July 6. Although there is a light mist everywhere except directly south of Sandy Hook, there was every indication this morning that the trial race between the Columbia and Defender would be tailed. Tbe outlook tor heavy-weather passed away la the night. At five o'clock tba air waj fairly dear but tbe mist gradually arose until at 8 o'clock it was much too heavy for the comfort ot those who desired to watch tbe race. Tbe wl ad at 8 o'clock waa ecaroely more than a Ave knot breeze.

At 8:30 th mist was a shade heavier with no appreciable freshening ot tbe wind and the ooln-lon was expressed that a light breeze and a heavy mist would likely prevail- 1 At 9 o'clock the flood tide seemed to pick up a bit of breeze, which came alternately from the south and southwest and had some effect on the mist The wind favored the triangular course but as It waa still light and variable tbere was nothing to indicate definitely what course would finally be selected. By thla ttme the boreeaboe inside ot the Hook and the off-Ing outside were beginning -to be dotted with pleasure craft. The Columbia and Defender anchored off Tompkinsville last lileht. Both boats are io best possible trim and keyed up to ooncert pitch, so that barring accidents and with lair weather conditions a decisive teet may be experienced. Tbe official measurements of tba two boats will not be revealed until after tbe trial rtoee, for reasons wall known in yachting oiroles, and there la a possibility that while the public mav enow which boat crosses the finish line first today, It may not know for a certainty which Is tbe actual winner.

Yaobtlng experts flaure that the Defender ia entitled to a time allowance ot about two minutes. Tha conditions ot tbe raoe as arranged by the oommlttee of the New York Yacht olub under whose auspices it Is to be sailed are a 4 mile course either 15 miles to windward or leeward and return or a triangular oourse of ten ullea to eaoh length with the rules that governed the last International race for tbe cup. A handsome cup valued at i'iiO goes to the winner ot to-day's race. At 9:30 tbe olouds had overspread the sky. hiding the sun completely.

The mist had oleared away considerably and tbe wind remained unchanged. At 10:15 tbe mist began to gather again. The olouds that covered tho sky and hid the aun assumed a darker hue, apparently predicating rain and eclipsing tbe promise of tbeearlv morning ofa fair day. At 10:35 the Defender in tow, appeared north ot the Hook and five minutes latere rift in tbe mist revealed the Columota on her way to the Scotland lightship. The Columbia was towed out by tbe tug WallaoeB.

Flint. After getting well peet tbe Honk she set her mainsail, with the first canvas raised. Tlio Defender reached the lightship at 11 o'clock. Her men began setting the main-fall five minute after. A light breeze sprang up at thla time and adrizzlingrato waa falling.

Tbe mist became a little more dense and it was almost Impossible to keep track of iba racers. At 11:80 the Defender cast off her tow and with jib, top sail and mainsail set. she Is bearing off to tba eastward. A driving rainstorm ia bearing out to sea gradually and obsoured the two boats. A signal has just been sect from tbe Hook that tbe start wtll be made from the Sandy Hook lightship.

At 11:25 the wind has died down altogether and boats are apparently breathed. Both are headed toward tba SandT liook lightship. Tbe prospect for wind enough to sail me raoe is steadily becoming poorer. Towards one o'clock the breeze freshened and it was decided to start th race. The Corsair, tbe flagship, signalled No.

3 oourse, which Is over a triangle tea miles to each leg. The scene at this time waa a pretty one, both boats sailing in and out among the fleet at the atart, jockeying tor a good position to get over tbe Hue. The start was made at 1 o'olook. At 1:03 the boats were standing west the Columbia slightly to the windward. At after port tack by both, the Columbia is leading, although the Defender apparently croeeed the line first.

At 1:08 both boats ars standing In shore, Columbia to the windward. Th wind ia improving. At 1:15 both boats went about to the south east and bave disappeared lu the baze. At 1:30 both boats are on the port taok standing in shore with tee Coluainia In the lead. They are beaded southwest At 1:50 the yachts are dressed alike in main, stay, jib, club top and baby jib top sails.

Thougn it was for a time difficult to distinguish the boats, at ths end ot the first hour it was evident that the Defender had the lead by quarter ot a mile. 1 At 2:15 tbe Defender tacked to the southeast and It took the Columbia one minute and ten seconds to weather her want. The Columbia ia tossing heavily, while the Defender rides somewhat more smoothly They are off Seabright and near tbe finish mart. The Defender's lead is not aa great as It was a short time ago. At 2:18 both are port taoklng to the southwest for the turn of the first mark.

As the yachts approached the turn a squall oanie up which bid tbem from view. It passed over and tbe Columbia tacked to port again beoauee tbe Defender's maln- sHii was naca winding ner. This waaat azo. ine ueieniler at tbe time waa far to leeward, etill leading. The Columbia, whicn bad worked her way well Into tbe wind, rounded the first marker at p.

about forty-five seconds ahead of tbe Defender. Both then set away on tbe reaon to tbe next mark. At 3:50 the Columbia bad in or eased her advantage considerably. SYRACUSE CLUB WILL STAY. Sandy Griffin Will Be Retained.

Tbe main feature ot tbe ses sion vitio address by the Hon. James MutotiNI, of Philadelphia. His aubjeot was "Fidelity to Court and Christ In Criminal Tbe epeater was Introduced by Judge Woodward and was received with on-bounded applause. Tne oourt room waa densely crowded and standing room was at a premium. Judge Mitchell spoke at some length nd bis remarks were Intently listened to by ail.

His addrese proved highly interesting and instructive in every detail. His su) ject dealt mainly with criminal law and with tba highteetof crimes. He slated tbat there waa not a lawyer living to-day who could uot help but notice the giaantls strides that lawlessness and crime bad takes in the past decades. He also referred to crime without criminal Intent and he handled the subject in such an entertaining manner tbat tbe large audience was spellbound thorougbout. The judge also referred to the selecting ot a jury and that it was fraught with evil and dHiiger.and had a suspicious look about It, when a lawyer selected jurors that anew or associated with bis client, although all might be fair and square, but that it did look queer from a public s'andpoint.

Jury tlxing, be held, was only praoticed by such lawyers who hang about the ragged edge of lawlessness and who disgrace an honorable profession by their miserable actions. The ideal tral Is tbe one wherein the innocent has nothing to fear while the guilty has little to hope for. His address was able throughout and he handied blasubjeot gracefully and excellently and brought out many strong points that were full ot interest to every auditor. The Judge spoke specifically of the lawyer's standpoint In tryl ug oases and held that he should ever try to elevate his position and profession and should never lower himself or to forget for a single moment ths high office of fi delity and trust that is imposed in him aud that he should always abide by the law, aud by the facta and evidence in tbe case and should never stoop to trickery to wrongly clear a client, but that he should always strive to have justice case its course. Tbe reports ot tbe committees were con eidered and tben the bill tor proposed legislation were read.

Tba nominating committee was named and at 5 d. as. all tbe members went to Harvey's Lake by special train. On their return dinner will be served at th Sterling. Continued on Second Page.

Fort Worth, July 6. A telephone message from Deputy Sheriff Sweringen of Calvert says that fully 200 lives have been loss by flood within radius of 30 mile of Sealy, and nearly 100 were drowned in the vicinity of The Mound, a mail piece of hitch land near San Felipe, to which hundnedi of negroes fled from the Brazos bottoms, taking their horses and cattle.1' The waters hare gradually encroached upon them untiLonly about half an acre of spaoe and this the water will probably sweep before muny hours. There 300 negroes are huddled, with death staring them in the face.

Drowning is almost sure, while starvation is certain. The Nearest point of land is three miles away. The devastation in Walle Washington. Fort Bend, Grimes am 9 counties along the lower course Oi the Brazos river and the Colorado river is much greater than indicated by the earlier reports. The condition of the people is critical, and appeals for aid iq the way of clothing and food reached here from everal Texas Cltiea The larger Texas cities are responding generously to these calls for assistance, and the necessities asked for will be sent to the suffering people as soon as transportation facilities can be secured to the remote country districts of the bottoms of the Brazos, where are numerous small settlements of.

from 50 to 100 inhabitants each. These small clusters of houses were occupied almost exclusively by negroes, and It is feared that they were swept away by the flood and many of them drowned. Additional authentic reports of cases of drowning at many places in the inundated region are received here. The following is a conservative estimate of the number of persons known to have been drowned in the several counties embraced in the flooded district: Waller, 17; Urimes, Austin, 2: Brazos, Robertson, 42; Bell, Washington Matngorda, Burleson, Fort Bend, 1, and Brazoria, 3.. Total loss of life, 89.

Nearly nil of the persons known to have been drowned are a number of instances negro families who were warned of the impending rise re fused to desert their cabins and contin 'ued to occupy their humble homes until unconfirmed report that 125 negroes had been drowned in county has reached here. It is thought that the loss of life will exceed the above estimate when the real situation is revealed aftei the waters have subsidei to PULLMANS RECONCILED Disinherited Son Said to Be Restored to tils Mother's Favor. Long Branch, X. July 0. There is much interest here in the reconciliation of George M.

Pullman and his mother, which took plnce at Mrs. Pullman's home at Elberou, mid as a result of the reconciliation it is snid that' the young man, who married his twin brother's former fiancee, will return to Chicago with hi mother. Young Pullman's wife left for the west a few days ago, and rumor has it that the son of the millionaire, who practically was disinherited by the terms of his father's will, has made his peace with his mother and that he now is casting eyes at one of the fairest young women in Long Branch. An alliance in that direction is to be expected should the present Mrs. Pullman decide to get a release.

She at present is with her parents in Chicago. Since the death of the father of the twins they have been living in and about Long Branch. At the time of their father's death George M. Pullman was engaged to marry the daughter of former Governor Oglesby, and his brother, Walter Sanger Pullman, was engaged to marry Miss Lyn Ferunld. When the will was made public, both engagements were broken off.

Walter Sanger Pullman went to California, where he married the daughter of a forty-niner, who was a schoolteacher. She was Miss Lander West. The couple had known each other but a few weeks when they decided to be married and $id so without further delay. In August of last year George Pullman was at Long Branch, and Miss Fernnli, who had been engaged to his brother, was there. The pair went on a coaching trip to Freehold, and on the way to the county seat decided to get married.

Mr.

Everett Warrep, ot tbe oom mittee on membership, made a very satisfactory report and it was filed. The report ot the epecial committee on Uniformity of Legislation waa read by the ohalrman, Mr. Walter G. Smith, ot Philadelphia. It waa reoeived aud fhed.

Tbe report stated tnat the special committee was appointed at tbe last meeting ot the association to urge upon the legislature the passage of aa act to authorize tbe appointment ota commission, to oonaiet of three person learned In the law, for tbe promotion ot Uniformity o' Legislation in tbe United States, anrl iu accordance with tbe instructions ot tue association tney prepared a bill to oover the necessary legislation, and at their request it waa introduced by tbe Hon. J. liayard Henry in the Senate at the recent session of the legislature, and after being amended so as to require all tbe exoenene ot the commission to be paid otherwise than by the state, It wan passed and sent to the house. While pending on third reading, the governor appointed three commissioners who were promptly oonfirmed by the Seuate. This aotlon ot tbe governor was naturally interpreted by tbe bouse aa Indicating that tbe bill wan unnecessary legislation, and accordingly it failed to pass.

The committee teel tbat this was unfortunate. There is now bo legislation under which: the gentlemen appointed as commiesion- erb can act, though doubtless tbe board of commissioners would extend tbem all privilege ot membership, so far as the rules of oourtesy demand, should they appear at its next session. A further effort Is suggeste-1 to be made to seoure the passage of a suitable aat. The report of the Special Committee on Constitutional Prohibition ot Special Legislation was read by the ohairman, Mrs. James H.

orrey, ot Sorantou, and it was filed. Th report of the Committee on Law Reform waa the first taken up Tor discussion and it proved decidedly animated. Tue first matter taken waa tbe changing of the law relating to mechanic's liens sod muniolpal claims. The draft nf a proposed Act, oovering the ohanges, waa presented. Mr.

H. L. Ashhurs', ot Philadelphia, was strongly iu favor ol it. Chairman Simpson, of the committee, made a fine plea in favor of the act. It was decided to ask tbe legislature to adopt the act and thus make it a law.

The next matter taken up was tbe proposed aot of assembly, "relative to expert or opiniou testimony, declaring and modifying some ot the existing rules ot law and of practloe, providing also for oboosing and paying official experts in oertain contingencies, and enacting penalties to enforce tne provisions of this stat- This oreated no and of ditoussion. aot is to be recommsnde 1 to the State Legislature for1 adoption a a law. Mr. Richard C. Dale, of Philadelphia, In a brilliant buret of oratory, held that the proposed act needed some thought, in fact considerable thought, by ths meeting, as a bodyf before it should be made a law.

He elated that the Dtopoaed law might be all right, bat that it needed looking into before the meeting, as a body, should commit itself in so radical a ohango ot law as was proposed. Judge John B. MoPborson, of Philadelphia, the new United States l'lstriot Judge, made an able plea in favor of the proposed change ai the bill allows the cross-examination ot an expert witness by both ptrtlee. He held tbat at present the experts ieati-mony Is sneered at and tbe jury laughs at It and that for that reason a change Is urgent and tbat at onoe. l'hat If the aot became a law aud wae tound not right that it oould easily be repealed.

Tbe discussion was taken part In by Mr. Edward J. Fox, of Enton, Sir. T. Elliott Patterson, ot Philadelphia; Mr.

William I. SohafftHV of Chester. They talked against the prybpoaed act in its present oonditlon. Judge J. W.

Simonton. ot Harrisburg. was in favor ot a change ot the preaeut law. Mr. Dais again took the floor and held tbat It jurymen he I tbe courage to render verdiutaln accordance with tbe evldenoe and facts In the case, justice would then be properly administered; but that juries rarely convict wbere they ought to, and rarely acquit where they ought to.

Judge White, of Allegheny, was against the proposed Aot and wauted it put over Indefinitely. He held that too much prominence was given to expert testimony and that little eoufldenae waa plaoed In it. He also la ted tbat oftentimes a man on trial, whom tbe experts claim 1 insaua, can give a better and saner statement than the expert, and tbat juriea pay little attention toexpert testimony. Mr. Sim peon, of Philadelphia, claimed that tbe expert testimony law, aa it now exists, I a farce and that a change was badly needed.

That a diatriot attorney waa not a paid adversary to convict every criminal or bang every alleged murderer, but that be waa between tbe Commou-wealtn and the gallows and tbat It wae bla duly to proteot tbe prisoner If tbe evldeac deserved It- He made a very brilliant plea lu favor of tbe proposed Aot. Mr. John Autln Marrell, ot Pbiladel phlo, favored Mr. Dale' staud points. tlr.

John Weaver and Mr. W. K. Flshar, ot PnllauoiDbla, were with the opposition. Judge Whlte'a motion, to postpone the matter indefinitely, wai voted down with a hurrah.

Mr. Ashurat waa In favor of a change, but wanted It done in a careful manner. Mr. V. 1, Netlaoo, of Philadelphia, waa in favor of tue change.

Alexander Simpson, ot Philadelphia. The report suggested a change on the laws bearing on "mechanic's liens" ami on "expert testimony." The report was filed. The report of tbe Committee on Leeal Education was read by the chairman, Mr. Hubert Snodgrass, ot Harrisburg. It was reoeived and filed.

The committee suggests ths use of uniform rules througnout the state in the el imination of applicants for admission to the Bar. The rules, designed to be established, aa tar as possible, are to be ot a higher standard of curriculum of legal study, as well as a uniform system ot examinations, both preliminary and final, throughout the Commonwealth. The rules were approved by tbe State Association and were recommended for adoption to tbe judges of the several Judicial districts in the State aa well as to tne boards ot examiners of tue various counties. Many counties adopted tbe rules while others approved them. Circular letters were sent to each member of tbe oommlttee throughout the Slate requesting tbem to report as to tbe progress made during the past year and to state whatever suggestions they wish-ad to make upon the general subject of Jegal education.

Tbe oour-mittee reports that there was a uniform sentiment strongly in favor ot a higher standard of ourriculuru and more thorough examinations than have heretofore prevailed. Also that there naturally exists a wide diversity of opinion as to the extent and soope ot th uniform examinations, aa well as to the standard Itself. The following resolution was adopted by the Keaolveil, That it la the sense ot this oommlttee; that tbe State Bar Association at Its present mealing, be asked tolnstruol tbe Committee on Legal Education, to be appointed, to draft an act, to be presented to the next meeting of the Legislature, looKUig to tbe establishment of education and admission to tbe Bar, throughout the State, such act be submitted to the Aa-aooiation tor Its consideration at ita next meeting.
