After the meeting C. S. Nicholson Kane an- nounced that next race would be as —fifteen miles to windward or leeward and a beat back. It seems that the agreement between | has Lipton and the Columbia’s | tes that where it 18 impos- Jle to finish a contest within the time | , the same class of race must be | continued until a decision Is reached. Consequently, before the two boats can meet on the three-leg beat it will be necessary to settle the capabilities of the two champlons on the straight- | run of fifteen knots. In conse- | ce of the quickly waning daylight iis time of the year, the regatta ttee to-day determined that the | would be made at 10:45 a. m., a of fifteen minutes from the t reviously fixed for the yachts going over the line. | The ending of Tuseds encounter | ded matertally to whet the in- terest of the yachting enthusiasm in the final outcome of the battle thht will | sce the cup still spiked to the deck, as | Captain Bob Evans terms it, or wrench- ed up and carted away to the country | which for so many years has been un- | successfully fighting for it The Columbia’s performance on Tues day generally regarded as proving r er boat of the two. The of opinfon Is that, given that is when there are no fluky winds, and no elements of at- mospheric luck to be calculated, the | American representative can both out- foot and outpoint the foreigner. It was | contended that while the Fife cregtion | T held her own in the erratic and paltry | breezes which marked the first race, an. | other tale will be told when the Colum- | bla has a chance to exhibit her particu- lar qualities of salling. It is asserted also that there Is nothing tangible in the conterition that the Emerald sloop | will prove stronger in a breeze than the defender. Tt was observable that the Shamrock kicked up much more fuss in the choppy sea than did the Columbia. and ll is inferred that when she does meet a blow she will thrash and make much worse weather of it than her competi- tor. However, when all is said and done, this decanting upon the superior- | ity of one boat over another is only so | much speculation. Generally speaking, | the first race, considering the eccentric conditions under which it was sailed, proved nothing and gave no more idea | | tween as | @ | cisco to Vv | inquest |silver was in his pockets.

SR Special Dispatch to The Call. RAFAEL, Oct. 4—The body d floating in the bay at Sausalito rday by the watchman of the boat San Rafael was identlfied afternoon at the Morgue by W. 8. Shoemaker that of Con O'Donnell, a well-to-do resident of this eity, who has been missing for about two weeks. From the circumstances connected with his death the authorities belleve the man to have been murdered. O'Don- nell owned considerable property here and was on the bonds of a town official. Two weeks ago he went to San Fran- it his cousin, John Farrell, a Mission-street coal dealer. After leaving®there he disappeared. As O'Donnell was in good health, had | and was of a | considerable property naturally cheerful disposition, the sui- cide theory is generally scouted. When he left here he is said to have had | quite a sum of money on his person, but at the time Coroner Eden held the | only $20 in gold and $4 60 in | WORK AT SAN PEDRO MAY BE STOPPED Captain Meyler Is Dissatisfled With the Quantity of Material Furnished. J.OS ANGELES, Oct. 4.—There |s danger that active operations upon the San Pedro breakwater may at an early day come 0 a temporary end. Captain J. J. Meyler, who is in charge of the work or behalf of the Governmaent, has notifiad the contractors that unless there at once decided impravement in the quantity of materlal furnished the contract will be abrogated and the bond of $200,000 furnished by Feldmeyer & Neu ot Chicago, when that firm obtained the contract, will be declared forfeited.

HASYOFAITI 1N BOARDS OF ARBITRATION |State Department May Ob- | ject to the Plan in the ; Alaskan Dispute. s LB Epecial Dispatch to The Call. CALL HE RTERS, WELLING- TON HOTEL, WASHINGTON, Oct. 4. The result of the arbitration of the Ven- | ezuelan boundary will have an effect upon the dispute with regard to the Alaskan | boundary. There will be less disposition | | on the part of the United States to sub- mit to arbitration the establishing of the line between Alaska and British Colum- bia than there has been hitherto, for the work of the Venezuelan Commission amply confirms what the State Depart- ment has always maintained about the futllity of gettng rigidly just decisions from boards of arbitration in boundary dispute | “Tis “claimed from the reports which come from Paris and from a study of the map that the Ven fon, ter the manner of a © commis- sions, simply split the Giftérence and gave to each of cohtestants, as near as might_be, of what was in dispute. That the action of the commission was urianimous does not make it any more that the decision was based on & welghing of the claims and It only goes to show that a board, made up as was the Paris board, is a | most certain arrive at the e est ar- rangement w h promises to settle the controversy without creating enough dis- satisfaction on either side to upset the settlement, and while the State Depart- ment here s pleased that If any such de- cision was to be made it should be an- nounced without a dissenting voice, thers is a disposition to question the absolute stice of the conclusfon. A high official In the department said this afternoon that the United States could not afford to have the Alaskan con- | troversy treated in this way. It would be absurd in view of the treaties with his | and with the mats in old carrespondence to permit a kind of board to ‘“‘split the dlf!wr:xn(-v” | as to reach an agreement. The only que tion which the United States could agree to submit to a board of arbitration would be the proper interpretation of the lan- guage of the treaties to see whether the n_ contention as to their plain meaning Is correct. We can never con- gent to allow a neutral board to fix metes and bounds. | JUSTICE BREWER NOT 1 ENTIRELY SATISFIED PARIS, Oct. 4.—A representative of the | Assoclated Press this evening had a con- | versation with Justice Brewer of the United States Supreme Court regarding the award of the Anglo-Venezuelan arbi- tration tribunal, from which it appears that the deliberations of the court did not proceed as smoothly and with the spontaneous unanimity which a perusal of the award would lead one to belleve. Justice Brewer, in reply to a question, said: “Until the last moment I believed a decision would be quite impossible, and it was by the greatest concentration and mutual concessions that a compromise was arrived at. If any of us had been | asked to have ziven an award each would have given one differing in extent and The consequence of this w: had to adjust our different vie: ily to draw a line running between ‘hdl each thought right.” ng asked whether political flrm[nna influenced that award, the Jus- tice said he could not admit that, as such ‘an admission would reflect on the Judges, | but there was no doubt that the present | Insurrection in Venezuela dnfl the conse- | quent feeling of instability weighed to a | Gertain extent in the balance, In reply to an inquiry as to what ques- the Judges, Justice Brewer said: “Nearly every point. In the first place, European lawyers don't look upon the question of prior rights re- sulting from rights of discovery in the me way as we do. Then the question of the nature of control and the extent of J | | E \ of our inwrpr»t.uiuns torical precedence diplo- 1y s consid- tions separated At every point Wlelands Extra Pale | is fortified against the modern tendency to lower quality that the price may be cheap- ened. By the aid of sci- ence and modern methods we are en- abled to use the best materials, and the most skilled labor. The product is a beer that sells on its merit. the influence and relationship with the native races and many such matters are not viewed in the same manner on either side of the Atlantic. In fact, the whole situation is not so keenly appreclmed by Europeans as it is by Americans.” Replying to a query regarding the de- I!beratlonq within the court, Mr. Brewer said that there was, properly speaking, no casklng of votes. Bach Judge conceded something in turn. With regard to the proceedings in_open court, he said the earing of arguments might have been considerably curtajled, had the case been heard exclusively by either an English or an American ‘court, but the Judges thought it prudent to allow counsel full liberty in order to make matters clearer to the President who, after all, was not a lawyer. Asked whether, according to his own opinion, Venezuela was entitled to more than she actually received, Justice Brewer, after some hesitation, shrugged his shoulders and sald he would rather 8 nothing on that subject and concluded by remarking that, whatever these two parties might think of the award, Vene- zuela received Barima Point, which gives her full control of the interior of her ter- ritory and England is confirmed in the sion of territory in the development hich she has spent considerable money and energy, but ‘“the principal lessing is that the two nations can at last develop peacefully side by slde, large tracts of territory, which, owing to the previous antagonism, havé remained un- productive.” RECEIVER WANTED FOR ESTEE'S PROPERTY Sacramento Bank Holds Heavy Mort- gages on His Vineyard in Napa County.
