NARROW ESCAPE OF THE KING
Sir Thomas Lipton Intimates That the
Accident May Necessitate tho I'ostponcment
of the Cup Races? He "U"as
the Only Person Struck, and Momentarily
Stunned ? His Story of Mishap.
Southampton. England. ? The most
dramatic incident in the history or the
America's Cup occurred when a sudden
squall on the Solent completely
. wrecked the new challenger and endangered
the lives of King Edward
and several other distinguished persons.
including Sir Thomas Lipton.
The results of this disaster, the occuri
rence of which without loss of life,
seems almost miraculous, can best be
judged by the written statement made
by Sir Thomas Lipton as follows:
"My deepest regret is that the accident
prevents me from toeing the
mark at the appointed hour, and compels
me to ask the New York Yacht
Club to grant me an extension of time.
If they will be good enough to do that
I shall race, even if I have to build a
boat between now and the date agreed
upon. I still believe the Shamrock II.
a boat worthy to be the challenger,
and that, when this unfortunate chap
ter of accidents comes to an end, she
"will still stand a good chance of lifting
the cup. I have not a single complaint
to make against my boat.
"For the many telegrams of sympathy
received from America I am deep.ly
grateful. No one is more thankful
than I am that the catastrophe ended
without fatality, and I may perhaps
0 say that throughout the trying moments
His Majesty was as brave as a
lion. His first thought was to inquire
if any one was injured.
"THOMAS LIPTON."
Circumstances have reduced the
Shamrock II. to a pitiless, sparless
wreck. The story of the catastrophe
Is best told by Sir Thomas Lipton himself.
After seeing his royal guest off
for London Sir Thomas said, in answer
to inquiries:
"We had just begun to make for the
starting line when a fierce breeze
sprang up. King Edward, Lady Londonderry,
Mrs. Jameson, Mr. Watson,
Mr. Jameson and myself were on deck,
hanging on as best we migbt, for the
challenger was almost at an angle of
forty-live degrees. The King started
to go below*; just as he did so everything
collapsed. A heavy block fell
between the two ladies, and a wire
rope struck me on the head and momentarily
stunned me. A sudden
squall, an unexpected strain, and
everything had given way. King Edward
was half way in and half way
out of the companion hatchway. What
happened, how all the falling spars
and sweeping sails did not kill or
sweep some one overboard is more
than I know. When I came to I saw
the King clambering over the wreckage,
trying to discover the extent of
the damage and asking: 'Is any one
hurt?'"
It is further learned that Sir
\ Thomas's first utterance on coming to
was this ardent adjuration to Mr. Watson:
"Telegraph for more spars. We have
got to sail on August 20, and this boat
has got to do it."
When the distinguished participators
in the mishap had been safely transferred
to the Erin, the King's first remark
-was:
"When shall we sail again, Lipton?"
and before His Majesty started for
London his last words to Sir Thomas
were:
"When you next sail I am going
with you."
Sir Thomas calculates that a delay
of three weeks or a month in the date
of the contest in American waters will,
enable him to come to the scratch. He
says that he is greatly handicapped
by the fact that he has no duplicate
masts for the Shamrock II., but by an
unlimited expenditure of money and
energy he believes the defects can be
remedied in time to provide for an in
- ternational race this year.
The damage done to the challenger
is estimated at $10,000. as nearly every
scrap of her g?ar is gone.

THE FAIR'S DEDICATION
Formal Opening of the Pan-Ameri
can Exposition at Buffalo.
ROOSEVELTTHEGUEST OF HONOR
Parades, Addresses, Concerts and Illumination
Mark the Beginning or the
Great Exhibition?Greetings From the
Presidents of the American RepublicsBuffalo
Brilliantly Decorated.
Buffalo, N. Y.?In the presence of a
vast concourse of people, with ceremonial
both conventional and novel,
the Pan-Ameriecn Exhibition was
formally dedicated on Monday. The
day's total admissions were 101,687.
The <|ay began with a parade, in
which there were men from almost
every country in the world, and ended
with an aerial bombardment from flying
bombs and a brilliant electrical Illumination.
Between tne two were xne iormai
exercises of the dedication, with oratory
that took Its theme from the
lesson of the time, prayer, music, song
and poetry. The city was bright in
dress of flags and bunting, the exhibition
group was brilliant in color, the
moving crowds were in holiday garb
and the whole effect was highly pleasing.
Vice-President Roosevelt- was the
guest of honor, and when he reached
the hall the parade was started with a
volley of aerial bombs. Two thousand
troops, who got their time from four
bands, led the way, and after them
were a hundred carriages with the officials
and guests.
Behind them came the concessionaires
from the Midway, Western Indians
mingled with the children of the
tropics, the Orient and the Mediterranean,
and gave the procession its
truest touch of color. They were in
native costume, had a score of artistic
floats, and fifteen bands furnished
music foj them.
The entry of the procession to the
fair grounds at noon was a magnificent
spectacle. Dozens of great kites
carrying streamers floated high in the
air. The troops were halted in the
fore court and then formed in double
columns across the Bridge of Triumph.
The formal dedicatory ceremonies,
in the presence of a crowd limited only
by the size of the hall, were Impressive.
There were strong words for
closer union among the American re
publics ana the remarks or vice-r-resident
Roosevelt on that point and the
congratulatory telegrams from the
presidents of the American republics
excited the greatest enthusiasm.
All of the American republics were
represented at the dedication. President
Milburn read a series of con
gratulatory telegrams and tneir reaaing
provoked cheer upon cheer. Mayor
Conrad Diehl then made the address
of welcome. Robert Cameron Rogers
recited a poem. When Vice-President
Roosevelt was presented he was
cheered vigorously.
Senator Lodge and Lieutenant-Governor
Woodruff also were received enthusiastically.
When Mr. Woodruff
[ had finished the chorus, audience and
band united in "America." The benediction
was by Bishop William D.
Walker. The closing musical number
was an inspiring march by the Seventy-first
Regiment Band.
At the end of the exercises in the
Temple of Music there was a display
of day fireworks on tne Esplanada.
Twenty-seven twelve-foot gas balloons,
each lettered with the names of one
of the Pan-American countries and
farrvini? below ;_e flair of its country.
were released. Forty-five aerial rockets
were fired, one for each State in
the Union. The night feature was the
electrical show. The electrical tower
was a dazzling column of light and
the play of the lights on fbuntains below
produced most beautiful effects.

Ayres, a census office clerk, in the
Kenr.ore Hotel recently, and which

ton more than any tragedy in several

from Mrs. Lulu I. Bonine, a
married woman, and a guest at the

ended Ayres's life had been fired in a
struggle between herself and Ayres.
Mrs. Bonine's husband is a commercial
traveler.
The confession was entirely voluntary.
Mrs. Bonine appeared at the
office of Major Sylvester. Chief of Police,
saying that she had a statement
which she wished to make, and she
was immediately turned over to Detective
Horne, who took her confession.
She said that she was alone in Ayres's

EXPOSITION.
At the commencement of the affair
she said that Ayres had come to her ,
room in the T'enmore Hotel about 2
o'clock a. m., and upon the pretence
of being ill had gained admission to
her room. He complained of feeling

asked her to give him some preventive.
She had given him, she said, a medicine
which she had in her room, and
he had then referred to some differences
which they had in the past and
had asked her to come to his room,
where they might quietly talk the matter
over and come to an amicable understanding.
She had agreed to go to
the room as he had requested, and he
left her room, preceding her to his
own..
When she entered his room she found
him standing behind the door with a
revolver in his hand. He then told her
that he had enticed bet to the room for
his own purposes, and that If she did
not submit to his wishes he would kill
her. Mrs. Bonine says that she immediately
grasped the revolver, and in
the struggle which ensued it .was discharged
three different times, striking
him at each discharge, the last shot
proving fatal.
' Mrs. Bonine says that aftfr the
shooting she passed through the window
of Ayres's room on to and down
the fire escape ladder and, entering the
parlor window of the second floor,
+tirniif?h the narlor and back
jJti.aoc.v* ..
up the stairway of the hotel to her I
own room on the foruth floor. She |
then washed her hands, undressed and
retired.
Mrs. Bonine was entirely self-possessed
when she made her confession,
and did not exhibit any evidence of
either present or past unusual excitement.
She says that it was at her husband's
solicitation that she learned to
.practice with a revolver, and that he
had made the suggestion that she
should learn this art for self-defense
against possible assaults.
After she had concluded her statement
the woman was placed under arrest

HAZING.AT BOTTOM OF TROUBLE
The Officers of the Academy Upheld by
Secretary Koot ? Severe Measures
Taken to Stop Insubordination?Members
of the Second and Third Classes
Will Me Disciplined.
Washington, D. C.?The War Department
has determined to put down
the insubordination at West Point,
and also to put an end to hazing. Rigorous
action has been taken toward
the cadets who participated in the mutiny.
Five cadets have been dismissed
outright from the Academy, six suspended.
all for mutiny and breach of
discipline, and a great number of
others, comprising, it is believed, the
whole second class and part of the
third, are to receive such punishments
as Colonel Mills may choose to Inflict
short of suspension. Douglas
MacArthur, the son of the General, is
not to be either dismissed or suspended.
but will be among those whom
Colonel Mills will punish as minor offenders.
Colonel Mills had a long interview
with Secretary Root, who fully supports
the Superintendent in his action.
Colonel Mills left for West Point immediately
after his conference with
the Secretary of War.
An official statement of the situation

Department. It was said that the
;adets had been guilty of acts which
would not be serious in other colleges
or schools, but in view of the fact
that these young men were educated
by the Government, at a Government
Institution, to learn obedience, and to
learn how to command men and themselves,
it was necessary for them to be
under a somewhat more rigid discipline.
The trouble grew out of attempts
to suppress hazing. Although promises
of the suppression of hazing have
been made, "bracing" still has been
carried on against the orders of the
officials. Class officers have failed to
report cases of "bracing." There also
Is the case of Cadet Ralston, who was
reduced for not reporting misbehavior
at the mess table. These class officers
were reduced and some, minor
punishment Inflicted. The mutiny or
insubordination grew out of the re
sentment of the second class men,
who have been at the Academy three
years, at these punishments inflicted
by the Academy officials. It took the
form of such offenses toward the superintendent
as training the gun upon
his quarters and in other acts of
which the Academy officers eould not
but take notice. This resulted in the ;
trials and sentences to dismissal now
approved by the Secretary of ?War.
The worst feature of the mutiny in i
the eyes of many army officers is the I
talk to the cfEect that the cadets had j
threatened to bring political influence j
to bear to secure the removal of |
Colonel Mills.
There are two other court-martial
cases in the Academy pending in the
department where cadets have been
sentenced to dismissal. There is a
rule at the Academy that a cadet invited
out to dinner can Je excused and
leave the post. Two cadets invited
each other to dinner and made this .
their excuse for absence. Their ruse
was discovered.
