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

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.
