DEFENDER THE BEST DRIFTER Experts Confident Thnt, Blow High or Blow Low, the Cup Is Safe Xcxt Brush Will Occur Saturday. LIFTOX GAME AS EVER. SANDY HOOK. N. J.. Aus. 20. Sir Thomas Lip ton was the first of the owners to return from the Hook, re turning on the Erin with his guests. He was busy bidding them adieu, but he stopped to say: "No, I am not In the least disap pointed with my boat or Its efforts to day. The wind was so variable that neither boat had a good chance, and particularly mine, .with her smaller sail area. Wait unUl we set a good breeze." The yachts did not arrive at the Hook until after 0 o'cloep. The Cap tains refused to talk for publication, and all that Mr. Iselln would say was: '"Ve were perfectly satisfied." NEW YORK, Aug. 20. One of the larg est crowds of sightseers and yachtsmen that ever sailed down to Sandy Hook to witness an attempt of a foreign cuphunter to wrest from America the yachting su premacy of the world returned to New York tonight disappointed because the sea had refused a field of combat to the rac ers. Nevertheless, the crowd was Jubilant in the conviction that Sir Thomas Lip ton's latest challenger, like the two Sham rocks which had preceded her, was doomed to' Tcturrrtc England empty handed. Beaten In Her Own "Weather. Of course, the race today was not abso lutely conclusive, owing to the light and shifting character of tho air, but In a 15 mlle beat to windward, a portion of which was sailed in a driving rain, the cup de fender Reliance showed her heels to the Shamrock III In commanding style, and that, too. In weather conditions which were supposed to be to the particular lik ing of the challenger. Fife's latest creation has been heralded as a wonder In light breezes in wind ward work, and especially with a jumpy sea on, while tho Reliance, on her trials, had done her best reaching and running In a whole-sail wind. Yet today, -with a breeze varying from one To 13 knota, and against a long ground swell, the defender outfooted and outpointed the Shamrock IIL Defeated by Sixteen Minutes. The Shamrock did not turn the outer mark, and there Is therefore no way of knowing absolutely how badly she was beaten, but It was estimated that she was more than a mile astern, or about IS min utes. In the existing strength of the wind, when the Reliance rounded. As a result of the trial the experts be lieve, blow high or blow low, the Reliance will win this, the ISth, series for the America's cup The day was a miserable one. A mist lay over the cltyand bay in the morn ing, and when the great fleet of excursion steamers, steam yachts, tugs and soiling vessels reached the starting line, where the racers were already jockeying for a position, threatening clouds were gather ing over the Jersey highlands. The breeze was not over six knots. Bnrr Outgeneral Wrlnge. The course was set IS miles southeast, straight down the Jersey coast, and re turn. At the start Captain Barr outgen eraled Captain Wrlnge. sending the Reli ance over the line 33 seconds behind the challenger, but in the windward berth. In the first 20 minutes of sailing- the de fender showed her windward qualities, drawing up on even terms with the chal lenger, beside being about 200 yards to windward. Then the storm broke, and for 30 minutes the rain came down in tor rents, the wind meanwhile Increasing to 12 knots. When the storm had passed the defender was seen to be firmly established on the weather bow of the Shamrock, and she was never afterward headed. Reliance Steadily Gain. During the last two hours of the race the Reliance steadily Increased her lead, rounding the turn a mile ahead of the Shamrock. Heading b&ck for home close hauled, she had just reached the Sham rock, still outward bound, when. It being apparent that the race could not be fin ished in the time allowance, the regatta committee boat at 3:35 fired the signal which declared the race off. The work of the patrol fleet was per fect. Moving at right angles, line ahead and line abreast, the revenue cutters kept the yachts in the hollow of a moving angle, as free from interference as If they had been sailing In mtdocean. Under the rules the first race, 13 miles to leeward or windward and return. Is now postponed until Saturday. LETS SHAMROCK START FIRST. Captain Barr Han nn Eye to the Much-Coveted Windward Bent. NEW YORK. Aug. 2a The Reliance reached the starting line at 10 A. M. and dropped her towline. The Shamrock III w arrived ten minutes later. No sooner had the Shamrock HI filled away, than the Reliance bore down upon her from a windward position and hauled on the wind alongside of heij, in a position to blanket the challenger; Captain Wriage promptly wore ship and bore away from the Reliance, refusing- to take part In the brush. The New York Yacht Club regatta com mittee tug established a line between the Sandy Hook lightship and herself at 10:30 A. M. and signaled that the race would be 15 miles to windward and return, the first leg south-southwest. The wind was then blowing about five knots. There was a moderate sea running In long ground swells, and the boats were pitch ing rather heavily. The conditions were unfavorable to the Reliance, judging from her early trials. The Shamrock. HI was expected to have "the advantage in the light wind and rough water condi tions prevailing. Shamrock Across Line First. The preparatory signal was fired at 10:45, and ten seconds later came the warning signal. "When the start was made, a few seconds "after the warning signal, the Shamrock Med the American boat across the line "by about 50 yards, but the Reliance held the windward posi tion. Official starting time: Shamrock HI, H:01:li. Reliance, U:01:7. Both boats sailed seaward for oz hour and 20 minutes. The wind dropped to about four knots soon after the start. Within 25 minutes after the starting the Reliance had overhauled the Shamrock, and was abeam of her and 200 yards to windward. Tho Reliance had not only footed faster, but pointed higher than the challenger, and was showing that under conditions supposed to be unfavorable to her she was the better boat. Rain Brings Shift of "Wind. Half an hour after the start, when the boats were about four miles from the starting line, rain swept across the course and obscured the yachts from all observ ers, except those very close. The shower brought a shift of wind to the westward, which enabled the racers to lay a course direct to the mark. This robbed the Re liance of most of the advantage of her windward position, and put the boats on almost even terms. They held that rel ative position until they had sailed eight miles, when the wind whipped back to south by west, again making it a dead beat to the mark and restoring to the Re liance her former advantage in being to windward. Gives Defender n Scare. When they made their first tack at 12:20. the Shamrock IU was to leeward and astern a few hundred yards. The shower had passed. Then, for the first time, the British challenger gave the admirers of the defender a bad scare. "Without ap parent reason, she began to foot faster than the Reliance, passed to leeward of her and drew away ahead, but still to leeward. It looked for a moment as though she was going to show her heels te tho Rolianot. but when ;fhe carte abouH nnd the two boats met, the admirers of the Reliance discovered that, while the challenger had been outfootlng her, the Reliance had been outpointing the chal lenger, and had even Increased her lead. The boats were nine miles from the start ing line, and the Reliance had a lead of a quarter of a mile. In a dropping wind the British boat twice slipped past the Reliance to leeward, but she was losing ground In the wind ward thresh because the Reliance sailed closer to the wind. Reliance n Mile Ahead. "When four miles from the turning mark, at 1:25 P. if., they started on a (.Concluded on Second Page.) CONTEXTS OF TODAY'S PAPElt National.

MAKES NO WAR ON THEM Neither Will He Allow Any Discrimination. WRITES MEMBERS OF CABINET Executive Rccnlls Case of Book binder Reinstated in Government Office, and Says Same Rule W1U ' Apply to All Other Branches. OYSTER BAY, Aug. 20. PresidentRoo3&- velt has made applicable to departments of the Government service the principle the enunciated at the time ho reinstated Will lam A. Miller to the position in tho Gov ernment Printing Office from whlchMlller had been dismissed because of a disagree ment with tho Bookbinders Union. The President has plainly stated to the mem bers of his Cabinet that that principle is "to Indicate the policy of the President" in similar cases. Tonight the President authorized the publication of a statement which was sent to each member of his Cabinet on July 22. The letter was signed by Mr. Barnes, acting secretary to the President, and Is as follows: "My Dear Sir Tho President directs me to send to you herewith, for your Informa tion, copies of two letters sent to Secre tary Corteyou with reference to the Gov ernment printing office, which, define the attitude of the Administration in connec tion with the subject discussed. They are sent for your Information and guidance, as they indicate the policy of the Presi dent in this matter." Tho letters to Secretary Cortelyou were written on July 13 and 11. The salient sentence of the first letter was: "There Is no objection to the employes of the Government printing office consti tuting themselves Into a union, if they so desire, but no rules or resolutions of that union can be permitted to "override the laws of the United States, which It Is my sworn duty to enforce." In the letter of the Uth the President quoted tho finding of the Anthracite Strike Commission regarding- the employment of labor, as follows: "It Is adjudged and awarded that no person shall be refused employment or In any way discriminated against on ac count of membership or nonraembershlp in any labor prganizatlon, and that there shall be no discrimination or interference with any employe who is riot a member of any. labor organization by members of such organization." Concerning this principle the President wrote: "It Is of course mere elementary uecency to require that all Government departments shall be handled In accord ance with the principle thus clearly and fearlessly enunciated."

WANT NEW II Oregon Land Officials to Be Let Out. DELEGATION ASKED TO ACT Hitcticock Against Brattain and Bailey at Lakeview. LAND CLERK'S CASE RECALLED Register nnd Receiver Held to Have Countenanced Irregularities of Clerk Knowles May Yet Win at La Grande. The Interior Department desires to put new men in the offices of Register and Receiver at the Lakeview Land Office. E. M. Brattain and Harry Balley are the present Incumbents. The department holds nothing against the character of Brattain or Bailey, but does not like their administration of tho offices. The Oregon delegation to Congress has debated the award of these places for some time. Its favorites are understood to be C. U. Snider, of Lakeview, and J. X. Watson, of Pals ley, who are in better political accord with the delegation than the men In the offices. Hermann, however, wants Brattain reappointed. The contest over the office of Regis ter at La Grande is unsettled. The delegation refuses to desert Knowles and seems to be holding its own against Secretary Hitchcock. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash ington; Aug. 20. There are strong indi cations that the Oregon delegation will be requested In a short time, if it has not already been so requested, to recom mend new men for appointment as Regis ter and Receiver of the Lakeview land of fice, In place of Elden M. Brattain and Harry Bailey, whose respective terms ex pired December 14 and February 8, 1902. Judging by what scant Information that will be given out by the Interior Depart ment, thee officials had more or less knowledge of the Improper actions of the clerk, Max Whittlesey, who was lately re moved on account of charges preferred by Inspector LInnon. It Is alleged that they did not try to put a stop to these practices, but rather countenanced the clerk in whatever he did. In any event, the report of Inspector Llnnen has con vinced the officials of the Interior Depart ment that new blood should be infused In tho Lakeview office, and the earlier the change is made the better the depart ment will be pleased. The Fault Found. So far as can be learned the personal character of neither Brattain nor Bailey has In any way been attacked; it Is their method of conducting the office that is unsatisfactory. It Is deemed Inexpedient to remove Registers and Receivers of lo cal land offices until their successors aro named, for the law does not authorize the resignation of others to act in these ca pacities. To remove a Register or Re ceiver, or both, would close the office; hence no such steps will be taken at Lakeview until new appointments are ready to be made. Xo Change In La Grnndc Cnse. There has been no recent change In the status of affairs at the La Grando land office, the matter stilL remaining In the hands of the President at Oyster Bay. The department is very anxious that Bartlett's services as Register be dis pensed with, but the President has not yet been convinced that Knowles. for whose appointment the Oregon Senators stand firm. Is a proper man for the place. It should be said in all fairness for Knowles, however, that the reports al leging that he Is backed by the saloon and gambling clement of his home town do not imply that he Is a part of this element. In fact, there Is accumulating evidence In the department which shows that Knowles. personally. Is a man of thoroughly sound reputation. If the President can be brought to see that Knowles, although indorsed by the undesirable element, Is himself a man of high character, he may relent In his op position and yield to the demands of the Senators. The President is between two fires. The Interior Department urges him to appoint a successor to Bartlett, while the Senators Insist on the appointment of Knowles, and he himself, up to the pres ent time, has expressed a preference for Ed Davis, but Davig Is not acceptable to the Senators. If they would consent to his appointment It would be made at once, for the President has gone so far as to promise the appointment, if the Sena tors wore willing to compromise on Davis. The Senators, however, promptly rejected the President's offer. In view of all the pressure that had been brought to bear on the President, It was expected that the La Grande Reglstership, would have been settled long ago. There Is no means of judging when the contest -will end. HITCHCOCK GAIXS IX POWERS. Grafters' Attempt to Oast Him In crease Influence With President. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU, "Wash ington, Aug. 20.
