II. Il. McGFegor has written a letter to
the american Citizen" published at St.
Louis. We copy the letter verbatim, as it
appears in the Citizen:
To the Editor. Dear Sir: Permit me
through columns OF your paper to explain
to your readers the action the Mayor
and City Council took, when they were
informed that a band of Commonwhealers
were coming down the river, and would
encamp in tho city limits OF Lexington.
The City Council passed a resolution pro-
hibiting them to land, infiicting a penalty
of arrest as Migrants, il they did SO.
The miners, 1000 strong, assembled and
marched down to the river bank, lead
by a brass band, excorted Hogans army
into town, and defied the city authorities
to arrest any one OF them. We had a great
demonstration and we proved to the City
Council that, when they were ready to
overriche the law and Overstep the line of
demarkation of justice, that we were also
ready to ride rough-shod over such 4
damnable resolution. We had a parade
and han held a large mass meeting which
was addressed by President McGregor and
the captain of the army, inside the city
limits.
We ask you to publish this in your
columns, in order that the people may
know that the laboring men OF Lexington
are in sympathy with the C~ommonweal-
cis hotciucht. lucy Will euS %. iouis
about Saturday, and we sincerely hope
that the labor organizations will turn out
and give those men a hearty reception,
as they are II honest, hard working man,
bound for Washington.
III we can possibly make it We shall be
in st. Loui when they arrive. We ask
that you assist those men as most of them
are members of organized Labor. They
are silver miners from Butte Citv, Mon
tana.
Yours in the cause of Labor,
THos. B. McGREooR,
Pres. U. NJ. w. A..
The above letter, over McGregor's sig.
nature, shows the animus of the man.
Probably he thought this cat would O
come back, but it is here. We have in
our hands some interesting documents
from Pittsburg, Kansas, showing his re-
cord before he left that city for the city's
good. The people of this city will not
much longer tolerate the presence Of a
blatherskite who openly talks of burning
the town, who shouts "Hurrah for Coxey''
who works against the interest Of the men
who follow him, who is a chronic kicker
and agitator, a leader in unnecessary
and foolish strikes, and more foolish
'boycotts." The In~telligencer showed
him up last week, and we propose to show
him up till his duped followers will des-
pise him as we do. We know him to be
a beat and a fraud, if no worse, and we
intend to prove it.

made by members of the order, and an
application for a charter was signed by
about thirty men, with q lumber to hear
from. The meeting was a pleasant one
and a successful one. The young men of
Mayhem treated the visitors royalty.
Tuesday morning, a committee com
posed of Louis Weis, Patrick McNally
and John Carter, visited the lN%TELLIaEN-
GER Office with the object Of getting the
INTELLIaENcER to print a set Of resolu-
tions retracting what 1t had said concern
ing T. B. McGregor. The committee
came with the credentials of the Miners
Union, and their resolutions, though
brief, were abusive OF the editor, yet very
eulogIstic concerning McGregor. The
miners who brought them were DELHI
erately Informed that we had said nothing
concerning their leader which was not
s~ubstantiated by facts, and that we were
able and willing to bear the consequences.
They were requested to report to their
union that at any time the miners desired
the use of these columns, they must first
present gentlemanly, decent and intel
ligent articles; and, secondly, they must
send them in by gentlemen and in the
proper manner.

FREE=FOR=ALL.
Annual Regatta Of the
EnCinals.
Lively Yacht Racing Off the Alameda
ShOre-The Dan Proves Herself
to Be Fast Craft.

The annual free-for-all race of the Enci-
nal Boat Club took place yesterday over
the club course on the Alameda side of the
bay. In conjunction with this event the
first and second classes raced for the chal-
lenge remnants.
The starting gun was fired at P. NJ. and
all classes had to pass over at the same
time, as it was race for one flag open to
all yachts in the club. The first to cross
was the Fearless at . :01 30, followed by
the Dan at 2:O1 81. the Red Imp at 2:O1 :57,
the Florence at 2:O2:47, the Thelma at
2:0S :07, the Little Annie at 2:O4:16. the
Thetis at :04 "a. the Fawn al 2 :05 so and
the Volante at :07 %.
The work of the Dan was a great sur
prise to those who were not Thoroughly
acquainted with her ability. At the first
StakebOat she had gained fully minute
on the Florence, which was in second
place, leading the rest Of the fleet. On the
reach TO the outer stakeb0a she added
fully another minute and a half, but on
the run home this was reduced until she
only crossed fOrty-three seconds ahead Of
the Florence. This gave her the race and
flag on actual sailing time without the use
OF her time allowance. 1t was just the
wind the Dan wanted and there was but a
small sea running. which allowed her
second and the Fawn third.
During the beat to stakeboat the board
of the Thetis touched. This somewhat
startled the skipper. who thought lie was
gcing aground, and as he was under the
lee of the Little Annie he gave the latter
craft notice to go about. This was q OF
heard, so he went about on the port tack
and tried to cross the bow of the Little
Annie, who had the right of way. The re-
suit was that the Thetis had her water
sail carried away, and withdrew from the
race. The judges took the matter up after
the race was over and decided that Com
modoTe Leonard was in the right in hold
Ing on his course, as at that time there was
enough water at any point of the course.
The Dan, besides winning the free-fOr-
all pennant, gets the challenge pennant in
I he second class. The challenge pennant
in the first class goes to the Little Annie.
The Dan finished at 3:1S:2 6, The Flor
ence at 20: 25, the Little Annie at "a %,
the Fawn at 3:20:35. the Thelma at :33 SO.
the Volante at 1886 %, the Fearless at
3 :45 :16 and the Red Imp at 8 :49 "a. The
finish was somewhat strung out and from
the positions in which they finished it was
easily seen how they stood.
The attendance at the clubhouse was
the largest this season, and every craft
had its admirers.
The result OF the race as announced nv
the officials was as follows: Dan. :O9:14.
Florence, 1:13:22; Fawn, 1:l5:14: Little
Annie, II 81; Thelma, 1918; Volan @
