THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 14, 1895. OFFERED A NEW CUP, But Dunraven Refuses to Race for Honors. or Money. RETURNS TO SCOTLAND.| Valkyrie 111 Being Dismantled and Made Ready for the Cruise. ISELIN WILLING TO0 GAMBLE. Ready to Enter the Defender for a Contest in Any Water for a Big Wager. v YOR . Y., Sept. 13.—The At- lantic Yacht Club proposes to offer a cup of the value of at least $1000 to be sailed for by the two crack single-stickers—Defender and Valkyrie. The cup may be sailed for in a single race or in three races, as Lord Dunraven may elect, the race or races to be sailed under the rules and regulations of the New York, Atlantic or Larchmont Yacht Club, as he may decide. Lord Dunraven also will be allowed to select the water in which the races are to be sailed, the only limitation being that they be sailed between Sandy Hook and Marblehead. The location may be kept secret, except, of course, to those who are directly interested in the boats, snd to the regatta committee of the club which may be selected as the one whose rules will govern the race. The limit of time within which theraces must be sailed will be fixed on October 1. The members of the Atlantic Yacht Club are enthusiastic believers in the ability of the Defender to outsail anything ever built in her class, and some of these men are willing to make up a purse of from $5000 to $2000 and bet that the American boat will win the cup. Lord Dunraven, however, has quit for good. The Valkyrie will be stripped of her racing rig and sent back to Scotland at once.- Lord Dunraven and his two daughters will go to Colorado and other points West on a . pleasure trip, and will then return to England. The Valkyrie, in tow, arrived in Erie basin shortly before 10 o'clock, and was warped in between the steamship George W. Clyde and the ship Carnehill. Her sailors were put to work at once stripping her. By noon the topmast and much of the tophamper had been removed. Lord Dunraven was not present. Mr. Glennie, his representative, said that the Valky- rie would start on her homeward voyage as soon as she could get in trim. The Evening Sun to-uight publishes the following: C. Oliver Iselin expressed his willingness last night to race the Defender agai Valkyrie in American waters for §. side. He said to several prominent yachts- men: “I will not race Lord Dunraven, but I will race boat against boat. Any yacht course on the Atlantic Coast will suit me. The distance and number of races are immaterial. I will race for $5000 a side as many times as the owners of the Valkyrie | wish to race. The courses and the dis- tance of the races I leave to them to se- lect.” Iselin, as the representative of the De- fender syndicate, received an official noti- fication by letter this afternoon from the America cup committee that the De- fender was the winner of three inter- national yacht races, sailed off Sandy Hook lightship, and, that in consequence, the America cup will remain in the posses- sion of the New York Yacht Club. A letter was also sent to Lord Dunraven notifying him that the series of the inter- national races for the America cup was ended, b g DUNRAVEN’'S COURSE UPHELD. Englishmen Hope, However, That He Will Consent to Race. LONDON, Exg., Sept. 13. — The feeling throughout England over the failure of the match between Valkyrie III and the Defender, though embodying many shades of opinion, generally upholds Lord Dun- raven, who is considered to bave just cause for abandoning yesterday’s race. The vpinion most generally held is that he was beset with difficulties especially abhorred by him, though in some quarters it is thought he was possibly hasty. Know- ing Lord Dunraven’s temper, those hold- ing this yiew Lope that he will be willing to arrauge for contests between his boat and the Defender over some other course than the one off Sandy Hook and espe cially that he will consent to re-sail last Thursday’s race, which was given to the Defender by the cup committee. United States Embassador Bayard, in an interview about yesterday’s fiasco, said to- day: “I deplore the inconclusiveness of the contest, but I have abiding confidence in the integrity of the committee and don’t believe that there was any lapse on their part of the slightest nature. The conspic- uous American characteristics, generosity and fairness, have always been displayed, and I am unwilling to think that there are grounds for any criticism of the sports- manlike qualities of Americans. 1 trust that Lord Dunraven will reconsider his decision and accept Mr. Iselin’s offer to re- sail Thursday’s race. I recognize the di culty in maintaining a clear course off Sandy Hook in view of the present en- thusiasm and general desire to see the races. Gratification of this desire is only possible by accompanying the racerson a steamer.” BITTEN THE TONGUE. A Snake-Charmer Fatally Poisoned by a Rattler. CENTREVILLE, Iowa, Sept. 13.—While exhibiting some rattle and black snakes at the county fair in this city this morn- ing, William Primmer, a snake-charmer, | was bitten by a rattler in the tongue. | He died late this evening. Prim- | mer was a new hand at the business and | had failed to have the venomous fangs of | the reptile removed, and when he fearless] put the head of the rattler in his mont: the animal buried its poisonous fangsin his tongue. Within thirty minutes Primmer’s tongue and throat were swollen | so large that tracheotomy was necessary | to allaw respiration, but death finally | ensued. g AN ORDER OF FORECLOSURE. | The Kansas City and Independence Rail- | way to Be Sold at Auotion. KANSAS CITY, Mo., Sept. 13.—In Judge Scarritt’s court, at Independence, Mo., this morning, a decree of foreclosure was | given in the of the Central Trust Com- pany of New York against the Kansas City and Independence Rapid Transit Railway Company, and the property will be disposed of at auction by Herman Brumback, who was appointed special master in chancery in the case. The mortgage calls for $901,- | 44424 and was secured by bonds issued May 4, 1889, which were to tun twenty vears, but default having been made in payments of interest the foreclosure fol- lowed. The bonds are held by the Metro- }voli:nn Street Railway Company and the Rapid Transit Company, which was re- cently changed into an electric line. The action of to-day will have the effect of giving the Metropolitan Street Railway Company a clear title to the old dummy line. S=svge Pranks of the Lightening. SPRINGFIELD, Omio, Sept. 13.—Dur- ing the storm last night Miss Minerva Smith was struck by lightning. She was knocked unconscious and badly burned. Mrs. Ed Alexander was literally para- lyzed, while Miss Carlisle of Cincinnati, a visitor, was shocked. The Misses Thomp- son were knocked off their chairs. Mrs. ia Congdon was also rendered uncon- scious. There was a brilliant pyrotechnic display. A ball of fire seemed to strike the wall near Center and Kiser streets and burst with an explosion like a cannon- shot. Pecple in the neighborhood were affected by the shock SEmoty At No Time in Danger.

KEIR HARDIE MET WAITE Another English Agitator Finds Only Disappointment in Colorado. Accused by the Ex-Governor of Stealing Thunder From the Populist Party. DENVER, Coro., Sept. 13.—Keir Hardie left Denver for Pueblo to-day, disap- pointed at his reception in this city. His meeting last night was not a financial suc- , only $18 being raised in the volun- y collection. Ex-Governor Waite at- tended and he took occasion to dispute some of Hardie's statements, just as he did some of the conclusions drawn by John Burns whén he visited Colarado. ‘Waite took offense at a locally published interview, in which Hardie declared the Populist party a fraud, and when Hardie last evening had finished his address the audience called for Waite to speak. “We've got just such a society in America now,” he began, ‘‘as these men | have been talking to you about to-night. | There is a good, healthy, living specimen of socialism among us that will not allow one of its members to go hungry. That specimen of socialism is the Mormon church.” Loud cries of “That’s so, Governor,” “That's the truth, old man,” arose from the delighted auditors. Something like a look of despair settled on the face of J. Keir Hardie and on the face of his com- panion Frank Smith. They appeared to realize that their thunder was being stolen | in an astonishing way. “If [ were going to join any church,” resumed Governor Waite, when the tumult had subsided, “I would join the Mormon church—the Joe Smith wing of it. The Joe Smith wing don’t preach polygamy, and that suits me. One woman is alla man needs or ought to have, and some- times one is one too many.” Then he de- fended the Populist party and declared that the socialists had stolen most of their thunder from that party. ‘When he sat down Hardie arose to say that he knew but little of the Populist party, but were he an American he could never join such a party. He did not think it amounted to much and he was certain its best ideas were taken from socialistic sources. The audience cheered both speakers aud seemed to hugely enjoy the discomfiture of the visitors from England. Hardie spoke in Pueblo to-night and goes thence to San Francisco. IR A Very Hot Weather. KANSAS CITY, Mo., Sept. 13.—Kansas | City sweltered to-day in the nottest day of the year. After an oppressive night the mercury rose in response to the fierce rays of the sun, until at noon it registered 91 degrees and at 3 o’clock the signal office recorded 94 degrees. Thermometers on the streets showed a temperature of 100. Suffering among outdoor workmen bas been intense, but only two prostra- tions were recorded. Two years ago to-day the thermometer registered 101.4, but the humidity to-duay made it appear warmer than that day, which was the hottest ever known here in September. DENVER, Coro., Sept. 13.—This was the hottest day of the season, the thermometer registering 96 in the shade. L Four Bankers Arrested. DENVER, Coro., Sept. 13.—J. L. Mec- Neil, president; William N. Byers, vice- | president; J. B. Lozier, cashier, and R. W. | Woodbury, director, of the recently de- | funct Union National Bank were arrested to-day on complaint of a depositor, who charges them with accepting draits when they knew the bank was insolvent. They gave bonds. R A Fire in Muir Tunnel. LIVINGSTON, Moxsr., Sept. 13.—Fire was discovered to-day in Muir tunnel, east of here. It has been closed and trattic is delayed in consequence.

WCES T SICRAMENT Two Nose-and-Nose Finishes Delight a Crowd of Spectators. A Hard Struggle Between Navy Blue, Goldbug and Miss Buckley. SACRAMENTO, Can.,, Sept. 13.—Joy was once again depicted on the faces of racegoers to-day. On arising this morning | they found a bright sun beaming down upon | them, while here and there a scattering mad-puddle marked all that remained of the rainstorm. This was the eleventh day of the meet- ing, with but one more day of the sport to come, and lovers of racing turned out in large numbers, the grand stand being crowded with the fair sex and their escorts. In the opening race, a selling dash for two-year-olds, five and a half furlongs, with four starters, Burns and Waterhouse enterdd Palomacita, the sister to Armitage, for a meager $200, many, many times be- low her real vaiue, and, going to the post a1to 4 chance, won hands down in 1:09}¢ from Easel, who showed a world of speed. Josephine took the short end of the purse, Nine well-classed selling platers went to the post in the next race, a six furlongs selling affair, with Morven the post fa- vorite at 8 to 5. Miss Buckley, Gold Bug and Foremost were the most fancied of the others and received strong support in the rine. Rosebud, a racy looking Tyrant leading into the stretch, with the favorite and Navy Blue at her heels. ' Navy Blue, with a feather on his back, soon headed the bunch and lookedsto have the race up his sleeve, when Gold Bug and Miss Buckley closed on him and the trio Pnssed the judges heads apart, Miss Buck- ey getting the decision and Gold Bug securing the place. The winner wasridden by Tod Sloane, whose work at the meeting has been of a brilliant character. The two-year-old handicap was third on the card and demonstrated the fact that either Grady is a colt that does not like weight or else Sloane gave him a very poor ride on Thursday, when he carried 118 pounds, and was beaten by Belle Boyd Wwith 105 in the saddle. To-day he picked up 114 pounds, and startinga 6t05 choice, he won with such ease after letting the mare who carried 107 pounds run out in front, that there is but one conclusion; Grady had an off day Thursday. There ‘was a deal of figuring over the outcome of the fourth race, another six- furlong selling event. Rose Clark reigned favorite for a while, but finally gave way to Bernardo, who went to the post 9 to 5, while the Prince of Norfolk_mare receded from 7 to0 5 to twos. Silver State, the third choice, carried a barrel of coin on her chances, and lke L was also strongly backed. % It ended in another nose and nose finish, of which this meeting has had so many. Silver State led the field to the bend for home, where Ike L, Rose Clark and Bernardo rapidly began closing on her. The leader soon had enough, and Bernardo and Rose Clark fought the issue out, the former catching the judges’ eye by the scantiest of nosesin 1:15}¢. Duchess of Towers, a 15 to 1 shot, who got away from the posta bad last, made a phenomenal run through the stretch, and, coming on the outside, was but a head back back of the leaders as they flashed passed the winning post. The last race of the day, a mile and three-quarters, over hurdles, was taken very handily by the even-money favorite, hs[vgrance, backed down from 8 to 5.

It Is Thought Walter Camp Has Agreed to Come West, STANFORD UNIVERSITY, CarL., Sept. 13.—The athletic committes met to-day and heard the football manager’s report on the feasibility and expense of a new *‘gridiron’’ to be used during the coming season’s games. It was decided to uge the outfield of the baseball grounds, which can be fitted up at little expense and is favorably situated for work during the rainy season. The players are getting out in a very encouraging manner thus far. Under the coaching of Captain Cochran this evening there was an hour’s work done in punting. Hereafter for a week or ‘more there will field work—kicking, falling on the ball, etc. This practice will be given Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays. On Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays all the work will be in the gymnasium, under the eye of the trainer. "In this way the men will be in good shape when the coach arrives. From the satisfiea demeanor of Manager Eaton and Captain Cochran there is no doubt that the *‘ccach” question has been settled satisfactorily to those gentlemen. Manager Eaton says that the only reason for not aking the new coach’s name ofllchlflapu lic is the coach’s own desire that it be kept quiet uhtil he is will- ing to’hnve it made public. This is Mr. Camp’s usual way, and it will undoubted- ly prove to be that gentleman when the name is announced, a3 was first stated in THE CALL. Soldiers Accidentally Shot.

Close of the Encamp- ment With a Bril- liant Ball. EIGHT THOUSAND THERE An Appeal to the People in Reference to the Pruning of Pensions. DECREASES WERE DENOUNCED. Resolutions of Interest to Grand Army Men Adopted During the Closing Sesslon. LOUISVILLE, Ky., Sept. 13.—At 10 o'clock to-night when the bugle was sounded for the grand march of one of the most brilliant balls ever givén in the South the Grand Army encampment of '95 passed into history. Eight thousand of the lead- ing citizens of Louisville and visitors from abroad participated in the function, and the array of beautiful women and gorgeous toilets combined to create an entrancing scene. General Lawlerand Mrs. john A. Lo- £an and ex-Governor Simon Buckner and Mrs. Wallace of Chicago gave a reception to the encampment othcials and delegates while the festivities were 1n progress. The exodus of visitors was on in earnest all day, but tens of thousands whose faces are turned toward Chattanooga and Chicka- mauga will remain over until Saturday and Sunday. In every respect the encamp- ment has been an overwhelming succes. ‘When the delegates assembled to-day several hundred failed to respond to the rollcall and the absentees were roundly scored by General Lawler, who objected to the drudgery of the work being left for a few. The report of the committee on pen- sions, composed of one representative from each State and Territory, was listened to with profound attention. In part it was as follows: The representatives of the people, in Con- gress assembled, recognizing the deep senti- ment of gratitude which. justly pervades the entire community, solemnly declared by ap- propriate legisiation that a pension once granted upon acceptable and accepted evidence constituted a vested right, of which the pos- sessor could not be deprived except by due process of law, and we insist that this statutory and patriotic provision be carried out with the utmost good faith, to correspond with the high character of the obligation recognized and owing. No Nation that is unmindful of its duties to its defenders can expect that hearty, ungrudging loyalty which is the pride and glory of the American soldier; and we demand for our comrades that just treatment which the country gladly concedes. No niggardly cutting down of pensions under the guise of re-issues; no partial and grudging allowances that cut here and pare there, with the full measure due that the country owes to its surviving heroes. Nothing short of full measure dealt withan honest hand and liberal heart will ever meet with the approbation of the American people, and for this we confidently ful, patriotic sentiment of , and earnestly believe that our appeal will not be in vain. Receding from no position heretofore taken, reaflirming all our previous declarations on tl> subject, we specially demand a liberal and just construc- tion of the 1aws passed for the benefit of the pensioner, to the end that his declining years may not be harassed with doubts born of dis- trust, or the difficulties thrown around him by & rigorous and restricted construction of laws passed in the effort to relieve his necessities. Comrade Semple of Pennsylyania de- clared that the report did not go far enough. The encampment should demand the restoration of every veteran dropped from the rolls, with the pavment to him of every dollar of which he had been unlaw- fully deprivéd. This sentiment was cheered, but the report was unanimously adopted. There was a spirited debate over a reso- lution submitted by the Department of the Potomac, praying Congress to passa law imposing a penalty for the violation of the veterans’ pension law. The committee reported against the reso- lution, but General Adams of Massachu- setts, General Anderson of Washington, Corporal Tanner of New York and Town- send of Ohio made forcible speeches in its behalf. The opposition contended that it was proposed to ask for such legislation as had already been bragded as class legis- lation and therefore nuliand void. A ballot was demanded and the com- mittee was defeated, the resolution being adopted by a large majority. A batch of resolutions went through with little dis- cussion. One declared against civil sery- ice discriminations against veterans on account of age. Another favored an in- crease of the present pensions allowed to the widows of ex-soldiers and sailors to the uniform figure of $12. Still another condemned the violation of section 1754, Revised Statutes, by the removal of vet- erans in Government employ. The proposal to establish a military park at Vicksburg, Miss., was approved, and also a resolution declaring that the stars and stripes should float from every school- bouse. The encampment voted in favor of a celebration of the organization of the Grand Army Post. A resolution demand- ing an amendment to the interstate com- merce laws probibiting railroads from making discriminations in the matter of rates against veterans to future encamp- ments, and another indorsing the project for the establishment of a national univer- sity of patriotism was reported upon ad- versely by the committee, and its action was sustained. A resolution on Memorial day which was an indirect reference to the dedication of the Confederate monument at Chicago last May caused considerable dlscussion. The resolution was intended to condemn the desecration of what was termed the most sacred aay of the year to G. A. R. men, and this excited much unfavorable expression of opinion. One delegate pointed to what Mr. Watterson said yes- terday, that both the Confederate and Federal dead were comrades on'the other side of the dark river now, and insisted that it was not appropriate for the en- campment to notice the Chicago incident. The resolution was ultimately withdrawn, The matter of admitting into the G. A. R. the members of the order of Sons of Veterans was reported favorably by the committee. This subject has repeatedly come up before encampments and at this one as at the others it met with much op- position. The discussion of the resolu- tion showed so much opposition to it that in order mnot to kill it entirely its supporters succeeded in havin, it refegred to the committee on rules a,ng reguldtions, to be reported upon at the thirtieth National encampment at St. Paul. After this action had been taken an effort was made to reconsider the vote, with a view to defeating the measure finally and for all time, but this effort failed. An adverse report was rendered on the Pproposition to establish permanent head- quarters for the organization, but in favor of accepting an offer to store the archives in the Independence Hall, Philadelphia. This completed the work on the report of the committee on resolutions. The report of the committee on rules and regulations was then taken up. It contained recommendations for but few changes in the present laws of the order. The most important change advised by the committee and adopted by the encamp= ment was with reference to the rights of past commanders. Heretofore they have not been entitled to a vote in the encamp- ment. It ‘was decided to make them permanent members of the encampment and bestow upon them all privileges of delegates. The list of officers for the ensuing year was completed by the selection of J. B. Whiting of Wis- consin as surgeon-general and T. C. Cliff of Utah as chaplain. Then the depart- ments announced their memorial for the council of administration, the commander- in-chief-elect, General Waller of Indianap- olis, and his associates were installed, and at 2:30 o’clock the encampment adjourned sine die. e WOMEN ARE PATRIOTIC.

OBBLED UP BY BRITONS Lord Dunraven Among Those to Acquire Picturesque Lands in Colorado. Much of the Property Has Reverted Back to Americans, However, by Tax Sales. DENVER, Coro., Sevt. 13.—Settlers in Estes Park are indulging in considerable speculation over the object of Lord Dun- raven’s visit to Colorado. He is said to possess a vast tract of land in that pictur- esque mountain-girt valley, whose beauty was early recognized by Englishmen. Many hunting parties from England vis- ited the park. In 1870 nearly all the land was taken up by men employed by the English, and in the course of a few months following almost the entire tract was found to be in the names of titled Enzlishmen, much of it credited to the Earlof Dun- raven. There was a wild lot. of Englishmen roaming over the park lands at this time, one,, known as Lord Haight, by some means acquiring the enmity of many of the se\t]ers. Wild times were allezed tp have jappened at the cabin where this Lord/fived, and many are the stories yet related of his escapades. The land which was placed in the name of the Englishmen and had been known largely as the estate of ‘‘the English com- pany” has much of it reverted back to tlie State through tax sales, and is now in the bands of American citizens. The final ad- justment of surveys showed errors of loca- tion, and through this much good land went to actual settlers. The English col- ony in the park has thinned out, but is still a large factor. There remain three or four large ‘‘estates,’” as they may be called, comprising some of the most valu- able land of the park. Many times suits have been threatened against the holders of the property to destroy the title. Atthe time the irregular entries were discovered the publication undoubtedly saved thou- sands of acres to the public, but on those lends to which title had already been given no action was taken. —_— Baseball-Players Injared.

CHICAGO, ILL., Sept. 13.—Charges have been made against the County Insane Asy- lum employes in the case of David Adam, an old patient who aied September 4, it is alleged, from the brutal and neglectful treatment of attendants.
