official times OF rounding were:
Vigilant, 2:05:3T; Jubilee, 2;l2:2Q; Colonia,

were both quicker with these sails,
although the latter's spinnakcr broke out
poorly. and her balloon jib did not work
properly.
Pilgrim was virtually out of the race,
and she broke the jaws OF her gaff and her
club. but the damage will be repaired and
she will be In today's race. Colonia
gained 10 seconds upon Jubilee, aud Jubi-
lee gained two minutes and 20 seconds on

This was the result of deviation OF Co.

to the northward Of Brcton's Reef light
ship and had furl her light balloon jib-
topsail and spinnaker and gybe her main
boom to fetch by ut ALL She clearly out

Jubilee also carried away the jaws OF

The Free Coinage Majority Still Holds
Firm In Congress.
TOM JOHNSON AND sIBLEY.
Many Representatives willing to Vote for
tho White Metal at Ratio Of 20 10 L.
The Administration Afraid to force
. Democratic Split.


WASHINGTON, Aug. 1s.-The situation
here Is not encouraging for those in fav.r
of the unconditional repeal OF the Sher-
man law.
A careful canvass OF the situation made
by members OF both the hou.e OF repre-
scntatives and senate thus summarizes
the situation. In the house the proposi-
tion to epeal the Sherman law aud free
coinage of silver a lot, would undcubt-
edly be defeated by small majority.
The proposition OF repeal of the Sherman
law, coupled with free coinage Of Ameri-
can silver at ratio of 20 TO !, will. it Is
believed by those wbo ought to know,
pass the house by small majority.
III this be true, the unconditional re-
peal men have no reason to feel sure Of
the house OF Representatives, unless they
make gains during he next few days.
In the senate there would appear o be
an unquestioned majority of from 5 to o
for free coinage OF silver at ratio OF
10 to1.
III the house should pass such n bill rs
above Indicated 1t would probably be
amended by striking out American silver
and put through The senate at one, ! his
done. President Cleveland will be afforded
an opportunity 10 sign sacn measur.
or allow The Sherman act TO Stand.
The amendment most feared by the
anti-silv,r men is the one favoring fr, g
'oinage at the ratio of twenty to one. The
danger to be apprehended at this point is
the fact that st least thirty Republicans
will vote tor free coinage at the ratio
named.

SPECIAL TO THE NEWS.
WAsHINGToN, Aug. lS-In the house
this morning the silver debate was re-
sumed. Congressman Siblsy made a
speech favoring bimetallisna.
Tom johnson then spoke on his
inter-convertlb BILE bond proposition. The

plan, but brief resume of it made by
CONGRESSMAN johnson may be of interest.

There would be no les, OF the selling

vICILANT.

The four new sloops were working
easily under mainsals, foresails, iibs and
club-topsails. The course was signale3
and at l1:25 the preparatory signal was
made.
Jubilee adopted her old tactics and ran
back from the front OF the line. Jubilee
was the first boat to windward, with
Pilgrim passing through her lee and
Colonia behind them, with Vigilant in the
rear.
All the yachts had been on the starboard
tack when they crossed, but Pilgrim con-
cluded, q few miles out, TO split tacks and
make long stretch over behind Vigilant.
vigiiant's Great Work.
vigilant was doing great sailing and her
Jails set like boards, being far better than
Colonia's or Jubilee's in this respect.
Vigilant was we'll to windward and Jubilee
could hardly have split tacks and come
about ahead of her.
Jubilee was yet leading but Vieilant
was hauling on s.r and sailing so fast that
Colonia, seeing that she was being bested,
split tacks with her sister wonder. Vigi-
liant then tackled and Jubilee also tackled
and stuck to her boats. Pilgrim was still
on the port tack, away off to leeward.
Vigilant us the boats came into their
new position on the port tack, was out
pointing Jubilee and Colonia, although to
leeward of Jubilee, and outfooting them
both. Pilgrim stood in shortly after on
the starboard tack and crossed Colonias
bow at i245. but was over 200 yards astern
Of Vigilant.
At 1880 Pilgrim came about and was
probably the Second boat, with Jubilee
very close to her and Vigilant but little
ahead. Her tactics had been successful.
She had been the leeward boat at the start
and was now TO windward OF one boat and
ahead Of two.
Pilgrim Outfooted.
At 1:07 Vigilant came about on the port
tack, followed by Colonia three minutes
later. Vigilant crossed both Pilgrim and
Jubilee, and Colonia passed Pilgrim, but
Jubilee luffcd.
AS the boats beat down TO the mark
later, tacks brought the Jubilee in ahead
OF tho Colonia, while the vigilant was
constantly increasing her lead. The
Vigilants windward work was Of the first
order, and her handling showed plenty Of
good seamanship and judgment. She had
no flukes, did not overstand on single
tack, as did the Jubilee aud Coionia, and
she outpointed the feet
The Colonia pus on her little iibtopsail
again to help her out with the Jubilee,
but the Boston boat had her. although the
Colonia lesscned her lead from two min
utes to less than a minute by the time
they reached the outer mark.
