DEFENDER IS GIVEN THE RACE
General Regret Expressed at the
Unfortanatu Ending of Races
So Well Began.
New York, Sept. 12. Tha International
series between the Defender and Valkyrie
III for the American cup la ended. On
tha who'M It has been an extraordinary
scries and while tlie result la satisfactory
to the American people, two at least or
the contests that mada up the match
were not.. Lord Dunraven said last night,
most emphatically, that he would with
draw his toat on the morrow If a clear
course was not provided. He claimed
that during the previous races his boat
had been greatly intereferred with and
as everything depended upon the outcome
of the third series, he adhered to that de
cision o closely that the Valkyrie merely
crossed the starting' line and then re
tired from the contest. The Defender
continued on her Journey and went over
the course well within the limit. By her
three straight victories the Defender re
tains the historic cup.
General regret was expressed that the
series begun so auspiciously and prom
ising so much had ended so disastrously.
for while the questions which, were
aroused as to the winner of the second
race might have been passed' by unheed
ed, had a stirring contest taken place to
day, the withdrawal of Lord Dunraven In
the third and perhaps deciding race had
a necessarily depressing effect on all
those Identified with the great match and
will probably have a serious effect In
regard to future races.
HONOLULU ADVICES.
Forty-ono Cases of Cholera and Thirty-
Five Deaths.
San Francisco, Sept 12. Tho steamship

Blanche carried school books and wore
a bOak serge dress. I identify these
books and dress as those carried and
worn on that day."
The witness nlso described Durrant's
attire on that day. The attorneys for
the defense gave Miss Edwards a long
and severe cross-examination, but she
stuck to her story without a break, pos
itively Identifying Durrant as the man
accompanying Blanche on the afternoon
of April 3. She described minutely how
Blanche and hor Durrant stood before
boarding the car; told how Durrant wore
his hat and every change of position
he made. She had Identified Durrant s

NIPPED IN THE Bl
California's New Railroad Se
cured by the Enemy.
The Devil Fish Gets It Before It is
Even Completed-Some Inter
esting: Facts.
As showing the far reaoning plains and
powerful influence of the great rail
roads, the following from the Chicago
Tribune in regard to the new California
railroad, from which so much was ex
pected in the way of relief from the
claimed tyrannies of the Southern Pa
cific, will be ot general interest:
About a year ago It was announced
with a great blare of trumpets that the
merchants and shippers of California,
through the efforts of J. S. Leeds, then
traffic manager of the California Trafflo
Association, had succeeded In perfect
ing the arrangements for the construc
tion of a new road through the San
Joaquin Valley from 6an Francisco to
Bakersfleld, Cal. The road, it was claim
ed, would relieve the California people
from the clutches of the Southern Pacifio
monopoly, and force the latter to make
fair and reasonable rates. Sugar King
Bpreckels became a large subscriber to
the new road, and nearly 13,000,000 cash
was raised among California capitalists
In (furtherance of the new project. Ex
cellent progress has been made In the
construction of the new line, and rails
are now being laid with the prespect of
completing the new road by the first ol
next year.
Apparently rellalbl-e Information has
lately come Into the possession of the
Tribune which Indicates the new can
Joaquin Valley railroad will not accom
plish the object for which It was organ
ized, and the Southern Pacific monop
olists have virtually succeeaea in crow
lng out the original' organizers of the
new enterprise and securing control of
the property themselves, it is ciaimea
the new line Is now being pushed tow
ards completion with Southern Pacific
capital. .Instead of affording relief to
the long-suffering people of California
the new line will only help to fasten the
tenacles of the Southern Pacific devil-fish
Btlll more firmly upon them.
It looked rather strange when, shortly
after the building ot the San Joaquin
Valley railroad had become assured, the
moving spirit of the new enterprise and
the Implacable enemy of the Southern
Pacific monopoly, J. S. Leeds, suddenly
resigned his position as traffic manager
of the California Traffic Association,
though only a month or two previous he
had been reappointed to the position
which he had filled so creditably and with
such signal success for several years.
Mr. Leeds left California and came to
St. Louis, where he Is now commissioner
of the Merchants' Freight Bureau. An
exDlanatlon why he resigned so suddenly
his lucrative position with the California
shippers and merchants has never been
made. Since then many things have
transpired, however, which Indicate Mr.
Leeds' retirement from his position with
the California Traffic Association was
due to his sudden discovery that his pet
San Joaquin Valley railroad enterprise
had fallen into the hands of the enemy.
The California Construction Company,
which ts a Southern Pacific enterprise.
has lately taken charge of the building
of the San Joaquin road.
The latest straw, however, which shows
which way the wind blows is the ap
pointment of a Southern Pacific railway
employe as Tramc Manager or the Ship.

vacant until now. The new appointee is
W. B. Curtis, who has been chief clerk
in charge of tariffs and statistics In the
office of TrafTlo Manager Gray, of the
Southern Pacific for many years past.
and his new appointment. It Is said, was
procured through the Influence of South
ern Pacific officials. The executive com
mittee of the Traffic Association, it Is
claimed, consented to the appointment of
Mr. Curtis as their traffic manager on the
promise of the Southern Pacific Managers
that they would agree to a general re
duction In local freight rates between
points in California.

suit of State Railroad Commissioner Ed

to enforce the payment of salary, which
was decided In favor of the commission
er, some time ago, tho supreme court
today refused to grant a re-hearing.
In the case of Treasurer Weston, of the
state normal school, against Secretary
of State Klncald, to compel the payment
of the appropriations in bulk, which was
set for hearing today, nothing was done
except to file a general demurrer to the
complaint.
BANNOCK TO GET THEIR GOODS.
Washington, Sept. 12. Tho Indian Bu
reau has granted permission to Agent
Teeter, at the Fort Hall reservation, in
Idaho, to allow certain Bannock In
dians to go into the Jackson's Hole dis
trict, under a military escort, In search
of property abandoned there by them
on the occasion of the attack made by
the settlers on them.
The Dalles Chronicle says: "Tha bus
iness men of The Dalles invested about
340,000 in the boat line, which lias un
doubtedly saved the producers who havr
marketed their products In The Dalles,
and consumers whose goods have been
shipped to The Dalles, many times that
amount. The Investment thus far has
not been a profitable one for the Invest
ors, except as they have derived profit
by the increase of business at this place,
and saving of freight rates. In three
years they have received one dividend
of ten per cent. If, when the locks are
opened, the men who have thslr capital
tied up In the line, should think it wise,
without endangering the independence o?
of this city as a shipping point, to with
draw from the steamboat business and
