requisltion to pay the salary Of ]. A. j.
Creswell, Government counsel before the
Court OF Commissioners Of the Alabama
Claims, for the month OF August, until it
is settled that there is any balance due
him. The First Comptroller takes the
ground that Mr.. Creewell is not entitled
to a fixed salary Of IS coo per annum, but
that that sum is named as the limit Of the
fees to be allowed him for the trial Of leases
by him. He says that the law organizing
the court authorized the Government
counsel to a reasonable compensation for
each case tried, a0d subsequent law
limited such compensation to 5000 per

SAILING FOR THE CUP.
INTERNATIONAL YACHT MATCH
between the Puritan and Gene ta-7he In
tsrSst Manifested in the An4lr-Ths
Wind Not Favorable, aud NO Decision
ARRIVED at-Thv Puritan Ahead.

Nkw YoRE, Sept. loving to the late
ness Of the start Of the initial race be-
tween the Genesta and the Puritan, and
to the lack Of the wind afterwards, the
yachts succeeded in making only half the
course. In this twenty mile beat to wind
ward, the Puritan squarely outsailed the
the Genesta one mile in ten and nearly
two miles in twenty. A haze settled upon
the bay all the morning and there was no
wind from any quarter until nearly
noon. A hundred sail OF yachts lay in
the Horseshoe at Sandy Hook this morn
ing with the judges, Mes4rs. j. F. Tams,
Charles Stebbens and Phillip Schuyler.
at 9:45 o'clock A. II. Jay Gould's steam
yacht AAslanta passed out by the Hook,
followed lin ten minutes by the
tug Luther Q. Ward, towing the
sloop Puritan. She was saluted by guns
from nearly every steam yacht 10 the feet
while on her way to Scotland Lghtship,
tho starting point. The Genesta remain'
ed in the Horseshoe, while Mr.. Wm.
Kreps, Of the New York Yacht Club, rep
resentiug the Puritan, was put on board
from the judges boat. She then pro-
ceeled under sail on the port
tack to the Lightship. The English cutter
was also saluted blythe large fleet OF yachts
now under weight. The tide was running
flood during the morning. Two hundred
and seventeen vessels oil all sizes and rigs
were assembled within a circle Of mile
of tho Scotland Ti0htahin
This result OF to. days contest is thought
by experienced yachtsmen to bs convinc-
ing proof that the Puritan can beat the

PIXE BLUFF, ARK, September THE
Western Union Telegraph Company ap.
piled to the court at Little Rock, Arkan-
sas, last week for an injunction to pre-.
vent the Arkansas Telegraph Com
pany from building a telegraph
line along the right OF way Of the Little
Rock, Mississippi River and Texas Rail-
ways, between Pine Bluff and Little Rock,
claiming an exclusive contract with the
railroad company. The injunction has
just been denied because at the last ses.
sion Of the Arkansas Legislature
a telegraph law was passed similar to that
in effect 10 nearly every other State in the
Union, granting telegraph companies
rights Of way on all railroads in the State
OF Arkansas.
The Arkansas Telegraph Company is
branch or extension of the Baltimore d
Ohio system to Little Rock, Hot Springs
and other important places in this State:
The material is on the ground and work
will now be pushed forward rapidly. Little
Rock will probably be connected with the

Tangements have also been made for an
extension TO Memphis, Tenn.

A NEw "CRAze"
To be Taken Advantage of by tue First
PFesbyterian Ladies'.

Presbyterian Ladies'.
The Ladies' Church Improvement So.
ciety otthe First Presbyterian church is
arranging for novel and very interesting
entertainment to be held some time next
week, the exact date and place not yet
having been fixed upon. The entertain
ment is to be something on the order
OF the old-iashioned spelling bee. 1t is
called pronouucing match. Some
fifty or sixty ladies and gentlemen are
chosen, more If the size OF the place where
the match is held will permit aud less il
not; sides are chosen by two persons se-
lected as captains. Common words arc
spelled by one selected to give out wo.ds
while another presides over the dictiona-
ry. The idea Is to give the proper
pronunciation Of the word spelled.
Failure to do so, drops the one making the
iailure out Of the lines until at last only
one is left. This one receives q prize. The
idea is Chautauquan one, and in the
East is proving very fascinating crsze.
Those honored by the society to take part
will receive notice OF the same in a few
days. It is not probable that any.
thing but the most urgent bust.
ness will prevent any OF those
asked from taking part. 1t will not only
assist in good cause, but 1t will amuse
both participants and spectators as well as
prove Of benefit to both. The wonder is,
that the craze has not reached Wheeling
before and already become popular.

1t will be observed that the Genesta is

1t will be observed that the Genesta Is
one foot longer than the Puritan, but
her spread OF canvas is considerably les.
Her topmast, having been shortened three
feet, is now only II, instead OF AZ, and her
total height Of mast is only 96 feet, against
the Puritan's l22 feet. Then again her
boom is only 20 feet long, while the Puri-
tan's is 76. The Puritan will, therefore,
have to allow her time. The Yankee
yachts boom is larger spar than is to be
found on any full.rigged ship aaoat. She
has flush deck, with rail about one foot
in height, and her skylights and matches
are constructed with the greatest possible
saving Of weight. Below deck the Puritan
is an exceedingly roomy boat. Her sa'
loon is spacious apartment about fifteen
feet SQUIRE, with two upper and lower
berths on each side. There are two state.
rooms forward OF Ii e saloon on each side,
and one double stateroom with four berths
aft OF it. Forward OF the staterooms on
the port side is the galley, and forward OF
that the forecastle. The Puritan carries
$500 square feet OF canvas.
The cutting down OF the Genesta's top
masts almost on the eve OF the races has
given rise to no end OF conjecture. The
reason assigned by her friends is that her
sails have stretched in this atmosphere
and rendered such an alteration necessary,
but the general opinion is that the chiet
object Is to secure alsrger time allowance.
On this view OF the matter it is argued thst
10 better evidence can be had that the
Englishmen are doubtful Of their ability
to beat the Yankee sloop. Itis certainly
remarkable that the rig Of yacht which
has been so thoroughly tried as the Cen
esta should be altered in the slightest de-
gree on the eve OF such an important con-
