cast and foggy. Later on it cleared away
the wind during the morning being very
titful and uncertain. The blow part OF
the time was only Six knots per hour,
but at the hour of starting it was eigh-
teen knots.
The crowd of sightseers was large as
the one Saturday. A lady seen on
board the Valkyrie was supposed to be
Lady Duraven. There was a long swell
on the sea and many sightsesrs felt
pangs of seasickness.
The preparatory gun was fred at
11:15, the starting gun five minutes
later. Both yachts were carrying minsail
foresail, iib and club topsail. At 124S
both tackled. The Valkyrie came about
beautifully. At 1880 p. IN. the yachts
were nearing the first stake boat. The
Valkyrie was fully mile behind.
HOW IT WAS DONE.
The Vigilant rounded the stake both
on the starboard tack, heading south
west. the breeze freshening.
At 12:10 the Vigilant TO begen creep
up inch by inch on her rival. Ten
minus later the wind was strong and
the Vigilant, gaining rapidly, passed
the Britisher and at 1890 was an eighth
of mile ahead and still gaining.
At 1910 the wind freshened still
more. The British claim has been that
they wanted heavy wind to show what
they could do but the Vigilant beat
the VaIkyrie on the wind as badly as
on Saturday. She beat her before the
wind. Great enthusiasm prevails in
the feet.
New YORK, 1:15 p. m.-Both yachts
have have balloon jibs set. The Vigllant
is fairly flying on the dead run to lee
ward on second leg, apparently incfeas-
ing the gain. At 1:35, both yachts fare
standing to eastward. The Vigilant
seems to be increasing her lead.
New YORK, 81 p. m.-The Vigilant
has rounded the second stake boat
having covered the ten miles of the
second leg in fifty-one minutes. The
Valkyrie rounded stake boat in a haze
so the time of her rounding cannot be
given.
New YORK, POI p. m.-The Valkyrie
is now out of the haze and both are on
the home stretch. The Valkyrie is two
miles astern. Vigilant wins, crossing
the line at $50.
The Valkyrie crossed the line at 1902
BRUNSWICK, Ga, Oct. 9.-Twenty six
new cases of yellow fever were reported
today and four deaths.
SAN Francisco, Oct 9-The sky is
clear, enabling solar eclipse to be
observed. The time of the greatest
observation here was II 40. The partial
loss of sunlight was plainly noticeable
but the eclipse did not attract very
general interest. All observers on
the coast, including Lick observatory
at Mount Hamilton, are taking
accurate observation of phenomenon.
CLAY CENTER, Kans., Oct. "a bad
twelve miles west of Kansas City, at
Keats. A failure to deliver orders
caused a collision between freight and
passenger trains. The mail car was
burned, the mail clerk is dead, the
engineer was killed and the fireman of
the passenger train badly hurt.
WASHINGTON, Oct. 10.-Squires, of
the state of Washington, this morning
introduced in the senate an amendment
to the silver bill calculated to embrace
about everything demanded by both
sides of the question.
FOR MEXICAN VETERANS.

month.
THE TUCKER BILL PASSES,
WASHINGTON, Oct 10.-The Tucker bill
repeating the federal election laws
passed the house by vote of twenty
to one. The bill passed by strict party
vote.
After Squire's amendment to the
silver bill was presented the senate went
unto executive session to discuss Chi
nese registration. When the doors were
reopened, Hill, of New York, presented
a petition by $1,000 merchants of New
York asking unconditional repeal of the
Sherman law.
The repeal bill was then taken up.
Nc Pherson of New Jersey spoke in
favor of the bill, and complimented the
president on his prompt action IN
calling congress together. He COUNSEL
ed the senate to take his advice. Cooke
rell, OF Missouri, resumed his argument
in opposition, and said any international
agreement with the governments of
Europe was impossible.
BoUTELLE ON EX-CoNFEDERATEs.
Boutelle, in his speech against the
Tucker bill, said:
"Every democratic speech has dem
onstrated that this is a blow at the
fundamental principles underlying the
government. L thought the new gener-
alton would join hands with US in build
ing up the common country. For ten
days the she ted ghosts of the confed-
eracy have fitted about these halls and
gibbered of defeated conspiracy. The
vice-presid ut of the United States has
been accused of undue sympathy with
your struggle to capsize the govern
ment, yet you do not complain that not
a union soldier sits about the cabinet
table" Republican applause
Boutelle then went on to take up the
records of the democratic senate COM
mittees, beginning with President pro-
tenn Harris, showing that almost without
an exception they had served IN the
confederate army. He than reviewed
the committees in the house, from the
speaker down to the committee Oh pen
sions, showing how they were dominat-
ed by ex-confederates.
Il clare here now On my responsible
lily as representative" he said, ''that no
more mischievous doctrine, no more
deadly blows at our institutions, at the
essence of the nationality of our coun-
try can be dealt than by the denial of
right of this imperial government to
cross the borders of a sovereign state.
