according to the sentence of the court
martial which tried him.
From first to last Palas refused the

their exhortations. laughed at their pic
lures of the future state of the unTepent-
ant, and marched to the place of execution
singing a n anarchist song. as if to drown
the words of the holy fathers Of the church
The execution took place in an inclosure
near the Castle of Monljuich. A large
body of troops of all arms formed three
sides of square, facing the death wall
against which Pallas was placed. Outside
the line of troops crowds of people were
gathered, though not as great as it would
execution had not been announced in ad-
vance, with the view of preventing an
opportunity for PalIas' anarchist friends
plotting a dynamite outrage in connection
with it. The preliminaries being arranged
the firing squad was drawn up, guns loaded
and Pallas placed against the wall, his
back to the firing squad. a sharp order
and as the commanding officers sword
flashed downward y0ley rang out and
Pallas fell forward, dead.
Then the body was lifted up, the troops

blunder on the part of Vigilant.

dangerous rival than she appeared before.

by Vigilant in a drifting match and in
heavy weather. but in light sea and light
wind Valkyrie might beat Vigilant
"Vgilant was all right" said her former
captain, Charles Barr of Navahoe, "but
the wind was all wrong. and perhaps her
handlers were a bit slow or lacking in
judgment. In windward work. though, is
was self-eyident, boat for boat Valkyrie
was the better of the two. On the other
hand, Vigilant proved in just such
weather and running dead before wind
that she could drift along little faster"
What do you think of the merits of the
two boats? Would you bet tnow on Vigilant
in stiff breeze without such sea-"
Yes. Otherwise l would back VAL

the organization of Tammany Hall in
bitter terms. English Of Now Jersey sup
ported the bill. and Amos Cummings of
New York followed. "These laws" he
said, "were the result of party necessity.
not Of national needs. They were passed
not to preserve the purity of the ballot

Gessenhainer Of New Jersey detailed
the result of the Investigations into the
operation of these laws in New York by a

of the committee was that the laws were
bad because no convictions were secured :;
but they placed too much power in the

clear, with strong breeze anG heavy sea.
The prevailing will be from the south
west. There will undoubtedly be good
yachting wind, and all yachtsmen hope
there will be a race and well-contested
one.
The talk among yachtsmen to-day was
of course entirely of the attempted race
on Thursday and the coming one to-mor-
row. 1t was the general opinion among
those competent to judge that the contest
of Thursday proved nothing.
There was also decided opinion that
the performances Of the Valkyrie In the
drifting match had made American yachts
men tri1e nervous. The fact that
the Valkyrie passed ahead of the Vigiant
on Thursday is easily explained. but the
explanations are like those of the reporter
who fails to get the story he is sent Tor.
However valid they are they leave doubt
of his ability.
The appearance of the two boats also
was calculated to give yachtsman of the
impressionist school anything but a COM

Everybody did his duty and did 1t well.
Had Valkyrie been where we were the
same thing would have happened her as
happened to the Vigilant.

always liable to happen in yachting and
which cannot be forseen or avoided. The
Valkyrie carried the last Of the northerly
