Y.oht. co race Over A~.,n.

The sweepstakes yacht race sailed last
Saturday has been adIudged no race at all
and will be sailed over again next Satur-
day. The yacht Xora, which crossed the
line first, was the only one which covered
the course within the time limit of two
hours and hall, but her entrance fee Of
$40 had not been paid. The judges not be-
ing able to give the prize to the Kelpis on
account of the time limit, decided that 1t
was mo race" There is a good deal of
enthusiasm among yachtsmen on the
contest. and the probability il that many
more spectators will view the second con-
test than were out last Saturday.

DUTTON TO HANG.
Gov. Northen Decides Not to Interfere
With the Execution.

Atlanta, Ga, Oct. 17.-Judge
Miner aud Solicitor General Fite,
of Gainesville, appeared before
Gov Northen to-day in opposition to the
application for executive clemency in the
case of John w. Dutton, convicted of the
murder of Mrs. Sallie Mobley, a white
woman, in Barlow county. Dutton was
sentenced to be hung on Sept. 10 last, but
on the plea of newly discovered evidence
going to prove the guilt Of Mrs. Massey
and her husband. white people,
he was respited until the Goth of this
month. The Masseys were arrested
in Greene county and taken to Barlow,
where they were released after full in
vestigation of the suspicion against them.
Their defense was an alibi. button
claimed that he had seen Mrs. Massey
when she killed Mrs. Mobley and threw
her body into the bushes. The theory
was that Mrs. Massey was jealous of the
relations of her husband and the muir
dered woman, and that on the day of the
crime she had discovered them together.
Gov. NOrthen has decided not to inter
fere further with the course of the law
and DuttOn will hang on Friday.

REPEAL STILL FAR OFF.
The Situation in the Senate Still
Unchanged.


Washington, Oct. 1.-THE repeal ques-
ton IN the Senate is apparently as far
from solution as ever. The discussion
over the alleged inaccuracyO of the journal
to-day springs d new issue and new de-
bate 1t can be debated at the pleasure
of the senators, or until every senator
who wants TO speak has spoken Thus
the repeal bill is temporarily set aside.
A rumor was current to-day that the
President prefers that congress should
adjourn rather than compromise, and
that he will adjourn it if opportunity is
offered. He can only do this in case the
two houses disagree as to the date Of ad-
jOurnment. He hopes he has
enough adherents in both the House
and Senate to bring about this
state of affairs, then he will adjourn
congress and thus give the represent
atives and senators opportunity to 60
home and ascertain the wishes of their
constituents, who he believes are largely
in favor of unconditional repeal. 1t is
difficult to say now whether the President
can count on his adherents to this extent.
Another report is that the President has
become convinced that repeal cannot be
passed by the physical endurance test,
and thinks there is one more way to reach
a vote, which is by changing the rules Of
the Senate and he wants a fight to be now
made for that purpose. The present
outlook is for struggle on
that line There is little chance for sue
cess. A proposition to change the rules
would have to be made under the present
rules. and there would mo better chance
tie get a vote on that proposition than on
the repeal bill The situation is com
pletely befoggled. Senator Voorhees,
says openly for himself and the admins
tration that there will be no compromise
in which they will be factors, but he be-
lieves unconditional repeal will ulti-
mately come and that the fight has just
begun.
