Tho American Oarsmen Defeat
Hosmer and Gaudaur in q Pretty
Race on the Lake, the Time of
the Viotors Being 10 Minutes and
Do Seconds.
ERIE, Pa, June 24.-The great inter
national double scull race for the worlds
championship has been contested for on
Prosque Isle bay, and Hanlon and O'con-
nor will carry it back to Toronto, to-
gether with the citizens purse of 81 500.
The attendance at the course was very
large. When the hour for the race ar
rived the scullers refused to risk the
choppy seas, but at about o'clock the
wind began to go down, and at 8;45 the
oarsmen were called by the referee, D.
j. Galanagh, of Philadelphia. Hosmer
and Gaudaur exposed themselves as
being satisfied with the condition of the
course, and as Hanlon and O'Conner
were ready the scullers got the word
at $3.50.
At the start Hosmer and Gaudauer
showed slightly in front and were pull
Ing thirty-eight strokes to the minute.
In turning the stake the four men were
on even terms, but after going less than
a hundred yards the Canadian team
forged to the front and remained there
to the end, winning one of the best races
of the kind ever witnessed in these
waters. The time was 1855; that of
Hosmer and Gaudaur 1857.

SAN Francisco, June A.-The steamer
China arrived from Hong Kong and
Yokohoma yesterday, bringing news
that there was every appearance of an
other outbreak against the missionaries
when the steamer left. 1t was chiefly
due to the energy and courageous efforts
of the native teachers that the mission
aries and ladies of the Zenana mission,
Chingho, escaped being murdered and
to the personal intervention of some men
that DR.. Figg, of Kinning, was saved.
from being drowned in a vat of manure.
Even more clearly than in privious riots,
it was demonstrated that the mandarins
tooks no steps to protect the stores which
he had been gathering for some time,
and the literati were active instigators
of the outbreak. A significant fact was
that one of the first acts of the mob was
to tear down the proclamation of the
emperor prohibiting all attacks upon
foreigners which was hanging in front
of the Chingho mission.

Profoundly Touched by the Conf

BuzzARDs BAY, Mass, June 24.-All
night long ex-President Cleveland, Gov
ernor Russell and Joe Jefferson sat be-
side the telegraph operator in little
room at Gray Gables receiving dis
patches from the Chicago convention.
1t was about 4:20 a. m. when the ticker
told those present that Mr.. Cleveland
was nominated on the first ballot. Be-
fore going to bed Mr.. Cleveland gave
out the following statement:
II should certainly be chargeable with
dense insensibility if l were not pro-
foundly touched by this new proof of
the confidence and trust of the great
party to which belong and whose man
dates claim my loyal obedience. | am
confident that our fellow countrymen
are ready to receive with approval the
principles of true Democracy, and
cannot rid myself of the belief that to
win success it is only necessary to per-
sistently and honestly advocate those
principles. Differences of opinion and
Judgment in Democratic conventions
are by no means unwholesome indica-
tions, but it is hardly conceivable, in
view of the Importance of our success to
the country and the party, that there
should be anywhere among Democrats
any lack of harmonious and active eff
fort toiwln Ill the campaign which opens
before us. | have, therefore, no concern
on that subject. 1t will certainly be
my constant endeavor to deserve the
support of every Democrat"
Many kindly greetings and expressions
of regard came by telegraph from Mr..
Clnveland's personal friends. Thirty
eight such messages had been received
and transmitted from the Buzzard's Bay
office to Gray Gables before the tele-
graph operator there had arisen, aud
from that time onward they came in a
steady stream. They were from people
in all positions in official and civil life.

WASHINGTON, June AIN spite of the tor

for the printing of additional copies of the re-
port of the committee on foreign relations ON

priation bill was then taken up and without
taking vote thereon, and the senate, at sos,
adjourned until Monday. The house met at II
O'Clock, but adjourned Immediately without
transacting any businesa. No quorum was
present and interest centred In the Chicago
convention, tho members gathering in knots
and discussing the nomination of MIR. Glove

dam at Frackville bursting is past, and
the people living along the valley have
ventured to return to their homes. In
addition to the constant outpour through
the leak the water is being tapped

cred eight feet. The leak has been made
larger by the swiftly running water,
but the stone wall has not given way.
The water is at present flowing from
between the rocks. The manner in
which the breastwork is constructed is
what prevents it from bursting.

Atlantic County Democrats Who Want

the School superintendency.
MAYS LANDING, N. j., June 24.-The
appointment of a county superintendent
of public schools for this county, which
will be made on Thursday next, has
cuused bitter fight, and as the time for
the appointment draws near all the can
didates for the office are redoubling their
efforts to win. The contest has been the
hottest ever known over an Office of this
character In Atlantic county.
The most prominent candidates are
Lawyer Anderson Bourgeois, ex-Assem-
blyman James S. Beckwith, and Editor
John 7. Hall, of the Atlantic City Daily
Union. The present superintendent,
Silas r. Morse. is candidate, but is
not considered in the race, as he is a
Republican; and as the state board of
education, which makes the appoint
ment, is composed of Governor ALBEIT
aud other Democratic officials, it is very
likely that Democrat will receive the
appointment.
The duties of the office are light,
while the salary is q good one. The
fight has caused split in the Demo-
rcatic county committee, and all the
candidates are now on an equal footing.
