The Valkyrie Is Here,
And the First Yacht Race for the Amer
Ica's Cup VIII Take Place Oct. >.

And the First Yacht Race for the Amer
ica's Cup VIII Take Place Oct. >.
The English yacht Valkyrie, which is to
race the Vigilant for the Americas cup,
has arrived at New York after a long voy-
age of 80 days. The yacht experienced
generally unfavorable and at times very
stormy weather. 1t will take about 10
days to overhaul her and put her in shape
for the first race with the Vigilant, Oct. ).
The cup for which the Valkyre and Wig
liant are to race was won in August, 1851,
by the yacht America, which was sent
from the United States to contest against
British boats in a race off the Isle of
Wight. Since then there have been seven
foreign challengers, none of which sue
ceeded in winning the cup. Two boats
which tried for the prize were from Cana
da, the other five coming over from Great
Britain. OF the five, one was the schooner
yacht Cambria. She was badly beaten.
Then came the cutter Genesta in 1885.
She was beaten by the Puritan in the race
for the cup, although on her homeward
voyage she crossed the Atlantic in the un-
precedented time for boats of her class of
20 days and 10 hours. The Galatea came
over in 1886, and it took her 81 days to
sail from Southampton to Boston, the
longest voyage by challenger on record.
She failed to win the cup, as did also the
Thistle, although the latter crossed in %
days from Plymouth. The coming race,
say the experts, promises TO be closer than
any of the previous seven in American

1t is now expected that the total attend
ance at the Worlds Fair will reach the 20,-
600, 900 mark before the close of the expo
sition. Nearly 100000 paid admissions
were recorded during the first three weeks
of this month.
The Massachusetts Democrats nominated
John E. Russell for governor at their state
convention Wednesday. EX-Congressman
Greenhalge has a strong lead of the dele
gates chosen, which undoubtedly assures
his nomination by the Republicans next
week.
The most popular issue OF any magazine
this year has been the September number
of the Cosmopolitan, devOting many pages
to the Worlds Fair, with profuse and
beautiful illustrations and articles by II
different writer's, ex-President Harrison
and Walter Besant among them. The
first edition was exhausted at once, and a
second edition has brought the total num-
Der of copies up to 2ll 900.
The New York Sun prints a careful his
torical article on the worlds wheat crop of
the year, from which the conclusion is
that the wheat crop of the United States
will fall some 10000 bushels below our
own requirements, but this is more than
offset by an extraordinary reserve of 1OO,-
900, 900 bushels from the crops of the last
two years. Russia also has reserve Of
100, ,OOO,0 900 bushels, and these two coun'
tries must supply the shortage of England
France, Italy and Belgium. The question
will be which country can offer the besl
prices and the best shipping facilities.

Senator stewart Attacks the President.

In a speech on the silver question in the
Senate last Monday Senator Stewart of
Nevada made a savage arraignment of
President Cleveland for his action in not
having his secretary of the treasury COM
ply with the provision of the Sherman law
which requires the purchase of ian aggre-
gate amount of 100000 ounces of silver
per month, or so much thereof as may be
offered in each month, at the market price
thereof not exceeding 81 for 3714 grains
of pure silver" This provision is manda-
tory, and yet, Mr.. Stewart said, in disre-
gard of his oath to execute the laws, Mr..
Cleveland had permitted Secretary Car
Isle to wantonly violate it. In proof of
this charge he presented a letter from the
secretary of the treasury, showing that in
July last 6,06S, 900 ounces of silver bullion
had been offered and only 1892, 61S
ounces bought; and in August, 4,7S3,00
ounces offered and only 1857, 800 bought.
He had not yet the statement for this
month; but he understood the purchases
were still less, although silver bullion was
offered far below the cost of production.
The senator could not conceive how this
could be justified, in view of the scarcity
OF currency, which should nave Deen IN
creased by the issue of treasury certificates
for silver bullion. He knew that an ex-
cuse was made that silver bullion was not
purchased because the holders asked more
than the market price; but he insisted
that the market price of property was that
at which the owner was willing to sell.
However much, he said, some senators
might deprecate the law of July II, 1890,
laI tod lax IN
the English statute boOk-all Doth high
and low had to obey the law if civil liber-
ty was to be maintained, and if constitu-
tional government was to exist.
He undertook to say that at no time
since the execution of Charles | had any
king or president, either in England or in
the United States, overtly or defantly dis
obeyed a statute which he himself had de-
clared mandatory, or had allowed his sub
ordinates to disobey it. Was it not time,
he asked, to sound the alarm?

Our account of the mob outbreak and
negro lynching at Roanoke, Va, closed
last week with the statement that the ne
gro had been taken from the officers, killed,
and then his body burned amid the ap-
plause of thousands of blood-thirsty spec
tators. To this it is to be added that the
feeling in Roanoke against the mayor who
ordered the military company to protect
the negro, and against the soldiers who
fired on the mob, ran so high that the
mayor and the militia captain fled from
the city to save their lives, and both are
now fugitives, the mayor with bad wound
in the foot. Much might be written on
the state of public sentiment which makes
such a condition of things possible, but
the mere statement of the fact speaks for
itself and suggests its own commentaries.

The Massachusetts railroad commission
ers fix the immediate responsibility for the
accident on the Boston &c Albany road at
Chester upon Daniel Belville, the foreman,
who recklessly allowed the work to be done
by improper methods and the bridge to be
left in an utterly unsafe condition, and
who heedlessly neglected to warn the COM
ing train. The original responsibility for
the accident, however, the commissioners
place with the railroad company in their
fatal neglect or omission on their part to
provide competent supervisor or inspect

with road qualities, shall stand in the front
rank, as in the days of long ago. As a
race horse that "brings the money home,"
the following summary of his performances
stamp him a bread-winner of the first
order: Starting in 10 races, he won nine
first, four second, one third, and one drawn.
That he is much faster than his record was
fully shown by his trotting a quarter in 354
seconds the first day, and a half in 1.11t
the next, aud this after full season in the
stud of over 125 covers.

GiIIig and His owner.

The fair management was extremely
fortunate in securing Vermont's famous
race horse and sire of speed, "Gillig," race
record 2.23t at four years old, by the King
of Morgans, Aristos, 2,274, the sire of 10
in the list, with five producing sons and
four daughters; dam Alice, by Pearsall.
Gillig, now eight years old, is proving a
remarkable sire. Sue Gillig, his first colt,
secured race record of 2.254 as a three
years-old. Tom Gillig held the New Eng
land record for yearlings, 2.37f, Rupert
Gilllg has record of 2.2la, and more are
fast knocking for admittance to the
charmed circle.
In Gillig himself, in size, conformation,
speed and perfection of gait, nothing is left
to be desired. The very embodiment of an
ideal roadster, we look to this horse to re-
deem VermOnt's prestige more than any
other, as a place where speed, combined

Loss to the Randolph Normal School
from "a Second Incendiary Fire.

The town hall at Randolph, which has
been occupied by the Normal school since
the recent fire which destroyed the school
building, was burned early Wednesday
morning. The fire was plainly incendiary.
1t had been set on the outside of the build
ing. The Normal school loses half of its
valuable library, also piano which cost
$40O, and valuable articles which had been
saved from the late fire. The loss on the
town hall is about $4,000; insurance, $1,000.
The Normal school is now in session in
the two churches. The work of rebuild
ing the school building has begun, the
trustees having voted to incurr an expense
of not more than $4,000 for this purpose.

The Now Master Workman WIN Try to
Build Up the knights


PHILADELPHIA. Dec 2.-James r. Sov-
ereign was installed general master work
man of the knights of Labor yesterday.
He Immediately assumed the duties of his
office, and nearly all the work on hand
here for the executive board was brought
to close yesterday afternoon. This morn
ing the board nd journed to reassemble in
New York this afternoon, where a large
amount of unfinished business remains to
be adjusted The work is In the nature of
settling the matter of jurisdiction In Ger
tain district and local assemblies, which
will require the presence OF the board
there for two or three days
Mr.. Sovereign said in an interview:
81 find that in order to build the order
up to its old standard a great deal of per-
sonel work will have to be done. 1t is my
intention, and that Of the members of the
executive board to make tour of the
country for the purpose of stimulating
the knights and organizing new assem-
blies The time for this work was never
better than the present, and we hope that
the best results will attend our efforts.
Our membership, which is now about
100000, will or ought to lie doubled by this
time next year, and all my efforts will be
directed toward increasing the numerical
strength oil tho hmghts OF Labor.
When asked sbout the probable change
of the general headquarters of tho knights
he said:
II will establish my own headquarters
in Des Moines for the time being, but
am not prepared TO say when the general
offices will he removed from this city"
Mr.. Sovereign declined to discuss Mr..
Powderly y recent actions in any way, lie
still believes him to be true knight but
that is all he would say.

plain what possible connection there
could be between the wife of proud
planter and southern gentleman and a
set Of the lowest and most debased of
human beings.
For little by little had the appalling
theory crept in my mind that Portia
Marchmont, beautiful, refined and edu-
Gated woman, was victim OF some un-
holy spell; that she was in sympathy
with those mysterious and lnexplicahle
rites of Dead Mans swamp. Her fury
whenever the subject of voodooism was
mentioned; her anxiety lest her husband
should visit tho hannt of these night
birds; her evident anger when Colonel
Marchmont threatened to punish the old

ceremonies, all strengthened my opin-
