New York, Aug. 25. -In a glori
ous wholesale breeze over a triang
ulr courte, ten railea to a leg. the
fleet-footed cup defender Reliance,
again ehowed her 1 heels to Sir
Thomas Liptou'c challenger, taking
the oeconci race of the cup series ot
1903 by thj nanon . margin of one
minute and 19 Ptcouds. , It was as
pretty and hard-fuoght contest-'as
has ever been eailed off Sindy
Hook, and had the wind not fallen
during the last ten minutes, the re
cord for the course, tbree hours 12
minutes and 15 seconds, made by
the Columbia two years ago, in her
memorable rsce against the Sham
rock II, would have been beaten. As
it wasj the Reliance sailed the 80
miles within two - minutes and 39
seconds of the record, which t peeks
wonderfully of her speed in the
wind that was blowing. ; . ; f
The Reliance's : victory d at row
as it wae, would have betn small
er bad rot Captain Wringe, the
hkipper of the British snip, bung
lad at the ttart, sending nis craft
over the line 19 beconds after the
lisi gun, arid handicapping her to
that extent. . . .
At every point of sailing, the de
fender's superiority was demonstrated-
She gained one minute 55
seconds in witsdward work, 40 eec
mds on tbe run to the second mark
and 45 seconds on the close - reach
far home. Based on .JJieja:
cent showing she has made in the
two races already sailed, it is v the
belief of many experts that the cup
is safe, acd it will take something
better than Fife's latest creation to
budee
An af semhlage.iJexcursion- yes
pela al rnott hs large' as that of last
Saturday poured down through the
narrows and out into the broad At
lantic today to witness the . yanisb
,)ng glory of the challenger. The
early morning had held out little
hope of a race. A smiky haze hung
over the sea, and the wind was very
light from the south. But as the
day Vore on, the curtain lifted
slightly, the wind blew strong and
clean out of the eouth and the danc
ing swell sparkled under the radi
ance of an August sun. f-
- The excursion fleet, like a float
ing city built on tbe flcor of -the
ocean, lined up rail Jto rail : in . a
great emi-circle to witness the
ttart. The course was a beat due
south into the wind lor , ten miles,
then a broad reach or ru a, as the
case might be. off toward the ; Cho
tera banks at d thence home" again
to tbe old red hulled lightship.
; The spectators watched the jock
eying for the start wita eager inter
est. It was hair raising to see what
closa company the giant bingla
sdcker.4, kept. It seemed momen
tarily as if the spars and hulls
would clashbut they wheeled and
circled like gull", tacking, gybing
and putting about, across the line,
close-hauled for the thresh to wind
ward. It was seen that the Amer
ican skipper,' by his extreemly clev-1
er work, bad again outgeneraled his
rival and securad 1he weather
gauge. : , '
Not only ' was the challenger's
captain deieated in his effort to se
cure the wind ward berth, but he ac
tually failed to cross in time to save
a handicap,' -an almost unpardona
ble offense hra cup conteet. : Barr
never relinquished his advantage
after the start, holding, the challen
ger under his lee all the way to the
first mark. A'-- , j.'-
As tbe clean-limbed
rac
ers , got
farther out, the weight of the-wind
steadily iecreased and 5 the t waves
began to v spill froth from their
green crests. Both boats, with ev
ery stitch of. canvas set, smashed
into the Eeas, healing down in the
puffs under the press of thousands
of yards of light canvas until their
lee rails were awasn in tne teaming
brine. Their crews, piled up to
weather, V were repeatedly deluged
with the showers of the spray sent
aloft by their shark-like bows.' -
Slowly, but surely, the thousands
aboard the observation ' fleet saw
that the Reliance was gaining, op
ening a wider stretch of water be
tween her and the challenger. The
excursion fleet does not go to this
mart, in obedience to the regula
tions laid down to govern its.move
rnenis. ' As soon as v the Reliance
rounded, the; patrol flotilla blew
their whistles and clanging bells in
tbe engine rooms sent the whole
fleet at full speed to leeward of the
last leg of the course.
There, the vast concourse ' of
steam craft lay,, wallowing ;in : tbe
trough of tbe saa until ' tbe yechts,
bowling along at a terrific pace,
turned the Second mark. 'The Re
liance sailed this leg of ten miles in
5$ minutes 20 seconds. Tnen the
fleet started for the finish line,
steaming a course parallel with that
of the flying yachts.;- This last leg
was covered at roaring speed,; tbe
Reliance still increasing her lead
with her wake streaming alee, a
path of dancing white on the; deep
blue bosom of tbe sea. Just before
tbe finish the wind died down but
the reliance went across in ample
time to win, having covered the ten
miles in 57 micutes 40 seconds.
. There followed the usual riot" pf
whistles, mingled with the waiKof
stfens the clang or bells and tne
exultant shouts of patriots and the
booming of cannon. The Sham
rock was abeut a mile astern, and
croased 4 minutes and 40 seconds
laier, to a repetition of the noise,
which bad welcomed the Reliance's
Victory. '
"Though the Reliance had the
lead of three minutes and fifteen
seconds, she still Jacked six seconds
of making up the time allowance
and the difference of one' minnte
add twenty-four scemds at .the
ttart. Officially, the Shamrock HI
was still six seconds ahead of the
slippery Yankee craft, but it was
evident that the latter bad won the
race, barring accident. ' ., ; v---
In a breeze varying from ten to 12
knots an. hour, she had made good
the time- allowance in a' ten-mile
reacfi tlHrpsto windward, and there was kee are both tied up and not run

the second turn. The wind was to
far aft that they quickly decided
that, instead of beiog a broad reach
as intended,' the course to the turn
was a tun. . Spinnaker booms were
guyed out, and the great sails add
ed to the tall reaches of . canvas.
Staysails were taken in and, with
spinnaker booms guyed well for
ward the yachts ran away for turn.
U Both were -heading off their
course a bit in order to make their
spinnakers draw well, and they ran
that way for half an hour, when the
Reliance smothered her spinnaker
and began to set her staysail. Dur
ing that time she did no: appear to
haye gaioed an inch, but immedi
ately on laying her true course, she
began to draw away. ' . Ten minutes
after the Reliar ce, the Shamrock
III also took in her spinnaker, " set
her staysail, and headed for the
mark., .With the wind over their
quarter,' both yachts made fast time
of it, but it was apparent that the
Reliance was gaining. "
' The' Reliance was , leading by
three minutes and 55 seconds; hav
ing gained 40 seconds in the run
ecrof s ' from ' the first - to .1. the
second mark: She had overcome
tbe time allowance, made- gopd the
difference at the start, and estab
lished a margin to her credit of j4
seconds. ": " 'A''-;:.-:;'f..il.A::-''
The reliance whirled about the
mark, gybed over, trimmed in her
sheets, and romped away 00 a close
reach toward Sandy Hook lightship
and the finish: line. , She was three
quarters of a mile away before, the
Shamrock III rounded the mark.
Both yachts were healing before a
12-knot wind from south , by west
and were sailing at least one mile
an hour faster than the wind was
blowing';; :Vi' ;c-';.--": :'-' :--(:'--When

leader.: t It looked as though the
British boat was going to get with
in her time limit, but the finish line
was , too close, and the Reliance
slipped acrosB it with one , minute
and 19 seconds to spare. The Sham

wind and both boats were taken in

Council Bluffs, Io., Aug. 26.
Two cloudbursts, one at 5:30 this
afternoon and the other at 9:30 to-
nieht. have destroyed hundreds of
thousands of dollars' worth of prop
erty in this city. The storm . at 5:
3O turned the streets of the city in
to torrents, and hundreds of famil
ies in the lower districts were re
moved from their homes with diffi
culty- Many business houses were
flooded by the first storm, and the
damage to stocks , will amount to
thousands. ; :;:;;'
The storm at 9:30 raised the war
ter higher, than the one earlier in
the evening and many stocks that
were not touched by the first flood
have been. badly damaged, so. that
the loss in this city alone is now es
timated at half a million dollars.
The rainfall here for tbe. 24 hours
ending at midnight will amount to

Naples, Aug. 26. The people of
Naplesaod the environs witnessed a
remarkable spectacle atnoon today.
One thousand feet below the centra
cone of Vesuvius, the volcano open
ed like a huge mouth, out of which
belched a fiery 6tream of lava,
which ran down the side of the
fnoun tain, and at first seemed to
menace tbe observatory. ''This
building, however, is ' protected in
the direction of the stream by a
monnd of lava 20 feet high, which
was thrown but "during the erup
tions of 1895 and 1900.
The eruption occurred without
anv warning whatever of the earth
quake, detonation or rain of ashes.
There was nothing but a clear
stream of lava and red - hot stones,
which were thrown, to a height of
700 feet, producing an extremely
beautiful effect seen, from Naples.
- The stream of lava which is 15
feet broad, at 11 o'clock bad covered
a distance of 27oo feet. It deviat- j
ed later from the direction of the
observatory, which - is ,00 longer
menaced. The only danger is for
the new electric tramway near the
yolcano, wbich, however, has not
thus far been touched, - The erup
tion already seems to be decreasing
and it is hoped that no damage will
result from it. ' .r :",-: 1
'' The specta'tors far enough away
hot to be frightened stood exi tranced
at the spectacle, but those nearer to
the volcano were seized by panic
when the eruption began and rnsh-
ed ; down from the sides ; of the
mountain and from the adjacent
country, to the villages of Portici
and Resiha, which are built over
the ruins of Herculaneum The
alarm in these villages was . some
what quieted by the mayor affixing
notices declaring that there was no
danger. n
; The chief-of police of Naples has
gone personally to make a tour of
the villages under tVesuvious, in
order to reassure the peasants and
superintend any measures of pro
tection which may , be deemed ne
cessary, r The ) superstitious "lower
classes are. agitating for the expul

eminent authority and president
of the London Chamber of Com
merce, who is here looking over tha
business . and . shipping interests,
hasexpressed the belief that the
United States with her tremendous
resources, is undoubtedly destined
to be a naval power. He predicts
owing . to present conditions, at
least a partial disarmament on tha
Continent, . in France, Gsrmaoy
and Russia. "It is only a question
of time," belaid "wheu the fleets
of the Uoited S tates will be raised
to the first rank. Potentially the
United States is comparatively the
greatest naval power in the world.
She has tbe greatest resourc B, and
it is only a question of policy with,
her."
