CUP CHALLENGER SAFELY LAUNCHED SHAMROCK > GLIDES INTO ?.-•■ THE THAMES English Admire the Yacht They Expect to Win the International Trophy. ONLY ONE ACCIDENT Heavy Tugboat Collides With the •j ' Craft Soon After It Reaches the Water. 'Special Cabl* to Th« Call and the New York Herald. Copyrighted, 1899, by James Gor don Bennett. LONDON. June 26.— The Shamrock, the yacht which many expect to bring the America's cup back to England, was launched this after noon from Yarrow's yard at Black wall. The launch was a most suc cessful one. The only incident which . marred the event was the denting of the forward port bow by an officious tug, , which, after the challenger was resting In the water, clumsily ran too near in an attempt to cast a line for towing pur j>6s<js". ' .:■ So eager was the desire to be on the , fepot when the yacht went oft the ways that some enthusiasts spent the entire • nig Tit in boats in front of the shed. About r.;l o-'clock Sir Thomas Upton's guests, who "" included Admiral of the. Fleet Karl of Olanwilliam, Countess Clanwilliam, Lord ■ Charles Berecford, the Hon. C. Russell, • the Marquis of Dufferin and Ava, com modore of the Royal Ulster Yacht Club; Sir. George and Lady Faudel Phillips, Right Hon. Herbert Gladstone, Hon. W. ' Syspjish and William Gibson, M, P., began to arrive. • Abput 3 o'clock the christening party moil] the steps to the stand which had been erected under the bow. Workmen i were busy removing the last remnant of the 'scaffolding-, and soon quiet took the place of bustle. Then was heard the merry ring of the hammers upon the hardwood wedges. It was at exactly 3:33 ! o'clock that the faint echo of a cheer, three times given, was heard from the tipper depths of the shed in which the yacht lay veiled. The eager crowd which had been watt- Ing- so patiently and so long under the broiling sun at once accepted that cheer as ' a token that the christening, which 4 vas performed by Lady Russell, and that m he toasting of success to the new boat ■ were over, and took up the cheer in right ihearty fashion, which was doubled In volume as the yacht was seen to start moving down. She glided gently at first, , fining speed but ■ ever rushing. Sitting ' t-asily and gracefully on her cradle, with '« crowd of anxious workmen leaning over her stern, th« Shamrock slid down the ways: It had been said that the lines of the yacht would be concealed from view by a' curtain till she was fully immersed, but that was not so. As she slid from the ehed In which she had been hiding during the period of building it was seen t&at only the stern was enshrouded to hide her from prying eyes and 'from cameras 'ill she got into the water, and her graceful I' linos and beautiful shape were revealed. .It was truly a ■: gnii ent picture, 'me only' paint which showed was a broad emerald reen band round the upper por tion of tho hull, with a narrow molded cord of gold. Then right down to the keel the bare metal polished as smooth as a mirror shone In the sun like brightly burnished gold. Now the spectators could not but be Etruck by the trutn of what the expert, •who had bet-n privileged to see the yacht before, had said that never before has tuch a beautiful, such a perfectly modeled pfcimen of a racer been launched in any of three kingdoms, and that if the Sham rock does not wrest the much-coveted cup from Its holders across the waters, then this country need never try again. In tthe opinion of an expert with whom 1 talked tho Shamrock revealed herself as a mixture of British and American de- Figns. Aft she is Herreshoff, forward she Is Fife. In her aft <>art she is a Vigilant over again, and in her bow she is purely of Fife design. A few seconds after she emerg?'! from her shed the Shamrock struck the water, yet gently and without a splash. So quickly aird so smoothly did she glide on to the bosom of the Thames that ihe boats packed bo closely around hardly felt any swaying from the wave's caused by the displacement of the water. The excitement was terrific, and many of the workmen in their boats, their coats decked with emerald ribbons, joined in a chorus song about "The Dear Little Shamrock of Ould Ireland" in pure cock ney accent. Then there were shouts as a small boat in some unaccountable manner got over turned and the Thames police dashed to the rescue of two men struggling in the ■water. Bui that was nothing to the »x --citement which was created when, as the Shamrock swung round, the tugboat Kx celsioi was seen with full steam on, bear ing straight down upon the yacht to catch a tow rope. The tug was trying to turn, but would she clear the Shamrock In time to save her from disaster? There were ■ shouts— yells, ratner— horror. "Back her— back her," frantically cried hundreds of voices. The Excelsion was turning her nose away at the same time, but it was too lute to avoid a collision. The shouts ceased, and people sat tightly in their boats holding their breams. Was t..e Shamrock to be smashed at her very k birth? Then the pent up emotion found vent again in another chorus of heart rending yells of mingled rage, dismay and despair. "The heavy tug Wai on the Sham rock. She struck her full on the port bow but not with a crash or crac*., as would have occurred in a collision with an ordinary built vessel. It was rather a dull .sou fid and as the tug backed off and tin; yacht recoiled from the blow It . was seen that there was no hole, no ■ break but simply a nasty dent left in ". the plate, revealing the fact that it was •of soft, yet strong metal. It was a pathetic picture to see the workmen aboard the yacht, who had taken such pride in the building of the "beautiful boat, shouting and wringing their hands and running aft, shielding . their eyes to shut out from sight the ■disaster which to their frenzied minds • for a time seemed so serious. What a relief It was- to find that the damage was npt serious and nothing but some ham mering and polishing was needed to remedy it. It was surely an exciting but successful launch. Lady Russell of Killoween in christen ing the yacht Bald: "God. bless you. Good luck to you. May you bring back the cup! The great talent and skill of our . cousins across the seas are fully realized, and if Dame Fortune should decide ngainPt us we will be the first to con gratulate them on being possessors of the better boat, and therefore entitled to all the credit of their victory. But I would fain hope that the coveted trophy would be brought back this time and find a resting place with the old folks at home." When the Shamrock was launched her entire crew and a large number of work men were on board. The canvas screens covered only about twelve feet of her bow • nnd stern. The three top plates, which >are made of alloy, were painted pea green. 4 i low that she was a brilliant bronze, re enabling gold. The wetted surface was cut away to the last inch. The mystery in regard to her dimensions were continued. No official figures were obtainable, but a man who worked on her says her length over all Is 125 feet, her water line being S5 feet, beam 25 feet and draft 18 feet 6 inches. • Borne little difficulty was experienced in '. entering the Indian dock, but ultimately SATISFIED WITH THE COLUMBIA New Cup Deferjder Accepted by Iselin Without a Further Builder's Trial. The New Cup Defender Columbia Under Sail. gRISTOL, R. 1., June 26. — After a conference among the owners of the new cup defender Columbia, Colonel Oliver Iselin, the man aging owner, notified the Herreshoff Company this afternoon that the yacht would be accepted without a further builder's trial. The owners expressed themselves more than wuisfu-d with the per formance of the yacht in yesterday's trial. The formal transfer was made this afternoon to Mr. Iselin as managing owner of the Morgan- Iselin syndicate. The remarkable performance of the Columbia in Narragansett Bay last Sunday, when she "walked" away from the Defender, almost insures the retention of the America's cup in this country for another year at le;ust.^The picture above, representing the yacht under sail, was drawn by W. A. Coul ter, The Call's marine artist. The sails were drawn from the sailmaker's draught, a copy of which was received by The Call yesterday, and are neces sarily correct. This, with an accurate drawing of the hull and spars, made from a photograph, gives an excellent idea of the flier ad she a pp< going down the bay from Newport The rig is unique in some respects, and it Is believed the arrangement of the jibs will prove a great success. Above the jib proper is jib topsail No. 1; then comes jib topsail No. 2, and above that ls the baby jib topsail. | the Shamrock was safely berthed In the r basin, where her spars are lying. Thomas l-iipton, who was In inch spirits, was asked a question regarding the prospects of the yacht, and he said: "We have engaged to win back the Amer i. a's cup. We have fairly extended our selves and it we are beaten all I >an say is. honor to th* yacht which Is better than the Shamro.-k." William Fife Jr.. designer of the Sham rock, remarked: "Brains and all that care i ful thought and knowledge of naval archl •■ ture can put Into the yacht is there. Every man of us is satisfied that with a fair field we shall give a tight race to any opponent. The Shamrock goes around to Southampton to-morrow or Wednesday for just those little arrangements that a racing experience gives, and then for the Journey which we hope will herald the Admiral Beresford said: "I consider the hull of the Shamrock to be a remarkable triumph of construction. She is built on original lines. In the water she is ■ | Ftriklng as out of it. In my opinion her underwater construction is unique. Her apparent great beam is necessary to sat isfy the tremendous Bea of canvas. It is impossible to forecast the prospects. Tak« the case of the Meteor, which Is era ft, yet she is racing with great suc cess. The Shamrock's designer and build l er have proceeded on the soundest lines ! for lightness and speed, and if she ls not I the swiftest afloat I shall be surprised. Hut we must recollect that the Americans know a good craft, and we can depend that their Invention will run us hard."

MARKET OPENED TO CALIFORNIA TUBERS Golden State Must Supply the Army in the Philippines With Potatoes. T.OS ANGELES, June 21.— Commercial circles are considerably flurried over the prevailing condition in the potato market. The crop of 'Southern California promises to be larpo and is rapidly maturing. Tu bers are of good growth and fine quality. The Hurry arises from the extraordinary demand that has developed for exporta tion to the Philippines. The potato crop in far Eastern American possessions ls limited. As California and the Pacific Coast States will be compelled to supply the deficiency in the islands, an unusuai export demand has developed. The fe<-dinK of 35,000 American soldiers In the Philippines is a matter of deep concern to the commissary department. It is understood that Woolz & Co. of San Francisco will, as they did last year, ship under Government contract hundreds of tons of potatoes to Manila during 1599. A number of orders for shipment to the north have been canceled. Ten carloads have been shipped from Los Angeles In the past few days. "Woolf & Co. will for ward a shipload of .potatoes to Manila this week. The demand for potatoes also extends to Portland, Or., owing to the poor condition of the crop In that State. The lateness of the season there, together with recent rains, did more damage to the potato crop than was expected. COARSE ATTACK UPON ARCHBISHOP IRELAND French Writer Opposes the Advanced Views of the American . Prelate. Special Cable to The Call and the New York Herald. Copyrighted, 1899, by James Gor don Bennett. . BRUSSELS, June 26.— The Revue Gen eralc. a well-known Belgian magazine, patronized by most of the leaders of the j Catholic party, has consented to publish | a violent onslaught on Archbishop Ire i land by the French clerical writer, Rl cault d"'Hericault. The writer finds Mon signor Ireland much too advanced. He says: "The American Archbishop recently came to France as a commercial traveler of revolutionary ideas. The French Cath- I olics were struck at hearing a foreigner pretending to teach them how they were to behave themselves, and at the real scandal caused by this successor of the apostles. We offer our congratulations to i France upon having become a Free Ma -1 sonic republic, which exiles some of Its ■ priests and sends others into the army, I and closes convents. Many French pre : lates looked upon Ireland as a savage. He has been truly described as a bomb ! shell." The article, couched in coarse language. Is causing quite a scandal. NEVADA'S RECOUNT. CARSON CITY, June 26.— 1n the Gov ernorship contest before the Supremo Court Sadler practically finished his count of Esmeralda County. The objec tions to ballots of this county are even eight to eight. Sadler gained one vote in Pinegrove precinct, which was admitted by both sides. McMillan's attorneys amended their stipulation by asking the court to allow the Introduction of evi dence of Ormsby County and part of Humboldt County. The court allowed the stipulation. The afternoon session was occupied with a recount of a portion of Humboldt County, which proved of no advantage to McMillan. Upon finishing Ormsby and Humboldt counties, the entire State will be counted. The court will give its decision as soon as the canvass of the vote ls completed — probably by the end of the week.

SAYS HE WAS IMPOSED UPON THREATENS TO SUE STEAMSHIP COMPANIES. H. G. Denman Declares the Reports of Sierra Pintada Discoveries Were Started by Owners of Vessels. Special Dispatch to The Call. LOS ANGEI.ES, June 26.— H. G. Den man, an attorney of Washington, D. C, who came to Los Angeles last December for the benefit of his health, Joined the throngs that were attracted to the Sierra Pintada placers during th© recent excite ment. Denman was among the first to go to Lower California, and. declaring the reported rich finds a fako, he is highly in dignant ami threatens to bring suit against steamship companies for fostering what he alleges was an imposition upon hundreds of honest but sincere men. "In my opinion every transportation company wnich in any way encouraged the gigantic fake that led scores to go and : seek their fortunes in the San Rogue placer fields should be prosecuted," said ! Denman to-day. "I am not at all sure ! that 1 shall not return to this coast ;is j soon as possible and bring suit for dam ages against one of the companies at least on my own account. "While visions of a great fortune quick ly and easily acquired undoubtedly floated before my mental vision," continued Den- I man. In telling of his experience, "I be lieve my desire to go through the exciter ment of a mining boom was my greatest Incentive to make the Journey. I had read bo much of the wild life of the early min ing camps of Colorado and California 1 thought it would be a thrilling experience to be part and parcel of the life of one of the new camps In San Rogue. I made the i ocean trip from San Diego on one of the Bhipa that profited most by the excite '■ ment and then w.-nt overland to the al leged placer Melds on horseback. 1 paid $1.) a day for the use of the horse. A hall day In San Rogue district was sufficient to "convince me 1 had been made tht; vic tim of a gigantic fake. The steamer ac ! commodations were not of the best and I the trip overland had been hot, dusty and : disagreeable. . .. T ••] am not alone in my indignation. I found many victims as thoroughly angry as myself. Many of these were in a much worse nx. The men had spent every cent ' to get to the camp and were almost pen-; liil.ss. They had accepted the stones of ; a tremendously rich strike having been made, and thought that all that was n.-c --essary to acquire riches was to reach ban Koque Many of these poor fellows were working desperately in the almost bar ren dirt when I left, in hope of grettinz sufficient gold from the earth to pay then passage home. But theirs was an almost hopeless task, and in preference to un dertaking such a Job, many of the men who found themselves 'strapped among the Impoverished placers started to tramp back to civilization. "In my opinion the ship owners ami and transportation companies that were benefited by the rush to San Roque--or some of them, at least— took advantage of the fact that a few Mexicans and In dians were digging from four bits to a dollar's worth of gold a day each out of the placers, to spring a gigantic fake. I think they are liable. A man would have to take out at least $20 in gold a day at San Rogue to make the venture a paying 1 one." • RUNAWAY GIRL CAUGHT.

NEW ACT PROHIBITS TRUSTS BUT THE SYNDICATE PROCEEDS IN SECURING OPTIONS. Prominent Stockmen of the Opinion That the Combine Will Benefit the Great Industry of the Lone Star State. Special Dispatch to The Call. AT'STIN, Tex.. June 26.— Attorney Gen- ! era! T. S. Smith stated to-day that he would keep his eye on the gigantic syndi cate that is now seeking to get control i of all the rattle In Texas. Under the pro visions of the anti-trust law of the State the live-stock industry is exempt, but there Is no such exemption in the new anti trust law which goes into effect January 31, 1900. If the present combination of capita] that is securing options on all th.: available cattle and ranches in Texas in in the nature of a trust within the mean ing of the new and far-reaching anti-trust act, and should it be In operation when the law becomes effective, it will meet with a vigorous prosecution at the hands of the State. It is the opinion of prominent stockmen that the operations of the syndicate will be of benefit to the cattle industry and | that it will be impossible for them to i frieze out the cattlemen, who will profit by the raise in prices. Should the pyndi- | cate be successful in its present negotia tions, it is the intention to stock up its | ranches to the limit and by a concentra tion of effort to handle the stock on a mere economical basis than is being done \ at presi nt. According to reliable information ob tained here to-day, the great syndicate has already secured options on the; ranches and cattle of the following ex- ; tensive stockmen of the Panhandle coun try: Johnson Brothers, ('. < '.
