learned that another section OF the state

When the committee in charge of the
race decided that the course should be-
gin with lee run to east-northeast be-
fore west-northwest wind, signal was
run up to announce the fact. This was
at II am. The shippers In charge OF
the racers, having accepted the condi-
tions OF the weather and the judgment
OF the committee, began to skirmish for
favorable position above the line. The
preparatory gun was fred sharply at

OF about loo feet between the two yachts.

wind was Blowing at the rate OF about
seven miles an honr, and the cutter kept
on increasing her lead. At the end of a
mile she was good two lengths ahead.
Tho Vslkyrie increased her lead at least
one more lesKth during the first two
miles. From that point up to the dis
tAnce OF four and a halt miles the Vigi-
liant held her own. Then change came.
Suddenly the Vigilsnt caught a slant
wind, although the Valkyrie was not
touched by it, and within Is minutes
sbe was fully quarter OF nile in the
lead. In another quarter of an hour the
American boat not only held her lead.
but increased it to a full mile before she
sailed five miles. About this time the
wind hauled away round to the south
southwest, neceesitating some changes
in the sails. The Valkyrie remained at
her mile distance and could not gain an
inch. Halt an hour later the wind
shifted again, and once more the spin
makers were rigged. The Valkyrie could
not improve her position, but on the
contrary dropped off.

The Valkyrie arrived home almost
eight minutes later. and both were al

Bay Ridge. 1t was magnificent con-
test from naval point of view. and
demonstrated, for the day at least, the
superiority Of the -boarder over

thing lacking, and that was wind.
Never more than light wind prevailed

holding her head at the wind. The
Valkyrie caughta slight wind and picked
up probably quarter of mile.
Up to the end of the course there
was no incident. The Vigilant crossed
the line on the same tack, while Valky-
rie, having sagged away to leewsrd, had
TO 60 about before she could cross.
At the home line the flotilla of excur-
sionists formed crescent. Thousands
OF spectators braved immersion and
clambered to every coigne OF vantage.
They showed joy in their countenances
as the Vigilant crept steadily nearer the
swinging light ship. Their Joy burst it's
bounds aa the brave little Vigilant
dipped gracefully through the waves,
and long before the screaming of the
whistles told that the royal battle was
ended hundred Thousand tongues pre-
claimed in true American record that as
yet the queen of center boarders and
cutters is here and has still the speed
and strength to bear the name OF the
cup defender in reality.

DISABLED VOLUNTEERS.

Statistics Taken from Cen. w. b. Frank
Inns Report on Soldiers Homes.
A Surprising Statement as
to the Gold Cure.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 7.-Chairnan Outh-
waite of the committee on military
affairs presented to tine house this morn
ing the report of the board of managers
OF the national homes for disabled vol
unteer soldiers. General W.. B. Frank
lin, chairman of the board, presents the
following statistics:
The average cost per member for the
year ending June 80, 1892, was $l43.75,
and for 1893, $140.95. The increase in
the average number present during the
year 1892 was 265, and 1893, 465. There
were 80 Tess deaths in 1898 than the
| previous year. Theaverage age Of those
cared form 1892 was 5S.61 years, and in
| 1898, 59. 80 yesrB. The average number
of members present in 1898 was IA ,661 /;
the whole number cared for, %, 460.
The number in state homes was 5501, an
increase of Ill. The national govern
ment's payment to state homes was
$685., 1851. rs. The amount expended for
homes was $z066. o. aside from construc-
ton and repair.
The gold cure for drunkenness was
tried in the homes and all branches with
success, about Id, ,000(?) being reformed.

business has materially increased the
number of inmates in the homes.
The amount appropriated for the year
ending June 80, 1894, was So, SIS, ,563. SO.
The board submits no estimates for the
year 1895, but says the abnormal in
crease for the first three months of the
current year warns the board that the
appropriations for the present year will
be insufficient for next year. The
amount estimated for atate and terri
torial homes is $575. 900, the same as
last year.
The report says: Every year the
losses in membership by discharges and
death are greater than the year pre-
vious, but each year the admissions
more than make up these losses. No
one can tell how long this state OF things
will continue, but there are at this time
100000 persons living who, if they
become unable to support themselves,
will be entitled to admission. Itjs pre-
dicted that the membership will in
crease for some years to come.
[rhe above report makes it appear
that of a total of 23.460 inmates of the
soldiers homes with an AVERAGE attend
ance for the year Of only IA, ,66l, the
gold cure for drunkenness reformed IA
coo. 1t seems incredible that SO large a
per cent OF the old soldiers should have
been addicted to the drink habit, hut in
qniry of the Associated Press confirms
the figures. 1t is just possible, though,
that an extra cipher got added to the
number inadvertently, and that General
Franklin intended to cay in his report
that 1400 instead of $4,000. veterans in
the soldiers homes were reformed by
the gold cure.-Ed.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 7.-Secretary Car.
Isle made visit to the senate wing Of
the capitol this afternoon. His visit
created mild sensation, as the seereta-
ry had just come from conference with
the president, and it was naturally sup
posed that he had some important meg
sage. He spent two hours in conference
with various Democratic senators, among
others Voorhees, and Harris.
The report was soon in circulation thar
be was sent as the presidents repre-
sentative to arrange the terms of an
agreement with the opposing forces of
the Democratic ranks in the Senate, and
there were senators ready to name the
terms which he offered. Inquiry, how
ever, developed the fact that they were
merely dealing in surmises. The pur-
poses of the secretary's visit seems to
have been just the opposite of those at
tributed to him. Senator Vance told
representative OF the Associated Press
that Carlisle had gone to the capitol for
the purpose of preventing compromise,
and Senator Voorhees, virtually con-
frned the statement.
After the conference with Carlisle, Vor-
hees eaid to an Associated Press repre-
sentative that the administration forces
had no compromise to suggest or ask,
and they were still determined to make
the fight on the old lines; that Wednes-
day night sessions would be begun that
he had assurances that there would bs
a quorum of the repeal senators on
hand that they would remain until the
bill could be disposed of, and there
would be no adjournment until it
should be passed.
1t would seem, therefore, if there
were to be compromise, it could not
come until alter the night session was
tried. It is but fair to say there are
very few repeal senators as Banguine of
success in night sessions, or of the suc-
cess of the bill in its present shape, as
is Voorhees,. A large majority Of the
senators assert that the bill cannot be
passed except in modified form, and
others agree with Senator Manderson in
the assertion that il no compromise is
reached recess of the senate until De-
cember will he necessary, which would
virtually mean the abandonment Of the
bill.
Senator Carey, who has not 80 far
identified himself with either side, said
tonight the inevitable result OF the
night session experiment would be an
agreement upon a compromise bill.

its value could be restored by the legis-

Allen did not admit that there was
