1t is true that nobody can be certain
that this years Satanita is up to the
form Of 1898. as. until quite lately. IL
seemed clear that this years Vigil
liant was not equal to the Vigilant Of
1898. In another respect the race is
gratifying to American yachtmen,
since the vigilant seems to have
changed her luck, and, for the first
time in British waters. to have got
ten freshening breeze after a calm
before it reached the Brittania. The
calm does not seem, however, very
materially to have retarded the
racers. The winners time. Just over
seven hours for a 55-mile race around
the Isle of Wight. does not allow
much space for Gains.
Although the Vigilant was in
readiness for the race scheduled for
yesterday for her majesty's cup,
neither the Brittania nor the Satanita
appeared and there was no race.
Today. however. the Britisher won.

Give Gov. Hogg, Of Texas. his due
During the Debs instruction he was
reported rs using some intemperate
language. criticising the presidents
action in sending federal troops to
Chicago. The governor now enters
a denial. and says: "Since the war
! have always been. am now. and
shall continue to be for the indisso-
luble union. the stars and stripes,
law and order. the preservation Of
local self-government, and public
and private integrity. Nothing that
1 ever said on this occasion, or at

the contrary" The chief magistrate
of Texas evidently rejects the opin-
ion becoming rather general, that q
governor cannot open his mouth
nowadays without showing a vacuum

FoR the fiscal year ended June 80,
1894, our imports amounted to 1854,
s35.s7S. against 1866, 400, 922 for the
year 1898. decrease Of &212. 900, 900.
On the other hand, our exports in
creased from $S47. OOO, 900 to 1892
100000. Last year the balance OF
trade was against us, as the phrase
is, by $l9,OOO,O00. This year it is
$237 900. 900 in our favor. that is, our
exports exceed our imports by that
amount. Still the republicans are
not happy. Instead OF pointing with
pride to the fact that the Mckinley
bill had Mt last accomplished the
purpose for which it was intended,
they have the temerity to say that
the condition OF our trade is the re-
suit Of having n democratic admins
tration. According TO the republic
can theory. the fiscal year 1894 was
an ideal one. 1t marked the COM
plete success Of the Mckinley bill in
checking importations. and 1t hap.
pened. besides, that exports were not
decreased.

September Corn Fluctuates Over . Range
of lie Cents.
CHICAGO, Aug. 9.-There was the wild.
est excitement in the markets and corn
fuctuated over range of 81 cents, while
the gyrations OF wheat covered nearly 3
cents. During the first half hour there
was great excitement and September corn
sold rs high as 81 y cents and May up to
81 cents, all showing marked advance
from the day before. Shorts were for a
time in perfect frenzy and greedy to
buy everything in sight. But after a time
the feeling quieted down and the trading
became comparatively tame.
Then the holders began to realize and
the oit,rings were generous; but it was
soon found that there was little demand.
the high prices having apparently scared
buyers away, and the efforts to sell be-
came more urgent, finally resulting in a
break OF 51s cents on September corn and
cents Oh May. September wheat sold
oil 215 cents and December IL cents. On
the way down the selling was frantic and
the excitement intense. September corn
sold early at SO cents to 6l15 cents, broke
to 50 cents and rallied to "a cents and at
1879 May sold up to 5. cents and broke TO
81 cents. September wheat sold up 10
5ei. cents early, but broke to 555s cents.
while December sold UP TO 6l1s cents and
fell TO 5s99. cents.
