DANGEROUS COMPETITOR
JfEW YORK YACHTSMEN AFRAID OF
LTPTOX'S XEW SHAMROCK.
The Best Boat Great Britain Has Sent
Over to Race for the Cup
Good Spin Yesterday.
ICEWYORK. Aug. 27. Shamrock II -was
given a good spin today, bol'h inside and
outside the Hook. She was tried in wind
ward work and broad and close reaching.
In fact the challenger -was given ever,
thing except a spinnaker run in a breeze
that sometimes piped up to 12 knots, and
at no time was under eight knots. The
good opinion of her speed, merits and
abilllJy t carry lofty canvas was empha
sized. Many yachting experts who saw
her performance call her a wonderful
boat. AH say she is the most dangerous
-vessel that has ever come over the waters
hunting for the America's cup. She had
life in her every movement. She gathers
way with remarkable rapidity, Is quick
in stays, points high, stands up under
a tremendous spread of canvas, andis
,a decided improvement over the other
Shamrock.
The only new sail tried today was her
large club topsaiL It was a revelation to
those who saw it. It appears much larger
than the topsails on Columbia and Con
stitution. II? extends further out over
the gaff and runs up higher above the
topmast. It is said that the distance from
the boot of the mast to the ttop of the
topsail club is over 190 feet. The sail
sheets out very well, and there is less
looseness along the head than on either
ol the American boats.
Sir Thomas L.lptQn was on board during
Ihe entire trial, and seemed much pleased
with her showing.
"This is the 20th spin which the boat
has had," said he. "including her races
on the other side. She is improving all
she time, and I am more pleased with
her today than ever before. If she does
not carry back the -cup, the American
"boat thai' beats her may well inspire pride
3n your people."
A notable feature of the day was the
constant saluting w hlch the challenger re
ceived from oceaii steamers down to
smallest launches.

Story of a Fist Fight Betvreen Mc
Closkey axid Xlilclman.
The Tacoma baseball nine arrived late
last evening, ready for their series with
Portland, which opens this afternoon.
Manager McCloskey's Tigers are in fairly
good shape now for bumping the pennant
loaders. Zearfoss will be seeen behind
the bat again, although he is as yet un
able to run the bases. McCloskey Is look
ing for a new pitcher that will be able
to keep Jimmy St. Vrain company, but
he has heen unable to find a man that
can fill the bill. St Vrain has been
pitching a great game, and his team
mate. Carter, was in the game Saturday
to win against Seattle, 3-2. Tacoma will
go in the game to win this week. The
average of the Tigers has climbed up
until it rests safely over 500. The Ta
comas would not be averse to fattening
this mark a little at the Portlands ex
pense, and thus evening up a bit all the
ailnes of the league.
The nines will line up today as fol
lows: Tacoma. Position. Portland.

McCloskey and Tlilclmnn Clashed.
The story comes from Tacoma that
Manager McCloskey and Pitcher Jake
Thlelman, of his nine, came to blows last
Saturday evening. As a result Thlelman
had to be taken to a hospital, where lie
was found to be badly battered up, but
not seriously injured. Thlelman and Mc
Closkey liave been at swords points all
season and the ilj feeling between them
lias grown in bitterness until Saturday
night, when, as a result of disparaging
remarks made by Thlelman, McCloskey
started on a hunt for him and finally
found "him. He landed on Thlelman with
a swing that put the young man com
pletely out of the doings. Despite the
crowd gathered about, McCloskey kicked
him and might have done more serlou.
injury but for the Interference of St.
Vrain, McCarthy and others who were
standing around.
McCloskey's "bitterness against Thlel
man dates back several months to a time
"when Jake is said to have given away
the team signals to Spokane in order to
allow his brother Dobey to fatten a sick
ly batting average. In that particular
jame Spokane secured 16 hits off Car
ter, and the players on the Tacoma team
resented the manner in which it is said
to have been done. During the past week
in one of the Seattle games Thlelman
refused to pitch when asked to do so by
McCloskey. and when he finally did con
sent he put up an exhibition which in
sured his speedy removal from the box.
Consequently feeling between the pitcher
and manager has been exceedingly bit
ter, Thlelman declaring that McCloskey
would not give him a chance. Saturday
remarks were passed around which re
sulted in the attack made "by McCloskey.
Both Were Fined by Lncns.
President W. H. Lucas heard of the
affair in Portland and went to Tacoma
at once. He gave the matter a thorough
investigation and deeply deplores the oc
currence as an injury to the whole league.
McCloskey is a man of exemplary habits
and was apparently goaded Into a rage
Saturday night by Thielman's actions.
President Lucas has decided to impose
a heavy fine upon both men. Lucas feels
that Thlelman should have been released
months ago instead o'f being held on the
team until 111 feeling culminated in a
disgraceful street row. In addition to the
tfines imposed upon these two men. Pres
ident Lucas has also passed out a bunch
of heavy fines upon players who have
"been conducting themselves during the
past two weeks in a manner which he
does not approve of.
McCloskey and Thlelman, according to
reports, have made up again. According
ly Jakey will continue on the Tiger pay
roll and will hereafter take his regular
trick in tb" Tiltehers' box, where Mc
Closkey feels that Thlelman can yet show
some of the best of them up before the
season Is over.

BILLY SMITH IN PORTLAND.
Mysterious Boxer Has a Match on
With Tom Trncey.
"Mysterious" Billy Smith, ex-champlon
welter-weight of the world, who Is
matched to fight Tom Tracey on Septem
ber 5, arrived from Boston last evening.
Smith is well known in Portland, having
fought Tommy West, Charlie Gleason and
"Shadow" Maber here In 1S92, when he
was first winning his way to pugilistic
fame. With West he was given a draw,
Gleason he defeated in four rounds, and
Maber in 27. In those days Billy was un.
known to the Eastern follower of the ring
side, and it was In the West that he won
his reputation as well as his name, "Mys
terious." Smith tells about It in this way: "You
see, I was fighting and licking everybody
in the West then, and I gave Boston as
my home, although I came from up Maine
way. Well, pretty soon they commenced
to say In the East, 'Well, who is this here
fellow, Billy Smith?' No one knew me
In Boston, and so they gave me the name
"Mysterious,' and It's stuck to me ever
since."
Smith has met and fought all the good
ones in the ring In the neighborhood of
145 pounds. In 1893 he won the champion
ship of the world in his class by defeat
ing Tom Williams, of Australia, In two
rounds. He has met Tommy Ryan six
times, Joe Walcott seven times, Charlie
McKeever four times, Andie Welch five
times. He lost to Rube Ferns, the pres
ent champion, In 23 rounds on a decision,
which was given on a technicality, the
referee holding that Smith had violated
the agreement by hitting in a clinch. He
was hooted by the spectators, as Smith
had the better of the fight and had given
Ferns a terrific beating.
Smith and Tracey will weigh in at 145
pounds at 3 o'clock, the day of the match.
The agreement that they will meet under
and which will be signed today will pro
vide for the straight Marquis of Queens
bury rules, with hitting allowed with
one arm free in clinches, and to protect
each other in the break-away. Smith
weighs 15S, but says he will get down
to 145 without trouble.
When he defeated Kid Lavlgne In 14
rounds, two years ago, he weighed in at
3 o'clock at 14 and entered the ring
weighing 142. Eleven days afterward he
fought George Green at 154. Smith will
do road work in the mornings, and will
do his afternoon sparring and training at
the Mikado.

to the injury she sustained by striking an
under-water obstruction during the recent
New York Yacht Club cruise. It is
thought quite possible that much of the
yacht's unsatisfactory work may be at

her keel.

BERLIN, Aug.. 27. In view of the fact
that the expiatory mission , of Prince
Chung, brother of the Emperor of China,
was one of the conditions of peace, em
bodied in t'he demands of the powers, the
interruption of the journey of Prince
Chung, who Is now In Basle, Switzerland,
has created considerable comment. The
excuse of sickness Is nowhere entertained
seriously. Taken in conjunction with the
sudden detention in Shanghai of the ex
piatory mission to Japan, it is believed
to Indicate fresh complications with refer
ence to the signing of the protocol In
Pekin.
The German papers, which comment in
a guarded way, suggest that the delay of
Prince Chung Is due to an Intimation
from Emperor William as ft) certain mat
ters of ceremony and etiquette with which
Prince Chung is unable or unwilling to
comply without permission from the Chi
nest court. It is said that at least 10
days will elapse before Prince Chung's
expiatory mission arr.ves here. All the
elaborate preparations for the reception
of tlie Prince at Arangeri, Potsdam, have
been stopped. Several papers express a
hope that he will now be given simple
hotel accommodations, instead of the
palatial quarters thatH were being pre
pared. " -
BOXERS AGAIN DRILLING.
Preparing for More Trouble in Shan
Tans Province.
, VICTORIA, B. a, Aug. 27. Chinese pa.
pers received by the Empress of China
contain accounts of a massacre of Chi
nese In the Kwan Tien Hlen district of
Manchuria, the Russians excusing the
massacre by the statement that the peas
ants killed were mistaken for insurgents.
Few details are given.
Further troubles in Mongolia and Man
churia are reported, and, according to
t'he North China Dally News, the Rus
sians have placed 20,000 men on the Man-churla-Corean
frontier to cope with the
rebels.
The Shanghai Mercury publishes a let
ter, from Rev. Frank Harman, of Chou
Ping, who has been journeying through
North Shan Tung, 'to the effect that thb
Boxers are drilling and preparing for a
rising in that province. Christians have
been openly threatened. 'A Boxer pla
card has been found pojsted at Canton, de
nouncing foreigners ana calling upon the
Chinese to rise and refuse to pay the in
demnity to the foreigners.
The Chinese papers contain long ac
counts of the floods caused by the over
flowing of the Yangtse Kiang, and stories
are told of the drowning of hundreds of
villagers, of the break.ng of the em
bankment, the flooding of millions of
acres of rice fields, and of great destruc
tion generally by the floods.
The allies have returned to the Chinese
Government the warship Halyang, flag
ship of Admiral Yih, which was taken
during the bombaidment of Taku.
A bloody affray Is reported from a Chi
nese village 15 miles from Kiang Si, where
Profastant and Catholic converts quar
reled and came to blows, with the result
that SO Protestants were killed.
A heavy typhoon raged In the China
Seas shortly before the Empress of China
sailed, and serious damage was done to
many ships, a number of Chinese junks
being destroyed, and many villages on
the seashore being devastated. Among
t'he steamers which suffered were a num
ber of the larger, liner, and the Russian
steamer Finance Minister Wltte was sunk
by a large wave during the typhoon. The
Katsuyama' Maru returned to Woosung
almost a wreck.
No Chinese were brought on the Em

one soldier had been killed. Is that he Is
holding an Inquiry. This points to the
suspicion that the resistance offered by
the British force was inadequate. Mili
tary men explain the difficulty of keeping
jaded men. up to their work when they
know that to surrender to a superior
force is followed by a speedy release af t'er
their deprivation of arms and ammuni
tion. Heavy work and Incessant march
ing have rendered the British army stale.
The same feeling of weariness Is shown
In England, where the yeomanry force
recruited for special service, Is still 11,000
below the full quota, notwithstanding the
strenuous exertions to strengthen It and
the high pay offered for rough riders.
An article in the current number of the
Fortnightly Review on the settlement In
South Africa, derives special significance
from the fact that the writer, Ivan Mull
er, knows more about Lord Mllner's in
tentions than anybody else, except Mr.
Chamberlain. Lord Mllner, it has been
said, will land at Cape Town with the
constitution for South Africa In his pock
et, and the Fortnightly Review's article
indicates what is probably the outline of
the scheme. Mr. Muller makes It clear
that Mr. Chamberlain and Lord Mllner
have decided that' British Influence will be
paramount In the South African dominion
Parliament. He maintains that In any
plan of confederation. It Is of the highest
importance that the Senate should be the
center of political power and have con
trol of the Federal funds, and English
Senators should outnumber the Dutch by
two to one. For the constitution of the
Upper Chamber, he favors the American
rather than the Canadian and Australian
precedents, but in the first instance the
Senate would be nominated by the respec
tive Governors or the High Commissioners.

Hostile Feeling: in China.
LONDON, Aug. 27. Byron Brenan, the
British Consul-General at Shanghai, who
has just returned to England, said to a
representative of the Associated Press to
day: "From the standpoint of foreign inter
ests, the position in China Is far worse
today than before the international oc
cupation of Pekin. Formerly the Chinese
believed that foreign interests were Iden
tical. Thanks to recent events they are
now better able than ever to play off
one power against another, so patently
have the interests of the several powers
been shown to diverge. There Is a very
hostile feeling In many parts of Northern
China, and local disturbances may be ex
pected." Mr. Brenan declared that Russia and
Germany both have far more Influence
with the Chinese Government than Great
Britain. He believed that the United
States will be the greatest sufferer by the
closing of Manchuria to foreign trade.
Need of Vljjor and Persistence.
LONDON, Aug. 2S An editorial In the
Times today on the South African situa
tion reflects the cold fit which has fol
lowed the optimistic hopes of Lord Kitch
ener's proclamation. Commenting upon
the meager news from the front, the
Times says:
"It is quite clear that If we want an
end of the war we must strike hard and
often. Proclamations and blockhouses are
all very well, and may be useful, but
the experience of the Spaniards has
shown that the most sonorous proclama
tion Is without little good without plenty
of men and horses. Everything depends
upon vigor and persistence In pushing
the Boers in the field. Are we providing
these for the warm season which soon begins?"
Boer Attack Repulsed.
LONDON, Aug. 27. Lord Kitchener, In

"A convoy on its way from Kimberley

Venezuelan-Colombian Play.
PARIS, Aug. 27. The Matin says:
"The curta n will shortly ring on the
Venezuelan-Colombian play. It promises
to be interesting. The greater part of the
plot has, in fact, been provided by the
United States. It Is to be hoped that
everything will pass off satisfactorily;
that Barnum will keep his promise and
not claim any author's fees after tht
show; and that at the final scene there
will not be a general fight among the
spectators."

BOERS NOT FRIGHTENED.
Kitchener's Proclamation Had Little
Effect.
NEW YORK, Aug. 27. The barometer
of South Africa fell when it was known
that Steyn, Dewet and Botfha had defied
Mr. Chamberlain, and had announced
their determination to fight in the last
ditch, says the London correspondent of
the Tribune. The proclamation, of Lord
Kitchener has not frightened the Boer
leaders, for whom a menace of exile has
no terrors when they do not believe it can
bo enforced.
Military men here have not swerved
from the conviction that the war will
continue until Steyn and Dewet are cap
tured. The Transvaal leaders are bound

MORMONS IX JAPAN.
Better Treated by the Natives Than
by the Foreign Missionaries.
YOKOHAMA, Aug. 16, via Victoria. B.
C, Aug. 27. The advent of Mormon mis
sionaries In Japan is exciting much com
ment. Four of them, headed by Apostle
Heber J. Grant, arrived by the Empress
last Monday, and have already com
menced an active campaign. Peremptor
ily ejected from a missionary boarding
house as soon as their faith was known,
they have thus early had a sample of the
lack of catholicity which characterizes
Christian workers In the Orient and of the
sectarian feeling which vitiates their
work. The Incident will, however, re
dound greatly in their favor among the
Japanese, whose hospitable and tolerant
Instincts form perhaps the most conspic
uous feature of their character. They
constantly quote with approval the story
of an ancient Emperor, who, on hearing
of the arrival of the emissaries of a
foreign religion, asked how many relig
ions there were already In the empire.
On being told that there were 40 or so, he
said in that case the addition of another
was a matter of no consequence. It may
safely be foretold that, while the Mormon
doctrines will make, like the others which
have been brought here, little or no im
pression upon the mind of Japan, their
well-known integrity and business energy
will commend them to a large number of
the Japanese people. They stand as good
a chance as any of the sects.
Last Friday night (August 9) Yokohama
was visited by two earthquakes of an un
usual character, each being of abnormal
length and accompanied by a peculiar
motion. No damage was done here, but
telegraphic advices from the north, espe
cially from Aomorl, the terminus of the
main line of railway, show that a seri
ous convulsion there took place. In some
localities the railway line was completely
thrown out of joint, the depressions vary
ing from eight Inches to eight feet, com
munication being Interrupted for several
days. Many houses were totally de
stroyed, and hundreds of them seriously
damaged. Strangely enough, tio lives
were lost, and very few Injuries to limb
resulted. There can'be no doubt that the
center of disturbance was In the bed oof
the ocean, as has so often been the case
with earthquakes In the north of the em
pire. The seismologlcal bureau reports
that from the afternoon of the 9th to the
morning of the 10th there were 16 shocks
at Acmorl, and seven In Toklo. Coinci
dent with these, the volcano of Asama
has shown signs of great activity. The
southeastern part of the island of Yezo
also was much disturbed.
The hot wave which visited the empire
for 10 days previous to the 6th Inst, was
broken by five days of remarkable cold,
a thing almost unknown In the experi
ence of Summers In Japan. The weather
on the whole Is deemed Very favorable
for the rice crop, and a large harvest Is
expected.
Epidemic Prevalent In the South
eastern Provinces.
CHICAGO, Aug. 27. The last Issue of the
weekly publication of the Marine Hospital
service contains a number of reports con
cerning the prevalence of plague In the
vicinity of Canton, China, most of which
are made by missionaries and American
physicians called to hospitals In Canton
and neighboring cities. The reports agree
that the disease Is epidemic In only a feir
places In Canton, but that It is wldeepreal
throughout the province of Kwang Lung.
One missionary says It Is much more gen
eral than In years past and that instead
of being confined to a few large centers
it Is heard of In villages as well as In
market towns and cities.
Another reports that the plague travels
along the great trade routes, and he says
that at present "we find the plague from
Hong Kong all the way along the West
River for 400 miles, and the larger the
center the more the plague exists."
The reports generally agree that the dis
ease Instead of being transmitted from
person to person, apparently is transmit
ted from place to persons. OneVof the re
ports made by an American physician
recommends that more attention be given
to Chinese methods of treatment, saying
that In one case a Chinese physician saved
60 per cent of his cases, while other physi
cians lost 94 per cent. The report agrees
that the natives are exceedingly careless
In disposing of the clothes and bodies or
