Our very unhappy contemporary, the Lon
don Field, has fretted 30 over the British
yachtsman's inability to dictate terms on which
to strive for the Americas Cup that 1t has
simply gone crazy. For evidence We offer It's

to tho Thistle in regard to her too great length.

If the Field will turn to the fifth paragraph
Of the second deed OF gift, 1t will see. what 1t
doubtless has forgotten, that among the re-
Quirements for n challenging club Is to send
the length on load water line Of Its proposed

F,eld suggests a way TO avoid any possible
complication or inequality as 20 length:
"Butwhy, lie, again ask. should all this bother have

CAPTURING DELEGATES.


Hot Contest At the Republican Pri lima, les
In PenDsylvania.
P1TTsBURa, Pa, May 12.-Revised, re-
turns from the Republican primaries
held in Mexican, Venango, Cameron and
Warren Counties, which comprises the
9th Congressional district is as fol-
lows:
Secretary of the Commonwealth Stone,
captured the delegates in Warren and
Cameron Counties. Delamater won in
Venango. Stone has an apparent ma
jority in McKean, which was tho real
battle ground, but this may be turned
in Delamater's favor before the oonven-
ton meets tomorrow. Congressman
Watson carried three of the four coun-
ties and will be renominated for Con-
gress.
Republican primaries were also held
In Erie County. Delamater delegates
were chosen. The result of the day
therefore is five delegates clear for De-
lamater, two for Stone and two Chose
of Mexican County, in doubt.

BOILER EXPLOSION,

A Locomotive Engineer aud Fireman
Blown Into q shapsless Mass.
BUFFALO, N. Y, May 12-Shortly after
o'clock Lehigh Valley switch engine
No. 261 was drawing train of freight
cars from the Tiff Farm into this CITY.
The engine was in charge of Engineer
George Pearl and Fireman Henry O'Con-
nor, and was going at a moderate rate
of speed, and when near the bridge over
the Buffalo Creek without a mo-
ment's warning exploded.
The shock of the explosion was ter
rife, being heard with distinctness two
miles away. Fireman O'Connor's body
was blown 100 feet in the air and fell q
shapeless mass. The body of the en-
gineer was found after some search
where it had fallen. about $50 feet east
of the wreck. He was dead when found,
and the remains were terribly mangled.
Both men had homes in Buffalo, and
each leaves family. The cause Of the
explosion seems to be mystery, and
may never be determined. The engine
ia said to have been an old one, but in
good condition. The engineer, Pearl,
seems to have been a compar atively new
man, and little is known about him in
the yards.

William Gould, of the firm that is

the culprits. Several other firms are
