WINS BY A NARROW MARGIN CUP DEFENDER JUST ONE MIN- UTE AND NINETEEN SECONDS TO THE GOOD. AMERICA’S CUP SURELY SAFE . WILL TAKE SOMETHING BETTER THAN SHAMROCK TO EVEN BUDGE IT. New York, Aug. 26.—In a glorious whole-sail breeze, over a triangular course, ten miles to a leg, the fieet- footed cup defender Reliance again showed her heels to Sir Thomas Lip- ton’s challenger; taking the second race of the cup series of 1903 by the narrow margin of one minute and nineteen seconds. It was as pretty and hard fought a contest as has ever been sailed off Sandy Hook, and had the wind not fallen during the last ten minutes the record for the course, three hours, twelve minutes ard fifteen seconds, made by Columbia two years ago in her memorable race against Sham- rock II., would have been broken. As it was, Reliance sailed the thirty miles within two minutes and thirty- nine seconds of the record, which Speaks Wonders for her speed in the wind that was blowing. Reliance’s victory, narrow as it was, would have been much smaller had not Capt. Wringe, the skipper of the British ship, bungled the start, sending his craft over the line nineteen seconds after the last gun, and handicapping her to that ex- tent. At every point of sailing the defender’s superiority was demon- strated. She gained one minute and fifty-one seconds in windward work, forty seconds on the run to the second mark, and forty-five seconds on the close reach for home. Based on the magnificent showing she has made in the two races already sailed, it is the belief of many experts that the cup is safe and that it will take something better than Fife’s latest creation to even budge it. An’assemblage of excursion vessels almost as large as that of last Sat- urday poured down through the Nar- rows and out into the broad Atlantic yesterday to witness The Vanishing Glory of the challenger. The spectators watched the jockeying for the start with eager interest. The American skipper, by his extremely clever work, again outgeneraled his rival and secured the weather gauge. Not only was the challenger’s captain defeated in his effort to secure the windward berth, but he actually failed to cross im time to save a handicap, an almost unpardonable sin in a cup contest. Barr never relinquished his advantage after the start, holding the challenger under his lee all the way to the first mark. Slowly but surely the thousands aboard the observation fleet saw that Reliance was gaining, opening a wider and wider stretch of water be- tween her and the challenger. Reli- ance sailed the second leg of ten miles in fifty-six minutes and twenty seconds. The last leg was also cov- | ered At Roaring Speed, Reliance still increasing her lead. The guide boat sent ahead to show the course was too slow, although ev- erything aboard of her was wide open, jand Reliance passed her before the at least half a dozen men in a fiers | line was reached. All the ocean-going tugs and many of the steam yachts were left astern in the mad race. Just before the finish the wind died down, but Reliance went across in ample time to win, having covered the ten miles in fifty-seven minutes and forty seconds. There followed the | usual riot of whistles, mingled with the wail of sirens, the clamor of bells, | the exultant shouts of patriots and the booming of cannon. Shamrock was about a mile astern and crossed four minutes and forty seconds later to a repetition of the riot which had wel- comed Reliance’s victory. Racers in Great Danger. Then the great observation fleet headed back to New York at top speed, not waiting to follow the racers in. And it was well that it was so. Before half the fleet had reached the upper bay the green gray squall from the northwest, raising a curtain of spray as it came, struck the fleet, bringing grief to many excursionists and carrying away yacht and steamer awnings and tophamper generally. Had the squall found the racers and the attendant fleet out on the ocean race course yesterday might have chronicled a great marine disaster. Shamrock III., Reliance and a fleet of half a dozen fine yachts, including the Erin, C. Oliver Iselin’s Sunbeam and the Hereshoff’s: Roamer, were in great danger for a time. Reliance lay in a position more out of danger. The moorings of Shamrock III. and Reliance held fast, though the wind threw their bows around into the face of the gale violently and they tugged hard at their cables. cently attacked Prof. Snoddy.

Northfield, Minn., Aug. 26.—Chief of Police Ramage had an encounter with Hans Hauson, who has been working near Farmington. Hanson was intox- icated and the chief ordered him to leave town.

REDS AT LEECH LAKE AGENCY. WHITES READY TO SEEK SAFETY INDIANS GATHER ABOUT THE AGENCY AND MAKE DEMON. STRATIONS, WHISKY IS AT BOTTOM OF IT THE AGENT'S CRUSADE AGAINST SALOONS AT WALKER IS RESENTED. Walker, Minn., Aug. 26.—TInforma- tion comes from Onigum, the head- quarters of the Leech Lake Indian ageney and of the Chippewa reserva- tion of Northern Minnesota, that an Indian outbreak is feared. The trouble nearly came to a head Saturday, when a half-dozen white families at the agency packed their belongings and got ready to escape to a place of safe- ty if necessary. The Indians have quieted down somewhat since then, but-the tromble is not yet over. The Indians gathered about the agency. Saturday in numbers, and there was much demonstration. While no overt acts were committed the out- look was serious enough to prompt Chief Clerk Morgan of the agency, who was in charge in the absence of Maj. Scott, the agent, to warn the em- ployes be ready to flee for their lives. @ employes lost no time in packing all their possessions, and Sat- urday night’ was Spent in Wakefulness. A launch was kept ready and the whites were prepared to boad it, and by hugging the opposite shore of the lake, to escape to Walker, It was at this place that the Indian outbreak occurred five years ago, when the United States troops were sent to Walker and had their fight at Sugar Point with the Indians in which several of the regulars were killed. Timber matters and whisky are what have mainly irritated the In- dians. They have bcen disgruntled over several minor grievances recent- ly wanted a leader to rise in open warfare. The leader has been sup- plied ‘in the person of a former chief of the Indian police on the reserva- tion, but more recently a prisoner at Duluth on a charge of selling liquor to the Indians. He is an influential man among the Indians and his fore- fathers were kings of the Chippewas. Gathered about him are a number of the young bloods, who are Desirous of Trouble, and several of the leaders of the form- er outbreak. Flatmouth. chief of the Chippewa Indians, is strongly in favor of peace and is doing his utmost to prevent trouble. He is not in’ great favor with the Indians, however, and little heed is paid to him by the other party. Flatmouth has sent to Bear island, the home of the blanket Indians, for .| several of his friends, among whom is “Old Bug,” the leader of the former outbreak, and has induced them to work for peace. Chief Clerk Morgan says that the Indians resent the attitude the agent, Maj. Scott, has taken against the Walker saloonmen, several of whom he has brought to trial in the United States courts. Maj. Scott and the agency officials have done their ut- most to exterminate the selling of liquor to the red men and have thus made enemies of many of the Indians. POSTMASTER’S SON ARRESTED.
