A RACE FROM OCEAN 10 OCEAN.

The long ocean race between the
American ships Tam O'Shanter and
Shenandoah from New York to San
Francisco was ended Thursday,w when
the Tam O'Shanter won, coming in
three hours ahead of the Shenandoah.
Both were Ill days in making the
run, and when the result became
known there was great excitement
among shipping men. Last fall the
Shenandoah, S. d. Carlton and two
British ships raced from San Fran
cisco to Liverpool for 81, 900 a side.
The Shenandoah won and the S. d.
Carlton was second. When the
Shenandoah began to load in New
York and the Carlton IN Philadel-
phia for San Francisco, Capt. Ames-
bury of the Carleton challenged
Capt. Murphy, of the Shenandoah,
to another trial of speed for the same
stakes. The Tam O'Shanter was
loading at Baltimore, and Capt. Pea
body put up $4,000 against the 81 900
each put up by the others, that he
would beat them into San Francisco.
In actual time, Capt. Peabody wins
by about three hours, but old sailors
say that two days is nearer the mark
when the long run down Chesapeake
bay is taken into consideration. Both
ships carried all their canvas, as the
run is quick. After rounding the
Horn the Tam O'Shanter and the
Shenandoah were n week in com
pany. During light winds the latter
would forge ahead, but when it be-
gan to blow the Tam O'Shanter
would make up lost time. The crews
of both knew they were on a race,
and took as much interest in the race

SUNDAY CLOSING OF THE WORLDS
FAIR.

1t is predicted that when the sun.
dry civil bill comes back to the
house, the latter will strike out the
provision relating to the closing of
the Columbian exposition on Sunday
and prohibiting the sale of intoxicat.
ing liquors on the exposition grounds.
Much indignation is expressed by in
dividual members of the house over
the action of the senate. 1t is assert
ed that the senate paid mo attention
to the thousands upon thousands of
petitions which have been introduced
in the past three months against the
closing of the fair on Sunday, or to
the circumstances and arguments of
such bodies as the National Turner
bund, which had its representatives
before the committee. The argu-
ment is made that the senate has not
the constitutional right to make pub.
lie expenditures conditional upon
religious observances; that the
churches are not taxed, and therefore
bear no share of the burden of these
expenditures, etc. Another ground
taken is that the loss of Sundays will
cripple the revenues of the exposition
very seriously. A compromise will
probably be effected in conference,
by which the exposition will be al
lowed TO remain open on Sunday,
while the machinery will be stopped,
as proposed by Senator PETER and
others.

POLL TAX AND VOTERS.

The new law in reference to the
payment of poll tax, requires that the
tax shall be paid at least thirty days
prior to a general election in order
to entitle the person paying poll tax
to a vote. Poll tax for this year
must be paid on or before the Sth of
September, in order to qualify the
tax payer to vote at the next election.
In recent opinion the solicitor
general says on the subject:
"In regard to a person being very
old, crippled, diseased and entirely
unable to work, having the right to
vote without paying poll tax, section
SO, cited above, only levies tax on
able-bodied male persons over 81
years of age. But the latter part of
that section expressly prohibits any
person from voting who has not paid
his poll tax. Section 4, of Chapter
n, has the same prohibition. This
tax is collected by suit, and while
the infrm and not able.bodled can
not be compelled to pay the tax, they
can not enjoy the privilege of voting
which its payment confers."

NATIONAL DEMOCRATIC COMMITTEE.

A dispatch from New York City
says: w. f. Harrity, of Pennsyl-
vania, ex-President Cleveland's post
master at Philadelphia, and at pres
ent secretary of state under Gov.
Pattison, has been in town for two
days. He did not herald his visit
and no trumpets have been used to
proclaim his presence. He came to
consult ex-Secretary William @.
Whitney and to ascertain Mr.. Cleve.
lands views concerning the chair
manship of the national committee.
Mr.. Harrity was informed very
plainly that Mr.. Cleveland desired
he should take the place, and that
Mr.. Whitney was in accord with the
ex.president. In fact, Mr.. Cleveland
has all along favored the selection of
Mr.. Harrity, and Mr.. Whltney's
word goes long way with Mr..
Cleveland. Mr.. Harrity demurs at
his selection. His duties as a state
officer might interfere, he argued.
He has also legal practice which he
does not wish to abandon. Mr..
Whitney insists that Harrity shall be
the man. Mr.. Whitney made this
proviso, that he, the ex-secretary,
shall give all the assistance in bis
power. In fact, Mr.. Whitney is to
be the head of the committee.
1t was also agreed that George f.
Parker is to be secretary of the COM
mittee. Mr.. Parker is the gentleman
who for four years has managed the
Cleveland Literary Bureau at 81
Broadway. He is the editor of Mr..
Cleveland's speeches, and on memoir
able occasions he furnished them to
the press. Mr.. Parker was also in
strumental in keeping Mr.. Cleve-
lands name to the front in the south
ern, western and northwestern states.

Waukesha, Wisconsin, is almost in a
state of war. Armed men patrol the
streets day and night, and trouble seems
to be imment. 1t is all about the pro-
ject to pipe the famous spring water from
Waukesha and have it ON tap in Jackson
Park, Chicago. This, the Waukesha
people say, will break up their business
and ruin their town, and they won't
have it. So when the pipeline man
with gang Of laborers appeared to lay
the pipe, he was met by an injunction, a
cannon and 300 men armed with guns
and pistols. He reiterated in good order,
but he says that he is going to lay that
pipe line, and the Waukesha men say
that they will be there to see it.
