To be Sailed by the Mayfiower and Galatea
When Practicable.
NEWPORT, K. l., September 20.-A
match race between the Mayhower and
the Galatea, to be sailed off Marble Head
some day this week, has been arranged.
The yachts will prepare at once for the
race, and Us soon as day arrives OH which
the wind is a stsOng plain sail breeze the
Mayhower and Galatea will sail over a
course of Marble Head, probably the same
one as sailed by the yachts of the Eastern
Club at the regatta last July.
That course was trying one of fifteen
miles, twice passed making thirty miles in
all. The yacht will 90 in racing trim
and the match will come of this week, If
there is wind enough.
Lieutenant Hem, with cOuntenance
red rs beet from exposure, to Saturday S
sun, was apparently very glad that he will
have an opportunity TO show what his fly
cr can do in breeze of wind. ! did not
wish to sail in n hurricane, he said, last
enening.

people in regard to the point. What
would like is whole sail wind rs much

The wind that now prevails here would
suit me exactly; So would the wind OF

A BAD SNAG.
THE TRADES ASSEMBLY IN SESSION AT
CHICAGO WRRSTLE WITH BEER,
Or, Rather, the Question: Beer or no Beer? An At
tempt to PrOhibiiOnise the Assembly Knocked
In the Head, and the Section Laid
Upon the Table.

CHICAGO, September 2O.-At yester-
days session of the Trades Assembly the
entertainment committee made report
ON the recent labor demonstration and
picnic. The net balance for the sale of
tickets, after paying all expenses, is some
thing over 1000. There were 397 kegs
sold on which the profit to the
Assembly was $3.50. Deducting from
this the amount claimed by the proprietor
of the grove for three bars destroyed and
liquors wasted by reason of disturbances
which occurred, there remains enough to
place net profits of picnic at more than
p, 500. After this the report OF a COM
mittee appointed to revise the constitution
was taken up. The delegates
STRUCK sNAG
in the second section, in the shape of
Prohibition plank.
1t was by Mr.. Temple Kight of Labor.
The section declared that the assembly
hereafter do not accept directly any reven-
ues from the sale of beer or other intoxica-
ting liquors.
Mr.. Cook opposed the section ridiculing
the Prohibition movement as he called it.
He said this was scheme Of
the Knights of Labor, and he did
not propose to allow them to
run this assembly. He was opposed to
the amendment and believed in allowing
the people to take drink whenever they
wanted to. Mr.. Crawford followed and
opposed the idea of turning the assembly
into temperance society. Mr.. Strivers
was first to support the section. He de-
clared for years he had been afraid to take
his wife and children to labor picnics.
He did not want them to witness disrepu
table men and women drinking and fight
ing or piled up three or four deep on the
ground dead drunk. ~ don't advocate
prohibition" he said but decency and
respectability.
Mr.. Owens, one of the best known labor
leaders in Chicago, said: For six years
he kept away from labor picnics because of
their disrespectful character, and he would
continue to keep away until drink was
abolished from them.
Another delegate arose AM said it SEEM
ed very strange time to adopt such meas
ures when ten days before they realized
over 81, 900 from the sale of beer.
President Rowan spoke in favor of beer
at picnics, and the disputed section was
laid ON the table.
The Constitution as revised, excepting
the laid over section, does not differ mate
rally from the old one

WASHINGTON, September 2O.-Actlng
AttorneyGeneral jerks rendered,an opinion
to-day which is of great Importance to I'M
porters. Acting Secretary Fairchild had
submitted TO him a series of questions as
TO what classes of coverings, boxes, sacks
etc, used for the importation OfSoodS, are
subject to duty, and what classes exempt.
The acting Attorney General decides that
no coverings used in bona tide transporta-
ton ofgOods are subject to duty. When
the use is shown to be for the purpose Of
evading duties OF for other purposes than
legitimate transportation, duty can be as
seSsed at the rate of 100 per cent. The de-
cision is based upon the idea that recent
legislation was meant to reduce the reve-
nues by abOlishing all duties on coverings

Canadians Robbing Us.

NEW YORK, September 20.-A special
form Ottawa, Ont, the Herald says: For
some time past Canadian lumbermen, it is
alleged, have made business of system
ntically carrying of lumber from United
States territory. This has been done with
q full knowledge of the Interior Depart
ment. but no step was taken to check it.
The st. Mary'S lake district south of the
10Th parallel in Minnesota is the one
which suffered most from these depreda-
tions. Millions of feet of the choicest
lumber cut and fioated down the ABLY
river to Leth bridge, where it has been
sawed up and and then sent into different
parts of Manitoba and Northwest Terri
territories. Over 400 labOrers were en-
gagged all last winter in the work, and it
is reported that men are being engaged for
similar work this winter.

THE NEw:s1LvER CERTIFICATES.
They Await Only the Seal of the Depart
ment to be Finished.

WASHINGTON, September 20.-Arrange-
ments are being made at the Treasury De-
partment for the early distribution Of the
new silver certificates, which are now be-
ing printed as rapidly as possible. The
first batch of one dollar certificates was re-
ceiYed at the Treasury Department to-day.
1t consisted of 5000 sheets, and amount
10 5000 They now need only the seal
of the Department to be finished notes
The bureau will continue to print these
notes at the rate of 5000 day during
the present week. Additional facilities
will be supplied next week by which the
issue will be increased to $500 day.
Orders for these notes in large amounts
running to several hundred thousand dol
lars have been received from all parts OF
the country. 1t is the purpose of the de-
partment, however to hold the notes until
the supply will allow a pro rata
distribution of a respectable amount
to each section of the country
and they will be shipped from Washington
8 as to secure their simultaneous delivery
pected that the ones will be put into gen.
eral circulation in about two weeks. The
two dollar certificates will not be ready for
issue for about three weeks yet. They are
in great demand and their completion will
be fastened as much as possible. The
printing ofthe five dollar certificates will
not be pushed particularly, as there does
not seem to be the same demand for
them. This is due to the plentiful
supply of the United States and
national bank notes of the same denom-
nation. The design for the five dollar
silver certificate was approved by Acting
Secretary Fairchild to-day. Portraits OF
General Grant and Mr.. Tilden were sug-
gested as proper vignettes for this note
and designs with these two vignettes were
submitted. The selection was under con-
sideration by different officials for several
days, and was finally decided by Secre-
tary Fairchild in favor of the Grant Wig
nette.
