Declares He 8till Hopes to See Trophy on the Other Side. — Many Noted Men Are Present at the Dinner Tendered the Yachts- man at the Waldorf- Astoria. SR NEW YORK, Bept. 4.—Sir Thomas Lip- ton was the guest of honor of the Pil. 8rims of the United States at a dinner glven in his honor to-night at the Wal- dorf-Astoria. Nearly one hundred and | ity men prominent in many walks of life were present. Sir Thomas arrived at 7:40 and for half an hour received his friends. Then Sir Thomas, escorted by George T. Wilson, led the way from the reception- room to the tables. At either end of the | hall was hung Sir Thomas' private em- blem, the shamrock, on a fleld of yellow, surrounded by a green border, while above the guest's table were draped the flags | of Great Britain and the United States. Bunches of red roses on each table and green on the walls completed the decora- tions. Surmounting the menus, which bore the flags of 8ir Thomas and the Royal Ulster Yacht Club, was a cardboard yacht which bore no name. -In order to enliven matters somewhat At the outset the guests sang a little of “Mr. Dooley,” which told of the virtues of Sir Thomas and his enduring efforts to lift the cup. There had been arranged no formal | | speeches, but the following were called upon: George T. Wilson, Sir Thomas Lipton, General Joseph Wheeler, ex-Governor C. 8. Thomas of Colorado, General H. C. Corbin, Colonel Senator A. E. Bate. FAMOUS MEN AT TABLE. With Sir Thomas at the guest’s table sat the Earl of Shaftesbury, commodore of the Royal Ulster Yacht Club; Colonel Sherman-Crawford, vice commodore of the Royal Ulster Yacht Club; Commodore F. G. Bourne, William Fife, Rear Ad- miral Rodgers, Henry Watterson, General Joseph Wheeler, George T. Wiison and ex-Governor Thomas. Wilson presided at the dinner in the ab- sence of Bishop Potter, the president of the soclety. When the ices were served a procession of waiters marched In to a popular air, bearing trays crowned with gilded harps, full rigged models of Relfange and Sham- rock, and easels with figureS of yachts. Later women began to appear in the boxes, among them being the Countess of Shaftesbury and many ladies who have | béen Bir Thomas' guests on board the Erin Wilson, addressing Sir Thomas, sald that his attitude had struck a responsive chord in every heart. “As a loser,” sald he, “you are a corker. You will ever have the admiration, love and regard of all Americans.” Sir Thomas was given many hearty rounds of cheers when he arose. He safd: We are all more or less pilgrims here to- night, and I would like to_feel that I am not a etranger among you. Many of my best Americon friends are Pilgrims, and I regard it as a great honor to be your guest, As regards the cup races, we have been America on having the better boat. I wish for the courteousness and kindness shown me by the New York Yacht Club.

ALMOST WITHIN GRASP. 1 am beginning to think that there is some magic spell about the bloomin’ old cup.

It re- minds me of the story of the Irishman who was asked If he could play the fiddle. don’t know,'’ said he, “I've never tried it. have tried it and tried it again without su cess_but my motto has been *‘Try, try again. Although I have been without success each time I nave tried, I do not despair that some day we shall succeed in capturing that fa- mous trophy. although I must confess that ‘We appear now to be more than a little bit astern. Herreshoff is the greatest designer of the age, but 1 am still very hopeful that I will see ‘that cup on the other side yet. America is a very hard country to beat and I know it. I am a very disappointed man, but there Is no other course T 1 still I have the consolation that both con- queror and conquered beiong to the same good old race. The cup is still in the family, only it is held by a younger and more go-ahead generation. Gentlemen, while I lost the cup, or, rather, did not succeed in winning it, I have not lost the esteem and good will of my American friends, which esteem and good will I recip- rocate in the very highest degree possible. A Breat consolation to me in my unsuccessful effort to lift the cup is the great kindness £hown me by all classes. My feeling of grati- tude for this epirit is great beyond expression. I shall bear in mind the remembraice of your kindly acts for all time. I am sure that as the days and years roil by these contests will not have been held in vain if they make us Tealize that wherever we are, all the world over, we shall “‘brothers be for a' that.” ——————— FUGITIVE FROM MEXICO BREAKS DOWN IN PRISON Rafael Flores, Arrested at Los An- geles, Confesses to Murder of Miguel Rivas. ~ LOS ANGELES, Sept. 4—Rafael Flores, Wwho has been in jail here for two weeks as a fugitive from Mexican justice, con- fessed to-day that he is a murderer and that he is wanted in the State of Chi: huahua. An‘hour after his confession the Chief of Police received a telegram from the City of Mexico asking that the pris- oner be held and stating that proceedings had been instituted through the State Department for Flores' extradition. Flores says he is willing to return to Mexico without the formality of extra- dition, but despite his willingness the Mexican Government will proceed so that he will have no choice in the matter and w.i’ll not be able to change his mind en route. The murder to which Flores has con- fessed was committed in Parral, Chihua- hua, his victim being Miguel Rivas. The two men had been paying court to the same young woman and Rivas won he; One night Flores slipped up behind Rivas and shot him in the back of the with a revolver. He then fled to fornia. He was seen on the streets here by a brother of the dead man and pointed out to a patrolman, who arrested him, Until to-day he stoutly maintained his innocence. . ————— O — Fire Destroys Dvenik.

Situation Becomes Very Critical Be- cause of Many Complications. LONDON, Sept. 5.—The situation is crit- ical for the Bulgarian Government, tele- graphs the Sofia correspondent of the Times, not only on account of Macedonia, but also because of the internal political complications, The Vienna correspondent of the Times reports that in various competent quar- ters the danger of a Turko-Bulgarian con- flict is reported to be graver at the pres- ent moment than at any previous junc- ture. It is believed in Vienna, he adds, that If war breaks out it will be less on account of Bulgarian sympathy with the Macedonians than because the Bulgarians fear the untoward consequences to their own country of the return en masse of the desperate disappointed insurgent lead- ers who would swamp Bulgarian public m—fi:e increasingly threatening aspect of affairs in the Balkans serfously affects all the European capitals. What is to be done fn Macedonia is anxlously discussed on all sides. The censorship is active at present, for the only news thus far of the landing of marines emanated from Wash- ington. The subject is not mentioned in any Constantinople dispatches received here. According to these dispatches, although it is considered certain that the destruc- tion of the Hungarian steamer Vaskapu, in the Black Sea, was the work of the in- surgents, the intention to kill Hungarian subjects may provoke Austrian interven- tion, The Austrian Embassy at Constantino- ple, in the absence of convineing proofs, has not vet taken action. The police in | the meantime are arresting Bulgarians in all parts of Constantinople and wild ru- mors are afloat of other projected out- rages. The Boerse is panic-stricken be- cauge of the fears of war. Most actlve military preparations by the Turkish Government are proceeding and Turkish officers are talking of their ability to reach Sofia within three weeks from the outbreak of war. Dispatches from Sofia from Vienna as- sert that the war party in Bulgaria is gaining ground. The semi-official Dnev- nik s preaching a war and has revealed the existence of an alleged Russo-Bulga- rian treaty of alliance signed by Dr. Da- nieff and General Paprikoff, lately Bul- garian Premier and Minister of War, re- spectively. On the other hand, showing the diffi- culty of arriving at an accurate estimate of the real condition Of affairs, the Sofla correspondent of Daily Telegraph de- clares that Bulgaria's aversion to war is insuperable on military and political grounds. He asscrts that the Bulgarian Government is resolved to sedulously avold everything calculated to lead to hostilities, first on account of the Austro- Russian opposition, and, second, because the army is totally unprepared for war. Prince Ferdinand is.devoting his efforts to staving off a decision, hoping that the powers, for their own safety, will arrange for a European control of Macedonia and the restoration of peace.

The report circulated by a news agency September 1 in the United States that a balloon' bomb nad been found near the palace is utterly without foundation. Turkish official reports indicate the compiete success of the military ¢pera- tions against the insurgents in the|\Klis- sura district. Over 400 insurgents are said to have been killed. The agent here of the Hungarian Levant steamship line has gope to Burgas to investigate the three Plosions which occurred Wednesday on the Austrian steamer Vaskapu soon after that vessel had left the port of Burgas on her way to Constantinople, resulting in the death of twenty-nine persons. The cause of the explosion is still in doubt. It is now said that the assistant con- ductor of the sleeping car was the author of the bomb outrage august 27, when the daily express from Budapest was blown ADVERTISEMENTS. BSOLUTE Geouine CARTER'S LITTLE missionaries altogether. The lafter course is natually impossible and the sending of a squadron " has great signiiicance as showing a determination on the part of America to take an active part in the Turkish question. ““One result of this step will probably be to induce the Sultan to raise his rep- resentative at Washington to the rank of Embassador, so that the United States can be equally represented here. At pres- ent America is at a decided disadvantage in this respect, compared with the other first-class powers. “Nobody can quite foresee the ultimate attitude of the United States, but it Is almost certain that her weight will in- cline on the side of the Christian against the Turk. At the of importance to Great Britain, America is almost bound to oppose the descent of Russia on the Dardanelles, because, in religious matters, the Turk is more tol- erant than the Russian.” —_— DEAD NUMBER HUNDREDS.

LONDON, Sept. 4.—No British marines have been landed at Constantinople so far as the Forelgn Office is aware, but it Is said if the embassy requires protec- tion, the Embassador is empowered to call upon the commander of the British guardship for guards. The Foreign Office considers it proba- ble that Russia and Austria have landed marines to protect their embassies, as a result of the Porte's note to the Embassa- | dors warning them tHat Bulgarian agita- tors were projecting outrages against the | embassies, legations and public bulldings at Constantinople. So far as the Foreign Office knows, Constantinople is quiet. AR Minister of Finance Drowns. SOFIA, Sept. 4.—M. Manchieff, the Min- ister of Finance, was drowned to-day while bathing in the Varna. gling Mrs. Margaret Gerahn, a white woman, in her home at Armourdale, | Kans., a suburb, this afternoon, escaped | to the Kansas River, where he drowned | himself rather than run the chances of | being lynched, a crowd having chased | him to the bank of the stream. The wom- an was seriously hurt, but will recover. | Mrs. Gerahn is a widow 45 years of age. Her husband, wio was a packing-house | employe, and her son were drowned in| the great June flood and she lived alone. | The negro, aged about 30, called at the | house about noon and, entering stealth- | ily, locked himself in. He surprised Mrs. Gerahn at her work and demanded her | money. When she insisted that there | was none about the house the negro | threatened to kill her and, seizing her | by the throat, -began choking her. She | became unconscious and he locked her in a closet. When she .had revived he dragged her from the closet and upon her persistent | refusal to tell him where she kept the money the negro repeatedly choked her. Neighboring women broke into the house | after Mrs. Gerahn had been in the power of the negro for three hours and found him standing over the prostrate woman sinking his fingers into her throat. The negro hurried from the house and ran to the Kansas River, two blocks dis- tant, where he hired a boat and ordered the owner to row quickly to the Missouri shore. When the boat had reached mid- | stream a crowd of excited men and boys had gathered at the bank and shouted to the owner of the boat to return to| shore. He started to do so, when the negro stood up in the boat and with the remark, “I have lived too long to dje at the end of the rope,” dived Into the wa- ter. He drowned before the spot could be reached and his body disappeared. B T LAUNCHING OF AIRSHIP PREVENTED BY ACCIDENT Port Propeller Wrecks Itself Among the Rods and Bars of the Machine. WIDEWATER, Va., Sept. 4—The pros- pective Jaunching to-day of Professor Langley’s big aerodrpme was abandoned | at 4 o'clock, after the port propeller, re- | volving about 60 times a minute, had wrecked itself among the rods and bars of the machine. Both blades of the pro- peller were torn to small pieces, and one of the main supporting rods of the air- ship was bent to a right angle. Other slight damage was done. The accident was the result of a change occurring in some unexplained manner in the orbit of the blades. But for the prompt action of Professor Manley, who was in the navi- gator's car, in shutting off his engine the aerodrome might have been hurled from the superstructure and entirely wrecked. At the time the accident occurred the newly repaired engine was being tested. | the ownershin of the wood DROWNS HIMSELF |FORMER POLICE GHIEF 15 KILLED J. E. Harris Is Shot at Selma by Man He Had Threatened. Special Dispatch to The Call. SELMA, Sept. 4.—J. E. Harris, ex-Chief of Police of San Diego, who came here a short time ago and purchased a fruit ranch, was shot and killed to-day by W. H. Shafer, a surveyor, with whom he had difficulty over some wood claimed by both. Shafer and Harris had an alterca- tion this morning over the question of and after the fight both men armed themseives. Shafer was standing at the postoffice this after- noon, when Harris, who had but a few moments before purchased a shotgun and a box of cartridges, made his appearance. Harris approached Shafer with his shot- gun held in a threatening manner. He had been drinking and it was evident that he was not quite sure of Shafer's identity. Just a moment before he in- quired of a bystander if he had seen Shafer and was told that Shafer was at the postoffice. Shafer was dressed in a different svit to the one he had on when Harris had before seen him and that probably accounts for his hesita- tion in shooting, as he did not know his intended victim 'well. Shafer was talking to Major Sides, the banker, when Harris approached him and a fight to the death commenced. Har- ris recognized that he had found the man he had been looking for and as he raised his shotgun Shafer grabbed the barrel with his left hand and pulled a revolver from his pocket. Meanwhile there was a flerce struggle for possession of the shotgun. Shafer called twica for Harris to drop the gun, saying t¥Wat he would shoot. Then followed the fatal shot. The bullet found lodgment in Har- ris’ brain. Shafer surrendered himself. ——— EVANSVILLE, Ind., Sept. 4.—The conven- tion of the National Stationary Engineers ad- journed to-day. P. K.

Dr. Crawford was summoned and he found Mrs. Griffith bleeding from the wound on her face crawling into the window of a room on the second floor, her room being on the third floor. She had fallen nearly twenty feet. Dr. Craw- ford put her to bed in the room into which she had attempted to crawl and administered restoratives, the woman be- ing in a state bordering on collapse. While the doctor was with her Colonel Grifith entered the room and his wife asked the physician to request him to leave, which was done,_and Griffith re- turned to his own room. Relatives were summoned to Santa Monica from this city and throughout the night Mrs. Grif- fith was delirfous. In her ravings shel seemed to think she was about to be up near Kuleli Burgas and seven persons were killed and fifteen others were in- jured.

Colonel Jankoff and 400 Men Pass Turkish Posts. BOFIA, Bulgaria, Sept. 4—Colonel Jan- koff, the insurgent leader, with three lieutenants of the Servian army, at the head of a band of 400 insurgents, with a flag flying, crossed the frontler on Mon- day evening and passed through the Turkish posts unopposed. General Zont- cheff, president of the Macedonian com- mittee, in the disguise of a sheep dealer, also crossed the frontier. Captain Stoyanoff’s band captured fifty Turkish soldiers at Rakovitza, about fif- teen miles southeast of Sofia, August 31, took their arms and ammunition and proceeded to\Melnishko. A dispatch from Rila, forty miles from Sofla, says the date of the general insur- rection has been postponed. According to reliable information from Constahtinople, Turkey will shortly have 400,000 soldiers in Macedonia. The prospect of the ap- pearance of such an immense army causes the most intense anxiety here. It is regarded as certain to arouse the ap- prehensions of the powers. The Porte had great difficulty in induc- ing the Asiatic troops to proceed to Eu- ropean Turkey. The change of climate has already caused many deaths. 7 BT T “MAKE THE PORTE OBEY.” English Correspondent Discusses At- titude of the United States. - LONDON, Sept. 5.—The Morning Post publishes a letter from its Constantinople correspondent, in which he discusses the Beirut affair and the position of the American missionaries in Asia Minor. He says “Things have arrived at a crisis. The United States must either insist upon the Porte listening to its representations regarding American converts or drop the killed and asked those about her to save her. Colonel Griffith remained about the hotel office, the physiclan having advised that he remain away from his wife's room. GRIFFITH MAKES STATEMENT. The injured woman was brought to Los Angeles this morning and taken to the California Hospital. Colonel Griffith called there during the day and then went to the City Hall to attend a committee meeting of the Board of Park Commis- sioners. He lunched at the Jopathan Club and this evening returned to Santa Mon- ica, saying he intended to drive his team back to the city to-morrow morning. Asked for a statement as to what cauged his wife's injuries, he said: “We | were packing up, getting ready to return home, and my wife and I were placing clothing in a trunk. Among the garments was 4 hammerless revolver belonging to me and this dropped out and striking something exploded and the bullet inflict- ed what I am told is a not serious wound in my wife's face. She sprang up and cried that she was shot and then ran to- ward the window and fell out. I sum- moned help and she was taken into an- other room on the floor below and to-day was brought to Los Angeles. That is all there was about it.” Colonel Griffith denied that there had been any quarrel, but admitted that he and his wife had had a heated argument about something the nature of which he had forgotten. Several times he stated that the revolver was a hammerless one, but when reminded that it would have ‘been almost impossible for such a wea. pon to be discharged in manner he stated, he said that he was not sure what kind of a weapon it was, He many times reiterated the statement that it was all an accident. He did not seem to realize the serfousness of his wife's condition, as is indicated by the fact that hée went to Santa Monlca to spend the night instead of remaining at the hospital, i AGCUESE THE HUSBAND. rs.

Leveling the weapon at her head and standing within four feet of her he said: YyGet your prayer-book and get down on ydur knees, for I'm going to kill you now.” She screamed and told him to put away fis pistol, but before she could seize It na fired at her. She grappled with him and he tried to fire again, but she eluded his grasp and sprang through the window. She remembered no more until she awoke in bed with the doctor bending over her. Griffith was In the room, and then it was that she asked him to leave and he did so. Mrs. Griffith’s relatives have not dectd- ed what to do.

The curtailment next week is the most exten- sive of any here since the cotton situation became unfavorable to mill owners. This extensive stoppage of machinery will take more than $100,000 out eof circulation through the loss of wages.
