An hour after the attack had been made one torpedo boat had succeeded n getting to Fort Preble, the Inner fort. and practically the key to the situation, before searchlights found her, and before shots could be directed upon her.

After commenting e fearful atrocities now being per petrated in Macedonia by insurgents the Turks. Labouchere in Truth to day comes out in the most severe criti cism of England's attitude In the deplor able Eastern situation. The famous editor s"ays that England occupies a shameful passlveness In re gard to the Turkteh Imbroglio, and seems satisfied to stand aside and allow thousands to be tortured, women and young girls horribly Ill-treated and tne name of humanity disgraced. He says that the powers should give Macedonia to Russia, provided that the czar will promise to put a stop to the horrors. He goes on to say that the "tricky Bcoundrel sultan has long suc ceeded In converting the fairest dis-t-icts in the world into a hell by play ing one European power against an other. We are the only one now," con tinues Mr. Labouchere, "on which he can count in this devil's game." The arraignment closes by a pathetic account of tha destruction at Kreushevo yesterday by the rebels, which left women and children, homeless widows and orphans the prey to vile ravish ers. He makes a play on the nature of the tortures practiced, and recounts the In cident of a young girl on whose arm was a bracelet A looter, not being able to slip the bracelet from the wrist with ease, cut the victim's hand 6f After this several brutes led the suffering one away to become even more atrociously maltreated.

Storm of Yesterday Palled to Damage Either Yacht Belianca Bemeasored Because of Hew Oaff Challenger Weather Announced for Tomorrow Upton Will Visit Chicago and Boston After the Baces. (Journal Special Service.) New York, Aug. 26. It has developed that the terrific storm that swept over Sandy Hook bay last evening failed to damage either the Reliance or the Sham rock, although the latter was in grave peril of being torn from her moorings by collision of several vessels that were driven before the fury of the wind and rain. The storm was only of an hour's dura tion, and after its subsiding (he sun broke out in a glory as It set Sir Thomas Llpton left Erie Basin so soon as the rain began, and he viewed the havoc In the bay from the com mander's quarters at the Hook, v After the storm both the Reliance and the Shamrock were examined thor oughly and not the slightest damage had been done either craft. Today all preparations are being made for what Is believed will be the final race tomorrow. Sir Thomas Llpton In conversation said that -yesterday the best boat had won, but continuing lie remarked; '"There are two horses on me, but that game Is often beaten." Wont Confess Defeat. Llpton later today refuses to confess defeat, and sayS if there is a" decent breeze tomorrow everybody "must look out for the Shamrock, as the weather mark. He Is very hopeful to win the ARMY AND NAVY ABOUT THE BOARD Colonel Huston, Post Commander, Will Give a Bee option to the Offioers of The Uarblebead and Conoord Tonight Continued, on Page Two.) Colonel Huston, post commander at Vancouver barracks, will give a recep tion this evening to the officers of the warships Concord and Marblehead, now In this port. Arrangements have been made to entertain a large gathering, as invitations have been sent to the elite of the city and the various army and navy men in the town. Special cars will leave for Vancouver this evening at 7:45 and returning will leave the barracks at midnight. Manager H. C. Bowers of the Hotel Portland gave a dinner in the handsome big parlor of the hotel last night, to the officers of the Concord and Marblehead. All were present except Commander C. P. Perkins of the Concord. Captain Perkins had a previous engagement with a theatrical party and was compelled to send his regrets. The menu was espe cially fine, and the decorations not only beautiful but unique and particularly appropriate. At npon "today Commander T. S. Phelps of the Marblehead entertained Mr. Bowers and a number of guests at the hotel dinner, at breakfast on board the Marblehead. The Marblehead Is one of the swiftest things afloat In the United States navy. She can reel oft 19 knots an hour under force draft, and lacking .61 of a knot is the fastest vessel of her class that flies the flag of Whole Sam. The other war vessels in her clas are the unpro tected cruisers Montgomery and Detroit. The maximum speed per hour of the Montgomery on her trial trip was 1B.0S; of the Marblehead, 18.44, and of the De troit 18.07. When Uncle Sam Is In a hurry and wants to get somewhere prettyi quick, as between the Marble head and the Concord he would pick the former. But for all-round service and long-sustained speed the Concord is one of the most compact and serviceable craft that carries the stars and stripes. Her speed. is 16.8 knots per hour, but TOM JOHNSON IS THE BIG LEADER Ohio Democratic Convention Olves Xrga Majority to Cleveland's Mayor Placed In Line for Presiden tial Nomination. (Journal Special Service.) Columbus, O., Aug. 26. The Demo cratic convention In session today en dorsed the Kansas City platform.

Unusual Interest was taken in the proceedings all day, and the support that Mayor Johnson secured wa even sur prising to his friends. The leader made a speech of some length U, which he called upon all to renew their Industry and bring such force to bear that will secure victory at the next national elec tion. Mr. Johnson was nominated as candi date for governor of Ohio 'by acclamation.

Aug. 26. Eddie the son of Supervisor Roberts, met with a singu lar accident last night. He was riding on another boy's bicycle and did not see the closed bridge on the Feather river, it being very dark. He met the obstruction and plunged through the opening which is used to throw out. street sweepings Into the river 30 feet from that point. Aimlessly grabbing (Continued on Page Two.) Episodes of Interest are multiplying around the anchorage of the gunboat Concord and unprotected cruiser Marble head below the Burnslde-street bridge. There were two desertions from Con cord yesterday and last night, one of them being attended by considerable ex citement. An old tar named George Roberts, who has seen long service In the United States navy, wasthe man who took French leave in the afternoon. He was noticed hanging from a starboard port, forward, by his hands. It was appar ent to those who saw him that he in tended to desert, but before the word could be passed to the officer of the deck by the men on the forecastle or bridge, Tar Roberts had droDDed Into the waters of the placid Willamette. The drop was well-timed, for when he came to the surface Roberts hailed it ' and. with water dripping from his uni form, climbed aboard. The boat was rowed by a boy who. entering heartily into the spirit of the escapade, gulled for the Alblna shore with all his might and main. Roberts sat in the stern with a broad grin on his oceanic vls- age. He sang aloud, so tils shipmates could hear: "Pull for the shore, sailor, pull for the shore; Heed not the rolling waves, but bend to the oar!" And the boy oarsman pulled about 4S strokes to the minute. Before the nose of the boat had " hardly grated on the sand Roberta sprang ashore, waved his cap In fare well to his shipmates on the Concord. and running up the steep bank disap peared among the long lines of box cars on the sidetracks of he Southern Pacific railroad's East Side division. The first story in circulation about the desertion was that iwo sailors were sent in search of the fugitive in one of the ship's small boats, and that they, too, as soon asthey got ashore and clear of the shlpi deserted. But this was denied this morning on board the Concord. The facts are that Ensign Huff, officer of the deck at the time, gave chase in the whaleboat with a full crew at the oars, but the chase was fu tile. Roberts had made good his esv cape. and could not be found. He has not been seen since. Some time during last night Jim McKay, another of the crew, dropped overboard and swam ashore. At least that was the general conclusion arrived at on board the Concord this morning when a search of the ship failed to dis cover him anywhere. At Astoria, dur-, ing the regatta, there were quite a large number of desertions from both the Concord and Marblehead. The latter has about a dozen men confined in her brig, and some of them In double irons, and the Concord about half as many Im prisoned, for minor infractions of the ship's rules on board and ashore. Heavy With Gold and Silver. This is payday on board the Marble head. Two trusted seamen came ashore with the paymaster this morning and returned to the ship about 11 o'clock with a big, black handsatchel so heavy with gold and silver that it required their united strength and staying pow ers to carry it. . .(Continued on Page Two.)
