AMERICAN SLOOPS And ENGLISH CUT
TERG


"Thc Yankee centred board yacht is a mere
racing-machine, while the English cutter is
plcasurc-boat for service" has been the bitter
criticism of the English yacht owner and the
English press for some years past. But what
is the strange admission Of Lieutenant Hem
IF our rule DID not tax team SO much, he says,
Il should like 20 build a wider cutter. and then
she would be almost perfect, to my mind.
There Is no use in building a WIDE cutter in
England for racing, for she would be badly
beaten by the allowance" So the cutters OF
the Galatea model are built with view to MAX
ing them racing machines, are they ! And
Lieutenant Hem has "hOpcs Of change in
this matter, and then we [thc Engshl will
build better ships
Lieutenant Hem also makes what may be
taken Us an inadycrtent admission that " the
Yankee centre board yachts are known to he
really swifter than the English cutters. He
hopes that some Of the American yachts will
cross the ocean to sail against some of the
| English yachts, and adds: Centre Oarls arc
not allowed in regattas by our rules but there
are the Brentons Reef and Cape May challenge
cups" Why are our centrc-board yachts ruled
out Of the English rcgattas The American
yacht clubs are far more literal than are the
English clubs Poss bly, tie recent intcina la
contests may bring about more generous treat
nicnt Of our yachts, 50 that the tests OF supe'
riorty of models may bc permitted IN English

The elections in Arkansas on September p
were carried by the Democrats aud the state
remains a part of the Solid South. How was IL
done? Read the statements 10y Judge John
Mcclure, printed this morning. and see. Ii
is straightforward tale of bold cheating IN
counting the returns. All the election officers
were Democrats aud the evidence is PLAIN that
hundreds of ballots were altered after they were
cast. OF course the shout will Immediately be
raised by the friends Of the National Admlnis-
tration that the Republicans, and HE TRIBUNE

purposes But that is not true, and the Cover

The appeal to his counuymen in America,
which Mr. Parnel makes through The IRIB-
uNE's special cable dispatches this morning Is
inspired by grave anxiety Evidently he bc-
lieves that the English Government is about
TO begin movement of determination against
the Irish tcnant-f farmer and he asks for help
from America which will alleviate the suiierings
of the victims of the social war, save them
from revenge and desperation, and thereby
immensely strengthen the peaccable character
Of the Nationalist agitation. Mr.. ParnelFs
enemies arc ever ready TO misconstrue his words
and acts, and they will doubtless Try to msin-
tcrpret this appeal. But it is hard TO imagine
how his language in this respect can be twisted
into threats of a revival of agrarian crime. L
is all for peace and order.

LABOR TROUBLE.
The Amoskeag Mills Running, But With
a Small Force.
MANCHESTER, n. H. Feb. "a,

MANCHESTER, N. H., Feb. "a.
The condition of affairs at the ADoskeag
mills, today. is little changed from the last
few days. What change has taken place the
company's representatives say is for the
better. An improvement is shown in coarse
work but none in fine work, such as ging
hams. Some of the weaving rooms have
had less help than yesterday and others more,
so that the general average shows an increase.
From the company's standpoint this is re-
garded as a favorable indication and fore
runner of better things to come. 1t is a set
tied fact that the mills will continue to run
as long as they can and that the schedule of
prices first offered by the company will not
be changed.
At mass meeting of the weavers this af-
ternoon, the sentiment was in favor of a re-
turn to work, with an understanding given
out by the speakers that Agent Straw had
promised if they would return to work, that
he would satisfy their demands. They will
hold meeting tomorrow and vote on the
question.
Agent Straw states that he has made no
offers, whatever, to do differently than was
stated at the first conference with the weav-
ers' committee and that the company had no
other offer to make.

Dempsey 10 matched to fight, and his bscker
Tom Bogue of Boston. Ii WAS announced
that Dempsey and the "Msrine" would soon
meet, after which Dempsey would make q
tour of the country and locate permanently
IN Oregon. IL was 1880 O'Clock when McCov
jumped over the ropes. He WAS ACCOMPANIED
by Dan Gill of Boston and Tom Evans.
Dempsey followed Immediately and was as
sisted BY Gus Tu,hiil and Tom Cleary. W.
+ Harding was chosen time keeper and
Mike Clesry referee. In the irst round
Dempsey made no attempt to fight. but made
three points to McCoy's one. In the second
round Mccoy got in some good work, but in
the third and fifth rounds Dempsey fairly
made sport of him and had him winded. In
the sixth and last ronud Mccoy fought for all
he was worth but was unable to stop Demp-
sey's body olows and upper cuts and McCoy's
friends felt relieved when the referee called
time. LaBlanche set all the time in the re.
porters gallery, surrounded by friends who
offered to wager $1,000 to $500 that the bat
tie would be declared draw. The referee,
however, declared that the fight was won by
Dempsey. The receipts, which go to the
winner. amounted TO about $4,000.

A meeting of the A. & W. Sprague Man
utacturing Co. was held today to hear the re-
port of the commission appointed at the
meeting December %. 10 determine upon the
proper course of action to be exercised by
the creditors of the Sprsgue Manufacturing
Co. The report sets forth that certain money
and property valued at S2l, 900 has been re-
ceived by William Sprague without the con-
sent of the trustee, Mr.. Chafee. Mr.. Chafee
has charged and received for his services as
trustee $30S, 500. The sum paid for legal
services since August, 1884 is S20,l42. The
Battle mill estate, with the territory appur.
tenent thereto. and the property in WASH
ington, ID. c., both involved in the litigation,
constitute the greater part of the estate now
remaining unsold. Chafee 10 now CT arging
for his services $50 u week. The committee
suggested to the trustee the propriety Of
making reduction in his charge, in reply to
which he said that he considered his charges
just and fair, but was willing to have them
adjusted by the courts.
The report OF Mr.. Gould. the accountant,
comedies with the figures given above, with
an additional cost Of $500, 900 for various
causes. committee was appointed to con-
fer with the trustee from time to time until
the property was disposed of and report at
subsequent meeting OF the creditors.

PROSPECTS s OF A SETTLEMENT.
The Mccormick Lockout Assumes a New
Aspect-ResOIutions Adopted.

CHICAGO, Ills, Feb. "a.
The Mccormick lockout has assumed a
new aspect. At a secret mass meeting of
employees held last night there were present
about 800 employees of the reaper factory
The session was a stormy one and resulted in
the adoption of series of resolutions of the
following purport: That board be appoint
ed composed of representatives Of different
trades to which everything pertaining to a
settlement shall be referred; that no propo-
sition will be entertained not looking to a re-
opening of the works with union men in all
the departments that the Mccormick firm
sign guarantee limiting the powers Of Supt.
Averll in discharging men who work in the
interest of organized labor; and last that as
knights of Labor, moulders and metal work
ers, the men pledge themselves to stand to-
gether in the contamination of their pur.
poses. The adoption of these resolutions, it
is feared, does away with the hopes Of an
early settlement. The presiding officer said
that on and after today the Knights of Labor
would prevent any car or stock of any de-
scription from being taken to or from the
works.

BURLINGTON, VT, Feb.

BURLINGTON, VT, Feb. "a.
Today has been the best day yet of the car
nival The weather is cold with pleasant
skv and crowds are coming continually. This
afternoon the five mile skating race over the
five mile course was won in q minutes by
Edward Drysdale of Montreal, who was
awarded gold medal. For fancy skating
Mr.. Rubenstein of Montreal took a gold
medal The race for 2.35 horses was not
finished. There were only three starters,
Columbus, Mary A., and Sister. In the
sixth heat the two former collided throwing
the drivers and breaking the cutters. The
race was postponed until tomorrow forenoon.
The main feature of today's program was a
procession of decorated and illuminated
torches tonight of over a half mile long.
Before the starting out the procession en-
circled City Park and set of fireworks.
Coasting and tobogganing were inulged in
during the day and evening.
