pUNRAvEN's YACHT. The maiden
race OF the Earl of Dunraven's new
Yacht. the Valkyrie. has not been al
together auspiciOus. For pOtwithstand-
iug the fact that she passed the line sew
eral minutes ahead Of either the va
rama. the Deerhound or the Irex. yet.
owing TO the time allowance, the Deer
hound WAS declared the winner. Al
though it is ADMITTED that the Valkyrie
will prove an exceedingly fast yacht

to have disappointed yesterday both
her owner and the English yachtsmen
who had built up so many hopes on her
speed in all kinds Of wind.-E'rchdRge.

King of Italy and the Emperor Of Ger

reviewing a lot Of troops they rallied
at luncheon and drank and toasted each
otherin theusual regal style. There was
no osculatiOn, but pledges of eternal
friendship were made which are about
as valuable as "dicers' oaths.' II a

UNCLE SANS PINAFORE. - When

PIE PRESIDENTS FRIENDS 1t seems
that theuniversal criticism of President
Hariisons nepOtism and favOrtsm to
partners aud chums Is beginning to
have effect. Partner Miller has given
place TO Justice Woods as first ia
yoritc for the Supreme Court va
cancy. Judge Woods is regarded
as peculiarly eligible in politi-
cal sense on account Of his de
cision in favor of Dudley in the
blocks of lven case, while he also
possesses the strong recommendation
Of being from indiana. The idea of
fniing IN the Fourth circuit a Judge
fit to represent that important section
of the country does not seem to enter
into the presidential calculations

. TARIFF: EDUCATIONAL INFLUENCES
or Without mentioning names, 1t
seems only fair to the Comptroller Of
the Census to commend several large
EMPLOYERS of labor for their eiiorts TO
teach their men foreign languages.
In one case one gentlemen, at great e1-
pense. imported 5000 Italians IN order To
allow his temporarily idle employees TO
