The Defender’s lower topmast immediately buckled under the strain of her jib topsail with a loud crack and at the same moment the startnig-gun was fired exactly at 11 The Defender’s crew were ordered o’clock forward to take i to save the topm and in that condition she crossed the line at 11:01: The Valkyrie had preceded her at 11 13. As she crossed the line the Defender hoisted a protest flag, and an answering pennant on the judges’ boat showed it b been seen and would be considered. The two boats crossed upon the starboard tack, but immediately afterward the De- fender went about on the port tack, in order to bring the strain of her topmast on the uninjured side, and the Valkyrie fol- lowed on the same tack. An attempt to replace the broken shroud was immediately made upon the Defender, and a makeshift which partially answered the purpose was devised. At 11:24 the Defender went about upon tne starboard tack and ten seconds later the Valkyrie followed her. It was then seen that the Valkyrie was about a quarter of a mile ahead of the De- fender and was fully 100 vards to wind- ward. At 11:30 o’clock the two racers went about upon the port tack again, and several minutes later the Defender broke out her jib topsail again. quickly, however, mast could not stand wind continued to little to the westward. At 11:54:00 the De again and the Valky followed a few sec- onds later, both standing off shore on the starboard tack. The Valkyrie was still about a quarter of a mile ahead. At both tacked the wind 12:19:00 rboard was made. was not only t eighth or hal ahead of the Defender, but was also a quarter of a mile to wind- ward. The wind had now freshened to twelve or fourteen miles an hour and the water became much rougher. The Valkyrie now began to make con- siderable disturbance, rolling up quite a her weakened t the strain. hen and hauled a fender came about this time tt wave under her bow, and slowly but surely | the crippled Defender began to creep up on her. She not only went more smoothly through the water, but she began to out- point the English boat as well. 12 3 and, easing off her sheets, started for the second mark. Assoon as the Val- kyrie rounded the mark she hauled down her jib topsail, and two minutes later took in her staysail, preparatory to setting her balloon jib in stops. She broke it together with a huge balloon staysail at 00. The Defender rounded the mark at 1:01:35, having been beaten just three minutes and fifty-two seconds in the ten miles. T of course, did not include the difference of time at the start. Immediately after rounding the De- fender broke out a baby jib topsail and took in her staysail. A few minutes later she, too, set a balloon staysail. The run to the second mark was a broad reach, with the wind over the starboard quarter and the sails set to port. The wind kept on in- creasing, reaching about eighteen miles an hour at one time on this leg, and the yachts dashed on at a good pace. Nobly as the Defender had done on the first leg, it was nevertheless a hopeless race for the Yankee yacht. Being unable, on account of the weakness of her top- mast, to set her balloon jib she could not, of course, carry anywhere near as much gail as the Englishman. The little baby jib topsail and balloon staysail offered but a poor substitute for a balloon jib. spite of this handicap, however, she held her own much better than could have been expected, and actually gained 17 seconds on the ten miles. Much of this gain was due to the difference in the behavior of the two boats in the rather stiff sea. At 1:58 the Valkyrie took in her balloon jib top- sail, and at 1 10 she turned the second mark, sending up a No. 2 jib topsail as she did so. She then hauled in her sheet and started for home with her mainsail and club topsail, jib and jib topsail set. At 1:59 P. M. the Defender, which had by that time nearly reached the mark, took in her baby jib topsail and gibed and rounded the mark at 2:01:45. She broke out a No. 2 jib topsail, which in size was about the same as that of the Valkyrie. Just as the boats were rounding the mark the breeze took another spurt and before it settled down again it had reached a velocity of twelve to sixteen miles an hour. Theleg was a reach close hauled with booms to starboard. This brought the strain of the Defender’s sails on her port shrouds which were uninjured, and for the first time during the race it was possible to sail her to the best of her abil- ity, and how good that was she showed by the way she overhauled the Valkyrie. She was half a mile behind the Valkyrie when she rounded the stakeboat, and in less than half an hour she had cut the dis- tance to three-eighths of a mile. She was but 3 minutes and 35 seconds behind at the second mark, and during the last ten miles she gained 1 minute 17 seconds, which, deducting the difference of time at the start and her allowance, made her a loser by only 47 seconds. Had the last leg been five miles longer the Defender would have won by over a minute. But the leg was only ten miles, and the boat could not overcome the handicap. The Defender made a most remarkable showing under the circumstances, and her superiority was marked on every point of sailing, even in her crippled condition. Tt is greatly to her credit that she was defeated by such a small margin. WERE NOT TO BLAME. Captains Cranfield and Sycamore Said the Valkyrie Was Not Responsi- kle for the Collision. NEW YORK, N. Y., Sept. 10.—There was an air of pronounced though sup- pressed jubilation about the Valkyrie's skippers and crew when the yacht came to her anchorage off Bay Ridge that told how intensely they relished coming in ahead of the American champion. The crew went ebout their work with a zest that demon- straied how satisfied they were with the performance of their pet in the race, while Captains Cranfield and Syca- more stood complacently smoking cigars with a joyous expression on their faces, that was not there on Saturday evemng.

Then the two batches of sailors began to race to see which could reach their floating home first, and the pulling and shouting and cheering that ensued brought Arthur | Glennie and H. Maitland Kersey out on | the deck of the City of Bridgeport. There | they stood and watched with smiles the struggles and antics of the crew until the tender’s side was reached. A reporter rowed out to the Valkyrie in order to obtain the Englishmen’s views on the burning question of the moment, namely, upon whom rested the responsi- bility for the Defender’'s mishap. There of the Britishers to speak about the mat- | ter. On the City of Bridgeport, whither Lord Dunraven, Mr. Kersey and Mr. Glen- nie had immedia‘ely proceeded upon the arrival of the Valkyrie at Bay Ridce, the reporter was in fact met with an absolute refusal to talk. «“Well, will you answer me one pertinent question?’’ he asked. 0; not even what my christian name is. When Mr. Glennie was informed that public opinion was inclined to blame the Valkyrie for the collision and to attribute unfairness to the British boat, Mr. Glennie | exclaimed : “We don’t care what the public thinks and I must ask you to leave this boat.” was, however, a disinclination on the part | i any statement of his side of the case, say- | which represented the Defender got caught ing that it would not be fair to the com- mittee to do so. As the reporter rowed by the Defender on the way to the Atlantic Club’s float the crew of the Defender had cast loose the lashings made immediately after the mishap occurred and the extent of the damage could be better seen. The top- mast buckled right over to the port side as goon as the temporary support wes taken away. The mainmast is uninjured. The men were getting down the topmast and making preparations to repair the dam- ages. The Lefender used her well fitting suit of sails to-day with the exception of the white club topsail. A prominent member of the Atlantic Yacht Club who was near the starting line at the time of the accident said the claim of the foul onght not to be allowed, in his opinion. He said that the Defender re- fused to give way until it came to a ques- tion as to whether the Valkyrie should foul or run into the judge’s boat, and she decided on the former course. The regatta committee will not decide the protest before to-morrow. It is gener- ally believed the decision will be in favor of the Defender. THEY FAVOR DEFENDER.

THE RIVAL YACHT CAPTAINS. | captain William Cranfield will sail Valkyrie ITI in her races for the America cup and Captain Hank | Haf will be in charge of the Defender. Both are yachtsmen of wide experience. flower and the Volunteer when they successfully defended the old cup years ago. Haff sailed the May- Captain Cranfield and Captain Sycamore showed a disposition to be a little more { communicative when they were hailed on board the Valkyrie later. Replying to a question as to whether the Valkyrie was to blame for the accident Captain Cranfield said: “Emphatically no; the fault was all on the Defender's side.” “Will you explain in what way?” “Yes; the mishap happened in this manner: We were standing straight for the line when the Defender came-along in the same direction and suddenly shoved her helm down hard and stood toward us. At that time we were abreast the commit- tee boat, the Luckenbach, and it was im- possible for us to give way, because if we had luffed we should have been forced against the big tug. We kept on our way as we were compelled to do, and the De- | fender keeping on hers struck our boom with her back stay, which was broken from the contact. We werein advanceand had the right of way most certainly as the commit- tee can testify, and the Defender has only herself to biame for the accident. How any one could pretend to put the fault on us, when the position of the boats at the time of the accident occurred is consid- ered I cannot see. The very fact that the Defender hit her back stay on our boom while we were keeping on a straight course speaks for itself.”” “Then youdo not think the Defender’s protest will be sustained ?”’ “] cannot see how it fairly can be.” “Shall you object to run the race over again if the committee decides against you?” < |7 “Well, T don’t know,” replied:Captain Cranfleld, and added with just the shadow of a smile: I rather think that if the protest is up- held we shail make our way home again and call it one win each.” “Were you satisfied with the Valkyrie's performance to-day ?”" “Yes, pretty well. The wind was steadier to-day and our boat showed up much better than in Saturday’s flunky winds. I think she will behave splendidly in a blow and I beljeve we shall get more pace out of her yet.” - During the conversation Captain Syca- more came on deck from below and took a stand beside his colleague. He practi- cally corroborated the version of the accident given by Captain Cran- field and added: “The fault was in every way the Defender's. Why, after putting down her helm she continued to make deliberately for us. If that is the kind of tactics the American boat is going to indulge in I shall be glad when the races are over. I value my life more than 1doa yachtrace, and it was a close thing to-day that a bad collision did not occur.” Captain Sycamore was unable to say what the Valkyrie’s plans for to-morrow were. H. C. Leeds was the first man seen on the Defender when the Tribune man was rowed alongside. He was unwilling to tell the Defender's side of the story or describe the positions of the boats at the start, but said that the fouling pre- vented the American yacht from wearing her jibtopsail when going to windward and kept her from carrying her balloon jibtopsail on the starboard tack in the sec- ond leg of the race. “How do you think your misfortune affected the race, Mr. Leeds?” “Why, it lost it. We have the races sure enough if we are not interfered with.” Captain Haff came out fairly and said: “1 wanted to keep away from him (the Valkyrie), but he would not let me; he would persist in following me up ail the time in spite of all that I could do to keep out of his way. He bore right square off. He had the lightship to steer by and T kept right on by that. He got so close to it that he got rattlea. It wasall a piece of foolishness on his part. No, Iwas | not bothered much to-day by excursion- boats.” Just after the conversation with the | skippers Mr. Iselin came alongside in the naphtha launch. He declined to make day’s race for the America cup, will say to-morrow that, however slight the dam- age sustained by the American boat in be- ing fouled just before the starting-gun was fired, it was probably sufficient to affect the result of the contest. The Morning Post, which prints the re- port furnished by the Reuter Telegraph Company, will say that after Mr. Iselin had made a protest both yachts ignored the recall signal. It is clear, the Post will further say, that both boats were disquali- fied in failing to obey the committee's signal. The Daily News will say: It is evident that the Defender and the Valkyrie IIlare beautifully matched and that this fact promises to make the races between them interesting to the very end. The Daily Chronicle will say: We can- not consider the result of to-day’s race a clear win for the Valkyrie III. The paper admits also that the Defender is showing herself the better craft in both light and strong winds. The Times will say that Lord Dunraven and his countrymen will feel that a suc- cess which can plausibly be disputed is not the sort of victory that Britons love to win. The cup committee’s decision will be accepted loyally by the competitors and their countrymen. The Standard will say that the first two races have thrown very little light upon the respective merits of the yachts and the final resuit is still an open question. PRODUCED IN MINIATURE, San Franciscans Again Witnessed the International Cup Race Between ““The Call’s’’ Model Yachts. in San Francisco two miniature repro- ductions of the great race were attempted yesterday—one by Tue CALL and the other by the Examiner. One was success- ful, the other was not, and Tue Carn did not fail in what it had attempted. The knowledge that THE CaLn would enable San Franciscans to actually see the progress of the second great race in the America cup series caused an interested crowd to assemble before THE CALL'S busi- ness office, 710 Market street, long before the hour set for the start of the race. Allitems of information about the yachts and all the choice bits of news concerning wind and weather were repeated from mouth to mouth and an excited discussion ensued as to how the conditions prevailing would probabiy affect the result. In the midst of the discussion word came that the race was on and THE CALL's models appeared upon the miniature course above the big sign which truly states that Tu CALL speaks for all. The Valkyrie had crossed the line first, as usual, and every eye was watching to see whether or not she would maintain the lead thus obtained. As the hours passed on and the English boat was seen to in- crease her advantage, low-toned grum- blings were heard about *‘that fouling ac- cident,”” and the disadvantage the De- fender suffered in having to race with a new and untried topmast, of which the new stays would be continually slacken- ing. z Generally speaking, however, the crowd was a very quiet one. its members were patriotic, and in spite of the American love of fair play and the National admiration of a good close race they could not bring themselves to cheer the foreigner very beartily even when victorious, though they all acknowledged that the visitor was a noble craft and a worthy competitor. THE CaLr’s miniature race was a complete suc- cess. Up Market street from THE CaLL office, meanwhile, a very different scene was be- ing enacted. The Examiner had followed Tue Carv's lead and adopted THE CALL's idea, and tried to illustrate the race, but with poor success. An effort was made to drag models of sloops along wires across the street, but when four miles had been covered the boats fouled and stuck, re- maining in that position till two-thirds of the race had been sailed. Then the model on a telegraph wire. “The Defender will be beaten now sure,” remarked a natilical-looking spectator. “Why?” innocently queried a by- stander. “Because she sets too low in the water,"” was the reply. “How do you know that? What do you mean ?”’ “Well, she is so deep down that she has picked up the Atlantic cable!” was the re- joinder, and a laugh ensued. VERY QUICK WIRE WORK. How the Telegraph Companies Trans- mitted News of the Yacht Race to This City. In the transmission of the news of the vacht race yesterday, as well as of the opening contest last Baturday, the Western Union Telegraph Company showed to great advantage its marvelous facilities for the {ransmission of news. So complete were the arrangements for ‘‘repeating” and “relaying” the important details of this great international event, that within a minute after the copy was filed in New York, the entire matter was delivered at the business-office of THE CALL, in this City, 710 Market street. The Postal Telegraph Company also paid great attention to the work of transmit- ting this news, and was equally prompt in delivering its messages and bulletins to THE CALL. In ocder to secure the first_intelligence possible touching the progress of the race and its final result, THE CALL had a special wire stretched to the roof of its business- office, 710 Market street, where an operator was stationed for receiving the telegrams directly from the great overland system which spans the continent.

DENVER, Coro., Sept. 10.—In a jealous rage William Rose, a carpenter, left hia work, purchased a revolver and repaired to the home of Mrs. Phil Kuhn, on South Thirteenth street, this morning, deter- mined to compel her to live with him or else die with him. In the presence of her adopted child, upon her refusal to go with him, Rose fired four times as she was attempting to escape from the room, three bullets taking effect in her back. Rose left the house, but finding that a number of people were in pursuit, he turned the muzzle of the revolver to his throat and sent a bullet into his head. The woman was fatally injured, but Rose will recover. Both remained conscious, the woman remorseful and penitent, the man defiant. Rose left a family in Magina, Ohio, two years ago and came west to live a dissolute life, meeting Annie McEwen, called “Blonde Annie,”” with whom he associated.

Treasury Officials Expect Deposits From the Syndicate. WASHINGTON, D. C., Sept. 10.—Noth- ing official as far as ean be ascertained was received at the Treasury Department to- day from representatives of the Belmont- Morgan syndicate indicating whether or not they intend to make good the treasury depleted gold reserve. At the close of business to-day the reserve stood, all with- drawals deducted, at $97,544,666, or nearly $2,500,000 below what is usually regarded as the reserve limit. In ordinary opera- tions the treasury lost $16,000 ingold to- day owing to payments in S8an Francisco. A small withdrawal of gold at New York for export, $150,000, was also reported late in the afternoon. Treasury officials express no uneasiness over the declining gold re- serve, as they feel assured that the syndi- cate and the New York National banks will not permit it to fall below the limit of confidence. g PARDONED ONLX ONE.

DUPED BY THE THUG Mrs. Pitzel Told How She Was Treated by Holmes. SEARCH FOR CHILDREN. The Deluded Woman Led From City to City in a Vain Hunt. HOWARD'S CLOTHES IDENTIFIED One Murder at Least May Be Fas- tened Upon the Insurance Swindler, INDIANAPOLIS, Inn., Sept. 10.—Mrs. Pitzel and her daughter Dessa, the only child that escaped the clutches of H. H. Holmes, went before Coroner Carter this morning. Mrs. Pitzel, while looking upon the trinkets found in the chimney of the Irvington House, where little Howard Pitzel’s charred remains were found, went into hysterics and sobbed almost continu- ously during her testimony. She told of the disappearance of the three children from B8t. Louis Septemder 28, 1894, in company with Holmes, and of her travels to Indianapolis, Chicago, Toronto, Ogdens- burg, New York and Montreal searching for them, and stated that Holmes had said the children would join her as soon as she saw her husband. Mrs. Pitzel positively identified the tie, pin, shoes and buttons as those of little Howard, and when the murdered child’s overcoat was produced, her hysterical grief was pitiful to look upon. She identified the coat absolutely and an unexpected de- velopment was the fact that a button and & crochet hook were identified as being the property of Alice, the oldest girl, who was murdered in Toronto. The trunk was also identified. Dessa, the danghter, like- wise identified every article. Mrs. Pitzel's health secems completely shattered and again and again she had to be consoled while telling the awful details of Holmes’ perfily. The Coroner and the Prosecuting Attorney sought to find the motive which led Mrs. Pitzel to go at Holmes’ bidding from city to city. “Hetold me I would see my husband,” said Mrs. Pitzel, with a quiver in her voice. “He told me I would find Ben. First it was one thing and then another, to put me off. He would tell methat Ben had been drinking and I could not see him. In Toronto he gave as his excuse that some one had watched him when he rented a house and that it would not be safe for me to meet my, husband there.” “But as to the children, Mrs. Pitzel; where did you supvose they were all this time?” I thought they were in Indianapolis all the time,” she said. *'Oh, it seems that no one can understand,”” she said, the tears coming to her eyes, “until I always go back to the beginning. You see, when Mr. Pitzel and Holmes talked of this con- spiracy Ben told me about it, and I said I would be a party to no such thing. I told him that if he did I would take the children. You see, it was because I said this that Holmes kept the children, and said that I must see Ben before I took them back home with me. “My husband asked me to write a letter about the conspiracy, and I said that I would not do it. Finally he wrote and told me that if I would write the letter he would come back home to me. Oh, it was such a reliet so think that he would come back that I wrote the letter. It came out in Philadelphia afterward. That was the way I became involved in the conspiracy.” WAS A MARKED MAN. Murder of a Rancher Who Was Noted for Cattle-Stealing. LARAMIE, Wyo., Sept 10. —William Powell, a one-armed ranchman living on Horse Creek, was shot and instantly killed this morning by an unknown person. Powell had many times been before the courts for eattle-stealing, but he always es- caped conviction. This morning he left his ranch with his hired man to work in a hay field two miles distant. On the way his wagon broke down and the hired man was sent back to the ranchbouse for tools and material to repair the vehicle. The man had gone but a few hundred yards when the report of a rifle rang ont upon the air, and the hired man turning saw Powell fall from the wagon. Fearing that he himself was fated the frightened man hastened on to the ranch, where he met the mail-carrier just starting for Laramie, who brought the re- port of the murder. Bome time ago when a man named Lewis, reported to be a famous rustler, liv- ing in that country, was shot, Powell stated while in Laramie that he also was marke: to be killed, but that he was prepared for them, and it was known that he usually carried a gun, which he could use with :;ndly effect, being fearless and a good ot. e Redeeming Alabama Bonds.
