THE EAGLE SCREAMS.

New YORK, Oct. 13.-The Ameri-
can eagle screached long and loud to-
day when the peerless yacht Vigilant
defeated the English yacht Valkyrie
for the third time, and the Americas
cup will remain in this country for a
while at least. Valkyrie led in the
early part of the race, but Vigilant
passed her near the finish and won
by a scant margin.
Of course, iu view of the failure Of
British Valkyrie to make showing,
amounting TO anything, against Amer
ican Vigilant, there was plenty OF
room on the excursion boats when
they began heading down the bay
after the yachts. The leaden sky was
dark, cyclonic hints Of old shellbacks
kept many ladies away, but the regu-
lar enthusiasts were out as usual,
armed with yachting caps and marine
opera glasses, resolved to see if the
cup challenger would behave any bet
ter today with her increased ballast.
An extra ton of lead ballast placed

necessitated her remeasurement by
Official Measurer Hyslop of the New
York yacht club. Before the extra
lead was placed inside the Valkyrie

seconds; with the additional weight
and lower sitting IN the water the
vigiant only allowed the Valkyrie l

The weather and other conditions
were all that the most enthusiastic
yachtman could have desired for the
final race of the series between the
"white-winged" champions of Ameri-
can patriotism and British plide.
Lord Dunraven's incessant petition
for more wind had apparently been
answered, for when the signal to start
was given a heavy wind was blowing
straight out from the shore at the
rate OF twenty-four miles an hour,
which increased to twenty-seven in
short time. The race was as close
and exciting as could have been wish
ed and gave the gallant Vigilant her
first hard earned victory over an op-
ponent which had therefore proven
only too weak an atagonist. The ves-
sells started on their final race at 1907
p. m.
At o'clock the Valkrie was in the
lead with the Vigilant creeping stead
lily up, before strong wind, and gain
ing at every foot.
At 9:3l the Vigilant came up, foot
by foot, and at 1888 she swept past the
challenger.

Are Women Responsible 4?

1t was Marguerite Of Valois who
said, with unusual severity for a wo-
man, that 'the less one sees and knows
men the higher one esteems them"
It is obvious that the cynical Mar
garet really meant to say that the bet
ter one knows men the greater is ones
contempt for them.
These sharp-tongued assaults are in
teresting and diverting as specimens Of
satirical raillery, but to the analytical
mind they present nothing worth while
The simple truth is, women do not
hold such sentiments towards men;
though every one knows that to a con-
siderable extent they would be justi-
fed in so holding. The general att1-
tude of women is one Of seeming wor-
shipful admiration. This Is bad, espe-
cially for very young men, who are
thus puffed up by conceit and made
unspeakably disagreeable, whereas
were they let alone they might disclose
becoming measure Of modesty and
self-distrust. 1t is about time for wo-
men to face the fact that they are d.
rectly chargable with most Of the un-
pleasing characteristics of man. They
constantly feed his vanity; they habitu-
ally practice duplicity and in their in
tercourse with him the note of SINGER
ity is seldom heard. Naturally the
man desires the "clinging trust of the
woman, but he is too dull-headed to
perceive that what he takes for cling
ing trust is clever diplomacy, and it
Is an axiom that the only way to be-
come clever diplomat is to cultivate
deceit.

The First Consul.

Just before the review began we saw
several officers in gorgeous uniforms
ascend the stairs, one Of whom, whose
helmet seemed entirely of gold, was
Eugene de Beauharnais. A few min
utes afterwards there was a rush of
officers down the stairs, and among
them saw short, pale man, with his
hat in his hand, who resembled Lord
Ersl1ine in profile. But, though my
friend whispered, "C'est lui,'' 1 did not
comprehend that I beheld Bonaparte
till saw him stand alone at the gate
In another moment he was ON his
horse, while I, trembling with emotion,
gazed on him intently, endeavOring to
commit each expressive, sharply -chis-
eled feature to memory, contrasting
also with admiration his small, simple
hat, adorned with nothing but a little
tri-colored cockade, and his blue coat,
guiltless of gold embroidery, with the
splendid adOrnments Of the officers
who followed him.
At length the review ended-too soon
for me. The First Consul sprang from
his horse. We threw open our door
again, and, as he slowly reascended
the stairs, we saw him very near us,
and in full face, while his bright, rest
less, expressive and, as we fancied,
dark blue eyes beaming from under
long black eyelashes, glanced over us
with scrutinizing but complacent
look.--7Mrs. Opie, in Ta1t's Magazine,

EUROPE AGAINST FRANCE.
Great Nations Uphold Germany's Militar.
Display at Metz.

To understand exactly the present
European situation it would be neces.
sary to read the thoughts of three per.
sonages who are the masters of the
diplomatic game. These three per-
sonages are the Gar, the Kaiser and
King Humbert Of Italy.
What is visible is, in the first place,
the speech, marked with displeasure
and bad temper, delivered by the Car
on the occasion of the Inauguration of
the Port of Libau, in which Alexander
III. declared that the Baltic ought to
be, in spite of all opposition, Russian
lake. The second sign Of the times is
the holding of the German army man.
euvres on the French frontier and the
entrance of William II. into Metz on
the anniversary Of the capitulation of
Sedan, accompanied by the Crown
Prince of Italy. Thirdly, there is the
significant fact that the Italian military
maneuvreS are also to be held on the
Italian side of the French frontier, and
that the hatred of Italians against the
French is constantly on tbs increase.
Beside all these outward and visible
signs England is again protesting, and
more loudly than ever, against the
policy Of France in Siam, and seems
now inclined to refuse what she was
only a short time ago ready to accept
1t looks as if Germany, Italy and
England were in a combination to
overawe the French republic, together
with its Russian ally.

man who was shown photograph of

the young man inquired.
'"The graduating class of Smith Col

HOME RULE WINS.
Mr.. GLADSTONE'S BILL PASSES THE
HOUSE OF COMMONS.

The Lords Are Preparing to Reject it
by a Big vote-Hot Political Times

of Parliament
The majority Of "a by which Mr.
GladstOne'S great measure for the gov.

the House of Commons is small, but II
represented solid, compact alliance
composed of most incongruous mate
rialS. The very fact that Mr. Glad
stone was able to hold such a majority
for the bill in the face Of the enormous
difficulties that confronted him shows
that strong and determined public
sentiment is behind him.
The bill will be defeated, as a matter
of course, in the House of Lords. Mort

to support the Marquis of Salisbury il

therefore, there will be ten opposing
it. There will be little debate on the
/ bill among the Lords. For three nights
they will devote most of their time to
| dividing against it. Then the bill will
be discussed in perfunctory way.
Not all Unionists look with favor on
the Salisbury plan of rallying an over
| whelming majority of Lords to vote
against the bill Such a course, they
feel, must direct general attention tC
the broadening chasm between the
Lords and the Commons, and tend to
| precipitate the fight of British democ
| racy against the upper house. For
many years the British people have
watched with increasing jealousy the
| interference of the Peers with the work
| of the popular representatives in the
| lower house. The assembling of the
| aristocrats to defeat a measure ap
proved by the Commons after the most
exhaustive debate in Parliamentary
history will not only aggrayate this
| jealousy, but will also excite more in
terest in the passage of the bill than
has been felt before in the United
Kingdom. 1t will arouse again the
enthusiasm of Mr.. GladstOne'S follow.

NIGHT SESSIONS NEXT.
Big Developments Likely in the Senate
This Week.

IhIS week.
A Washington dispatch says there
will be important developments in the
Seneate before the week Is out. The
silver Senators will have to do most
of the talking and their plans of pure
delay will become more apparent to
the country than ever. Before the
week is ended it is likely that the anti
silver Senators will compel night ses.
sions. In the meantime the opposition
to the repeal will continue to dwindle.
The fact that the silver Senators are
forced to defend the Sherman act.
whose weakness they have admitted
on the floor Of both houses, greatly en-
barrasses them. Their programme is
merely one of obstruction, to compel
concessions. The weakness of such a
policy in the face Of public sentiment
Is daily becoming more apparent Busi-
ness men In the silver States are send.
ing petitions to their Senators fayoring
unconditional repeal
There is a great deal of discussion
about the financial legislation that is
to follow the repeal of the Sherman
act. The State bank plank of the
Democratic platform will be acted up-
on in some way. President Cleveland
is represented as favoring the PROPOSE
ton to repeal the State bank tax. if a
measure can be framed that will sur
mount the difficulties in the way of a
rehabilitation Of State bank currency.
