CUP EEMAINS HERE
American Yacht Itclinnco Won
All the Eaccs.
In La! Kveiit Shamrock was Three
Miles Astom Sho Missed tlio
l'ln!u lilue In tlio I'oe mid
Itcluriied to It from tlio
Opposite Direction.
Xew York, Sept. 4. The Reliance,
the American cup defender, on
Thursday won the third and final race
and the series for that famous sea
trophy, the America's cup. In a
dense fog which prevented vision be
yond 200 yards she finished the race
at 5:30, amid the neclomntions of tho
assembled fleet. Shamrock III after
running for more than an hour in tho
fog, missed the finish line, passed by
CAl'T. BAItlt.
(Commander of the Cup Defender, Reli
ance.) St and then returned to it from the
opposite direction. As the Iteliance
was then being towed through the
fleet, yacht ensigns fluttering from
her truck and spreaders in celebra
tion of her victory, the Shamrock III
did not cross the finish line. As often
said of the historic race when the
-mieriea won the cup, there was no
second. The Iteliance was about
three miles ahead. -
This successful result was achieved
only after four futile attempts to
sail oir the final race and after the
outcome had been admitted by even
Sir Thomas Lipton to be a foregone
conclusion. Yesterdny's was the
eighth attempt to sail a race. After
one fluke the ltelinnce won the two
following races, one by seven minutes
nnd three seconds and the other by
one minute and 19 seconds. A week
ago yesterday the first attempt to
sail the third race failed, and at
tempts have been made every day
this week. On two occasions the Ite
liance led the Shamrock III to the
finish line by about two miles, but
failed to reach it before the expira
tion of the time limit of five and a
half hours. Thursday's victory means
that the cup is destined to remain in
America until England is able to pro
duce a genius equal to Herreshoff in
yacht designing.
Itnrely if ever has there been a
more spectacular finish than the Itc
lian6e's. After racing for more thnn
a hour at terrific speed through a
blinding fog, the Reliance burst
through the wall of mist upon the
vision of the speetntors on the fleet
assembled at the finish line and, heel
ing under a great bellying balloon jili
topsail until her lee rail was awash,
fled across the finish line almost be
fore the spectators could determine
for a certainty that it was she.
Highlands, Xevsink, X. J Sept. 4.
When the Erin had discharged her
passengers last night and the re-echo
of their cheers had died away, Sir
'x nomas Lipton said: "Two weeks
ago I was hopeful; last week I
knew I was doomed to defeat and
was disappointed, but today I am al
most glad in my own defeat, Amer
ica has been such a thoroughly gen
erous victor. I want again to thank
the American people for their gen
erosity to me in my defeat."
LIPTON HONORED.
Prominent New Yorkers Tender a
UitiKiuct to n Gallant Sportsman.
Xew York, Sept. 5. Sir Thomas
Lipton was the guest of honor of the
Pilgrims of the United States at a
dinner given in his honor last night
at the Waldorf-Astoria. A
Nearly 150 men, prominent in many
walks of life, were present. Sir
Thomas arrived at 7:45 and for nearly
nn hour the gallant owner of Sham
rock III received his friends.
Sir Thoma's Lipton is still unde
cided whether to challenge ngain for
the America's cup. He said yester
day: "If I can find a man who can
design a boat to beat the Yankee
sloop I shall challenge again. To say
that I will not challenge again is uiL
true. If I do challenge again it will
bo with n ninety-footer."
Sir Thomas said that when Sham
rock III was sailing in Englnnd on n
02-foot water line, before her extra
weight wns removed to bring her
within the 00-foot limit, she did a
great deal better than after the
change.

Great Falls, Mont., Sept. 4 What Is

Northern railroad, almost within the

Wednesday night by the engineer,
who run his train by the spot where
It was to have .been halted, so fast
that tho robbers could not get at
him. Just eost of the city the en
gineer saw figures by the side of the

AN IMPORTANT CASE.
'A Mandamus Proceeding; that llnlsci
a Question Never Hcforo Considered
by Any Court.
Pittsburg, Sept. 0. Judge Frnzer,
In common pleas court No. 2, on
Tuesday heard arguments lit the
mandamus proceeding of the Clyda
Conl Co. against the Pittsburg &
Lake Erie Railroad Co. The cuse in
of vital interest to manufacturers
nnd others who ship their products
by rail, and never before in this state,
and, as far as can be ascertained in
this country, lias the same question
arisen. It is merely tho question of
whether a corporation can compel n
Railroad corporation to furnish sum
'clcnt cars to carry on its industry.
Many questions of law were submit
ted to Judge Frnzer, after which the
court took the papers.
The prayer of the petitioner is that
the railroad company be required to
furnish it with cars ns rapidly as its
demands may require and promptly
meet all calls for cars; and if it can
not meet all calls for cars it shall
furnish them ratably nnd fairly to
the Clyde Coal Co. The coal company
claimed that it nt first had been fur
nished a sufficient number of cars,
but later by orders of the railroad
officials the cars were refused, but no
valid reason wns given. Finding it
self without sufficient enrs to carry
on its coal business, the Clyde Coal
Co. took the matter into court.
The defense argued that the Clyde
Coal Co. is not nnd never lins been a
regular shipper of coal over the rail
road and that the company's mine
and equipment is designated solely
for the shipment, of coal by river.
That tho plaintiff company' simply
seeks to avail itself of the facilities
of the road at such times only ns it
is unable to ship by river, or when
the price of coal is so high that it
mav be profitable to do so.
SIX INDICTED.
Tlio Names of Tlioao Clinrxftd with
Wrongdoing in I'oMal All'ulrs Will
Not bo nivulitcil Until Arrests ure
Made.
Washington, Sept. 0. After delib
erating for several weeks over a mass
of documents submitted by the post
office inspectors the federal grand
jury in this city yesterday returned
seven indictments in postal cases, in
volving six different persons. All the
indictments were kept off the public
record and both the officials of the
district attorney's office nnd of the
post office department refused to di
vulge names or details of the indict
ments until the parties indicted are
arrested. The identity of the indicted
individuals thus was left a matter of
conjecture.
Two other important events occur
red Monday in the postal inquiry.
Leopold Stern, the Baltimore con
tractor who disappeared from Balti
more before he could lie nrrested on
nn indictment returned July 3 last,
was located at Toronto nnd 'the long
delayed surrender of George W. Bea
vers, the former head of tho salary
and allowance division, to the Xew
York authorities took place.
Toronto, Ont., Sept. 0. Mr. Stern
declined to be seen when a reporter
called at his home yesterday. He re
ferred all callers tn ms attorney. Mr.
Stern's lawyer said tnat his client
was ready to appear before an ex
tradition judge and prove Ids inno
cence, which is interpreted as a de
claration that extradition proceed
ings will be fought to th'e end. He
will not leave the city, the attorney
said, and if an extradition wnrranjt-is
secured, Mr. Stern will at once leare
for Washington.

Sofia, Sept. 9. The Macedonian
Interior organization estimates that
150,000 women, children nnd old men
nre hiding in tho mountains nnd for
ests of Macedonia. The Turks ore
burning tlio forests in the districts
of Lcren and Kostur nnd killing fugi
tives who attempt to escape to tho
plains. The Vlnch village of Gopesh,
three hours distant from Monastir,
hns been burned by the Turks, who
nre reported to hnve thrown several
of tlie inhabitants into the fire. The
Bnshi Bazouks have destroyed the
village of Stollovo.
Thirteen thousand Turkish soldiers
nre assembled on the frontier at Pn
lanka, Kratovo and Gotsehiini, and
arc plundering the surrounding vil
lages. The people have not complain
ed, fearing that they may be murder
ed. In the district of Debritsi, vilayet
of Monastir, the soldiers are report
ed to be naked and starving and to be
robbing all around.
The general staff of the insurgents
ins issued a circular ordering the
bands not to molest the peaceful
Turkish and Albanian villages. The
order concludes:
"There will always be plenty of
time to take such measures."
Famine prevails in the district of
Krushevo, and the population is go
ing into tlio adjacent districts.
All reports from the vilayet of Mon
astir agree in describing the situation
ns appalling. Between 30,000 and 50,
000 Bulgarian inhabitants are be
lieved to have been massacred by tho
Turks nnd every Bulgarian village in
the vilayet has been destroyed. The
refugees in the mountains" nnd for
ests nre dying of starvation by thou
sands. At present it is impossible to
obtain precise figures. The revolu
tionary headquarters estimate that
30,000 Bulgarian men. women and
children have been killed, while nt
least the same number of refugees
are slowly perishing of hunger. In
oftlcinl circles these figures are re
garded as nn underestimate and offi
cials incline to the belief that- the
number of the massacred exceeds 50,
000. The Turks are apparently deter
mined to exterminate the entire Bul
garian population of the vilayet. The
actual details of the happenings out
side the town nre not available.
Tn government circles here the situ
ation is viewed with increasing alarm.
It is reliably stated that the Turkish
forces in Macedonia number 300,000.
It is considered impossible that such
a force is merely to crush the rebel
lion. It is feared that the sultan is
meditating an attack on Bulgaria.
According to u telegram from Con
fitnntinople the porte lias issued an
unconditional order tnat all European
correspondents must leave Mace
donia because they nre circulating
false news. The ambassadors have
been notified of this decision.
London, Sept. 0. A Sofia dispnteh
to the Daily Mail, dated September
8, says that the revolutionary com
mittee today will issue to the repre
sentatives of the powers a note fore
warning them of coming events. The
note is intended to justify the future
actions of the insurgents, and will
point to the probable total extermin
ation of the Christians as necessi
tating the employment of the same
atrocious measures by the revolu
tionaries against the Turks, nnd will
contend thnt the responsibility for
such desperate acts will rest with
the powers.
A Monastir dispatch to the Daily
Mail says: "Vice Consul McGregor
tells me that the porte has informed
Hilmi Pacha that it has received n
threat from the Macedonian commit
tee that tho Insurgents intend to
murder a British consul or journal
ist, or an American missionary. Vice
Consul McGregor notified the Turkish
authorities that he will hold them
responsible for any murder by either
the Turks or the Bulgarians."
Salonica, Turkey, Sept. 0. Twelve
battalions of Turkish troops nro re
ported to have surrounded n large
revolutionary band near Ostroro, 30
miles from Monastir. Fighting in
proceeding.
Iinplro Wright's Decision.
Scrnnton, Pa., Sept. 9. Hon. Carroll
D. Wright, the umpire to whom was
referred the five disputes between tho
operators nnd miners' representa
tives on the board of conciliation ap
pointed under tho provisions of tlio
anthracite strike commission filed
his findings yesterday with T. D.
Nieholls, secretory of the board. In
dealing with the question of the em
ployers' right to discharge men for
nny cause other than of connection
with u labor union, Umpire Wright
agrees wholly with tho contention of
the operators and declares that the
right of an employer to discharge
without giving the cause of the dis
charge is sustained by the award of
the commission.
