach burning pile, nnd two minutes later th fintuos were extinguished. The house of th Planters' Company was not scorched. Not even tha floor boards were blackened. Th contents were scarcely burned at all, the only loss being tho burning of tho canvas cover ings, tho flames being unable to penetrate th Lowry bales because of thelrextrem bardnoss and compactness. ....... One of the underwriters remarked that It the wires that bind the bales Hhould break the ootton would then burn rapidly. An official of the Planters' Compress Company replied to this that the bales alone would never furnish hoat enough to melt the wires nnd sufficient heat from any outside source In oasoof a warehouse fire would be very unlikely. At tho request ot two representatives of prominent 11 ro Insurance companies, who wishod a tost In extreme heat, a bonfire was built about a Lowry bale and Kept burning vigorously for 45 minutes, apparently without affeo'lngthe strength of tho wires In the least. Owing to the compactness ot the Lowry bales they do not absorb water readily, and on thla Joint there was recently a vary scvore teat. In lay a fire broke out In the hold of the steamer ' Barbarussa. bound from New York to Bremen, ' 1 aud she returned to Now York, one of her com- I partments almost completely flooded with water. Putnam It Kissam ot New York, sur- f voyors and appraisers, took ohnrge ot the goods that had beon damaged by water, and In ak a letter to the Planters' Compress Company a H few days later report as follows: "In the oompartment Hooded with water ws fouu,13S2 ba'esof square oompressed cotton and thirty-seven bales ot Lowry packing total, 410 bales ot cotton which had beea equally submerged la water for over twenty four hours This cotton was all sold at auction. "We had some of these bnles weighed up be fore tha sale, after the cotton had been dried out forabout ten days. Thesquare bales nver nged about800poutidsoach. still holdlngabout 300 pounds of water, and nt least nineiy ior cent. (90 per cent ) of the cotton In these bales had been wet. Th Iywry bales weighed 25t)'a pounds, holding only about one-half round of water. Fully ninety per cent. (00 per eontiof the eotton in those bains had never been wet. The Lowry bales sold for $1350 par bale; the aquare bales averaged about $10 00. although they contained about tn Ice as much cotton, and therefore should have brought over $20 00 per balo. "Submersion In water apparently will not cause the Lowry bale to expand. This we think Is due to the fact that ther being absolutely no air In these bales, theonly way wateroould penetrate would be by capillary attraction. This is prevented by the faot that tha staple ot the ootton. by your method ot packing, goes around tho balo Instead of through. ' From an undorwrltor's point of view, this Is very Important Steamship agent, who could find very reasonable grounds for declining to Rhlp under deck, with miscellaneous cargo, the soggy,wt and swollen square bales.coulu raise no objections to the Lowry bales Kuoh bales could, therefore, ba delivered to tha consignees under the original shipping documents, with a large saving to all the parties In torasted. This Is one of the strongest arguments In, favor of your method of packing " No one was more pleased at the result of tha test In Boston than Dlstrlot Chief Ryan of the Fire Department, who has a good many hot fires to handle in the course of a year, nnd who ex- Eressed his unqualified approval ot the Lowt y ale as a resistant to fire. To some of the underwriters present th test was In the nature of a revelation, but others were well posted on the Lowry bale. Mr. W. It. Colby ot the Atlantic Mutual of New York has made somethtnc ot a study of ootton bales and he itemed to think ono trou ble with the Amerloan bale waa that It was so light and fluffy on the outside that the flames caught readily and rapidly buraed the out aide layers, though the centra ot a bale Is so hard that It Is with difficulty a polated rod caa be driven through It to serve as an axle oa ' which to unroll It. Mr. B B. Wh Ittemore. ex-presldent of the board of Are underwriters, said: "The Lowry balo withstood unusual tests with complete success-tests which I should think would rarely be brought to bear In actual warehouse fires Tho wires which bind the bales seemed to hold them so tho fire could not penetrate, and I think they would resist water equally well." .Other underwriter present expressed similar tIowb.
