ST.. Louis, Sept. 27.-Second annual
eight-oared barge race for the Faust cup,
open to crews of the Mound City Rowing
Association, took place this evening. The
was straightway from the bridge to
the arsenal, about three miles down stream.
The contestants were the Concordias, Miss
issippis, and Modocs, the latter being the
winner of the cup last year. The Modocs
and Mississippis got away abreast, and for
the first quarter mile there was fierce
struggle for the lead. This was finely OBJ
tanned by the Modocs, who increased the ad-
vantage to fifteen lengths, when they took it
easy and reached the goal full ten lengths
ahead of the Mississippis, who were three
lengths in front of the Concordias Time,
Modocs, 19 minutes Misslssippis 1924;
Concordias, 19:57M. { -
WHEELING, w. Va, Sept. 27.-The biggest
event ever occurring in aquatic circles in this
city took place this afternoon over the lower
oSnrse, being the three-rnile scun race be-
tween Geo. W. weisgerber, of the Brown
boat club, and Louis Felsing, cf the Nail
City boat club, for $4,000. The event at
tracted a number of sporting men from a
distance, the city being full of strangers.
About s, 1000 people witnessed the contest. A
tor mile both mon were even. In the second
quarter Weisgerber spurted, and led his op-
ponent about two boat lengths, which posi-
tion remained unchanged at the turn, one
and half miles, at the two-mile point Eel
sing closing up gap of three boat lengths,
but Weisgerber maintained good lead. On
the last quarter Weisgerber showed good
boat length and half ahead, which was not

that distance.
This is the third race these men have
rowed in year. In the first contest Felsing
was the winner by half a boat length. In the
second race, rowed in August, Weisgerber
won by length and a half. To-day's con-
test was the decisive test of the superiority
of the men, and it resulted in fair and de-
cided victory for Weisgerber, the Felsing
men acknowledging Weisgerber to be- the
better man. The official time, taken by the
referee, 20:581s.

region, it may be long time before they
emerge into the keen bright sunlight OF pup
licity. Considering the difficult nature OF the
search in which they are engaged, their
progress should naturally be slow. II they
have followed unfrequented paths therefore,
or taken to the woods. there is IA yet no
cause for anxiety on account OF their pro-
longed disappearance, except such as may
arise from uncertainty AS to their Oelng

THE FGYpTylN JIG UP.

As long as the French and English capi-
tGlists paid the piper, there was night merry
dancing along the banks Of the Nile. The
Khediye built gorgeous palaces and pleasure
houses, and laid out magnificent gardens
He established mills and factories with
out number, dabbled in model farm
ing, built railroads, dug canals, sup
ported an opera with the best European sing
ers, paid Verdi al enormous price to compose
"Aida" for his special delectatlOn, founded
schools and colleges, and, in word, intro
duced all the modern Improvements INTO the
sleepy land of Egypt. When Bayard Taylor
last visited Cairo he found it so changed that
he hardly recognized it. He saw broad streets
paved with asphaltum and lighted with
gas, big hotels, handsome European shops
and fine buildings III the latest Paris
ian style, and he looked in vain
for the quaint. dirty old Oriental city he had
described score of years before in his
Tourney to Central Africa" All these fine
things cost fine sum of money. A few years
ago the capitalists stopped making advances,
and the Khedive, no longer able to pay inter-
est on old loans with the principal of new
ones, defaulted. Then the English Govern
ment sent out an expert bnancler 10 man
age his financial affairs for him. Again
all went on swimmingy for time, but the
free-and easy Prince has grown restivo ut
last under the restrictions imposed by this
official, and has rejected him and his reforms.
The English and French money Lenders are
furious, but the Khedive snaps his fingers at
them and proceeds 10 levy 10000 additional
troops as if to show that he does not care for
them nor their Governments. He has had
their money, and spent it right royalty, and
what are they going to do about itl The
Egyptian jig is up at last. lie has
danced, and they have paid tho piper.
The fun is over, but it has left be-
hind new Eastern Question of the
most knOtty character for the statesmen
of Downing Street and Versailles to struggle
witl-a question tangled up with ugly posi-
biliiies of war.

TILE EELMONT SEIKCH PARTY.

The public is becoming anxious about tho
fate Of Mr.. August Belmont aud his gallant
companions who started out, ten days ago, in
search OF Democratic candidate for the
Presidency, and have not been heard of since.
At the conference held IN Mr. Bemont's back
parlor on the 9Th of April the situation was
carefully reviewed; it was resolved that New
York must get rid of Mr.. Tilden and the
chances of capturing a respectable and avail
able person to head him off were discussed
with the gravity which such theme de-
manded. 1t was when the spirits of tho
assembly had fallen pretty low, Us one name
after another was considered and laid aside.
that Mr. Belmont and his six comrades offered
to dedicate themselves 10 the search. and
marched into the interior of the State, with
the cheers of the conference ringing behind
them.
And that was the last OF them. 1t was re-
ported when they set out that they were
going first to Utica. to make a desperate attempt
upon tho Hon. Horatio Seymour but Mr.. Soy
mour as soon az ho heard Of 1t warned them

course in consequence Of the Ex-Governor

cessful it remains to be seen whether the
Greenback people would be swallowed or would
swallow. The De La Matyrs and Murches
have an assured prominence and influence
in their present political relations: it is not
certain that they will be willing to yield these
and be merged in great party in which they
will fall at once to the level OF the ordinary
voter, without a struggle. 1t Is pretty
scheme to be sure, and for our Democratic
friends it seems to be " the only way out
but the chances are very strong that 1t viii
not succeed.

speech is the more vivid and thrilling OF
the two, and must have risen at times,

A sentence to twelve years imprisonment
which has now been imposed upon Madame

The strong purpose which exists in the
lower branch of the Legislature, at least, 10
remodel the laws governing taxation, naturally
arouses n desire on the part Of the public
that so delicate and difficult a subject shall
not be rudely OF IgnOrantly handled. Mr..
David A. Wells, whose close familiarity with
all questions of taxation is well known, dis
cusses on another page several OF the bills
now pending before the Legislature, seeking
10 show that they violate fundamental plin-
cipies of taxation. beside actually embOdying
totally inconsistent ideas. Mr.. Wells's argu-
ment will be heard with tho attention which
his reputation commands, and should be
needed, most Of all by Legislature much IN
need of light on this question.
The House of Representatives has refused,
by a vote of 1T to 108, to declare that legis-
lation on the finances and the tariff Is not e1-
pedient at tho extra session. The vote Is
sigpifcant, not so much because it foreshadOws
any special line of action, as because 1t
shows that the Democratic and Green
back parties have, at last, merged In one
another. The line was strictly drawn,

ference with these great questions at this
