 HARTsELLE, July 2l-ISpecial. l-Capt. Joseph F. Johnston addressed over 120C people at Valhermosso Springs yesterday and over 1000 people at Center Point today. His speeches were model democratic ones and the kind to do the party great good. He presented able and convincing argu- ments why the democratic party should be retained in power and earnestly pleaded for the support of Colonel Oates and the ticket. He compared Kolb and Oates and showed conclusively from both a business and political standpoint why Colonel Oates should be elected.
 He extended q cordial invitation to all the Kolbites to come home and occupy the houses of their fathers. There were a great many Hobbies present at both points and there is no doubt of scores of changes taking place.

vidlLANT FINALLY WINS A RACE FROM
 BRITANNIA.


 BRITANNIA.
 KINGsTowN, Ireland, July 21.-Luck in faint breezes and ability in brisk winds gave victory to the American sloop Vi1i- lant in the fifty mile race today three times over the kite-shaped course of the royal St. Georges Yacht club. The Briton was beaten 3 minutes and 39 seconds actual time. With an allowance of minute and 10 seconds the Britannia's defeat will be minutes and 23 seconds. The contest was long drawn out, the average speed of the duellists being about 6.6 nautical miles per hour. The Vigilant covered the course in hours, 50 minutes and seconds, and the Brittan ia in hours, 53 minutes and 42 seconds. There were moments when there was some real racing, but taken as whole the contest was inconcusive. The Vigi- lant led at every mark save one, and was in brisk run to the Kish lightship on the third round nearly niue minutes ahead.
 There was depressing influence for the noted as they emerged from the com panlon- ways this morning, and cast a weather eye skyward. They have been almost convinced by the successes of the Britannia in light winds that she is bet ter yacht when whitecaps are invisible, and they were prepared for hopeless stern chase of the Briton. The wind was light from northward. and from the overcast sky there came occasional bursts of rain.
 The course was the same as in yester- days fiuky contest. From mark boat at the mouth of the harbor, opposite the breakwater, the first leg extends to the ortheast to Rosebeg, about three and half miles. The sscoud leg runs seaward i've miles about east southeast to the skish lightship, then southwest to the Muglins, the final leg being from the Mug lins home, about two and a half miles.

WITH THE NAVY
Admiral Walker Ordered Home and Commodore Beardslee to Succeed
 Him.-All Quiet at Hawaii.

WASHINGTON, July 21.-Secretary Her bert has sent orders to Admiral Walker directing him to re. urn on the Philadelphia and relinqush his command of the Pacific squadron to Commodore Beardslee, at San Francisco. These orders will go forward by the steamer leaving San Francisco the 26th instant and should be delivered 10 the admiral not later than August 2. As the flagship Philadelphia is already coaied, it is expected she will sail for home day or ! two later, but on account of the foul condition of her hull below the water line, due to the fact she has not been cleaned for year, she may not reach San Francisco before August l5. On her arrival at the Mare island navy yard Ad-
 miral Walker will haul down his flag, which will be replaced by Commodore Beardslee's pennant, and the admiral will come east to take charge of the naval academy. The Philadelphia will be decked and thoroughly overloaded preparatory to a cruise in South American waters.
 For some time, at least a week or two if not longer, Hawaii may be left without the protection afforded by a United States warship in Honolulu harbor. It has been decided by the administration that no ne- cessity exists for keeping an admiral in Hawaiian waters, and the next United States naval commander to protect Ameri- can intrests in the island will have a cap tain's rank.
 The cruiser Charleston, Capt. George w. Coffin, is under orders to proceed to Hon. olulu as soon as she can be made ready. She recently returned to San Francisco from Rio and has been undergoing repairs and thorough cleaning at the Mare island navy yard, which is almost completed. Another cause that may delay her depart ure is the fact that 16S of her men, consist ing of one company of marines, two com panies of blue jackets and her battery of four machine guns, is now ashore doing guard duty at Oakland during the railroad disturbance. When that situation is so far improved as to permit this force to return to the ship there will probably be nothing to prevent the Charleston' s departure.
 The latest reports from Admiral Walker show peaceful condition of affairs in Hawaii and these have influenced the ad- ministretion ia running the risk of leaving their minister there without protection for a short period The British warship Cham pion is still there, as well as the Japanese gunboat Kon Col. It is claimed that as the new republic proclaimed on the 4th of July last has been fully and firmly estab- lished, according to dispatches received from Hawaii, there is no ground for ap- prehension from the presence of these war vessels and the brief absence of vessel representing the United States.
