THE FEDERAL ELECTION LAW
WIN Probably BE Repealed Before Daven-
mort Can Get HIS Gaze Into Court.

WASHINGTON, d. c., September a.
One of the first efforts OF the Demo-
cratic Congress will be directed TO
secure the repeal OF the Federal cleo
tion law, under which John L. Daven-
port, Of New York, had made such
reputation as supervisor OF the
election. Senator Hill, OF New
York, has taken the initiative
in this matter in the Senate
and General Black, of Illinois, ex-Com-
missioner Of Pensions and now mem
Der OF Congress, has prepared bill TO
the same purport for introduction In the
House. Senator Hill has made such
substantial progress that he has secured
the consideration of his bill by the Sen
ate COmmiltee on Judiciary, and day
or two ago the measure was ordered to
be reported 10 the Senate, with the
recommendation that il be passed. Sena-
tor HIPS bill is very brief and is as fol-
lows;
That title twenty-six OF the Revised
Statutes Of the United States (being
sections twenty hundred and two TO
twenty hundred and thiTty-one, both
inClusiye) entitled therein the elective
franchise and generally known as the
federal election law, is hereby repealed;
but this shall not affect any proceeding
or prosecution now pending for any
offense under the said sections, or
either of them"
The bill prepared by General Black,
OF Illinois, is practically in the same
words aud totally abolishes federal Su-
pervlslon Of elections, incidentally also
abolishing the Office OF Federal Super
visor Of Elections, and thus throwing
John !. Davenport, Of New York, out
of a vocation. The Democrats, in their
fight 70 secure the repeal OF this law,
do not expect 10 encounter serious op-
position either in the House or Senate,
and they appear TO be assured that the
measure is one which will secure imme-
diate approval by President Cleveland.
Senatar Hill and General Black and
the other Democratic leaders who are
preparing to secure a prompt repeal of
thiS election law, are receiving very
substantial encouragement from the ad-
ministratIon. Under the direction OF
Secretary OF the Treasury John q. Car
Isle, the postmaster Of the city OF New
York has just elected Supervisor llaVen-
port from his Office in the postotfce
building and has barred the door in
snch a manner as TO prevent the federal
supervisor or his assistants ever again
securing entrance.
1t is believed that Davenport will ap-
peal to the courts 70 decide the right OF
the administration to eject him from
the offices heretofore occupied In the
New York postoflice building, but IL is
expected by the Democrats that before
he can possibly secure any favorable ac-
tion In the courts the bill will have
passed both houses Of Congress and
have ceen signed by the President re-
pealing in toto the section Of the law
creating federal supervisor OF cleo
tlons, and under which Mr.. Davenport
has operated for many years.

To Admit Foreign ship. to Registry.

WASmNGTON, D. G., September g.
Congressman George w. Flthian, OF
Illinois, the new Chairman of the Com
mittee on Merchant Marine and Fisher
les, has prepared bill which will re-
ceiye favorable report from his
committee, providing for the free
admission 10 American registry OF ships
built in foreign countries. The position
which Congressman Fithisn and a ma
jority OF his committee will take is that
IL is folly to attempt to restore our mer-
chant marine by government bounties,
and that the only manner in which the
flag OF the United States can secure It's
fair share Of the growing trade Of the
world is TO admit free to American reg
istry ships built In foreign countries.

Elections In France.

PARIS, September 3.-The country
was in state OF excitement to-day over
the second ballots which were taken for
members OF the Chamber Of Deputies.
The campaign which has been under way
for two weeks has become more active
and has resulted In additional violence
with each succeeding day. The day
the first ballots were taken was marked
by numerous duels and the clashing OF
opposing crowds, and all sorts Of elec-
tion lodges were resorted to In order to
win over votes.
There were 164 second ballots to be
taken. The returns began to come In
at in the evening. Among the first
news was the defeat Of NJ. Floquet,
formerly President Of the Chamber OF
Deputies, NJ. Fabrot, Socialist, being
elected In his district by a vote OF 4.399
against 1927 for NJ. Floquet.
NJ. Floquet waged more active cam
paign than his opponent did, but the
mixture Of his name with the Panama
Canal scandals proved an effective force
to defeat him. He had also to contend
with opponents who resorted to the most
violent, INSCRIPTIONS methods to beat
him. They broke up his meetings,
smashed the chairs and tables In the
meeting halls and put out the lights. A
few days ago q crowd pelted NJ. Floquet
with stones as he was leaving meet
ing hall, and when he fed some one
fred revolver at him.
At IL o'clock intense excitement was
caused by the news OF the defeat OF
NJ. Clemsnceau, in whose campaign in
terest was chiefly centred. The returns
with the figures OF only six communes
wanting, showed $3.50 votes for Nj.
Jourdan, and 8.219 for Clemenceau.
In the department OF Var, M. Goblet
is elected by a vote of 9,052, against
3,952 for NJ. Hurzetay. M. Laguerro,
Boulangist, was defeated by M. Cbau-
Were, Socialist. Around IL o'clock
the police stopped traffic on certain OF
the streets and boulevards.
As each result was shown on trans
parencies In front OF the newspaper
offices, there were rivals by sections OF
the crowd. NJ. Floquet's defeat was
received with cheers by thousands.
1t vas midnight when the announce
ment OF Ciemenceau's certain defeat
was received and the news increased
the excitement Of the multitude. The
returns then showed that S5 Republi-
cans, 9 Conservatives and 4 Rallied
Right candidates had been elected. In
dicating a gain for the Republicans OF
ten seats.
M. ClemeEceau was defeated oy you
votes. the figures neine; M' Jouroan'
o.44O: NJ. Clemencealt s'4so;
M Nauquot, Republican, has been re-
elected.

4 Good Crowd at the Opening of the
 First Days Meeting of the Gentle
 men's Driving club.
 HARTFORD, June 20.-There was a good crowd at the opening of the four days meeting at the Gentlemen's Driving Club park this afternoon, and despite the h. tense heat the sport was enjoyed. At the end of the first heat of the 2;50 class 1t was hinted that the driver of Colonel WAS pulling" the horse snd Sandy" Andrus, who was up, was replaced by Longworthy, who handled the horse much better. At the conclusion of the race Andrus was fined $25. and the judges voted to give Longvorthy $30 for his good work Colonel was the fayorite and won easily with Long worthy behind him.
 In the 2:29 class Stanley was backed by many, and his poor work was dissppoint- ment. Considerable money was dropped on him. 0skwood won handily In the 2:SS class local race. and was the fsvorite In the pool box.

It is quickly perceived from this table that the average race of the last few years has been almost, If not quite. as slow as that of the earlier seasons. The first nine years show no record SO poor ss that of 1855, while the fastest time of all, 20 min utes 10 seconds, made in 1888. was rather closely approached in 1878, 1882, 1884 and 1886. In spite of all the careful coaching and the long preliminary training on New Haven hsrbor and the Charles river, the average time for the last five years, some thing over twenty one ninutes-is below four previous records. Some allowance must be made for differing conditions of wind and water from year to year, but even then there does not appear to have been any remarkable speed developed since the seventies or early eighties.
