VIGILANYS GAFE.
Britannia Will Have a Walk
Over Today-Satanita's
Turn.
BIZ Gable to the United Press.

QUEEssTowN, July 25, 1S94.-The propo-
sition of Admiral ST. John to have the
broken gaff of the American yacht Vigilant
repaired at the Navy Yard was accepted by
Mr.. George Gould last night; but, as tho
Government workmen could not finish the
job in time to permit the centreboarder to
sail against the Britannia over the Royal
Cork course today, it was decided to send the
gaff to the Passage Dry Docks. Mr.. L. j.
Walker, First Vice Consul of the United
States at Cork, transferred the jaws of the
gaff to the dry dock in his steam launch late
last night. The Passage worBZnen were en-
gagged on the job incessantly until this morn
ing, but the repairs were unsatisfactory, and
AiF. Gould decided that he weuId not run the
risk of an accident today that might prevent
the NigiIant from taking part in the races IN
the Solent with the Santanita, the Britannia
and probably the Valkyrie, which Is now
undergoing repairs.
WALKovER FOR BRITANNIA
Mr.. Jameson offered to postpone the race
until tomorrow if Mr.. Gould would say posi-
lively that the Vigilant would race then.
Mr.. Gould said it would be impossible to so
promise and the Britannia will sail over the
course today and, under the rules Of the race,
take the prize.
The Vigilant carried away the jaws of her
gaff, partly because the peak was
hoisted too high The motion of the
sea and the frequent going over a course
of nine turns weakened the jaws. When
ever the main boom swung to port
OF starboard, the taut-fitting mainsail
lurched and strained the jaws of the gaf.
Mr.. Gould, on the advice of Captain Hank
Half, will have the head of the sailsso altered
that the gaff will be at less acute angle
with the mast, and the strain on the jaws
will be relieved somewhat. The Vigilant
will sail for Penzance, to take part in the
regetta there on Saturday, if she can be put
in shipshape before that date.
SATANITAs IS TURN.
If there is half a gale and heavy sea in
the Penzance regetta it is likely that the
American yacht will be tested against the
powerful weather defer Satanita. as she
never has been beaten by either the
Yalkyrie or Britannia.
The magnificent sailing Of the Vigilant
in yesterdays race inspired enthusiastic
Irish yachtsmen with strong desire to see
her again in conflict with the cutter They
were much disappointed today, but they
probably viii have chance before the close
of the season to see battle in the open in
which the Vigilant will take part. Mr.. T.
L. Arnott of the Royal Clyde Yacht Club
has offered prize of $500 to the winner of
an ocean race to be finished eff this harbor,
and Mr. Gould has declared that he'wiU
enter the Vigilant. Mr.. Gould also an
nounces that he will give silver cup to the
winner Of race here next summer

been received here G. the total wreck of the
British bark William LIE Lacheur, of Cape
st. James on Provost Island, 600 miles from
Singapore. The vessel left Singapore
for Hong Kong on May 4 to load for
San Francisco. Her bones are now bleach

the bodies of her crew are strewn along the
shore Out of crew of twelve, not man
lives to tell the tale When, she went
ashore is not known, but it was probably
few days after she left Singapore.
Captain Regnel was careful sailor and
an experienced navigator. Whether or not
he knew the lay of the land toward which he
was heading is not known Cape St. James
is a deceptive point.
The vessel was commanded by Captain
Regnel, and Frank H Stivers was the first
officer; Laro Jorgensen, a Swede. second
officer, and Henry B. Fitzhugh, an English
man, third officer. The crew consisted of
five Englishmen and eight Chinese. The
bark was built in Guernsey in 1854 and
registered T73 tons. and was 1868 feet in
length, 30.5 in breadth of beam and 1T feet
in depth of hold

South AMBoY, July 25, 1S94.-The hotly
contested election for members of the Board
of Education, held here yesterday, called
out the largest vote ever polled at school
trustee election, nearly 1000 votes being
polled in the two hours The meeting was
called at three P M, but the polls were not
opened until half-past three P. NJ, and were
closed at half past five P. NJ, thus shutting
out hundreds of workinglnen who could not
leave their work to go to vote.
There is very strong talk of contesting the
election on the ground that it was Illegal
to allow women to vote. 1t is also said that
some young ladies voted who were not
twenty one years of age, some being only
seventeen OF eighteen. 1t is further claimed
that residents of SayrevIlle township voted,
as did also others who had not lived in the
borough for six months past
1t is rumored that papers are now being
drawn and sworn to which will throw the
whole matter in the hands of the court.
The successful candidates are William
Birmingham who has been clerk of District
No. 80 for eight years; Captain John Ford,
Thomas J. Scully, who was defeated for AS
semblv last fall; William Bowe, Michael
Salmon, Sr., ex-Township Committeeman
Edwin Gallagher ex- Mayor F. s. De Graw,

interested Republicans from this city and
every county in the State speculation this

local dispute between the followers of
John E. Milholland and those who espouse
the Bliss-Patterson faction, each OF
which will endeavor to get recog

holland claims that he represents the
republican voters of this city, while the
other side say that his organization is not
regular and that they alone represent the

is said, is anxious to make peace
between the warning factions, but there is
not much probability that he will succeed in
his efforts William Brookheld, Chairman

to write under the inspiration of celestial
visions, in which the Lord himself appeared

RAILWAY MAIL CLERKS KICK.
The Postmaster-SSenera says They
Must Live Within Their Lines.


WASHINGTON, July 25, 1S94.-The recent
order of the Post Office Department re-
quiring mail clerks to live along the
line of their route is strongly antagonized
by the employees, who claim that in many
cases their homes are IN other parts
of the country, and that in order to comply
with the terms of the new rule they will be
compelled to make great pecuniary sacri-
fees Representative John c. Black of Hi
nois has been asked by a number of the rail
way clerks in that State to see the Post
master General and endeayor, If possible, to
secure some modification of the order.
Mr.. Black this morning saw the
Superintendent of the Railway Mail Service
regarding the order, but that gentleman in
formed him that the department cannot
change it. Later in the day memoranda
of the reasons" for the PRONUNCIATION of the
order were furnished to him. The Superin-
tendent of the Railway Mail Service re-
ported that clerks who lived off
their lines could not respond to orders
to report for extra duty soon enough to
meet sudden emergencies and, as a result,
trains to which railway post office cars were
attached. not infrequently left their terminal
point without their full compliment of
clerks, and consequently the mails
could not be distributed and delivered
to the patrons of the Postofice Depart
ment until after a delay of several
hours When it is understood that some of
the clerks live 100 or $50 miles from the
lines to which they are assigned, the fact
that they are not available for emergency
service becomes self-eyident and the neces-
sity for their living at some point where
they can be in touch with the officers of the
service is manifest
The Superintendent of the railway mail
service closes his memoranda of reasons"
with the statement that in order that no I'M
necessary hardship might be imposed upon
were given until May l, 1895, to dispose of
their property Where the clerks can
change their residence without pecuniary
loss they will be required to do SO at once.

BERLIN, July 25, 1S94.-The Cologne
Gazette says that the treaty concluded in
1885 between China and Japan empowers
both Governments to demand that the King
of Corea maintain force of troops sufficient
to guarantee public safety and also to em-
ploy foreign officers to organize the Corean
army. AT the same time botn parties to the
treaty agreed not to send their own officers
to organize the Corean army Beyond the
contention of Japan that the King of Corea
has not attended to the maintenance of
public order the terms of the treaty do not
afford any grounds for Japan's interference.
