THE NAVAHOE WON
In the Race With Calluna, With
Several Minutes to Spare.

LONDON, Aug. 5.-A race open for
yachts about forty rating took place to-
day under the auspices of the Royal
Southampton Yacht club. The course
covered distance of forty-tWO
miles. The start was made at Nettley,
three miles southeast of Southamp ton.
Thence the yachts sailed down South
| ampton water to and around boat an
| chored off Limington, and then to and
| around the Warner lightship to the
eastward of the Isle of Wight. Til e
prizes were $50 to the winner and a
silver medal to the captain of the win
ner. Only two of the big yachts. the
Navahoe, owned by Royal Phel ps Car
roll, and the Calluna, owned by Mr..
Donaldson. started. The start was made
at 10:45 o'clock in a stiff southwest
southwest wind. The Navahoe got
away first, and soon led the Calluna by
| fifty seconds.
The Navahoe was sighted ABOUT 2
o'clock. heading up for Nettley. She
was ten minutes ahead of the Calluna.
| The NaYahoe won with several minutes
TO spare.
The brilliancy Of the scene at the
| Cowes regatta this week quite eQualed
| all expectations. An unprecedented
| number of yachts were present and
Cowes has seen the smartest social
gathering since the jubilee year. The
! cOntretempS in the race for the queens
cup, however, caused great deal of ill
feeling and cast damper over the re-
gatta. The disqualification of the
Valkyrie for the first prize, owing to a
| trivial mistake on the course, due to
| vague instructions, was most unpopular,
| and the opinion was openly expressed
that the committee in awarding the race
| to the Meteor, the German emperor's
boat, paid more regard to the kaiser's
| feelings than the merits of the case, and
| the kaiser's action in accepting the cup
was not altogether sportsmanlike. Lord
| Dunraven was exceedingly annoyed at
i the decision, and protested that the
| fault lay with the sailing instructions.
The VallYrie's crew showed its resent
| ment in more forclble manner by re-
fusing to race for the cup offered by the
kaiser. The Valkyrie will sail for
America after competing in the regatta
at Ryde next week. Lord Dunraven
will sail in the Campania at the end of

A Texas Judge Puts a Bullet
Through Capt. Allen.
LITTLE Rock. Ark. Aug. ga. spe-
cial to the Gazette from Texarkana
says: A few moments before o'clock
last evening Capt. W. j. Alien, editor of
Interstate News, of this city, was shot
and fatally wounded, dying at 1890 this
morning, by John King, county Judge
of Bowie county, Texas. The shooting
took place on Broad street at the inter
section of State, while Capt. Allen was
going to G. w. Trehors' news store on
State Line avenue. The tragedy was
the direct result of certain differences
which have existed for some weeks past
between the editor of the News and the
gentlemen composing the commissioners
court of Bowie county, of which Judge
King, by reason of his official position
as judge, is chairman. The particulars
of this trouble, which resulted in fine
of $50 being imposed upon Capt. Allen
because of his structures on the action
of the commissioners court in raising
certain assessed property values, are
generally known to the general public.
The criticisms continued up TO. yester-
day, when several rather sharp thrusts
appeared in the News. The incidents
of the shooting are perhaps best related
i'll Capt. Aliens dying statement, which
was made before Justice Haywood in
the presence OF witnesses Just one hour
before his death. The dying mans
declaration, as given to Justice Hay
ward, read as follows:
II, w. j. Allen, being Of sound mind,
conscious of approaching death, and be-
lieving there is no hope for my recov-
cry, do make this, my voluntary state

King was also seen, but refused to
make any statement, save to say that he
was justified in doing what he did. Both
were prominent citizens, King being an
eX-member OF the Texas legislature,
and one of the most prominent young
citizens in Northern Texas. Capt. Allen

SALT LAKE. Utah, Aug. 5.-Peter
Madsen, Mormon bishop, near Provo,
had hearing before Commissioner
Dudley on the charge of unlawful CO.
habitation, and was bound over to the
grand jury in $500 bail. His alleged
plural wife, Anna Madsen, who is the
principal witness, was held in 5000
bonds. Sam Carson. of Camp Floyd,
accused of having two women, waived
examination, and was bound over to the
grand jury. The second woman is the
daughter of the first, and is Carson's
stepdaug hter. Her baby was born a
few days ago.
Bishop Benjamin W. Leben, bishop
of the First ward, Logan, was before
Commissioner Fletcher on the charge of
adultery with his plural wife, Eliza
jerks, and pleaded guilty and gave
bonds for himself in the sum of $1,000
and $500 for his plural wife, as he stated
he did not want her brought iDtO court,
as she would be confined within a
month, and that he would plead guilty
before the courts in Ogden. DR.. William
B. ParEingson was before the same
commission. but pleaded the iurisdic-
ton of the courts of Utah, as his plural
wife, Edith Benson, testified that she
had cohabired with Parkingson one
night only in Franklin, Idaho. The case
was dismissed on the grounds that the
offense was committed on the other side
of the Idaho line.

many others in Winston, Forsyth

Bounty Jumpers and Thieves.
Los ANGELES, Aug. 5.-Commander-
in-Chief A. G. Weissert, of the G. A. R.,
who is in the city, was asked today
abaut pension matters and said: MY
position, in fact that of the whole Grand
Army, is Slammed up in the brief order
that issued after my election in Sep
TENDER. That order was that all mem
beTS of the q. A. r. having been obll-
gated to encourage honor and purity
in official circles, are requested in case
theyknOw of any one receiving pension
fraudulently,t to report the case promptly
to the commissioner at Washington.
All Grand Army men agree that they
encourage in every instance striking
from the rolls anybody drawing an
illegal pension, but members of the O..
A. L. as we'll as other patriotic citizens,
object most seriously to all these pen
siOners and who served honestly during
the war, being called frauds, bummers,
bounty jumpers and thieves, and
especially when the parties making
these assertions were in neither
army during the war and do not
cite single case where the law is being
violated. Many people forget that the
soldiers of the late war are citizens as
well as veterans. Members Of the G..
A. K. were so anxious to enforce the
laws of the land between 1S61-1S65 that
they offered their lives for that purpose,
and they have failed to hear of any,
thing that has changed their minds
since. They sQuelched the rebellion,
and are Just as anxious to enforce the
laws now as they were in 1861, and
they are anxious that not only the pen
sion laws but all others be enforced"

DAFT ON THE TARIFF.
Mckinley Talks to 10000 People
at an Erie County Picnic.

at an Erie County Picnic.
SANDUsKY. o., Aug. 5.-Gov. Nc
Kinley addressed an audience of 10000
people this afternoon at annual harvest
picnic of Erie county agricultural
society at Linwood park, Yermillion.
His speech dealt largely with the pres
ent financial and business conditions.
He pointed out that the business of the
country rested upon credit, faith in one
another, faith in the industries of the
country, faith in the destInies of the
republic, and when every man has lost
faith then paralysis followed. What
we wanted was observation-disclosures But
unfortunate as our situation was today,
it would have been worse if, instead of
having national bank money, we
tinuing he said: ut is not
+ important that we find some
body to blame for our present financial
diStruSt, but it is OF paramount import
ance that we find some way out. I'm
certainty and diStruSt lie at the founda-
ton of the serious financial and indus
trial condition that confronts US. There
is nothing so sensitive in this world as
capital and trade and commerce, and
business men everywhere are sure to
discount their fears of the future.
Whatever influence the Sherman law.
sO-called, may have upon the present
conditions, it is by no means the chief
cause Of our trouble. The great cause
is elsewhere found, and those who
cannot discover iJ are blinded by
partisanship. Manufacturers are not
going to produce for the future when
their products made under present con-
GitiOnS may have to compete with like
products made under other and differ
emit conditions. Manufacturers ars not
going to produce iron or steel, cotton OF
wooden goods under the present rates of
duty on the raw materials and the
finished product, which in SIX or twelve
months may nave to meet i'll the same
market iron and steel and cotton and
wooden goods made with raw material
free and the finished product with a
diminished duty. Manufact urers are
not going TO produce for the future
and pay protective tariff wages, when
their products may have to compete
with like products under free trade
wages. Let me tell what would be the
cure-an authoritative declaration of
| Congress when 1t meets next Monday,
approved by the president, that the
threatened changes will not take place,
that they did not mean it, or if they
meant it, they have discovered they
were wrong. If they will DO that next
| Monday the fears of the business world
will be quieted. and business will re-
| sumo its normal condition.

To Senator Stewart belongs more

his mind that the only way to insure
