Tho Yacht Race Postponed.

CowEs, Aug. Is. The race between
the Britannia and Yigilant for q $500
cup, has been postponed until Saturday.
The gale is tossing up dangerous
white-crested seas in the channel,
through which it would have been fool
hardy for the yachts to race. The Wig
liant, however, was willing to risk the
tussle in the tumult if the Britannia
wanted 70 dc so. If the yachts had
been adventurous enough to go out
side o-day, no steam craft would have
accompanied them. Reefs would have
been down to the last thread and the
race would have had little significance.
Both yachts are in perfect condition.
The Vigilant tested her new sails yes

able that the Satauita will defend the
Cape May cup instead OF the Britannia.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Aug. 15.-The
democratic State convention met here
this morning with full representation
Of delegates. At 8 o'clock this morn
ing the resolutions committee was still
in session. The inability to reach sat-
isfactory conclusion on all the questions
to be touched upon caused great deal
Of discussion, and it leaked out just
prior to the time for calling the con-
venton to order that the stumbling
block was the endorsement of Senator
Voorhees,. The two factions were ex-
pected to come together on this point,
and the result will not be known until
the resolutions are presented. Gov.
Matthews was chosen permanent chair
man and addressed the convention.
Throughout his remarks were cheercd

in Captain Devery's case. Captain
Cross is the Adonis of the de-
partment. He was lawyer before he
became a policeman. He IS related to
Governor Flower and his reputation
for honesty has never before been
questioned. Capt, Devery has always
been rated as g first-class officer. Not

of the Parkhurst Society, he was in
dicted for wilful neglect of duty. in fail

On one side of the coffin, in large let
tiers, were the words, by the Home
Market Club, 5,000.n On the opposite
side was the official ballot of the Jeffer
sonian democracy, headed by the name
of Reuben F. Kolb. The coffin was
filed with corncobs, which are sup
posed to represent the body Of the late
candidate.
During the late campaign Senator
Hoar interested himself in having the
Home Market Club of Boston raise
$1,000, which was forwarded to Kolb
This fact, more than anything else
tended to renew the old line of republi.
cans and democrats, and lost Kolh
thousands Of democratic votes, which
he otherwise might have gained. The
democrats around Benton therefore
conceived the idea of sending Senator
Hoar reminder of the work he did for
them.

THE CoXEYITEs ALL GoNE.-"Gen-
eral" Coxey came near being mobbed
at the defunct Coxey camp, at High
lands, Nd, yesterday, when he went
there to get seven of his horses, which
have been used by the army since its
inception. Marshal Bullock was e1-
planning the circumstances of the ar
rest of the men, when Coxey angrily
replied that he did not want to hear
anything more about the army. He
had spent all the money and time in
the scheme he intended, and he was
done with the movement. The five
men remaining at the camp overheard
the heated conversation and COM
menced to abuse Coxey. The latter
was obliged to beat a hasty retreat on
one of his spirited steeds in the direc-
ton of Washington. While the men
were conversing with Bullock in the
front of Stagmaier's place, the other
horses were piloted around the back
way and driven to Washington. The
deserted Coxeyites were greatly in
censed and gave chase to Coxey but
the latter had gained too much head
way and escaped.
The last of the Frye Industrialites
living in the Northwest, 126 in number,
were given transportation last night as
far as st. Paul. There still remains at
the old Observatory grounds in Wash
ington thirty-five of the men, whose
homes are in the East. These men will
go away some time to-day. Not one
man in the lot regretted the fact that
be was going to leave the city which
they expected to conquer by peaceful
methods.

Train Held Up.

La PORTE, Ind, Aug. ia local
freight on the Lake Shore road was
held up late last night at Whiting. The
train was running at slow rate, when
three men climbed aboard. Two OF
them, whose faces were masked, held
cooked revolvers. The third member
of the gang went through the pockets
of the men who had just drawn their
monthly salaries and took everything
of value on their persons. The bandits
then disappeared in the woods.

LIQUOR DEALERS AND THE CHURCH.
The Vine and Spirit Gazette of this
week says "a careful survey of the
whole field justifies US in stating that
Mgr. Satolli's views of the relations be-
tween liquor dealers and the church
are not likely to be carried out by the
bishops in the cities of the country
We predicted such a result in our ssue
of July %. The full discussion which
the whole matter has received in the
press has been the means OF disclosing
to the dignitaries Of the church a great
light. Archbishops and bishops have
publicly declared their intention Of
ignoring Mgr Satolli's admonitioa-
The result is great triumph for Tie

THE commission appointed by the
President, after the recent railroad
strike was over, to investigate that
strike, met in Chicago yesterday. a
dispatch from there says it is unknown
when it will complete its work. OF
course it is, as its members are paid by
the day, and not by the job. The Pres
ident who appointed them, nor they,
nor any body else, ever supposed that
what they may do or not do will amount
to anything, but they are human, and
naturally love to suck the governments
teat, for even the Bible says money IS a
shield and defense.

New Orleans and Free Sugar

New ORLEANS, Aug. 15.-The pass
age Of the Wilson tariff bill has thrown a
damper on commercial dealings in this
city. AT least two-thirds of the popu-
lation looked to the sugar industry, d.
rectly or indirectly, for support, and
any legislation that is unfavorable to
sugar has decidedly bad effect on all
other commerce. Free sugar will close
down nineteen out of twenty sugar
plantations in this State, and New Or
leans will practically die commercial
death.

THE GROSS absurdities of the civil
service humoug have been conspicuous
ever since the organization OF the civil
service commission, but that they have
now reached the perfection ofgrotesque-
ness is made glaringly patent by the
fact that the republican shipping COM
missioner at Baltimore refuses to relln-
uuish that office and turn it over to the
democrat to whom it has been assigned,
and not only denies the right OF the
Secretary of the Treasury to remove
him, but has appealed to the courts to
sustain that denial. How could any
business be conducted properly when
those who receive orders, set those who
issue them at open defiance? But great
