Clothes V?5 CONDITIONS NOT CHANGED Whether New York Club Will Use 7 5-Foot or 9 0-Foot Craft Is Not Divulged New Rules of . Measurement Hold. NEW YORK. July 19. A series of races for the America's cup -will be Balled in Eastern waters during Sep tember, 1914. This was formally an nounced by the cup committee of the New York YacKt Club tonight. The Hoyal Ulster Yacht Club of Belfast, act ing for Sir Thomas Lipton, cabled the New York Yacht Club committee today that the conditions prescribed by the New York Yacht Club had been accept ed and signed and were on the way to America. On receipt of the cablegram the club officials announced that the tentative dates for the races had been selected as follows: Thursday, Saturday and Tuesday, September 10, 12 and 15. and to continue on succeeding Thursdays, Saturdays and Tuesdays until three out of five races had been won by one of the con testing yachts. Conditions Not' Chnogcd. It was also announced that the races would be sailed under practically the same conditions that have governed former America's cup matches, with the exception that they are to be held un der the "present racing rules and rule of measurement now in force in the New York Yacht Club." This latter clause refers to the tech nical methods of measurement and other details incidental to the cup race, and not to the size of the yachts. On this latter point the cup committee maintained a polity of silence. It was said, however, that the cup defending club was not committed to either a 76 or 90-foot yacht and would not make public announcement of Its decision on this matter until later. Terms Kept Secret. Secretary C. A. Cormack. of the New York Yacht Club, refused to divulge the terms laid down by the cup-holding club under which Sir Thomas would be permitted to race for the trophy won by the America many years ago. Mr. Cormack said these conditions and the size of the competing yachts would be announced In due time. The question as to the location of the course also was waived as being unim portant at this time. It is understood, however, among members of the club who are In touch with the cup committee that the cup challenger and defender will be 75 footers and that the races will be sailed off Sandy Hook, although there is the possibility that the 12 months intervening before the match may cause alteration in the plans as now tentatively arranged.

Sir Richard McBrlde Discusses Pos sibilities of International Road Along West Coast. VICTORIA, B. C, July 19. (Speoial.) Public men In close touch with af fairs feel Justified In predicting that the next five years will witness the completion of direct all-rail communi cation between the Isthmus of Panama and Alaska, forming the longest con tinuous railway on the American con tinent. The Panama - British Columbia Alaska through line, has for some time past, occupied a prominent place In the policy of provincial developments by means of railway construction being carried into full effect by Sir Richard McBride. In addressing the Progress Club at Vancouver a few days ago, Bir Richard intimated, in closing a speech of considerable significance, that ha re garded the bringing into existence of a railway connecting Alaska with the United States and the great canal via British Columbia as the principal am bition or his career. Following up this statement. Sir Richard, In an interview, dwelt again with special emphasis upon the plans which are taking' form for the creation of this north and south in ternational railway. "I have been working for some time on this railway projeot," said Sir Rich ard, "and it is only within the past two years, since the provincial government undertook to build the Pacific Great Eastern Railway, that such a north and south line through British Columbia has made the entire scheme altogether feasible. As the situation stands at present, the Pacific Oreat Eastern will extend from Vancouver northerly for 700 miles, and our proposal is to secure the further extension of this line through the Yukon to the , Alaskan boundary; there making contact with the United States Federal railway sys tem, toward the construction of which no less than $40,000,000 already has been appropriated. "The Pacific Great Eastern Railway is now building from the City of Van couver, where today two American systems are operating and giving full and satisfactory contact with all the transcontinental lines to the south. Up. ward of 4000 men are actively engaged on the construction of this road. The president of the company, J. W. Stew art, is well known throughout railway centers on both sides of the line. The contractor for the work, P. Welch, has A4 V undertaken and carried to successful completion several notably large rail way projects, his firm having, indeed, the greatest mileage to Its credit of any ,ln America." ROAD WILL BE INSPECTED Party of Experts to Iieave Eugene for Trip Over New Highway. EUGENE, Or., July 19. (Special.) Warren Allen, senior highway engineer in the office of public roads of Wash ington, and Charles H. Flory, chief of operation of the forest service, will leave Eugene Wednesday, July 23, ac companied by Governor West and State Highway Engineer Bowlby to Inspect the McKenzie road and cross Into East ern Oregon by way of McKenzie pass.

As the result of a peculiar situation at Raymond the State Public Service Commission, at the conclusion of a hearing partly held, may reopen the water rate case. On complaint of Ray mond the Commission some time ago fixed a series of water rates. It now develops that the Raymond Ueht &. Power Company had an arrangement witn tne winapa Lumber Company and the Siler Mill companies by the terms of which the latter companies fur nished the light and power concern with certain reservations, in return for which they were to be supplied with water free of charge. Since the now rates were flxe.1. how ever, the lumber and mill companies say they have been charged for the water. They have asked the reopening of the case In order that their eld contracts may be taken Into account. The Public Service Commission this week took evidence In the case at Raymond and will take further evi dence at Olympia July 28.

FoUette Regarded' by Many as Too Radical and Cummins Has Opposition In Both Factions of Republicans. OREGONIAN NEWS BUREAU. Wash ington, July 19. Talk of Senator Borah, of Idaho, as the Republican candidate for President in 1916 continues in Washington and elsewhere, notwith standing the Senator refuses to be come a candidate for the nomination and refuses to allow his friends to ad vance him for that honor. The predic tion, made some weeks ago by Colonel Harvey, of Harpers' Weekly, that Sen ator Borah would be the Republican nominee in 1918, seems to have struck a responsive chord, and editorial and other comment, as well as gossip among politicians at the National capital In dicates that Senator Borah is one of the men who must be figured on when next the Republican party gets down to the selection of a leader for the Presidential campaign three years hence. Assuming the party is reunited by 1916. it is safe to say that Senator Borah will be a big factor. He is to day one of the foremost men in the party, and one of the few big Repub licans in the present Senate. A re united party must have for its leader in the next campaign a man who will be acceptable to both factions, and one who, if nominated, will draw out a heavy vote. The Democrats, - having tasted victory after 16 years in the cold, will make a tremendous effort to carry the next Presidential election, and they will be stronger In 1916 than they were in 1912 if their tariff and cur rency programmes prove popular. On the other hand, of course, if their legis lative record proves unpopular, they will be that much easier to defeat. Other Senators Mentioned. The United States Senate offers sev eral men who are to be reckoned with as possible party leaders In 1916. Sena tor La Follette will never abandon his Presidential aspirations; neither will Senator Cummins. La Follette is an tagonistic to a large element in the Republican oartv. hanca m . treme views; Cummins has less follow ing than La. Follattn. ur,f v,Qo tion in both the raiilral nH fh. servative wings of the party, while Senator Borah' has strength in both factions, because of his well-known in dependence. In the fight at Chicago a year ago, Senator Borah was one of the active Roosevelt leadern im tn tha Hmi i came evident that the Republican con vention would nominate the Colonel. senator juorah was utterly opposed to' the ronnmfnntfnn r n - - ' - v. 1 L. Attil. After Taft had been nominated, ' Sena- iur Drn reiusea to go rurther with Colonel Roosevelt against the launching of the third Ftiji wniui jib reiusea to join. Since the last election Senator Borah has. been urging insistently that the Renublican nartv tnirA n fli-m r, ,i cided stand on the trust question. He regaras mis as tne greatest of all is sues now before the country. Precedents Are Being? Made. Senator Borah h mnrfA hia n-ht for the Renuhllon n nirtn ar.t i . a third party. He has expressed his confidence in the Republican party to again get together, and he has ex pressed unalterable opposition to the formation of a third party, when the Republican party offers so much better opportunities for building up an or ganization to oppose the Democracy. xo swing to a tnira party, he main tains, would give the Democrats con trol of the Government for the next 20 years, and would delay the proposed Progressive Republican reforms Just that long. The one thing argued against Sena tor Borah as a Presidential possibility iS that he hails frnm THnhn onri it i a not because there Is anything against Idaho as a state: merely the fact that Idaho is small in population, and it has always been the custom to select Presidential candidates from states strong politically. This, however, is merely a custom, and these are days when new precedents are being made. COOS BAY WORK READY CHAXXEL TO BE DEEPENED AXD WIDENED FOR 15 MILES. .

TOKIO. July ' 19. Considerable dis appointment is feit in Japan in con nection with the American reply to the last two Japanese notes on the sub ject of the California land legislation, which does not accept any of the Jap anese contentions, that the bill violates the Japanese-American treaty, and does not offer any suggestion for the solution of the difficulty. The situation here has reached "a deadlock. Japan has not yet decided on her next step, but is so desirous of maintaining friendly relations that it is believed she will not adopt re taliatory measures, such as the de nunciation of the trea.ty on the grounds that it Is useless, or the reduction of the rights of American citizens in Ja pan. The Japanese public has been led by the press to the belief that Washing ton would afford some relief to the situation, and therefore the govern- ment's'-'task -has been made more dif ficult. The :DUblic- generally; however, is-absorbed in the development of the Chinese-situatPon, in regard to which official advices show that the rebellion in Southern . China has been becoming grave. INDIAN GRAVEYARD FOUND Bones In Remarkable State of Pres- ervatlon Uncovered at'Welser. WEISER, Idaho, July 19. (Special.) What is believed to have been an In dian burial ground in the days of the long ago has just been unearthed in the residence section of West' Weiser by the discovery of a number of human bones by workmen constructing the sewer ditch. Several bones of the body and four skulls were unearthed and all in a remarkable state of preser vation. The skulls were found within a small circle and all lying with the tops of the heads together. Physicians and others who have ex amined the skulls pronounce them those of Indians. .They were buried at a depth of six feet in very sandy soil.
