Acapulco Friday night, she had two full
days start Of the Charleston when the lat
ter started again in pursuit last night. This
is about the same lead that she had when
she started from San Diego. Panama is

half the distance to lqmque, the nearest

When the navy department commune
Gated with the Omaha on the arrival of
that vessel at San Diego last week, just
after the departure of the ltata, the reply
came back that the cipher could not be
read as there was no code on board the
ship. The Omaha was on her way home
from the Asiatic station, and Admiral
Belknap, commanding that station and
Captain Cromwell Of the Omaha, will be
called upon by the department to explain
how it happened that she was at sea with
out the code.

The Vote on Convention.

For the second time in four years the
people Of Delaware have voted on the
question Of calling convention to re-
wise and amend the State constitution
a constitution framed by a convention
called by authority of a simple majority
of the votes cast "for" and against at
the general election of 1880 and which
constitution was never submitted to the
people for ratification or rejection. Just
sixty years have passed by since the
men who composed convention
called into being by simple ma
jority vote on general election
day, acting on their own motion and
without any more formal ratification Of
their work than popular acquiescence
has given to it, assumed to bind their
sons, their grandsons and their great
grandsons down to the "unexception-
able mode which was adhered to with
iron-clad fidelity iii Tuesdays vote,
The returns received by The GA
zETTE indicate that that vote, though
phenomenally large for a bye-election
entirely divorced from tine incentives Of
personal interest and party com
petition, has fallen a mere triile,
less than five hundred votes, short
Of the desired total Thevoters of Will
mington did their part we'll so did Kent
county; the detection is chiefly attribut-
able to Sussex county, which promised
5000 votes and turned in only about
$500. New Castle county, outside of
Wilmington, likewise failed to do rs
well as it should have done But We
had the biggest vote ever polled in Del
aware as the measuring rod by which
to guage the sufiiciency Of vote
upon an abstract issue and one taken
during a season when farmers can ill
afford to quit work for single day or
halliday.
If it should be decided upon the Off
cial count, by the next General Assem-
bly,, which will be the tribunal to finally
pass upon it, that the vote Of yesterday
was insufficient, there is cause for thank
fitness in the reflection that the pilling
amendment Is there to fail back on and
that, after it has been ratified by a
three-fourths vote of the Legislature
Of 1893, the "unexceptionable modcn
late will be shifted from the
third Tuesday of May to general
election day and that the question of
calling a convention may be again and
finally resubmitted to the people, in
strict conformity with the restrictive
provisions Of Article TX as amended, at
the general election Of 1894. This will
postpone the assembling Of the conven-
ton for two years, to the winter Of
1897, instead Of 1S95-the year in
which the convention would have met
had the rest Of the State done as well
as this city and Kent county Tuesday.

We print to-day classified summary
of the bills acted on by the General AS
;emhlg Of 1891 The list, it will be OBJ
served, is long one; almost as long ms
the session itself There were ASH bills
introduced in the House and 1876 in the
Senate. Besides these 623 bills, there
were some Joint resolutions which 10
not figure in the lists we print The
most important of these joint resolu-
tions was the one offered BY Mr.. Ilig-
gins, appointing a board Of commits
sioners to investigate and arbitrate diff.
terences arising between shippers and
transportation lines This resolution
was adopted By the House with practi-
cal unanimity, but fell through because
Of the failure Of the Senate to concur.
An examination Of the work accom-
plished will convince most readers, We
think, that the long session Of the Cen.
eral Assembly Of 1891 was busy one.

HE.4Rsr's NEW YACHT.
A Speedy and Palatial Craft for the Pa
ciflc--Sha VIII Re Vary Enst


There is Just being completed at the
yards Of the Herreshoff Manufacturing
Company Of Bristol. r. l., what will be
one Of the most palatial yachts afoat. 1t
Is the yacht of w, r.. Hearst son of the
late Senator Hearst of California. It is
expected that She will be ready to slide off
the ways in about 10 days, The launching
will be an important event. A big crowd
Of people will journey to Bristol to wit
ness the ceremony. 1t will include men
prominent in social, political and yachting
circles.
When completed, if the yacht comes M
to the contract stipulations, Mr.. Hearst
will take her to the Pacific coast, where,
without a doubt, in point of speed and
beauty she will stand without peer. The
total length Of this magniiieently proper
toned bant is ITO feet. She has beam of
ia feet and draws 81 feet. Like all OF
Herreshoif's boats she is built to attain the
highest rate Of speed possible. If She
comes up to expectations few boats ailoat,
if any, will equal her in speed. The CON
tract calls for % miles an hour, and il is
more than probable that she will be able
to travel little faster than that.
