him. When off Gascoign's Bay, Han
Ian crossed the bow Of Kemp's boat
and again fouled him. Kemp got
clear and proceeded, winning by FIVE
lengths.
An enormous crowd was present.
This race was for $500 and the

CONDITION OF THE KAISER.
The Emperor's sleep was unbroken
for several hours toward the morning
of the 9Th. 1t was the best sleep he
had enjoyed for many weeks. He
awoke with good appetite and in
good spirits. He cannot walk a step,
though he was able to stand occa-
sionally that day.
The danger is that IN the event of
a recurrence of the crisis, with his
powers of resistance reduced to a
minimum, there viii be no chance for
him to survive long.
The Crown Prince, though alb
sorbed in his extensive duty, confers
daily with the Empress, apart from
his visit to his father.
The marked change in the Crown
Princes demeanor was coincident
with the visit of Queen Victoria,
whose success in counseling him
proves to be more enduring than was
anticipated.
The Kaiser's gallant struggle
against a fatal catastrophe still con
tinues to give Berliners breathing
time. In several churches prayers
were offered to end his terrible suf-
fering, but these prayers for death
have been severely ridiculed by the
German press, and they will be dis
continued. The manifestation of
sympathy in all parts Of Germany is
most touching and unbounded
THE TARIFF QUESTION.
Mckinley Of Ohio, member of the
Republican minority on the Ways
and Means Committee, has been at
work on tariff bill as substitute
for Mills bill. 1t will embody the
internal revenue features of the Mills
bill, will relieve alcohol used in the
arts from taxation, and will either
place sugar absolutely on the free list
or leave Just enough bounty which it
Is proposed to give the sugar growers.
This viii not be bill for which some
of the Eastern Republicans can con
sistently vote. 1t will not make clean
work Of the internal revenue system.
as not more than half the Republi-
cans believe in wiping out the whis-
key tax.
1t has not been easy to reconcile
the conflicting views of the five Re
publican members of the committee,
to say nothing Of the 155 Republicans
IN the House.
Kelley of Pennsylvania wakes furi-
Gus when the subject of reducing the
duty on sugar is mentioned.
Randall has declared his strenuous
opposition to taking off sugar duties,
and in that regard stands on the
same platform as Kelley. The Ran
dali bill, which proposes to wipe out
the internal revenue system, and to
adjust the tariff schedules in the in
terest Of monopoly, would not re-
ceive the votes of all the Republicans,
and probably not half of them.
The progress of the discussion
makes it more and more evident that
if there be wise management on
the Democratic side, the only bill
which can be passed will come from
its leaders.
