VlGILANT'S NEXT RACE.

LONDON, July l3--Nigilant's next
race Will be in the Bangor regatta at
Belfast on Monday. Britannia is also
entered in the race
The Times. speaking of yesterdays
race, says there seems to be little doubt
that in strong wind and smooth
waters Nigilant would be able to beat
Britannia to windward. but 1t Is ques-
tionable whether she is SO fast in any
weather. ON close reach or in a burst
down the wind all trials have proved the
vessels TO be marvellously well matched.
Nigilant and Britannia have been en-
tered for the Plymouth and Penzance
regattas.
Nigilant arrived at Greenock this
morning, and was taken to the Scot la nd
Company's yard. where she will undergo
considerable changes before again meet

can sloop are TO be shortened and her
sail area is to be reduced in order TO
enable her to meet the Prince of Wales s

General Managers Association
Then Refuses to Confer
with Mr.. Debs.
WHAT PRESIDENT GOMPERS HAD TO SAY.
Thought the Strike Must Go On or There
Would Be Nothing to Ar
bitrate Upon.

Samuel Gompers. President of the
American Federation of Labor. reverting
to the cause and effect OF the present
crisis. said
II doubt whether the action of the
Committee on Arbitration to be appoint
ed by President Cleveland will mater
tally affect the Pullman strike a : 1t was
originally. because | do not see how II
has anything to do with the Interstate
Commerce Law.
My understanding is that the O'Nelll
Law can only take effect when the Com
merce law is violated"
He thus left the Impression that the
arbitration would be of no force. because
the Pullman strike did not come under
the law of arbitra alton, and therefore the
only means of obtaining a settlement
would be by carrying on the strike.
In passing his comments o. ilo-al Law
strike legislation and historical preoe-
dents. Mr.. Gompers referred TO the set
Element of the great miners strike in
England. some years ago. when Lord
Eosebery arbitrated the differences be-
tween the mine owners and strikers.
The conditions said he. were the
same as now exist here. Military force
was brought in and all of this done to
force a settlement; but it could not he
done in that way. Lord Rosebery took
upon himself TO settle II and did IT
seems to me II that could he done in
Europe. 1t could be done here in Amer
lea. We must have strict arbitration
laws here"
In furtherance of his idea OF the moral
force OF the Government. which he
terms arbitration, Mr.. Gompers seemed
10 think that the strike must be car
rled on tor some time Yet, when he said:
There must be coutendng forces IN
order to have an arbitration. The
President must appoint his commit
tee and they must come here They
have full power TO act They viii have
10 closely examine this whole matter
and then report TO the President and
10 Congress, and then action will be
taken by that body. II the strike Is
stopped at any time II will then be
settled and the committee will hare

TOULON. July 13.-The authorities of
this port are investigating what appears
to be the attempt of Anarchists to de-
stroy by fire the new French ironclad
Carnot. which was launched yesterday.
Just previous to launching the iron
clad, one Of the dockyard officials dis
covered smoke issuing from the hold Of
the vessel.
An alarm was promptly given. and 1t
was found that the fire had only just
been started. and, therefore. it was cas-
lily extinguished
The flames had been started In a
manner which leaves no room for doubt
that it was a plot to destroy the ship by
fire. a large bottle of turpentine had
been emptied over the woodwork OF the
hold in a manner well calculated to cause
a rapid spread OF the fire.
Near the bottle box OF matches was
found. and several burned matches were
around the spot where the flames burst
forth.
1t is reported that one of the dockyard
workmen. suspected of being an Anar.
chist. was shortly afterwards arrested,
and confessed that he and two accom-
plices planned to set fire to the Carnot.

Cleveland, Ohio, In q State OF Tur.
mOil- A Mob Bent on
Destruction.

Cleveland, May "A mob numbering
5000 again assembled in the public
square this morning and marched out on
mission of destruction to Scranton
avenue where every window along the
route of march was broken. At the
Variety iron works the mob forced the
workmen to run out of the building. At
the Upson nut and bolt works the win
dows were broken, the machinery smashed
and the workmen driven away. Twenty
five men were driven from the Church
furniture works. Police are being hur-
ried to the scene from all the city sta
tions and all the reserve force, including
the mounted men, have been ordered out.
Many arrests have been made and great
excitement prevails in the southern part
Of the city.
FIGHT WITH POLICE.
The mob after moving up jennings
avenue reformed and were again and
again charged by the police. The rioters
had meanwhile raided the scrap iron yard
and armed themselves with pieces of iron.
They were in frenzy of excitement and
we're constantly urged on by the leaders
to resist the officers. At this juncture a
large reinforcement of police arrived on
the scene and another charge was made
on the mob with drawn clubs. The men
showed fight for moment and then the
ranks were broken and the rioters scat
tered in all directions. The police mean.
time used their clubs with such effect that
many of the rioters were laid low. Patrol
wagons were loaded with prisoners and
quickly sent to the nearest police station,
