ated. In their hurry they left their
burglars tools behind them. The tin

A letter from Richmond in speaking
of the defeat OF Congressman Wise
says: 1t was apparent in the primary
that Mr.. Wise lost some votes for the
reason that he had the misfortune to be
member of the present Congress,
whose non action on the tariff question
has disguised many people. While
there was nothing in Wise's course to
set the people against him a good many
voters declared openly that they want
ed to see clean sweep OF Senators and
Representatives Some of the express
sions as to the course of Congress would
have made interesting reading for the
lawmakers at Washington.

COLONEL WATRoUs DENOUNCED
Col. ]. A. Watrous, department COM
mander of Wisconsin, who has been de-
nounced by Phil Kearney Post, G. a.
R., of Richmond, for interfering with
the collection of funds in the North for
the decoration of soldiers graves in the
South, by reporting that the money
was used to build hall at Richmond:
says he wants the matter taken up by
the national encampment. Phil kear-
ney Post has adopted resolutions alleg-
ing the utter falsity and groundlessness
of the charges and asserting that the
surplus funds accruing each year after
Memorial Day expenses are cleared up
are held sacred to the purposes for
which they are raised also that the
memorial committee be authorized to
prepare statement to be presented to
the national encampment, and that the
post demand an investigation by the
national encampment in order to secure
vindication of its conduct.

HUMAN NATURE is the same in all

HUMAN NATURE is the same in all

TO-DAY'S TELEGRApHIC NEWS
The yiriIant Wins the Gun


CowEs, England, Aug. 1.-THE ocean
yacht race between the Nigilant and
the Britannia for the $500 cup was
started this morning. a multitude of
sight-seers, in which royalty was well
represented, gathered to see the con-
test between the American sloop and
the Prince of Wales's cutter. There
never has been more respondent fleet
of pleasure craft in the Solent at any
previous race in British yachting annals.
The course over which to-day's race
was sailed is from the yacht club house
to and around Warner light; thence to
and around East Lepe buoy, finishing
ut the club HOUSEWIFE around, a dis
lance of forty-eight miles. There was
a fair southwest wind blowing IS both
yachts crossed the line together at 10:
3O:O5, with the Britannia to windward.
The breeze gave promise of freshenlEg,
and towards the close Of the first round
the sea was broken in white caps. The
Yigilant soon showed her superiority
over her rival in o fresh breeze, the
yachts finishing the first round as fol-
lows Vigilant 10000 Britannia 1:04-:
40, the Yigilant leading by 4 minutes
and 10 seconds.
The wind from the Warner to the
finish was blowing about fifteen knots.
The crowds OF Brtons on the shores
evidently did not like the result Of the
contest. As the Vigilant came bounding
up to the finish on the last round,
smashing the spray from her bow, the
silence became oppressive. When she
dashed across the line, mile ahead of
the Britannia, there were no shrieks of
applauding whistles and resounding
cheers from the throngs ashore. Only
single foot came over the water, and
that was from an American yacht. The
victory clearly shows that the Vigilant
is the better boat in stiff, steady
breeze. She was FIVE minutes and
twenty-eight seconds ahead at the
finish.

SHE Won HIM.-A complicated love
affair had a picturesque and even dra-
matte ending in Prospect Park, Brook
Ign, Thursday evening. Nellie Mead
den and Mamie Butler, both Brooklyn
girls, visited the lake, accompanied by
Frederick Boehm, a welldressed young
man. After some preliminaries each of
the young women jumped into light
skifi and pulled from the boathouse to
the end of the lake, about one mile.
Miss Butler won by boats length,
and upon disembarking seized the
young man by the arm and both disap-
peared Miss McFadden looked dis
consulate and wept. The girls were
rival sweethearts for the young mans
affections. As they both couldn't mar
~ him, they determined to row race
for the prize. A duel had been talked
of, but the idea had been abandoned.

The MEN who essayed the latest vain
task OF preventing another man in this
free country from conducting his own
business in bis own way, have been re-
duced to such extremity that they are
now begging for meat anG bread for
themselves and those dependent upon
them for support. 1t is natural that
their sufierings should evoke practical
sympathy, but that they have only
themselves to blame for their pitiable
plight is plain tc every reasonable man.
In the meantime Mr.. Debs continues to

WHY THE administration should go
to the trouble and expense of nquirlng,
through its consuls,as TO the best means
of extending and increasing the trade
of this country, is hard TO tell, in view
ofthe fact,well known, certainly to every
intelligent man outside of aeministTa-
ton circles, if not to those within them,
that the two causes of the restricted
foreign trade of the United States are
the protective tariff, which compels
foreign merchants to pay for American
products with scarce gold, instead OF
with the plentiful goods Of their own
countries, and the existing navigation
laws. The CAUSE of an evil being
known, its removal is all that is re-
uuired to effect cure.

rare loneliness on Friday evening last,
when Mrs. Sallie T. Love entertained
her friends at dance in honor of the
Misses Mosby, her sister, Miss Tyler,
Mrs Judge Stuart and Cadet Monroe
Love of Annapolis. AS the moon was
late rising, by the soft light ofJapanese
lanterns could be seen strolling around
the lawn handsome men and pretty
girls in evening dress. Mrs. Love, in
her usual cordial manner, welcomed
her guests, and about $50 p. M, from
the orchestra, which was stationed in
the bay window of the parlor, could be
heard the strains of the Magnolia
Waltz" warning the couples that the
dance had begun. Mrs. Loves several
dances have been most enjoyable this
season, but the party when saying
goodbye, at . o'clock, pronounced this
the one of the season. The guests pre-
sent were Misses Wells, Moore, Mon

CHINA-JAPAN.-A cablegram was re-
ceived at the Japanese legation in
Washington yesterday evening, saying
that on the 18th ultimo portion of the
Japanese troops, stationed at Seoul,
made an advance upon the Chinese
position at Shan Yeng, which contained
larger number of soldiers than in the
Japanese body, and after fight, which
lasted several hours, the Chinese were
routed and driven from their strong
hold. Many prisoners and munitions of
war were captured, and, on the morn
ing of The 30tb, the japanese troops pro-
ceeded to march to Gasan.
The legation has not yet received any
news of fight at the latter place, and
believes, in view of what has been re-
ceived about the battle at Shang Yeng,
that the reports of the Chinese victory
at Asian or Yashan have been con-
fused with battle which took place at
Gasan.
The legation yesterday received de-
tailed dispatch from Japan confirming
the accounts of the sinking of the Britt
ish transport Kow Shing, and reiterat-
ing the assertion that the fight was be-
gun by the firing ola torpedo from the
Chinese war-ship Chinuen upon the
japanese cruiser Naniwa Kan.
The Emperor of China has issued an
edict declaring China's claim in Corea,
and ordering the capture and destruc-
ton of Japanese ships wherever found.
a number of Chinese soldiers who de-
serted during the march to Taku were
beheaGed.
