A SPLENDID RACE
Reliance Beat Shamrock Badly in the
Saturday Event
? ?
VICTORY WAS OVERWHELMING.
? ?
Conditions Were Favorable For Fine
Racing and the American Yacht
Showed High Qualities.
Now York. Special?The international
yacht races hove occupied a sreat
deal of public attention. The first day's
Nvork, on Thursday was a complete
failure, owinK to the dense fog and a
lack of breeze. However the American
craft showed its ability to distance the
cnaii?ni;rr.
The conditions on Saturday were
highly favorable for tine work and the
racing is thus given by the Associate
Press correspondent:
In a splendid 12 to IS knot breeze,
over a windward and leeward course of
50 miles, the gallant sloop Reliance
Saturday heat Shamrock 111 in commanding
style, in exacting nine minutes,
actual time, or seven minutes and
three seconds after deducting the one
minute and fifty-seven seconds which
the defender concedes to Sir Thomas
Upton's third challenger, on account
of the sailing plan of the measurements.
* ?* imuvai nimijm, nvuu iiuu nirvauv
muilo up their mintis on Thursday that
the Reliance could take the measure of
the challenger in any kind of weather.
r< gard the day's test as conclusive, although
they hardly anticipated so
overwhelming a victory. The rare even
dampened the ardor of Sir Thomas,
who insisted, after Thursday's fluke,
that his confidence in the beautiful
craft designed by Fife was greater than
ever. Still, like a true sportsman, lie
does not acknowledge defeat, and
hopes for better luck next time. The
signal criticism ho and his friends
make of Saturday's race is that the
only shift of the wind which occurred
was to the advantage of the defending
yacht. As this shift of the wind occurred
on the jvindward bef^.evcu granting
that lt"!iccountecT fr>rv Reliance's
lend at the turn, the time the Defender
made on the run home was more than
ample to have given her the race. It
must be conceded, however, that the
Shamrock showed herself a wonderful
boat in beating to windward, perhaps
the ablest craft in this respect that
was ever sent across the Western
ocean on a t up-hunting expedition. For
12 miles the single-stickers raced like
a team of horses, and during that por

attempt to conceal tlieir nervousness.
The racing; conditions were ideal. A
thiA haze hung; over the Jersey shore,
obstruc ting: the view of the spectators
gathered there, but out on the ocean
race-course the sea was flooded witli
sunshine from a vault of fleekless blue.
A long ocean swell heaved up from the
south, and a 12-knot breeze, fresh and
strengthening, blew out of the southwest.
throwing up fleeting white caps
on the sparkling bosom of the ocean.
The marine picture was superb.
As the direction of the wind would
have carried a windward course from
Sandy Hook lightship into the Jersey
shore, the committee was obliged to
set the mark seven miles further out.
This delayed the start alncut threequarters
of an hour, and prevented the
mussing of the excursion fleet, as usual.
in the form of a great marine amphitheatre
hack of the starting line. Instead
of being kept back by the revenue
cutters, they formed a column of
hulls and stacks, extending three miles
toward the Jersey shore, the yachts
around the line completing the shape
of a fish hook. The course, southwest,
carried the yachts directly into the eye
of the wind, to a point off Asbury
Park.
From start to finish the defender
had the best of the situation and the
(.lose was marked by much enthusiasm
on the part of the immense throng of
spectators.

THE PRESIDENT'S OPINK u
Strike in Government Bindery Discussed
By nr. Roosevelt.
Oyster Bay. Special.?President
Roosevelt has made applicable to all
departments of the government service
the principle h?> enunciated at the
time he re-instated Wm. Miller to
lite position in ?he Government Printing
Office from which Miller had been
dismissed because of a disagreement
v.'ith the bookbinder's union. The
Piesldent lias plainly stated to the
members of bis cabinet that the prin
tu u's is 10 "indicate trio policy of the
President" in similar eases.
Thursday night the President authorized
the publication of a letter,
v hich was sent to each member of bis
cabinet on the "2nd of July. The letter
was signed by Mr. Harms, acting
secretary to the President, and is as
follows:
"My Pear Sir: The ITesldent directs
mo to send >011 herewith, for
>cur information, conies of two letters
sent to Secretary Cortelyon with reference
to the Government Printing Office
which define the attitude of the administration
in connection with the subject
discussed. They are sent you for
your information and guidance, ns
they indl -ate the policy of the President
in this matter."
The letters to Secretary Cortelyon
were written on July 13 and 14. The
salient sentence of the first letter was:
"There is no objection to the employes
o: the Government Printing Ollice constituting
themselves into a union, if
they so desire, but no rules or resolutions
of that union can tie r>f-rmit??>il to
override the laws of the Cnitcd States,
which it is my sworn duty to enforce."
In the letter of the 14th. the Prosiquoteri
the finding of the Anthracite
Strike Commission regarding the employment
of labor as follows: "It Is
adjudged and awarded that n person
shall he refused employment o'- in any
way discriminated against on account
of membership or non-iuenihership in
any labor organization, and that there
shall he no discrimination against or
interference with any employe who is
not a member of any labor organization."
Convening this principle the President
wrote: "It is of course mere* elementary
decency to require that all
the government departments shall he
handled in accordance with the principle
thus clearly and fearlessly enuuriated."
The South Leads.
Washington. Special-- The Census
Pureau ha? published as a bulletin a
discussion of the increase of population
in the United States as shown by the
census of 1000. The principal results of
the study of these figures are summarized
as follows:
"The increase in the population of
continental United States, that is. the
United States exclusive of Alaska and

or 20.7 per ccnL Only one rountry.
Argentina. has shown by the most
recent figures a more rapid growth.
"The present rate of growth in cantinrntal
United States Is estimated as
double the average rate of Europe.
In the decade 1800 to 1000 the first
time in our national history, the
Southern States increased faster than
the Northern. East of the Mississippi,
however, the Northern States as a
group have grown i:i the late ten years
somewhat more rapidly than the
Southern, but west of that river to the
Ssutlicrn States have increased almost
two and one-half timqs as rapidly as
the Northern, an 1 it is this fact which
makes the growth of the South as a
whole exceed that of the North.
The region west of the Mississippi
-iver Is still increasing faster than
that east af it. The rales of Increase
in the North and South during the last
2? years were practically the same. But
in the character of this growth the two
regions differ widely, there being a relatively
uniform growth over the whole
South, equalized by a balance in the
North between a lower rate of rural
growth and a higher rate of urban
growth. The most noteworthy result
of the entire discussion, it is stated, is
the cumulative evidence of the sip- j
pmnni ui t'liiiuiii}' in in*-* rmus u*. increase
of various parts of the 1'nlte 1
States. This appears whether North lie
compared with South, East with West,
or city with country.

WORKING BOYS IN MINES.
Developments of the Alabama Coal

work \\ itli them, each boy being allowed
a half turn on ears, although
his eoal output goes under his father's
i-hcek. Controversy over the responsibility
tor this elass of labor led to an
agreement between the miners and the
principal operators involved in the arbitration.
that the commission, in its
finding, shall rule that no boys under 1
1 1 years of age be allowed to ent< r tbe
mines in this district. Under the State
law of Alabama it has hern possible to
utilize the labor of boys of 1- years I
and over, in the mines. The miners, in
i all their contracts, have insisted on
this rule being incorporated, although |
| some of the companies, notably the i
Tennessee Coal. Iron and Railroad
Company, liave protested.
Air. Pen y, attorney for the Tennessee
Company, commenting upon the
| testimony, stated that the miners were
[ in the habit of working their boys in
the mines. Mr. Fairley. for the minors,
replied that the miners did not wish
! young hoys in the mines, hut that th?j
companies had encouraged it. Mr. Percy
said that the Tennessee Company
had endeavored t<> prevent boys under
14 years of age from working in tbe
mines, hut that the union fell hack on
the State law and insisted on the 111'
year-old clause being a part of each
i new agreement. Mr. Flynn, president
of the Miners' Union for this district, i
i declared to the commission that the |
union would gladly agree that th?> com- 1
mission. m its turnings. should mike ,
a rule that no boys under 11 years of ,
ag>> lie allowed to work in the mines. |
The representatives of all the largo
c ompanies who were present ImmcdiI
ntely declared themselves in favor of
i the 14-year-old clause, and Judge (tray
I said that the commission, on tin-so assurances.
would make such a llnding.

I miner working 20 days per month j
eould earn $100 a mouth.
Negroes Kidnap n White Girl.
ron Smith. Ark.. Special.?The kid- ,
'tapping of a young white girl and the
killing of one of a posse that tried to |
rescue her are the crimes charged j
against a party of eight negroes, fortified
on H: uce's Island, lti miles west
of tin- i it v. It is feared that their |
capture will lead to a bloody encounter.
Tin* negroes are said to he weil !
i armed. A few days ago two farmer.?. ;
living near Wilson's Hock, landed n
Bruce's Island in search of plums, and
accidently ran into a camp, in which
there were two negro men and a white
girl about 12 rears of age. They made
some inquiries about the gild, and the >
in groes said she was the daughter of a |
white man who was traveling with '
i
them, and who had gone to Fort Smith ;
for provisions. The negroes would not j
let the girl talk, and this aroused sus- j
iicion. A watch was kept on the ne- !
groes for two days, but no white man
appeared. Monday afternoon a party j
of farmers derided to investigate the '
case. and. as they neared ttir island,
they were tired on by the negroes, and
one of the party, a man named Roland,
war killed. A sharp fight was kept up
I for some time, during which the girl
* scaped from the negroes and ran to
the white men. She was so excited
she could not give an intelligent ac- j
renin of herself. She said, however, j
tint her fath'-r was not traveling with j i
the negroes, but that she had been
