The Race For the Cup.

The contest between England and the
United States for the Americas cup be
gins to-day, and it promises to be an in
tensely interesting one. Seven times
England's yachtmen have tried to capture
the cup and seven times they have failed
viii they fail again2 1t is to be hoped
so, though it is said if they do it will be
long time before England Will try again
for the cup Forty-two years ago the
cup was captured from England and dur
ing all those years it has been easily held
against all contestants, clearly demon
strating the supriority of American
yachts.
Lieutenant Hem, the owner of the
Galatea, says the Valkyrie ought to
to be permitted to win the cup for the
reason that the winning of it would
stimulate yachting, and yacht building.
If the Valkyrie, he says, should carry the
cup to England the yachtmen of this
country would never rest until they had
built yacht that could recapture the
cup and bring it back to this country.
But if the Valkyrie should be permitted
to capture the cup the fact would be
known that she did not win it, and hence
her owner would feel no satisfaction in
having the prize. He would not return to
England as victor. He would be told by
his English friends on his return that his
prize was not worth having on the terms
on which he obtained it; in fact, it is
doubtful if Lord Dunraven would accept
it unless he won it fairly and squarely
No, Lieutenant Henn's suggestion is not
a wise one. If the Englishman gets the
cup he must win it, His boat must prove
herself to be the faster sailer.
There is not much ground for the fear
that if England fails to win this time in
ternational yacht racing will be. practic-
ally abandoned. Englishmcn have too
much pride to acknowledge themselves
beaten in field in which they still be-
lieve they are without superior

And time dragS slowly by.

And ii is quite a grief to me
To find she isn't there.

Thank heaven, she's back once more!

From the New York Times GndJ.
There is much in the railroad situation at

mills but recently closed to reopen; ii has en-
couraged capitalists to put fresh capital into

the interior to make preparation to replenish
their scanty stocks, and il has encouraged
the crop producers Of the west and south to

WAUGH ON PENSIONS.
Methods of Smith and Lochren Critf-
cised by the Judge.

clse0 by the Judge.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, Oct 81 have no idea
that this Congress will pass any pension
bills, excepting possibly a very few pri-
vate measures which will be so palpably
meritorious that the Democratic majority
will not dare to refuse action" said Rep
resentative Waugh of the Ninth Indiana
district, to the Journal correspondent to-
day. Judge Waugh is very indignant over
the refusal of the House committee on in
valid pensions to take up for consideration
any of the hundreds of bills before it. He
believes that Chairman Martin must be
acting under a general understanding or
instructions from the Interior Department
that there shall be no pension legislation in
this Congress. Judge Waugh continued:
so far not a single bill has been reported
from the invalid pensions committee, and
really don't know that the committee has
had formal business meeting. 1 intend,
soon as opportunity is offered, to intro
duce resolution directing the Secretary
OF the Interior or Commissioner of Pen
sicnS to furnish all pensioners with a copy
OF the instructions given for the investiga-
ton OF their pensions. L believe that when
a pensioner is placed upon the list of sus-
poets, and an order is issued for investiga-
ton, that he should be notified of the fact
and also of what there is about his pen
sion that is suspicious. / don't believe in
this thing Of dropping pensioners from the
rolls upon mere rumorS or SlanderouS
statements, nor do / believe that it is just
TO a pensioner to drop him from the rolls
or investigate him without his knowing
what the charges are. If this pension bust
ness is to be conducted honestly and fairly
no harm can come of a full knowledge of
what Is being done doht pellewe any one one
ALLEGED offense committed. 1t is wrong to
convict one and drop him from the rolls

RAILWAY ACCIDENTS
Seven Persons Killed and Many
Injured Near Kankakee, Ill.
An Illinois Central Fast Train Wrecked
by Running Into Freight
Other Casualties.

KANKAKEE, ILL.,, Oct 2O.-Another hor-
rible wreck occurred at midnight on the
Illinois Central railroad at Otto Junction,
four miles south of Kankakee in which it
is reported seven persons were killed and
about as many badly injured. The north
bound fast mail crashed into the Pontiac
district freight as the latter was rounding
the ''Y'' from Kankakee, preparatory to
coming to this city on the main line of the
Illinois Central.
The only information obtainable at this
hour g NO. is that given above. The
Texas sleeper was on the train, and it is
thought the dead and wounded are in that.
The place where the accident occurred is a
desolate locality. with no houses in the i'm
mediate vicinity.
At O. clock a relief train with a working
crew and physicians was sent out from
Kankakee. 1t is thought a misplaced switch
was the cause of the accident, as the
double track of the Illinois Central begins
at Otto Junction and ends in Chicago.
The wrecked train consisted of mail
car with four clerks a baggage car, two
day coaches and Texas sleeper. The ILL.,

Information whatever. Superintendent

Another dispatch says: Reports are very
meager, but all agree that seven persons
were killed outright and fifteen to twenty
injured. 1t would seem from the prepara-
tions made by the railroad company for re-
lief that the wreck is worse one than re-
ported. The train was going TO Chicago
and had just reached the station when
freight on the southwestern branch pulled
from the branch onto the main line.
The express crashed into it starting.
1t is not known who is to blame for the
accident. The country is level and clear.
Owing to limited facilities for getting
news it is impossible to give names of
the killed and injured.

Illinois Central people had asked permits
sion to run their trains over the Big Four
tracks from Kankakee to Sheldon, where
connections could be made with another
line that ran to the Illinois Central track
south of the place where the accident hap
pened. The Big Four official knew nothing
about the wreck, as it occurred south of
Kankakee; not on that portion Of the tracks

recommend that these complaints be dis
