Letter to Governor Northern.
WAsHINGToN, Oct. 1O-The session Of
the senate yesterday was given up entirely
to considering the Sherman act. Some of
the most impassioned speeches made since
the opening of the debate took place on
Mr. Wolcott's resolution instructng the
finance committee TO put into legislative
form the bimetallic declaration Of policy
contained in the Voorhees, substitute Mr..
Wolcott criticized the president for his let
ter to Governor Northern, Of Georgia.
characterizing it as intrusive, offensive
and uniting the relations that should
exist between the legislative and execu-
tive departments of the government" Mr.
Voorhees, made the resolution the ground
work Of a speech defending the repeal bill.
The Wolcott resolution was finally sent TO
the calendar and the repeal bill proper
taken up. The debate on the federal cleo
tions bill closed yesterday and the voting
began today. At no time during the dis
cussion has there been much attention
given to speakers on either side of the
question. Even the last day Of the dis
cussion was not productive of much In
terest. The house Democratic caucus last
night, after a discussion of two houts,
unanimously adopted a resolution that
the Tucker bill should be passed, and on
that measure the vote is now being taken.

ALLIANCE, o., Oct. 1O.--At $50 last even
ing an east bound freight train on the
Pittsburg, Fort Wayne and Chicago rail
road passed the village Of North Lawrence
a few miles east of this city. Five minutes
later the inhabitants of the village were
startled by terrific explosion. The train
had a car containing over POO kegs of pow
der, which became ignited, causing the
explosion and the complete wrecking Of
train. The track was torn to pieces for a
distance of $50 yards, and an excavation
twenty feet deep beneath the powder car
was made Engineer Colvin and Fireman
Thomas MCGOWAN were fatally burned.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 1O-Mexican Minis
ter Romero was asked for details OF there
ported sale of the southern peninsula Of
California to a syndicate that had in view
its ultimate annexation to the United
States Mr.. Romero said that so far as he
knew there was absolutely no foundation
for the report. He had reason to believe
that his government did not contemplate
parting from Southern California und9I

on to every rag for therein lay her only
hope Of victory, but that the Vigilant with
a lead Of three miles should have kept her
club topsail on end, while her delicate top
mast seemed TO bend like a bow, was
something that her warmest admirers
could not understand.
The Vigilant was determined that she
would not only outsail, outfit and out
maneuver her antagonist, but that she
would not have the credit of carrying an
inch more canvas at any instant of the
contest Both boats were forced to take
in their jib topsals, however, before half
the distance had been covered, for their
sharp prows weie buried deep into the sea
and the rails were frequently awash.
The thirty mile race was run in three
hours and twenty-five minutes The wind
blew almost half gale during the last
half Of the race, and the boats came in
with decks forward wet with spray.
All the excursion boats saluted the Wig
liant and also the Valkyrie as they steamed
past them coming back to the city.
The next race will be sailed tomorrow.
II will be a beat to windward, fifteen miles
and return. Should the Nigilant win
again the Americas cup will remain here
at least another year, and the American
centerboard will still be the champion
yacht of the world.
