The Great Yacht Race.

The series OF the great international
| yacht race between the American boat
! Nigilant and Lord Dunraven's Val
kyrie, began in earnest on October
| 9TH. Two days previously 3 race had
been attempted, but the wind was so
light that it became q drifting match
in which the English boat had the adj
vantage. 1t was no race, however, as
the time limit was not made. In the
first real race the wind was light in
which work the Vigilant was supposed
10 be the slowest. Still she got the
LEAD and held it throughout the race,
beating the EnglishmSn handsomely
by five minutes forty-eight seconds.
The Nalkyrie people had no complaint
10 make but said that in strong breeze
they could best the American. On
the 9th inst. the second race was run.
1t began with 8 good breeze and
ended in half gale. This was
what the Englishmen wanted and
some admirers Of the American boat,
who did not know her real qualities,
were very nervous, particularly as the
first stretch Of the triangular course
was beating to windward, in which
the foreign boat is very strong. 1t
transpired, however, that the yankee
was also built for that kind of work,
for she not only outsailed the Valkyrie
but outpointed her in windward work,
holding her course better than the
keel boat. The Vigilant increased her
lead to the turn where they came
down on the wind and here it was
feared the Nalkyrie would overtSke
the yankee, but on the contrary the
white champion of the American fly
ers did better work still, and flew TO
the starting line twelve and one-half
minutes ahead Of the Valkyrie, which
was left about two miles behind.
Lord Dunraven was SstOunded at the
performance OF the American and &c
knOwledged that there was no chance
for his yacht in yesterdays race. The
programme is for five races but If the
NigiIaur wins the next Of the series il
will be three straight victories and
viii decide the race. The Englishmen
have little hope OF winning now, as
they must take the next three races.
The great contest is for the Queens
Cup,n which wSs first won by the
schooner yacht America, q center
board boat, fOrIy-three years ago. The
English have crossed the Atlantic
eight times TO try and take the cup
back but have always been beaten.
The Vslkyrie represents the English
idea Of s keel boat and the American !
Is the ideal center-bOard, and the con- |
tests have always been between such !
boats. The Valkyrie Is the best yacht |
yet sent over by the English and the |
Vigilsnt Is without doubt the best |
work OF American designers. The |
race j attracting remarkable attention |
snd in New York city business Is sus-
pended when the contests are on. 1t |
Is estimated that the last race was
by one million people. The |
next race viii be sailed on the 18th 4
and the Americans confidently expect
10 take IL.

Not Hostile 90 N1r.
Cleveland.
NEW York, Jan. 6.-Mr. Croker was
asked today:
"Do you think that if Mr.. Murphy IS
elected Senator that Mr.. Cleveland in
return will take up position hostile to
Tammany Hall?"
mo" he said. "Our friendship for
Mr.. Murphy will not make Mr.. Cleveland
hostile to the regular Democracy OF the
State. Mr.. Cleveland is, I think, a man
of too broad ideas. a man of too high
ideas of political justice to allow himself
to take such a step. We are not hostile
to Mr.. Cleveland just because Mr.: Mur-
ply, our candidate, is not Cleveland's 8
choice. nor will Mr.. Murphy oppose
Mr.. Cleveland if he is elected, whie b, OF
course, goes without saying. Mr.. Cleve-
land does not know Mr.. Murphy s
strong points. If he knew him as well
| as do, in justice to Mr. Cleveland,
must say think he would consider Mr
Murphy. He is not an orator, but he has
wonderful executive ability. This to
gether with his other admira bic quallhca
tions, will make him a Senator to be
proud of. His election is certain.
think he will get every Democratic vot'

KEY TO THE SITUATION.
rne DC mocrats Hold ~ I'm Neb.
raska.

OMAHA, Neb., Jan. 7.-New interest
was today given the Senatorial situation
by combination of Democrats and Re-
pubicans in the organization of the
upper House of the Nebrask a Legislature.
It amounts to a notice that the man
who is elected must be one on whom all
elements can unite. 1t is still asserted,
however, that the action of the Demo-
Gratis in voting with the Republicans had
nothing to do with the Senatorial situa-
ton. and was only intended to afford a
way out of the deadlock.
The names most mentioned by the
DEMOCRATS and independents for the
place are: Congressman Mckeigan. Con
gressman Bryan and German Boyd, in
the order named. McKeigan seems to
have decidedly the best of the situation
at present. He is very acceptable to
both parties.
Bryan's strength is a matter OF much
uncertainty. He is not liked by the radi-
cal element of the Independent party.
Boyd has not shown his baud yet. but is
considered more as being an excellent
candidate to compromise upon.
Another compromise candidate who is
coming into prominence, is J. N. Powers,
of the National farmers alliance. Powers
has not formally signifed his desire to be-
come Paddock's successor, but is being
talked OF to an extent that is extremely
suggestive.
On the Republican side the candidates
are more unanimous and have less
strength. Some are pushing the claims
of Guild M. Lambertson, present assis
tant secretary OF the treasury. Governor
elect Crounse is named in connection
with the place. as also is Lieut.. .-Governo
Majors. Their candidacy is merel.
nominal, however. John M. IIurs
ton has a following, but is not pushing
J his canvass. Plans are being laid
which. if successful. will bring the Demo
t csats and Independents together in
: caucus next week to determine upon
: candidate.
The Democrats hold the key to the 81,
e uation. II the anti-monopoly Republ
: cans do not bolt the caucus no man ca
q be elected without Democratic votes. l
view Of this the supporters of Mckeiga
n feel confident Of his success.

About tRae LiRhss.

I'D. Carrier, of the West Asheville I'm
provement company, explains to THE
CITIZEN the cause OF the city lights not
burning on Thursday and Friday nights.
He says the city's workmen, in cutting
down several trees on North Main street
Wednesday, allowed one to fall so as to
break the wires which carried the cur.
rent for the hghts, as well as the fire
alarm wire. The break was not reT orted
to the company in time to he renedied
Thursday night. Yesterday it wat
meuded and tested at II O'Clock, but
when tested again at O'Clock, the cir
cult was found broken again. Mr.
Carrier says the lights will be all righ

New YORK, Oct 1.-THE fourth national
encampment of the surviving soldiers to
whom were given medals Of honor granted
by special act of congress to all officers
and enlisted meu in the army and navy
who so distinguished themselves in action
by deeds of personal bravery that they
were deemed worthy of some distinct
mark of recognition from the nation, is in
session at the Holland House. Only 800 Of
these medals were awarded, and less than
200 of these picked men are now living.
The following officers were elected for
the ensuing year: Commander, General
James p. O'Beirne, of New York; senior
vice commander Colonel Robert l.. Orr,
of Philadelphia; junior vice commander,

THE latest innovation in the way of
trolley transportation is in San Fran
cisco where an electric hearse is in
use on one ofthe railways leading from
the city to four of the suburban ceme-
teries. The electric line parallels the
tracks of the Southern Pacific Rail-
road, and by cutting rates hopes to
share the funeral traffic. Funera
professions meet the train at any point
on the line. The coffin is placed in
the electric hearse and the pail bearers
occupy a special compartment in the
same car. The mOurners are carried
in an ordinary electric car. At the
cemetery a hearse and carriag5 are in
waiting, and the procession is reform
ed. The sable rappings OF the electric
hearse give it a mournful and emi-
nently espectable appearance, and the
idea of electric funerals does not seem
to shock the sen.i5iiies of the San
Franciscans.
