NEW YORK, Friday, The Tribune says: Men whose opinions and yachting knowledge are respected and trusted declared yesterday that the Shamrock was twisted in her midship section, and that the towing had caused a strain which had warped the planks.
One expert even asserted that the midship section was badly twisted, and that the warp was quite apparent.
Messis. Harrie, Mackay, and Hogarth deny that there is either leak or twist.

Big Russian Failure,
ST. PETERSBURG, August-12th, The events in connection with the suspension of payment on the part of Von Derweis. were so remarkable that the St Petersburg Bourse at first could hardly believe them. A depressing effect has been produced by this failure as although Derweir's capital had been estimated at between 50,000,000 and 60,000,000, roubles he will, after paying all his liabilities, scarcely be able to produce as assets as much Rs. 5,000,000 or 6,000,000 roubles,
Derweis' millions were sunk in a great group of undertakings, each member of which sup ported the other. A great independent net work of railways-one of the most important in the country-was regarded by Derweis as his own. In connection with this railway a number of ships plied for mercantile purposes on the Volga and the Caspian. A great machine, factory, an insurance company, a cement factory, and a number of smaller undertakings were among his other interests.
Many other big houses are likely to be dragged down.
