BELFAST, Ireland, July 16.-For the

been defeated in race with the Bril-
tannia. The contest today was an ex-
citing one and the British cutter plucked
victory out of the jaws OF defeat. alter

success.

THE HERALD has had close and crit
ical investigation made into the city ex-
penditurss, and is convinced that if the
council will insist upon rigid economy
in all the departments, and make sucb
retrenchments az ought to be made in
these trying times, the tax rate can be
reduced to 81 on the $l00 without the
slightest injury to the municipal service.
Every man in business is now sailing as
close to the wind as possible, and
wherever it is possible to cut down ex-
penees, prudent people are doing So.
These are times that try mems econom-
ical powers to the utmost, and the city
government should not be made a
vehicle of unnecessary expenditure when
the taxpayers are doing their bsat to
make ends meet. We believe that there
are many leaks that could be stopped and
q great many very dispensable billete
in the city government which would
not be missed if they we're done away
with. The HERALD has shown where
material reductions in the running ex-
penses of the government can be made,
and if the council would only enter into
the work of inaugurating municipal re-
form with determination to accom-
plish their object, they would soon be
enabled to see their way clear TO carry
ing out the dollar limit.

THE proceedings in the council yester-
day with reference to the city parks
demonstrate very signslly the fact that
the charter should be so amended as to
provide for the election of several mem
bers OF that body by the city at large.
As it ia, the general interests of the city
are subordinated to the local demands
Of councilmen. II proposition is made
TO improve one park, then the council
men from other districts insist that their
localities should be equally favored.
Last March the land committee recon-
mended that 245 acres, located in the
center of Elysian park, and belonging to
private individuals be proceeded against
by suits OF condemnation. Yesterday
the council entertained this recon-
msndation, when amendments to in
clude the condemnation OF additional
lands for Westlake and Eastlake parks
we're offered. These amendments were
adopted. Mr.. Campbell wants the
Hollenbsck park enlarged, and Mr..
Pessel insists that the southeast part of
the city must be provided with public
breathing grounds, and proposes that
the Briewalter tract be condemned for a
park. And so it goes. 1t will be noted
that the city having proceeded to con-
denim the lands, it stands committed to
purchase them; whereupon the CUES

The race today was open to yachts

temporary, however, for in the run to
the Blackhead boat the Vigilant widsned
the gap, and rounded the mark min

gained 2 minutes and IA seconds. Four
teen seconds were added to the lead in
the run to complete the second round.

The Britannia passed the Vigilant be-
tween the frat and second mark boats
on the third round, and led by 2 min
utes and 10 seconds.
After the Britannia got ahead the race
was virtually over, as tho Britannia was
enabled, with fresher breeze, to beat
the Vigilant safely. The rest of the
race was in no way in accordance with
the form shown by either yacht during
the early stages of the contest. The
Vigilant exhibited decided superiority at
every point, and ought to have won with

AN IMPORTAN BILL IN EQUITY.

Yesterday afternoon tbs United States
district attorney, and his special assist
ant Mr.. Call. at the direction OF Attor-
ney General Olney filed bill in equity
in the United States circuit court against
the Southern Pacific company OF Ken
lucky. The bill, 1t is stated by these
attorneys, is brought undsr the same
statute, the act OF July 2, 1890. under
which proceedings have alrea dy been
commenced against the striking EN-.
ployees of the railway company, the
charge being that of forming comb.
nation to retard commerce.
The bill asks that all OF the corpora
tions which are consolidated with
or work under any agreement with the
Southern Pacific company. be forced to
separate from that corporation and be
operated by their own officers over their
own lines. There are in the neighbor.
hood OF thirty such corporations which
now compose the Southern Pacific COM
pany of Kentucky.
If decree shall be given in favor OF
the government it would result in the
railway from San Francisco to Portland
being operated as a sole corporation
the game would be the case with the
Sou thern Pacific from San Francisco to
this city, with the Central Pacific, the
Pacific Mail Steamship company. the
road from here to Santa Monica, the
line to Long Beach and great number
Of other roads.
The bill goes into ell the details OF
The herald., 1894-07-17

how such combinations were brought
about, and makes the definite charge
that the combinations entered into
between the various companies were
"a conspiracy" to monopolize a large
part of the trade and commerce between
the states Of this nation, and between
the United States and foreign nations.
Besides asking the annullment OF all
agreements between the alleged con-
spring corporations, the bill asks for
perpetual injunction restraining each OF
the defendants from any further enter
ing into similar combination or con-
epiracy.
The herald., 1894-07-17

THERE has been a good deal Of talk
about q big mortgage for $l7, 800, 900,
filed in San Francisco by the Market
Street Railway company, and hints
thrown out that the financial condition
of that concern was insecure. There
was never a greater fallacy. The mort
gage in question takes the place of one
given several years ago, and was given
solely for the purpose OF correcting sew
eral errors in the original document,
which is now taken up and Cancelled of
record. There are few better invest
ments in America than the cable roads
OF Market street in San Francisco.

ton Of issuing bonds for that purpose is
submitted to the people. We seriously
doubt whether the people are in a mood
to vote to increase their debt at this
time Of distress and hardship. II they
refuse to do 80. as we believe they will,
the trouble and expense of condemna-
ton suits will go for nothing. There is
very general impression gaining head
way in this city that the park business
is being run in the ground by the coun-
cilmen, who are determined that their
local interests shsll not yield to the gen.
eral good.

GEN. ]. B. Fry, who died the other
day, was noted as having been the
worst enemy the bounty-jumpers ever
had. He caused, in the short space OF
two years, the arrest of $4,000 deserters
from the army, most of whom were sent
to prison, while over 200 of them were
shot. An autobiography of his busy
life is in press and will shortly appear.
Fry held the most thankiess position
of any man in the army, but history
will vindicate thoroughly his devotion
to his duty as an officer.
