THE WGILANT LEADS.
Third Contest of the Cup De-
tenders.
THE RACE TO WINDWARDAND RETURN.
The Outer Mark Rounded First by
the VigiIant.
SEEN FROM THE HIGHLANDS.

ATLANTIC HIGHLANDS, Sept. 11.-This
is the last day appointed for the third trial
race between the Jubilee. Pilgrim, Colonia
and Vfgilant. The weather was simply per-
feet this morning, and everybody interested
In the outcome of the trials expected to see
the best race of the series today. The wind
was blowing a stiff breeze from the north
east. and the sky indications were that it
would grow stronger. 1t was blowing about
fifteen miles an hour.
The course today was to be fifteen miles
to windward and return. the start to be
made from either the Scotland light ship
or the Sandy Hook light ship. as the COM
mittee of the Atlantic Yacht Club might de-
eide.
When well outside the Pilgrim hoisted her
jib staysail and dropped her tug. The Jubi-
lee. which had been leading the fleet out,
put about her mainsail i'm the meantime
having been dropped. She then headed up
toward the fJarrows, but it was impossible
from this point to decide whether or not
she was in trouble. 1t was conjectured,
however, that she had only put about to
meet the flag ship May. which was coming
down behind the racers.
The sea was moderate. All the condi-
tions Were perfect for a splendid race.
The Start.
At IL 20 a signal was set on the flag ship,
which from this point read that the course
was to be due east. The wind seemed to
be hauling a little to the southwark. and
was gaining strength. The compass sig
nal was hauled down and another signal
was flying from the triatic stay of the May,
the signal for the yachts to make ready for
the start.
At n:30 the preparatory gun was fired
and ten minutes later the signal to start
was given. To observers on the platform
beneath one of the twin Highland lights the
yachts appeared to cross the line at the fol-
lowing times.

THE FEDERAL ELECTION BILL
1t Will Be Brought Before the House on
Thursday.
The Tucker Measure Adopted, which
Eject ON the Repeal Bill.

There is no new light let in on the Sem
ate situation and a great deal of WEAKNESS
Is manifested by those Senators who,
though friendly to the use Of silver, regard
this delay and fighting over the repeal of
the Sherman law as very unwise and un-
fortunate On account Of the peculiar con-
ditfons under which the forces in support
OF repeal are organized, members Of both
parties making up the vote by which the
bill passed the House, and the measure
being dependent upon republican votes for
passage by the Senate, every other prop
osition for legislation, every legislative
move and the whole policy Of Congress
seem to be involved in this measure and
Its friends are constantly in a state of
alarm lest some other legislation be at
tempted which might offend the -epubli-
can supporters of repeal or in some way
throw a barrier across the track of the
Voorhees, bill.
The Federal Elections Bill.
Now that 1t Is expected that the propo-
sition to repeal the federal election laws
will come up in the House this week. a
good many Of the friends Of the Voorhees,
bill are alarmed lest the partisan discus
sion over the federal election laws should
80 anger some of the republicans as to
cause them to withdraw their support from
the other propositions. They fear that the
partisanship which will develop on the one
questions will have a reflex action on the
other and give the administration some
trouble. The House, however, contemplates
going ahead with the federal election prop
osition. The democrats of the committee
having in charge that measure met today
and decided upon a bill to be presented
They adopted the Tucker bill, which re-
peals all laws on the statute books which
authorize the use of troops at the polls /;
all laws which give the federal government
any Jurisdiction over the elections In the
states and over the registration Of voters
in the states. 1t Is a sweeping measure
destroying the federal jurisdiction estab-
lished during the reconstruction period ana
since. The bill will be formally laid before
the whole committee tomorrow and then
reported to the House. Notice will be given
that 1t will be called up for consideration
on Thursday, and 1t is expected that the
House will adjourn over until that day.
The DiscunsiOn on the Voorhees, Bill.
Meanwhile the discussion over the Voor-
hees bill goes on without any indication Of
an approaching end and the advocates Of
repeal are perplexed as to the course they
should pursue to hasten a vote. They fear
that any move toward forcing the matter
to a conclusion will only furnish a diver
sion from the main issue and prolong the
fight So they are compelled for the pres
ent at least to worry on through the weary
delay and to wait for something to turn up
to end the matter.

preciate It's COmicalfty.
The officials Of the Treasury Department
do not appear to fully appreciate the comi-
cality Of the so-called Investigation Of Capt.
Mitchell. commanding the revenue steamer

The Star. that officer who Is charged by
his brother officers with offenses of most
serious character. is exercising paramount

board supposed to be making it. and all

tuting the court Of iipuiry are presumably
his guests. He is preevht at all the proceed
ings. and his accuserv are only allowed to

ton.
The Responsibility for Secrecy.
He was the first witness examined 10y the
board. and was allowed to put in his de-
Tense before any Of the witnesses in sup
port of the charges were allowed to be
heard. He Is to be held responsible for in
ducing the board to sit in secret. He has
a particular aversion to newspaper men,
and by his orders none Of the guild is per-
mitted to board the steamer.
The duties Of the board are viewed at the
Treasury Department exceedingly simple,
and do not call for any circumlocution.
The board has but to hear evidence on the
charges made, and submit it's report to the
Treasury Department. 1t merely submits
the evidence received by 1t. and Is not
called on for a verdict one way or the
other. 1t is for the Secretary Of the
Treasury alone to say whether the case
calls for any punishment.

Assistant Secretary Hamln, who has d.
rect supervision Of ,the revenue marine
service. and who ordered this particular in
