TACOMA, Wash, Aug. 7.-Capt. w. R. Bridgeman, who Las commanded the United States cruiser Baltimore for the last two years, returned here on two months' leave of absence, having left the cruiser al Chemulpo, Corea, July 12. He regards the oriental war as an unequal contest, with the odds greatly favoring Japan, which he says has splendid navy and an army as well equipped as that of any European country. Japan, he thinks, is sure to win unless China is given time to make war preparations on d gigantic scale. In his opinion the Japanese government has been sndeayoring to force the war in order 10 detract attention from it's internal political dissensiOng.

"You have said" said Commissioner

WILL RACE NO NOPE.


The Chief Officer of the Britannia and
Two Others the Wednesday, Defend
the Cape May Cup, IL Gould Insists
Upon HacinG For II.
WEYMOUTH, Esq, Aug. 27.--Captain
Carter, commander Of the Britannia,
has received u telegraphic message from
her owner, the Prince Of Wales, in
structing him not to race the Britannia
again this season in any of the regattas.
The action Of the Prince of Wales is
due to the accident by which, on Satur-
day last, Chief Officer Silnons and
Caterer Roper Of the Britannia and
Engineer Brookman of the steam yacht
Tabura were drowned.
Chief Officer Slmons and his COM
panions left the Prince Of Wales cutter
for the shore on Saturday, in dingy.
A heavy gale was blowing at the time
and the men had considerable difficulty
in handling the boat. Eventually they
tried to put back, but during rain
storm the dingy was lost sight of, and
yesterday morning she was picked up
floating bottom up.
As nothing has since been heard of
the three men, it is believed that they
were drowned.
The Prince Of Wales, in his telegram
to Captain Carter, said that unless the
Vigilant insists upon racing for the
Caye May cup the Britannia was to Law
up for the winter.

In Philadelphia---Mrs. II. Foley and q
Snahish Sailor the Victims.


PHILADELPHIA, Pa, Aug. 2S.-Two
brutal murders occurred in this city
early to-day. The first was that Of
Honore Foley, aged 81 years, of 2015
South Ninth street, who was kicked TO
death by her worthless son, who had
been drinking.
A few hours later, Joseph Rodriguez,
Il Spanish sailor, was beaten to death
during fight at the corner of Guilford
and cambridge streets,
About o'clock this morning James
Foley, who had been drinking heavily
Tor week past, came home. He found
his mother in the kitchen and she IN
braided him for his conduct. This
drove the rum-crazed man into a rage,
and he knocked his mother down and
jumped upon her head repeatedly.
When his father came down stairs an
hour later he found his wife on the
kitchen floor with her head mashed to a
jelly. The son was lying in the yard
on grass plot with his shoes covered
with hair and blood. When arrested
he protested not TO know anything Of
the murder, saying he thought his arrest
was for drunkenness.

The Tame, Uneventful Ending of One of
the Longest sessions on Record.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 2S.-The long
first regular session of the 53d Congress
died to-day in an uneventful manner.
Ever since the Revenue Reform bill was
sent to the White House public interest
in Congressional proceedings has grad.
ually waned. The tamest and least in
tercsting closing of session ever known
was that of the Senate of the United
States to-day, which was witnessed by
large crowds of people, mostly visitors,
drawn to this city by the encampment
Of Knights OF Pythlas. The greater
portion of the two hours following the
opening prayer at noon was taken up in
brief recesses. Not more than twenty
Senators were present at any time.
WAITED On THE PRESIDENT.
Aside from the reading of the brief
journal of yesterdays proceedings the
only noteworthy things done were the
appointment Of q committee of two
Senators TO wait upon the President to
inform him that Congress was ready to
adjourn and their subsequent report
that they had complied with the direc.
ton of the Senate and that the Prcs-
dent had made reply that he had no
further communication to submit to
Congress.
Vice. President Stevenson broke the
record for brevitv in his neat and happy
farewell address TO the Senators. His
little speech was delivered in less than
one minute, and just before 2 o'clock
had arrived he adjourned the Senate

Under the head Of "Good Times
Coming" the Augusta, Ga, Nees re-
ports that the best crop the South has
grown since the days of slave labor is
now on her soil; the meaning Of which
is that the farmers have learned to work
out their own salvation and, with this
idea in their heads, have gone TO work
to make u living at home by raising
their own supplies. 1t has been long
time since Georgia has seen within her
borders such an immense quantity Of
pork, beef and mutton on foot, and SO it
is over the whole of the Southern
States. The potato crop. the pea crop,
the sorghum crop, and the corn crop are
better than they have boon in many
years; while rice and wheat have been
grown in places where they were un-
heard OF before. The cotton crop is
simply immense. In spite of the pro.
longed drouth in various sections the
crop has been made and the plant has
got the size and the cotton on it. Wet
weather and an early fall can affect it
but little; there is too much Of it. Clear
weather and late fall means the largest
crop since the war. The only thing about
it will be the price. However, planters in
the cotton belt say that if they get seven
cents for their cotton they will be able
to pay their debts. Texas has prepared
to smash all previous records this year
SIS to the amount of cotton raised within
her borders. In the early summer, after
getting their oats off the land, they
planted the stubble in cotton, thing
unknown to Georgia. At "lay by" time
they planted cotton between the corn
rows, afterwards stripped the fodder
and will raise crop of corn and crop
of cotton on tine same land. The recent
heavy rains that have fallen there mean
more than million of dollars to the
State. They mean fall crop of cotton
which will have until December to
make, and abundance of grass and
water to the stock men. "a bounteous
supply Of home raised corn and meat"
the editor concludes, "is greater
panecea for real and fancied wrongs
and ills than free silver or free trade,
and the farmers having an abundance
of these commodities are strictly in it.'
