THE YACHT RACE.

The fact that the first Of the coD-
tests between the Vigilant and the
Valkyrie was declared off for the rea-
son that neither yacht could cover
the course in six hours neutralizes
the advantage the latter obtained in a
drifting match. The cup contest cannot
be decided under conditions which pre-
vailed on Thursday. There must be more
wind, and with more wind the Vigilant
will be lifted out of the drift in which
the Valkyrie made the best headway. The
yachts must sail i've miles an hour to
cover tie course in the stipulated time. In

ELECTRIC SHIPS.

At Rhinebeck on the Hudson River Mr..
John Jacob Astor. the millionaire. has
princey country seat. Being man of
more alert mind than most milliouaires
Mr.. Ast0r has taken up as life task the
study of electricity. as applied to naviga-
tion. and has converted the front of his
place into a snipyard. Electric launches
are common on the rivers of the East and
IN European countries. They are now
built to carry thirty or forty persons for
eight or ten hours at rate Of some ten
miles an hour. The motive power is
stored electricity, which is contained in
boxes under the seats. Mr.. Astor now
proposes to see whether the principle can.

He is building yacht 200 feet long which
is to be propelled by electricity. Ii he sue
ceeds the American steamer Of the future
will not be steamer at all, but an electric
ship.
Success will involve the solution of
business as we'll as mechanical ques-
tons. The problem which Mr.. Astor and
his engineer. Mr.. Chamberlain, are study
Ing is whether it is possible to generate
electricity on board ship, for stored elec-
tricity would be OF no service for long
voyages at an equal or less cost for fuel
than it costs to generate steam for triple
expansion engine. If that cannot be done
the revolution will have to wait awhile.

THE DUTY ON CIGARS.
A free-srade Philadelphia paper say.

A free-srade Philadelphia paper says:
A certain provision in the Mckinley tariff
law imposes duty of 81 so the pound and %
per cent ad valOrem besides on every single
thousand cigars imported. and as further pro-
lection TO tobacco growers the duty of 50 per
pound on cigar-wrappers was separately pro-
vided for. Complete monopoly OF the Amerl-
can markets for the cheaper grades of cigars
was the sequence.
This certain provision in the M Kinley
tariff accomplished what 1t was intended
20 accomplish. II built up the cigar iDdus-
try in the United States. 1t added some
thing more than 100 per cent to the orig.
inal cost of Havana cigars. and thereby
considerably reduced importation. 1t
worked such a change that better cigar
can now be sold for bit than can be i'm
ported al that price. There does not seem
10 be much to complain of except from the
Havana clgar-manufacturerS and the COM
paratively few Americans who cannot
smoke American cigars. But competition
became so fierce among American cigar
manufacturers that they conceived the
idea that they would be better off if they
had free raw material. Consequently
they started movement to take off the 81
pound duty on cigar-wrappeTs. This is
in exact accord with the wooi-manufac-
turers' movement to take off the duty on
raw wool. 1t is also in keeping with the
general mugwump idea of free raw mate
rial But the tobacco-growers have come
to the conclusion that If the duty on raw
material must go it shall have the CON-
pany of the duty on cigars. The Commit
tee on Ways and Means Is inclined to ac-
cept both propositions-to abolish both the
duty on wrappers and on cigars. Then we
will get the common grades from cheap
labor countries, and the American cigar
maker will be required to compete or to

A New Organization to

"COLORABLE INVITATIONS. "
Determination to Guard the Public
From Bold Attempts to Inn

The extent to which the fraudulent imi-
tation of trademarks has been carried has
led to steps being taken to organize an
association of merchants to protect these
important in sigma OF merit.
A man invents an article which finds
popular favor under, say, the name Of
"COdex." By and by the country is
flooded with spurious limitations marked
"Kodex." The public is too busy to in
vestigate the difference. and Tor while
the "colorable imitation" passes muster.
but its inferior quality finally drags both
1t and its original into disrepute and both
disappear from the market.
Nothing is more common than this kind
of fraud by which botn the public and the
owner of the original brand are shame
lessly damaged.
The latest piece Of effrontery in this
respect which has particularly stirred up
local action consists of circular sent out
to importers by Eastern printers as fol-
lows:

WASTE ABOARD BIG SHIPS.
FORKS Knives, Dishes, Tableware, and
Linen Sent Overheard.
(St. Louis Post-Dispatch.

Nt' LOUIS PoSt-DiSpatch)
a man came over on the big Cunarler
Campania's last trip. who, being OF an in
curing turn OF mind, used his eyes and
ears TO good advantage all the way, and
he expressed to a reporter the most I'M
qualined amazement at the constant
Wholesale waste of valuable material.
Il don't think so much of the stewards
seiilng saloon fare to the steerage," he
said, because the food would be thrown
overheard, anyway, and the stewards. or
nunkles as the seamen call them. may
as well make something off II IL they can.
inelr pay Is small, so the transaction re-
suits In substantial benefit TO them. A
great many persons come over in the
steeraBe because they don't care what
their accommodations are so Iong as they
get good food. and they are pretty sure
or being able to buy that from the stew
ards. Of course II isn't the square thing
10 do, but what | wondered thu most at
was the utter disregard for the ships
OUTFIT.
For instance. steward would take
down TO the steerage a dozen dishes and
plates OF choice food in a large bucket,
carefully covered. so the contents would
not be seen. OF course the bucket con-
tanned silver forks. spoons. knives. and
NtlS Olten SILVER StHetdDle ana utSeefl
dishes and individual chocolate and coffee
pots. When the food was eaten the china
and silver went back to the bucket and
the whole business was quietly dropped
into the refuse chute and into the seal
I've seen as many as ten buckets taken
down by the same number of stewards
three or four times a day throughout a
trip, and In every case the crockery,
silverware, and buckets went overheard.
You may take my word for IL that any
thing a steward carries below never gets
back to it's proper quarters again-nOt
only because of the risk of detection,
but because OF the trouble.
81 doubt, though, If the risk is very
great. for some of the officers are them
selves exceedingly careless and destruc-
tive. I've seen large brand new, hand
some blankets taken into an officers
bath When he finished the blankets
were rolled up and quietly dropped down
the chute, and that happened number
OF times during the voyage too. No, |
can't suggest a remedy, and the company
wouldn't extend me a vote of thanks If
I could but IL seems to me 1t would pay
10 have those things looked into a little
and a responsible man placed in direct
charge of affairs.
"a stewards pay is very small, ranging
from 81 to $50 a month, but never ex-
ceeding the latter sum. In many cases
they get no pay at all. but, instead, not
only work without a stipend, but also
pay the company for the privilege OF
serving It,"
