LAST WORDS AGAINST REPEAL.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 9.-The Federal
Elections Repeal bill was. taken up when
the House convened to-day. This is the
last day of discussion and a caucus of
the Democrats will be held tonight to
decide whether the Tucker bill or the

The probabilities are the Tucker bill,
the more radical measure, will pass.
Mr.. Aldrich (Rep. Ills and Mr.. Deliver

WASHINGTON. Oct. (Which ever

confident of victory was given to-day
when Senator Hill informsd several of
his friends that unconditional repeai
would pass and he expected the vote
would be taken before the week ended.
There has been no talk of eompro.

NEW YORK, Oct. 8. While everything
was quiet of shore at Bay Ridge, where
the Valkyrie and Vigilant lay peacefully
at anchor yesterday, there was plenty of
excitement on shore. and at the lowest
estimate over 1000 persons visited that
usually quiet suburb yesterday to get
view of the rival racers. The high bluff
just south of Fifty-f fifth street was
thronged with spectators during the
day, while the beach just north Of the
club house, all the way from Fifty sixth
street to Owls Head, was lined with
eager curiosity seekers, while any
number of tugboats aud excursion
steamers came down from the city and
sailed around the two yachts.
At Bay Ridge a regular ferry was es.
tablished between the shore and the
racers, and for the moderate sum of 25
cents one could obtain a fifteen minutes
sail and good view of the yachts. OF
course the Dunraven cutter came in for
a good share of the attention, and she
was surrounded all day by numerous sail
and row boats. No one was allowed on
board, however, with the possible excep-
tion of very pretty 15-year old girl,
who attracted even more attention than
the yacht. Lord Dunraven was expected
during the afternoon, but did not come.
Captain Cranfeld said everything was
quiet on the cutter, and that he had
granted shore leave to over two-thirds of
the crew. He added that not a rope yarn
had been parted in Saturdays race, and
that all he wanted for the next race was
fair breeze and not a fuke, like the
struggle on Saturday.
On the Vigilant, Captain Hansen, who
was found near the wheel, said there
was nothing new, and that no visitors
had been allowed on board in the alb.
sence of Mr.. Iselin. When lcongratu
lated on Saturdays victory, he said:
That's all right, we will win every
race. All we want is good breeze. and
the more wind the better we shall like
it,"
He added that Mr.. Iselin and Mr.. Her.
reshoff had gone ashore early in the day,
and would not be back until late. The
sailors on duty were smoking or talking
forward, and, in spite of their alleged
10 difference to the English. cutter, they
could not keep their eyes of her. The
Valkyrie's crew apparently could not
see anything in sight but the Vigilant
and, if looks went for anything, q
very substantial pair of back stairs
could have been constructed from their
constant gaze.

Later.


NEW YORK, Oct. 9-The day for the
second race between the yachts Vigilant
and Valkyrie opened with Vigilant
weather, the prevailing conditions being
almost exactly those OF Saturday.
There was not cloud in the sky at
sunrise and the breeze that blew was
not strong enough to make white caps.
As the sun rose the wind increased, and
came up from the southwest at the rate
of thirteen miles an hour.
The course to-day was a triangular
one of thirty nautical miles, ten miles on
each leg. The start was from Sandy
Hook Lightsthlp. This course being diff
ferent from that of Saturday, promises
to bring out some hitherto undeveloped
qualities in the two racers.
Great Rush of sieht-seers.
The rush to see the race was almost as
great as that of Saturday and the excur
sion steamers were jammed. There was
not much betting but what wagers were
made were on the basis of to 3 in favor
of Vigilant. Backers Of Valkyrie snapped
up these odds greedily.
Several steamers were chaTtered to day
by amateur and professional photogra-
piers who expect TO get some fine views
of the boats under full sail at various
points. The two racers towed to the
starting point early and the flagship May
with the Cup Committee on board and
stake boats followed later. Tho excur
sion steamships were early warned by
the police boat to keep at safe distance
from the rival yachts, complaints having
been lodged by the Valkyrie's skipper
that some of the excursion steamers had
robbed Valkyrie of the wind on Satur-
day.
At 10.45 the wind had increased tC
nineteen miles an hour and old salts said
that if the wind held good from one
point all day the race would be finished
and the result would be conclusive IN
proving the best test of all around sail
ing qualities that can be devised at ths
beat to windward. the ten mile run ano
ten mile reach home would give the
talent on the yachts the best chance t'
display their strategy and ability al
seamen.

TroIleymen nIust Wear WhIte Neeltlel

NEW YORK, Oct. 9.-The motormen
and conductors on the electric road be-
tween Newark and Iryington were sur
prised on Saturday by an order from the
Office of the Consolidated Traction Com
pany to the effect that they must there
after wear. white collars and neckties.
The men have been seeking comfort in
neglige. shirts, and were inclined to
grumble at the interference with their
personal predictions, but they will not
quarrel with their bread and butter. One
man said that hereafter he would wear
full dress after six o'clock in the evening
but he would resign if the officers of the
road ever asked him to wear It in the
day time.

"The VigIant's victory was fairly

Mr. BHSh's View.

The friends of Mr.. Bush did not
forget that he was to be a passenger
by the Australia, and they hurried
down in some number to meet him.
Before the steamer got up to the
dock he was at his old habits,
making a speech. His friends
crowded round the gang plank, and
carried him off in fine style in a
wagonette.
An ADVERTISER representative
found Mr.. Bush on the upper YER
andah of his home on Punchbowl
street, decorated with yellow leis,
and in the bosom of his family.
Mr.. Bush expresses himself with
moderation on the situation. He
says that there is a strong feeling in
the United States that if the reasons
in favor of annexation prove to be
good, the country should be an
nexed. A commission has been
appointed to come down and inves-
tigate the whole situation, and, says
Mr.. Bush, everything now viii DE-
pend upon them. 1t was evident.
from the tone of Mr.. Bush's re-
marks. that he sees annexation is
not far off. When questioned as to
his own attitude, Mr.. Bush was
rather non-committal, but said he
would of course look after the in
terests of his people. 1t is well
known that he has been a strong
annexationist in the past.

From One of the Commissioners.

4 private telegram from one of
the Commissioners remaining in
Washington says: All we'll.
Cleveland's Commissioners will
visit Hawaii. Annexation delayed.
Rio Janeiro may touch March 80"
A private letter from the same
source gives some information as to
the proceedings Of Mr.. Neumann.
He is lobbying vigorously, but it is
predicted that he will over-reach
himself. He says that he expects
and wants annexation, but, as the
Queens attorney, he proposes to
get what he can. Failing her res
toration, he hopes to get for her the
total income Of the Crown Lands
for the term of her natural life.
This means no doubt a big COM
mission for Paul, say six or seven
thousand dollars year, in addition
to his, big fee, and so he may be
trusted to work hard. Whatever
happens, says the Commissioner,
there is no danger that the Queen
or Kaiulani will ever be restored.

Mr.. MarSden,s Views.
another.

Mr.. Marsden was seen by an
ADVERTISER reporter Immediately
upon the arrival of the steamer.
He expresses himself as satisfied
with the situation. The withdrawal
of the Treaty from the Senate by
President Cleveland is not looked
upon as . sign of hostility. He
wished to e the matter into his
own hands, and act after due de-
liberation, as he naturally did not
wish to make his administration
responsible for so important a step
without inquiry. The Treaty must
of course be withdrawn, if a Com
mission was to be sent down. The
Commission named are good men
in whom we can place confidence.
In respond to an inquiry Mr..
Marsden said that the Commission
has not been officially appointed
but there was no doubt that they
would be Congressman Blount OF
| Georgia, Gen. Schofeld and Admi-
raj Brown. Others had been nam
ed, but he had talked with news
paper men, in particular with a
representative of the Chicago
Tribune at the last moment,
and it was their opinion that the
three named were the men. The
Rush is ready for sea, and it is the
general opinion that she will bring
the Commission down. She is a
boat of about the size of the Clau,
dine and would come down in
about nine days. Mr.. Marsden
thinks that she will be here in
eight or ten days, and that the
rest of the Hawaiian Commission
| will be on board of her.
"What was the cause of the
delay, Mr.. Marsden?"

Te steamer Australia arrived
this morning shortly after 8 o'clock
from San Francisco with news that
was considered very encouraging
even by people who are accus-
toned to see everything through
blue glasses.
The Oceanic dock, it is safe to
say, has never held such crowd of
eager people as it did this morn
ing. Everybody and his wife was
there, and when the news reached
them there was sigh of relief
from the lips of nearly all present.
The mention of the names OF
ex-Congressman Blount, Admiral
Brown and General Schofeld as
the ones who will compose
the Commission which will visit
these islands was very salts
factory to every good annexa-
ZIONIST in this city. They are ex-
pected to arrive here within the
next two weeks. If they do not
come on the through steamer they
will voyage down in one of the
United States naval vessels now at
Mare Island.
The news is cheering, and the
general verdict among the friends
of the Government is owe are more
than satisfied"
