Britannia's Day,

CowEs, Isle of Wight, Aug. 9.-Of
the six yachts entered for to-day's race
for the $500 purse, the YigilaDt and
Britannia were the only starters.
There was good west breeze as the
yachts started, the Britannia crossing
the line at 10:30:05, and holding the
weather position, with the Vigilant
closely following at 10:30:04. The
course was the same as on Saturday last,
twice around, a distance of As miles.
The Britannia held her weather posi-
ton and increased her lead gradually.
At the end of the first round the Brit
ANNA led by minutes and 80 seconds.
The Vigilant reduced the lead slightly
on the second round, the yachts finish
ing as follows: Britannia, 3:lS:07; Vigi-
liant, 3:20:20, the English yacht win
ming by minutes and IS seconds.
When the British cutter passed the fin
ish line whistles shrieked and every.
body shouted cheer after cheer. This
hearty welcome to the victor was in
strong contrast to the reception given
to the Vigilant at Saturdays and Mon
davis races,

SOME of those who favor high tax
on sugar and no tax at all on coal say
if they can't have the latter straight,
coal should at least be admitted free
from Canada, if that country imposes no
tax on American coal. What is true of
a part is true OF the whole. If free
trade in coal would be advantageous,
for a stronger reason, free trade in every
thing else would be more so. And then,
too, there would be no "per6dy" nor
"dishonor" in such trade. 1t would be
liz accordance with cardinal princi-
pile of true American democracy.

THE REVISION of the building laws
of the city, as recommended in two
communications in yesterdays GA
zErrE, is very wise and apt sugges-
ton, and should be adopted. But the
safety of the whole city, and not that
of particular buildings or of blocks of
buildings, should be the chief object,
and. with that in view, the fire limits
should be extended at once, and no
more wooden buildings be allowed
within them, for any reason.

THE governments leader in the Brit
ish House of Commons says he hopes to
be able to introduce bill in that body
next year providing salaries for mem
bers of Parliament. There has been
sad deterioration in the personnel of

will be woeful day for that body, and
q worse one for the people its members
represent, when seatsin Parliament are
sought, as those in Congress, are for the
salaries that are attached to them.

expressed no opinion of its merits; but
had introduced it by request, believing
the sacredness of the right of petition.
On motion of Mr.. Culbeison the
House voted to non-concur in the sub
stitute made by the Senate for the bill

FIFTY-THIRD CONGRESS.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 9
SENATE.

Among the bills passed in the morn
ing hour without objection was q
House bill for the relief of Louis Eel
ham, of Indiana. The case was curl
Gus one, arising in war times. Under
coniiscation proceedings Pelham had
in 1868, paid So, 900 for s. 900 note OF
party in Kentucky, supposed to De
disloyal. After the war the contisca-
ton proceedings were set aside by the
courts and Pelham was So, 900 out OF
pocket, which he had paid to the l nited
marshal. The bill was to reimburse
him.
House bill to repeal in part and to
limit a section of the revised statutes
under which bounty land warrants are
refused to eX-soldiers of the Mexican
war who afterward served in the Con-
federate army, gave rise to some discus
sion.
Mr.. George, who moved 10 take this
bill from the calendar, explained its
purpose and said that it would apply
to very few persons. That view OF the
case was contradicted by Mr.. Platt who
said that the bill would apply, not to q
few, but to thousands Of such old Mex
lean soldiers and their heirs. He con-
fessed his surprise that there should be
an attempt to take up measures and
rush them through in what all hoped
would be the closing hours OF the ses.
sion. These old Mexican soldiers had
been treated generously. They had
been given pensions, even though they
had not been sixty days in the service
and had never seen the enemy. This
bill was simply to give them, in addi-
ton, land warrants which would De
wo-th 5000 in cash. He moved to post
pone the bill till the first Monday in
December next.
Mr.. Hill remarked that the bill
simply removed legislative punishment
from few old men.
The discussion was interrupted by a
motion submitted by Mr. Gray to pro-
coed to the consideration of executive
business and at lis the galleries were
cleared, the doors closed and an execu-
tive session entered on.
At lao the Senate adjourned until
noon tomorrow.

A CHASTITY MYsTERY-A crowd Of
bathers were enjoying themselves in the
breakers at Bowery Bay Beach, Long
Island, yesterday, when the corpse Of
an unknown man was washed up
among them. The mans hands had
been fastened together and then Sc
curely strapped across his stomach.
The strap had been fastened in such
way as TO have rendered it impossible
for the man to have freed himself after
having been cast into the water There
were no external marks of violence.
and death had evidently been caused
by drowning. The police authorities
have been trying to solve the mystery.
but thus far their efforts have not met
with any success. The deceased was
well dressed, but nothing Of any value
either money or jewelry, was found II

worked in silk. The opinion Of the
authorities is that the man had been
