"rer? perfection in fit. They looked as If they might. have been carved out of alabaster. It was soon apparent that the white flyer was forging ahead. The clear water began to show between them. The Columbia not only seemed to out foot the challenger, but experts saw that she pointed higher. It was astonishing how she sliced her way up into, the wind. Within fifteen minutes fhe7iad a lead of Ave lengths and Trora that time on the race was hers. The patriots were Jubilant and the bands, which "began playing, never stopped until the race was over, Columbia seemed more tender than the foreigner, showing yards of her bronxe body as she leaned away witn her Ice rail almost awash. Steadily she continued to draw ahead until within half an hour, having unequivocally demonstrated fcer superiority in windward work, it became only a question of how far the white flyer would teat her to the outer mark. As the yachts got farther out the seas grew more turbulent and the" sjTay spurted higher from their bows. Many excursionists came to grief and the tugboats, plunging through the head seas, sent the spray all over, their pilot houses. The work of the patrol fleet was perfect. The revenue cutters line to leeward and the torpedo boats' line abreas astern held the "yachts In the hollow of a moving right angle, . which changed direction with each tack and kept the yachts as free from Interference as if tney had been sailing in thf. middle of the Atlantic.- i The Shamrock footed valiantly, but neither In speed nor in pointing could she compare with the Columbia. Then the three fkjpperB on the challenger put their heads together and tried new tactics. The Shamrr.ck made a dozen short, boards. Evidently her skippers were under the impression that she was quicker. on bet heel and tetter at forereaching than the Yankee, but the Columbia proved as nimble as Shamlock. Timed by a stop watch, both boats were fifteen seconds In stays, and when the Britishers wilte home they wili'tell their friends that the white beauty was fully as clever as the challenger at forereaching. INCREASED HER LEAD. When Shamrock got through with this line of-tactics Columbia had Increased her lead until she was half a mile ahead. At the end of another half hour, as the wind continued to freshen. Shamrock took' In her baby Jib topsail, figuring that without this light headsail she might be able to hug the wind closer. Columbia held on to her, and as Shamrock did not improve her position at the end of ten minutes, her skippers again set the sail. By 1 o'clock Shamrock was fully a mile and a half astern and the Columbia was a winner all over. As the Associated Press boat, on her way to the outer mark, pawed the Manning, Captain Evans, who was on the bridge, shouted: "Ain't she a peach?" Nothing could have been prettier than the way Columbia swept around the outer mark, gracefully as a swan. Both boats had edged far to the southward of their course, and, as the rules required that the mark should be passed on the starboard hand, Columbia tacked down to port and came over on the starboard tack as she approached the float. As she neared It her spinnaker pole was like a knight's lanc.e in rest. As she swung around she eased oft fcer main boom, let her spinnaker pole drop to port, and. breaking out the cloud of canvas, fled homeward like a scared deer. Her big balloon Jib blossomed out forty seconds later. The few ships of the excursion fleet at the outer mark gave her a rousing reception. The Shamrock was already hopelessly beaten. A quarter of a tnile from the home run the Columbia crossed the path of the Shamrock, still beating to windward, and robbed her of the wind as she went past. It was nine minutes and forty-nine seconds later when Shamrock wung round the mark and squared away for the finish. The excursion boats, however, , hung on until she had rounded and gave her an ovation. - SIMPLY A PROCESSION. . The Columbia was already almost two miles away, and in the thickening mist could hardly be discerned. The bells In the engine rooms of the excursion boats jingled for full speed and they went plowing down on either side of the course to be In at the death. 'Sir Thomas's steam yacht Erin, however, remained abeam of the chal'cnger, giving what moral support he could to his beaten boat. Sir Thomas and his friends aboard looked fully as disconsolate as they felt. Some of them seemed to have lost all Interest In the landscape and were hanging over the rail looking down at the water. Sir Thomas, however, remained cn the bridge, with his eyes glued on the boat in which his hope had so lately centered, and a group of sailors forward seemed to be trying to make out the outlines of the -anishing Yankee in the thick gloom. From that time It was simply a procession. There was a soul-stlrrlng scene as the Columbia approached the finish. The excursion boats had gathered thero In a semicircle to give her welcome, nd as she swept across the finish bedlam broke loose. The steam whistles shrieked, sirens wailed, the Corsair, the flagship of the New York Yacht Club, and several other yachts, flung their powder Into smoke and the multitudes on the decks of the slde-wheelers cheered. The Corsair hauled down all her private signals and set old glory at each mast WEATHER FORECAST.

head and gaff and taffrail. The crew of the Columbia gathered aft, hurrahed vrith bared heads; then, as she lowered her headsalU and took the tow line from her tender, the crowd waited .over ten minutes until the Shamrock bad crossed and the fleet had given her stentorian expression of good will. Then they turned on their heels and scampered after the Columbia, crowding about her and cheering her again ard again, while the bands played "Hall Columbia." "Yankee Doodle" and other patriotic aiTs. They escorted her all the way down to her anchorage Insidethe Hook. The race to-morrow will be ovr the triangular course, ten miles to the leg, and the Shamrock will have r.n opportunity to show what Fhe can do at her favorite point, of sailing. The weather office here received the following dispatch to-night fiom Willis Moore, chief of the bureau at Washington: "During Tuesday the wind will be from easterly to southerly, with a velocity rf from ten to twenty miles an hour." The betting to-night is about 10 to 6 on the Columbia for the series, and some money Is being offered at 2 to 1. The betting has undergone curious changes. Before the first attempt at a race the ruling odds were about 10 to 7. After several flukes, on account of the good showing of the Shamrock, even money was offered In rome Instances. To-day's race had the effect, however, of making the Columbia the decided favorite, though little money is being wagered. - ' STORY OF THE RACE!.

Technical Description of the Jlnneuverlnjg and Sprinting? of the Yachts. NEW YORK, Oct. 16. The crews of both yachts had breakfast early, and when they turned to" soon after 8 o'clock a. m., it was with a will, for, in spite of the rather hazy weather, there was a good breeze from the eastward which promised to Increase and give the yachts a good race at last. Jibs and staysails were sent up In stops on the stays, racing hatches put on, boats lashed, and everything made snug before 3 o'clock. At 3:13 the Columbia cast off from her moorings and was taken in tow by a tug. The Shamrock started in tow a few minutes later. Covers were on the mainsails and club topsails to keep them dry un til the last moment, as there was Just enough fine rain to dampen them. At 10 o'clock both yachts had reached the east end of Gedney's channel, and at 10:10 the Columbia's crew began hoisting the mainsail. It was set in five minutes. The Shamrock's mainsail began to go up at the same time, but it was fully fifteen minutes before the sail was set. At 10:25 both yachts cast off their tow lines, -broke out their J fibs and mastheaded their No. 2 club topsails. The Columbia also sent up her baby Jib topsails on the stay. At the same time the commlftee boat, Walter Luckenbach, anchored due south of the Sandy Hook lightship and sent up the course signals: it was east, making It a beat dead to windward of fifteen miles and a run back if the wind held from the same quarter. The regatta committee meant business this morning, for a few minutes later they started the tug to leg off the course, and at 10:43 the preparatory signal was made. Both yachts then began maneuvering for positions, and at 10:55. when the warning signal was given, they were playing for a weather berth to the northward of the line, the Shamrock breaking out her staysail at this time. When two minutes were left before the starting signal, both yachts were heading, a coupie of lengths apart, to the westward with booms to port, the Columbia to windward. At one minute, the Shamrock began to keep off for the committee boat, which was lying at the south end of the line. Captain Hogarth's Intention, apparently, being to stop the Columbia, then a length or so astern, from getting the weather beech. SHAMROCK OUTMANEUVERED. When the starting gun was fired Shamrock had run parallel with the line to nearly the center of it. She still held her course until nearly over to the lightship before she began to luff across the line. Captain Barr, on the Columbia, held his yacht well In hand, being at this time a good length astern, with sheets flat aft. He began to luff the moment Hogarth did and, shooting Columbia across the Shamrock's wake, he sent her across the line more than fifty yards to windward of the challenger and with such a good overlap on her that, according to the offlcial time, fhe was only three seconds astern. The official time of the start was: Shamrock ......... ..... ............. ....11:01:03 Columbia ........ ..........11:01:06 Both yachts were now close hauled on the starboard tack and were carrying exactly the same sail mainsail, clubtopsall. Jib foresail and baby Jib topall. As soon as the sheets were trimmed all hands, except the men stationed at the head sheets. Jumped for the weather side and huddled close down to the starboard rail, while the skippers watched each other like hawks. There were not many yachts or excursion steamers out In time to see the start. Those on board the small fleet had a splendid view of the start, and the first ten minutes after it were anxious ones for the frelnds of both yachts. After that time it was all over but the shouting. In five minutes Columbia had widened the distance to windward between herself and Shamrock fully a length. She heeled more than the latter 'boat, but her sails were all full and she was pointing higher from the moment she started. Capt. Hogarth, thinking his boat would be able to outfoot Columbia sufficiently to tack across her bow, a little later gave her a good rap full. The green boat responded nobly and to tome It appeared that she, was passing the Columbia very fast. So she was, but she was losing outward ground every minute. When Shamrock tacked to port at 11:13 and Columbia thirty seconds later it was seen that Barr had so placed his boat on the weather bow of the Shamrock as to spill the back wind into Shamrock's sails. Hogarth was obliged to keep broad off for about thirty seconds to get out from under the Columbia's lee. By 11:20 the Bristol boat was an eighth of a mile to windward and outfootlng and outpointing her rival all the time. Captain Hogarth, finding that the Shamrock would not point aa high as Columbia, flattened down his sheets as hard as he dared and had to be contented with giving her a good full and letting her go at thaU A MARINE DUEL. Shamrock went about to starboard at 11:33:30 and Columbia five seconds later. At 11:43:20. when Shamrock again tacked to port. Columbia was fully a quarter of a mile to windward of her. The latter tacked five seconds later. Captain Hogarth was cettir.g desperate now and resorted to short tacking in the hope that his boat would forereach sufficiently to make a material gain to windward At the conclusion of the marine duel between the two yachts Hogarth found himself farther to leeward than ever. Columbia having been, if anything, quicker In stays and a better fore-reacher. At 12:50:15. when Shamrock settled down again to business on the port tack, and Columbia, after standing on two minutes lcr.ger, came about to the same tack, it was found that the Bristol boat was half a mile dead to windward of her rival. In three more tacks Columbia still Increased her windward lead. The Shamrock people at 12:2. took in her baby Jib topsail, hoping that she might point higher, but it was in vain, for in ten minutes they set the eall again. It was taken in twenty minutes laier for a few minutes. Each yacht made twenty-two tacks in the windward work and in all thepe Shamrock took the Initiative. Captain Barr waited for Hogarth to tack and with but one or two exceptions he put Columbia about within thirty seconds of the other boat. The last half dozen tacks made were longer than the others. The outer mark, which had been obscured by fog. was visible from the yachts oon after 1:30. The wind became lighter as they approached it. but it in creased a little In force as Columbia made her last tack. She looked very handsome as pno approached the mark on the port tack. Smartly the crew launched her spinnaker boom out to port before she had fairly made the turn and squared away on her home ward course and the great sail was broken out from steps the same moment the main boom swung far off to starboard. They were exactly S3 seconds setting the spinnaker. 8hamrock men beat them only five seconds in this work. The offlcial time at the turn was: Columbia 1:48:19 Shamrock 1:SS:8 This shows that the Columbia was 9 mln utea 49 seconds ahead. The elapsed time of the Columbia for the fifteen miles was 2 hours 47 minutes 13 seconds: of the Sham rock 2 houra 67 minutes I seconds, showing

Columbia's gain from the actual start had been 9 minutes 52 seconds. This was a great victory for Columbia, for both yachts had covered the distance in a steady breeze and at no time were they far enough apart to benefit by any puffs1 of wind. ' THE RACE FOR HOME. Columbia's balloon Jib topsail was set Immediately after the spinnaker and the headsails were hauled down. She began her fifteen-mile run to the finish at about eight knots an hour. Shamrock's balloon Jib topsail was set seven minutes after rounding the outer mark and for a time it seemed as though she was overhauling Cloumbla. At the time that appeared to be a reasonable conclusion because she being the stern boat was in position to take advantage of any squalls that might come along. It soon became evident, however, that her apparent gain was only imaginary and that the Columbia was not only holding her own, but as the figures showed later, she was really gaining. The finish line marked by the committee boat and the Sandy Hook light, was not visible until the yachts were wit'hin a ; couple of miles of It. Then there was a 'rush of steamers to reach the goal ahead of the yachts. It could not be called an exciting finish, nor was it a tame one altogether. So few boats were present to witness it and th weather so depressing that as a spectacle the finish might be called a poor one. Both in time and distance the yachts were so far apart that it was ai rather poor finish from a sportsman's view. When Columbia, her great yellow mainsail broad off to starboard, swept across the finish line Shamrock was scarcely visible astern, only the outlines of her sails being seen. Ten minutes and eleven seconds in time elapsed between the finishing of Columbia and Shamrock, which meant in distance about a mile and a half. The official time was: Columbia 3:54:59 Shamrock 4.05.10 Official Summary. Columbia. Shamrock. Start 11:01:06 11:01:03 Finish 3:54:59 4:05:10 Elapsed time 4:53:53 5:04:07 Corrected time 4:53:53 5:04:01 Thus Columbia wins by ten minutes fourteen seconds actual, and ten minutes eight seconds corrected time. The elapsed time of the Columbia from the outer mark to the finish was two hours, six minutes, forty seconds; Shamrock, two hours, seven minutes, two seconds, showing that In the fif-tten-mlle run before t'he wind Columbia had' gained twenty-two seconds. After the race, while the yachts were being towed back to their moorings. Sir Thomas Llpton's steam yacht Erin ranged alongside Columbia. The Erin's officers and men. led by Sir Thomas, gave three hearty cheers. They were quickly responded to with three cheers from Columbia's men, led by Oliver Iselin. A number of yachts fired guns as salutes to both yachts at the finish. The flagship Corsair was among them and as soon as the American yacht had crossed the line Commodore Plerpont Morgan ordered American ensjgns to be hoisted a.t each masthead. Every steamer saluted with whistles and the Shamrock's welcome was quite as noh as Columbia's. The yachts and the excursion fleet soon vanished In the mist, homeward bound. , WHAT THE YACHTSMEN SAID.

Llpton Admitted He Was Deaten Fairly Iselin Well Satisfied. IEW YORK. Oct. 16. Sir Thomas- Llpton -took his defeat with the spirit of a true sportsman. "It was a fair and square race," said he. "We were beaten fairly. No two boats ever sailed a better race and they were equally well handled aa far a9 I could see." Speaking of the Columbia, he said: "She is a fine, fast boat and was splendidly sailed. We gave her three rousing cheers and her people responded right heartily. Mr. Iselin and those associated with him on board are honorable gentlemen and. I wish to say that it is a pleasure to sail against such competitors." Asked if he wished to say something about Shamrock. Sir Thomas said: "My boat was well sailed and the sails were well handled. I have no complaint. As I saltl before. It was a square race and we were fairly beaten. We shall have another race to-morrow. I hope, and I think there will be plenty of wind for both yachts." All thone on board the Erin who saw the race agreed that there were no flukes and that both yachts were sailed on their merits. When the Associated Press reporter visited the St. . Michael's after the race C. Oliver Iselin. Mrs. Iselin and a party of friends had just arrived from the Columbia and were gathered aft of the little pilot house. There was no particular sign of exultation on the face of the managing owner of the cup defender, though he did look well satisfied. "I don't know." he said, "that I have any particular comment to make. We won to-day because we had the better boat. I have felt that all along: now others, I think, will admit it. We are ready to race to-morrow and as for wind and sea we are prepared to take our chances with both. The boat sailed well to-day. During the race we dld not have a hitch or accident of any sort. Everything stood the strain In a perfect manner." The crew of the Columbia were boarding the tender for supper as the reporter drew away. Their enthusiasm was a little more apparent than that of the Iselin group and Captain Barr. who sat in the stern of his boat, smiled in his own quiet way. Only a few of the members of the New York Yacht Club were at the clubhouse tonight. "Just what we expected." said Sec retary Oddle. "Perhaps the people who knew it all and were so free in criticising may look at it in a different light from now on. Columbia is the better boat in a light wind and she is better In a gale than in a breeze like that of to-day." Very few of the Englishmen and their sympathizers were to be found at the rooms of the Royal Ulster Yacht Club at the Waldorf-Astoria to-night. Mr. McGllldowney, the only one who would talk, 6ald his party naturally felt disappointed. "The Columbia won fairly," he said. "The Shamrock did not do as well as we hoped. But the race Is far from over, mind, and we will have a different story to tell when it Is." OX BOARD THE ERIN. Few of Sir Thomas Llpton's Friends Witnessed the Waterloo. NEW YORK. Oct. 15. For the first time lnce the present series of races began there was practically no one aboard the Erin to witness the Shamrock's defeat save Sir Thomas Llpton and those who temporarily live aboard with him. These Included Lord Charles and Lady Bcresford, Chevalier de Martins. Hon. and Mrs. J. V. Prairie. Dr. Mackay and a few others of Sir Thomas's most intimate friends.. The reason for this was twofold, one being the fact that the lowering skies and damp, chill winds prevented many of the ladles who have heretofore enjoyed the hospitality of Sir Thomas from venturing on the trip and another is found in the fact that Sir Thomas himself, despairing ofa race in the early morning-, advised the abandonment of the customary trip to Sandy Hook in his chartered tugboat. Sir Tnomas. Lord Beresford and Dr. Mackay watched the race from the bridge of the big yacht as they have done before. For a few minutes after the line was crossed and while the echoing of the starting g in still hung tumultuously In the air they were almost Jubilant. Then as the Shamrock appeared for a few brief moments to be gaining on her fleet-winged rival their spirits rose and their faces showed the gratification they felt. It was clearly from the then prevailing indications to be a repetition of the contests of the first, second and third days, except that the prospects of a finish with the green boat in the van seemed brishter than had ever been the case, t ive. ten, and then fifteen minutes passed and the hones of the little group on the Erin's bridge gradually sank lower and lower as the white hull slowly crept away in front of the one of the emerald hue. Another half hour and a full length of a mile sep arated the racers, the challenger still bring ing up the rear. Their apprehension gave way to fear and fear, in turn, made way for certainty as the distance widened and grew aoace until the boat that Herreshoff de signed turnM the windward mark so far ahead of that which the brain of Fife evolved that nothing but an accident to the leader coull alter the result. No such acci dent was to be expected and Sir Thomas was too true a sportsman to hope for such a thing. So he and his companions resigned themselves to the inevitable and of all the tugs. Fteamers and yachts whose whistles saluted the victor none blew more snniiy than that of the yacht owned by the gallant gentleman who still hopes to take away the cup. When the race was over three cheers were Mven for the victor and If they were not as loud as has heretofore been the case it was because of the diminished number of Ter pens on board the lt.rin. XO JOY IX LOXDOX TOWX. Editor Howerer, Hope for sv Differ ent Story To-Day. LONDON, Oct 17. The Daily News says editorially this mornlns: 'The Chamrocls

was handsomely beaten. This is the more mystifying, as the weather was that in which the Shamrock is said to revel. Every prediction has been falsified, for she only began to pull up on the home stretch when the wind had fallen. According to our correspondent, seamanship had a deal to do with it. The Shamrock was outpointed and outfooted from the start. The probability is the yachts are as nearly equal as can be, and all the difference lies in the Judgment in which they were sailed. There is nothing left but to wish Tor mild breezes. Meantime, hall Columbia for a very creditable piece of work." The Morning Post admits that the Columbia pointed better than the Shamrock and says: "If we merely had yesterday's race on which to base calculations we should be obliged to acknowledge that the Columbia Is the better boat. The records of the abortive races tell a different story, and the Columbia certainly had the best of the wind at a critical part of the race. The sole excuse that can be urged for the Shamrock is that she did not sail as well as was expected." The Post describes yesterday's winds as light and still prays for stiff breezes. The Daily Mall, remarking that theShamrock was not so well handled or that the Columbia was much better handled than previously, says: "Better luck next time." The Standard expresses surprise that the Columbia won so easily and says: "The only inference is that in a moderate breeze to windward and with a smooth sea the Columbia Is the faster vessel. Any way, it will probably silence the American criti

cism of the manner In which Iselin and Earr sail the boat. There is no reason yet for the Shamrock's supporters to despair." The Times says: "Sir Thomas llpton is far too good a sportsman to be discouraged by W9 Initial defeat. The yachts must have defects in their qualities and probably the yacht has still to be built which will show to equal advantage In a rough sea and a smooth one. In a lleht breeze and in a half gale. Taking the two yacnts as we know them, we can hardly deny that tne bnamrock's performance Is disappointing for us and pleasantly surprising for the Americans. Our correspondent says the Columbia won fairly and squarely on her merits, from which we infer that the Shamrock to some extent was outgeneraled and can only "hope for better luck next time." The Daily Chronicle says: "The result Is Inexplicable, but it's only fair to the own er, the captain and crew of the Shamrock to await the result of the-next race." The Dublin papers reflect the tone of dis appointment shown in London, but take consolation from the fact that mere are still four races to be sailed. The Irish Dally Independent says: "Nothing could be more excellent than the handling of the Shamrock, but the best boat won." The Freeman s Journal says: "The defeat was a pity," but declares it has not lost nope In the ability of the Shamrock to win the cup and expresses satisfaction that no unpleasant Incidents occurred. The Dublin Dally Express expresses the hope that only luck was against Shamrock. Poetry nnd the Yacht Race. Over at the Kingan packing house there has been an Intense Interest In the yacht race, and while there is a large percentage of native Irishmen employed there, the sentiment has not all been for the Shamrock. The poet of the office force had his inning yesterday when the Columbia crossed the line first, and this is the way he sounded his jubilation: Tht nftprnnon was fndlnar fast. When round the stakeboat swiftly passed A boat, sail-spread and straining mast Columbia. Sir Thomas Lldon stalked his deck And fixed his eye on the lessening speck; Quoth he: "I've got it in the neck. That s no joke. When the Columbia crossed the line Ahead by something over nine Minutes, there wasn t any sign Uf Shamrock. Sir Thomas Lipton tore his hair And cursed himself in his despair. "They called me, but I wasn t there. He muttered. IT WAS DE PAUW'S GAME. Indianapolis Tniversity Defeated by the Score of 28 to O. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. G REBNCA STLE, Ind., Oct. 16. De Pauw defeated the University of Indianapolis elev en to-day in a one-sided game by a score of 2S to 0. The visitors had plenty of beef in their team, but lacked skill and team work. The game was decidedly sat isfactory to the De Pauw enthusiasts, and for the first timo this season they got a line on their team. The interference of the locals was good and the whole team was In form. They put up a snappy game, making good end plays and going through tho visitors' line at will. There was no kicking. Cartwrlght, Fisher. Keep, Blakely, Swlnehart and Peterson did good work and always made good gains. Owing to the heat but twenty-minute halves were played. In the second half the De Pauw 'varsity team was withdrawn ' and the entire second eleven, with "Dutch" Welk at their head, was sent in. They showed their , skill by making two touchdowns against the visitors. Coach Ford is getting his team in fine shape, and their present form is an indication that they will be a factor in the State race, when real football weather sets in. The line-up follows: U. of I.

Dunkirk scored a goal In the first five minutes' play, but failed to kick goal. After that not a score could be made by the visitors, while the Normal boys made a touchdown and Pollock klckc 1 goal, winning the game. The game was hard fought, mass plays being In evidence throughout. Parker Defeat Daly Hi Three Ronnds. CHICAGO, Oct. 16. "Kid" Parker, of Denver, defeated Jack Daly, of Chicago, In three rounds to-night. The bout was to have been for six rounds, but at the end of t'he third Daly's seconds threw up the sponge. General Sporting: Xews. Pitcher Mercer, of the Washington club, has signed a contract with the team for the season of 1900. The first of the post-season series pf games between the Philadelphia and Brooklyn National League ball clubs, which was scheduled for yesterday at Philadelphia, was postponed on account of threatening weather. . THE CHURCH IN CUBA. Its Position Regarding Property Defined by the Bishop of Havana. HAVANA. Oct. 16. The Bishop of Havana to-day said the public hitherto had heard only one side of the church story and he reauested the Associated Press to say that the church does not hold any property or receive any Income to which it is not en titled. In some cases, said the bishop, where money had been left to certain religious societies for masses and the societies had ceaed to exist the church had undertaken to say the masses, taking over as payment the property left. The bishop said the Cubans are not more hostile to the church than are the Spaniards, who pillaged church property whenever they could find an excuse for doing so.

PARLIAMENT TO OPEX TO-DAY. Her Majesty's Reasons for Calling Her Legislature In Session. LONDON, Oct. 16. The Queen's speech at the opening of Parliament to-morrow will declare that Parliament has been sum moned at an unusual date for a specific purpose, and that this course has been rendered necessary by two circumstances: First Her Majesty's proclamation calllnsr out the reserves is necessarily followed by the summoning of Parliament within ten days. Second The position of ana Irs in south Africa demands the attention of the legislature. lier Majesty will then declare that her general relations with ioreign powers are peaceful, a state of affairs which, unfortunately, does not annly to the Transvaal. The House of Commons will be invited to provide ways and means necessary to prosecute the British policy in South Africa. The speech will conclude with a promise that, when the proper time arrives, the legislative programme of the government regarding matters of internal interest will be submitted to the House of Commons. In the absence of the ministerial and opposition dinners which are usually given on the eve of the opening of parliamentary session, at which the contents of the Queen's speech are generally made known, the speech was privately communicated to the leaders of the opposition late this afternoon. Sir William Vernon Harcourt and John Morley will undoubtedly make statements of their views to-morrow, but their actions will be guided largely by the line which Sir Henry Campbell Rannerman, leader of the opposition in the House of Commons, takes up. It is considered Improbable that Mr. Morley will vote for a hostile amendment if Sir Henry Campbell Rannerman moves what he considers a reasonable and appropriate one. The Irish leaders, however, are certain to move an amendment condemning the government's policy, though their following In a division and the lobby Is likely to be small. The advanced Radicals will meet to-morrow to deliberate upon the line they shall follow and although It Is fairly certain that any subject but the Transvaal will be ruled out of order, James Galloway Weir, member for Ross and Cromarty, has decided to test the point by giving notice of an amendment on the Crofter question.

The Guildhall was packed with people. A band stationed in the orchestral gallery led off in patriotic airs, which were taken up by the audience, amid the wavinsr of num berless union Jacks. The lord mayor and the snerm9 were louaiy cneerea on arriving, and the name of President Kruger provoked a storm of "poohs!" The lord mayor presided at the meeting. A resolution extolling the premier, Lord Salisbury, and the secretary of state for the colonies, Mr. Chamberlain, was proposed by Alderman Sir Reginald Hanson, seconded by Sir John Lubbock. Unionist member of Parliament for London University, and enthusiastically adopted. Enthusiastic demonstrations took place to-day at Birmingham. Crews other towns for which soldiers started for Aldershot. Her Majesty has subscribed 5.000 to the lord mayor's fund for South African refugees, which has already reached 75Vrt The Atlantic Transport Company, which gave the United States government a ship for hospital purposes during the war with Spain, has now done Great IJrltain a similar service.

Among other things he says; "People are leaving by thousands, fleeing for their lives. It Is strange to see the trains pull out. Men are as timid as wom en, and the panic is awful. All the leaders of the agitation have cleared out and left the people here to starve. The leaders of this business are the most cowardly lot of curs ever allowed to breathe the breath of life.

It may cost her dearly before It Is all over. I have very little sympathy with the Pre toria government, but 1 admire the Dutch people throughout South Africa in their desire to be free and independent, and even it the English whip the Dutch they will never make brltons out of them. The English, as individuals, are as nice a reopie as anyone would wish to meet and I am glad of the good feeling existing between England and America, but. at tne same time, i mina England is making a big mistake In this country." PROBABLY A FAKE. Rumor that the Astor Battery "Will . Join the Doers. . CHICAGO, Oct. 16. The Post says an ef fort is being made to reorganize the Astor Battery, of New York, which was tendered to this government by John Jacob Astor at the breaking out of the Spanish war and served eleven months In the Philip pines, and tender it to President Kruger for service against the British.
