1t is understood that the typewriter
papers sent up to Supt. Byrnes Saturday
were the formal charges against Capt
Max Schmittberger.
All that could be learned about these
charges against the big commander Of
the Tenderloin squad was that they were
not based on tine alleged protection of the
social evil in the Tenderloin Precinct.

Prince of Wales Withdraws His
Yacht from All Regattas
The GeuIds Will Insist that She
Defend the Cape May Cup.
Howard VIII Take q 20 Rater Cen
treboarder Over Next Year.

TORQUAY, Aug. 27.--The Prince OF
Wales's cutter Britannia has been
scratched for the regatta here. and the
:, big race. consequently, has been aban-
doned. It is understood that the with
drawal of Britannia Is due to the
drowning accident OF Saturday last. by
which the chief officer and the caterer
of Britannia lost their lives.
WEYMOUTH, Aug. N.-Capt. Carter.
commander OF Britannia. has received a
telegraphic message from her owner.
the Prince of Wales. instructing him
not to race Britannia again this season
in any OF the regattas. The action of
the Prince OF Wales Is due to the ac-
cident by which, on Saturday last. Chief
Officer Simons and Caterer Roper, of
Britannia, and Engineer Brookman. OF
the steam yacht Tabura, were drowned.
AS already cabled. Chief Officer Simons
and his companions left the Prince of
Waless cutter for the shore. on Satur-
day, in a dingy. A heavy gale was
blowing at the time. and the men had
considerable difficulty in handling the
boat. They tried to put back, but dur
ing a rain squall the dingy was lost
sight of, and yesterday morning she was
ing has since been heard of the three
men, II Is concluded that they were
drowned.
The Prince of Wales. in his telegram
| to Capt Carter, added that unless Vigil
liant insists upon racing for the Cape
May cup, Britannia Is to lay up for
| the Winter.
After the race for the Cape May Cup
Vigilant will be laid up. probably at
Southampton. The Gouds do not antici-
| pate taking her to the Mediterranean,
as 1t is a long journey there. and she
IL only eligible to enter three or four
races.
Regarding the yachting season or 1880.
Mr.. Howard Gould remarked:
| II expect to come over here next year
with new Herreshoff twenty-rater. The
matter is not definitely settled, but that
is my present intention. OF course. II
there is a challenge issued for the Amer
ica's Cup things may be more lively at
home and 1t is probable that shall re-
main there, as 1t is quite likely that my
brother George will build a cup defender.
AS for myself, / am satisfied that there
| is much more sport to be had here out
of a twenty-rater than out OF any other
| boat"
Mr.. Gould was asked II his new yacht
would have a centreboard. to which he
replied:
'Of course. I suppose SO. An Ameri-
can boat must have a centreboard, al
though they are often in the way here"
Howard Gould was informed OF the
substance OF the despatch sent by the
Prince Of Wales to Capt. Carter. Mr..
Gould said:
$50 far as the Cape May Cup is con-
cerned Vigilant will certainly insist
upon contestlng for 1t. As l understand
the conditions. Britannia must defend 1t.
She cannot transfer that privilege to
Satanlta without the consent OF the New
York Yacht Club. II Britannia does not
sail against us she must give up the
cup"
In regard to the immediate future,
Mr.. Gould said that he doubted very
much whether he would send Vigilant
TO take part In the West Coast regattas
with Britannia absent.

Navigation on the lake was attended
with considerable danger, az captains OF

All BEATS in arriving are several hours

PRINTING THEIR SPEECHES.
Thirty-six Tariff Arguments Added
to the Record.
(By Associated Press. }


WASHINGTON, Aug. 27.-When the
House Of Representatives receded from
its disagreement to the Senate amend
ments to the Tariff bill, 1t granted "ten
days leave to print to all It's members.
That is to say, members who had not
been given time to speak during the
debate were given leave to print their
speeches in the Record, as though they
had been delivered. Only thirty-siX
speeches on the tariff have been printed
since this permission was given. A part
Of this number are speeches that were
in fact delivered on the floor. but were
withheld for revision. In several cases
one man has more than one speech in
serted.
In the Senate, during the long consid-
Grafton of the bill, the Democrats very
generally RETAINED from making
speeches, on account of the time II
would require. Since the bill has passed
few Democratic Senators sought to
make speeches on the bill. but the Re-
publicans objected to their delivery,
and, there being no voting quorum OF
Senators in the city. they were able to
prevent 1t.
1t will be seen from this that the ma
lority of Congressman of both parties
do not intend to present tariff literature
TO their constituents in the contest they
are making for reelection.
