oft-times victorious Britannia, and she
did it under conditions that have herto

She finished the fifty-mile cruise 3 mill

allowance, which will reduce it about l
minute 10 seconds. The prize competed
for was $500 oered byff the Royal st.
George Yacht club, and the course the
same as that sailed yesterday. A light
breeze was blowing at the start; it did not
increase TO any appreciable extent dur

times died away so that the yachts could
make no Roadway. The Vigilant crossed
the starting line "a seconds ahead At
the conclusion of the first round of the
course, which is nearly quadrangle, she
was 1 minutes % seconds in the lead,

of the mother. her babies and the nurse
was on July /, when they landed OH
Ellis island from the steamship Teutonic.
Her husband preceded her to this counery

not inform her Of his address i'll America,
and when she landed at Ellis island she
did not know which way to 90 to look for
him. That may not have been her object
In coming to America. The ellis island

the authorities investigated. Nothing

that she was in receipt of an income,
and she displayed $3.50 in gold in response

evening destroyed the market and sew
eral other buildings. Damage aggregat-
ing $475, 600 was done before the flames

of the city. The flames broke out in the
commission house of Dosworth & Drew,
located in the center of the new Central
market building, which was bounded by
Second and Third avenues north and
Sixth and Seventh streets, covering an
entire block. The building was owned
by the new Market company and was
erected at cost of $250,O0O, and opened
about the time of the Republican ma
tional convention in 1892. In addition
to its purposes as market it was used
by 80 commission merchants, 1873 stands

prevail to the scheme of tariff reform ere
ated by the House No man had been
more intensely interested in this contest
than the President.
The letter from President Cleveland
was then sent to the clerks desk and
read.
The reference in the Presidents letter
to the sugar question as delicate"
matter aroused great Republican jeers
and hearty applause on the Democratic
side. although not the cheering which had
interrupted Mr.. Wilson.
Mr. Reed, who was applauded as he
rose again. said that he took it for grant
ed that Mr.. Wilson had observed all the
prophecies III having read a personal let
ter in public. He referred to 1.-The re-
markable spectacle of the President ad-
dressing a letter to the House through
his faithful servant Of the committee of
ways and means. Was such a stroke
contemplated III the constitution? he
asked. Republicans would have no com
plant to make of the harsh language
used toward the Senate; that was a mat
ter between the Senate and the President
for history to decide who was right BY
the consent of the President an income
tax would be had. Evidently the Presi-
dent, III the controversy between the
Sugar trust, a home corporation and the
great corporation which was to exploit
the coal mines of Nova Scotia, took the
part VI LIE DOSIOI COIpULdIlOE.
At 500 the motion to insist on the
House disagreement to the Senate amend
ments was adopted without division and
the bill was sent back to Congress- The
Speaker appointed the same conferees.
At 2:10 p. N. the conference report was
received III the Senate.
The impression prevails among shrewd
congressman late today that the big fuss
made by the Democrats in the House over
the Senate tariff bill was purely for effect.
1t is now thought an agreement is prac-
tically reached. BY this agreement the
duty on sugar, both raw and refined, is
to be reduced. The duty on coal will be
cut to % cents per ton, and the duty on
iron ore Will also be reduced. 1t is not
believed the entire duty on iron will be
cut off, SO the iron ore interests in the
Northwest will fare better than in the
original Wilson bill.
One of the latest rumors af1oat about
the tariff situation today is that if the
agreement is not reached within ten days
the question will be postponed until the
winter session. 1t is known there is
considerable foundation for this story

SUIT FOR ELEVEN MILLIONS.
Kansas Pacific Bondholders Seek 10
Recover from Russell Sage
and the Gould Estate.

New York, July 21.-The Kansas Pa
cific bondholders committee, of which 81
las Z. butcher is chairman, has entered
suit in the United States circuit court
for New York, in the name OF John
Quincy Adams. against Russell Sage ana
the estate of JAY Gould to recover SILL
100000, being the proceeds OF securities
alleged to have been taken from the
trust.
Under the deed of trust executed to
Sage and Gould about 100000 of the
capital stock of the Denver Pacific Kali
way company were deposited with the
trustees as collateral security for the
payment of the Kansas Pacihc conSoldat-
ed bonds. These securities have been,
it is charged taken out of the trust. and
the proceeds applied by the trustees 10
their individual benefits.
The latter claimed to have obtained
title to them through Il suit which they III
stituted in the name of the kans;ts Ia
cific Railway company (which was con,
trolled by them against themselves. All
that they alleged in these proceedings. 1t
is contended was that the Denver Ia
cific stock was of little value, and that
the mortgage company would like TO have
it. Upon these allegations and within
a period Of seven days they obtained
an order from Judge DonOhue OF the
New York Supreme court TO take the
trust stock out of the trust and turn II
back to the railway company. The com
pany thereupon, it is alleged. handed the
stock or the proceeds thereof, over to
Gould and Sage, who it is alledged, have
retained it for their personal purposes.
The complaint in the suit also charges
that the proceedings gave no color of
legality to the acts of Gould and Sage
who, they now claim, to be accountable
for the trust property which with pre-
miums. dividends and interest, now
amounts, it is claimed, to more than S11,-
100000
1t is asked that the Gould executors
and Russell Sage be called upon to ac-
count for the funds, and that Sage and
George Gould be removed from the trus-
teeship.
Russell Sage was seen this afternoon
by an Associated Press reporter, but de-
clinad to go into the merits of the suit.
He said: Everything that / have done
as trustee in this business is 4 matter of
record and | am content to stand by the
record The answer to the suit will be
made through counsel, and | prefer to say
nothing on the subject now save that all
the proceedings are regular.

party; no President can dictate to his par
ty; no President can change his party
platform.
But no matter what idea it NAV he
claimed was intended to be conveyed in
his letter of acceptance in mitigation or
modification of the PLATFORM there can
be no doubt as to the Presidents posi-
ton at this time upon this essential prin-
ciple of free raw materials. Let me read
from that remarkable letter of the Presi-
dents which yesterday was submitted to
the House of Representatives. 1t eX-
presses better than | can hope to do the
true, sound and logical position OF the
Democratic party upon this question
After reading extracts from this letter,
Mr.. Hill continued:
Mr.. President, | approve every word
that | have quoted. 1t is an honest and
manly statement of the true attitude
which the party should assume in this
crisis. l am not required to defend the
propriety or wisdom of the PRONUNCIATION
of this letter at this peculiar time. 1t
may have been indiscreet; it may oper.
ate as a frebrand to spread the flames
of discord already kindled among party
friends, honestly differing, as | am dis
posed to concede upon questions OF pub
lie and party policy. 1t was a time for
diplomacy, craftsmanship and concilia-
ton, rather than recrimination, denuncla-
ton and arraignment. But aside from
the question of its mere expediency, l
am here to defend the Presidents letter
insofar as it demands that the party shall
not be led astray into the violation of
Democratic pledges and principles. Upon
the question of free raw materials the
President is right and YOU know it. You
cannot answer his arguments. You can
not successfully dispute his propositions.
You cannot doubt his sincerity and pa

The speech, now famous, has doubtless been placed in printed pamphlet form. but if not it should be done without delay and given a wide circulation in the territory.

LOUISIANA IS DOUBTFUL.

Democrats who have laughed down the threats of the Louisiana planters as meaningless Repu bican agitation will not De able to hide their apprehension now. The planters and many stauncb Democratic leaders have come over to the Republicans. They did not ao it secretly or cowardlv, but with meaning declarations of their intention to sever connection with the party of treachery and false reform.
 Louisiana can now be rated as dou bt- tul state-doubtful if the Democrats elect any congressman to speak of.
 There are two causes responsible for this break in the ranks in Louisiana. The Introduction of partial free trade, carrying with it side issue abolisbing sugar bounties on crops in the ground before the act was passed and the im- migration into that state in recent years of large nu n bers of northern people. The influx of northerrers. however, Is the lesser of the two causes. Louisiana can be said to have bolted Democracy, with nothing but the party>s acton sponsible.
 It is TO idle jest that this stuffed organization has killed itself more than Repu blicanism has killed it.
 It's life has been it's death-blow.
