MADE SENSATION
GIadstone's Contribution to
Irish Parliamentary Fund
Has Stirred Up All Political Parties
in England to High Pitch.

LONDON, Sept. 1. - The Gladstone
Tweedmouth contribution OF G1OO each to
The irish parliamentary. tund- sis~-esus-
ing sensation in all political
parties. Baron Tweedmouth, in for
warding his contribution, wrote to Mr..
Justin Mccarthy, chairman of the
Irish Parliamentary party from Scotland,
saying that he had received note from
Mr. Gladstone, enclosing a check for 100
pounds to be forwarded to the fund. The
Unionists are making much of the fact
that none of the money which is said to
be pouring into the Irish Golfers is going
to the evicted tenants.
The Globe this afternoon commenting
upon these contributions says that a
double effect will be felt by this
subsidy, adding that it will keep
the McCarthyites In good temper and
that the evicted tenants will become
more exasperated than ever. The Globe
also says: "If Mr.. Gladstone and Baron
Tweedmouth have taken this action with
out consulting the Prem or or Sir Will
liam Harcourt, it savors Of springing q
mine upon them"

peared behind the footlights other than
as an orator.

the two yachts set their spinnakers for
the run to the westward mark on
the second round. The wind was
about N. W., and it veered a
trifie astern as they again disappeared
in the foggy haze on their way westward.
Only slight air was stirring and both
yachts were soon completely cnveloped in
the haze, and consequently for some time
afterward nothing could be recorded Of
their movements from the shore.
Now and then the fog would lift little
and brief glimpse was caught OF the two
yachts on their way to the western mark
on the second round. The breeze con-
tinued steady and from the northwest.
The vigilant Leads.
The yachts ran along slowly with spin
makers set, and on this leg the vigilant
began to creep up to the 6atanita and
overhaul her. Although the cutter tried
to prevent the sloop from passing her
the vigilant slipped by. Owing to the
mist no times could be taken at the mark
boat on the second round, but the Vigi-
liant rounded it ahead of the Satanita.
Then followed another period OF un-
certainty as to the positions of the yachts
both of them being hidden from view by
the mist, but on the second leg while
they were making for the eastern mark,
the fog lifted slightly and 1t could be
made out that they were both tacking In
shore with vigilant about three minutes
In the lead.
As far as could be judged, by this time
it was apparent that the race was 4
repetition of the unsatisfactory state
of affairs recorded yesterday, and, allow
ing for the slow progress, the. yachts
were making it was admitted that there
was no prospect that they would finish
for some hours. II was believed, how
ever, the sailing COMMITTEES cf the start
Yacht Club would decide the winner upon
the completion of the second round.

Both yachts got away carrying all plain
sail. 1t was free reach to the western
mark N q light, though steady air.
The VigiIant from the start drew gradu-
ally away, and had put about a
dozen lengths between herself and Sata-
nita before mile of the first reach bad
been completed. The wind, however,
then began to get lighter and the haze,
like yesterday became thicker. Before
the western mark was reached the two
yachts were almost obscured from view.
1t was seen though that when they were
about half way out TO the western mark
the two yachts had set their spinmakers
and the wind off shore had hauled aft.
When the boats rounded the western
mark, at the end OF the first leg on the
first round, they were completely OBJ
scured from view ashore and consequently
no accurate times could be taken.
At IL :30a. IN. slight lift in the haze
showed dimly tho two racers beating up
to the eastern mark, with vigilaut hold
ing a long lead, but on different
tack from Satanta. The Sa-
tanita was standing further in shore
and feeling along the land and appeared
to be going faster than theVigilant though
the latter was in the better position for
making the eastern mark. Having
come about for the third time
near land, the Satanita stood off straight
for the eastern mark and was soon after
ward lost sight of in the fog. The Vigil
liant had previously disappeared In the
same ghostly surrounding, and the wind
dropped TO mere land breeze.
The Satanita made great gain, IL was
afterwards seen, by standing in shore ana
she got fine land breeze when she event.
ualy stood away for the eastern mark,
and was to windward OF her competitor.
The vigilant rounded the mark Just
little ahead OF the Satanita and was hold
her own, apparently at the commence
ment OF the broad race for the home
mark, but nearing that point, the
Sataniia pulled ahead and at the end of
the first round the British yacht had a
lead OF i6 seconds on the reboarder.

The times OF the two yachts at the end

BANKS IS DEAD.
The Gallant Soldier and En-
inent Statesman Gone.


wALrHAM, Mass. Sept. 1.-General
Nathaniel p. Banks, soldier, orator, states
man, died at his home on Main street,
this city, shortly before O'Clock this
morning from brain trouble, after long
illness.
For nearly two years the General has
been sufferer but he was not taken scri-
ousIy Ill until two weeks ago. Early this
summer he appeared to become weaker
mentally and was taken to the home
OF his daughter, the wife Of
Rev. Paul Sterling at Deer
Isle, Me-, for the summer. Three weeks
ago his condition became serious and he
was brought to his home here. He grew
worse and was then taken to the Mclean
Asylum at somerville. He sue
cumbed rapidly and when he could
no longer recognize members of his
family, it was decided by the physicians
that nothing could be done for him and
yesterday he was once again conveyed to
his home. He began to sink rapidly, and
at o'clock last evening 1t was evil
dent that the end was fast
approaching. Mrs. Banks, with
the Generals daughter, Maud, and his
niece, Miss sybel Banks, were at his bed
side constantly until his death. DIR. f. II.
Cutler, who has attended him for some
years, was also present until early this
morning. At midnight the General be-
came unconscious, and he slowly lost
strength until the hour of his death,
without regaining consciousness.
The end came very quietly and those
gathered about the bed of the dying Gem
eral were barely aware that he had passed
away, for . short time.
On the announcement of General Banks
death, the flags on all public buildings
througout the city were at once displayed
ut half mast and on every side evidences of
the respect i'm which the General was held
are conspicious. Mayor K. Warden will
call public meeting to give the citizens
OF the city an opportunity to fittingly ex-
press their appreciation of the sterling
qualities OF tho dead soldier.
The funeral will take place on next
Tuesday afternoon under the direction of
Mayor Warden and Colonel Ephraim
Stevens. On Monday afternoon the body
will be escorted to Asbury Temple by
detail Of the q. A.. r., where II
will lie in state until Monday evening.
On Tuesday afternoon at :45 O'Clock
brief services will be held at the residence,
after which the body will be again borne
to Asbury Temple, where the public SER
vices will be held. The service
will probably DO conducted by
Rev. Thomas FaIes, pastor Of the
church, assisted by Rev. II. T.. Cunning
ham OF the Christ Episcopal church. An
eulogy will also be pronounced, probably
by some member of the @. A. II. Inter-
ment will be at Grove Hill Cemetery.
Joseph Banks, son of General, arrived
from New York this forenoon. His SON.
in-iaw, Rev. Paul Sterling, has also
arrived from Maine and his daughter,
Mrs. Sterling, win be here Monday.

vICILANT WON.
It Was Only a Drifting Match
at the Best.
The Satanita Gave Up. and the Race
Was Awarded to the vigiIant.

DARTMOUTH, Eng, Sept. Ito the
great disappointment of yachting men
generally when the sun rose to- day, 1t
was seen that there was a thick haze
over the waters of the bay and out
to sea and the wind was light from tho
north, with little prospects of freshening.
Consequently a days unsatisfactory
racing, similar to that of yes
terday, was anticipated. This was
not calculated to Gauge any degree of en-
thusiasm anywhere, especially as the
decision of the sailing committee of
the Royal Dartmouth Yacht Club yester-
day in not awarding the prize TO the
vigilant because the race could not be
finished in the time limit has caused
considerable dissatisfaction. 1t is
admitted that the sailing COM
mittee acted strictly according to
the rules of the clnb, but in view of the
fact that they decided the race for the 40
raters on the first round, it is thought
they might have acted little more gener-
ously toward the American yacht.
Both the Vigilant and the Satanifa
were catered today for the race arranged
for yachts over 40 rating. The regatta
was under the auspices of the Start Bay
Yacht. Club, The prize was 35 guineas
and the course was triangular one, as
follows:
The Course.
From Dartmouth range to mark boat,
four miles 10 westward, thence to the
Eastward mark, distance OF five miles,
and back to the range, another
five mic leg or total distance OF
IA miles for once around the course, three
times around this course to complete the
race, the total distance being AZ miles.
The Vigilant got the better of the first
struggles for position and it 1880 a. M,
when the starting gun was fired, the AM
erican yacht had the windward position
and the lead, and crossed the line ahead
OF the Satanita.

General Nathaniel Prentiss Banks was
born Jan. 30, 1916, in Waltham, Mass.
His father was superintendent
in Q cotton factory and Nathaniel
ct an early age was put to
work with HIM. The boy devoted all his
leisure hours to study, and soon gave evil
dence of-his talents. He embraced every
opportunity to speak before a school, club
or even public meeting of citizens, aud
soon took rank as q lecturer before local
lyceums. He became editor of a local
paper, then studied law, and in 1S4s was

The next year he presided over the con-
stitutional convention, and Immediately
after took his seat in the thirty-third

new issues were up and new
alignment of parties was at hand.
In 1864, rs Know Nothing, he
carried his district by an overwhelming
majority over both whig and Democratic
candidates. The memorable struggle in
electing speaker in the 34th Congress
gave Mr.. Banks q world wide fame. On
the 1880 ballot, after q contest lasting two
months, he was chosen by plurality only,
the House having agreed that the rule re-
quiringa majority should be set aside.
The vote stood; Banks 103, Aiken OF south

He filed the Office with dignity and
ability, and was reelected to the Thirty
ffth Congress by an increased majority,
