THEY DID NOTHING.
The Senate Finance Committee Dis- cussed the Silver Question, Hut Reached No Decision.

The Senate Finance Committee Dis-
 cussed the Silver Question, Hut
 Reached No Decision.
 WAsH1NaToN, Aug. 10.-The democrats in the St nate Go not propose being forced
 by the republicans into nasty action upon
 the silver question, and have resolved that no forward step shall be taken until they
 have agreed among themselves upon plan
 of action that shall secure the support of
 the united party. So when ths finance committee came together this morning for
 the first time this session Chairman Voor-
 heee who had issued the call, announced
 that the majority wished to meet and die cuss and agree upon line of action, and
 therefore desired that the silver question
 should not be brought forward at the meet
 ing.
 By next Tuesdays meeting he hoped the
 subject would be in order.
 The republican members of the commit tee, save Senator Jones of Nevada, who stayed in the room only few moments after learning of his mothers death, ex- pressed their dissatisfaction at this pro gram and announced that they were ready at once to proceed to discussion and action
 as the president had called attention to the
 need for speedy legislation. But as they
 realized that a simple expression of the wish Of the majority was equivalent 10 8
 formal motion which would undoubtedly
 prevail, they made no further resistance to
 Mr Voorhees, suggestion, and the silver question was relegated to next week, 30 far as the finance committee is concerned. In order that time might not be alto gether wasted, however, the committee took up and discussed the proposition to allow the national banks to issue circula- tion to the full face value of the bonds de- posted in the treasury, instead of limiting 1t to 90 per cent. of the value of the bonds as at present. It was urged that the result of this legislation would be more imme- diately beneficial than any other that had been suggested, ss it would add large sum to the money in circulation ss quickly as the notes could be printed.
 It was made clear that for the first time
 in many years there is possibility of | legislation favorable to national banks in the line indicated, for, although no vote was taken, the discussion appeared to in- dicate leaning towards the measure by g ! majority of the committee. The present ! danger, however, lies in an attempt to cum,
 Der the bill with amendments that will in. volve the whole silver question and pre-
 vent a disposition of the measure on its own merits.

CUP DEFENDERS RACE.

The VigiIant and Jubilee Try Con-
 cIusioRs in the Run From New
 London ro Newport-The Vfg1lant
 Crossed she Line a Winner, but
 General Paine Is Not Discouraged.
 NEWPORT, R. l., Aug. 10.-Interest in the New York Yacht clubs run from New London this morning was greatly augment ed by the arrival of the Vigilant from City leland with her new spars. This meant race for the Jubilee and sport for the steam yachtsmen of the fleet, who had not seen much racing thus far and were disposed to vote this a dull cruise. The wind was south hsouthwest when the preparatory signal was given and third of the fleet had gone ahead through Fishers Island sound with the tide behind them.
 Jubilee crossed the line promptly after the start for her class was signalled, and about two minutes ahead of Vigllant. Both boats were on starboard tack under main sail, working foresail, jib, gaf topsail and small jibtopsail. The smaller sloops cross ed as follows: Uvira, Hildegarde, Huron, Katrina, Bedouin, Wasp, Mariauita, Queen Nab, Jessies, Oracle, Lymph, Carmits, Bonnie Kate, Wayward, Rosalind, Clara, Eclipee, Lascs. Ariel, Msydower, Elmer aid, Jsgmar, Nears, Marguerite, Dauntless aud Atlantic were leading schooners. The others were handicapped with Montauk in the rear just behind Alcaes. Marguerite was sailing faster than before this year. Jubilee footed faster than Vigilant, and as both sloops fetched by Race Rock the wind shifted little towards the east.
 The Vigilant put on more cloth in the shape of her big jib topsail, and Jubilee followed suit. Half way to Watch Hill the Vigilant seemed to close up little, and both boats set their balloon jibtopsails as the wind freshened from the southwest again. Vigilant did not move as fast as Jubilee in the light wind of the start. Lsscs, Msyfiower, Wasp and 8 greater part of the fleet had to tack around Race rock.
 Vigilant and Jubilee could not have watched each other closer If they had been sailing for the cup. The start was one gun start, and no crew could have made greater effort to overcome its handicap than did the Vigilsnt's. Of Point Judith the big sloops set spinnakers for the run into Dumplings and the finish of their forty-mile run. Vigilant was yet in the rear, but her handicap was soon to give her vantage over General Paine's veteran sagaoity. A succession of blanketings finally gave Vigilant the lead as she came up behind Jubilee and finished over a l minute ahead of her Boston rival. Meas | urement and allowance are factors to be considered.
 Constellation maintained her good rec ord in the big schooner class and sailed 8 great race. Commodore Morgan received the captains of the yachts and their guests at Beacon Rock this evening. With the | Nab. Wasp and Carmita in the sloop race | will be very exciting and the new schoon- CTS promise to make warm fight for Cap
 tain Ogden Goelet's cup for two stickers.

 NEW HAVEN YACHTS AT THE NEWPORT
 RACES.
 NEWPORT, R. l., Aug. 10.-The three yachts of the New Haven Yacht club who made the run to this port to-day from New London with the New York Yacht club made an especially good record in the races The Phantom, Commodore Parmelee's schooner, easily walked away with her old rival, the Sperapzs; the Viola beat out the Valkyre, Wizard, the crack racer Kathleen and three fast English cutters, while the Diana covered herself with glory by going by six of the seven fast schooners of her class, ranked as the best in the New York Yacht club fleet.

GENERAL PAINE CONFIDENT.
He Believes That the Jubilee is Su
 perfor 10 the vigilant.

He Believes That the Jubilee is Su-
 perfor 10 the Vigilant.
 NEW YORK, Aug. 10.-A Newport, R. l., despatch says: The only drawback to the result of the race between the Vigilant and the Jubilee to-day is the fact that no man Is yet prepared to say which is the better boat. As neither boat has been officially measured and the start was a single gun one, the, relative speed of the racers re- mains still mystery. General Paine is confident that the Jubilee is superior to the vigilant on every point, and MT. 1selin holds that the Vigilant is superior to the Jubilee.
 In the run through Fishers Island sound the Jubilee seemed to outfoot the Vigilant, and by the time they were abreast of Race Rock the Boston boat had put nearly e mile of clear water between them. The breeze was not strong enough to give any idea of their stiffness in carrying sail, but the general impression among experts was that the Jubilee was the quicker boat in every movement. After passing through the tide race the wind hauled alittle to the southward and the Vigilant seemed to pick up her antagonist.
 / By the time they reached Point Judith the wind freshened and drew still further of, The racers were now almost bow and bow, and the Vigilant would first blanket the Jubilee and then fall astern again. This was done several times until Nara gansett Pier was abeam, when the Yigilant for no tangible reason ran ahead and main tained the lead until the finish.

InocuIation With ErysipeIas Pro.
 duces Unlocked for Results.
 NEW YORK, Aug. 10.-A patient in the cancer hospital accidentally became inoc- ulated with the virus of erysipelas several weeks ago. As the disease progressed it was noticed that the patients cancerous condition improved.
 This fact suggested to Dr. William T. Bull the advisability of inoculating other patients with the poison of erysipelas. Accordingly several cases were set apart and experiments were carried out The inoculations were made not only on patients with carcinoma Commonly known as cancer) but also on others who were suf fering from sarooms, which is 8 much more malignant form of tumor than the ordinary cancer. The results in both forms were very satisfactory.
 For inoculating purposes pure culture of the streptococcus was used. Of the cases of carcinoma about 25 per cent. were reported cured, while in tho sarcomatous cases the results were even better, showing as many as 40 per cent. of those experi- mented upon to have become we'll and free after the attack of erysipelas.

DISSIPATION IN THE RANKS.

There Is a Break in the silver Forces,
 So Says MT. Washburne, and the
 Producers Advocate n Compromise
 Measure.
 WASHINGTON, Aug. 10.-George F. Washburne of the peoples party stated to- night that & break in the silver forces had occurred. The cause is that the producers are advocating compromise measure on a ratio of 20 to l, which the populists claim is an abandonment of principle for selfah ends. Mir. Washburne said:
 "Our fight Is for the free and unlimited coinage of silver and gold on e ratio of 16 to ], because 1t Is the money of the coup- try on which our bonds were issued. Twenty to one would benefit the silver producers alone, and would not help the farmers and wage esrners by increasing the price of products, which 6 ratio of I6 to would do. A ratio of 20 to l would increase the debts of our country fully one-fourth. At & conference to day the populists decided to stand for 16 to to the end, believing that the repeal of the Sherman act is preferable to change of ratio."
 Senator German of the democratic eau GUS has appointed Senators Cockrell, Ran som, Blackburn, Villas, Gray, White of Louisiana and Wslthall 8 committee to ar- range plan of campaign for the prosecu- tion of the work of the senate.

 The general hardness of the times and scarcity both of money and employment Is nowhere made manifest to greater extent than at the local recruiting office. Usually during the summer months business Is very fiat at the recruiting station, but this month has been phenomenal one here. During the first nine days of this month the officers at the recruiting station have been kept more than busy. Thirteen re- crui.s have been enlisted and thirty six applicants rejected. Nearly every one of the applicants stated that they wanted to enlist in the army owing to the financial depression and the inability to secure em- ployment in any other line of business. h consequence of the present depression these men are enlisting as r'cruits in the United States army at the muni6cent re- muneration of SIS per month and board.
